It Is No Secret!

KEY FROM GOD’S WORD:

2 Peter 1:20
Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.

 

THOUGHTS ON GOD’S WORD:

     Here in the first decade of the 21st century, we have seen and heard of books and so-called theologians who have made claims that there is a code in the Bible. They say that somehow in the Torah, the Hebrew version of the Old Testament, if you skip three letters and pick up the next one, you will come up with hidden biblical messages. They also claim the people who wrote those books put a code in there with hidden messages.

 

     There are a few problems with this philosophy. One, The Torah was not written in English. It was written primarily in Hebrew. So, how do these people claim to find a code from an English translation of the Bible? Second, which English version of the scripture do you need to use to get the right code? If you use NIV or NAS, you will have different words. Third, if you will use the King James Bible, you will find in 2 Peter 1:20 it says that “no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.” In other words, it says, “There are NO CODES.” The other versions say it was not by man’s interpretation. This could mean about the same, however, it leaves out the fact that there is no secrecy to the word of God.

 

     Not only was it not man’s interpretation, but it was also not private. God intended for all men everywhere to know the truth. If these folks who write these books would spend as much time obeying the written Word of God as they do trying to sell books and finding some hidden meaning, this world would be a much better place.

 

CARRYING THAT THOUGHT THROUGH THE DAY:

 

     Therefore, I guess if you like to spend a lot of time reading things that are just not so, grab one of those code books, get a cup of hot chocolate, and read a good fiction book. However, if you really want a blessing, grab a good old King James Bible and read the Real Word Of God.

 

Why do you think people are trying to find some
secret message in the pages of God’s Word?

 

IF YOU ARE JOURNALING:

Ask yourself, what are MY THOUGHTS concerning this Passage and today’s Devotion?

 

Do I find within this reading a CHALLENGE for my life?

 

What are one or two things I WILL DO today or this week to accept that CHALLENGE?
