The Bible is a mystery ultimately unlocked and interpreted by The Spirit of God. It is a "Code Book" the understanding of which is hidden in parables. It is said of Jesus,

"All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them; that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world."

On another occasion Jesus said: "the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life." This to say, that the mystery of God's word is hidden in a code unlocked only by the Spirit of God.

Messiah means the "Anointed One." This speaks of the anointing of The Spirit of God. Only The Anointed One, The Christ, The Messiah can explain the parables where they really matter, that is for the understanding of our minds, and hearts.

What's written here is of little use, except we understand: The Messiah Code, In the pages that follow, we will be paying particular attention to "GOLD The 2nd Parable."

There are two parables that are particularly important for our understanding, the 2nd one is the parable of the "good" gold of the land of Havilah, and the 1st one is the parable of male and female, the sexual parable. These two parables are intertwined from the beginning of the Scriptures to the end.

As it happens, there is a rather interesting statement written in the novel, "Atlas Shrugged." It is a statement that sees the connection between the two subjects, gold and sex, but in context comes up somewhat short of full understanding, what might be called Biblical "knowing:"

"Do you remember what I said about money and about the men who seek to reverse the law of cause and effect? The men who try to replace the mind by seizing the products of the mind? Well, the man who despises himself tries to gain self esteem from sexual adventures-which can't be done, because sex is not the cause, but an effect and an expression of a man's sense of his own value."

It is absolutely vital that we understand these two parables. Not to get the point is to be ultimately lost.

About the cover

The cover background is an engraving by Gustave Dore (1832-1883) of a well-known scene from the Bible, perhaps best know as "Adam and Eve Driven Out of Eden" This is the place of transition from one parable to another, from intimacy with no scarcity to flawed intimacy with scarcity. Enter the need for Gold. As it happened, they were driven out to the east. The Land of Havilah was East of Eden, and there we find the first thing God called good after creation, Gold.
