What are the Bible
code? The theory of the Bible Code
states that imbedded in the Hebrew text of the Old
Testament are names and historic facts, past, present
and future, which can be decoded with the help of a
computer.
An 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 system which can 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), used
statistical methods and computers to research the Book
of Genesis, searching by “equidistant skip interval”
for the encrypted names of 32 sages who lived between
the 9th and 18th centuries, checking every nth letter,
where n can take any value. They published their study,
Equidistant Letter Sequences in the Book of Genesis, in
the scholarly journal Statistical Science, (Statistical
Science 9:429-438), about what they called ELS
(Equidistant Letter Sequences) in Genesis.
Their
computer found most of the names, with the odds against
this occurring by chance 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
meanings often appear in close proximity, with analysis
showing that the (statistical) effect is significant at
the level of 0.00002”, (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 different from what would
occur simply by chance.
This study gave
mathematical and statistical evidence that information
about personalities, events and dates can be found
encoded in the Hebrew Scriptures, giving statistical
proof to the belief 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
evidence of the existence of God, captured the worldÂ’s
attention, becoming the center of international interest
and passionate controversy.
Other researchers
discovered 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
passionate controversy. Books on the subject became huge
best sellers.
Software was developed to allow
users to search by themselves the Hebrew Scriptures for
hidden codes. Today, with the release of Bible Codes
2000, any English speaking person can search the Hebrew
Scriptures for hidden codes without knowing Hebrew. The
user can type the search code in English, the program
automatically translates it to Hebrew, searches and
retrieves the text into a matrix, analyzes it and
automatically 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 Code”, states the
following:
i) The Torah (Five Books of Moses) can
both be treated as a sacred text in the usual way, and
as an encrypted text containing some kind of coded
message.
ii) The coded message was constructed by
utilizing successive letters in the encrypted text
selected at equidistant skip intervals.
iii) The
content of the coded message serves to confirm the unity
and integrity of the encrypted text.
iv) The
content appears in the form of a statistical tendency
for selected words to appear in identified locations at
greater frequency than it should occur by
chance.
v) One such tendency is for a code to
appear many times in a passage of related
text.
vi) Another very important tendency is that
two or more different but related words can be found in
the matrix in unusually close proximity. This can be
either the “crossword effect”, i.e. the key code’s
vertical column is crossed horizontally or diagonally by
a meaningfully related word, or the “cluster effect”,
where meaningfully related words appear in the matrix
more closely together than unrelated words.
vii)
If a specified code is found at several different
equidistant skip intervals, the smaller intervals should
be considered more meaningful than the larger ones for
two reasons: one is that if the skip intervals get
large, “close clusters” lose their meaning or they
become more difficult to assess; the second reason is
that in a large enough range of text it is possible to
find a specified word many times at different intervals.
A short interval would make the found occurrence be
considered as worthy of note.

Internal evidence in the Bible
for the existence of the code.
The Bible has several verses, which can be
interpreted as giving evidence to what the theory of the
code states:
God dictated the Torah to Moses:
“And Moses wrote all the words of the Lord”. (Exodus
24:4).
God encrypted: “It is the glory of God to
conceal a thing”. (Proverbs 25:2).
Messages have
been hidden: “But you, Daniel,shut up the words, and
seal the book”. (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
understanding”. (Proverbs 3:13).

Can the code be found also in
other sacred books? There is an
on-going debate between “Torah only” and “Whole
Bible” researchers whether the codes can be found only
in the Torah (the first five books of the Bible), or in
the whole Bible.
The “Torah only” researchers
state that, although all the Scriptures are divinely
inspired, the Torah (Five Books of Moses) is unique
among all the sacred writings, because it is the only
text which God dictated letter by letter, in an exact
sequence. Evidence for this statement are the Bible
verses:
“And the Lord said to Moses: Write these
words”, (Exodus 34:27) “And Moses wrote this Torah”,
(Deuteronomy 31:9).
There are no similar claims
about the other Bible books. For this reason, the
“Torah only” researchers concentrate their
investigations only in the text of the Torah. These
scholars consider that the text of the Torah is
completely reliable 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 under the strict
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 developed which do this exacting job). The act of
faithfully preserving the Torah has always been for the
scribes a sacred endeavor. This copying procedure is
done only for the Torah, not for the other biblical
books.
Therefore, it is possible that the other
books, although they are divinely inspired, may have
acquired variant spellings during the course of the
centuries. The structure of the codes is such that even
the addition (or subtraction) of one single letter, or
the different placement of a letter, will cause that a
code found in one manuscript may not be found in
another.
“Whole Bible” researchers are
currently investigating the possible existence of hidden
codes in other biblical books.
The developers of
Bible Codes 2000 consider that as long as research is
done in a properly controlled fashion, the results,
whatever they may turn out to be, will be a useful
contribution to the on-going debate.

If God hid messages in the Bible
code, are we allowed 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
try 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 matter”. (Proverbs 25:2).
It is also written
in Proverbs: “Happy is the man who finds wisdom, and
the man who gets understanding”. (Proverbs
3:13).

Can – or should - the Bible code
be used to predict the
future?
Most people, upon first
hearing of the codes, ask whether they can be used to
predict the future.
Although all events, past,
present and future, are encoded in the Bible, the basic
problem with respect to codes about 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 impossible to know whether a code which deals
with a future event, is true or not, because, by
definition, the future is unknown to us. Only the past
is known.
Therefore, it is recommended to the
user, when searching for codes related to future events,
that he should take into account that the code findings
about the future are “probable” (i.e. their
statistical likelihood can be calculated), not absolute.
The theory of the Bible Codes is not fatalistic but
shows that many paths are possible, and our choices are
crucial. Their intrinsic statistical nature,
(probabilities), prevents them from being used as an
oracle. Analyzing the findings it can be said that the
closest related words are more probable than those that
are far apart, but none is impossible. We can only
discover the ones that have occurred after the
fact.
Some people ask, if we can 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 purpose of encoding this
information into the text? Some would say it is the
AuthorÂ’s signatureÂ… His way of assuring usÂ… that He
is precisely who He had said He is”.
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 under that
prohibition because decoding the encrypted messages can
not be considered divination.
