Site Purpose

Jesus said that all the scriptures talk about Him. [1] When the Bible mentions people like Adam, Moses, or Noah, it’s pointing to Jesus. These are called "types," and "shadows1" but figuring them out can sometimes feel like guessing games. God didn’t carefully protect every word in the Bible just to let people make up their own ideas about it. Instead, the Bible is written with a special layer of meaning—a kind of hidden message that only becomes clear after the cross. [2]

This site is all about understanding this "hidden message" by relying on the Holy Spirit, who inspired the Bible. [3][4]

The "priesthood of the believer" doesn’t mean everyone can just decide what the Bible means for themselves. [5] Instead, it means believers are called to pray for and help others.
With the Holy Spirit’s guidance, we can see how all of scripture points to Jesus. [6] This understanding should be clear enough to share and teach others. [7]

We encourage you to ask questions, join the conversation, and as you learn, create your own works or contribute here. Together, we form a "fellowship of the mystery."

Apologies for the mess. I have found the wiki to be a great tool so you may find other things I work on in here as well. It is more convenient than having stuff splattered all over the internet.
