No, I'm not talking about any kind of numerology. I'm talking about divinely provided seals on the content of most of the masoretic text through messages encoded in "long equidistant letter sequences." Some of them are so long as to deconstruct the concept of probability.

That stuff was debunked years ago. Equidistant letter sequences can be found in the text of just about any book, especially if it is written in Hebrew, where vowels are omitted making the text more open to interpretation.
No Christians I know would dream of putting their faith into such a dubious mechanism.

You wrote, "I'm talking about divinely provided seals on the content of most of the masoretic text through messages encoded in "long equidistant letter sequences." Some of them are so long as to deconstruct the concept of probability."
By 'deconstruct the concept of probability', do you mean linguistic patterns contained within the text are not the result of chance or are you saying that these 'long equidistant letter sequences,', of themselves, refute the entire concept of probability--if by 'masoretic texts' you mean the Old Testament and if by 'deconstruct' you mean refute? Or are you just spouting arcane, obtuse gobbledygook in hopes of being taken seriously?
In my view, people poring over Scriptures, looking for hidden messages and proofs, are missing the point entirely. The whole practice borders on the concept of gnosis, revealed truth to the elect, and the Gnostics are a sorry, heretical bunch if ever there was one. Your 'proof' is suspect on a number of grounds. Christianity is not a mystery religion.
