THE PERFECT TEMPLE OF TRUTH

The importance of the fact that the Hebrew Canon contains twenty-two books may now be seen. The number of

books in the New Testament is 27, in the Old Testament 22. Adding these together, we have 49 (7x7), the perfect

number for the complete Canon. Moreover, of the 27 New Testament books there are seven catholic epistles, seven

Pauline epistles written before Acts 28, and seven Pauline epistles written after Acts 28. The Book of Revelation

also contains epistles sent to the seven churches in Asia. We have, therefore, the great basis of Law, Prophets,

Psalms, Gospels and Acts, supporting the seven columns of Epistles, crowned with the sevenfold cornice of the

Apocalypse - a temple of truth, complete, perfect and divine.
