John 2:20 KJV
Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?

The identity of the serpent or the devil is encoded in the King James bible. The serpent spoke exactly 46 words to Eve in the garden.

Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea1, hath2 God3 said,4 Ye5 shall6 not7 eat8 of9 every10 tree11 of12 the13 garden14?

[2] And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:

[3] But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.

[4] And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye15 shall16 not17 surely18 die19:

[5] For20 God21 doth22 know23 that24 in25 the26 day27 ye28 eat29 thereof30, then31 your32 eyes33 shall34 be35 opened36, and37 ye38 shall39 be40 as41 gods42, knowing43 good44 and45 evil46.
