EVERY BOOK IS IN BALANCE.  NO BOOK CAN BE ADDED OR SUBTRACTED FROM THE NT
WITHOUT DESTROYING ALL OF THE ABOVE DESIGN ELEMENTS IN THE ORIGINAL TEXT.

[Although much of this design was uncovered by Ernest L. Martin and others,
 there are a seemingly endless number of patterns hidden in the sequences
 of the books of the Hebrew and Greek Scriptures, far more than we can show
 in a chart. THAT Bible can only be fully "seen" in multiple dimensions.]

Documentation and more about how the Bible was designed, written, and
canonized is in our new book, "THE SECRET HISTORY OF THE BIBLE."
