Um did they take it from the original Greek, Hebrew and Aramaic? No..? Go home youre drunk...
I have hidden codes using this technique in the book I am writing. When decoded it says, "And in other news, Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead."

God has a long history being very clear in His message to mankind. God doesn’t need secret codes.
In Hanford, Hereford and Hampshire, hurricanes hardly happen.
The point is not the “intent” of the words. It is the ability to make something “real” out of a bunch of letters. It is trying to find patterns where none exist.
The Moby dick example is merely using another text for the process. And the result is akin to the “room full of monkeys” typing Shakespeare.
It is not a “secret message” it defines the boundary conditions of the Universe. It is how He made it all, and established the end from the beginning.
However, Jesus actually said that he talked to the multitude in parables because it was not given to them to understand. Peter, Paul and John talked of mysteries.
We still don’t know what the Seven Thunders said, because John was instructed to refrain from writing it down.
When Peter asked the Risen Jesus what was going to happen to John, Jesus told him it was none of Peter’s business what Jesus did with John.
So when some of the secrets of the future are revealed, we should be happy to be told, and thank YHWH that He cares enough about us to tell them to us.
I was not disputing anyone’s belief in anything. I was merely saying to those who believe in the bible codes are real, that you can create similar results from texts that are not “holy.” Just long.
Those damned hidden passages really make actuarial work difficult.
A possible future landslide from one side of La Palma in the Canary Islands has been predicted and appears to have happened once before (500K years ago)...

And today in other good news...
The argument that you can find meaningful code clusters in books other than the Bible — and the presentation of the Hanukah cluster — has done much to reduce the credibility of Bible codes in the eyes of many. In the case of some codes presented in bestselling books, this was appropriate, because it would be misleading to attach significance to clusters that are comparable to the Hanukah example. For this contribution, Dr. McKay is owed a debt of gratitude. However, when the Hanukah example is used to dismiss the potential validity of all Bible codes, it is totally inappropriate and unfounded. The skeptics will never be able to come up with a counter-example that would begin to compare with the Isaiah 53 cluster, no matter how hard they try, because it doesn’t exist. That will be made evident in this chapter.

Why do the odds get worse and worse as the ELS you are searching for gets longer? It is because, as the number of letters increases, the number of alternative “phrases” that can be found (instead of what you are looking for) increases dramatically. Every letter that is added multiplies the number of alternatives by a factor greater than 20 — because there are 22 letters in the Hebrew alphabet. Because of this, Dr. McKay was able to readily put together the Hanukah cluster as a counter-example — because all of its ELSs are quite short. If he had instead sought to find a cluster of lengthy ELSs from War and Peace, he would have had to work very hard and long to come up with anything of interest. Even then, most of his “codes” would most likely be classic examples of ELSs whose content was generally nonsensical. I doubt he would waste time trying to do this, because he is far too intelligent to believe that his findings will be at all impressive. In this chapter, we will compare the Hanukah cluster with the Isaiah 53 cluster. The results, detailed in table 4B, reveal the complete irrelevance of the Hanukah cluster as a counter-example of what can be found in a non-encoded text. We will also see how utterly improbable the Isaiah 53 cluster is.

This is a good book on the subject. You should read it.
I find the entire thing interesting.
I will look up the book and put it on my list.
I tend to be on the skeptical side, but my mind is open to all types of things.
Thanks
Does it say that Michael Moore is in Spain doing ‘cannon balls’ into the ocean there?
A small eruption of Cumbre Vieja Volcano on that island will be sufficient to cause a massive slide of unstable ground into the ocean. The east coast of the U.S., northern coasts of South America and much of the Carribean will have about an eight to nine hour evacuation window before the arrival of the tsunami with predicted waves of 10-25 meters (roughly 30 to 75 feet).
Not a pleasant prospect.
That could ruin your whole day!...................
Along with Rosie O’Donuts.................
One question for this T Chase “psychic” ... how many lotteries have you won?
Yep, my home is ten blocks (less than a mile) from the beach at the Jersey Shore.
A mile? You might just make out okay. Oceanfront property newly created!..............
Not if it’s over thirty feet of water. Our base flood elevation is only about 15’ above Sea level...
