Bible Code

Biblical times, 1,200 B.C.E. ? Israeli scientists discovered a decoding key, which can reveal from the text of the Bible every historical event, every historical person, which changed the flow of history ? Adolf Hitler, Isaac Newton, landing of the men on the moon. Is in the stories of the Bible hidden something more? Will the Bible code reveal our fate? Who could write the Bible with hidden code inside? Who knows history of humankind thousands of years before it come about. Is the Bible code the ultimate proof of the existence of God?

Bible (books from Greek bibli) is the sacred text of Christians and Jews, most wide-spread volume in the world. It is a collection of tens of books. First five books of the Bible were taken from the Jewish torah. Was it the God, who inspired the writers of the torah, or is it just human imagination?

Slovakian rabbi Michael Ber Weissmandel discovered hidden code inside the Bible.

The first one who noticed code in the Bible was Slovakian (Eastern Europe) rabbi Michael Ber Weissmandel 60 years ago. During holocaust, he and his family were put on a train to the camps, which sentenced them to death. Alone, rabbi Weissmandel escaped the death train and made his way to the America, where he was able to continue his research.

Jewish scholar discovered, that in foundations of the torah is embedded a pattern, which in regular distances creates new words. If you start from the very first Hebrew equivalent of the letter T (tav) of the first book of Torah called Genesis, skip 49 letters, the 50th letter is a V (vav). Skipping over another 49 letters brings you to an R (resh), and a final 49-letter skip brings you to H (heh). You have got TVRH, or Torah as it is spelled in Hebrew. This is not so surprising. However, when you apply same reading pattern to first verses of next parts of the torah, the books of Exodus, Numbers and Deuteronomy, and in each case, you also skip exactly 49 letters, you get TVRH again. In fact, TVRH is encoded 56,769 times in Genesis.

The torah is the most sacred text of Jews. In synagogues, only the torah written on parchment is used. Scroll is deposited on a special location, wrapped into precious embroiled velvet with wooden handles and often protected with a silver cover. Original torah was written in Hebrew without diacritical marks and consists of 304,805 characters.

Sacred text of torah.

In 1994, publisher of scientific journal ?Statistical Science? printed astonishing statistical evidence proving the existence of a hidden code in the torah. Ilya Rips, professor of mathematics at The Hebrew University, and Dr. Doron Witztum, from Jerusalem technical university, got an idea to write the torah as a single rectangular letter array consisting only of letters with no spaces or punctuation marks.

Words from this letter array are allowed to be read in the same way as is known to solvers of crossword puzzle -- horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, and in any direction ? left to right or right to left, top down or bottom up. Moreover, letters may be regularly skipped and looking for hidden words is so demanding that this task can be performed only with a help of computer.

Rips and Witztum wondered what would happen when they try to find some names of well-known people of history in the torah with ELS. The Encyclopedia of Great Men of Israel (1961) contains short biographies of Jewish rabbis who lived between the 8th and the 19th centuries. (Hebrew dates are written using letters only. Letters represent numbers in a systematic way, with the first 10 letters of the alphabet representing the numbers 1 to 10.) They compiled the list of selected rabbis and their dates of their birth or death.

ELS code itself is very primitive. However, due to the huge quantity of text in the torah consisting of 78,064 characters, different letter distance, large number of combinations of the first letter, different search directions, they had to call computer specialist Yoav Rosenberg, who created a computer program for ELS analysis of the torah. When they finally executed the program, they were stunned. All 34 entered notable figures of the Great Sages from Jewish history appeared in the torah.

They decided to publish their results in a scientific journal, but one of the referees wanted to make same test on first 78,064 letters of the Hebrew translation of Tolstoy?s War and Peace. In any sufficiently long text could be found Hitler, Armstrong or Donald Duck, but with small statistical significance. So Rips and Witztum executed program with ?War and Peace? text and now the rabbis list was not found. The referees then found the math used to compile the probabilities to be ironclad.

Paper was accepted for publication and in a statement in the same issue of the journal, editor Robert Kass wrote: ?Our referees were baffled: their prior beliefs made them think the Book of Genesis could not possibly contain meaningful references to modern day individuals, yet when the authors carried out additional analyses and checks the effects persisted. The paper is thus offered to Statistical Science readers as a challenging puzzle.?

Rips and Witztum continued in their studies of historical events with torah. Not even that program found meaningful words in proximity to time datum, it even revealed ? and it is important ? that probability these characters were clustered in that way by accident was very small, only 16 parts in 1 million (p = 0,000016).

Former cryptanalyst Herold Gans from American Pentagon wanted to disclaim the results of Israeli team. He created his own program and repeated the text analysis. Mr. Gans was impressed, when he gets same results as Rips and Witztum. Bible code appeared again.

In 1994, journalist Michael Drosnin tried the same procedure on present world leaders. He used the name of Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin. He found his name in the text crossed with words ?an assassin who will assassinate?. Horrified Drosnin warned Rabin, but vainly. Religious fanatic, university student of law Yigal Amir, killed Israeli prime minister on November 1995. This detailed prediction was really made in advance. Reliable witnesses confirmed that Drosnin warned Rabin of the danger to his life a full year before the assassination.

Some of historical events encoded in crossword clusters which Mr. Drosnin discovered includes words ?Adolf Hitler?, ?Nazi and enemy? and ?blood bath? or ?atomic holocaust?, ?Japan? and ?5705 (1945)?. Besides of all these unhappy events, Drosnin also presents a positive clusters like ?Shakespeare?, ?Macbeth and Hamlet? and ?presented on stage? or ?Edison?, ?electricity? and ?light bulb?.

Who could write the text, which make sense not only during normal reading, but also after its decoding with equidistant letter sequences? Someone, who knows, what will happen in the future? Was it the God? Or, was it some extraterrestrial, ?Encoder?, who traveled in a time and saw the history of humankind?

Array of code revealing prediction of Michael Drosnin's death.

Hides the Bible, behind the stories of creation, miracles and moral legacy, encoded message about the future of humankind? Famous example is the array discovered by Michael Drosnin, containing Rabin?s full name and the words ?a murderer who murders? in Hebrew. These words appear as a plain text in Deuteronomy, chapter 4, verse 42. Our Bible translates them to ?the slayer... which should kill his neighbor...? Mr. Drosnin translates them as ?an assassin, who will assassinate.? The skip in Rabin?s name is almost 5,000 letters. The Bible code has many degrees of freedom, which you can choose in such way, that you get what you wanted to get in advance. Drosnin?s actual warning to Rabin was ?I believe you are in real danger, but that danger can be averted?. Of course, in Israel of those days, this prediction would have been fulfilled anyway, whether Rabin had been assassinated or not.

Moreover, introduced decoding of the torah with ELS can work only if the text of the Bible we have now is completely identical, to the last letter, to the one which was written according to tradition by God?s inspiration thousands of years ago. If there was added or omitted just one letter, the code will break. Is it possible, that Jewish rabbis copied the text of the torah for thousands of years without any mistake?
