2 There is something of value for everyone at every level. The material contained in the BIBLE is but a fraction of the original writ-ings from which it was selected. The Biblical writings are revealed Truth which was preserved by word of mouth and gradually became written litera-ture, the work of many spiritually minded authors. Later, groups of theolo-gians made the selections which we think of as the BIBLE , deciding, according to their individual prejudices, what they judged worthy of keeping, what they would discard. For example, the Apocrypha, which is incorporated in the Vulgate, is generally omitted in Protestant versions of the BIBLE . The discov-ery of the Dead Sea Scrolls also gives evidence that much material was omit-ted from the BIBLE as we know it. Various BIBLE concordances, encyclopedias, and dictionaries were used in researching the original meanings of the proper names. The secret code was revealed to me as a gradual unfoldment during twenty years of BIBLE teaching.

3 I am particularly indebted to the Unity School of Christianity at Lee s Summit, Missouri, for their excellent Metaphysical BIBLE Dictionary. Great credit goes to my wife, Cornelia, whose enthusiasm and persis-tence in pursuing this idea kept us working for the twelve years that it took to write this book. Without her endless work on the manuscript, it would not have been accomplished. I am also indebted to my many students who, year after year, begged for copies of the material presented in my classes and for a 4book on the subject, thus prompting me to put the material down in written form. I wish to express grateful appreciation to Frances Brown who has been tireless in typing and retyping this manuscript and to Stella Terrill Mann whose encouragement, after carefully studying the manuscript, gave us a new incentive. Others who read the manuscript and gave helpful suggestions were Cornelia W. Sherman and Suzanne Huntzinger.

4 5 INTRODUCTION This book had to be written. The need compelled it. The largest selling book in the English language is the BIBLE ; and, yet, few people understand what it has to say. Because of this need, various translations have altered the original King James Version published in 1611. Some were helpful in certain areas, but mostly they tended to lose the beautiful mystical feeling underlying the words of the King James Version. In each generation there have been those who felt that the language of the BIBLE was archaic, that it should be modern-ized. Modernizing the language helped some to better understand the BIBLE in a literal, or historic, way, but left large areas completely misunderstood, es-pecially those areas where an understanding of symbols, parables, allegories and such are required. The BIBLE is a compilation of treatises on nearly every facet of man s life.

5 Within its covers modern psychology will find all that it has to teach. It is the ultimate philosophy. It shows us how to commune with the unseen Power within each one of us. It shows us how to take dominion in our lives through the use of the Power. It is the story of every man in his journey through life, his mental and spiritual growth. The obstacles and problems he meets are presented in an understandable way. The mystics of the ages have rather sensed than interpreted the deep esoteric meanings HIDDEN within certain words of the BIBLE . Never before has a usable, workable key been presented. I humbly offer it here that the BIBLE may become a more understandable book, not just a book for the religious but a guidebook for every man. It may ultimately become man s greatest pos-session, the answer book for every problem that can ever come into his expe-rience. That which I have to offer began with the discovery that modern-day readers were completely overlooking the meanings behind certain proper names of people and places, continually featured in Biblical writing, mean-ings that the ancient writers had taken for granted and assumed would always be understood.

6 I found that certain numbers and common words had a repeti-tious use and that when their symbolic or esoteric meaning was understood, they opened up entirely new avenues of wisdom and understanding. Herein lies the key to the HIDDEN mysteries that have been concealed in the BIBLE for so many years. 6 The first five books of the BIBLE , known as the Torah or Pentateuch, contain the foundation for the teaching of the entire Book. Once a basis of understanding is found for these five books, the balance of the BIBLE can be understood easily. I have felt absolutely driven to write this book. For years I had at-tempted to come to grips with the BIBLE . While I gained inspiration and in-sight from reading it, it was not until I found the key to the inner meaning that I began to grasp the wisdom contained there. I did not attempt to become a student of the Hebrew, Greek, or Aramaic, because I found that interpreta-tions in BIBLE concordances, in BIBLE indexes, and BIBLE dictionaries, availa-ble to everyone, made this unnecessary.

7 Once certain key words were unders-tood, I found them to be used in the same way consistently throughout the books of the BIBLE . Thus, the interpretation for one story provided a backlog of understanding for others. The BIBLE is presented on three levels. There is something for everyone. On the obvious level there is history, rules of conduct, and beautiful litera-ture; on the mental level there is enough philosophy to challenge the student forever; but on the spiritual level there is a whole new world of discovery awaiting the reader. Once the key to the deeper meaning is understood, one is able to enjoy the BIBLE without frustration. The stories of Job and Jehosha-phat interpreted in this book are found to be great psychological dramas. I would not disturb anyone s thinking about the BIBLE , only open up new avenues for fresh discovery of the great Truths that lie therein. The BIBLE basically is a book of spiritual Truth.

8 The things of the spirit are discerned by the spirit. There is something within each one that responds to the inner meaning, even though he may not know just what it is. We cannot remove the mysteries from the BIBLE any more than we can remove the MYSTERY of life. The BIBLE is the book of life your life and my life. It exudes a beauty and vitality that cannot be explained in mere words. The MYSTERY of the Spirit will always bring its power into those who are seek-ing Truth through the BIBLE . By understanding the true meaning of the words and symbols, this power becomes more readily available. The great Invisible gives us a strength and an understanding beyond our knowing. Who can ever explain completely the MYSTERY of God under-girding the life in which we live? The BIBLE , once the deeper meanings are understood, even in a measure, shows us how the MYSTERY of God unfolds in the life and experience of each one of us.

THE PSALMS A PROVING GROUND FOR THE CODE 207 Glossary 215 8 9 Chapter 1 WHAT THE BIBLE CAN MEAN TO YOU The BIBLE is the most important book that has ever been published. It has had more influence on history and has affected more people s lives than any other book.

10 It was not written by one person but, through divine Inspiration, it is the compilation of the thoughts and ideas of many whose words were passed down from generation to generation by mouth and by scroll. It did not receive publication for hundreds of years after the original words were conceived. Today we think of the BIBLE as being a part of the household of the Christian world. It is printed in many languages and each year more Bibles are sold than any other book, but few are read in comparison to the numbers sold. Many people feel that they ought to read it and try, but they give up because they do not understand it. Many of those who do read it take it literally, with-out knowing the inner meaning, and miss the best part. How Some Have Studied the BIBLE There are many people who devote their lives to studying the BIBLE . Some study it as history. Some try to prove its authenticity from an archeological viewpoint.
