The Cornerstone in the bible (Part II)

Continuing on the previous posting, although we understand that the original bible manuscripts did not have chapter or verses, and some versions of the bible may differ in total content, I found an additional interesting coincidence in reference to Psalm 118, at least as it applies to the King James Version of the bible (KJV).

I checked this information in Snopes.com, a well-known urban legends website and I found another claim that stated that there are actually 31,174 verses in the King James Version of the Bible.  Snopes.com goes on to say that because this is an even number, the actual center verse of the Bible could not be only one verse but instead would have to be both the 15,587th and 15,588th verses. This would then translate to the following verses in Psalm 118: “It is better to trust in the LORD Than to put confidence in man. It is better to trust in the LORD Than to put confidence in princes” (Psalm 118:8-9).

Coincidentally, the message does not change and actually it becomes even more emphasized . 
Nothing magical here just an incredible coincidence (maybe) with a monumental central message for us all.
