Thanks. "Iron sharpens iron."
Hey, Faithful Bro. Great to see your screen name.
The best of God's blessings to you and yours.
A good layman's article by a great scholar should follow shortly.

I don't think the DECISION tree on this code business is all that complex or difficult.
1. There's either SOMETHING going on underneath the surface text of Scriptures that is utterly unique in all of literature or there isn't.
2. IF there is, then the sources are limited:
A) God or
B) satan
3. It's incomprehensible and 100% irrational, to me, That Almighty God who obviously throughout Scripture has cared SOOOOO MUCH about His written Word--it's incomprehensible that He would allow satan to embedd codes underneath the surface text. So, just logically, it can't be satan. Doesn't fit God's character or priorities to have allowed it of satan.
4. Further, The TRULY STATISTICALLY VALID LONG codes affirm THE BASIC CHRISTIAN DOCTRINES about God, about Christ and some could quite reasonably say about Biblical prophecy. That's not really something satan would be likely to do in a truly orthodox Christian or orthodox Jewish fashion.
5. The statistical proof that SOMETHING supernatural IS embedded underneath the Scriptures' surface text is, by now, irrefutable as many links attest.
6. It appears to me that only ignorance and rigid, UNBiblical bias refuses to admit the truth about The Codes.
7. Clearly the codes have not been done as many humans seem likely to have preferred to do them had they been doing them. But GOD DID THEM. And HE USUALLY doesn't do things OUR ways.
Thankfully.
