The Bible Code

1. A Hidden Code in the Bible Reveals Future Events

For 3000 years a code in the Bible has remained hidden. Now it has been unlocked by computer - and it may reveal our future.

Ancient secret unlocked. An Israeli mathematician, Dr. Eliyahu Rips, discovered a hidden code within the original Hebrew text of the Old Testament using computer analysis. This code, based on equidistant letter sequences (ELS), appears to contain information about events that occurred long after the Bible was written. The discovery suggests a layer of meaning beyond the plain text, accessible only through modern technology.

Equidistant Letter Sequences. The code is found by removing all spaces from the Hebrew text and searching for words or phrases spelled out by letters separated by a specific, equal number of characters (the "skip distance"). Different skip distances reveal different encoded messages, often forming interconnected "crossword puzzle" patterns of related terms. This method allows for a vast amount of information to be compressed within the finite text.

Potential implications. The existence of such a code, if validated, challenges conventional understanding of the Bible's origins and purpose. It raises profound questions about foreknowledge, determinism, and the nature of reality itself. The initial findings suggest the code might be a form of communication or warning intended for a specific time in history – our own.

2. Scientific Proof Confirms the Code's Existence

Randomization analysis indicates that hidden information is woven into the text of Genesis in the form of equidistant letter sequences. The effect is significant at the level of 99.998%.

Rigorous validation. The initial discovery was presented in a scientific paper, "Equidistant Letter Sequences in the Book of Genesis," co-authored by Rips and Doron Witztum, and published in the peer-reviewed journal Statistical Science. This paper detailed experiments showing that names of famous rabbis and their birth/death dates were encoded together in Genesis against astronomical odds (initially 1 in 4 million, later refined to 1 in 10 million).

Independent corroboration. Skeptical mathematicians and code-breakers, including a senior analyst from the top-secret U.S. National Security Agency (Harold Gans), attempted to disprove the code but instead replicated and extended the findings. Gans, for instance, found that the cities where the rabbis were born and died were also encoded with their names, further confirming the statistical anomaly.

Beyond chance. The consistent appearance of related information encoded together, far exceeding what would be expected by random chance in a text of the Bible's size, convinced initially skeptical scientists. The mathematical evidence suggests that the encoding is intentional, not a product of coincidence or statistical artifact found in any large text.

3. The Rabin Assassination: A Dramatic Validation

On November 4, 1995, came the awful confirmation, a shot in the back from a man who believed he was on a mission from god, the murder that was encoded in the bible three thousand years ago.

A personal warning. The author, Michael Drosnin, personally found the assassination of Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin predicted in the code more than a year before it happened. The encoding showed Rabin's full name crossed by the phrase "assassin that will assassinate." Drosnin delivered a letter warning Rabin of the danger.

Prophecy fulfilled. Despite the warning, Rabin was assassinated in November 1995, exactly as predicted in the code. This event served as a brutal and undeniable confirmation for Drosnin and others that the code was real and could foretell specific, dramatic future events.

Details revealed post-event. After the assassination, further searches revealed more details encoded in the same area, including the assassin's name, "Amir," the location, "Tel Aviv," and the Hebrew year of the murder, "5756." This highlighted that while the code predicts, specific details may only become apparent after the event occurs, or require knowing what to look for.

4. The Code Foretells Major Historical Events

In addition to the Sadat and Kennedy assassinations, hundreds of other world-shaking events are also encoded in the bible—everything from world war ii to Watergate, from the holocaust to Hiroshima, from the Moon landing to the collision of a comet with Jupiter.

A historical record. The Bible code appears to contain a detailed record of major events throughout human history, spanning thousands of years after the Bible was written. These include political upheavals, wars, scientific achievements, and natural disasters.

Specific examples:

• Assassinations: John F. Kennedy ("President Kennedy" + "to die" + "Dallas"), Robert F. Kennedy ("R.F. Kennedy" + "second ruler will be killed" + assassin's name "S. Sirhan"), Anwar Sadat (name + assassin's name + date + location).
• Wars & Conflicts: World War II ("World War" + "Hitler" + "Holocaust" + years + major nations), Gulf War (Saddam Hussein + Scuds + date), Watergate ("Watergate" + Nixon + year + "President, but he was kicked out").
• Scientific/Technological Milestones: Moon landing ("Man on Moon" + "spaceship" + "Apollo 11" + date), discovery of gravity ("Newton" + "gravity"), theory of relativity ("Einstein" + "theory of relativity").

Accuracy and detail. The level of detail found in these encodings, often including names, dates, and locations, is presented as evidence against random chance. The consistent appearance of related terms forming coherent messages is a key feature of the code's apparent design.

5. The Bible Code Functions Like an Ancient Computer Program

The Bible is not only a book-it is also a computer program. It was first chiseled in stone and handwritten on a parchment scroll, finally printed as a book, waiting for us to catch up with it by inventing a computer.

Designed for technology. The structure of the code, requiring the removal of spaces and complex searches for equidistant letter sequences across a massive text, suggests it was designed to be deciphered by a computer. This implies the encoder foresaw the development of such technology thousands of years in the future.

Interactive database. The code acts like an interactive database. By inputting a key word (like a name or event), the computer searches the continuous letter strand and reveals related information encoded nearby, forming "crossword puzzle" patterns of interconnected words and phrases. Different skip distances create different matrices of information.

Infinite potential. According to Rips, the amount of information potentially encoded is incalculable, possibly infinite, due to the vast number of possible skip sequences and combinations of interlocking words. We are only accessing the most basic level of this complex system, which may be multi-dimensional, like a hologram.

6. A Warning of Imminent Atomic Holocaust and World War

In the Bible code, only one world capital matches either "World War" or "atomic holocaust" -"Jerusalem."

The ultimate threat. Beyond historical events, the code appears to contain urgent warnings about future dangers, specifically an "atomic holocaust" and a "World War." These threats are repeatedly encoded, often linked to specific years in the near future (e.g., 1996, 2000, 2006).

Jerusalem as the epicenter. The code consistently points to Jerusalem as the central target of this predicted catastrophe. The name "Jerusalem" is encoded with both "atomic holocaust" and "World War," suggesting the Holy City could be the flashpoint for a global conflict.

Potential sources and timing. The code also hints at potential sources of the danger, such as "Libya" and "Kaddafi," and links the threat to the current geopolitical situation in the Middle East. While specific dates are encoded (like 1996, 2000, 2006), the exact timing and inevitability remain uncertain, presented more as probabilities than fixed destiny.

7. The Code Links the Present to the Biblical "End of Days"

In the Bible code, that prediction of the "End of Days" matched "atomic holocaust" and "World War."

Apocalypse encoded. The code connects the current era and the predicted dangers directly to the ancient Biblical prophecies of the "End of Days" or Apocalypse, particularly those found in Daniel and Revelation. The Hebrew year 5756 (1995-1996) is repeatedly encoded with phrases like "in the End of Days."

The "Sealed Book". The Bible itself speaks of a "sealed book" that will be opened at the "time of the End" to reveal future events. The nature of the Bible code, hidden for millennia and requiring modern technology (the computer) to be opened, suggests it might be this prophesied "sealed book."

A time of unprecedented trouble. The convergence of the "End of Days" encoding with warnings of "atomic holocaust" and "World War" in the code aligns with the Biblical description of the End Times as a period of unprecedented global catastrophe. This suggests the code is a specific warning for our generation.

8. Natural Disasters, Including Comet Impacts and Earthquakes, Are Encoded

The Jupiter cataclysm was also foretold in the Bible code, found months before it happened.

Cosmic and terrestrial threats. The code's predictions are not limited to human conflict. It also foretells major natural disasters, including the impact of comets and devastating earthquakes. The collision of Comet Shoemaker-Levy with Jupiter in 1994 was accurately encoded with the comet's name, Jupiter, and the exact date, found months in advance.

Earthquake warnings. "Great earthquake" is encoded with various locations, including major cities like Los Angeles, cities in Japan (Kobe, Okushiri), China, and Israel. Specific years are also linked to these predictions, such as 2010 for Los Angeles and 2000/2006 for Japan and China.

Potential global impact. These natural disasters are sometimes linked to economic collapse or other widespread consequences. The encoding of "economic collapse" with "earthquake struck Japan" suggests a single event could have far-reaching global effects, highlighting the interconnectedness of the predicted dangers.

9. The Code Suggests a Non-Human Intelligence as the Encoder

I am persuaded only that no human could have encoded the Bible in this way.

Beyond human capacity. The complexity of the code, its ability to accurately foretell events thousands of years in the future, and the sheer volume of information encoded within the text are presented as evidence that no human being could have created it. Even with modern supercomputers, encoding the Bible in this manner is deemed impossible.

An ancient encounter. The Bible itself describes its origin as a divine dictation to Moses on Mount Sinai. The code appears to support this, with terms like "computer" encoded in verses describing the creation of the Ark of the Covenant and the writing on the stone tablets, suggesting an advanced technology or "mind" behind the events.

Purpose: Warning, not control. The encoder, whether God or another advanced intelligence, appears to be able to foresee the future but not necessarily control it entirely. The code functions as a warning system, providing information about potential dangers rather than preventing them directly, implying a respect for human free will.

10. The Future is Not Fixed: The Code Offers Probabilities We Can Change

My own guess is that it is only a possibility—that the bible encodes all the probabilities, and what we do determines the actual outcome.

Probabilities, not destiny. Despite the accuracy of past predictions, the code does not seem to present a single, inevitable future. Instead, it appears to encode multiple possible outcomes or probabilities. The same Hebrew letters that spell the year 5756 (1996) also form the question, "Will you change it?"

Evidence of change. The delayed trip of Prime Minister Netanyahu to Jordan, which the code had predicted for a specific date (the 9th of Av, a cursed date in Jewish history) but which was postponed, is cited as potential evidence that events can be altered. The word "delayed" is also encoded with predicted disasters.

Human agency. The message of the code, therefore, seems to be a call to action. By revealing potential dangers, it empowers humanity to make choices and take steps to avert catastrophe. The ultimate outcome may depend on our awareness and our actions, suggesting that free will coexists with foreknowledge.
