Someone was telling me about a bible code that says:

On September 10, 2001, Michael Drosnin phoned the White House to verify that President George W. Bush had received the letter he had sent him. He was told that Chief of Staff Andrew Card and National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice had received it. This letter was sent more than a month earlier warning Bush that the United States might face World War III during his term.

Drosnin, who had since learned Hebrew, located a code in 1993 containing Bush, Arafat, and Sharon with the time of danger foretold by all three major Western religions—The End of Days. The very next day, he awoke in his Manhattan apartment to the sound of a massive boom and watched in horror as an airplane crashed into the second of the World Trade Center’s Twin Towers. The destruction he witnessed came as a radio news report that confirmed New York was indeed under attack.

Additionally, Dr. Rips would find Osama bin Laden’s name with a guilty verdict in Genesis: the sin, the crime of bin Laden where the city and the tower were spotted. Pentagon was also crossed by damaged and emergency followed by Arabia, alluding to the attack on the Pentagon by Saudi Arabian terrorists.

and

A cluster in Deuteronomy targets 2006 as the year of an atomic holocaust and it will strike them, to destroy, and annihilate all overlap world war. There is also a second matrix that contains sign in the sky, red star, and visible in daylight.

and

The year 2010 has horrendous implications, combined with comet, days of horror, darkness, and gloom. Eerily, the word crater crosses India twice, suggesting an impact from outer space. Also in that year, the word Etna occurs four times throughout Exodus and Deuteronomy. Etna, situated along the coast of Sicily, is one of the world’s most active volcanoes with a long record of eruptions. But it is not the only volcano to be watched.
Does anyone know where I can see the bible codes?? Any good sites??

I personally don't put much stock in Bible codes. For one thing, why would God hide messages from us so that we could only find them using computers or other specialized means of data extraction to get the message? :confused: For another, similar codes have been found in books such as Moby Dick. The method used to discover such codes is called the Equidistant Letter Sequence analysis method. Accoding to ReligiousTolerance.org:

ELS codes are found with approximately equal frequency in the Book of Genesis, the Qur'an, Tolstoy's "War and Peace," or in any sufficiently long text written in any language -- probably even in this web site which totals over 30 megabytes of text.

A note about bible codes. there are different camps within even the bible code bunch. Some discount the validity of the codes since there are questions like what happens when a single letter goes missing? Does that throw all the letter sequences out? yet according to this website the sheer regularity of words and long messages found are too much to ignore, especially when you compare using the same method with other texts (which don't even come close). The above site appears to be the most convincing one I've looked at.

Some discount michael Drosnin's books since he is a journalist and other bible code people don't feel he represented them right. he seemed to make it that somehow we could see the future ahead of time. Apparently the things found in the bible codes are often seen only in hindsight since you need a code word or key word to look for before you start seeing things. This site's intent is to show that the codes' very existence shows there is an intelligent design behind it.

There is another type of bible code around too, not anywhere near as exciting as these but it has to deal with numerical relationships with the letters of the text. I can't remember the name & I'll have to find it again someday but this other type of bible code is a much stronger evidence of intelligent design behind the bible.

cheers, ;)

Look at these sites:

Are you aware that Michael Drosnin, author of The Bible Code, admitted to Oprah Winfrey that he did not believe in God? In my opinion, chasing after things like Bible codes is falling victim to the sin of divination (the act of foretelling future events or revealing occult knowledge by means of augury or an alleged supernatural agency - see Deut.18:9-11, 2 Chron.33:6, Isa.2:6).

Are your ears itching, 3:16, to run after these silly hoaxes? The Apostle wrote, “For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myth.” (2 Tim. 4.3-4).

God says over and ever that He means for His word to be clear:

Num. 12:8 With him [Moses] I speak face to face, clearly and not in riddles . . .

Ps. 78:2 “I will open my mouth in parables, I will utter hidden things, things from of old.” The parables that Jesus told were practical applications to life. They were plain to those whose ears would hear and whose eyes would see. Those who seek after sensationalism have blinded their eyes to truth – things like the Bible Code pollutes pure truth. God never encouraged someone to use math or calculate spaces between the letters to discover truth or the future.

Isa. 45:19 " I have not spoken in secret, from somewhere in a land of darkness; I have not said to Jacob's descendants, 'Seek me in vain.' I, the LORD , speak the truth; I declare what is right.”

Isa 48:16 "I have not spoken in secret; at the time it happens, I am there."

Bible Codes are silly. Please ignore them. They are caused by people trying for find secret messages from God. They are seeking after signs.

We don't need signs. The plain truth of the Bible is plenty for us to deal with. The fact that Jesus is the SON OF GOD!!! That is an absolutely fantastic truth that has ramifications enough to change the world!

And just two of his commands are enough to make me struggle on a daily basis to deal with them. To love the Lord my God with all my heart, soul and mind, and to love my neighbor as myself.

That is enough to keep me busy.

So please don't look for extra stuff to worry about!

I just found a marvelous discovery!
The above is an excerpt from Caroyn Keens's The Secret of Shadow Ranch. You can clearly see EGG SGT. FORANE. This leads me to believe that somewhere somehow a Sgt. Forane is going to get egged. I am 100% positive.
If it is hidden in Nancy Drew then I believe it.
I wonder what else might be hidden?!?
HAHHAHAHAHAHA!!

For a good Christian perspective on the truth of Bible codes, read up some of Grant R Jeffrey's books/videos. Here's a useful link:
http://www.grantjeffrey.com/article/yakram.htm

Pr 25:2 It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.

You are a king-priest in Christ, and it is your honour and priviledge to search out the nuggets of gold in God's Word. And when you find them, do not cast your pearls to swine, who will trample over them. :)

Only problem with this example is that it doesnt use the equal letter spacing rule that is required in Bible Codes research.

The equal letter spacing is how you get the Bible codes. If you simply pick any letter you want at any interval you want and form a "message", that is no code at all. And of course, if that's the method you employ, you can just about make any message you want from any book.

So it works like this: Say you take a passage from Isa 53: 1-10. An every fifth letter, you mark down that letter. And say you get the message YESHUA IS MY NAME. It may be every fifth letter or 10th letter or 50th letter.

You can do this manually -- it's very tedious of course and that's how the Rabbis did it years ago even b4 Drosnin discovered the Codes.

But becos we have very fast computers today all these calculations can be done more easily. Just tell the program which passage you want to search and at how many letters interval and it will do the search for you.

Drosnin made the Bible codes popular. But he is not a Christian and he abuses the Bible Code by using it to predict future events. 'Fortune-telling' of course, is an abomination to God. That is why so many Christians are against the Bible Codes. But that does not mean that the codes in itself are evil or that they aren't real.

If anything, the simply prove to the scientific world that the Bible is indeed divinely inspired by God.

Again, b4 you throw out the baby with the bathwater, read up on the subject using Grant R Jefrrey's materials/video etc. He is a Spirit-filled Christian who explains clearly what the Codes is, gives you many examples of the codes. He also emphasises that the BC is not to be used to predict future events and that that is wrong.

Here is another good link on the subject:
