One of the ideas in Dan Brown's "The Lost Symbol" (Doubleday, 2009) and other books is that the Bible contains hidden messages. I can show you that this is true. Unlike Dan Brown's fictional book, the book of Revelation in the Bible is the key to unlocking these messages, messages that have been hidden by God for thousands of years.
Almost 2000 years ago, God sent his angel to John to give him a revelation that you can read in the last book in your Bible. Three verses in the first chapter of Revelation: 1:1, 1:3, and 1:11 are the key to revealing the hidden message within Revelation. Rev 1:1 says that the revelation tells us "...things which must shortly take place." Why shortly? Rev 1:3 focuses our attention on the words of the text. This is amplified in Rev 22:18 where we are told not to add or delete any word. This focus on words leads us to ask how to gain greater understanding without affecting the words. Finally, Rev 1:11 reads, "Write in a book what you see". This is the spiritual 'AH HA'. God has given us an end-time chronology, but has sealed it up (hidden it) by showing John the chronology out of chronological order and tells him to write what he sees. The chronology of John's text describes what he saw next not necessarily what will happen next like a play with certain scenes out of order. But how could we know how to reorder it to discover the true message? The answer is that Jesus told his disciples what would happen in the true chronological order in the first three Gospels. Jesus shows us how to properly order and thereby interpret Revelation.
The order of the chapters of Revelation and the verse telling us that these things will happen shortly are what has confused scholars for centuries. The time "shortly" depends on whom the revelation is addressing. Once again, Jesus tells us who is ultimately addressed in Matt 24:29-34, Mark 13: 24-30, and Luke 21:25-32. These verses tell us that all the signs Jesus is describing (that contains the chronology that shows us how to reorder Revelation) will be completed within one generation. What Jesus described has not yet happened in the history of the world. These signs will happen "shortly" to the end-time, "this", generation. It seems that God did not want the true chronology to be known until the end-times perhaps so that each generation would believe and look to the day of Christ's return even if it was actually to be hundreds of years away. As we enter the end times, I believe that he wants us to know the straight story. Reordering Revelation opens new doors to understanding this important prophecy and Revelation opens our eyes to the meaning of other parts of the Bible that have been hidden by God until now.
Revelation tells us that international terror will lead to economic collapse and the rise of a one-world leader. It tells us why we are born. It tells us where you go when you die. It tells us why there is suffering in the world. It tells the end time generation what to expect and how to respond. It tells us when Jesus will return to the earth. It tells us that we are sons of God and our role when this world passes away. All this and more. The bottom line, the Gospels are the key to Revelation and Revelation is the key to the rest of the Bible. See for yourself the power of this hidden prophecy.
