Solution Solution: A timely religious message | Comment 6 of 15 |
The sentence you are saying is an exhortation to follow the teachings of the Scriptures during this religious season, and to feed the homeless.
 
Explanation:
 
We can interpret the three cryptic lines as three words of seven, two, and five letters:
 
First word:
A
abcdefghijkl 
abcdefghijkl
abcdefghijklmno
abcdefghijkl
abcdefghijklmnopqrst
ab 
 
Second word:
abcdefghijklmnopqr
abcdefgh
 
Third word:
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwx
abcdefghijkl
abcdefghijkl
abcdefghijklmno
 
Employing the ending letters, we get:
 
"Alloltb rh xllo."
 
This is clearly an encrypted sentence which can be solved by letter substitution. There is agreement between the 2nd 3rd, and 5th letters of the first word, and the 2nd and 3rd letters of the third word. There is also agreement between the 4rth letters of the first and third words. All other letters are different.
 
If we substitute:
 
a <-- h
l <-- e
o <-- d
t <-- r
b <-- s
r <-- g
h <-- o
x <-- f 
 
This produces the timely Judeo-Christian  message: 
 
"Heeders go feed."
 
(That is, the failthful should heed the Scriptures and feed the homeless).
