Published by Was that incontrovertible or an incontinent convertible?
According to the writers of the CodeFinder Millennium Edition, Bible Code Software, it was on the 1st of September in the year 1994, when Michael Drosnin gave a letter to a close personal friend of then Israeli Prime Minister, Yitzhak Rabin.
This letter informed the Prime Minister of Drosnin’s results of a code search on Yitzhak Rabin’s name. It seems that Yitzhak Rabin was crossed by the term “assassin that will assassinate” found in the Hebrew Torah. Subsequently, in spite of this warning, history records that on the 4th of November in the year 1995, Yitzhak Rabin actually was assassinated. The advocates of this Bible Code see this particular synchronicity as an indication of incontrovertible evidence of this code’s reality.
Interest in the Bible Code has continued to grow since that time, but is it real?
With every code matrix they talk about astronomical odds against these words just happening by coincidence. What they seem to neglect is that while the odds may only be 1 in 10 to the 340th power of something happening, there is still that 1 chance, and it just so happens that they’ve found that 1. The only way this would truly be impressive, is if it were completely impossible, and then still happened, anyway. As long as there is any chance, at all, then it’s not impossible, and therefore could happened, no matter how improbable it might me. When you have a large enough sample of words, improbable combinations will occur.
Probability Game
The fact is that some folks have found when they apply the same principles as the Bible Code to other books of great length, like “Moby Dick”, you get very similar results. It appears that any piece of literature of significant length can produce these same patterns. It’s more like a probability game.
So was this Bible Code divinely created?
Or little more than finding patterns in words like finding bunnies in the clouds?
There are plenty of folks who do believe. If you have further interest, this would be a good site to check out, Bible Code Digest. Bible Code Digest sites many examples, and even suggest that Sir Isaac Newton may have been a “Bible Code pioneer”. A bold claim, at best, though it is true that Isaac did use a form of cryptographic analysis of the Bible. However, it was not related to the current techniques used with Bible Code research. In all fairness, if Isaac was still with us today, I’d find it pretty easy to think that he might well involve himself with this current research, and probably advance it to a superior level above and beyond what the folks are doing with it now.
Do your own research
For more information about the Bible Code, another site to look at is: The Bible Codes. While I must admit that I gave this site only a cursory overview, it does have some interesting counter arguments against the critiques of the Bible Code. It seems that some of the articles at this site are written by Jewish Bible Code proponents who are critical of Christian Bible Code believers. Even among Bible Code advocates there is dissention and disagreement in methodology. Some Torah Code supporters see the techniques used by Christians as equally “counterfeit” as those used to reveal apparently coded messages in “Moby Dick” or “War and Peace”.
Decisive conclusions remain elusive
While most if not all of these code results look suspect to this writer, with no clear agreement on methods of how to find Bible Codes, at this time, answers remain elusive.
CodeFinder(tm) will also work on any other large body of text. Feed it “War and Peace”, Dawkins’ “God Delusion”, or the text from this Web site, and watch the “hidden messages” appear.
Great article. Personally I don’t know if there is actual code written in there. I mean with all the religious documents out there, there’s the people that will intentionally make it true if possible. The fact that maybe one in every million of these things happen could be based on luck. Something is bound to be correct if you predict enough.
The name of the messiah is Yahshua, not yeshua, and his father YaHWeH. Now YaHWeH created the earth and everything in it in 6 days, and the stars for light for the earth. That includes the DNA strands in your chromosomes which he can look at in an instant and tell you every answer to any question before you could formulate it. He also created all the stars and named every single on, saying there is no message is kinda like saying if he comes around some day maybe we’ll have Bill Gates teach him how to read computer code and then see if he can fix up a windows OS that works! Open your minds and learn what he has set before you before assuming anything because you know nothing o-man. How many words are in these books you consider lengthy? And then consider how many genomes or individual different little things there are,(that simple minded man) knows about, or the number of stars, which grow in number every time we point the telescope in a different direction, or the grains of sand? Yahweh knows the answer to each of these questions and more than likely has already made it known, but you lean on your own understanding and don’t realize Just how magnificent his mind is. But soon, very soon you will! These answers are sealed from your understanding, because Reverence of YaHWeH is the beginning of wisdom, search from the book of YaHWeH and Repent of breaking his laws and maybe he’ll allow you to see with your eyes and hear with your ears, until then you are cut off!
I think that the Bible Code is as stupid is as stupid does BUT i love the King James Version
There is no Bible Code. If you could ask Moses, he would tell you that he never heard of it or else he would have spoken of it.
