There are eight layers of encryption in the puzzle that can be decrypted in a similar way that some of the ADW announcements can be decrypted.
  1. Move the leftmost square in the top image to the far right side of that image without rotating the square.
  2. After moving the square, rotate the entire top image 180 degrees to make the bottom image. Notice that the black sky behind the mountains (or pyramids) is now white sky. Thus you have changed night into day. Also, notice that the number one becomes the letter "T".
  3. Change the English letter "T" to the Greek letter "T" (Tau).
  4. Use isopsephy to convert the Greek letter "T" to its numeral equivalent of 300.
  5. Change 300 decimal to 300 hexadecimal.
  6. Convert 300 hexadecimal to 1400 octal.
  7. Change 1400 octal to 1400 hexadecimal.
  8. Convert 1400 hexadecimal to 12000 octal.

This miracle puzzle seems quite impossible to solve at first, but with very little effort and applying some ingenuity through number manipulation, it is easily solvable. It also helps to be familiar with other languages and their number systems. Read Mathematics From the Birth of Numbers by Jan Gullberg, 1997, ISBN 0-393-04002-X. Jan's book on the history of numbers and mathematics is both thorough and a pleasure to read. I've consulted her book on dozens of occasions. It is my go-to-first book in my library when it comes to finding specific information about certain types of numbers.

The seven tangram-like squares can make all sorts of interesting pictures and letters in various languages. I'll let you figure those out. However, we can still use the second image above for: 1) describing the three natures of God as One, 2) the plight of mankind in choosing between everlasting life (salvation) or everlasting death (damnation), and 3) the reunion of mankind with God. In short, we can use the squares in the image to reveal the meaning of the Divine Word, the gospel of Jesus Christ.

To go into great detail about each of those three subjects could fill volumes of books. Instead, let me share the second image in another form, and provide a couple Scripture verses. Make your own cross. Choose wisely!
