His point is that the math being used to justify the Rapture is wholly fictitious, and that the Bible was not written as a complex mathematical formula. On this point, the Reverend and I will have to agree to disagree.

The Old Testament has 39 books, while the New Testament has 27 books. This makes a total of 66 books. That means the Old Testament accounts for 59% of the Christian Bible. In the King James version of the Bible, The Book of Revelations is placed as the final book in the New Testament and has 22 chapters.

27 (number of books in the New Testament) – 22 (number of chapters in Revelations) = 5

May is the 5th month of the year.

To determine the exact day of the month of Judgment Day is a lot easier: Judges, in the Old Testament, has 21 chapters.

May 21st

The total number of verses in the Bible = 31,102. That number, reversed, is 20,113
