King James Bible 400th Year Anniversary Did Shakespeare Have A Hand In It?

An author, during research for a novel, believes there is undeniable proof that Shakespeare has left his signature within the holy text of the King James Bible 400 years ago.

Two of the most important influences on the English language were the King James Version of the Bible and the plays of William Shakespeare.
These works helped standardize the language and make it what it is today.
Many Shakespearean scholars have claimed for decades that there is ‘proof’ that Shakespeare left his signature within the King James Bible, in the biblical text of Psalm 46 by the use of counting 46 words from the beginning of the chapter, one comes to the word "shake." Discounting the word Selah (the Hebrew equivalent to ‘Amen’), we find the same thing at the end of the chapter. The word "spear" is 46 words from the end of the chapter. Remarkably, Shakespeare was 46 in 1610 when the Bible was first published. This hidden message has been discounted by critics as purely coincidental.

Over the last few decades, many more ‘coincidences’ have surfaced, and one in particular has raised the question of a deeper Shakespearean connection to the biblical text of ‘Psalm 46’ relating to the four earthly elements Earth, Wind, Fire and Air.

Counting 20 words from the top of the Psalm, one would get ‘Earth’, then counting 17 more words we get ‘Wind’. If we similarly count 37 words (20+17=37) from the bottom, we get ‘Fire’, but where one would have expected the last element ‘Air’ at word 20, we get instead, the word ‘will’.

So, through a series of ‘coincidental’ word counting strategies, using the key number of 46 we get ‘shake-spear’, and then via word counting using the indexes of 20 and 37, we get the word ‘will’.

These seemingly random sets of word counting methodologies returning the name of the English bard would now throw ‘coincidence’ out the door.

Kenric McKenzie, through historical research for his semi-fictional novel, investigates the ‘Shakespeare Authorship issue’, including the Shakespearean connection to the King James Bible.
