Pam and I went out for dinner Saturday night and decided to have Chinese 
food. After dinner we got our fortune cookies and as luck would have it, 
I got two fortunes in my cookie.
Pam asked, "What does your fortune say?" 
Ian, "It says, 'You have a new love on the horizon.'" 
Pam, "Oh it does not. Let me see it."
So I let her see it and it said, "You will spend old age in comfort and 
material wealth."
"How do you get a new love on the horizon out of that," Pam demanded.
"Well, how else am I going to spend my old age in comfort and material
wealth?" I answered.
Pam, "Well what does the other one say?"
Ian, "You have a new love on the horizon."
Pam, "Oh it does not. Let me see it."
She reads, "'You will pass a difficult test that will make you happier.' 
How do you explain that?"
Ian, "Well, you know it's going to be difficult for me to find a rich 
woman and get her to marry me. That's the difficult test. The money is 
going to make me happier."

I feel I'm ready to interpret the Bible now.

That's pretty funny!  However I don't think that you are ready to
interpret the Bible yet because you still think too logically.

What you could have said instead is that this will mean that you
will meet Elvis after he has risen from the dead.  Since Elvis
doesn't want to be seen by the world yet he obviously doesn't
want a bank account.  So he gives his money to you for safe 
keeping.  He then dies again by an overzealous Christian who doesn't
want another "resurrected from the dead" dude ruining his faith.
This is how you get to keep the money.

The test comes in to play by finding Elvis in the first place.

I would say that most Christians would find my explanation more
logical than yours.
