“A very little key will open a very heavy door.”

Charles Dickens, “Hunted Down”

---

The construction of the graphical key was completed in the previous section, “The Key”.

The next step appears to be using the graphical Key to extract a numerical key that will then be used to decode the text of the message that follows the word “TRUTH”, which was found using the standard moves of a Knight in the game of chess. At first, one might be tempted to start drawing the Key on every page of the Bible to extract certain letters, but this is not really practical.

The creators of this code undoubtedly knew that time would not be kind to the pages of the Bible and that the pages would likely become warped and distorted over the years, making a graphical Key difficult to use. In fact, a great deal of precision would be required to accurately select specific letters across multiple pages on a consistent basis. This level of accuracy would be difficult to achieve the day after the Bible was printed, not to mention years later. Having the Key select specific letters very close to the serpents would have a reasonable expectation of accuracy after many years, but the farther away the text is from the serpents, the more difficult it is to maintain accuracy.

The dimensions that were used to draw the Key might have information that will be helpful in using the Key. The total value of the length, breadth, and height dimensions is 688.

LENGTH THREE HUNDRED CUBITS BREADTH FIFTY CUBITS HEIGHT THIRTIE CUBITS = 688

688 – 666 = 22

The value 22 could refer to a particular line of text and what is to be selected on that line.

While selecting certain letters may be too difficult on a large scale, the three floors of the Arke can easily select specific lines of text. There were two types of animals that entered into the Arke, clean and unclean. Seven of each clean animal and two of each unclean animal were taken into the Arke. Relating the animals to the vertical lines drawn is only part of the solution. The clean animals, or lines, might be viewed as lines that pass through the Arke, or Key, without intersecting anything else. In other words, there are seven lines that do not intersect anything and pass cleanly through the Arke. The two unclean animals would be represented by two lines that intersect the Key.

The Bible also says that the Male and Female of each clean and unclean animal were taken into the Arke. As shown in the first part of The Key, the upward and downward pointing triangles hidden in the shape of the Key, represent the alchemical symbols for Male and Female. Using the value 22 above, the two lines intersect the upper, middle, and lower stories of the Arke, which are part of the symbols for male and female.

As drawn on the first page of Revelation, the upper floor of the Key selects the second line of text on page 1 of Revelation. The intersections of the serpent lines with this line of text selects two very unlikely letters. The two unclean lines are highlighted yellow in Figure 1. The unclean lines are numbers 6 and 7, with a total value of 13, the same number of letters in “The Revelation”.

The Unclean Female Beasts

The two intersection points of interest fall directly over the last letter of “beginning” and first letter of “ending” as shown in Figure 2.

Matthew 20:16 also expresses this concept,

So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many bee called, but fewe chosen.

Taking a closer look at the line of text where the serpent lines intersect the beginning and ending letters. reveals some rather interesting information as shown in Figure 3.

The possible clues contained in this line are listed below.

• The header text at the top of the page says “First and Last”.
• Jesus is the First and the Last
• First letter of the line is “G=7”, and last letter is “D=4”, “GD”= 74 = JESUS. This could be a hint to use the first and last letters of each line.
• First letter of “GINNING” is “G=7” and last letter is “G=7”, “GG” = 77 = CHRIST
• “GINNING” = 74 = JESUS
• 13 letters from beginning of the line to “ENDING”.
• 18 letters from “ENDING” to the end of the line.
• 13:18 related to Revelation 13:18 and the number 666.
• 13 X 18 = 234 and 234 + 432 = 666
• The two words between “Ginning” and “ending” are, “AND THE” = 52

The Unclean Male Beasts

The same two lines intersect the last letter of “eyes” and the first letter of “a” on the lower Male floor in Figure 4.

The main clue here appears to be the value of the two words, combined with the total letter count.

“EYES A” = 55

5 Letters with a value of 55, might be a clue to look for the number 555.

The number 555 makes sense for several reasons. First, 555 is veiled representation of the number 666. The first letter of “FIVE” is “F”, which has a value of 6, so “FFF” = 666.

The second reason that 555 is an important number is because the height of the Washington Monument in Washington, DC is 555 feet. It is actually a few inches taller than 555 feet, but the published height at completion, was 555 feet. The Washington Monument and its height will play an integral role in locating the Ark of God.

Additional information contained in this line of text can be found by looking closer at the letters and their positions in the line, see Figure 5.

First and Last Words, “HIS FIRE” = 74 = JESUS
First and Last Letters, “HE” = 13

The letter “M=13” in position 18 implies 13 X 18 = 234
The letter “R=18” in position 24 implies 18 X 24 = 432
234 + 432 = 666

The three F’s, highlighted blue, create an encoded form of 666, because “F = 6”

“FLAME” = 37
“F” in “FLAME” is in position 15.
15 X 37 = 555
Also combining to get 1537, which will confirm the overall value of the selected text on Revelation Page 1.

The second selected letter, “A”, is 13 Characters form the end, including the period.
This might imply that counting the punctuation is required.

“WERE” is italicized in the Bible, which could mean this word needs to be treated differently.
“WERE” = 51. and has four letters.
51 + 4 = 55. There are 5 words after “WERE”, possibly giving the number 555.
This could be a clue to add the number of letters in italicized words.

The 7th letter is “S”, which is followed by the 4 letters “WERE”.
“S WERE” = 70, adding 4 letters for the italicized “WERE” gives the number 74 or JESUS.

The last words and punctuation of each line are “Lord.”, “Asia,”, and “fire,”.
The total count of letters and punctuation in the three words, is 555.

The Combined Unclean Male and Female Beasts

The middle floor of the Arke can be viewed as the union of Male and Female because it is defined by the intersection points of the Male and Female triangles, as shown in Figure 6.

The lines intersect over the letter “e” in “seuen” and “c” in “Churches”. Figure 7 show the selected text and letter counts from the beginning and end.

There are 7 words and 30 letters. Add to get 7 + 30 = 37
37 X 18 = 666
37 X 24 = 888

Use selected letters to get 888
7th letter is “E = 5”, combine to get 75.
“C = 3” is 18the letter from the end, combine to get 318. Reverse to get 813.
75 + 813 = 888

The unclean Male and Female lines intersected text in verses 8 and 14, which can be combined to get the number 814. Adding the value of JESUS produces an interesting confirmation of these two lines of text.

8 + 14 = 22 – Recall that 22 was the number obtained form the dimensions of the Arke, earlier.

8 + 14 = 814 + 74 = 888 = JESUS in Greek.

Also, Adding the values of the verses from 8 to 14 produces another good confirmation and clue.

8 + 9 + 10 + 11 + 12 + 13 + 14 = 77 = CHRIST

The Left Column

So far, the focus has been on the right column of text, but the middle and lower floors of the Arke also select lines of text on the left side of the page. The upper floor does not align with text in the left column. Figure 8 shows the unclean beasts, lines 6 and 7 counted from the end, entering the Arke.

The Unclean Male and Female in the Left Column

Figure 9 shows a close up of the middle line of text in the left column on page 1 of Revelation.

This line of text appears to repeat the clue from earlier that told us to add the number of letters found in the italicized words. Figure 10 shows the letters selected by the intersection of the floor and beast lines, along with some relevant letter counts.

The italicized word “IT” = 29.
There are 29 letters between the two capitalized A’s in “And” and “Angel”
“And Angel” = 58
58 + 29 = 87 = TRUTH
“it” has two letters and the capitalized letter A’s have a total value of 2.
This could be a clue that the number of letters in the italicized words is added to the gematria value.

“And he sent and signified it” = 220
220 + 2 = 222
There are three words after “it”.
3 X 222 = 666
This provides a second confirmation of adding the number of italicized letters to the gematria value.

The letters selected by the beast lines are “D” and “I”, which have a value of 13.

From “D” to “I”, “d it by hi” = 77 = CHRIST
7 letters and 4 words, also give the number 74 = JESUS

Look at 13:18
13 letters from beginning and 18 letters from the end.
“ASNL” = 46
46 = 13 + 18 = 77 = CHRIST

The total value of the 13:18 letters with 2 added for the italicized “it” is,
“And he sent and s” + “nified it by his Angel” + 2 = 308

Since 13 X 18 = 234, look at the difference between 234 and the total value of the letters.

306 – 234 = 74 = JESUS

Once again, this confirms adding the number of italicized letters to the gematria value, which is one of many needed rules to develop the Key.

The Unclean Male Beasts in The Left Column

Figure 11 shows a close up of the lower line of text in the left column on page 1 of Revelation.

This line of text will, among other things, tell us what to do with the verse number. It should be noted here that “JESUS” is spelled with an “I” instead of a “J” throughout the King James Bible. While the correct spelling will be used, the modified version is also important. The line of text is shown in Figure 12.

The line that passes through the center of JESUS CHRIST is interesting.

“JESUS CHRIST” = 151, and there are a total of 151 characters that are selected on the three floors of Revelation Page 1.

This will be explored in more detail in the next sections.

There are 5 italicized letters in this line, “WHO IS” = 74 = JESUS

The 5 letters could be related to the verse number 5 in some way, possibly to suggest that the number is treated in a manner similar to the italicized letters.

The initials, or capitalized letters of Jesus Christ, “JC = 13”, however, “IC” = 12

This could be an indication to look at the 13 letters from the beginning and end of the text because Jesus is the first and last.

The 13 letters (numbers) from beginning and end are,

“5 AND FROM IESUS” + “HRIST, WHO IS THE” = 325

Follow the rule of adding one for the italicized letters, punctuation. If “2” is added for the number, then an interesting result is found.

Add 1 for punctuation comma
Add 5 for each letter in “WHO IS” Italics
Add 2 for digit 5

“5 AND FROM IESUS” + “HRIST, WHO IS THE” + 8 = 333

Omitted letter “C” at the center = 3

333 X 3 = 999, the inverted mirror image of 666.

This might confirm addition of 2 for each numerical digit or verse number, and 1 each punctuation mark, and italicized letter.

A similar result can be obtained if “IESUS” is replaced with “JESUS”.

The 13 letters (numbers) from beginning and end are,

“5 AND FROM JESUS” + “HRIST, WHO IS THE” = 326

Follow the rule of adding one for the italicized letters, punctuation. If “1” is added for the number, then an interesting result is found.

Add 1 for punctuation comma
Add 5 for each letter in “WHO IS” Italics
Add 1 for digit 5

“5 AND FROM JESUS” + “HRIST, WHO IS THE” + 7 = 333

If the results from both “IESUS” and “JESUS” are added together, the number 666 could indicate that both approaches are possibly correct.

The 13th character from the end of the line is “R = 18”, producing the number 13:18 again. This same method will be used to confirm the first page needed for the key in the next section.

The first 18 letters are,

“AND FROM IESUS CHRIST” = 221

Followed by three words, 221 X 3 = 663

If “JESUS” is used, the value is 666.

The total Value of letters in the line is 329.

“AND FROM IESUS CHRIST WHO IS THE” = 328

Sum the total gematria value of the line to a single digit.

3 + 2 + 8 = 13

13 could indicate that the digits of a number are to be added together.

The Complete Unclean Text

In this section, I will explore the text selected by the unclean beast lines entering the Arke on all rows in both columns.

Listed from the top of the right column to the end of the left column, the letters between the two beast lines are as follows with each line separated by a colon.

g and the e : en Churc : s were as a : d it by hi : Christ w

There are a total of 16 Words and 37 letters.

16 X 37 = 592

666 – 592 = 74 = JESUS

The value 666 and JESUS related tot he letter and word count, confirms that the selected text is correct.

The total gematria value of the selected letters is 404

“g and the e en Churc s were as a d it by hi Christ w” = 404

The value of “JESUS CHRIST” = 151

Adding “JESUS CHRIST” to the text selected by the unclean beast lines provides the desired target number, 555.

“g and the e en Churc s were as a d it by hi Christ w” + “JESUS CHRIST” = 404 + 151 = 555

Using the correct spelling of “JESUS”, the complete text on the three lines selected by the three floors of the Arke are shown below with the left column listed first.

And he sent and signified it by his Angel
5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the

ginning and the ending, saith the Lord.
The seuen Churches which are in Asia,
his eyes were as a flame of fire,

There are a total of 151 characters, which is the value of JESUS CHRIST.

The total standard gematria value is 1537

15 X 37 = 555, repeating the importance of this number.

Summary of the Rules

In order to correctly navigate the seemingly chaotic structure of the Key, a set of rules are needed in order to correctly interpret the clues. The rules that have been identifies so far are listed below. It is possible that two sets of Rules are in use, each set based on the use of “IESUS” and “JESUS” in the last line of the left column.

The Rules Set 1 with “IESUS”

• Use standard gematria.
• Use the concept of First and Last
• Add 2 for each numerical digit or verse number, regardless of value.
• Add 1 for each punctuation mark.
• Add 1 for each italicized letter in the text.
• Use the first and last words and/or letters.
• Repeatedly sum the digits of the gemaria value to a single digit.
• Look for the values of “JESUS” = 74, “CHRIST” = 77, “JESUS CHRIST” = 151
• Look for 13:18, or 18:24
• Look for 555, in addition to 666, 777, 888, and 999.

The Rules Set 2 with “JESUS”

• Use standard gematria.
• Use the concept of First and Last
• Add 1 for each numerical digit or verse number, regardless of value.
• Add 1 for each punctuation mark.
• Add 1 for each italicized letter in the text.
• Use the first and last words and/or letters.
• Repeatedly sum the digits of the gemaria value to a single digit.
• Look for the values of “JESUS” = 74, “CHRIST” = 77, “JESUS CHRIST” = 151
• Look for 13:18, or 18:24
• Look for 555, in addition to 666, 777, 888, and 999.

The Three Floors of The Arke

The three floors of the Arke intersect three lines of text on the first page of Revelation, shown in Figure 13 by the red lines. The next step is to apply the rules developed in the previous sections to the full lines of text selected by the Key on page 1 of Revelation.

The three lines of text are tabulated in Figure 14 (Click image to enlarge).

Figure 15 is the same as Figure 15, but with “JESUS” spelled correctly.

Figure 16 compares various elements of the key text values using the two spelling of “JESUS” in Figures 14 and 15.

The “IESUS” version appears to be the correct path, while the “JESUS” version appears to offer clues that may be useful later on.

Next, apply the rules developed earlier to the key text of Revelation page 1. Adding 1 for each punctuation mark, 1 for each italicized letter, and 2 for each verse number, produces the result in Figure 17.

A nearly identical result can be found using “JESUS” and the second set of Rules with one being added for the verse number in Figure 18.

A few interesting numbers can be found in the selected text that could be potential clues.

• The total gematria values of each line are summed to a single digit. The number 555 is highlighted in yellow.
• 555 is the number that was repeatedly hinted at in the previous sections. It appears to be the confirmation that the rules and methodology are correct.
• The total value of the left column is 660, 6 less than 666.
• The total value of the right column is 894, or 6 more than 888.
• 660 + 894 = 1554 = 666 + 888
• 894 – 660 = 234, which is a reference to 13:18

The first page of the Key

The first page of Revelation is basically the Key to the Key. In other words, it appears to be telling us how to find and interpret the Key, but it is not the Key. The second line in the right column of Page 1 appears to provide clues for finding the pages that will be used for the actual Key. Going back to Figure 3, the last 18 letters of the second line of text appear to be pointing to the 18th page from the beginning of the ending book of the Bible, Revelation. The 18th page of Revelation is also the last page of the Bible, shown in Figure 18. “The Reuelation” = 13 letters. Combined with page 19, the number 13:18 also points to the last page of Revelation.

The headers for Page 1 and Page 18 of Revelation provide a potential confirmation that the 18th page is correct.

As written the value of the combined headers is:

“King and Priests. Chap.j. First and Last.” + “The water of life Reuelation. Is offered freely.” = 778

In the header of Page 1, “Chap.j.” should really be “Chap.i.”, which changes the value of the combined headers to 777.

“King and Priests. Chap.i. First and Last.” + “The water of life Reuelation. Is offered freely.” = 777

A potential confirmation that the last page is one of the two required for the Key, is the header text at the top of the page. The standard gematria value of the header text, as written, is 431. If the ‘u’ in “Reuelation” is replaced by the correct letter, ‘v’, the value becomes 432. The difference of one between the two values might be a clue that one more page is needed.

“The water of life. Reuelation. is offered freely.” = 431

“The water of life. Revelation. is offered freely.” = 432

So, where is the second page? And what do we do with them once we have them?

It looks like the second page is not as easy to find as the first one. We might have to go through the entire Bible and check the value of the header text on each page until we find one with a value that gives the number 666, 888, or maybe even 999, when added to the value of the first page, 432.

There is another possible clue in the header that might help.

Recall that the first and last letters of the line of text in Figure 2 above were ‘G’ and ‘D’, which gives the number 74, or JESUS.

The word ‘Reuelation’ hides the secret. Count 7 letters from the beginning and 4 letters from the end, to identify the letter ‘T’ as shown in Figure 20.

This letter is important because it reveals the required number to find 666 using the header of the last page of Revelation. The value of all the letters from the beginning of the header to the letter ‘T’ is 235.

“THE WATER OF LIFE REUELAT” = 235

Adding this number to the value of the full header equals 666.

“THE WATER OF LIFE REUELATION IS OFFERED FREELY” + “THE WATER OF LIFE REUELAT” = 666

A similar result can be obtained by reversing the letter count in ‘Reuelation’, as shown in Figure 21.

The value from the ‘E’ to the end of the header is 234.

“ELATION IS OFFERED FREELY” = 234

Added to the total value of the header with the letter ‘V’ in Revelation is 666.

“THE WATER OF LIFE REVELATION IS OFFERED FREELY” + “ELATION IS OFFERED FREELY” = 666

In both cases, there are a total of 13 words and 61 letters that produce the value 666.

13 + 61 = 74 = JESUS

This appears to offer a confirmation of these arrangements.

Referring back to Figure 16, the tabulated values of text selected by the Key on page 1 of Revelation, the difference between the two columns of text with “JESUS” confirms the value 235 that is needed to add to the header of Page 18 to get 666. When the “U” was replaced with a “V”, the value 234 was needed to get 666.

So, what does 234 or 235 mean? Maybe we have to find a header somewhere in the Bible that has the value 234 or 235, or maybe it is page 234 or 235, counted from some point.

There is a very subtle connection between the number 234/235, the letters “U & V”, and possibly the text on page 1 of Revelation. 235 might be a hint that the letter “U” needs to be replaced with the letter “V”. Taking another look at Revelation Page 1 seems to be in order.

Revelation Page 1 (Again!)

The letter “U” is found three times in the Key text on Page 1. Since “U = 21”, 3 X 21 = 63, which can be interpreted to be 666. Figure 22 shows the effect on the values of Page 1 when one is added for each occurrence of the letter “U”.

Again a similar result is obtained with “JESUS” and Rule Set 2, in Figure 23.

There are several really strong confirmations that adding one for each “U”, or effectively changing “U” to “V”, is correct.

• The number 235, highlighted blue, can be found in the right column “Total Added” to each line.
• Highlighted green, the single digit summation for the right and left columns give the value 666
• 94 + 572 = 666
• Highlighted purple, the number pair 13:18 can be seen.
• The difference between the right and left column “Total Line Values”, highlighted orange, is 235
• 896 – 661 = 235
• The total added for Punctuation, Italics, Numbers, and “U” 11 in the left column and 10 in the right column. 11 + 10 = 21 = U
• Subtracting the number added from the single digit total, highlighted yellow, produces the number 555 again.
• 576 – 21 = 555

The Rules Including the Letter “U”

The Rules Set 1 with “IESUS”

• Use standard gematria.
• Use the concept of First and Last
• Add 1 for each punctuation mark.
• Add 1 for each italicized letter in the text.
• Add 1 for each letter “U”.
• Add 2 for each numerical digit or verse number, regardless of value.
• Use the first and last words and/or letters.
• Repeatedly sum the digits of the gemaria value to a single digit.
• Look for the values of “JESUS” = 74, “CHRIST” = 77, “JESUS CHRIST” = 151
• Look for 13:18, or 18:24
• Look for 555, in addition to 666, 777, 888, and 999.

The Rules Set 2 with “JESUS”

• Use standard gematria.
• Use the concept of First and Last
• Add 1 for each punctuation mark.
• Add 1 for each italicized letter in the text.
• Add 1 for each letter “U”.
• Add 1 for each numerical digit or verse number, regardless of value.
• Use the first and last words and/or letters.
• Repeatedly sum the digits of the gemaria value to a single digit.
• Look for the values of “JESUS” = 74, “CHRIST” = 77, “JESUS CHRIST” = 151
• Look for 13:18, or 18:24
• Look for 555, in addition to 666, 777, 888, and 999.

The two sets of Rules for adding to the gematria value can be organized in such a manner that a very important correlation with the Maranatha puzzle is revealed. One of the earliest “mistakes” found in the book was the incorrect page numbers for four of the section in the book. The Index or Table of Contents listed the wrong page number in four sections. The difference between the listed page number and the correct page number was 2, 2, 2, and 3 pages. This same number is obtained in Figure 24, using the four rules that add to the gematria values of the text.

A more detailed explanation of the Index mistake and how it confirms the rules and the text on Revelation Page 1, see the following page, “Maranatha Confirms The Rules”

The Second Page of The Key

The last page of Revelation was found by counting 18 pages from the beginning of the end, which was the last book of the Bible. Is it 234/235 pages from the end of the beginning? If so what is the beginning? Genesis only has 58 pages, so counting forward 234/235 pages from the end of Genesis would not work.

The first page of Genesis is the 77th page of the Bible, and 77 = CHRIST.

The Pentateuch, or first five books of the Bible are Genesis, Exodus, Leuiticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomie. Genesis begins with ‘G = 7’ and Deuteronomie begins with ‘D = 4’. This gives the number 74 = JESUS.

The Pentateuch ends on page 308 of the Bible. Counting 234 pages from page 308 in reverse order, ends on page 74, JESUS again.

Pages 74 and 75 of the Bible contain a map of CANAAN, which would be difficult to use with the graphical key, but is a possibility.

The first seven books of the Bible, as spelled in the King James, are Genesis, Exodus, Leuiticus, Numbers, Deuteronomie, Ioshua, and Iudges. The total gematria value is 659.

GENESIS EXODUS LEUITICUS NUMBERS DEUTERONOMIE IOSHUA IUDGES = 659

The seven books have a total value of 659 and,

659 + 7 = 666

This could be an indication that the first seven books are the beginning of the Bible.

The first word of Genesis is ‘IN’, and the last word of Judges is ‘EYES’.

‘IN’ + ‘EYES’ = 77 = CHRIST

Going back to Figure 2 again, The seven letters of “GINNING” = 74 = JESUS. Jesus is the first and last. The first and last letters are “GG”, which can be interpreted as 77 = CHRIST. The 7 letters combined with the 77 first and last letters, matches the 7 books with the first and last words having a value of 77. This provides confirmation that the first seven books of the Bible represent the beginning, and the last page of Judges represents the end of the beginning. So, the second page required for the Key should be located from this point.

The 13 letters in Figure 2 include two words after “GINNING”. The two words are “AND THE”.

“AND THE” = 52

The last page of Judges is the 364th page of the King James Bible. Counting 52 pages from the end of the beginning, or the last page of Judges, indicates that page 416 might be the next page. Page 416 is part of II Samuel, Chapter XI, as shown in Figure 25.

The first confirmation that this might be the correct page is the 13th letter of the header. The 13th letter is ‘R’, which has a value of 18. This gives the number pair 13:18, which matches the beginning and ending letter count in Figure 2 and is also a reference to 666.

The capitalized letters of “II Samuel” and “Reuelation” provide another confirmation that these are the two correct pages.

IIS = 37
R = 18
37 X 18 = 666

From the beginning of Genesis, the II Samuel page is page number 340. The total value of the header is also 340.

“Dauids adulterie, II.Samuel. and murder.” = 340

Looking at the complete headers of the two pages, reveals additional confirmations.

“Dauids adulterie, II.Samuel. and murder.”+ “The water of life Reuelation. is offered freely.”

• There are a total of 77 characters in the combined headers of the two Key pages. 71 letters, and 6 punctuation marks.
• The total value of the 71 letters is 771.
• Adding the 6 punctuation marks, 771 + 6 = 777.
• “GINNING” is 7 letters; the first and last letters are 7 and 7, implying the number 777.

The first word on Samuel is “RAEL” and the last word on Revelation is “AMEN”.

• The total gematria value is “RAEL” + “AMEN” = 69.
• There are a total of 8 letters, and 69 + 8 = 77.

The first and last words on each page also confirm the selected pages.

II Samueal: RAEL WAS = 7 letters
Reuelation: FOR AMEN = 7 letters

A total of 7 letters at the beginning and end of each page can be interpreted as 77.

The first and last letters of the first and last words are,

RL WS FR AN = 111

8 letters: 111 X 8 = 888 = JESUS

JESUS is the First and the Last

Another possible clue might be in these four words. Using a concept of repeatedly adding the digits of a number together until a single digit remains, could be one way to direct the knight moves through the text after “TRUTH”. Using the first and last leters of each first and last word, the following result is obtained,

RAEL = R + L = 18 + 12 = 30 = 3 + 0 = 3
WAS = W + S = 23 + 19 = 42 = 4 + 2 = 6
FOR = F + R = 6 + 18 = 24 = 2 + 4 = 6
AMEN = A + N = 1 + 14 = 15 = 1 + 5 + 6

Note that the first number is 3 and the last three numbers are 6, producing the number 666 as either a confirmation of the first and last words, and/or a clue for the next steps.

The end of the beginning and the beginning of the end.

This was on of the primary messages of the text selected by the Key in Figure 2.

Applying this concept to the first and last words of the two pages could provide information on how to use the Key, as shown in Figure 26.

13 X 32 = 416, the page in II Samuel is the 416th page of the Bible

1332 = 2 X 666

---

Not counting the Apocrypha, the books between the old and new testaments, there are a total of 876 pages from page 416 to the last page of Revelation, inclusive.

876 + 12 = 888 = JESUS

The number 12 could be another clue, because the Key should select a total of 12 letters or words at the beginning and end of each line of text on these two pages.

II Samuel begins on page 405. Not counting the Apocrypha, there are exactly 888 pages from the beginning of II Samuel to the last page of Revelation. Page 416 is the 12th page of II Samuel.

Now that the two Key pages have been identified, the next step is to draw the Key on the two pages and extract the required text.

The development of the Key will continue in The Key – Part 3.
