"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." (St. Matthew 23:35 KJV)

"From the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias, which perished between the altar and the temple: verily I say unto you, It shall be required of this generation." (St. Luke 11:51 KJV)

• Matthew 23:35 & Luke 11:51
• The blood of Abel to Zacharias
• Similar to Genesis (the first book in the Hebrew canon) to 2 Chronicles (the last book in the Hebrew canon)
• Going from “A” to “Z”
• Similar to “Alpha” to “Omega” (Rev. 1:8, 11, 21:6, 22:13)
• Which means first and last (Is. 44:6, 48:12; Rev. 1:11, 17, 2:8, 22:13)
• But notice the A to Z is the English alphabet. Greek was the growth language for the Bible, but Elizabethan English would be the destination language for the Bible.
• The Authorized King James Version was completed in 1611. Now check this out: “Abel” is found exactly 16 times in the Bible and “Zacharias” is found exactly 11 times!
