Do you know any "hidden secrets" or "clues" in the bible about something that most don't know? if so, what?

Answer 1

One of my favorite.. little known facts of the Bible


The background behind the genealogy in Genesis 5

Since the ten Hebrew names are proper names, they are not translated but only transliterated to approximate the way they were pronounced. The meaning of proper names can be a difficult pursuit since direct translations are not readily available. Many study aids, such as conventional lexicons, can prove superficial when dealing with proper names. Even a conventional Hebrew lexicon can prove disappointing. A study of the original roots, however, can yield some fascinating insights.

Adam

The first name, Adam, comes from adomah, and means "man." As the first man, that seems straightforward enough.

Seth

Adam's son was named Seth, which means "appointed." When he was born Eve said, "For God hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew."

Enosh

Seth's son was called Enosh, which means "mortal," "frail," or "miserable." It is from the root anash: to be incurable; used of a wound, grief, woe, sickness, or wickedness. (It was in the days of Enosh that men began to defile the name of the Living God.)

Kenan

Enosh's son was named Kenan, from which can mean "sorrow," dirge," or "elegy." (The precise denotation is somewhat elusive; some study aids unfortunately presume an Aramaic root synonymous with "Cainan.") Balaam, looking down from the heights of Moab, employed a pun upon the name of the Kenites when he prophesied their destruction.

Mahalalel

Kenan's son was Mahalalel, from mahalal, which means "blessed" or "praise"; and El, the name for God. Thus, Mahalalel means "the Blessed God." Often Hebrew names included El, the name of God, as Dani-el, "God is my Judge," Nathani-el, "Gift of God," etc.

Jared

Mahalalel's son was named Jared, from the verb yaradh, meaning "shall come down." Some authorities suggest that this might have been an allusion to the "Sons of God" who "came down" to corrupt the daughters of men, resulting in the Nephilim ("Fallen Ones") of Genesis 6.3

Enoch

Jared's son was named Enoch, which means "teaching," or "commencement." He was the first of four generations of preachers. In fact, the earliest recorded prophecy was by Enoch, which amazingly enough deals with the Second Coming of Christ.

Methuselah

The Flood of Noah did not come as a surprise. It had been preached on for four generations. But something strange happened when Enoch was 65, from which time "he walked with God." Enoch was given a prophecy that as long as his son was alive, the judgment of the flood would be withheld; but as soon as he died, the flood would be sent forth.

Enoch named his son to reflect this prophecy. The name Methuselah comes from two roots: muth, a root that means "death" ; and from shalach, which means "to bring," or "to send forth." Thus, the name Methuselah signifies, "his death shall bring."

And, indeed, in the year that Methuselah died, the flood came. Methuselah was 187 when he had Lamech, and lived 782 years more. Lamech had Noah when he was 182. The Flood came in Noah's 600th year. 187 + 182 + 600 = 969, Methuselah's age when he died.

It is interesting that Methuselah's life was, in effect, a symbol of God's mercy in forestalling the coming judgment of the flood. It is therefore fitting that his lifetime is the oldest in the Bible, symbolizing the extreme extensiveness of God's mercy.

Lamech

Methuselah's son was named Lamech, a root still evident today in our own English word, "lament" or "lamentation." Lamech suggests "despairing." (This name is also linked to the Lamech in Cain's line who inadvertently killed his son Tubal-Cain in a hunting incident.)

Noah

Lamech, of course, is the father of Noah, which is derived from nacham , "to bring relief" or "comfort," as Lamech himself explains.

The Composite List

Now let's put it all together:

Hebrew English

Adam: Man
Seth: Appointed
Enosh: Mortal
Kenan: Sorrow
Mahalalel: The Blessed God
Jared: Shall come down
Enoch: Teaching
Methuselah: His death shall bring
Lamech: The despairing
Noah: Rest, or comfort

Here is a summary of God's plan of redemption, hidden here within a genealogy in Genesis! You will never convince me that a group of Jewish rabbis deliberately "contrived" to hide the "Christian Gospel" right here in a genealogy within their venerated Torah!

Evidences of Design

The implications of this discovery are far more deeply significant than may be evident at first glance. It demonstrates that in the earliest chapters of the Book of Genesis, God had already laid out His plan of redemption for the predicament of mankind. It is the beginning of a love story, ultimately written in blood on a wooden cross which was erected in Judea almost 2,000 years ago.

This is also one of many evidences that the Bible is an integrated message system, the product of supernatural engineering. This punctures the presumptions of many who view the Bible as a record of an evolving cultural tradition, noble though it may be. It claims to be authored by the One who alone knows the end from the beginning, despite the fact that it is composed of 66 separate books, penned by some 40 authors, spanning several thousand years.

Answer 2

No. The Bible is meant to be taken literally; there are no hidden agendas or clues. Some prophetic things are not clearly understood YET, but will be when the time comes. Other than that, the Bible is not a hidden book.

Answer 3

"hidden secrets" or "clues" ? No.

There are over 40,000 promises from God. Have you found them? :)P

Hebrews 10:23
There are reported to be more than 40,000 promises in the Bible, but sometimes it is difficult to determine how we can properly respond and claim God’s awesome pledges to us.
There are two kinds of promises from God. First, He gave limited promises. These are promises made specifically to people in the Bible for their individual purposes. An example of this is when God promised a son to elderly Abraham and Sarah, who was barren. This is not a promise that all barren women can claim and expect God’s answer.
However, God also has given general promises. For instance, He promised to never leave or forsake us. (Hebrews 13:5b) He also promised to return for us (John 14:3). These promises pertain to all believers.
And then there are two kinds of general promises: conditional and unconditional. The two aforementioned general promises are unconditional; they require nothing of the believer. However, Philippians 4:19, Psalm 37:4, and other promises like them are conditional. They require something of the believer. In Philippians 4:19, the condition is that we be in Christ. The believer must be living for Him and in total submission to His will. The same holds true for "delighting" in the Lord as stated in Psalm 37:4. Clearly, a relationship comes before a request.

Answer 4

What most miss is in the teachings of Jesus, putting others before yourself. Treating others in in the manner in which you would like to be treated yourself. Having compassion for others, concerned passion, concerned love for others. In other words becoming selfless instead of being selfish. Sounds good doesn't it, how ever not so easy doing it.

Look at how people act and think about what you see, is it an act of selflessness or selfishness? The truly hidden secret is not so hidden yet it is not easy for us to do. It is in the hearts of man where the hidden secret is. In a man's heart he choices what kind of life in which he will live. If by self or by something more.

Faith in something in which one can not see or even know, to live by that faith and trust that it is real. To see beyond the things of self, and see the needs of others. The things of self doesn 't want to put others first, it goes against our nature.

Even those who claim to believe don't practice what they claim.
They don't understand or choose not to. Which is more believable, one who faithfully practices what they believe and doesn't say a word? Or one who claims it and never lives by what they claim?

Answer 5

The King James Bible was published when Shakespeare was 46 years old.

If you go to the 46th Psalm and count the forty-sixth word from the beginning, it is "shake". If you could the forty-sixth word from the end (not counting "selah", which isn't technically part of the Psalm) the word is "spear".

Answer 6

In Revelation many will take on the mark of the beast "in" the hand or "in" the forehead. Also, at one point, God will send out an angel to mark His chosen people during the tribulation period "in" the forehead. The difference? The beast gives you a choice of take the mark or die. God just does it to those who believe and trust in Him.

Answer 7

Try the website: www.thename.ph. There has been so much clues that the church either ignore or did not know about.

Answer 8

Yes, its a secret though

Answer 9

Reading it and understanding its message is not nearly as difficult as critics pretend.

Answer 10

If you read it backwards, it says a bunch of satanic stuff.
