Bible Code TheoryAn ancient tradition says that when God dictated the Torah to Moses, letter by letter, historic facts, past, present and future were encoded in the Hebrew Scriptures by an encryption scheme which may be described and unlocked. In 1994 the old tradition received a sound scientific basis when three Israeli mathematicians, (Professor Elyahu Rips, from the Hebrew University, Doron Witztum and Yoav Rosenberg), applied statistical methods and computers to exploration the Book of Genesis, searching by ֲ"equidistant skip intervalֲ" for the encrypted names of 32 sages who lived amid the 9th and 18th centuries, checking each nth letter, where n may take any value. They published their study, Equidistant Letter Sequences in the Book of Genesis, in the scholarly diary Statistical Science, (Statistical Science 9:429-438), regarding what they called ELS (Equidistant Letter Sequences) in Genesis. Their computer found most of the names, with the odds versus this occurring by probability calculated at 62,500 to 1. The summary of the article stated: ֲ"When the Book of Genesis is written as two-dimensional arrays, equidistant letter sequences spelling words with related significations many times appear in close proximity, with analysis showing that the (statistical) effect is significant at the level of 0.00002ֲ", (i.e. the odds are 62,500 to 1). The researchers, for comparison purposes, did similar analysis in a Hebrew translation of War and Peace, a scrambled Book of Genesis, and other texts. In none of them the results were dissimilar from what would take place merely by chance. This study gave mathematical and statistical proof that data when it comes to personalities, events and dates may be found encoded in the Hebrew Scriptures, giving statistical proof to the faith that uncanny descriptions of world events, which have occurred thousands of years after the Bible was written, seem to be encoded in the Bible. This article, tantamount to scientific proof of the existence of God, captured the worldֲ's attention, getting the center of international interest and ardent controversy. Other researchers encountered that the name of Itzjak Rabin, the Israeli Prime Minister, which is found encoded only once in the Hebrew Scriptures, (in the Book of Deuteronomy, from chapter 2, verse 33 to chapter 24, verse 16), appears crossed, (as in a crossword) by the phrase assassin will assassinate. When Rabin was murdered, the Bible Codes theory became the center of international interest and ardent controversy. Books on the subject became huge best sellers. Software was produced to grant users to search by themselves the Hebrew Scriptures for concealed codes. Today, with the release of Bible Codes 2000, any English speaking person may search the Hebrew Scriptures for concealed codes without knowing Hebrew. The user may type the search code in English, the program mechanically translates it to Hebrew, searches and retrieves the text into a matrix, analyzes it and mechanically translates all the found words to English! Description of the Bible Codes theory The theory of Bible Code, as summarized by Dr. Jeffrey Satinover in his book, ֲ"Cracking the Bible Codeֲ", states the following: i) The Torah (Five Books of Moses) may both be treated as a sacred text in the usual way, and as an encrypted text containing numerous kind of coded message. ii) The coded message was constructed by utilizing successive letters in the encrypted text chosen at equidistant skip intervals. iii) The content of the coded message serves to assert the unity and integrity of the encrypted text. iv) The content appears in the form of a statistical tendency for chosen words to appear in identified emplacements at dandier frequency than it ought to occur by chance. v) One such tendency is for a code to appear a heap of times in a passage of related text. vi) Another very necessary tendency is that two or more dissimilar but related words may be found in the matrix in unusually close proximity. This may be either the ֲ"crossword effectֲ", i.e. the key codeֲ's vertical column is crossed horizontally or diagonally by a meaningfully affiliated word, or the ֲ"cluster effectֲ", where meaningfully related words appear in the matrix more almost together than unrelated words. vii) If a specified code is found at various dissimilar equidistant skip intervals, the littler intervals must be considered more significant than the more spectacular ones for two reasons: one is that if the skip intervals get large, ֲ"close clustersֲ" lose their meaning or they become more difficult to assess; the second reason is that in a big sufficient range of text it is possible to find a specified word galore times at dissimilar intervals. A short interval would make the found occurrence be considered as worthy of note. Internal proof in the Bible for the existence of the code. The Bible has various verses, which may be interpreted as giving proof to what the theory of the code states: God dictated the Torah to Moses: ֲ"And Moses wrote all the words of the Lordֲ". (Exodus 24:4). God encrypted: ֲ"It is the glory of God to conceal a thingֲ". (Proverbs 25:2). Messages have been hidden: ֲ"But you, Daniel,shut up the words, and seal the bookֲ". (Daniel 12:4). Man is encouraged to unlock the codes and find understanding: ֲ"Happy is the man who finds wisdom, and the man who gets understandingֲ". (Proverbs 3:13). Can the code be found also in other sacred books? There is an on-going debate amongst ֲ"Torah onlyֲ" and ֲ"Whole Bibleֲ" researchers whether the codes may be found only in the Torah (the firstborn five books of the Bible), or in the whole Bible. The ֲ"Torah onlyֲ" researchers state that, altho all the Scriptures are divinely inspired, the Torah (Five Books of Moses) is distinguishable amid all the sacred writings, because it is the only text which God dictated letter by letter, in an precise sequence. Evidence for this statement are the Bible verses: ֲ"And the Lord said to Moses: Write these wordsֲ", (Exodus 34:27) ֲ"And Moses wrote this Torahֲ", (Deuteronomy 31:9). There are no similar claims in regards to the other Bible books. For this reason, the ֲ"Torah onlyֲ" researchers concentrate their investigations only in the text of the Torah. These scholars consider that the text of the Torah is totally authenti because, through the centuries, scribes have been forbidden to make any changes when writing a Torah scroll. Learned scribes have copied the Torah through the generations underneath the rigorous supervision of rabbinical authorities. Each scroll is examined letter by letter to prevent errors. (In these days of scanners and computers, software programs have been produced which do this exacting job). The act of in a faithful manner sustaining the Torah has always been for the scribes a sacred endeavor. This copying routine is done only for the Torah, not for the other biblical books. Therefore, it is possible that the other books, though they are divinely inspired, may have acquired variant spellings for the duration of the course of the centuries. The structure of the codes is such that even the addition (or subtraction) of one single letter, or the dissimilar placement of a letter, will cause that a code found in one manuscript may not be found in another. ֲ"Whole Bibleֲ" researchers are presently investigating the possible existence of concealed codes in other biblical books. The developers of Bible Codes 2000 consider that as long as exploration is done in a decently controlled fashion, the results, whatsoever they may turn out to be, will be a utile contribution to the on-going debate. If God hid messages in the Bible code, are we permitted to decode them? There is a school of thought, which accepts the existence of the codes but argues that if God hid them, we do not have the right to undertake to decode them. We respectfully differ from this point of view, basing ourselves in the biblical verse, which says that ֲ"It is the glory of God to conceal a thing, but the honor of kings is to search out a matterֲ". (Proverbs 25:2). It is likewise written in Proverbs: ֲ"Happy is the man who finds wisdom, and the man who gets understandingֲ". (Proverbs 3:13). Can ֲ– or must - the Bible code be applied to predict the future? Most people, upon initial hearing of the codes, ask whether they may be applied to predict the future. Although all events, past, present and future, are encoded in the Bible, the basic problem with respect to codes regarding future events is that there is no way of knowing that a found code is true other than by comparing it to a known fact, i.e. if it relates to events that have already happened. It is humanly totally unlikely to know whether a code which deals with a future event, is unfeigned or not, because, by definition, the future is unknown to us. Only the past is known. Therefore, it is commended to the user, when searching for codes affiliated to future events, that he ought to take into account that the code determinations regarding the future are ֲ"probableֲ" (i.e. their statistical likelihood may be calculated), not absolute. The theory of the Bible Codes is not fatalistic but shows that some paths are possible, and our selections are crucial. Their intrinsic statistical nature, (probabilities), prevents them from being employed as an oracle. Analyzing the conclusions it may be said that the nearest affiliated words are more probable than those that are far apart, but none is impossible. We may only discover the ones that have occurred after the fact. Some persons ask, if we may not discover the future through the codes, what is their purpose? Dr. Jeffrey B. Satinover in his article ֲ"Divine Authorship?ֲ" (BR October 1995 Page 44) stated the following: ֲ"What then was the intent of encoding this data into the text? Some would say it is the Authorֲ's signatureֲ… His way of ascertaining usֲ… that He is precisely who He had said He isֲ". Although the Bible forbids divination, (Leviticus 19:26, Deuteronomy 18:10), code researchers believe that using a computer as a tool to unlock the Bible codes which refer to the future, does not fall beneath that prohibition because decoding the encrypted messages may not be considered divination.

Atheists if the bible is a copycat book, may you give us the names of the firstborn books? I don't take the word of anybody, whether they are atheists are believers. If you say the bible is a book copied from other books, may you at least give us the title of the introductory books? I don't take people's word either, and I observe that you haven't gotten any specific titles for answers. I'm not much on hindu or egyptian mythology, but when I was a young teen, I LOVED reading Greek mythology; Sifrit, Hercules, Thor, Zeus, Medusa, etc., it has now been some years since I was a teenager but I may tell you from personal experience there are NO stories in Greek mythology that are REMOTELY like the stories (truths) in the Bible. As for son of man, he speaks for himself. You are to be commended for "testing" everything versus the Holy Innerent Word of God. Yours in Christ, |
