Jesus said that all the scriptures spoke of him.[1]
When the scriptures speak of others like Adam, Moses and Noah, it is said that they speak of Christ through types; but the study of types is fraught with free-for-all allegory. Surely God did not protect every jot and tittle of his word only to leave it at the mercy of the fickle human mind and heart. Indeed he did not. The literal Bible is written on the 'security paper' of prophetic riddle; a layer of meaning 'hidden from the beginning
[2]and revealed after the cross.
This site is dedicated to reading the second book. [3] and the interpretation of it by the Spirit who gave it. [4]
- The 'priesthood of the believer' does not grant the individual the right to interpret scripture for himself. [5] but is a demand upon him to intercede or pray for others.
- Scripture is properly understood when the Holy Spirit assists you in your studies so that you may see Christ in them all. [6] This is done in a verifiable way so that you may teach others. [7]
It is intended that others feel free to participate by asking questions, and as they become proficient, to spin off their own works or contribute here as members of the "fellowship of the mystery". [8]

Teaser - Ancient Hebrew [∞]
It used to be believed that the Hebrew square test was the language of God. But modern theologians and "scholars" who are hostile [2] to God have persuaded many that the Hebrews wrote their most sacred texts in the language of their enemies while in captivity. This is utter nonsense on it's face. |

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.
Acts 12
Luke has hidden a story of Jesus in Acts 12. It meets the definition of sod (pronounced sowd) given by the rabbis: it is hidden in scripture and speaks of Messiah. [2] [3] |

Herod
To see the picture, you must connect ideas, not merely words. The verses associated with the ideas below (in the references) concerning Christ do not use the word 'vexed'. But when we read 'vexed' in Acts 12:1, if we meditate upon it, we realize that Jesus had been vexed by two different Herod's; once at the time of his birth, and once at his trial. Jesus said all the scriptures speak of him, so we always ask, "In what way does this speak of Christ?"

The arrest
Connecting the dots concerning the arrests takes more than looking for a common word. Peter was arrested during the "days of unleavened bread". The lazy expositor assumes that the day of unleavened bread are the 'feast of unleavened bread' which takes place after Passover, and the connection to Jesus will never be made. To ensure that we don't misunderstand, Luke tells us that Herod intended to display Peter to the crowds after Easter. [1] The DAYS of unleavened bread occurred before Passover when the Jews sold all their leavening to their non-Jewish neighbors so they could buy it back after Passover. |

Two
We have been taught to compare and contrast things. In prophetic riddle, we only compare. Peter was placed between two guards, and Jesus between two thieves. If we get hung up contrasting them, we are distracted that guards and thieves are not alike. The comparison between the two is that in each case they were between two somethings. |

The invisible God https://2ndbook.org/w/images/6/62/PP_GOD_The_invisible_God.mp4
We are like fish swimming in a stream. We do what we do while God, like the stream, nudges us where he wills. We are in him [1] [2] [3], and we do not see him.
Since we cannot see or hear him [5]; how can he make himself known? He causes the fish to write a book about fish history. This is our literal Bible. Within it he writes a second book; a mystery, hidden from the beginning. He makes himself known through the mystery book in prophetic riddle. [6][7] |

In the last century prominent Theologians and scholars debated sensus plenior. They concluded that they could not read the OT the way Jesus and the apostles did. | |
