I find this misuse and subversion of the Bible by looking for "codes" and clues to the future to be as offensive as holding up a picture of Jesus Christ crucified to the light and looking for the logo of the next superbowl winner in code shined on the wall. The Bible isn't a toy and its offensive to make trivial "predictions" and scurrilous pronouncements from inane arcana and attribute it as "God's message". This is probably a handy tool for the people doing this to claim to give their own message in place of God's.
Your analogies vis a vis the Codes are off the wall in logic and in fact of research, imho.
