Number 46 and the Temple of God
The human genome consist of 46 chromosomes. Each cell normally contains 23 pairs of chromosomes, for a total of 46. Twenty-two of these pairs, called autosomes, look the same in both males and females. The 23rd pair, the sex chromosomes, differ between males and females.
Eve was the first woman and the "mother of all living". Referring to Eve, starting from where Adam spake:
Genesis 2:23-24 "... This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh." [Count: 46 words]
In Genesis 3, Eve was deceived by the Devil. As a result, man was cut off from God and death reigned over mankind. Count the number of words the Devil spoke to Eve, in the language of the King James Bible:
Genesis 3:1-5 "Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?... Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil." [Count: 46 words]
In Genesis 11, the whole earth was of one language and one speech. There is a very important detail in this passage:
Genesis 11:1-4 "Go to, let us make brick, and burn them throughly... Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth." [Count: 46 words]
Those were the words spoken by the people in a city called 'Babel'. Count: exactly 46 words. BTW, the notice the word "brick" in this passage. Bricks are literally stones made with hands. In Acts 7:48, we read that God would not dwell in temples made with hands.
In Exodus 26:15-22, Moses was given the instruction to construct the tabernacle of God while the children of Israel was still in the wilderness. Count the number of boards for the tabernacle:
"And thou shalt make boards for the tabernacle of shittim wood standing up... And thou shalt make the boards for the tabernacle, twenty boards on the south side southward... And for the second side of the tabernacle on the north side there shall be twenty boards... And for the sides of the tabernacle westward thou shalt make six boards."
Total: 20 + 20 + 6 = 46 boards
In 1 Kings 7:15-16, king Solomon made two identical pillars in the temple for God - Jachin and Boaz. Count the height of each pillar:
"For he cast two pillars of brass, of eighteen cubits high apiece: and a line of twelve cubits did compass either of them about. And he made two chapiters of molten brass, to set upon the tops of the pillars: the height of the one chapiter was five cubits, and the height of the other chapiter was five cubits:"
Number of pillars: 2
Height of each pillar: 18 + 5 = 23
Total: 2 x 23 = 46 cubits
John 2:19-21 "Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. Then said the Jews, forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days? But he spake of the temple of his body."
Jesus Christ is the "Son of God" (capitalized 'S'). This phrase is found in exactly 46 verses in the King James Bible. Likewise, Jesus Christ is also "the word of God". This phrase occurs exactly 46 times in the King James Bible. The body of Christ is made up of every born again Bible believers, as a bride adorned for her husband. Watch this:
1 Peter 3:7 "Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel..."
In Genesis 2:23-24, Adam spoke exactly 46 words concerning Eve, his wife. In 1 Peter 3:7, the Bible connects the word "weak" to "wife". Not coincidentally, the word "weak" is found exactly 46 times in the King James Bible! Our vessels (46-chromosomes body) are the temple of God, and the Spirit of God dwelleth in us! Also, a man's 46-chromosomes body becomes the temple of God when he comes to repentance and is born again by the Spirit of God. Interestingly, the word "repent" is found exactly 46 times!
BTW, this phrase "the devil" is also found exactly 46 times in the King James Bible. Not coincidentally, the phrase "the beast" (Antichrist) is also found in exactly 46 verses. Standing in between a man and repentance is the word "pride", and this word is also found in exactly 46 verses in the King James Bible. Pride is the antithesis of "repent" (46x in KJV) and the reason why a man won't repent. Referring to the Leviathan: "His scales are his PRIDE... he is a king over all the children of PRIDE" (Job 41:15-34). In this, the Bible is giving us the connections:
'scales' = 'pride';
'children of pride' = children of 'scales'.
Proverbs 16:18 calls "pride" an "haughty spirit", therefore "children of pride" is a spiritual kingdom on earth (the fourth kingdom), a proud nation, a manner of people whose king is a dragon (Satan). "His scales are his pride..." i.e. this nation of people is the covering of the dragon, they are the "body of sin" (Romans 6:6) by which Satan and his kingdom are externalized to the world. BTW, Romans is the 6th book of the New Testament, and so Romans 6:6 bears the pattern of the number '666'.
Contrast this to the fine linen, clean and white, which is the righteousness of saints in Revelation 19:8. The scales on the great red dragon's body is the covering of every member in the body of sin, which is also made up of 46 chromosomes. Conversely, the covering of righteousness in every born again believer, the body of Christ, is the interface by which the kingdom of God is externalized to the world.
