The late distinguished Professor R.N. Whybray of Old Testament wisdom literature formerly with the University of Hull, England, once commented on who the Servant is in the second half of the book of Isaiah. He said to the effect that the reason the later generations are so confused about the identity of this Servant is because the key to understanding the background of the original language has been lost. This author thinks that he has found the ?key? that will unlock the meaning, or the codes, if you will, of many verses in Isa 40-55, as amply documented in this book. Many verses that puzzled quite a few commentators for centuries have found the intended meaning through the use of this ?key?. The key is to read Isa 40-55 through the book of Jeremiah. This brand new approach to interpreting these sixteen much treasured chapters of Isaiah is a must read for all serious Bible students.The most satisfying and illuminating result of this study is that the Jeremiah new covenant is unveiled in two DI texts and in a split-up pattern. The Suffering Servant is positively identified as the Principal of the Superior Party of the new covenant. Through His willing acceptance of the vicarious suffering unto death, the new covenant and salvation are established. Furthermore, the receiving party of the new covenant is no longer limited to the house of Israel and Judah, but is extended to include all the peoples on this earth. And this prophecy was uttered hundreds of years before the Era of the New Testament. This is surely among the greatest prophecies, if not THE greatest prophecy.

There exist the forces of good and evil, which are both actively interfering in the affairs of men and operate by dynamics not explicitly understood by mortals. It appears that man’s actions and inactions are engineered by unseen forces that manipulate him to accomplish a specific purpose. It also appears that in the fulfillment of prophecy, Satan is an unpaid worker in the kingdom of God. This treatise, Cracking the Ancient Codes, captures vividly the intrigues behind the Bible stories from the spiritual dimension. It narrates the story of the Seed and the Serpent, manifesting in different forms as they engaged in unabated contention throughout the ages. The intentions of Satan are clear: to frustrate the manifestation of the Seed, by either defiling or destroying the Seed’s ancestors. In this plot, Israel and Jerusalem are the sacred sites; the Jews and later the church are the principal actors. Without ambiguity, the Light shines with an outstanding luminance and Darkness cannot decipher the mystery behind it. Mortals have to make the constant choice between life and death. Events surrounding the state of Israel and the existence of the church remain the most valid markers for fulfillment of spiritual prophecy. The world must be conscious of the warfare that exists and must not be engulfed in the deception of a no-devil secularity.

After years of struggling to lose weight and improve his own health personal trainer Daniel Foley began a journey to find the truth about how our bodies really work. Despite traveling all over the country and studying with some of the best experts in the world, he hadn't found what he was looking for. But then he came across a man who was 113 years old, and had never been sick a day in his life. The centenarian said that all of his secrets were in the Bible. Digging through the scriptures Daniel discovered that there is a digital code that operates your body, similar to the way that software operates a computer. Why did God create your body this way? What if God created every aspect of your body to point to Jesus? For example, Jesus came back to life on the third day. So, anything that has to do with the regeneration or renewal of your cells codes into your body as a number three. Every food you eat, exercise you do, and even your emotions send codes, which are really just commands to your body. By knowing these codes you can effectively reprogram your body and take back control of your health. Cracking Heaven's Code will teach you how this code operates your body and the different ways that nutrition, exercise, emotions, and more send signals to your body. Once you know how these codes work you will never look at health the same way again. These codes will make health and fitness simple and easy. And you will know the truth about how your body really works, which will set you free to look, feel, and perform your best.
