The Secret in Biblical History1. Book Information
The Secret in Biblical History (Bible History)
『The Secret in Biblical History (Bible History)』 consists entirely of biblical passages.
2. Summary
『The Secret in Biblical History』 is a biblical research work focused on demonstrating events from the time of Jesus, approximately 2,000 years ago, using only the Old Testament.
The book examines how the prophecies of the Old Testament are fulfilled as history in the New Testament and the Book of Revelation, and explores the consistency and continuity of the biblical structure extending from the Old Testament to the Book of Revelation.
The Bible is a record that transcends different periods of history.
The New Testament was written approximately 2,000 years ago, while the Old Testament was recorded thousands of years earlier.
The author presents these two parts of Scripture not as disconnected records, but as closely connected through prophecy and history.
Rather than viewing the Bible merely as a religious record, the research approaches it as a body of writings in which history and prophecy are interconnected, and presents an interpretation in which the Old Testament texts from Exodus through Malachi are reinterpreted as referring to events that took place during the time of Jesus.
『The Secret in Biblical History (Bible History)』 is a research work composed entirely of biblical passages and examines the continuity of prophecy and events extending from the Old Testament to the Book of Revelation.
3. Nature of the Book
『The Secret in Biblical History』 is a research work focused on demonstrating events from the time of Jesus, approximately 2,000 years ago, using only the Old Testament.
Through this research, the connection between the prophecies of the Old Testament and the New Testament was confirmed, along with the flow of Scripture extending to the Book of Revelation.
The author emphasizes that this is “not a book for memorizing conclusions, but a book that readers open for themselves through the research process.”
Accordingly, after reading the book, readers can reopen the Bible and examine the process of demonstrating events from the time of Jesus using only the Old Testament.
By reading the Old Testament (Prophecy) within the historical setting of that era, readers can examine structural patterns involving history, politics, social systems, and scientific civilization.
4. Research Direction and Main Arguments (Partial)
1) The Necessity of Interpreting the Old Testament
If events from the time of Jesus cannot be demonstrated through the Old Testament (Prophecy),
the New Testament loses its basis for interpretation,
and the structure of the Book of Revelation may consequently be distorted.
An interpretation not grounded in the Old Testament (Prophecy) may become an arbitrary interpretation—that is, it may carry the risk of falling into heresy.
2. The Bible as Prophecy and History (Partial)
Old Testament (Prophecy):
The records from Exodus through Malachi are figuratively reinterpreted and have a prophetic character that connects them with events from the time of Jesus.
New Testament:
As writings recorded approximately 2,000 years ago, the New Testament bears witness to the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy in history, while also having an instructive character and occupying a position structurally connected with the Book of Revelation.
3. The History of the Hypocritical Scribes and Pharisees
The New Testament repeatedly refers to the hypocritical scribes and Pharisees.
Matthew 23:2 states that “the scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses’ seat.”
Accordingly, their hypocritical appearance in the New Testament is interpreted in connection with religious and social structures that had already taken shape within the events recorded in the Old Testament.
From this perspective, demonstrating through the Old Testament alone how the history of the hypocritical scribes and Pharisees began is essential to this research.
If their origins and development cannot be demonstrated within the context of the Old Testament, their identity as presented in the New Testament can only be understood in isolation, resulting in the loss of structural continuity between the Old and New Testaments.
Accordingly, this research examines “The Beginning of the History of the Hypocritical Scribes and Pharisees” within the Old Testament text in order to establish historical continuity and consistency of interpretation with the New Testament records.
4. The Starting Point of Biblical History That Had Been Hidden as a Secret
The book also contains research concerning the starting point of biblical history that had been hidden as a secret, as well as the history related to Matthew chapter 2.
5. Premises for Biblical Interpretation
This research holds that reading the Bible solely at the literal level has limitations and that its meaning must also be examined within the political, cultural, social-systemic, and scientific-civilizational circumstances that emerge from the prophetic perspective of the Old Testament.
When the Old Testament prophecies are examined in relation to the realities of the time of Jesus, they are understood not merely as religious records, but as records connected with actual history and social structures.
Without such an approach, fundamental limitations arise in attempting to demonstrate events from the time of Jesus using only the Old Testament.
Two premises are presented in connection with this approach.
a. Scientific Civilization
The research proceeds from the premise that the world of that period was not merely an ancient society, but possessed an advanced system of technology and knowledge, allowing the prophecies of the Old Testament to be examined in relation to history.
Artifacts such as the Antikythera mechanism are presented as examples relevant to considering this interpretation.
b. Democratic Perspective
When the social structure of that period is examined from a democratic perspective, political and religious conflicts are interpreted as showing correspondence between Old Testament prophecy and New Testament events.
According to this research, when these two premises are taken into account, the interpretation of the Old Testament as prophecy referring to events from the time of Jesus can be examined historically.
5. Conclusion
『The Secret in Biblical History (Bible History)』 is a research work based on the study of the Old Testament (Prophecy), in which an interpretation of the history of approximately 2,000 years ago that had remained hidden as a secret within the Bible is organized solely through biblical passages.
Through this research, an interpretation of the history of approximately 2,000 years ago composed solely of biblical passages was discovered, along with the flow of Scripture extending from the Old Testament through the New Testament to the Book of Revelation.
The Book of Revelation is understood not as a record of events disconnected from the Old Testament, but as a record in which the Word of God and the structure of history already recorded and hidden within the Old Testament are revealed again.
The book provides an analytical and hermeneutic approach that enables readers, after reading it, to reopen the Bible, examine for themselves the prophecies and the flow of history contained within Scripture, and continue further biblical research.
『The Secret in Biblical History (Bible History)』 consists entirely of biblical passages.
