Your evidence, research appears to be EXCEEDINGLY out of date. The skeptics have entered into a fair minded and well structured experiment involving the codes and other texts as well. The Bible Codes won hands down and by a HUGE margin. The skeptics were stunned. But it's not so popular in the popular press to report these facts.

The Bible Codes is nothing similar at all to the prohibited fortune tellers of The Bible.

If you deny that Isaiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, Amos et al . . . not to mention John The Revelator have nothing prophetic to say about our era, I begin to wonder if you are reading the same Bible. . . . or whether your fair-mindedness has been put to bed, first.

God, outside of time, can do whatever He wants within our dimensions and outsied of them.

I'm open to the Bible codes revealing prophecies of God. But when are these predictions actually going to predict something?

I don't doubt the validity of God's greatness.

I do doubt man's interpetation of it.

In fact, I would go so far as to say that man interpeting God's greatness is what got us busy in Afghanistan.

Having said that, I don't think God would hide meaning in the Bible that you need a decoder ring to decipher.

It borders on blasphemy, IMHO.

Nope, you are utterly, completely and inexcusably incorrect anout the so called " BIBLE CODES." They have, time and time again, by myriad EXPERTS in cryptology , codes, and religion , been discredited, denied, and proven to be fraudulant. You only believe in them, because you want to believe in them.

The book of Revelations is for a future time. The prophets, in the OT, were ONLY speaking to those in their own times, as admonitions . The ONLY exception being the promise of a Messiah. Ask any rabbi . Ask any Catholic priest. Ask any Protestant minister. Better than that, ask yourself WHEN these pronouncements were made ; BEFORE or AFTER the events.

This is utter codswallop, devised to make money ( by selling books and getting paid lecture fees ) from gullible twits, who don't really know very much about religon or the Bible.Anyone could do the same thing, with any text at all. This isn't even as good a trick as Uri Geller's spoon bending,or Houdini's Metamorphosis ! Both of which, BTW, I know how to do.

Not one religion accepts the " BIBLE CODES " as being authentic.

How about if I devise a super , special decoding program, and tell you tomorrow that I am able to prove that the Founding Fathers put into the Constitution that WW1 would occur ? Would you be as gullible; would you believe me ? What if I could show you that it also fortold your birth and Clinton's oral sex activities, whilst he was ensconced in the White House ? I could do it, given enough time. How ? Easily, because I already know what has transpired in the past.

It's difficult to believe God would have anything to say about a couple of buildings falling down in New York. When you consider the history of the world and the great tribulations, it's nothing. This event is only huge to us because we have suffered so little.

Monuments and structures have been destroyed by earthquakes and catastrophes all thru history and I'll bet they don't portend man's destruction Biblically.
