More Bible code baloney. Nothing new, the occult has been dabbling with numerology and gematria (Kabbalah) for hundreds of years. The only difference is now they have computers.
Kabbalist mystics claim the words we read in our bibles are only for the stupid, these elites, however, claim to know what these words REALLY mean. Each letter is equivalent to a number, hence when Moses gave the Torah, it was for the elite among them, the Kabbalists, to decipher the code. An esoteric science.
The Torah doesn't mean what it appears to mean on the surface, with numerology the words of the Torah can be made to mean anything - anything the numeric "experts" want it to mean. Its all in the eye of the beholder.
Not me, I choose to believe Moses was not writing some sort of esoteric code. The word of God means what it appears to mean.
One doesn't need mystic numerology to prove God, millions of ordinary people through the centuries have come to faith by taking the words of the bible at face value. The Apostle Paul often quoted from the Torah in the New Testament, nowhere does he try to prove the existence of God, or prove any point by telling us, "Now if you will use numerics on this quotation you will find out the true meaning."
The word of God is both plain and also full of secrets. Man is only beginning to comprehend the secrets of God.
"Not me, I choose to believe Moses was not writing some sort of esoteric code."
What part of the Torah did Moses write? Any of it? All of it? None of it...?
Kind of a dead giveaway when the math is all basic arithmetic, too. Doesn't the creator of heaven and earth know anything about special functions and elliptic integrals? (lol).
God is not a politician who leaves behind a body of work to be interpreted by a bunch of lawyersm - a living, breathing Bible, if you will.
Anybody who believes such baloney is pushing blasphemy.
I wish you'd check your facts before writing such stuff.
There's absolutely nothing occultic about the Codes. IF you have a good dictionary, you should know that if you've examined the true story significantly at all.
