Last time I checked historians aren't even sure if Shakespeare was one of the writers involved in the writing in the KJV.

A series of committees worked on the translations that were put into the KJV, and neither Bacon's nor Shakespeare's name are among them.

Could be a coincidence, people pour over old works looking for things, much like people pour over Google Earth looking for things.

This assumes that Rosenkreutz was a real person, yet the first place he is mentioned is in The Chemical Wedding, which has been credited to Johannes Andreae, who later in life ridiculed alchemy.

Counting back from the end of the book using the chapter count provided in the original KJV Bible, we find that Psalms 46 is the 666th chapter from the end of the Bible.
Shakespeare encoded his name in Psalm 46. See the RED tekst.
1 God is our refuge and strength,
a very present help in trouble.
2 Therefore will not we fear,
though the earth be removed,
and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
3 though the waters thereof roar and be troubled,
though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof.
Selah.
4 There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God,
the holy place of the tabernacles of the Most High.
5 God is in the midst of her;
she shall not be moved:
God shall help her, and that right early.
6 The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved:
he uttered his voice, the earth melted.
7 The LORD of hosts is with us;
the God of Jacob is our refuge.
Selah.
8 Come, behold the works of the LORD,
what desolations he hath made in the earth.
9 He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth;
he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder;
he burneth the chariot in the fire.
10 Be still, and know that I am God:
I will be exalted among the heathen,
I will be exalted in the earth.
11 The LORD of hosts is with us;
the God of Jacob is our refuge.

You realize, of course, that "William Shakespeare" was really the notorious atheist Christopher Marlowe?
