You DA MAN, Quix. I don't know much about the "Bible Codes" but I started to read a book that was on the NYT Bestseller list (that should have warned me) and I got halfway through it before I smelled smoke straight from the pit of Hell and threw it away like the trash it is. Now, I have yet to read anything on the Bible Codes by any respected scholars of eschatology that I TRUST and know are true Christians. One of these, Hal Lindsey, has one out, but I haven't gotten it yet. Too busy and too deep into the "Left Behind" series! Anyway, I agree you you brother. I really dislike folks who shoot personal flames like this DrS (POPE QUIX INDEED!).

THANKS for your kind words.

I really don't think the Codes are meant to be a big deal compared to a lot of other Scriptural priorities.

However, they have resulted in some Jewish Hebrew scholars becoming believers in their Messiah. In that sense, they ARE a big deal! All the angels rejoice!

The Drosnin books are hokey from a number of perspectives. One, ?most? of the 'codes' in them do not pass the current criteria for statistically valid Codes. They are just too short.

I believe that eventually, some of the shorter Codes which are not statistically significant but which are in very connected relationships with other Codes--some longer and maybe all of them have keywords related to the central Scripture which a central keyword in the central Code in the matrix crosses. A bit hard to articulate. But I don't believe there's ANY WAY, such could occur just by chance. Nevertheless, we don't have a good way--or didn't last I checked--to assess some of the Code configurations statistically.

Statistically significant codes now have to number above 30 letters, as best as I can recall. Lower than that but of a different quality could be found in WAR AND PEACE.

It's an excellent set of short summary statements to the typical questions and criticisms.

The following link is to a list of links to the major codes. It includes links to the 911 codes, Iraq codes, Isaiah codes, Ezekiel codes etc.

Note: Many codes are as cryptic and mystifying as some Scripture surface text prophecies--until after the event happens when the wording makes much more sense.
