46 Significant Biblical Numbers
Over a time span of 1,600 years, and with about 44 different writers contributing to its contents, the written Word of God came into existence. Yet, in spite of various cultures, countries and centuries, "The Book" has a harmony, such as no other piece of literature ever penned. The reason is that it is not a book of human origins, but its Author is God and numbers have been assigned hidden spiritual meanings.
