I've tried posting this on religious channels ... but so far nobody has sussed its significance:
(Maybe a mathematician who is probably an atheist will comprehend it?)

I removed from the Greek text of Romans 1, 1-17 all direct references to Jesus and Christianity (because I thought that they had been interpolated into an original, non Christian text). I was left with a text of exactly 1000 letters ... neatly divided into 4 sections each of 51 words. In this text there were 8 uses of the word God. In each instance the first letter of the word God, or the first letter of its definite article when it had one, was an even number of letters from the beginning of the text. When the positions of these first letters were added together and divided by 8 the result was the position in the text of the first letter of the Greek word for "the now", "the present".

I wonder what the statistical odds are against something like this being posted on a maths video soon after the video was uploaded? He he.
