The Real Bible Code (Teen Class)

Stephen Palmer

Mid-Atlantic Christadelphian Bible School (2000)

This series uncovers the true “Bible code”—not in hidden numbers or secret patterns, but in the living words of scripture. Listeners are invited to see how every word, phrase, and echo in God’s word carries meaning and how careful reading opens up treasures of understanding. Each class demonstrates practical tools for discovering the depth, unity, and power of the Bible, showing that its greatest code is the way it reveals the purpose of God through Christ.

Every Word Matters

The opening session emphasizes that nothing in scripture is wasted. Even the smallest details carry weight, and by examining the way a verse is quoted in different contexts, we discover the richness of God’s message and how it speaks across time and circumstance.

Keep Quiet and Listen

This class highlights the discipline of attentive listening. By learning to read with patience and humility, believers can begin to hear the echoes of scripture and discern how passages answer questions of faith, doctrine, and daily life.

Tune in to Bible Echoes

Here the focus shifts to recognizing repeated words and themes that connect one part of the Bible to another. Students are encouraged to notice echoes between Old and New Testaments, seeing how God’s word interprets itself and reveals His consistent purpose.

Use Key Words to Unlock Scripture

This lecture shows how a single word—when traced through concordances and cross-references—can unlock whole patterns of meaning. By following key words, believers learn to uncover layers of teaching that deepen faith and sharpen understanding.

The Truth is Hiding in the Shadows

This class explores how the law and its ceremonies foreshadow the work of Christ. By comparing repeated sacrifices with the one perfect sacrifice of the Lord, the lesson highlights how types and shadows point forward to the fullness of God’s plan.

When One Thing Means Another

The series concludes by showing how Scripture often speaks in symbols and parables. By learning to recognize when words carry layered or representative meaning, students are equipped to read more deeply and discern the wisdom God has woven into His word.
