John,

 

I just now read your post about Psa 106, part 2, and I want to thank you for sharing your inspired study of God's Word!  In the post you state:

 

The first occurrence appears at the end of Book I of Psalms, at the end of Psalm 41, "Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen."

The three remaining occurrences are found in Book IV of Psalms, with the first occurrence appearing at the start of the first psalm of Book IV, Psalm 90:2, "Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God."

One more occurrence is recorded in Psalm 103:17 before Scripture presents to us the final appearance of the equivalent at the end of Book IV of Psalms, at the end of Psalm 106, verse 48.

 

OK, here's what struck me as I read your post...I was reminded of Revelation 4:1 (Chapter IV--4:1)

"   The rapture verse!

The 4th chapter, 1st verse begins with after this (meta touta) and ends with hereafter (meta touta).  Strong's #  ^{3326 5023} .  So, Rev 4:1 is bookended also, which I find facinating. And after this (pun intended) the Church is never mentioned!  And the number 4 is associated with the Hebrew letter Dalet, which signifies a DOOR!

Actually, the term  "afterward" (meta touta) is also used in Hebrews 4:8. But to appreciate this you have to read verses 1-16 (the whole chapter) which I think is very relevant. And of course, the 4th commandment concerns the Sabbath day of rest!

I think I remember Chuck Missler saying that coincidence is not a Kosher word!  LOL

Do you think these little nuggets seem to fit in?

Thanks, Kay. I have been thinking about the relationship between these two numbers: 19 and 22. Their sum is 41!
