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

Charles Dickens, “Hunted Down”

The Key is drawn on Page 416 in Figure 1.

The Key is drawn on the last page of Revelation in Figure 2.

The three lines of text from both pages are shown in Table 1 (Click table to Enlarge).

The 83 total words in each version are also a potential confirmation and or clue. 83 can also be viewed as the number 8 three times, or 888, the value of JESUS in Greek.

Note that the 83 words are achieved because the colon in line 1 of the Revelation page appears to have a space between each adjacent word. The colon also provides another potential confirmation. The colon is the 9th word on line 1 of the Revelation Key text. The remaining words in both pages total 74, or the value of JESUS.

9 X 74 = 666

Now things really start to get interesting. Recall from The Key – Part 2 that the number 666 was found two different ways in the header for the first page of Revelation. The first 666 used “Reuelation” spelled with a ‘U’ as it is written in the header. Te second 666 was found by replacing the ‘U’ with a ‘V’. The king James Bible used ‘U’ and ‘V’ somewhat interchangeably. The two values of 666 are repeated below with the differences highlighted red.

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

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

The total value of the Key text in Tables 1 and 2 is 3,555. adding the header of Revelation page 1 gives the value 3,986

3,555 + “THE WATER OF LIFE REUELATION IS OFFERED FREELY” = 3,986

There are nine U’s in the key text and one U in Reuelation. If the 10 U’s are changed to ‘V’, then the total value of the key text and page 1 header becomes 3.996. This number is important because it is 6 times 666.

3,996 = 6 X 666

This is a very strong confirmation that the Key text from the two pages above is correct.

So, now that the correct Key text appears to have been found, what next?

The most logical next step would be to apply the two sets of rules established in part 2 of The Key to the text selected by the Key on the two pages above. Figures 3 and 4 show the results of applying the two sets of Rules to the Key text. The selection of the Key text and application of the rules are confirmed in the Maranatha puzzle using a mistake in the Timeline section of the book, “The Timeline Mistake”.

• Adding the single digit summations highlighted green gives the number, 285 + 714 = 999
• Adding the single digit summations highlighted purple gives the number, 313 + 464 = 777
• The summation highlighted blue reveals 151 = “JESUS CHRIST”
• The total value of the single digit columns, highlighted yellow, is 15 + 7 + 7 + 12 = 41 = “KEY” in standard gematria.

• Adding the single digit summations highlighted green gives the number, 174 + 714 = 888
• Adding the single digit summations highlighted purple gives the number, 313 + 353 = 666
• The summation highlighted blue reveals 151 = “JESUS CHRIST”
• The total value of the single digit columns, highlighted yellow, is 12 + 7 + 7 + 12 = 38 = “KEY” in simple gematria.

Combined, the two versions of the Key text produce the confirmation numbers 666, 777, 888, and 999, along with 151 = “JESUS CHRIST”. The total of the four column single digit summations in both solutions produces the value of “KEY” = 41 & 38, the standard and simple gematria version of the word.

The message here is that the Key is very close.

The Single Digit Sums

In the previous section, the confirmation numbers, 666, 777, 888, and 999, alomg with the values of “KEY”, appear to be indicating that the process should focus to the single digit values at this point. This makes sense because a numerical key is needed, so the text should be dropped at some point. Figure 5 shows the single digit values in more detail.

The term “Unbalanced Divide of Four” was a term used in the Maranatha decoded pig-pen text that described the manner in which the Key was supposed to be hidden.

The single digit sum of the single digit sums from the two sets of rules are highlighted yellow and green in Figure 5. Three of the values, yellow, are the same, and one, is different, forming the unbalanced divide of three. This is another potential confirmation and possibly indicate what to look for in the next steps. The yellow number could be interpreted as either 37 or 73, while the green numbers could be interpreted as either 67 or 76 = 73 + 3.

Because “IESUS” = 73, and we are following Jesus to break the code, the number 73 seems to be important and possibly something to look for. 73 can also be interpreted as a veiled version of 777.

The next step appears to be using the “First and Last” concept of Jesus to combine the two sets of 12 numbers into a single set of 12 numbers. in Figure 6, note that the first number in the right column of the Revelation page is 7, and the last number is 4, this gives the number 74 = JESUS and hints at the first and last concept. Figure 6 shows the result of adding the First and Last numbers of each column together. The arrows on the right hand side of the Figure illustrate the way that the numbers were combined.

There are some really good indications that this approach is correct, but only time will tell if it works.

• The first strong confirmation is the number 666 found in the left column.
• Highlighted yellow, The first and last columns produces 666 + 222 = 888 = JESUS in Greek.

• The total of the three numbers highlighted green at the bottom of the Figure is 18 + 5 + 14 = 37.
• Multiplying 37 by the number 24, also highlighted green in the right column gives the number of JESUS again.
• 37 X 24 = 888.

The next question that needs to be answered is what to do with the 6 numbers in the two middle columns that are highlighted blue. When the path grows dark, the best thing to do is to slow down and remember the basics. This code functions by following the numbers of JESUS. So far in this step, we have 666, 888, and 74 = JESUS was used to connect the first and last numbers. What is missing is the value of “IESUS” = 73. Using a little trial and error, the middle numbers, highlighted blue can be used to get the number 73.

Reading in a serpentine pattern, from left to right, right to left, and left to right on the three rows, the following values are obtained,

26 + 21 + 26 = 73 = IESUS

Is this finally The Key?

Confirming The Key

If the number sequence that has the total value of IESUS is really the Key, then there should be some fairly strong confirmations built into both the Bible and the Maranatha puzzle. First, let’s look at the Bible.

Confirming The Key in The Bible

The best place to look for a confirmation is at the beginning and end of Revelation. Since Jesus is the first and the last, look at the first and last occurrences of IESUS in Revelation. First, omit the punctuation and look only the letters. There are a total of 47 letters, which is the reverse of 74 = JESUS.

‘The Reuelation of Iesus + Iesus Christ be with you all Amen’ = 583 and 555 in standard and simple gematria.

In simple gematria, the value 555 confirms the name IESUS. The search for the Key has come full circle and ended up right back where we started with the name of Jesus.

Revelation Page 1 is the Key to the Key, so it might confirm the actual Key once it has been found.

The Key text from Revelation Page 1 is repeated here in Figure 7, but only the letters are used this time.

For completeness, the Key was identified as the number sequence 26 + 21 + 26 = 73

G = 7 and C = 3, and “GC” can be interpreted as 73.

In the text, the first letter in the right column,“G”, and the letter “C” in “Churches” are highlighted red.

Reading from left to right across the columns, there are 73 letters from the “G” to “C”. So, the first two confirmations of the Key are,

• “GC” = 73
• “ginning and the ending saith the Lord And he sent and signified it by his Angel The seuen C” = 73 letters

• The total gematria value of the 73 letters is 740.
• 740 – 666 = 74 = JESUS, confirming that the 73 letters are intentional.

• There are also 73 letters from the “C” to the end of the text. So, the beginning and end are the same.
• “Churches which are in Asia And from Jesus Christ who is the his eyes were as a flame of fire” = 73 letters”

So far the total value of the Key has been confirmed, but what about the individual numbers of the Key? 26-21-26 The 73 letters from “G” to “C” can be divided into 3 groups of letters matching the values of the Key. Figure 8 shows the 73 letters from the beginning of Revelation Page 1 Key text divided into letter segments that equal the Key values 26-21-26.

• The first two letters of the gematria values of each segment are highlighted red. The first two letters match the key value and the number of letters in the segment.
• Add the single digit summation of the gematria values to the last digit of the gematria values.
• 353 + 424 = 777

The values of the Key numbers, along with the total value of the Key are confirmed in the text of Revelation page1.

Confirming The Key in The Maranatha Puzzle

There are several confirmations of the numerical Key built into the Maranatha puzzle book. The first is found in the first entry of the Bibliography. The entry is written as follows,

ADDISON, C. G., The History of the Templars (London, 1842)

This entry is another “mistake” in the Maranatha puzzle that was most likely intentional. The title of the book is not listed correctly. It should be “The History of the Knights Templars, the Temple Church, and the Temple”. This “mistake” indicates that there is a possible confirmation in this entry.

73 is confirmed several times, but the most obvious is the initials “CG”. C = 3, and G = 7, giving the nimbler 37. Reversed it is 73.

After a little trial and error, the confirmation of the individual Key numbers, 26, 21, and 26 are found.

• The first letter is “A = 1”, and the letter before “of” is “Y = 25”. Adding, “AY” = 1 + 25 = 26
• The word “OF” = 21
• The letter after “of” is “T = 20”. The single digit summation of 1842 is 6, Adding, 20 + 6 = 26.
