Peter's letters are sober and Alastair Days focused, like this verse -

1 Peter 4:7
"But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer. "

The verse has 12 words and the value of the last word (prayer) is:

1656

This is fitting given his (God's) statement. 1656 is the year it all ended, the year of Noah's Flood. In addition, the Lord emphasizes the point by making the 1656 word, the LAST word.

The actual position of the word in the verse makes a theological statement.

imho

Jesus is Lord,
The First & the Last
