Psalm 46

How the Bard found his way into the Scriptures

Shakespeare at the time was 46 years old. The 46th word from the beginning is Shake and the 46th word from the end is Spear. That is if you leave off the final Selah. Does that mean that it isn't a cryptogram, because it is not perfect?

Not necessarily.

If this is a cryptogram, it is of human invention. And humans sometimes say close enough.

Psalm 46

To the chief Musician for the sons of Korah, A Song upon Alamoth.

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains SHAKE with the swelling thereof. Selah. There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High. God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early. The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted. The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah. Come, behold the works of the LORD, what desolations he hath made in the earth. He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the SPEAR in sunder; he burneth the chariot in the fire. Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.

What is really intriguing about this Psalm is that it has 204 words and 816 letters. That means that every word here has an exact average of 4.

816/ 204 = 4

The real coder here is not the translators but as always, God, in the name of Jesus Christ.

If we use the same sort of methodology of the cryptogram, now counting letter positions rather words, we find that the 'S' of SHAKE begins at the 203 letter. Adding these up we find the word itself has another exact average.

s = 203

h = 204

a = 205

k = 206

e = 207

203 + 204 + 205 + 206 + 207 = 1025

1025/ 5 = 205

205 = Jesus Christ

Ιησους Χριστος Greek Ordinal = 205

Moreover the this 1025 makes a perfect square of the Hebrew word for God. Squares indicate that a thing is true. The vertical and the horizontal beams of the cross here both add up to 205 Jesus Christ, once more.

God אלהים (Elohim) ordinal = 41

41 41 41 41 41

41 41 41 41 41

41 41 41 41 41

41 41 41 41 41

41 41 41 41 41

= 1025
