The Bible Codes

There is said to be prophesy's contained in the bible relating to the present time known as the bible codes. Experts are now even claiming they can create pictures, some that even move with the codes. What are your opinions on this?

I am extremely skeptical of hidden codes in the Bible. There are several reasons.

• The Bible is filled with prophecy.
• Prophecy comes in several forms, including those prophecies that are simply testimonies of Jesus Christ, those that explain eternal principles, and those that predict future events.
• Predictive prophecy is usually couched in symbolic wording, using allegory, metaphors, and other literary devices. The "ancient" Jews had a highly developed form of literary writing, far richer than modern English.
• In order to really understand prophecy, a person must have the "spirit" of prophecy themselves. As Revelation says, the spirit of prophecy is the divine testimony of Jesus Christ.
• While ancient Hebraic writers may have hidden some messages in gematria, I don't believe they hid prophecy within it. Prophecy comes from God, not man. Gematria comes from man.
• God has given much clear predictive prophecy, and has provided much commentary and explanation of prophecy within the scriptures.
• God has explained to all mankind how each of us can get the spirit of prophecy for ourselves. With that spirit, we can understand any prophecy for ourselves, and don't need to study or use the manmade "Bible codes".
• Even if Bible codes were valid, they are even more subject to errors in interpretation than prophetic writings. I have watched as proponents of Bible codes have twisted them to fit their preconceptions of what current events mean in relationship to End Times prophecies.

I have even more, but will leave it at that.

If you are interested in some excellent resources for End Times prophecy, PM me.

I am also pretty skeptical of Bible Codes, and other such attempts to twist the bible into predicting future events or comment on our current times.

One thing that really makes me skeptical is that it seems that all of the so called prophecies that are cited relate directly to our current circumstances. Where are the bible codes on the holocaust? That was much more horrific than anything we have going on currently, and in the grand time line of the world we really aren't that much closer to the end of the world now than we were sixty years ago. So why would the bible codes mention Sadam by name, but leave out Hitler, or other influential people who have lived in the recent past.

It all seems just a little bit too far fetched for me.

Ramsus, if you click on the first link I provided you will see that there are many codes which relate to the Holocaust.

Whether or not we choose to believe in them is a personal thing, but it must be considered that they amount to more than just coincidence.

I agree many of the codes can be interpreted in different ways, but is the same not true in regards to other acclaimed prophets such as Nostrudamas? The codes are definately there for a reason.

You're right, I stand corrected. I must have missed that link when I looked at the site.

It certainly is interesting stuff. It's hard to just dismiss, but at the same time it's hard to accept. Maybe I'll just think on this one for a bit.

The Bible Codes

While the original Bible Code book is certainly interesting and very thought-provoking, and the program that is used has been proven mathematically correct, the second book on the subject (from the original author) went so far out into left field I just had to laugh. He's now following up on the idea that DNA was brought here from outer space and we are all cloned from alien DNA. In addition, he's trying to excavate in the middle of the Dead Sea for.. is it the Ark of the Covenant? I haven't read it in a while, so it may be something else. Of course, with the War over there, the Jordanian government is not so eager about Americans doing anything like that, and I think most of the land is within their jurisdiction (according to the book). It will be interesting to see how his little journey goes.

In my opinion, of course.

The Bible Codes

My understanding of ancient Hebrew is there were no vowels. So, if you take the ancient Hebrew and use it to come up with codes a word like LK could mean lake, or like. I realize I am using English in the example, but I am just making a point to show that the translations and these codes can really be manipulated to say whatever it is you want them to. I purchased the original book and read much of it. I don't accept it as truth though.
