THE BIBLE CODE IN THE PLAIN TEXT

 ANNOTATED TABLE OF CONTENTS

Chapter 1:        God’s Feasts.  This is a general overview of the feasts of God.  This chapter explains the God-given feasts of Israel and what it is about them that is so important for Christians.

Chapter 2:        Rosh Hashana and God’s Time Clock.  This chapter details the timing of the Rapture.  It uses the time frame of 24 hours and equates it to 1000 years, explaining how each of the years breaks down into each hour of the 24 hours.  This chapter includes a detailed chart about God’s Time Clock.   It also discusses the significance of the many references to the days numbering three and seven, with a corresponding chart for reader clarity.

Chapter 3:        The Latter and Former Rain.  The latter and former rain are concepts used as illustrations in the Old Testament describing Jesus’ two visits to earth.  Chapter 3 explains which feasts Christ has fulfilled and which feasts are yet to be fulfilled and in what season.  Scripture references are provided.

Chapter 4:        The Trumpet.    Information about how the trumpet is used in the Word of God and its significance as a harbinger of many of God’s events.  This chapter discusses primarily how the trumpet ties into the rapture that is yet to occur, and how important it is that we always have our ear tuned that we may hear it when it is blown, as Jesus instructed us to do.

Chapter 5:        The New Moon.  This chapter discusses the cycle of the moon as the basis for the Jewish calendar.  It also talks about the Bible’s explanation of the moon, telling us that it is there not only as the separation of day and night but it is there for a sign as well.  This chapter details the importance of this sign, how to recognize it, and its future implications for the church as the bride of Christ.

Chapter 6:        Gladness.  In this chapter, the types and shadows are explained from the book of Nehemiah.  It explains the mysteries and importance of Rosh Hashanah as a time of gladness through the story as told in Nehemiah.  But not only is this story about gladness, it is the entire picture of heaven at the rapture!  This chapter anticipates the rejoicing that we will experience at the time of the rapture as we realize even more fully the redemption provided for us by Jesus. 

Chapter 7:        The Wedding of the Messiah.  This chapter discusses the wedding of the Messiah that is to be performed in the future and is compared to the ancient Jewish wedding with examples coming from the Old Testament.  It details the symbolism of the wedding, communion, the rapture, redemption, and the Second Coming of Christ.  It tells us why the rapture and the Second Coming are two distinct events which are often confused as one.  Within this chapter is a discussion of the significance of Jesus turning the water into wine.  It explains what the wine and the rivers of living water represent.

Chapter 8:        The Wedding of the Messiah as Found in the Book of Esther.  The book of Esther is analyzed and found to be another description of the wedding of the Messiah, which events are chronicled and discussed in light of this wedding, including the references to the third day.

Chapter 9:        The Wedding of Sampson, One of the Children of Promise.  The story of Sampson provides the meaning of Christ’s wedding as a prophetic event of the rapture and the wedding of the Messiah to His bride, the church.  In this chapter the time frames of the third and seventh day are explained further.  We are going to a wedding celebration, and even now, the bride is making herself ready to meet the Bridegroom when He comes.  This chapter explains the riddle of Sampson and the events that surround this story.

Chapter 10:      The Coronation of the King.  One aspect of Rosh Hashanah is the reaffirmation of The King of Kings, and the Lord of Lords.  From ancient times, Jewish scholars have always associated the Day of Rosh Hashana with the beginning of the Messianic Kingdom.  And for every kingdom, there must be a king, and this time it will be a Messianic King, as was promised even from as early as the book of Genesis. Jesus Christ will be crowned King of Kings and Lord of Lords as part of the festivities that we will witness, indeed -- be part of, after the rapture takes place.  Christians talk about the King, we sing about the King, but can you imagine what it is going to be like to actually be there to witness the ceremony and then to begin to understand the eminence of His reign, and that the government will be truly be a Godly government, and the head of the government will not be Republican nor Democrat, but rather a heavenly being, - - the very Son of God, Jesus the Messiah!  This is just another reason to choose Him now to be your Savior and King.

Chapter 11:      The Sabbath.  This chapter contains a very lively discussion on the Sabbath, not a choice of days, but the seventh day of the week, as God commanded.  The understanding of the Sabbath includes a prophetic road-map to the events of the past and the future.  Of course, it is not wrong to worship the Lord on Sunday, since this is a celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ and also of the coming of the Holy Spirit on the Feast of Pentecost.  We certainly want to celebrate these two events.  But let us not eliminate the understanding of The Sabbath.  Each week we should remember that as on the seventh day, God rested; and we, His children, shall also rest on the seventh day, as we will during the seventh millennium since creation.  The seventh day points, again, to our Blessed Hope, that of the Rapture and Messianic Reign of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Chapter 12:      Dealing with the Stubble.  Although we have the Rapture of Jesus Christ foremost in our minds, we have plenty to do while we “occupy until He comes.” [1]   The Bible is the most amazing book!  There is not one detail that we need to know that has been left out.  Everything is there for this journey of life with our final destination of heaven.  So what are we to do while we are still here?  We can begin by looking in the book of Zephaniah. We are to gather up the stubble to make bricks to build the kingdom of God.  The stubble that we are to find are the people who have not accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior.  We are to tell them about Jesus so that they are no longer part of the kingdom of darkness, but rather part of the kingdom of God.  In that way, we can build the kingdom of God.  But Satan tries to make it very hard for us to find stubble, and tries to thwart this work.  However, as we stand firm and quote the Word of God, that greater is He that is in me than He that is in the world, [2] we shall overcome.

Chapter 13:      The Apostasy and the Rapture.  While we are daily fighting the forces of evil in this life, a very interesting phenomena occurs as recorded in Second Thessalonians in which Paul speaks of that day.  This chapter discusses about what Paul speaks and the signs of the apostasy.  It also details what a person can do in order not to be drawn into this deception.  Truly the times have changed, and as we watch this social change, we have to understand that the rapture is imminent since all prophecies leading up to it have been fulfilled.

Chapter 14:      Thirds: Or What will We Do in the World of the Future?  God does many things in thirds, which He did in order to focus our attention on the idea of triads and His plan for the millennium.  Taken from a text in Second Kings, the plan of God is revealed.    This chapter deals with the raptured church, as well as those people who have given their hearts to God during the Great Tribulation and what will happen to them. These facts are searched out from the Scriptures within this chapter.  The consecration process of the priests is another event that will occur during the seven years after we have been raptured out of this world.  We are likened to priests in Revelation, but we do not know anything about fulfilling that position.  According to the book of Hebrews, the Old Testament priests are types and shadows of what is to come in the heavenly realm. The Old Testament describes when and how a priest is consecrated and this process is discussed within this chapter. 

Chapter 15:      The Offerings: God’s Code of Ethics.  An understanding of how we are to love the Lord God, and what kind of life we are to lead, becomes clearer when we understand the purpose of the offerings.  There are two kinds of sacrifices, the blood sacrifice of animals and the bloodless sacrifice of vegetables.  These offerings are discussed with the meanings that are appropriate to each, and are explored to more clearly understand the virtues that we should desire.   After reading this chapter you will be able to examine your own life more closely by using the fuller understanding of sin, and how quickly sin can entangle us.  God is a loving Father who wants only the best for His children.  The Word of God says that many have perished because of a lack of knowledge. [3]  Let us strive to not be part of that group of people.  Remember, life is God’s cryptogram, and He desires that we delve into the deeper meaning of His Word and events that surround us.

Chapter 16:      The Future Judicial System and Judgment.  The plan of God calls for the Christians to be priest and kings and to rule and reign with Jesus Christ on the earth for the thousand years of The Millennium.  This all sounds wonderful, but are Christians prepared for such a task?  To be a priest or a king requires some education as to the scope of the position.  One of the reasons that God gave us His Word was so that we could learn these things before the time comes so we can be ready for our assignment.  Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, prepared Himself for thirty years before He began to do the work that He came here to do, which is the work of His Father.  St. Paul advised the believer to study, [4] but too many people think that there is no need to study, because they believe that all the knowledge that will be needed will suddenly and supernaturally become apparent to them.  If it took Jesus, the very Son of God, thirty years to prepare for His ministry, we should understand that it takes time for us to learn and prepare for the ministry for which God has for us, whether here or in eternity.  Too many Christians, in their zeal to work for the Lord, fail to prepare for the ministry that God has equipped them.  To be equipped, and to be prepared are two different concepts.  For example, a soldier in the military may be equipped with the best gear that the world has known.  But if he fails to prepare himself with the knowledge of how to use the gear, his mission probably will not be successful.  This chapter deals with the knowledge that the Word of God provides the believer in order to prepare and equip oneself for the mission that God has for us.

[1]   Luke 19:13 And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.

[2]    1 John 4:4   Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.  (Emphasis added mine).

[3]  Hosea 4:6   My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

[4]  2 Timothy 2:15  Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
