The ultimate find in scripture, for me, is PROOF that God's word cannot be a mere result of men writing in some kind of 'spiritual stupor', as the world would have us believe. Our scripture is God-breathed - unattainable by man unless He gives it to us. We did not make this up! Here's an example I ran across last night.
The Psalm 119 is the longest chapter in the bible, I believe. 176 verses divided by 22 groups (one for each Hebrew letter) of 8 verses. If you use e-sword, flip it over to the Hebrew and take a gander. The first letter of each line corresponds to that Hebrew letter for that group. I'd paste in an example but the blog would freak out over Hebrew characters.
The book of Revelation, on the other hand, is composed of 22 chapters - one for each Hebrew letter represented in Psalm 119. Since Revelation ch4 is one of my favorites, because it contains the 'rapture' verse... I decided to test a hunch. Let's look at a verse from Revelation ch4 and Psalm 119 in the 4th group of 8 verses:
Rev 4:1
(1) After these things I saw. And behold, a door being opened in Heaven! And I heard the first voice as a trumpet speaking with me, saying, Come up here, and I will show you what needs to happen after these things.
Psa 119:28
(28) My soul drops with grief; Lift me up according to Your Word.
This is going to turn into quite a study. We do serve a God of coincidences.
