Hello everyone:
Nobody has asked me, but here goes anyway....
To paraphrase Pastor Chuck Missler, in information theory, using spread spectrum technology, you would distribute your information all over the available bandwidth. If you have an advanced cordless phone, or have used recent tactical military communications, you would have used this technology. You also would wish to authenticate your message.
Just as there is no chapter in our bibles on baptism, but there are multiple references to it in the New Testament. If one chapter were to be lost, the important themes would be carried over into other books and other chapters.
Before computers, the scribes and rabbis discovered that there were certain skip sequences in the Torah, the first five books of the Old Testament.
The word "Torah" in hebrew is composed of 4 letters: tau vav resh heh.
Go to the start of Genesis in Hebrew, then go to the first "tau" and skip 49 letters you find a vav, skip another 49 letters you have resh, then another 49 and you have heh. Torah.
OK -- interesting but not convinced?
Go to the start of Exodus in Hebrew. Go to the first "tau" and skip 49 letters you find a vav, skip another 49 letters you have resh, then another 49 and you have heh. Torah.
Statistics were never my bag, but I passed three college level courses, and the probability is estimated at about one in three million for this to occur by chance.
OK -- interesting but not convinced?
In the next book, Leviticus, this 49 letter interval doesn't seem to appear -- I'll get back to this book further on.
In Numbers, the sequence is
reversed with the heh resh vav tau in a 49 letter skip sequence.
The fifth book, Deuteronomy the sequence is identical to that in Numbers, spelling heh resh vav tau in a 49 letter skip sequence, spelling Torah backwards.
This seems to be too deliberate to be given simply to chance.
If you examine the book of Leviticus, at a skip sequence of 7 (square root of 49) yields something interesting. After the first yod, after an interval of 7, the next letter, and so on, yields the tetragrammaton or YHWH.
Genesis Exodus Leviticus Numbers Deuteronomy
TORH ---> TORH ---> YHWH <--- HROT <--- HROT
It appears that the Torah always points toward to the
Ineffable Name of G-d.
This is but one example, and my opinion is that this is a type of signature or authentication in the message.
Are we to jump from this information to search for our future in these codes? NO!!!!!!! The law of the Torah forbids fortune telling, divination, astrology, etc. Are we to take this as one more evidence to build our faith? I'll leave that to you to answer.
The paraphrases above are taken from "Cosmic Codes" by Pastor Chuck Missler. PM me for more information if you want to find a copy.
Food for thought?
