SHAKESPEARE MAGIC
   
 

Not exactly psychic, but pretty weird!

Consider these facts:

  • William Shakespeare is believed to have been born on 23rd April 1564.
  • A memorial at Holy Trinity Church, Stratford-upon-Avon, records that he died on 23rd April 1616.
  • Shakespeare's plays were first performed in 1588, when Shakespeare was 23.
  • The First Folio of Shakespeare's works was published in 1623.
  • Now 23 + 23 = 46
  • The King James Bible was first published in 1611, when Shakespeare was 46.
  • "WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE" is an anagram of "HERE WAS I, LIKE A PSALM".
Now try this:
  • Obtain a King James (Authorized Version) Bible, and turn to PSALM 46.
  • Write down the 46th word from the beginning.
  • Write down the 46th word from the end.

Amazed? You should be!
