Anyone truly understand the Bible?

Grew up in church. Fifteen years of Sunday school, youth group, the whole thing. And what I walked away with was the surface. Be good. Have faith. Here's the doctrine. Move on.

I always thought it was kinda BS tbh.

Started to come back to it recently after a friend introduced me to some different interpretations. I'm starting to slowly realized there's a whole layer under the verses.. "The kingdom of God is within you." "Be still and know." etc.

I feel my pastors never really understood, but kept regurgitating the same bullshit they've learned in school. Not sure if the Vatican knows it or they are just ignorant (curious to know what you guys think on that?).

The problem is I can't find anything that helps me read for that layer now.

ChatGPT and the Bible apps with Ai built in spit out the same slop every time. "This verse can be interpreted in many ways." "Some scholars believe..." You can tell it's not interpreting anything.

Anyone here found a way through? A commentary, a teacher, a method, anything that actually knows what the text means?

Revelation 12:7–12 clearly speaks about war in heaven... Could there really be a war in heaven? Since I’ve always loved and been fascinated by heaven, this part made me very curious.

(Revelation 12:7–12) The army of Michael and the army of the dragon wage war against each other. Satan and his angels are cast down from heaven to the earth...

(Revelation 17:8–14) It also says that the beast and the kings will wage war against the Lamb. But the Lamb is the Lord of lords and the King of kings, so He overcomes them...

has anyone read be wise as serpents and harmless as doves?

has anyone read this book before? found on cia and looked up on reddit instantly. i believe its from the same author as bloodlines of illuminati. honestly has been super eye opening and i want the opinion of other christians. at this point i believe deeply that this is the truth. there are higher up families that are demonic controlling whats happening and they have been for generations. jesus had 12 apostles. its said satan picked 12 apostles and 1 extra to represent jesus being the 13th at the table. the number 13 in history shows itself repeatedly. leuren moret and fritz springmeier seem very knowledgeable. fritz refers to this passage as a “scouting report” which i thought was interesting. i find it interesting in the serpents book there is a LOT of typos. when i say a lot i mean in weird ways as well. theres a specific amount of spaces in between certain words that dont quite make since. theres words directly crossed out. yes typos are normal but the more you read it the more you realize that theyre not really typos at all. BE CAREFUL READING THIS PASSAGE. I FEEL A STRANGE ENERGY READING THE BOOK. i find the information in the book to be really fascinating but something that is consistently throwing me off is the fact you can find the pages on the cia website. isnt the entire premise of what theyre trying to communicate to us about the higher ups controlling everything? why would they give us this to read if the knowledge is important? going down this path to obtain more knowledge of our enemies has not been easy. if youve seeked this journey as well you should be proud of yourself. be careful with what you consume though as stuff can be propaganda or out of bias. they know people know and they will lead them on to think they know more than they already do. it becomes a prideful sickness of you wanting to know more and more. ive come to the simple conclusion that YES we dont have any control. its all in gods hands. have faith and walk with our lord in this battle and in the end we will be victorious at the end of the war.

Is the whole Bible building toward God(Christ) marrying redeemed humanity in the New Heaven and New Earth?

This started for me with a simple explanation of the Trinity: God is one being and three persons. That helped something click. A being is what something is; a person is who someone is. So God is one divine being, eternally Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Then I started thinking about humanity. Humanity is one human nature/being, but many human persons across time. We are not the Trinity, obviously, and I am not trying to collapse mankind into God. But the pattern of unity-with-distinction started standing out to me.

Then the Bride of Christ imagery hit me differently. The Church is not just a random group of saved individuals. Scripture talks about the Church as one body, one bride, one new humanity. Paul says he betrothed believers to one husband, Christ. Ephesians 5 says the "one flesh" mystery of marriage is ultimately about Christ and the Church. Revelation 19 says the marriage of the Lamb has come and His Bride has made herself ready. Revelation 21 shows the New Jerusalem coming down from heaven like a bride adorned for her husband, and then immediately says God's dwelling place is with humanity.

That was one of the first "red flags" for me, in a good way. The Bible begins with God dwelling with man in Eden, with Adam and Eve in a world where heaven and earth seem open to each other. Then sin enters. Adam and Eve hide. God calls for them, covers them, judges sin, and then the way back to the tree of life is guarded by cherubim and a flaming sword. From that point on, the Bible reads like God making a way to bring heaven and earth back together: covenant, sacrifice, tabernacle, temple, priesthood, incarnation, cross, resurrection, Spirit, and finally New Creation.

The justice/mercy part is huge to me. God is not 50% just and 50% merciful. He is 100% just and 100% merciful. If God creates free creatures who can truly love Him, they also have the ability to rebel. Once sin enters, direct unveiled fellowship with God's holiness becomes dangerous for humanity. I would not word it as "God cannot see them," because Genesis still shows God calling and covering them. The better way to say it is this: sinful humanity cannot survive God's unmediated holy presence without covering, mediation, and redemption. That is why the whole story becomes God making a way for His justice and mercy to meet.

This is where Christ as the Last Adam becomes massive. Adam is the head of the first humanity. Adam fails. Christ comes as the Last Adam, the true human, the obedient Son, the life-giving Spirit. The first Adam receives a bride; the Last Adam receives a Bride. The first Adam is put into deep sleep and Eve is brought from his side; the Last Adam is pierced in death and the Church is born from His blood and water. That parallel is not just something I made up; it has been seen in Christian tradition. The question I am asking is whether the Bible is pointing us toward Christ and His Bride as the fulfillment of Adam and Eve in the New Creation.

The Jewish wedding typology is where this locks in even more for me. From what I have found, ancient Jewish marriage was not just one quick event. There was a bride price or mohar. There was a legal betrothal stage, erusin/kiddushin, where the couple was considered bound, even though they did not yet live together. Then came a waiting/preparation period. In some sources, a year is associated with preparation between betrothal and full marriage. Then came nissuin, when the bride was brought from her father's house to the groom's house, often with procession and celebration. Jewish wedding liturgy also carries creation/Eden language, joy, bridegroom/bride, and the home.

Now look at the New Testament. Christ pays the price. Paul says believers were "bought with a price." Paul also says he betrothed the Church to Christ. Jesus says He goes to His Father's house to prepare a place and will come again to receive His people to Himself. Jesus uses bridegroom imagery in the parable of the ten virgins, where there is delay, readiness, lamps, a midnight cry, the bridegroom's arrival, entrance into the wedding banquet, and a shut door. Revelation then ends with the marriage supper of the Lamb, the Bride made ready, and the New Jerusalem/Bride descending as God finally dwells with humanity.

So the theory is not just "there are wedding metaphors." The theory is that the whole biblical story may be structured like a divine wedding: God creates humanity for communion, sin separates heaven and earth, Christ pays the bride price at the cross, the Church is betrothed and made ready, Christ prepares a place, Christ returns for the Bride, the marriage supper happens, and then the New Heaven and New Earth become the final household where God and redeemed humanity dwell together forever.

I also think people often do not talk much about what actually happens in the New Heaven and New Earth. Scripture gives us the destination clearly: no curse, no death, no pain, God dwelling with His people, the tree of life, the river of life, the nations healed, and God's servants reigning. But it does not give a lot of mechanics. What is life like there? What does resurrected humanity do? What does creation become? Is the New Creation just "heaven after death," or is it the restoration and fulfillment of Eden?

Here is the more speculative part, and this is where I want correction if I am going too far. If the end of the Bible is a real marriage between Christ and the Bride, does that imply a kind of future fruitfulness? I know Jesus says that in the resurrection people neither marry nor are given in marriage. That is the strongest objection to any simple idea of reproduction continuing like it does now. But I wonder if earthly marriage ends because it is fulfilled in the one ultimate marriage: Christ and His Bride. Maybe the question is not, "Will humans keep marrying like now?" but "What kind of eternal fruitfulness does union with Christ produce in a perfected creation?"

I am not saying Jesus is half-God/half-human. Orthodox Christianity says He is fully God and fully human. I am not saying humans become God by nature. I am not saying I have proven literal divine-human offspring. I am asking whether the marriage imagery points to something deeper than a symbol - a real covenantal union where redeemed humanity becomes what God intended from Eden, united with Christ in a restored creation.

So my questions are:

  1. Is the pattern Eden -> Fall -> separation -> mediation -> Christ as Last Adam -> Church as Bride -> marriage supper -> New Heaven/New Earth actually biblical?

  2. Are there theologians, Church Fathers, or biblical scholars who connect Christ and the Church to a New Adam/New Eve pattern?

  3. Is the Jewish wedding typology a legitimate framework for John 14, Matthew 25, Revelation 19, and Revelation 21, or is that being overread?

  4. Does Matthew 22:30 completely shut down any kind of future fruitfulness, or only fallen-age marriage as we know it?

  5. Is the Bride of Christ imagery only symbolic, or does it point to a deeper reality of what humanity becomes in union with Christ?

  6. Where is this theory biblically strong, and where does it cross a line?

Again, I am not claiming certainty. I am trying to test a pattern that suddenly made a lot of biblical "red flags" lock together for me.

Hantavirus

God gave me a warning at the beginning of last year that i only realized a few days ago. At least i think so (i don't want to be a false prophet so i won't say that i'm 100% sure).

It was not about the hantavirus directly, but about the name of the cruise ship. It came with a second sign, which has already become reality 8 months after i got those two signs.

I can't get into detail, but it had to do with politics (i got those after praying about the election), egypt (exodus), and the prophecy of Daniel 7, as well as personal occurences which were embedded and became true - which is why i assume this might be a warning.
