An expert in Bible codes found a shocking clue that the prophecy of Zechariah that most of the people alive today will perish is due to come about this year. Actually, according to one interpretation of the prophecy, this has already happened. BIBLE CODES: “IN 5781 MOST LIVING THINGS EXTERMINATED” Rabbi Matityahu Glazerson, an expert in Bible codes, prepared a video using special software to find hidden clues in equidistant letters in the Torah referring to a verse in Zechariah describing the end-of days. Throughout the land —declares Hashem— Two-thirds shall perish, shall die, And one-third of it shall survive....

A well-known Bible-code researcher has bad news for Barack Obama, as he claims hidden texts in the Holy Bible indicate Mitt Romney will be America’s next president. Moshe Aharon Shak, an orthodox Jew and author of “Bible Codes Breakthrough,” has produced a series of videos on YouTube with his modern analysis of Scripture. For those not familiar with Bible codes, they are said to be secret messages embedded in the Torah, the first five books of the Old Testament.

Precipitating a Moment of Truth Is there validity to the alleged phenomenon of Bible codes, or not? In the last two months, BCD again submitted this question to extensive testing. The results: Without a doubt, the phenomenon is real. How can we be so certain? After all, there are some highly intelligent and respected scientists who have vehemently asserted that the entire thing is a hoax. Yet, if you carefully examine their arguments, they do not address the real question at hand. What they say, in effect, is that people can find such codes in any text. Yes, that is...

Non-Random Equidistant Letter Sequence Extensions in the Hebrew BibleBy Richard E. Sherman, FCAS, MAAA, and Nathan Jacobi, Ph.D. Summary Bible codes are equidistant letter sequences (ELSs) that appear in the Hebrew Bible. Extended Bible codes are found by first locating a single word ELS with a given skip and then by searching for extensions in good Hebrew on both sides, continuing at the same skip. The longer an extended ELS is, the more improbable it is. A Markov chain model was developed for estimating the probability of chance occurrence of extended ELSs of a variety of different lengths. Monte Carlo...

[Qx note: color, bold emphases are added as usual, by Quix. Black emphases are in the original. Quite a number of black bolds in the original were left out to save time.] IS JESUS THE MESSIAH? A Rich Host of Clues From The Codes Could Bible codes possibly add anything definitive to the two-millennia-long controversy over Christian claims that Jesus of Nazareth was/is the Messiah of the Jews? As noted in the Closeness Comparisons Part 2 article in this Digest, Closeness Comparisons link: http://www.biblecodedigest.com/page.php/511 we checked out two sets of ELSs for their closeness to literal mentions of David in...

The 296-Letter-Long Shimon Peres Code By Moshe Aharon (Morris) Shak Copyright © January 2006 In the November/December 2005 Bible Code Digest issue, the location of Shimon Peres in the Bible code was established. The key term that described the former Prime Minister of Israel best was --will not be elected. The extension of the two-word term in both directions at the same low skip of eight sheds much light on Peres' long political career. In total, the extended will not be elected term is 296 letters long! A. The 296-Letter Code in Hebrew In numerous articles in English and...

Bible scholars claim to have fixed the bug in their decoding that caused their earlier mistaken predictions. As a result they have so many different scriptural calculations leading to the same month for the UN bomb, that "coincidence is no longer an option" for their research team.

[Quix note: The green bold emphases are in the original. But I'm too tired to code them here or even to pour it through Word to do it. Sorry. I did use some spacing, paragraphing for emphasis on the fly] = = = = = = Lengthy Mel Gibson Codes Presage DUI Incident The May 2004 issue of Bible Code Digest (BCD) featured an article http://www.biblecodedigest.com/page.php/232 [May 2004 original article] describing a 146-letter-long code about Mel Gibson. This astonishing code portrayed him as being guilty of something and of being "rotten." Interwoven codes further described him as hurrying and insulting...

Quix note: most color and bold is added for emphasis, by me—as signified by: [QC] for Quix Color. BIBLE CODE DIGEST PART II JULY/AUGUST 2006 Bible Codes: A Sign of the End Times? By Ed Sherman Map of Israel from Wikipedia.org. [was OMITTED as it wouldn't post] Is the discovery of substantive Bible codes a telling sign that we are living in the End Times? Most people intrigued by Bible codes seek predictions of the future. And the more detailed the prediction, the better. But what if the Encoder simply intended that Bible codes would only provide a general prediction...

New Study Undermines Skeptics' Main Objection to Codes Introduction Challenged Preconceptions As our investigation of code phenomena has expanded and deepened, every one of the stock opinions of most code skeptics, as well as those of most code proponents, has been contradicted by new evidence. It shouldn’t be surprising that reality can stubbornly disagree with preconceptions, yet it is often true. The saga of Bible codes has been characterized by attempts to rush to judgment. To advance above this primitive state, we must bravely confront and listen to the realities of hard data—impartially gathered and analyzed. The articles in this...

GREETINGS, FOLLOWING is a note re todays Alaskan quake. First a comment about this thread. SOME FREEPERS are fascinated with fringe areas of reality. Some of us even think the fringe areas of knowledge, research, anecdotal stories and the like will have very impactful effects on the WAR ON TERROR, WWIII, Biblical end time events etc. WE ALSO FIND FREEPERS FULL OF GREAT CREATIVITY OF THOUGHT, INSIGHT, WORK RELATED EXPERIENCES AND SKILLS ETC. useful in collecting diverse puzzle pieces and in analyzing them. This diversity is priceless and virtually unavailable on any other site. While we are seriously interested in...

Abstract A set of 100 equidistant letter sequences (ELSs) were drawn, equally from the Hebrew text of the book of Ezekiel and a control text (a Hebrew translation of Tolstoy’s novel War and Peace). Each of these initial ELSs (that was the name of an Islamic nation) was reviewed for possible extensions by a Hebrew expert who was blind regarding the source text of each letter string. The number of extensions discovered in Ezekiel was more than 50% higher. A Markov chain model based on the indicated extension discovery rate from the control text (19.4%) was used to determine...

QUESTION: There are several claims that the Bible Code points to the Son of God as Yeshua. But what does the Word of God say? In Nehemiah 8:17 according to the original Hebrew Text and the Old King James of 1611, it is made certain that Yeshua (Jeshua), is the son of Nun. Obviusly, the son of Nun can never be the son of God. Therefore, isn't the Bible Code fake, and couldn't it be used for total blasphemy?

[Qx: I hope to put several sections updating these topics vis a vis the Codes. If this one gets too long, I may put it in a succeeding post.] Recent Events Seem to Agree with Code Findings New discoveries have been added to the Ezekiel 7 cluster, and reported on below. It is interesting that the war on terrorism seems now to be including Iraq in its list of targets. The Bible codes seemed to indicate Saddam Hussein's participation from the beginning. A separate report details our amazing 911 findings in Ezekiel 37. The focal code continues to be a...

[QX: BOLD COLOR EMPHASES ADDED] The fascinating phenomenon of the Torah Codes has gained widespread attention since Witztum, Rips, and Rosenberg published "Equidistant Letter Sequences in the Book of Genesis" in the respected journal, 'Statistical Science'. In the past few years, much has been written about this discovery. Unfortunately, most of what has been presented to the public has been misleading, incorrect, or falsely promoting a certain agenda. This website has been established by friends and supporters of Doron Witztum's research into the hidden codes in Genesis in order to provide a forum for him to answer some of the...

Two compelling Christmas clusters that we first discovered back in 2000 have continued to grow. We have been saving them to share on the eve of this happiest season of the year. In our research of longer and longer codes, some of them have crossed through these Christmas clusters with fascinating results, nothing short of collisions between Christmas and the “end times.” We began our search for codes about Christmas in the Tanakh a little over two years ago. The first place that we looked was in Micah 5:2, where the village of Bethlehem is mentioned as the birthplace of...
