Kat,
Belated thanks, for putting this information together; searching for a Pearl and finding it is great.
Hope this is of interest to some members, it is worth knowing this bit of history.

hi george,
i found this thread of great interest. it still just blows my mind that NOTHING in the Scriptures, not even the number of books in the bible, is of any coincidence. with God there is no such thing as coincidence. our Father is so awesome that i often find myself just shaking my head in wonderment. another belated thanks to kat for writing it all out for us.

Hi Folks,
Jesus' words support the first/last order of the OT,
* "That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar" (Matt 23.35)
1st 'righteous' person slayed in OT, Abel (Genesis) to last 'righteous' person slayed in OT, Zacharias (2 Chronicles)
* "And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him." (Gen 4:8)
* "And the Spirit of God came upon Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest, which stood above the people, and said unto them, Thus saith God, Why transgress ye the commandments of the LORD, that ye cannot prosper? because ye have forsaken the LORD, he hath also forsaken you. And they conspired against him, and stoned him with stones at the commandment of the king in the court of the house of the LORD" (2 Chr 24:20,21)
All the other 'righteous' ones slain are contained in the scriptures between Genesis and 2 Chronicles when the books are in their 'proper order'.
Just a small note for yous.
Grace and peace to you

Hi Nelson,
That is a great find, thanks.
These were terrible punishments (Judgement) pronounced on israel; but even here we see another promise of the wicked being saved.
Mat 23: 33-39 (CLV)
33 Serpents! Progeny of vipers! How may you be fleeing from the judging of Gehenna?
34 Therefore, lo! I am dispatching to you prophets and wise men and scribes. Of them, some you will be killing and crucifying, and of them, some you will be scourging in your synagogues and persecuting from city to city,
35 so that on you should be coming all the just blood shed on the earth, from the blood of just Abel until the blood of Zechariah, son of Berechiah, whom you murder between the temple and the altar."
36 Verily, I am saying to you: All these things will be arriving on this generation."
37 Jerusalem! Jerusalem! who art killing the prophets and pelting with stones those who have been dispatched to her! How many times do I want to assemble your children in the manner a hen is assembling her brood under her wings-and you will not!"
38 Lo! left is your house to you desolate.
39 For I am saying to you: You may by no means be perceiving Me henceforth, till you should be saying, 'Blessed is He Who is coming in the name of the Lord!"
