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 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.
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.
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.
