The Bible was written by forty different people over a period of hundreds of years. Just a little proof that God is in control and the center of the universe.
The shortest chapter of the Bible is Psalm 117. The longest is Psalm 119. The chapter in the center of the Bible is Psalm 118. There are 594 chapters before and after Psalm 118. Multiply this number by 2 and you'll get 1188. The center verse of the Bible is Psalm 118:8. Psalm 118:8(NKJV): It is better to trust in the LORD than put confidence in man." The word Lord is in the center of this verse and in the center of the Bible. How could this have happened without God's plan and Him in control?

I think it is awesome but it is just the beginning. The more you read the Bible and pray for God's holy spirit to help you understand, the more you learn and the more you know--IT MUST BE GOD'S HANDIWORK.

Actually, the divisions into chapters & verses of the Bible was done by men. LORD is the title that was substituted by men for the Divine Author's own Name: Jehovah. Much more important than the numerical divisions in our modern Bibles is the message contained throughout God's word to us. Also of interest is the Accuracy of everything it says, and the way it has always Survived, despite many attempts to destroy it! THAT says a LOT about God's Protection & Plan for it, right there!

Considering it was man who totally altered and twisted the words written by men in the first place, either it is a coincidence or you have wrong information. Considering most people who believe in the bible are full of erroneous information, that is the likely answer.
