Went to a lecture by a mathematician who created a system to find words or codes in the Torah. There are a huge number of names and dates of important people and events that pop out.
He pointed out that it is impossible to predict anything from the codes. Only after the event are we able to look back and see the connection. He cautioned against using the codes in this way.

Of course.

I’ve found the Torah codes interesting. They do appear to be more than noise but what they mean I’m not certain. Divination I believe is a fruitless endeavor. It is like Nostradamus, it becomes a moving target after a while.

The more obvious concern is why would you look for predictions encrypted in the text but not care about its face reading?

You can do the same with any large enough book, in any language.
