A pattern that runs through scripture is that Jesus is always “In the Middle”. Is there a message here?
The answer is YES, and it is explained at the bottom of this page.

The Menorah

Jesus is the middle candle of the Jewish Menorah:

In the seven-branched candlestick Jesus is the middle candle. At the same height as other candles – Jesus is “the Son of Man”.

In the nine-branched candlestick, Jesus, as the middle candle, is “the servant candle” which lights all other candles. This candle is higher than the other candles where Jesus is the elevated “Son of God”.

The Cross

Jesus was crucified between two criminals. One on the right and one on the left. Three men, three choices, three destinations with Jesus in the middle. (John 19:18)

James and John

The mother of James and John entreated Jesus, (Matt 20:21) And He said to her, “What do you wish?” She said to Him, “Grant that these two sons of mine may sit, one on Your right hand and the other on the left, in Your kingdom.” Had Jesus agreed, they might have ended up in the place of the two thieves; one on His right and one on His left.

The Seven Hebrew Words of Genesis 1:1

The middle word in Genesis 1:1 is two Hebrew letters: the Aleph and the Tav, untranslated in scripture, totally ignored, it is the Hebrew version of the Greek letters Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End: אֵת

Jesus is the middle word (Alpha with Omega) in Genesis 1:1 (The first chapter of the first book of the Bible) which matches Revelation 1:8 (Alpha with Omega) (The first chapter of the last book of the Bible)
as spoken by the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

• Revelation 1:8 “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End,” says the Lord, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.^”
• Revelation 1:8 “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End (and everything in-between ~ bg),” says the Lord, “who is (now) and who was (beginning) and who is to come (end), the Almighty (of the middle).^”

The Bible:

The first letter in the first word of the first verse of the first chapter of the first book of the bible is “B” for Bereshit.
(Gen. 1:1)
The last letter of the last word of the last verse of the last chapter of the last book of the bible is “N” for Amen. (Rev. 22:21)

Jesus is the beginning of the Bible, the End of the Bible, and everything in between as The Word of God in the flesh.

The “B” and “N” spell “Ben” meaning “Son”. Jesus is the beginning of the Bible, the End of the Bible, and everything in between being the “Son” of God in the flesh.

The Crucifixion Week:

Jesus was crucified in the middle of the week on a Wednesday.

The Ark of the Covenant:

The presence of Jesus sits in the middle of two cherubim on the mercy seat where the blood of the Passover lamb was applied.

In the Tomb where they Laid Him:

When Jesus’ tomb was opened, two angels (cherubim) sat on his death bed, one at the head and one at the foot. In the middle, on the bed was where His blood would be. Jesus’ empty tomb was the fulfillment of the Ark of the Covenant. (The literal meaning of “Ark” is coffin)

The Intercessor:

Jesus is the mediator between God and Man.

• Isaiah 59:16 He saw that there was no man, And wondered that there was no intercessor; Therefore His own arm (Jesus) brought salvation for Him; And His own righteousness, it sustained Him.
• 1 Timothy 2:5 For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus,

In The Midst

Matthew 18:20 For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst (middle) of them.”

Between Heaven and Hell:

To Descend and Ascend:

Proverbs 30:4 Who has ascended into heaven, or descended? Who has gathered the wind in His fists? Who has bound the waters in a garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is His name, and what is His Son’s name, If you know?

Ephesians 4:9-10 (Now this, “He ascended”—what does it mean but that He also first descended into the lower parts of the earth? He who descended is also the One who ascended far above all the heavens, that He might fill all things.)

Colossians 1:20 and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross.

The Setting Stone, The Stone of Israel

Exodus 17:12 But Moses’ hands became heavy; so they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it. And Aaron and Hur supported his hands, one on one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.

• Moses, representing Jesus, is in the middle.

Genesis 49:24 But his (Joseph’s) bow remained in strength, And the arms of his hands were made strong By the hands of the Mighty God of Jacob (From there is the Shepherd, the Stone of Israel),

The Pillar Of Cloud Between the Egyptians and the Hebrews:

Exodus 14^:19 And the Angel of God, who went before the camp of Israel, moved and went behind them; and the pillar of cloud went from before them and stood behind them. ²⁰ So it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel. Thus it was a cloud and darkness to the one, and it gave light by night to the other, so that the one did not come near the other all that night.

The Pillar Of Cloud in the Middle of the Sea:

Exodus 14:²⁴ Now it came to pass, in the morning watch, that the Lord looked down upon the army of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and cloud, and He troubled (confused) the army of the Egyptians. ²⁵ And He took off (bound) their chariot wheels, so that they drove them with difficulty; and the Egyptians said, “Let us flee from the face of Israel, for the Lord fights for them against the Egyptians.”

²⁶ Then the Lord said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the sea, that the waters may come back upon the Egyptians, on their chariots, and on their horsemen.” ²⁷ And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and when the morning appeared, the sea returned to its full depth, while the Egyptians were fleeing into it. So the Lord overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea. ²⁸ Then the waters returned and covered the chariots, the horsemen, and all the army of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them. Not so much as one of them remained. ²⁹ But the children of Israel had walked on dry land in the midst of the sea (where Jesus is, looking down through the pillar v.24), and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.

The Godhead:

The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, with Jesus in the middle.

Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
Representing the Trinity: the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

When Abraham offered Isaac on the altar, Isaac was replaced with a Ram, symbolizing Jesus, the one and only promised Son. Therefore; Isaac represents the “Son”.

The Light:

Jesus is Light.

• John 8:12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”

Jesus became the visible manifestation of the invisible Godhead when He became flesh.

• Colossians 1:15
  He is the image (the visible manifestation) of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.

Jesus represents the visible part of Light which in physics is called the color spectrum.

Light is divided by its seven parts: all seven represent the Godhead.

The seven light waves are: radio waves (invisible), microwaves (invisible), infrared (invisible), the color spectrum (visible), ultraviolet light (invisible), X-rays (invisible) and gamma-rays (invisible).

Jesus, as the visible Light (the color spectrum), is in the middle of the seven parts.

Jesus is represented as a visible Rainbow.

The Rainbow:

A “Rainbow” in Hebrew means: “bow”: a covenant, and “rain”: the teacher messiah; where a Rainbow literally means “The Messiah’s Covenant”.

• Ezekiel 1:28 Like the appearance of a rainbow in a cloud on a rainy day, so was the appearance of the brightness all around it. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord.

• Revelation 10:1 I saw still another mighty angel coming down from heaven, clothed with a cloud. And a rainbow was on His head, His face was like the sun, and His feet like pillars of fire.
  
• Genesis 9:13 I set My rainbow (Jesus-covenant) in the cloud, and it shall be for the sign of the covenant between Me and the earth.

• The “Rainbow” is seen between the heavens and the earth. Jesus is the Rainbow in the middle.

The Seven Colors of the Visible Light Spectrum

Not only are there seven types of light waves, wherein the one in the middle of the seven is the one and only “visible” type of light wave, BUT …there are also seven colors within the visible color spectrum: They are (in order) like the rainbow:

1. Red
2. Orange
3. Yellow
4. GREEN
5. Blue
6. Indigo
7. Violet

The color in the middle of the color spectrum is Green:

• Revelation 4:3 And He who sat there was like a jasper and a sardius stone in appearance; and there was a rainbow around the throne, in appearance like an emerald (green).

• Green is symbolic for “Life”.

The Coat of Many Colors:

The Rainbow (Jesus, as God’s covenant with mankind) is between heaven and earth.

• A covering of many colors is associated with the many colors of the Rainbow.

Below: The Earth’s Coat of Many Colors.

Only someone of stature wears clothes of many colors as described in scripture:

• Gen 37:1 (Joseph dreams of Greatness) Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age. Also he made him a tunic of many colors.
  
• 2 Samuel 13:18 Now she (Tamar) had on a robe of many colors, for the king’s virgin daughters wore such apparel. And his (Amnon’s) servant put her out and bolted the door behind her. (After Amnon had forced her to his bed) ¹⁹ Then Tamar put ashes on her head, and tore her robe of many colors that was on her (she was no longer a virgin daughter), and laid her hand on her head and went away crying bitterly.
  
• Psalm 45:14 [The Glories of the Messiah (Jesus) and His Bride (Israel)] – She shall be brought to the King (Jesus) in robes of many colors;

You and Me:

“May the Lord watch between you and me when we are absent one from another.” Gen 31:49

The Abrahamic Covenant:

Genesis 15:17 And it came to pass, when the sun went down and it was dark, that behold, there appeared a smoking oven and a burning torch that passed between those pieces (a three-year-old heifer, a three-year-old female goat, a three-year-old ram, a turtledove, and a young pigeon. He cut them in two, down the middle, and placed each piece opposite the other).

Jesus is the burning torch that passed between the pieces. He created the Covenant with Abraham as the Lamb of God slain before the beginning of the world.

The Narrow Way:

Numbers 22:²⁴ Then the Angel of the Lord stood in a narrow path between the vineyards, with a wall on this side and a wall on that side. ²⁵ And when the donkey saw the Angel of the Lord, she pushed herself against the wall and crushed Balaam’s foot against the wall; so he struck her again. ²⁶ Then the Angel of the Lord went further, and stood in a narrow place where there was no way to turn either to the right hand or to the left. ²⁷ And when the donkey saw the Angel of the Lord, she lay down under Balaam; so Balaam’s anger was aroused, and he struck the donkey with his staff.

Jesus is the gate which is in the middle of the Narrow Way.

• Matthew 7: Enter by the narrow gate … narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.
• John 10:9 I am the door (gate of the sheepfold). If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.

Entrance to the Temple

II Chronicles 3:17 Then he set up the pillars before the temple, one on the right hand and the other on the left; he called the name of the one on the right hand Jachin (priest), and the name of the one on the left Boaz (redeemer).

The pillars were located one on the right side of the door to the temple and the other was located on the left side of the door.

Jesus is the entrance to the temple. Jesus is in the middle.

The Feast of Tabernacles:

Jesus refused to attend the Feast until the middle of the seven-day Feast of Tabernacles.

John 7:¹⁴ Now about the middle of the feast (of Tabernacles) Jesus went up into the temple and taught. Jesus was in the middle.

The New Jerusalem:

Jesus is in the middle of the sanctuary.

Ezekiel 48:⁹ “The district that you shall set apart for the Lord shall be twenty-five thousand cubits in length and ten thousand in width. ¹⁰ To these—to the priests—the holy district shall belong: on the north twenty-five thousand cubits in length, on the west ten thousand in width, on the east ten thousand in width, and on the south twenty-five thousand in length. The sanctuary of the Lord shall be in the center.

Jesus On His Throne:

I Kings 22:¹⁹ Then Micaiah said, “Therefore hear the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord sitting on His throne, and all the host of heaven standing by, on His right hand and on His left; (But Jesus was in the middle).

During The Tribulation:

Daniel 12:⁵ Then I, Daniel, looked; and there stood two others, one on this riverbank and the other on that riverbank. ⁶ And one said to the man clothed in linen, who was above (between) the waters of the river, “How long shall the fulfillment of these wonders be?”

(The river is the movement of many people over time. Jesus is watching from overhead and between the two on each riverbank.)

Between the Pillars:

Judges 16:²⁸ Then Samson called to the Lord, saying, “O Lord God, remember me, I pray! Strengthen me, I pray, just this once, O God, that I may with one blow take vengeance on the Philistines for my two eyes!” ²⁹ And Samson took hold of the two middle pillars which supported the temple, and he braced himself against them, one on his right and the other on his left.

Jesus was in the middle with Samson.

Between BC and AD:

The calculated timing for the Birth of Jesus is dated between Tishri 1 through Tishri 11. Tishri 1 is the first of the year. If Jesus was born on Tishri 1, He would be born exactly in the middle for the change from BC to AD.

Between the Sacred Sevens

There is a pattern of three-one-three in scripture: it is called “Passover”. Jesus was crucified on Passover. There are three Passovers: All three, which are hundreds of years apart, fall on a Wednesday, which is in the middle of the week. Jesus is the Passover Lamb which takes away the sins of the world. He taught in the temple for 3 days, He was crucified in 1 day, and was buried for 3 days, a total of seven days. Likewise, Abraham offered up Isaac as a Passover. He and Isaac traveled for 3 days to Mount Moriah, Isaac was offered as a sacrifice, albeit substituted with a Ram, for 1 day, and they returned home for 3 days, a total of seven days.

Jesus is in the middle of the Passover.

WHY IS JESUS IN THE MIDDLE?

One of the patterns which runs through scripture is that Jesus is always “In the Middle”. Is there a message here?

There are two Hebrew letters which spell the word “and”. “And” is a connector that ties two things together; ie: “this” and “that”, where the “and” is in the middle. Those two Hebrew letters are the “Alef” and the “Tav”, or in Greek the “Alpha” AND “Omega”.

The word “And” holds things together. “And” (the Alpha and Omega) is “Jesus”.

Colossians 1:17 He existed before all things, AND He holds everything together.
(Complete Jewish Bible) Jesus is in the middle.

Colossians 1:20 and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross.
