'It was revealed to Daniel that the prophecies concerning the last times should be closed up and sealed until the time of the end: But then the wise should understand, and knowledge should be increased (Daniel 12:4,9,10). And therefore the longer they have continued in obscurity, the more hopes there are that the time is at hand in which they are to be made manifest.
If they are never to be understood, to what end did God reveal them?
Certainly he did it for the edification of the church. And if so then it is certain that the church shall at length attain to the understandings thereof. I mean not all that call themselves Christians, but a remnant, a few scattered persons which God hath chosen, such as without being led by interest, education, or human authorities, can set themselves sincerely and earnestly to search after truth. For Daniel hath said that the wise shall understand, so he said also that none of the wicked shall understand' - Sir Isaac Newton (1642-1727)
For Philo (20BC to 54AD), a bible passage was like a human being. It had a body (i.e. a literal meaning) and a soul (an allegorical meaning). He accepted the literal meaning of many scriptures (e.g. the Mosaic Law) but he also believed that only the allegorical method could reveal the true inner meaning that God had encoded in them. Further Philo believed that hidden meaning lay behind numbers and names. More ingeniously, he also found it by playing with the many possible meanings of the same word and by regrouping the words of a biblical passage - (Introduction to Biblical Interpretation: Klein Blomberg and Hubbard)
Origen, the early church father (185 - 254 AD) contended that God has inspired the original biblical writer to incorporate the allegorical meaning into his writing. thus what Origen consider the highest meaning of scripture, its deaper spiritual truth, was already implicit in scripture, not something invented by the interpreter. In fact he believed that every scripture had a 3 fold meaning (literal, moral and allegorical) (Klein, Blomberg and Hubbard).
Augustine of Denmark (13th century AD) penned the following verse in Latin which describes the 4 possible senses of scripture. It was popular amonst latin speaking monks in Medieval times...
The Letter speaks of deeds
Allegory to the faith
The Moral how to act
Anagogy (prophetic meaning) of our destiny (Catechism of the Catholic
Church).

credas allegoria

[C22] Research ideas to develop the code
Everything that Jesus said to the crowds was in an illustration. Indeed without an illustration he would not speak to the crowds:
33
So with many illustrations of that sort he would speak the
word to them, as far as they were able to listen.
34
Indeed, without an
illustration he would not speak to them, but privately to his disciples he would
explain all things (Mark 4).
So Jesus decoded his symbolic parables for his disciples only, not for the public at large. By speaking symbolically, those who did not want to believe that he was God’s son, could write off his speech as meaningless ramblings about farm animals and horticulture. They would therefore never get to know God’s plans for men. They would therefore never be in a position to frustrate them. For the ones who do not want to believe in God, are God’s and mankind’s and their own enemies. For we men and women are designed in such a way that our beliefs betray our true motivations. After 911, 89% of Pakistani Muslims believed that Muslims were not responsible for the Twin Towers Tragedy. This design feature of mankind is not unique to Pakistanis. Most of us believe what we want to believe rather than the truth. For men, and even more so women, much prefer a convenient lie to an inconvenient truth.
So those of us who do not believe in God, do not want to believe in him because they do not want God to exist. They do not want him to exist, because if he does exist then they fear that they will have to serve him and obey him, rather than serving and obeying their own desires. They do not know that God is a kinder master to them than their own desires are. Dear reader, do not make this mistake. God gave you your desires to enjoy them whilst controlling them! He did not give you them to replace him!
Even if all of your experience of people who have ever had power over you is bad, even if everyone of them has abused you, and even if everyone you have ever loved has abused you, there is yet in existence a God who behaves just as his son did whilst he was on earth. He does not abuse his power, and does not abuse your love. His name is Jehovah, it is he who is the Father of Jesus. But he does allow Satan to abuse you, your love, his power and anything else he gets his hands on. For Jesus was described by Paul with reference to God as:
3 He is the reflection of [his] glory and the exact representation of his very being (Hebrews 1).
These people who do not believe are, in the great finesse of our God, unwittingly, their own enemies. Because God is their friend and means of life and salvation. Without him they have no future. They are choosing not to believe in their own future.
But they are free to choose such a course if they wish, and most people do so choose. So it is because mankind has one main enemy, a lying murderer, Satan, and it is because this fraud has many unwitting followers, that God's book, the bible is written in a code. Satan has been trying to persuade God to wipe out the whole human race for nearly 6,000 years in order to justify his murderous act on Eve. He is trying to cheat us out of our inheritance, which is to be ageless humans on earth in the Kingdom of God after Armageddon, and to be angels in heaven and eventually to be God's ourselves, just like our Father. Beloved reader, do not be fooled by your physical weakness, the family you come from is a family of Gods, and like begets like. But it is because we are always at war in this system that coded messages are used. We are at war even when the world is at peace:
23 But I behold in my members another law warring against the law of my mind and leading me captive to sin's law that is in my members (Romans 7).
Our mind is at war with our body, as regards sin. God has created us this way to teach us about sin.
In the Second World War, the Germans and the British both used codes. The British cracked the German code using the enigma computer in Bletchley (according to the movies this was as a result of an American submarine crew which stole a German code machine from a U boat). There is a marvelous and tragic story of the great wisdom of Winston Churchill in relation to this. The British decoded a German message that they were going to completely carpet bomb the city of Coventry on a certain day and destroy it. Winston then had to decide whether to save the people of Coventry, by evacuating them or not. The problem with evacuating Coventry was that the Germans had spies, and would have found out that Coventry was evacuated and then deduced that the British had cracked their code.
Churchill therefore sacrificed the whole town of Coventry, in order to keep this secret undiscovered. Such was the value that he attached to knowing the Enigma Code. He knew that if he confined his actions resulting from the breaking of the Code to ones which would not reveal to the Germans that the British had cracked it, then he could continue to know their entire strategy possibly right to the end of the war! Such knowledge was of greater value to Britain than Coventry. Greater value in terms of saving lives (though not those of the citizens of Coventry) and in terms of shortening and winning the war, which amounted to the same thing.
Likewise God has encoded information in the bible for the purpose of saving our lives, it is for our protection. For God is not going to lose in this battle that he is having with his rebellious son Satan. But we are all caught up in this war. For war is the inevitable result of the tolerance of evil or of bad. History shows us this.
God would win this war whether the bible was in a code or not and whether Jesus just blurted out the whole plan for salvation verbatim or not. But God wishes to teach us good from bad with the minimum possible loss of life and damage to our souls. The degree of damage and death that we do experience as a race is the measure of the difficulty he has in teaching us and we have in learning this lesson. We would be the losers if this book was not in a code.
This code needs to be appealing to God’s friends and revolting to his enemies. Then his friends will be attracted to it and hopefully spend enough time looking at it to find out that it is in a code and then will be sufficiently motivated to crack the code and then pass on the information only to his friends. Whilst his enemies on the other hand will find the whole thing so revolting and distasteful that they will not study the information hard enough to even realise that it is in a code. Furthermore when they are told that it is in a code, they still will not believe it!
Well, since the distinction between God’s friends and enemies is their love or hate for him and his friends, it is obvious that the information that he sends out should be all about him and his friends, because this is the only sort of information which will have a different effect on the two groups. Also this information should look innocuous and intensely boring to his enemies, and be full of praises upon praises of him to drive off the enemies and pull in the friends.
God has done this with the bible. All of the praise in the bible is not because God has a big ego and needs a whole lot of praise which he effectively wrote himself!!! It is to sort the sheep from the goats. He has given to everybody a book about his past dealings with his friends, who lived thousands of years ago, who had many camels and lived in tents and had children and basically did the sort of things that everybody else did back then. This is of no great consequence to the enemies of God. It just looks like an out of date soap opera, written by someone who they do not like. Of what interest to a 20th or 21st century currency speculator is it that Esau lost his birthright to Jacob for a bowl of soup, or that he crossed the Jabbok with 200 female sheep and 20 rams? This sort of information is hardly the sort of thing that would come up on his Reuters screen.
But hidden in amongst all of the banal, mundane and everyday tribulations of these friends of God, is the whole of his military plan for saving mankind from sin and death and retaking the earth from Satan. The plan for men to regain the birthright that Adam lost, namely everlasting human and angelic life.
22 He is revealing the deep things and the concealed things, knowing what is in the darkness; and with him the light does dwell (Daniel 2).
Logically, if we examine God's Modus Operandi with men, we see that he hides from us. We see that he hides what he is doing from us. Nobody has seen him, and who really knows what he is up to? So given that he inspired the bible:
16 All Scripture is inspired of God (2 Timothy 3).
It should be no great surprise to anyone that the bible too contains hidden information, since it was ghost written by a hidden God. In other words it is written in a code. This is not a new idea. Sir Isaac Newton believed the same to be true, but was unable to discover the code. He could see gravity with his mind, and he knew God well enough to see that the bible was in a code, but he could not himself decode it. He died trying to work out the date of Armageddon. He failed not because he lacked faith and not because he lacked wisdom or intellectual capability, for he had them all in abundance. He failed because it was not God's time in the late 17th and early 18th centuries for this to take place. So instead the true God rewarded one of the most spiritual men of the last millennium with the code of his physical universe. For a spiritual man sees things with his mind, with his power of reason, things that he cannot detect with his senses. It is this capability that separates us from the animals. It is this capability that the reader will need to sharpen as he or she reads this website/book.
Here are two typical sections of the Old Testament:
11 Polish the arrows. Fill the circular shields, Oh men.
Jehovah has aroused the spirit of the kings of the Medes, because it is against
Babylon that his idea is, in order to bring her to ruin. For it is the vengeance
of Jehovah, the vengeance for his temple.
12 Against the walls of Babylon lift up a
signal. Make strong the watch. Post the watchmen. Make ready those lying in
Ambush. For Jehovah has both formed the idea and will certainly do what he has
spoken against the inhabitants of Babylon.
13 Oh woman residing on abounding
waters, abundant in treasures, your end has come, the measure of your profit
making (Jeremiah 51).
13 For I will tread as my
[bow] Judah. The bow I will fill with
Ephraim, and I will awaken your sons, Oh Zion, against your sons, Oh Greece, and I will make
you as the sword of a mighty man.
14 And over them Jehovah himself will be seen, and his arrow will certainly go forth just like
lightning. And on the horn the Sovereign Lord Jehovah himself will blow, and he will certainly go
with the windstorms of the south (Zechariah 9).
These passages are written in colourful, poetic, symbolic language. Here is a typical section of the New Testament:
4 Therefore we were buried with him through our baptism into
his death, in order that, just as Christ was raised up from the dead through the
glory of the father, we should likewise walk in a newness of life.
5 For if we
have become united with him in the likeness of his death, we shall also be
[united with him in the likeness] of his resurrection (Romans 6).
This passage is written in symbolic, logically contorted language. Most people who read the bible, believe that the reason it is hard to understand is that 2,000 years ago people wrote and spoke in this complicated symbolic or logically contorted way. But the truth is that they did not. Here is a typical passage from Josephus' book on the history of the Jews. He was a Jewish general born ten or twenty years after Jesus:
But as for the richer sort, it proved all one to them whether they stayed in the city or attempted to get out of it, for they were equally destroyed in both cases. For every such person was put to death under this pretense, that they were going to desert - but in reality that the robbers might get what they had. The madness of the seditious did also increase together with their famine, and both those miseries were every day inflamed more and more. For there was no corn which anywhere appeared publicly, but the robbers came running into, and searched men’s private houses. And then if they found any, they tormented them, because they had denied they had any. And if they found none, they tormented them worse, because they supposed they had more carefully concealed it. The indication they made use of whether they had any or not, was taken from the bodies of these miserable wretches. Which, if they were in good case, they supposed were in no want at all of food. But if they were wasted away, they walked off without searching any farther.
As you can see, it reads just like a modern History book. Likewise if one reads Latin or Greek historical works from the same period (which are mainly about wars) they read just like a history book might read today. Another good example are the books of I and II Maccabees. These describe the plight of the Jews starting from around 170 BC. They just read like normal history books. But the bible is written in a different way to any other book of its time or of any time. Even in the literal meaning of the book, it is hard to deduce precisely what is being said. One needs to think hard, one needs to think logically and think in abstract symbolic terms, just to understand the literal meaning. In other words even the literal meaning is somewhat coded. But there is another reason why this book is written so strangely, and it is that the bible is written in a symbolic, numeric and cryptic code. It is in fact a 4 dimensional book including the literal meaning. This is why sections of it are very strangely written. It is because there is more to this book than the literal meaning. The accounts have to work in the symbolically coded and numerically coded meanings too, which effects the way in which they are written literally. Basically the literal accounts look a bit weird because the words also form symbolic accounts.
Here are 6 further reasons that we can see to suppose that the bible is written in a code:
Why would such a clever God write such a stupid book?
Spirituality is defined as seeing with the mind things
which are undetectable to the senses. The bible is unarguably a spiritual
book from God. It is therefore written in a spiritual way. So it's written
in such a way that its true meaning is not visible with the eye but is
detectable only with the power of reason, the eyes of the mind. The literal
meaning is clearly visible with the eye. It therefore has a further meaning
which is invisible and is not the literal meaning. So this further meaning
is a coded meaning. It is written in a spiritual code, which is a visible
vehicle for an invisible meaning.
Every word that Jesus spoke publicly was symbolic:
The bible itself says that it is written in a code!
Paul describes one particular account in Genesis 16 as being a symbolic drama.
6. Matthew 1:23 shows that Isaiah 7:14 is in a code
We now investigate each of these 5 in more detail.
'God is a comedian playing to an audience too afraid to laugh.' -Voltaire
We are looking at the whole book as being effectively written by one person, because Paul tells us that it was:
1
6 All Scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight, for disciplining in righteousness (2 Timothy 3).And Peter tells us:
21 For prophecy was at no time brought by man's will, but men spoke from God as they were borne along by holy spirit (2 Peter 1).
If you truly believe that God, whilst not being the physical author of the book, has inspired every bible writer to express his story in the writer’s own literary style, and in his own phraseology, even in the way he wanted to say it but in God’s words. Then given this, there is a question that is begging to be asked, and it is this:
How could the creator of the perfect universe, which is a gigantic and inordinately intricate example of hyper intelligence, perfection and complete understanding wisdom and control, write or inspire to be written such a daft book?
Or: Why would such a clever guy write such a stupid book?
How can the true God, the grand creator of the great works that Newton and Einstein could barely scratch into the surface of be an order of magnitude worse than Steven Spielberg when it comes to telling a story?
The reader might think that asking this question is an insult to God, or even a blasphemy. We would argue that not asking this question is the real insult, an insult that all mankind has been repeating every day for the past 2000 years. Because by not asking this question you are saying that you would expect God to inspire such a badly written book (in the literal meaning). You are saying that you are not surprised that he has written such a book. Which is saying that you do not think he is capable of telling a story properly. Whereas the more logical and more respectful explanation for the peculiar way in which the bible is written, is that just as Newton and Einstein knew that they were only scratching at the surface of the beauty and perfection of God’s universe, so the seeker of bible truth knows that he is only scratching at the surface of the beauty and perfection of God’s holy book. And this surface is the literal meaning of the book.
For the bible in the literal meaning, the surface itself, is written in an ambiguous, repetitive manner and is full of absolutely crucial omissions, and laden with really unnecessary and trivial detail.
One has to ask rhetorically:
Is God unable to properly focus on the key points in bible stories?
Is he the first person to write a history book with none of the important dates in it?
Why does he keep repeating himself in almost every account?
Does a person who can create hundreds of languages from nothing in one instant of time and simultaneously teach them to every living human in that very instant as described in the account of Babel in Genesis11:
1
Now all the earth continued to be of one language and of one
set of words.…
5 And Jehovah proceeded to go down to see the city and the
tower that the sons of men had built.
6 After that Jehovah said: Look! They are
one people and there is one language for them all, and this is what they start
to do. Why, now there is nothing that they may have in mind to do that will be
unattainable for them.
7 Come now! Let us go down and there confuse their language
that they may not listen to one another's language.
8 Accordingly Jehovah
scattered them from there over all the surface of the earth, and they gradually
left off building the city.
9 That is why its name was called Babel, because there Jehovah
had confused the language of all the earth, and Jehovah had scattered them from
there over all the surface of the earth
(Genesis 11).
Does this person have a problem in telling a simple story in just one language when he has all the time in the world to tell it?
Consider please the following masterpieces:
12 However, they found out of the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead four hundred girls, virgins, that had not had intercourse with a man by lying with a male (Judges 21).
One wonders how else they could lose their virginity?
1 Now Joshua was old, being advanced in years. So Jehovah said to him: You yourself have grown old and have advanced in years (Joshua 13).
What an astute observation!
25 They stoned them with stones!! (Joshua 7)
8 Abraham's life that he lived!! (Genesis 25) Well what else could he have done with it?
8 Then Abraham expired and died! (Genesis 25)
49 The alien resident who is residing as an Alien?? (Exodus 12)
Why in Jeremiah chapter 41 is Ishmael the son of Nethaniah the son of Elishama, described as: Ishmael the son of Nethaniah 11 times and as plain old Ishmael 6 times in the same account, when there is no other Ishmael in the account? Why does the holy spirit have to tell us the same thing 11 times in one chapter of the bible? Why did mankind have to carry all this unnecessary repetitive information around for 2500 years? How could the God of recycling whose creation, nature, wastes absolutely nothing on this planet, waste all those holy words? Something is not right here!
There are four accounts in Matthew 14, Mark 6, Luke 9 & John 6 of the feeding of the 5,000. Why? Why was this particular account repeated 4 times, when the account of the man who had been lame for 38 years at the pool in Bethzatha in John 5 to whom Jesus said:
8 Get up, pick up your bed and walk (John 5).
is only mentioned once in the holy book? How can a perfect God be so inconsistent?
4 The Rock, perfect is his activity, For all his ways are justice (Deuteronomy 32).
How about this one:
1
In the twenty-seventh year of Jeroboam the king of Israel,
Azariah the son of Amaziah the king of Judah became king.
2 Sixteen years old he
happened to be when he began to reign, and
for fifty-two years he reigned in Jerusalem. And his
mother's name was Jecoliah of Jerusalem
(2 Kings 15).
Great, so we get to know his mother’s name! But there was not a man alive for a long time until 1999 who knew when the 27th year of Jeroboam II actually was. It is extremely difficult to work this out from the bible. But we have done it (we think) and it’s 816 BC - see [91], [101]. It would have been so much more useful if the holy spirit had said: This was 181 years after Solomon died. Or better still: This was 697 years after the Jews left Egypt. Or better still: This being 3177 years after Adam sinned! Instead we get to know his mum’s name!
In this vein the bible tells us that a Philistine character called Ishbi-benob had a spear that weighed 300 shekels of copper (2 Samuel 21:16). Well, How fascinating! But it fails to tell us when Jesus was born! or what year he died in! Most people do not know this even today. But all literate mankind knows that Ishbi-benob's spear weighed 300 shekels of copper. What kind of a God could get his priorities so wrong? Who cares about the weight of this trogladite's spear? The dates of Jesus' birth and his death are absolutely crucial to any understanding of God's plan for mankind. The weight of this chap’s spear clearly is not (not in the literal meaning at least!)
To sum it up, after every chapter of the bible there should be a comment in bold red ink saying: Remember the author is not thick!
In section [1] which reconciles the millions of years of human fossils with the creation account in Genesis, see - Millions of years of human fossils reconciled with Genesis, we discover that God introduced himself to mankind through Adam and Eve once Homo sapiens had developed, or dare we say evolved? to the point where he had become 'spiritual'. By this we mean that he could deduce with his powers of reason the existence of things which he could not detect with his physical sensory powers. By this we mean that he became able to entertain a logical train of thought, a multi stage thought process. A good example of this is gravity. Isaac Newton 'saw' gravity with his mind, having first 'decoded' God's physical laws of motion. But the ability that modern man has to do what Newton did, was the trigger for God to introduce himself to us.
The reason that God did not introduce himself to us before we had developed spirituality, was that he did not want to introduce himself to us physically. He wanted to introduce himself to us spiritually, because firstly he wanted us all to retain the option of not seeing him if that was our desire, and secondly, he wished only to be seen by those who had a sufficiently great desire to see him that they were prepared to make the effort to use their powers of reason to deduce his existence with their mind from the physical clues which he had prepared for them. Hence Jesus said:
8 Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God (Matthew 5).
Those who are pure in heart, want to know the truth about their origins, as a matter of gratitude to a humble God. Those who pursue the truth regardless of any fears or misconceptions they may hold that such knowledge might prove detrimental to their relationship with their partner of their peers or their business colleagues. These ones, since their heart will not, out of fear, prevent them from searching with their mind, will find the truth. And the truth is that there is a God who created us, and created the current playpen in which we reside.
In the physical universe one can quite clearly see the character of God, the creator. He is perfect, he wastes nothing but recycles it all, he is incredibly hard working, he is very generous, he is kind, he loves us. But one cannot see God himself physically, one can only deduce what he might be like from what one can see of his works. The game which God is asking us to play is rather like trying to deduce the Character of Mozart from his sonata's or Van Gough from his paintings. Likewise we can deduce the character of Satan from the activities of Hitler or from a Pornographic Magazine proprietor who frustrates all of mankind with images of women which can be seen but not touched whilst he himself has half a dozen of these very women which he both sees and touches (we wish).
Now God's book, the bible, is his training manual, his instruction leaflet, his users guide, his online help button for mankind. It was created by the same God who created the universe and therefore is manufactured using the same Modus Operandi. It is therefore a spiritual book. So one will likewise have to use one's powers of reason to see God even through his book. If we really want to know him we will have to look beneath the literal surface meaning of the book. It has a hidden meaning, discernable by the power of reason, a meaning that is not literally stated. So it is written in a code.
Make no mistake, Jesus only spoke publicly (or to the crowds) in illustrations. His speaking like this was itself an illustration that the truth is not what you see on the surface:
33 So with many illustrations of that sort he would speak the word to them, as far as they were able to listen.But Jesus is called the word by John in the famous scripture:
1
In beginning the Word was, and the Word was with God, and the Word was [a] god (John 1).3 And he is arrayed with an outer garment sprinkled with blood, and the name he is called is The Word of God (Revelation 19).
But the word of God is the bible:
6 And so you have made the word of God invalid because of your tradition (Matthew 15).
17 Also, accept the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the spirit, that is, God's word (Ephesians 6).
But the word of God is Jesus:
1 On an occasion when the crowd was pressing close upon him and listening to the word of God, he was standing beside the lake of Gennesaret (Luke 5).
Jesus wasn’t quoting scriptures at them, he was speaking in illustrations as he always did, so here the word of God meant Jesus. So Jesus is the word of God which is the bible. So Jesus ‘is’ the bible. This identification is meant in the sense that God was the author, Jesus was the editor/publisher, and the writers were the journalists. As regards God’s son:
3 All things came into existence through him, and apart from him not even one thing came into existence (John 1).
So in particular the bible came into existence through him. Actually no, everything physical before Adam's sin came into existence through Satan, who was the firstborn son of God. But Michael, who is Jesus, became God's firstborn earning this right from his sacrifice as an angel - see [243]. But now the reader will see why Michael was called the word. Because Satan lost his firstborn right (for God to act exclusively through him as described in John 1:3), when he killed Adam. The right was then no one's until Jesus died. But Jesus got the firstborn right (of God acting exclusively through him) as regards the writing of the bible as a result of his promising to make the sacrifice which he made on Friday April 1, 33 AD. So he became 'the word', due to his having this right. So every chapter of the bible, every verse of the bible, every word of the bible came into existence through him. And whether Jesus was speaking to the crowds or writing for the crowds through the prophets, he used the same illustrative modus operandi, he communicated symbolically.
The word of God is an example of a word or phrase in the bible which has two different literal meanings. Another such word is presence, which in the bible can mean either the presence of the Christ or the manifestation of the Christ during a presence. The concept of one word or phrase having two literal meanings depending on the context is unusual to English speaking people. We have a language which eliminates such ambiguities by using a larger vocabulary. But the Hebrew language often has one root word with several different meanings dependent on the context.
John calls Jesus the word of life, and the life and the everlasting life in the first verse of his first letter:
That which was from [the] beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have viewed attentively and our hands felt, concerning the word of life.
Yes, the life was made manifest, and we have seen and are bearing witness and reporting to you the everlasting life which was with the Father and was made manifest to us (1 John 1:1,2).
But what is the word of life if it is not the word of God, the bible? For Jesus said to Satan quoting Moses:
But in reply he said: It is written: Man must live, not on bread alone, but on every utterance coming forth through Jehovah's mouth (Matthew 4:4).
So he humbled you and let you go hungry and fed you with the manna, which neither you had known nor your fathers had known; in order to make you know that not by bread alone does man live but by every expression of Jehovah's mouth does man live (Deuteronomy 8:3).
These utterances from God’s mouth are the words of life. And all of such are in the bible. And yet Jesus is called by the same name! This is not a coincidence, it is because he is the one mediator between God and men:
For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, a man, Christ Jesus (1 Timothy 2:5).
He was the angel that gave the law to Moses. He was the angel in the burning thornbush as Stephen and Paul disclosed:
You who received the Law as transmitted by angels but have not kept it (Acts 7:53).
Why, then, the Law? It was added to make transgressions manifest, until the seed should arrive to whom the promise had been made; and it was transmitted through angels by the hand of a mediator (Galatians 3:19).
So God inspired men to write the bible through Jesus. It was Jesus, who existed as the angel Michael before he entered the son of Joseph & Mary at his baptism, who put the words into the mouths of the prophets, all the bible writers for the scripture says:
All things came into existence through him, and apart from him not even one thing came into existence (John 1:3).
So in particular the bible came into existence through him. Every chapter of the bible, every verse of the bible every word of the bible came into existence through him. So Jesus is the word of God, the word of life, and the bible is the word of God and the word of life.
What all of this means is that since Jesus, when he was a human, spoke entirely in illustrations, in parables. And since Jesus, in his pre - human existence, as the angel Michael, who was called the word, himself transmitted the words of the bible to the bible writers, then we have no reason to suppose that the words he transmitted as an angel to the bible writers were any less symbolic, any less illustrative, any less coded, than the words he directly transmitted with his mouth as a human. Because Jesus like God is consistent in his approach to men. In other words, the whole book is a series of illustrations or parables. For an illustration is a symbolic code. Even the account of David & Goliath for example. The parables of Jesus are examples explaining the structure of the whole book.
What is more, Jesus has shown us directly how to interpret his parables, namely by constructing a symbolic look up table:
Then after dismissing the crowds he went into the house. And his disciples came to him and said: Explain to us the illustration of the weeds in the field.
In response he said:
The sower of the fine seed is the Son of man;
The field is the world
as for the fine seed, these are the sons of the kingdom; but the weeds are the
sons of the wicked one,
and the enemy that sowed them is the Devil.
The harvest is a conclusion of a system of things
and the reapers are angels.
Therefore, just as the weeds are collected and burned with fire, so it will be in the conclusion of the system of things (Matthew 13:36-40).
In the case of the bible book of Revelation, we are told directly how it was given to John:
A revelation by Jesus Christ, which God gave him, to show his slaves the things that must shortly take place. And he sent forth his angel and presented [it] in signs through him to his slave John (Revelation 1:1).
So Jesus, the mediator, gave it to an angel who presented it symbolically to John. But this is the same process that Stephen and Paul have disclosed was used to transmit the law to us. The law really means the first five books. So the right question to ask now is:
Did Jesus have some different process that he used for all the other books of the bible?
The answer to this question is no. He is not inconsistent, he wasn’t developing processes as he went along like we humans do. He was acting on behalf of God who knows everything before he starts:
Remember the first things of a long time ago, that I am the Divine One and there is no other God, nor anyone like me; the One telling from the beginning the finale, and from long ago the things that have not been done; the One saying: My own counsel will stand, and everything that is my delight I shall do (Isaiah 46:9,10).
So not just Revelation but the whole book is presented in signs through Jesus the mediator and through his angel, it is all symbolic, it is all in a symbolic code! To sum it all up: God is the publisher of the bible, Jesus is the editor, and the bible writers are the journalists. Although the editing that Jesus did was in real time.
Solomon said:
2 The Glory of God is the keeping of a matter secret, and the glory of kings is the searching through a matter (Proverbs 25). 4 If you keep seeking for it as for silver, and as for hid treasures you keep searching for it,So this knowledge is hidden. And it is hidden in the bible, for Paul says of Jesus:
3 Carefully concealed in him are all the treasures of wisdom and of knowledge (Colossians 2).Well, these treasures are not stuffed up his shirt or down his trousers, although in a sense, they are in his body, which is his church. Basically they are hidden in the information we have on him. This information is the bible. For as we have seen above, Jesus is the word of God, which is also 'the bible'. Paul describes how it is hidden and revealed:
7 But we speak God's wisdom in a sacred secret, the hidden wisdom, which God foreordained before the systems of things for our glory (1 Corinthians 2).1
0 For it is to us God has revealed them through his spirit, for the spirit searches into all things, even the deep things of God (1 Corinthians 2).So again we see that wisdom is hidden in this book, concealed or coded. For a code is hidden written information. This is why Jesus says:
2 There is nothing carefully concealed that will not be revealed, and secret that will not become known (Luke 12). 7 Keep on asking, and it will be given you; keep on seeking, and you will find; keep on knocking, and it will be opened to you (Matthew 7).And really you do not have to look that far. But you do have to look, yourself! For God said to Adam:
1
9 In the sweat of your face you will eat bread (Genesis 3)And Jesus said to Satan:
4 But in reply he said: It is written, 'Man must live, not on bread alone, but on every utterance coming forth through God's mouth' (Matthew 4)Gabriel said to Daniel:
4 And as for you, O Daniel, make secret the words and seal up the book, until the time of [the] end. Many will rove about, and the [true] knowledge will become abundant (Daniel 12).We are now in this time, this book/website is the proof, see - Daniel 8, Daniel 12. Daniel said to Nebuchadnezzar:
28 However, there exists a God in the heavens who is a Revealer of secrets, and he has made known to King Nebuchadnezzar what is to occur in the final part of the days (Daniel 2).And not only to him! But also to Jesus, who opened up the minds of his disciples:
45 Then he opened up their minds fully to grasp the meaning of the Scriptures (Luke 24).It is quite a task.
25 The woman said to him: I know that Messiah is coming, who is called Christ. Whenever that one arrives, he will declare all things to us openly.So the scriptures do not declare things openly, but the Christ opened them up. So the scriptures are coded.
Jesus opened up the scriptures to their minds.
There is a holy code for the holy scriptures, and there is a bible within the bible!
22 For example, it is written that Abraham acquired two sons,
one by the servant girl and one by the free woman;
23 but the one by the servant
girl was actually born in the manner of flesh, the other by the free woman
through a promise.
24 These things stand as a symbolic drama; for these [women]
mean two covenants, the one from Mount Sinai, which brings forth children for
slavery, and which is Hagar.
25 Now this Hagar means Sinai, a mountain in Arabia, and she
corresponds with the Jerusalem today, for she is in slavery with her children.
26 But the Jerusalem above is free, and she is our mother
(Galatians 4).
Hagar stood for the Law covenant mediated by Moses and Sarah for the new covenant mediated by Jesus, described as Paul’s mother. But what is so special about this particular account in Genesis? Is it the only one to be a symbolic drama? And what is so special about Genesis in the old testament. Might there not be some symbolic dramas in Exodus? In fact, we know that the bible is a consistent book having but one ghost writer - if the reader will pardon the metaphor! So any element of the bible code that we find to be true for one account is therefore true in every account. We call this the Consistency Principle of the code. So the whole book stands as one giant symbolic drama.
22 All this actually came
about for that to be fulfilled which was spoken by Jehovah through his prophet,
saying:
23 Look! The virgin will become pregnant and
will give birth to a son, and they will call his name Immanuel, which means,
when translated, With Us Is God (Matthew 1).
14 Therefore Jehovah himself will give you
men [of the house of David] a sign:
Look! The maiden herself will actually become pregnant, and she is giving
birth to a son, and she will certainly call his name Immanuel.
1 And Jehovah proceeded to say to me: Take
for yourself a large tablet and write upon it with the stylus of mortal man,
'Maher-shalal-hash-baz.' [written with the
stylus of mortal man, so name due to water baptism not spirit baptism, name
given before conception but not name called before conception]
2 And let me have attestation for myself by
faithful witnesses, Uriah the priest and Zechariah the son of Jeberechiah.
3 Then I went near to the prophetess, and
she came to be pregnant and in time gave birth to a son. Jehovah now said to me:
Call his name Maher-shalal-hash-baz,
4 for before the boy will know how to call
out, 'My father!' and 'My mother!' one will carry away the resources of Damascus
and the spoil of Samaria before the king of Assyria.
5 And Jehovah proceeded to speak yet further
to me, saying:
6 For the reason that this people has
rejected the waters of the Shiloah that are going gently, and there is
exultation over Rezin and the son of Remaliah;
7 even therefore, look! Jehovah is bringing
up against them the mighty and the many waters of the River, the king of Assyria
and all his glory. And he will certainly come up over all his streambeds and go
over all his banks
8 and move on through Judah. He will actually
flood and pass over. Up to the neck he will reach. And the outspreading of his
wings must occur to fill the breadth of your land, Oh Immanuel!
So Isaiah went near to the prophetess, made her pregnant, and she had a son called both Mahershalalhashbaz (meaning quickly to the plunder) and Immanuel (meaning with us is God). But Matthew tells us that Jesus Christ was a further fulfilment of Isaiah 7 and 8. So these two chapters are written in a prophetic code. They tell a true story of Isaiah sleeping with a virgin and her having a son at the first attempt, so that the virgin became pregnant. But they also tell a futher story of a future immaculate conception. The second fulfilment uses a different linguistically possible meaning of the prophecy that a virgin will become pregnant, by having her conceive whilst remaining a virgin! Certainly that is more miraculous, although understandable today with fertility clinics! Btu the point we are making is not that Isaiah 7 had a miraculous further meaning, but just that it had a further meaning and so is written in a code. Then, since Matthew tells us that Isaiah 7 and 8 have a greater meaning, the holy spirit is begging us to ask the question: What is so special about Isaish 7 and 8? Does Isaiah 9 have a greater meaning for example?
6. Abraham, the first to perform
circumcision, was looking ahead in the Spirit to Jesus when he circumcised. For
he received the firm teachings of the three letters.
7. For it says, “Abraham circumcised eighteen and three hundred men
from his household”. What knowledge, then, was given to him? Notice that he
first mentions the eighteen, and after a pause the three hundred. The number
eighteen consists of an iota [I], 10 and an eta [E],
8. There, you
have Jesus -- and because the cross was destined to have grace in the letter tau
[T] he next says "and three hundred", tau. So he indicates Jesus in
the two letters and the cross in the other (Barnabus 9:7,8).
So Barnabus was a bit of a bible decoder!!!
Let's start with the famous words of Jesus which are mistranslated by almost all English bibles - see U237 - except Young's Literal Translation and the Kingdom Interlinear Translation of the Greek Scriptures (Watchtower)...
34
Truly I say to you that this generation will by no means pass away until all
these things occur.
35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my
words will by no means pass away.
36 About but the day that and hour no one has known, neither the angels
of the heavens nor the Son, if not the Father only (Matthew 24 - Watchtower
Kingdom Interlinear Translation of the Greek Scriptures).
So the angels did not know the date of Armageddon until around the time Jesus said this on 33Nisan10, 4 days before he was murdered. If the reader visits U104, he will see 12 proofs of the date of Armageddon. One wonders how the angels could not have worked out some of these for themselves before Jesus died?
Well, without getting too technical the answer is given by Jesus when he said...
25 At that time Jesus said in response:
I publicly praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these
things from the wise and intellectual ones and have revealed them to babes
(Matthew 11).
21 In that very hour he became overjoyed in the holy spirit and
said: I publicly praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have carefully hidden these things from
wise and intellectual ones, and have revealed them to babes. Yes, Oh Father,
because to do thus came to be the way approved by you (Luke 10).
Since Jesus refers to his father as the 'Lord of heaven and earth', it is apparent that his subsequent words apply to both realms. In fact God is only described as 'Lord of heaven and earth' as above and in Acts 4:24 and Act 17:24 in the bible. So God hides bible truths from the angels and the demons, who are far wiser and far more intellectual than us, and reveals them to babes by angelic standards. All humans are babes by angelic standards. So the bible has to be sufficiently hard to decode and sufficiently ambiguous that even the angels cannot crack it. Then God can choose to give an insight to a baby human, and this lowly man, will than crack a part of the code first. The angels, on seeing this, will hit their spirit foreheads with their spirit hands and go doh! They then will race ahead of us humans using their superior intelligence and linguistic dexterity, only to get stuck at the next angelic road block until God chooses to reveal the next key to another lowly human.
For God and his children are not just fighting wicked humans, we are fighting the demons. That is why the bible code is so complicated, and why the bible is so ambiguous at first sight. Furthermore if you do not have faith and do not pray sincerely to God, to help you, then you will fare worse than the demons in your attempts to understand it. It is pointless to study the bible without prayer. The holy spirit must be present at every bible study, for progress to be made in accordance with God's will.
In this way, the demons are kept in the dark as to the precise methods God will use to defeat them.
Any element of the code that is found to be true for one account, is true for every account in the whole bible.
Or: Every account in the bible is written in precisely the same code
3 All things came into existence through him, and apart from him not even one thing came into existence (John 1).
16 All scripture is inspired of God (2 Timothy 3).
The Bible has one editor, Jesus Christ, and it has one ghost writer, inspirer - God. So it is consistent as a book, it does not contradict itself. This principle follows either from faith that God is the true author of the book, and that it is therefore consistent and therefore all in the same language or code. Or, in the alternative it follows from the academic axiom that 'the bible is perfect'. For if it is perfect then it is consistent, therefore it effectively has only one author and so it is all in the same language or code.
Every word in the bible has power in the greater meaning if not in the literal meaning.
1
8 For truly I say to you that sooner would heaven and earth pass away than for one smallest letter or one particle of a letter to pass away from the Law by any means and not all things take place (Matthew 5).1
7 Indeed, it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one particle of a letter of the Law to go unfulfilled (Luke 16).There are no wasted words in the bible. So repetitions have power, double descriptions have power. Seemingly trivial details have power. Every tense of every verb, every case of every word has power:
1
2 For the word of God is alive and exerts power and is sharper than any two-edged sword and pierces even to the dividing of soul and spirit, and of joints and [their] marrow, and [is] able to discern thoughts and intentions of [the] heart (Hebrews 4). 37 But that the dead are raised up even Moses disclosed, in the account about the thornbush, when he calls Jehovah 'the God of Abraham and God of Isaac and God of Jacob.So we must look at tense, the angel did not say the he used to be the God of Abraham.
1
6 Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. It says, not: And to seeds; as in the case of many such, but as in the case of one: And to your seed; who is Christ (Galatians 3).We will use the Power Principle to deduce other principles and symbolic understandings.
In the midst of years oh bring it to life, in the midst of years may you make it known (Habakkuk 3:2).
This scripture applies to the resurrection of Jesus and to God's means of salvation from death, Jesus' death, being made known in the midst of a period of years. Now in Hebrew the word
brq translated 'midst of' means either 'amongst' or 'middle of'. Obviously if it means 'amongst' then the scripture is telling us very little if anything. But if it means 'middle of' and we know the period of years concerned then we are being told the dates of Jesus' death and his resurrection here. By the Power Principle if we do know the period of years concerned and it is a large period, then the latter meaning of the Hebrew must be correct.There are Irrelevant Details in the bible. The more irrelevant a detail appears to be in the literal meaning, the more relevant it must be in symbolic meaning
This follows from the Power Principle. The bible is full of seemingly irrelevant detail and crucial omissions. We saw in the case of King David's purchasing of the wood and cattle for the first sacrifice on the site of Solomon's temple (that today houses a mosque in Jerusalem) that he paid 50 shekels of silver for them - see [c11.1] or see [40]. Great, who wants to know this? Are we going to put in a counter offer 3000 years later? The temple mount in Jerusalem is not an easy place to purchase right now! But the account does not tell us when Joab handed David the results of the registration. And neither are we told how long after David received the registration he made this sacrifice. We want to know this in order that we can verify whether our understanding of the 1,100,000 men of Israel drawing sword at one day per man is correct - see [c11.1] or see [40].
But actually, using the Numerical Principle of the code - [c11] the 50 shekels stand for the precise time period that we are looking for between David receiving the results from Joab, completing his registration sin, and him pacifying God with this sacrifice, 50 days, at a day for a shekel. So the price that David paid in shekels, is the period of time for which his sin remained unforgiven in days, a shekel for a day. So this seemingly irrelevant information, actually provides the answer in the symbolic meaning. This is how the bible is written. Here is another classic:
1
0 Jesus said: Have the men recline as at meal. Now there was a lot of grass in the place. Therefore the men reclined, about 5,000 in number (John 6).Definition: A bible account is a self contained complete bible story. There may be several of these in one chapter, or an account may span several chapters. These accounts may refer to other bible accounts
Definition: The Event symbolic meaning of a symbolic account is the symbolic interpretation of the events in an account.
Definition: The Word symbolic meaning of a literal or a symbolic account is the symbolic interpretation of the words of the account.
Definition: A prophetic form is a repetitive phrase whose grammatical structure has coded information about the word symbolic meanings of part or all of an account.
Definition: A subaccount of a bible account is a self contained symbolic or partially symbolic (i.e. interpretational) section of that account. A prophetic form in a subaccount only affects that subaccount.
Definition: The narrative of a bible account is all of the literal parts of the account which are not interpretational. In other words it is all of the parts of the account which are not in the sub accounts. Prophetic forms in narrative only affect the narrative. They have no affect on any subaccounts.
Definition: A 'countable noun' is a noun acting as a noun (and not as a possessive adjective) or a participle which declines like a noun acting as a noun (i.e. a gerund).
Every literal account in the bible has the normal literal meaning.
Every non literal account, such as a dream, a parable or a vision, has a straightforward symbolic meaning, which is the symbolic meaning of the events described in the account. We call this the Event Symbolic meaning, or the Event Symbolism.
Every interpretational sub account in the bible has its normal literal meaning which describes the event symbolic meaning of one or more symbolic sub accounts. If the interpretation has symbolic sections then these have event symbolic meanings.
Every account in the bible, which:
[1] contains a 'countable noun', which is a noun acting as a noun (or a participle which declines as a noun which is used as a noun, such as a 'baker' - the one causing [things] to be baked - a Hiphil participle in Hebrew) which is repeated an even number of times (wherein all repeated words take the same meaning in the literal account or in the event symbolism), and which does not contain a double designation - see [Code6b] or which
[2] has a parallel account elsewhere in the bible,
has a further set of one, two, three or four (so far as we have found) word symbolic meanings.
The number of Word Symbolic meanings in a sub account is determined by the Successive Designations Principle below - see [Code6b]. These greater meanings are in addition to the literal meaning, in the case of a literal account, and are in addition to the straightforward symbolic meaning, the event symbolic meaning, in the case of a symbolic account such as a dream, a vision or a parable. They are in addition to the literal/event symbolic meaning of an interpretational sub account.
If a bible account contains an interpretational subaccount (typically an interpretation from Jesus, Daniel or Joseph), then the literal meaning of the interpretation is the event symbolic meaning of the symbolic subaccount which it is interpreting. Obviously since the narrative is also literal, its literal meaning sets the scene for the event symbolic meaning of all of its symbolic subaccounts.
The first word symbolic meaning of any interpretational subaccount is the first word symbolic meaning of the symbolic subaccount which it interprets. Furthermore the existence of a first word symbolic thread in an interpretational subaccount unites the first word symbolic meaning of the narrative to the first word symbolic meaning of the symbolic subaccount which the interpretation is explaining.
Likewise the second, third, fourth word symbolic meanings of any interpretational subaccount (if they exist) are the second third fourth word symbolic meanings of the symbolic subaccount which it interprets. Furthermore the existence of a second, third, fourth word symbolic thread in an interpretational subaccount unites the second, third, fourth word symbolic meaning of the narrative to the second, third, fourth word symbolic meaning of the symbolic subaccount which the interpretation is explaining.
Likewise the non existence of a first second third fourth word symbolic thread in an interpretational subaccount decouples the first second third fourth word symbolic meaning of the symbolic account which it interprets from the first second third fourth word symbolic meanings of the narrative respectively.
So the Word symbolic meaning is the symbolic interpretation of the words used to describe the events in the account. Whereas the Event Symbolic meaning is the symbolic interpretation of the events themselves. Perhaps this extra bible within the bible is another reason why Jesus is called: The Word. Furthermore Paul tells us that..
The word of God is alive and exerts power... (Hebrews 4:12).
He does not say that the events which the words describe are alive and exerting power. The words which describe these events are alive. So these words have the power, they are alive, having greater meanings, rather than the events. This is the philosophy of word symbolism. One interprets the words not the events. One divorces the words from the events, and interprets them out of context.
Here is an example of the symbolic structure of Genesis 41, the classic symbolic structure puzzle from the Holy Spirit. This symbolic structure table does not go into the number of fulfilments of each word thread of each subaccount.
| Cow Dream | Corn Dream | Cow Recital | Corn Recital | Joint Interpretation | Narrative |
| Event | Event | Event | Event | Literal of Events | Literal |
| Word1 | Word1 | Word1 | Word1 | Word1 of Word1s | Word1 |
| Word2 | Word2 | Word2 | Word2 | Word2 of Word2s | Word2 |
| Word3 | Word3 |
Word1 means the first word symbolic thread of the subaccount. Each colour stands for a different symbolic meaning set for the countable nouns. The Cow Recital and the Cow dream take the same meaning in their event symbolism, since they both refer to the same events. They take the same symbolic meanings in their word symbolisms by the parallel sub account principle - see [Code15]. The same is true of the Corn dream and the Corn recital. Joseph's Interpretation links the meaning of the narrative which is literal to the event symbolic meanings of the recitals (which Joseph actually heard) which are symbolic.
By the Symbolic Structure Principle above, since the interpretation has a first word thread, the symbolic accounts that it interprets (the recitals) have the same symbolism as the narrative in this word thread. The same is true for the second word thread. And in all the word threads the recitals of the dreams have the same word symbolism as the dreams themselves by the parallel subaccount principle. So the interpretation links the word symbolisms of the symbolic accounts to the literal account the narrative. The interpretation itself is both symbolic and literal. So the red and blue bands are universal across all the 6 subaccounts due to the existence of a first and second word thread in Joseph's interpretation. The third word thread of the recital of the cows does not share the same symbolism as the third word thread of the narrative because Joseph's interpretation does not have a third word thread. So we used two different shades of Lilac for these symbolisms. For a full decoding of Genesis 40 and 41 - see [304]
Most accounts in the bible do have word symbolic meanings but some do not. Some accounts only have their literal or event symbolic meanings. For example...
27
As
Jesus
was passing along from there, two blind
[ones]
followed
him, crying out and saying: Have mercy upon us, Son
of David.
28 After he had gone into the house, the blind
[ones]
came to him, and Jesus asked them: Do you have faith that I can do this?
They answered him: Yes, Lord.
29 Then he touched their eyes, saying: According to your
faith let it happen to you.
30 And their eyes received sight. Moreover, Jesus
sternly charged them, saying: See that nobody gets to
know it.
31 But the
[ones], after getting outside, made it public about him in
all that region. (Matthew 9)
Jesus 3x
Son of David 1x
Lord 1x
This literal bible account has no 'bible noun' occurring an even number of times and no double designations. It doesn't have a parallel account, so it has no word symbolic meaning.
47
The kingdom of the heavens is like a dragnet thrown
into the sea, and gathering up [fish] of every kind.
48
When it got full they hauled
it up onto the beach, and sitting down, they collected the fine ones into
vessels, the unsuitable they threw outside.
49
This is how it will be in the
conclusion of the system of things. The angels will go out and separate the
wicked ones out of the midst of the righteous ones, and will cast them into the fiery furnace.
There is where the weeping and the gnashing of teeth will be
(Matthew 13).
This symbolic bible account has no repeated 'bible noun' and has no parallel account and no double designation. It therefore has no word symbolism.
If the reader is puzzling over what precise distinction we are making, between event symbolism and word symbolism then please consider the following non scriptural example:
King Nebuchadnezzar went fishing. The king caught a fish. Nebuchadnezzar put the fish back. His servants said: My Lord, why did you not eat the fish. Nebuchadnezzar the King of Babylon said: Because I didn't have any chips to eat it with!
In the literal meaning of this little (made up) story the character referred to variously as:
King Nebuchadnezzar (adjective and noun)
The King
Nebuchadnezzar
My Lord
Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon (double designation)
... is just one character. He is Nebuchadezzar, the King of Babylon, the Lord over his servants. But in the Word symbolism, we are talking about 5 different but related characters. 'My Lord', 'the King' and 'Nebuchadnezzar' may be totally unrelated, but King Nebuchadnezzar will be related to 'The King' and to 'Nebuchadnezzar' and to 'Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon', since it shares common words with these other designations.
Event symbolism is referred to variously in this book and in the website www.truebiblecode.com as the first symbolism, the straight symbolism, the straightforward symbolism.
Word symbolism is referred to as the second symbolism, the coded symbolism, the account symbolism.
Peter says:
1
9 Consequently we have the prophetic word [made] more sure and you are doing well in paying attention to it as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until day dawns and a daystar rises, in your hearts.So all of the word of God, the word of life, the bible, is prophetic. They are all prophetic words.
8 The sovereign Lord Jehovah himself has spoken who will not prophesy? (Amos 3).1
2 For the word of God is alive and exerts power and is sharper than any two-edged sword and pierces even to the dividing of soul and spirit, and of joints and [their] marrow, and [is] able to discern thoughts and intentions of [the] heart (Hebrews 4).The word being alive, means that it has a further life over and above it’s literal meaning. This is how it exerts power in the prophetic sense. The bible is not a dead history book of past events. It is also a living history book of future events symbolically encoded in the stories of the past events. This works because history is fractal. Was it Churchill who said: The further back you look into history, the further forward you see? The same is true of the bible, but actually because each account has more than one life. They all have greater meanings. These meanings are normally prophetic and so are further fulfillments of the scriptures.
One can use the Consistency Principle to deduce that the whole bible is prophetic just from the fact that certain scriptures are prophetic. Likewise since certain scriptures are laws, we can deduce that the whole bible is the 'Law of God', using the same principle. And since certain scriptures are Psalms, we can deduce that the whole bible is a giant praise to God, it is one huge Psalm, by the Consistency Principle.
Even when we are being told that Jacob crossed a river with 200 she goats, 20 he goats, 200 female sheep, 20 rams, 30 camels giving suck and their young ones, 40 cows, 10 bulls, 20 she asses and 10 full grown asses (Genesis 32:14,15) this is prophetic. It is symbolic, it stands for something greater. Who actually wants to know the precise numbers of these animals that crossed a river 3800 years ago ? (except perhaps a historical agricultural economist).
So either the word of God is alive and is exerting power today, through further fulfillments of words written thousands of years ago or it is dead and powerless. Either the flaming blade of the sword guarding the way back to the tree of life in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3:24), the two edged sword (Hebrews 4:12) that pierces even to the dividing of soul and spirit, is continuously turning, or it has broken down and has come to a standstill. Either the word of God has a height and a breadth and a length and a depth, which we are able to grasp mentally (Ephesians 3:18), or it is flat. Either this book has further meaning upon further meaning upon further meaning, or it has one meaning and we should all become Hasidic Jews and start declaring Sabbath-free zones everywhere.
Incidentally just because a bible account has no second meaning does not mean it is not in a code. On the contrary it is in a code, a code which prohibits it from having a further meaning. Here are some examples of word symbolic meanings...
1 When Israel was a boy, then I loved him, and out of Egypt I called my son. (Hosea 11).
These words from the prophet Hosea are a historical statement about the calling of the nation of Israel out of Egypt at the time of Moses. But Matthew knew that they had a further fulfillment involving a further son:
15 and he stayed there until the decease of Herod, for that to be fulfilled which was spoken by Jehovah through his prophet, saying: Out of Egypt I called my son (Matthew 2).
This time the son was Jesus who was taken to Egypt by his parents to avoid persecution by Herod. So there can be no argument that this particular scripture has a further meaning. This second meaning cannot be literal since there can only be one literal meaning which is the historical meaning. So the second fulfilment results from a second meaning which is a symbolic meaning. In fact it is the word symbolic meaning of this verse of Hosea.
Consider now the words of Jesus in Matthew 24:
21 For then there will be great tribulation such as has not
occurred since the world's beginning until now, no, nor will occur again.
22 In fact, unless those days were cut short, no flesh would be
saved; but on account of the chosen ones those days will be cut short (Matthew
24).
This looks like it applies to a great tribulation leading into Armageddon, since
the 'world', which is biblical terms is the system of things post Adam's fall
and pre Armageddon, is still ongoing, and we haven't all died yet (neither do we
all die at the end). But in the same chapter we read:
15 Therefore, when you catch sight of the disgusting
thing that causes desolation, as spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in a holy
place, (let the reader use discernment,) 16 then let those in Judea begin
fleeing to the mountains (Matthew 24).
This looks like it applies to the end of the Jewish system of things, and the
great tribulation on the inhabitants of Jerusalem from 66Tishri when the Roman
General Cestius entered the temple in Jerusalem until to 70Ab when the Roman
General Titus burned the temple in Jerusalem. Obviously fleeing to the mountains
of Judea is not a viable option for people in Colorado at the end of the
World.
For these reasons and other reasons, many Christian churches understand that Matthew 24 applies both to the end of the Jewish system of things 66-70 AD and the end of this system of things (The great tribulation and Armageddon). However what they have hitherto failed to understand is that rather than some verses applying to one end and other verses applying to the other end, the whole account has a literal (although somewhat metaphorically stated) meaning applying to the end of the Jewish system of things and a symbolic meaning applying to this whole system of things, 'the world'. So actually every verse applies to the end of Jerusalem by the Romans in the first meaning and to the end of the World by the final corruption of the UN in the second meaning, which is the word symbolic meaning of Matthew 24. For the UN started as a great humanitarian organisation but ends as a corrupt worldwide dictatorship. If you do not believe that this sort of thing happens, then read animal farm by George Orwell, or go see Star Wars, the attack of the clones. The bad guys always begin by posing as saviours - the UK/US are also going rotten by the same route presently. The bible describes them as follows:
11 And I saw another wild beast ascending out of the earth, and it had two horns like a lamb, but it began speaking as a dragon (Revelation 13).
The two horns are the twin powers of the US and the UK. The horns of a lamb are sacrificial and saving. Both powers made great sacrifices and saved the world in two world wars. But the dragon is Satan's heavenly administration. And right now the US and the UK have ceased acting as a lamb and have started speaking as a dragon. In other words we lie. We lie about WMDs and procure war votes from congress and parliament using deception. Let us be more specific. The US and the UK were genuine true honest saviours in both World Wars. We used to be the good guys. We were also genuine true and honest saviours in the first Gulf War under Bush senior and stormy Norman.
But in the second Gulf War war, under Bush junior and his generals, we are becoming the bad guys. During the run up to this war we posed as saviours but were in fact acting as aggressors on the basis of a deception. This is not to say that the removal of Saddam was not a good idea. There are many dictators that the world would be better off without and he was certainly one of them. But without getting involved in politics, it is a bad idea to lie to congress or parliament about WMDs and a bad idea to trick them both into declaring war on an unarmed man for the purpose of disarming him. For the full symbolic meaning of Revelation 13 (as far as we understand it) - see [158].
Now the writer is fully aware that the majority of UK and US nationals will not want to hear or believe or accept the above, because as a race, man believes what he is comfortable with and refuses to believe what he is uncomfortable with. This is why God chooses to save us on our faith, which is our belief. For if we love him, then we will be comfortable with him and so we will believe, but if we do not, then we will not be comfortable with him and so we will refuse to believe.
But refusing to believe a truth has no effect on any reality, it only buries your head in the sand. So please, my brothers from every race, do not be like the Pakistani Muslims who were surveyed about 911, and 89% of whom believed that Muslims were not responsible for the Twin Towers Tragedy. And do not be like the sons of Jacob, most of whom believe that Jesus (whom their forefather's murdered) is not God's son. For we are all the same as them, and they are all the same as each other in genetic character predisposition. Believe instead in the truth, however uncomfortable it appears to be and however embarrassing it may be. Be like Daniel Barenboim the world class Jewish pianist who plays his music to the Palestinians because he will not hide from the truth. Now he truly is a son of Abraham, through the 1AC, and God himself will listen to his music for a very very long time - see [9], because one does not show courage and love like that without faith in God. And who cares about some minor embarrassment or about the loss of a few cushions? Surely the truth is greater than these things? for the good book says:
32 Know the truth and the truth will set you free (John 8).
Here are another couple of famous examples from Matthew 24
2 Truly I say to you: By no means will a stone be left here upon a stone and not be thrown down (Matthew 24).
In the literal meaning, the temple was destroyed by the Roman General Titus in 70 CE, and the temple was knocked down, and no stone was left standing upon a stone. In the greater meaning the temple stones are the living stones of the Christian temple of the body of the Christ, which is all of the new covenant saints. And this is a prophecy that this temple will be knocked down, whilst the stones are still around. In other words what happened to the Jews, their rejection by God, will also happen to the first administration of the Christian church, under the New covenant Saints, these stones.
Jesus when describing the signs of the times to his disciples said:
34 Truly I say to you that this generation will by no means pass away until all these things occur (Matthew 24).
In other words one generation will see all of the signs of the time and the end. Now we know that this was true in the case of the disciples and Jewish system of things. They saw the signs of the times and they saw General Titus destroy Jerusalem and burn the temple in 70CE. But there is a further meaning that applies to the generation that sees the signs of the times today during Jesus' second presence. He is present right now, see - The 2 Presences and 6 related comings of the Christ [33]. In the current meaning the generation that saw the first world war will see Armageddon (through their spectacles!)
The apostle Paul in Galatians 4 informs us that 3 chapters of Genesis are written in a Symbolic Code. He says:
22 For example, it is written that Abraham acquired two sons, one by the servant
girl and one by the free woman;
23 but the one by the servant girl was actually born in the manner of flesh, the other by the free woman through a
promise.
24 These things stand as a symbolic drama; for these [women] mean two
covenants, the one from Mount Sinai, which brings forth children for slavery, and which is Hagar.
25 Now this Hagar means Sinai, a mountain in Arabia, and she corresponds with the Jerusalem today, for she is in
slavery with her children.
26 But the Jerusalem above is free, and she is our mother (Galatians 4).
Now we read about Hagar giving birth to Ishmael in Genesis 16, and we read about Sarah conceiving Isaac in Genesis 17 and her giving birth to Isaac in Genesis 21. So Paul is saying to us that these three chapters at the least, are a 'Symbolic Drama'. They have a greater meaning which is encoded symbolically. So these three chapters are not just dead history they are also living prophecy written in terms of dead history. They have a greater meaning relating to covenants. But for the full story of Genesis 16 - see [210].
So come now dear reader, son or daughter of the greatest mind in the universe. Can you think of a question that is being begged of you by the holy spirit at this time?
What is so special about Genesis 16, Genesis 17, Genesis 21, Matthew 24 and Hosea 11?
Here are the words of David before he became King of Israel. David was speaking about his own persecution as he hid in the wilderness for 7 years from the jealousy of King Saul.
1 My God, my God, why have you left me? (Psalm 22)
16 For dogs have surrounded me;
The assembly of evildoers themselves have enclosed me.
Like a lion [they are at] my hands and my feet.
17 I can count all my bones.
They themselves look, they gaze upon me.
18 They apportion my garments among themselves
And upon my clothing they cast lots (Psalm 22).
These words were uttered by David about his own personal situation. But they are inspired prophetic words, and they have a second fulfillment in the impalement/Crucifixion of Jesus Christ. For he said just before he died:
46 Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is, My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? (Matthew 27).
Not only this but the soldiers guarding him cast lots over his garments, none of his bones were broken on the stake (the legs of crucifixion victims were routinely broken by the Romans to speed up their deaths if necessary). The robbers on either side of him had their legs broken. Jesus was of course fastened by his hands and his feet to the stake. So here again is history which is also living prophecy. The literal Psalm applies to King David, the Word symbolic meaning applies to Jesus Christ. The application of this psalm of David to Jesus has been known for many years. But no man before 1992 realised that all scripture has a greater application, a greater meaning, not just Psalm 22.
So now we can ask the rhetorical question what is so special about Genesis 16, Genesis 17, Genesis 21, Matthew 24, Hosea 11 and Psalm 22?
17 But as for the tree of the knowledge of good and bad you must not eat from it, for in the day you eat from it dying you will die (Genesis 2).
The literal meaning was that Adam died, not physically but judicially on the literal day that he ate. By Judicial death we mean that Adam was under a death sentence, and 'as good as dead' from then on. He was living merely by means of a stay of execution of that sentence. Jesus meant the same thing when he said:
22 Let the dead bury their dead (Matthew 8).
He meant: Let those who are still under Adam's death sentence bury their physically dead ones. The greater meaning of God's command in Genesis is that all of Adam's sons die physically during the period or 'day', wherein they continue to eat from this tree of knowledge of good and bad. So today, for example, even though we are no longer in the garden of Eden, we are still eating and we are still dying. The 'Day' of Genesis 2:17, is therefore the 'day' of this system of things, it is still ongoing! But not for much longer. And when we stop eating, then we stop dying. Putting this another way, once we have learned Good from Bad, then obviously God no longer needs to kill us Judicially. When God threw Adam out of the garden he stopped him gaining access not to the tree of knowledge of Good and Bad, but to the tree of life:
24 And so he drove the man out and posted at the east of the garden of Eden the cherubs and the flaming blade of a sword that was turning itself continually to guard the way to the tree of life (Genesis 3).
Jesus regarded the whole bible as the prophetic law of God, he said:
44 He now said to them: These are my words which I spoke to you while I was yet with you, that all the things written in the law of Moses and in the Prophets and Psalms about me must be fulfilled.How can the law of Moses be fulfilled? A law is supposed to be obeyed not fulfilled! But he says again:
1
7 Indeed, it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one particle of a letter of the Law to go unfulfilled (Luke 16).1 For since the Law has a shadow of the good things to come, but not the very substance of the things... (Hebrews 10).
But both Jesus and Paul show us that the 'Law' does not merely refer to the Law of Moses, in the Exodus, Leviticus and Numbers. It is the whole bible. The whole book is the law of God for mankind.
Paul says:
21 Tell me, you who want to be under law [of Moses]: Do you not hear the Law [of God]?But this wasn't written in the law of Moses, it was written in Psalm 82:6
6 I myself have said, You are gods, And all of you are sons of the Most High (Psalm 82).But this wasn't written in the law of Moses, no, it was written in Psalm 69:4
4 They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head (Psalm 69 - Septuagint bible LXX)So Psalms must be a part of the 'law' of God.
But Isaiah said, over 700 years after Moses was given the law:
3 Out of Zion law will go forth and the word of Jehovah out of Jerusalem (Isaiah 2).
In one meaning this law out of Zion is the word of God out of heavenly Jerusalem, which is the whole bible. What we have just done is extend an element of the bible code, namely, that every scripture has a further fulfillment, from the Law of Moses to the whole bible, by considering other scriptures to define precisely what Jesus meant. But we could equally well have done this using the Consistency Principle above.
Every verse of the Law of Moses, every verse of Genesis, every verse of the Psalms, is to be fulfilled again. In fact the whole bible is the law of mankind and all of it, every letter of it, has to be fulfilled a second time. And for the majority of scriptures, we are now living in that time, which is why the same one, Jesus Christ, is opening up our minds yet again. For if every scripture has a further fulfillment then so does Luke 24 when it says:
45 Then he opened up their minds fully to grasp the meaning of the
Scriptures.
46 and he said to them: In this way it is written that the Christ
would suffer and rise from among the dead on the third day (Luke 24).
So how can our minds be opened up? In what way is the suffering and resurrection
timing of Jesus written in the scriptures? Well Jesus has already explained...
40 For just as Jonah was in the belly of the huge fish
3 days
and 3 nights, so the Son of man will be in the heart of the earth 3 days and 3
nights (Matthew 12).
30 For just as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, in the same
way will the Son of man be also to this generation.
It is encoded symbolically in a historical account about a prophet who was eaten by a big fish! Yes, it is another symbolic drama. Jesus opened up the minds of his disciples by making them aware that the book was written in this symbolic way and that every account stood symbolically for something else. This indeed is one reason why Jesus spoke to the crowds entirely in illustrations. He was teaching them and teaching us, that the whole bible was written in this way. Even his famous parables have a greater meaning in addition to the obvious moral message!
34 All these things Jesus spoke to the crowds by illustrations. Indeed, without an illustration he would not speak to them (Matthew 13).
Jesus only explained the meaning of two of his parables to his disciples in the scriptures. Of course he explained the meanings of many other parables to them privately, but the holy word only records to of his explanations. These explanations are therefore fundamental to all Christians especially to bible decoders. He explained the meanings of the parable of the wheat and the weeds, and of the parable of the sower who went to sow.
In his explanation of the parable of the wheat and the weeds, Jesus gives us the meanings of the words: Sower, Field, Fine Seed, Weeds, Enemy, Harvest, all of which are repeated NOUNS in the account - see [The Repetition Principle]. And he gives the meaning of one further noun: Reapers, which is not repeated - see [70].
In his explanation of the sower who went to sow, in all three cases (Matthew13, Mark4 and Luke8), Jesus gives the meaning neither of words, nor of repeated words, but of unrepeated phrases which describe events in the parable - see [63].
So in the case of the weeds Jesus explains the meaning of the words in the parable (the repeated nouns except one) and in the case of the sower Jesus explains the meaning of the events in the parable (which are not repeated). It is not hard to see, therefore, that Jesus is explaining the word symbolic meaning of the weeds and the event symbolic meaning of the sower. He is also, by only explaining these two parables in this way, explaining that these two are the only two types of symbolism employed by the bible code.
In other words these two are the beginning and end of the matter as regards bible symbolism. Now in the case of the sower, the literal meaning of Jesus' explanation explains the event symbolic meaning of the parable and the word symbolic meaning of Jesus' explanation explains (to some extent) the word symbolic meaning of the parable. But in the case of the weeds, the literal meaning of his explanation covers the word symbolic meaning of the parable and the word symbolic meaning of his explanation covers the event symbolic meaning of the parable. For even the explanations are holy and therefore coded.
The first 2 verses of the book of Revelation read:
1 A revelation by Jesus Christ, which God gave
him, to show his slaves the things that must shortly take place. And he sent
forth his angel and presented [it] in signs through him to his slave John,
2 who bore witness to:
the word God gave
and to the witness Jesus Christ gave,
even to all the things he saw (Revelation 1).
Obviously 'all the things he saw' is the literal account of the vision. But John is also bearing witness to 'The word God gave'. This therefore is a witness to God's words themselves which is the word symbolic meaning. John is also bearing witness to the (symbolically expressed) witness that Jesus gave him in the form of the vision, this then is the event symbolic account, the symbolic meaning of the events of the vision.
| All the things he saw | Literal account of the vision |
| The Word God gave | Coded word symbolic meaning of the vision |
| The Witness Jesus Christ gave | Straight event symbolic meaning of the vision |
But then the reader must consider the following question. Did God, like we men do in many of our great projects, only work out how to write the bible properly when he had almost finished the job? Did he only work out how to inspire a symbolic bible account when he reached Revelation, having not thought of it at the time Moses wrote Genesis?
Obviously not for he is:
10 The one telling from the beginning the finale, and from long ago the things that have not been done (Isaiah 46).
He is the one who knew that Man would walk on the moon before he said: Let there be light. So we deduce that every symbolic account in the whole bible is written in this same way as Revelation. So all symbolic accounts have an event symbolic meaning and a word symbolic meaning.
It is not hard to see that literal accounts, such as the history of Abraham or David etc. have the same set of meanings as symbolic accounts except that the literal account is the event symbolic meaning. For a literal account is a symbolic account with no symbolism if you see what we mean. In mathematical terms this would be the identity symbolism. A symbolism in which an apple is always an apple and an orange is always an orange etc.
Accounts which contain both literal and symbolic portions, such as dreams, explanations and fulfillments, obey the two rules above for their respective portions.
Do you remember the famous words of Jesus:
16 In this way the last ones will be first, and the first ones last (Matthew 20).
There are many meanings of this scripture and other scriptures which repeat this last being first concept. But one interesting one is that the last words of the bible tell the reader how to decode it. Hebrew books are read from the back to the front, they are read backwards. And this is a living prophecy from God, the creator of both English and Hebrew, that the decoding of the bible works backwards from the end. Much of our Chronology works backwards from the date of Armageddon. And as regards the bible code, well like any good text book, the answer can be looked up in the back of the book!
18 I am bearing witness to everyone (panti
masculine) that hears
the words (logouV masculine) of the prophecy of this
scroll: If anyone
adds/imposes upon them (auta neuter - words
or hearers), God will impose upon him the plagues that are written in this
scroll.
19 And if anyone takes anything away from the
words of the scroll of this prophecy, God will take his portion away from the
trees of life and out of the holy city, things which are written about in this
scroll (Revelation 22).
The literal meaning of these two verses is that if you add words to the scroll of Revelation itself, you will get plagues, and if you take words from the scroll of Revelation, corrupting the text, you will lose your everlasting life.
1 A revelation by Jesus Christ, which God gave him, to show his slaves the things that must shortly take place. And he sent forth his angel and presented [it] in signs through him to his slave John (Revelation 1).
11 saying: What you see write in a scroll and send it to the seven congregations, in Ephesus and in Smyrna and in Pergamum and in Thyatira and in Sardis and in Philadelphia and in Laodicea (Revelation 1).
6 And he said to me: These words are faithful and
true, and the Lord, the God of the inspired expressions of the prophets sent
his angel forth to show his slaves the things that must shortly take place.
7 And, look! I am coming quickly. Happy is anyone observing the
words of the prophecy of this scroll.
8 Well, I John was the one hearing and seeing these things. And
when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel that had been showing me these
things (Revelation 22).
This scroll is the scroll of Revelation in the literal meaning that contains all the visions presented by the angel of Jesus (who must have been Gabriel) to John. More seriously, it appears that some bible versions of Revelation have bits added and bits removed. We shall have to investigate this further...
Since Revelation 22 is a literal account from verse 6 onwards, so the symbolic meaning is an account symbolism, and is further the very definition of how all the symbolic meanings of the bible work! For we have the words of the scroll of the prophecy and we have the words of the prophecy of the scroll. These two define the event symbolic and account symbolic meanings as follows:
| Words | Symbolic meaning |
| Scroll | Account |
| Prophecy | Events |
| Scroll of this prophecy | Account of the events |
| Prophecy of this scroll | Events of the account |
| Words of the scroll of this prophecy | Symbolic meaning of the account of the events |
| Words of the prophecy of this scroll | Symbolic meaning of the events of the account |
So the bible has two symbolic grammars, if you like. There is a symbolic meaning of the prophecy of the scroll, which is the straight forward symbolism of the events in the account. Then there is the symbolic meaning of the scroll of the prophecy, which is the symbolic meaning of the account of the events, the words that describe the events. Hence the name 'Word Symbolism' for this symbolic meaning. This may be another reason why Jesus is called the 'Word' of God.
So if anyone persecutes someone who understands the Event symbolism of Revelation then they get plagues. And if any sanctified person will not accept Word Symbolism then they get no more food from the tree of life, and they fail to join the holy city of FDS2/4 so they break their baptism.
The corollary of this is that the Holy City and the life giving food are derived from the Word Symbolic meanings of the bible.
Revelation makes the distinction between Event Symbolism and Account Symbolism using Account symbolism. It is an implicit distinction. But nonetheless, the distinction is there.
For those who do not understand the meaning of explicit, consider the two equations below:
x=2+1 (explicit)
x+3=2x ( implicit)
Both equations have the same solution, namely x=3, the latter equation defines x in terms of itself, this is the meaning of 'implicit'. Likewise Revelation 22:18,19 define event and account symbolisms through account symbolism. But verse 10 reads:
10 He also tells me: Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this scroll, for the appointed time is near (Revelation 22).
Whereas Gabriel said to Daniel:
4 And as for you, Oh Daniel, make secret the words and seal up the scroll, until the time of [the] end. Many will rove about, and the [true] knowledge will become abundant (Daniel 12).
The words of the prophecy of the scroll are the event symbolic meaning. This meaning is the straight symbolism, it is not sealed. In fact mankind saw that the wild beast of Revelation 13 and 17 was the League of Nations in 1920. This is the event symbolic meaning. But the account symbolic meaning, the word symbolism, was sealed up until the time of the end, which began in 1992Shebat21 - see [157]. Now Revelation22 deliberately does not say: Do not seal up the words of the scroll of the prophecy, because the Word symbolic meaning was sealed up.
So the same account that tells us not to mess around physically with the physical holy words of Revelation (and it tells us that false churches will do this), also tells us how precisely to mess around symbolically with these words in order to get their symbolic meanings (and true churches will do this). And by the Consistency Principle, this symbolic methodology applies, the two symbolisms apply, not just to the book of Revelation, but to the whole bible.
Finally we have the shortest parable in t
