This came up in my Facebook memories this week and I thought it would be cool to share. In my Bible classes, the pastor/teacher always talks about how amazing the Bible is. The fact that it was preserved throughout history and we can hold it in our hands today and read those words in itself boggles my mind.
I’m a visual person. I am well aware of the various cross references throughout the whole of Scripture, but this image/chart really allows you to see just how many there are!
The Facebook post reads:
“This might be the most amazing data picture you see in a lifetime! It shows the 63,779 cross-references in the Bible. The white bars along the bottom represent each Bible chapter, Gen. 1 – Rev. 22. The line’s color shows the reference’s distance from the other. A cross-reference is a scripture that references another scripture. Had the Bible been written by one person or at one time this would still be amazing; however, the Bible was written by 40 authors over the span of 1500 years on 3 different continents.”
How awesome is that?!
That is amazing with that many cross references…geez..

To me, there is no doubt that God was behind the preservation of His word.
