The Bible is written as two books. "Two books" does not refer to the Old and New Testaments, but to the literal record and the "mystery hidden from the beginning" within it.[1]
- Normally we say that the Bible has 66 books. This refers to writings by men. When scholars read the Bible, they attempt to interpret the human author's intent for writing.
The second book was written by God by embedding symbols of the cross in the literal writings of men. The meaning of the symbols was not made known until after the cross.
The mystery book - prophetic riddle Discussion
God caused the fish to write a book about fish history; the literal Bible, and hid another book inside. [2][3][4]- He nudged them to write the hidden book, using childish riddles [5], using the same words as the literal history. [6] They were unaware of it. [7]
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]

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.)
