Code Word For The Those Who Believe

a: Figurative language ~
b: secret codes used in the military

What: "When you remember about this vast spiritual war that has been raging for millennia, a military analogy doesn't seem too far-fetched. God's figurative language is like the secret codes used in the military. Does a general send uncoded messages over the air to be intercepted by his enemies? Of course not! No general would last very long if he kindly faxed the plans for his next attack to the enemy. The Bible's prophecies describe what God is planning to accomplish in the future; they are his battle strategies. This is why he hides them in figurative language. He doesn't want his messages to be intercepted by the enemy and used against him."
