Welcome to The Open Scroll!

If you like the adventure of peeling back the layers of things to discover what's hiding underneath - you'll find a lot to like here. If you're looking for real people who have been crushed - and crushed again - and find ludicrous mercy at the end of it, you've found us! If you've been desperately crying out to the Bridegroom and are becoming aware that He's drawing you to Himself in a very private and personal way - you'll find a lot to like here. If you've been around the block a few times and have grown weary of the nonsense that passes for Christianity - you may find refreshment here. If you're looking to find support for the living of a comfortable life - this isn't for you.

Welcome to The Open Scroll. If this is your first visit, let me introduce myself. I'm Bob Schlenker, the man responsible for what you find here. I've been ministering since 1980, and online, since 1995. A blog was launched as an adjunct to this website in 2009, called The Open Scroll Blog.

11 And He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers, 12 for the equipping of the saints for the work of service, to the building up of the body of Christ; 13 until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ.
Ephesians 4:11-13

You'll find a range of unique content here and on our other platforms including lots of video.

that He might present to Himself the church in all her glory, having no spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she would be holy and blameless.
Ephesians 5:27

I abound in joy and rejoice as I minister before the Lord, yet do maintain a sober view of things as I reflect on the truth that:

Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter.
Matthew 7:21

The best guide to the content on this website is the holy spirit, which probably brought you here to begin with. If you've begun to explore the "buffet" that has been set out for you and are ready to discover what remains to be either lightly sampled or voraciously consumed according to your appetite and nutritional need, the following introduction may be of some use.

  • Site Content - When Cometh That Thief in the Night! Plus all this - Keys to developing a hearing ear - Practical keys to walking in spiritual authority - What's the mature version of what happened in the Garden of Eden? - What's the real soul piercing story of Christmas? - What are celestial signs and how do they work? - What's the deal with America's destiny according to the Bible? - with pharmaceuticals? - with bells? - with reverse speech? (The viral video is mine: Obama - Yes We Can = Thank You Satan) - What's the deal with the "Great Commission," really? - What's the deal with Goddess worship? - with UFOs (fake and genuine)? - What is meant by mass ceremonial entertainments like those for the Oympics? There's more, plus some useful utilities; a gematria calculator and one that facilitates exploring relationships to the Temple at the Center of Time (David Flynn).
  • Video & Audio - On a range of subjects comparing to what's featured on The Open Scroll Blog, many of these expose the Devil's schemes via a decoding of the Occult symbolism in the imagery and plots of film and movie trailers, TV shows, commercials, and such. It's good to know what you're really looking at, or everyone else is looking at. Ignorance is NOT bliss. We've also given a lot of attention to reverse speech over the years.
  • Video Playlists - This is a catalog of videos that are installments in a series of two or more, which are some of our more engaging and informative! Some deal with a singular media production and others with a particular subject or theme.>
  • Interactive - These studies are all about demonstrating and gleaning insight from thematic patterns in the holy scriptures. This section might well be its own distinct website for the special nature of the content found therein. If you're familiar with the Companion Bible and E .W. Bullinger, you will have encountered examples like these. Some would say that it's scholarly, and yes, academia and scholarly institutions are where you'll traditionally find interest. The fundamentals are actually pretty simple but it represents a hugely impressive phenomenon. I was able to leverage my web development skill to build a platform for creating and presenting these interactive studies. As you explore these, you'll find that having a tall screen with expansive vertical real estate can be very helpful.
  • Other Links - a collection of other resources including a few other websites, online study resources, useful calendars and trauma-based mind-control programming resources, for learning and for recovery.

We have some blogs that are complementary. Except for being able to post on X, which the Lord green-lighted in 2024, we don't do social media, according as the Lord has directed. We also have no books in print or published on Kindle, for the same reason.)

  • The Open Scroll Blog - It's about watching according to the Lord's command to watch, to see what may be seen with the eye that sees and heard with the ear that hears. Tomorrow's post may be an engaging Pop Quiz, insight into some new thing or on something familiar. Our many astute readers help us stay abreast of all kinds of strange happenings. (THANKS!) Ongoing subjects of interest include the game-changer that is a pending time reset, signs in the heavens and signs in the earth, CERN's LHC, the Mandela Effect, decoding Occult symbolism in media of every kind so that the spells that have been so expertly cast to bind you are broken, exposing the signs of the state and globally sponsored ancient religion, insights into Mystery Babylon and the Beast, Bible prophecy, walking in love, social commentary, Illuminati mind-control programming, and so on - across a very wide spectrum.
  • The Mark of the Beast: Code 666 - Exposing the hidden 666 and XO mark of the beast symbolism that saturates our environment.
  • Operation Ezekiel 8 - A piercing exposé on what many have been duped into seeing as the cutting edge of the church of the last days.

I minister here through a wide range of deeper matters addressing love, faith and hope. A walk of abiding in the Lord involves two roughly parallel tracks, like a train. On one hand, there's your character, who you really are. Let's just be honest. That needs work. Mine does too - I'm not done yet. On the other hand, there's what you know and believe. We all grow up being deceived about many things. The church at large often doesn't help much beyond a rather low level, athough it really should. Again, just being honest. Our faith depends on what we believe. If it's not The Truth, nothing good can come of it. You need the right heart and mind - and you need to get it from the Lord Jesus Christ, Y'shua haMashiach! That's what this ministry is about.

11 For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men, 12 instructing us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires and to live sensibly, righteously and godly in the present age, 13 looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus, 14 who gave Himself for us to redeem us from every lawless deed, and to purify for Himself a people for His own possession, zealous for good deeds.
Titus 2:11-14
It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.
Proverbs 25:2
21 And He was saying to them, "A lamp is not brought to be put under a basket, is it, or under a bed? Is it not brought to be put on the lampstand? 22 For nothing is hidden, except to be revealed; nor has anything been secret, but that it would come to light. 23 If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear."
Mark 4:21-23
so that no advantage would be taken of us by Satan, for we are not ignorant of his schemes.
2 Corinthians 2:11
Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves; so be shrewd as serpents and innocent as doves.
Matthew 10:16
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: 24 And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
Psalm 139:23-24
Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I keep Your word.
Psalms 119:67
My soul yearns for you in the night; in the morning my spirit longs for you. When your judgments come upon the earth, the people of the world learn righteousness.
Isaiah 26:9
Seek Yahweh, all you humble of the earth who have carried out His ordinances; Seek righteousness, seek humility. Perhaps you will be hidden in the day of Yahweh's anger.
Zephaniah 2:3
9 "Remember the former things long past,
For I am God, and there is no other;
I am God, and there is no one like Me,
10 Declaring the end from the beginning,
And from ancient times things which have not been done,
Saying, 'My purpose will be established,
And I will accomplish all My good pleasure';
11 Calling a bird of prey from the east,
The man of My purpose from a far country.
Truly I have spoken; truly I will bring it to pass.
I have planned it, surely I will do it.
Isaiah 46:9-11
