We see God's preference for symmetry throughout his creation. The human form seen from the front or back is symmetrical. All animals and plants show signs of symmetry. With that in mind, I looked at the Bible's 66 books for indications of symmetry. The 33rd book is Micah. In Micah 5:2 we are told of the incarnation of God into human form, in Bethlehem. Also the prediction is made that He will be the ruler of Israel. Of course, David and Jesus were born in Bethlehem: "... out of thee shall he come forth that is to be the ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting." If we split the first 33 books in two, we find in book 16 and 17, Nehemiah and Ester, the order to rebuild Jerusalem and restore the Feast of Tabernacles in Nehemiah and the preservation of the Jews by Esther's efforts through Mordecai to enable the Jews to defend themselves. Without these two monumental actions, Israel and the Jews might have disappeared from history. If we split the last 33 books in two, we find the books of Ephesians and Philippians. In both of these books the church of the New Testament is defined as a new creation composed of Jews and Gentile believers, the mystery of the Old Testament is revealed. In Philippians we are strong through the in-dwelling of Christ in our lives. Summarizing, in Micah we have a new creation, the incarnation of God in human form and in Nehemiah and Esther we have the restoration of the chosen people and their city Jerusalem, In Ephesians we have the new creation, the body of Christ in the church which is empowered in Philippians. Of course, then first and last books, book 1 Genesis, and book 66 Revelation explain the entire panoramic view of God, man and explains the purpose of God in making man to be His family and how His Son Jesus would make it possible after the fall in Eden.
