FIG. 01 every phrase and wording, and when the Jesus side passed the Christ side in books
One confession, worded three ways: Christ is our Sabbath, Jesus is our Sabbath, Jesus is the Sabbath. Eight such phrases, in books and in search.
Not cross-reference data. This page counts words, not references: how often a phrase appears in books (Google Books, 1800–2022) and how often people search for it (Google Trends, monthly since 2004).
Books. Figures are shares of all phrases that length, so they are tiny. Watch the shape and which wording is on top.
Search. Google gives a score out of 100, and anything too rare comes back as zero, so the page counts the months a phrase showed up at all. Each phrase was looked up on its own, so follow one phrase over time rather than comparing two phrases' heights.
Empty is not zero. For three phrases Google has nothing to report at all. The page says so where it happens.
An example. Take Sabbath. In books, Christ is our Sabbath has been the commoner wording since the 1820s and still is in 2022, though the Jesus wordings have closed much of the gap since 2000. In search it is the other way round: almost nobody types the Christ wording, while Jesus is the Sabbath first appears in 2008 and has shown up in most months of the year since 2022. The same idea, worded one way in print and another way in a search box.
And a bar, read out loud. If the 2019 bar stands at 3, that phrase showed up in Google's figures in three months of 2019 and was too rare to report in the other nine.
