Jesus + Christ 980x in the First 7 Books (PURE)

Summary

980 is the number of times that Jesus(‘) [PURE] is mentioned in the King James Bible.

So it’s beyond incredible to see that same result show up for Jesus + Christ in the first 7 books of the New Testament.

In the First 7 Books of the NT (Mat-1Cor)

Jesus(‘) = 757x (Pure)
Christ = 223x (Pure)

Total: (757 + 223) = 980x = 70×7 + 70×7 mentions of Jesus* + Christ in the first 7 books of the New Testament, excluding the 1 antimention of Jesus found in Acts 7:45 (which is a reference to Joshua son of Nun)

Since there are two names (Jesus & Christ), there are (980/2) = 490 = 70×7 avg. mentions of Jesus & Christ in the first 7 books of the King James Bible.

Seventy times seven is the equation that Jesus gives Peter after he asked how many times to forgive a brother. (See Matthew 18:21-22)

Coherence

Our 21st-century English minds might wonder if there is too much of a logical break to consider Jesus’ (with the apostrophe) but not Christ’s.

However, a few major points resolve this doubt.

Firstly, “Christ’s” has a different pronunciation than Christ. But Jesus’ and Jesus both share the exact same pronunciation. This in itself would be logically sound according to the Bible itself:

So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Romans 10:17

Secondly, “Christ’s” has 1 extra letter, whereas Jesus’  does not have an extra letter. In fact, it was impossible to tell apart standard vs possessive mentions of Jesus vs Jesus’ back in 1611- and for 151 years after that- since apostrophes were not used in the KJB until 1762.

That extra letter ‘s‘ in “Christ’s” also changes a few things such as alphanumeric values and overall letter counts.

Thirdly, we must consider that this is not the only pattern revolving around Jesus + Christ. There are many other patterns that intersect, including the parallel pattern of Jesus + Christ (Raw, no possessive mentions) in these same 7 books, which produce 973 mentions, equivalent to how many times Jesus (Raw, excluding possessive) shows up in the Bible, as well as 70×7 mentions (Raw) of Jesus(‘) + Christ(‘s) in the first 7 epistles, as well as the simple fact that there are 77 mentions of Jesus Christ(‘s) + Christ Jesus(‘).

Last, but not least, we should recognize that this pattern is not meant to stand on its own, but to simply bear witness to and support its overarching pattern: Jesus* = 980 mentions (Pure), or 70×7 + 70×7 in the Bible. 757 of those 980 mentions of Jesus* are here in the first seven books, and when we simply add those mentions together with Christ, the total sum yields 980x.

A skeptic may dismiss this as just another coincidence, but at what point do all these coincidences become undeniable proof of intentional design?
