The Reichenbach Fall Theory (Part 3)
This is the Game Changer, this is the Peak, this is the MOST INTENSE PART. Coincidence? I THINK NOT.
He knew, Moriarty knew all along..

Part 2 : https://chickencatsandwine.tumblr.com/post/169233655754/the-reichenbach-falls-theory-part-2
This will be focusing on the BIBLICAL Terminology of “LAZARUS”
We all know that Lazarus, in the Biblical Terminology from the Bible, means “Raised from the Dead.” But lets dig deeper into this rabbit hole.
There are 2 Lazarus, from the Bible. One is Lazarus of Bethany, who was raised from the dead. He was the one I correlate to with the theory of Sherlock coming back to life, but then I noticed that there is another Lazarus, another person. How did I notice this? Well.. GET READY TO SHIT YOURSELF.
In my theory (Part 1), concluded already that there was a “coincidental” match of the name RICHARD LAZARUS, because it seems to combine RICHARD Brooke and LAZARUS. In recap, there is a psychology theory of emotions called the Lazarus Theory, created by Dr. Richard Lazarus, who died FALLING in 2002. COINCIDENTALY, Gatiss played a Character named Richard Lazarus in Doctor Who, who seeks for immortality, and died FALLING. Check out the Part 1 post if you need deeper briefing.
This is where it gets mind-blowing..
We all know that Reichenbach was derived from Richard Brook. Logically, Richard is Reichen. Reich is an old germanic root syllable, which means Rich/Powerful. Richard however, can be styled into Reichardt, Reichert, Reich(en) with the additional en/t often being added into names for style. Throughout the globe, countries with Germanic roots tend to have these name too, only slightly different. Like Reichert, as Reicher. I mentioned this for a reason.
Let’s take Richard Lazarus, our findings from Part 1, and convert it to German. Reichen Lazarus. Surprise! There’s a story about “Reicher Mann und amer Lazarus”. Convert it back to English, it translates to “The Rich Man and Lazarus”. (Reicher is used for the Title of the story, however the description uses Reichen). This story tells vivid accounts of the Afterlife.
The next explanations include bible verses, that seem very fitting..
The story the Rich Man and Lazarus came from the Gospel of Luke.
Take a look at 19 till 22. It is translatable as the Rich Man (Moriarty) and Lazarus(Sherlock). Why? Lazarus longs to ‘eat’ what fell from the rich man’s table. Sherlock CRAVES and wants to solve what Moriarty is feeding him. Cases. Until one day, just like Lazarus, he died because of it. NOW PAY ATTENTION.
“22. The angels carried him to Abraham’s side.” Sounds Familiar? Remember what Sherlock said in the Reichenbach Fall?
“I may be on the side of the angels but don’t think for one second that I am one of them.” – Sherlock Holmes
THIS gives a huge reference regarding the what is mentioned about Lazarus in the Gospel of Luke. But that’s not just it…you see..
Moriarty is a mastermind in implementing manipulation. Moriarty knew it all along. Let me show you why.
Here are the exchange of dialogues between Sherlock and Moriarty, on the rooftop at the Reichenbach Fall. (In order, selected). Pay attention to the bolded words.
“All my life I’ve been searching for distractions. You were the best distraction and now I don’t even have you. Because I’ve beaten you.” - Moriarty
“Rich Brook in German is Reichen Bach,the case that made my name.“ -Sherlock
“I knew you’d fall for it. That’s your weakness, you always want everything to be clever. Now, shall we finish the game? One final act. Glad you chose a tall building, nice way to do it.” - Moriarty
“Genius detective proved to be a fraud. I read it in the paper, so it must be true. I love newspapers. Fairytales.” - Moriarty
“Your friends will die if you don’t.” - Moriarty
“Yes, but I’m not my brother, remember? I am you – prepared to do anything; prepared to burn; prepared to do what ordinary people won’t do. You want me to shake hands with you in hell? I shall not disappoint you.” - Sherlock
“Naah. You talk big. Naah. You’re ordinary. You’re ordinary – you’re on the side of the angels.” - Moriarty
And that’s when Sherlock mentioned about his well known quote… of being by the side of the angels. Just like what the Rich Man and Lazarus’s story was written.
Watch as Moriarty specifically say “the side of the angels”. While he could’ve just mentioned “You’re one of the good guys.”
Moriarty is capable of convincing Sherlock that he was Gay at first. Moriarty had it all..planned. ALL PLANNED. As mentioned, Moriarty loves FAIRYTALES, Pretty Grimms. This was all his plan. He decided to bring a fairytale back to life. This wasn’t about the Reichenbach Fall. This was ALL about LAZARUS. Based on the exchange of their dialogues, Moriarty has been searching for “distractions” all his life. Of course, when he saw Sherlock, he will latch on to him. Since the beginning, it was planned.
Moriarty brought a fairytale back to life. A story back to life. The story of Lazarus.
We mentioned already that there are 2 Lazarus Character in the Bible. Lazarus from the Gospel of Luke, and Lazarus of Bethany. Oh dear, such a brilliant mind. Do you want to know where the story of Lazarus of Bethany was written in the Bible?
Yes darling, you’ve read that right. This sly-smirking bastard had planned everything, and by everything. I meant EVERYTHING. Down to combining both of the Lazarus.
HE IS THE NAPOLEON OF CRIME.
IOU. I owe you. Why an apple was carved with IOU the first time Moriarty started the Game?
The Apple, in Biblical symbolism is a fruit that symbolizes Knowledge, Immortality, Temptation, Sin….and one more thing.
This is where it gets interesting. In the Old Testament, the apple was significant of the fall of man; in the New Testament, it is an emblem of the redemption from that fall. Both Gospel of Luke and John are located in the New Testament. This could mean that by Moriarty giving the Apple to Sherlock, it refers to the symbolism of the Old Testament, that he was going to fall. After the fall, the symbolism changed to the New Testament. Which means the redemption of that fall. Redemption translatable to “Reclaiming” or “Gaining possession” of what he once had. His Life. Back to Lazarus again.
Now, who gave the Apple in the Bible? The Serpent. Which is often mention at the New Testament. Serpents, can be associated to Fortune-Telling. The Serpent is a cunning creature, deceptive, a trickster. Fortune - Telling? So like Moriarty predicting Sherlock’s Demise? Hmm…
Now Keep in mind. The Serpent. Moriarty’s amazing planning. Gospel of John. Lazarus.
In the dialogue above, Moriarty mentioned that he read Sherlock’s death in the paper. IT MUST BE TRUE. He LOVES Newspapers. Oh how he did loves newspapers. He even left clues behind. On the Reichenbach Fall, several Newspapers with dates are shown…. I had a hunch, and what I found was simply, well, insane.
Newspaper shows 10 . 5 . 11 is when Sherlock testifies against Moriarty. 10 May
20 . 9 . 11 is when Moriarty visited Bakerstreet, 20 September
5 . 10 . 11 , Which we can assume is 5 October. This when Sherlock is determined as an Expert Witness for the Trial.
11 . 10 . 11 is when Moriarty “Vanished” 11 October
19 . 11 . 11 is when John and Sherlock were on the Run after the ambassador case 19 November.
20 . 11 . 11 is when Sherlock commited “Suicide”
However.. in John Watson’s blog, its doesn’t match up. In the blog, sherlock’s death date was 16th of June (16 . 6 . 11). Perhaps the Sherlock crew and Moftiss made a mistake. Or did they…..?
They all fit in the biblical Chapters and Verses of the GOSPEL OF JOHN. jaaaaawwwwwn
In this picture, I showed you how I find out which number is for the Chapters and which for the verse. Sorry for sheeeettii (ha get it? sheet?) brightness.
BUT BASICALLY. The Chapter and Verse is determined like this.
JOHN DD : MM-YY (Day, Month, Year)
1. 10-5-11 : John 10 : 5 - 11 , Sherlock testifies against Moriarty. Title of the Chapter is THE GOOD SHEPHERD AND HIS SHEEP. 5 But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger’s voice.” 6 Jesus used this figure of speech, but the Pharisees did not understand what he was telling them.7 Therefore Jesus said again, “Very truly I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep. 8 All who have come before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep have not listened to them. 9 I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved.[a] They will come in and go out, and find pasture. 10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.11 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. In this Chapter Jesus is basically telling people that people who enters the sheep pen by climbing the gate will be a thief. Now, Imagine Sherlock is Jesus in this Chapter. Pharisees were the people in court/trial. The Sheep is the Truth. Thieves/Robbers is Moriarty/villains. THOSE WHO TRY TO BYPASS SHERLOCK ARE EVIL, BECAUSE SHERLOCK IS PROTECTING THE SHEEP, THE TURTH.
2. 20-9-11 : John 20 : 9 - 11, Moriarty visits Bakerstreet after the verdict walking freely. Chapter is THE EMPTY TOMB. 9 (They still did not understand from Scripture that Jesus had to rise from the dead.)10 Then the disciples went back to where they were staying.11 Now Mary stood outside the tomb crying. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb. This is where it gets interesting, because the roles are FLIPPED. Sherlock was Jesus in the first entry, now if you take a look at this chapter. Its basically when Jesus was condemned, “locked in the tomb”. Jesus here is Moriarty. They didn’t understand why he was walking freely. Mary, being the disciple of Jesus, a “student” of Jesus is now Sherlock. Crying could possibly mean he was frustrated and decided to look into the tomb or “why he wasn’t jailed.”. The interesting addition was after this Jesus actually stood behind Mary, and Mary realizes this…but doesn’t RECOGNIZE him. It could be a meaning of Moriarty ‘implementing’ or ‘manipulating’ the idea of Lazarus unconsciously into Sherlock’s brain. Remember, Sherlock was the one who chose the building. (As mentioned in dialouges).
3. 5-10-11 : John 5 : 10-11, Sherlock declared an Expert Witness. Chapter is THE HEALING AT THE POOL. 10 and so the Jewish leaders said to the man who had been healed, “It is the Sabbath; the law forbids you to carry your mat.”11 But he replied, “The man who made me well said to me, ‘Pick up your mat and walk.’ ” In this Chapter, Jesus cured a man by telling him to Pick up his mat and walk. Once again, Jesus could’ve represented Sherlock. Sherlock cured the man by telling him to pick up his mat and walk. This could also translate to Sherlock being able to “cure” him because he is an expert, he knows what to say. Regardless of the fact that there are some people who still don’t believe. Consciousness was starting to spread.
4. 11-10-11 : John 11 : 10-11 Moriarty Vanishes. Chapter is THE DEATH OF LAZARUS. 10 It is when a person walks at night that they stumble, for they have no light.”11 After he had said this, he went on to tell them, “Our friendLazarus has fallen asleep; but I am going there to wake him up.” This is where it gets creepy, Because here Jesus is once again flipped, Moriarty. He was waiting for Sherlock to take the bait, to make a mistake. He is going to wake him up, he’s coming for Sherlock.
5. 19-11-11 : John 19 : 11 (since 11-11 = one verse). This is when Sherlock and John were on the run from the police. GUESS WHAT THE CHAPTER TITLE IS.
JESUS SENTENCED TO BE CRUCIFIED
Jesus answered, “You would have no power over me if it were not given to you from above. Therefore the one who handed me over to you is guilty of a greater sin.” This is when John and Sherlock were fugitives, they were SENTENCED to be captured. Jesus/Sherlock is saying that he won’t be able to get caught unless someone else is perhaps smarter than me. Therefore, the one who turns him in to Moriarty is guilty and in a hella lotta trouble.
6. 20-11-11 : John 20 : 11. Sherlock commits suicide. Chapter Title THE EMPTY TOMB. 11 Now Mary stood outside the tomb crying. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb. Yes, we are back again to the same Chapter. But look how the meaning have changed. Does this remind you of a specific scene in the Reichenbach fall? Mary is John. Now as mentioned before, someone was watching Mary weep. Before it was Jim watching Sherlock’s every move. Now? Sherlock is watching John grieve.
Now here is the even more interesting part. There is a dissonance between the suicide time of the one mentioned in the movie and the one in John’s blog. We thought it would be just a writer’s error. Right?
16-6-11, John 16 : 6 - 11, THE DISCIPLES GRIEF WILL TURN TO JOY.
6 Rather, you are filled with grief because I have said these things. 7 But very truly I tell you, it is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. 8 When he comes, he will prove the world to be in the wrong about sin and righteousness and judgment:9 about sin, because people do not believe in me; 10 about righteousness,because I am going to the Father, where you can see me no longer;11 and about judgment, because the prince of this world now stands condemned.
This is an incredible Biblical Passage. The Advocate in the New Testament depends on the context of the passage, but generally it means One who speaks in ones Defense. One who was SENT by the Father as a helper in court. LOOK AT 8-11. People didn’t believe in Sherlock anymore, he was in a scandal thanks to Moriarty. Because I am going to the Father, where you can see me no longer. This straight up screams ‘I’m going to die John.”.
This all combines into one thing. By the Advocate, Sherlock means the reason, the defense of his innocence, the one information that clarifies his name, can only come if Sherlock dies. Or else, they will NEVER KNOW THE TRUTH. Take a look at this quote from TRF, THIS WILL BLOW YOUR MIND AWAY.
“This phone call – it’s, er … it’s my note. It’s what people do, don’t they – leave a note?” - Sherlock
This is where the inconsistency of John’s blog dates come in. 16 - 6 - 11, John 16 : 6 - 11, the Chapter and Verses that PERFECTLY forms a “Suicide Note.” , an “Explanation.” do you see what I mean now? THIS IS SHERLOCK’S SUICIDE NOTE.
Sherlock, knew he is going to die. By the Lazarus keyword, to the reference of the GOSPEL OF JOHN, he knew what this passage says. It all clicked in his head. He has an emotional reaction from it. Familiar to this step by step response? Congratulations! It’s the Lazarus Theory of Appraisal/Emotions.
Situation –> Arousal/Realization –> Emotions.
It all clicked in Sherlock’s brain. He figured it out too late. What Moriarty had done to him. This is why there’s a different date from Sherlock’s death from what is shown in the wikia/newspaper and in John’s blog. It was on purpose. It was a Note, a suicide Note.
Which means, in the end after Moriarty’s death. Sherlock realized and knew he lost.
Now take at the dates. There’s one number that keeps occurring. The number 11. 11 consist of 1, and 11 itself. Take a look at the Chapter Title of John 1, and John 11. They are..
THE WORD BECAME FLESH and THE DEATH OF LAZARUS.
The story became a reality. Lazarus happened.
“I’ve given you a glimpse, Sherlock, just a teensie glimpse of what I’ve got going on out there in the big bad world. I’m a specialist, you see? Like you.“―Moriarty in ”The Great Game“.
Moriarty implemented the Lazarus Theory of Emotions, from Dr. Richard Lazarus (A real person), in Sherlock’s mind. How did I know? Sherlock was the one who CHOSE THE BUILDING. Moriarty pointed to the Fall of Man with the Apple IOU. Moriarty left biblical clues on the Newspaper dates since he loves Newspapers. Fairytails too. Moriarty encouraged Sherlock to fall, by ‘feeding’ him what he needs like the Rich Man and Lazarus (Gospel of Luke) story. But most importantly…
Moriarty knew Sherlock would be coming back from the dead.
He still have plans made with Eurus doesn’t he?
But regardless of what happened in the Reichenbach fall. Moriarty won. The damage was done. The Lazarus Theory he used to fill Sherlock’s brain with no more other options until it was too late to realize..was done. That’s why Sherlock experienced the Lazarus Theory of Emotions, the Secondary Appraisal (Part 2), why he coded ‘Lazarus’ to Mycroft (Part 1), and creating a double phenomenon by also doing the Lazarus Theory of Fake belief for John. 16-6-11, John 16 : 6-11 was his note. He realized he was too late.
We all thought that Sherlock chose LAZARUS, but this CHANGES EVERYTHING.
Sherlock didn’t choose LAZARUS.
And that’s why he Jumped.
“I will burn your heart,” Moriarty said.
“I owe you”, JOHN mentioned in his Grave.
…and when Sherlock came back to London, who did he want to see again?
