Site purpose [∞]


Jesus said that all Scripture speaks about Him. [1]

When the Bible mentions figures like Adam, Moses, or Noah, it’s ultimately pointing to Jesus. These are known as types and shadows, but recognizing them can sometimes feel like a guessing game. Yet, God didn’t preserve every word of Scripture just so people could invent their own interpretations. Instead, the Bible contains a deeper layer of meaning—a hidden message that only becomes fully clear in light of the cross. [2]

This site is dedicated to uncovering that hidden message by relying on the Holy Spirit, who inspired the Bible. [3][4]

  • The priesthood of the believer doesn’t mean everyone can interpret Scripture however they like. [5] Rather, it means believers are called to pray for and guide one another.
  • With the Holy Spirit’s help, we can see how all of Scripture reveals Jesus. [6] And this understanding isn’t meant to stay hidden—it should be clear enough to share and teach others. [7]

We invite you to ask questions, join the conversation, and as you grow, contribute your own insights or creations. Together, we form a fellowship of the mystery.

Apologies for any disorganization—you may find a mix of projects here. The wiki has proven to be a useful tool, keeping things in one place rather than scattered across the internet. (And of late, serves as my memory.)
