There are no "codes" in revelation or the Bible. You've been watching the DaVinci Code to much. Take it for the literal words that are written in context with passages before and after. It does leave things open for some interpretation and other passages take a more mature walk with Christ and the Holy Spirit to understand.
Revelation 3:20 as portrayed by John MacArthurs study Bible. Rather than allowing for the common interpretation of Christ's knocking on a person's heart; the context demands that Christ was seeking to enter this church that bore His name but lacked a single true believer. This poignant letter was His knocking. If one member would recognize his spiritual bakruptcy and respond in saving faith, He would enter the church.

Revelation don't have any codes, It is a Love letter to the bride of Christ, Many people thinks that Revelation should not have been writen, because they don't understand it, I understand it. Now you use Rev.3:20 That is a very simple verse, with no codes But a revelation in itself, Behold I stand at the door & knock, If any man hear my voice & open the door, I will come in to him & he with me. A very simple verse. The door Jesus is referring to is the door to your heart, & to sup with us means to Have The Holy Ghost in our life. I hope this helps

The Bible is to be taken literally unless it states otherwise; such as saying something was "like" or "as" something else. In this particular verse Jesus is promising to enter the hearts of anyone who asks Him inside in response to His calling. When He says "I stand at the door and knock", the literal translation is I stand at the door and am constantly knocking. The entire Bible is much easier to understand, including Revelations, if you first ask God to open your eyes of understanding and take what you read literally, unless you're told otherwise or hyperbole is used, or a parable

People will always try to understand the Revelation but its a waste of time. It will only be understood after the events described in it have occured. Those causing those events will probably understand it though
