We are all still in the exploration phase of these however......... Nobody is 100% certain about these yet.  My personal opinion is that I'm 100% certain there is something going on with these, however.  Odds like these are beyond comprehension.

If you were to ask me if you should base any theologic or dogmatic decisions on these alone vs Holy Scripture in the Bible --I will always say; "absolutely not".  We are not to look to anything esoteric like Bible Codes for dogma.

Should these at any time be used to try and foretell the future?  Absolutely not - God's Word in Scripture absolutely forbids attempts at fortune telling of any sort.  Only explore the past with these codes....

One thing I have noted about the Bible Codes is that, just like ALL Scripture--they too point toward, and scream out; "Jesus Christ (Yeshua) is the Son of God, He is your Savior, Your Messiah, Lord of Lord and King of Kings".  Listen to the Holy Spirit in all matters of faith and dogma.  The fact that the words; "Jesus is My Name" was not too long ago found by Yacov Rambsel in the most germane "Suffering Servant" passage (Isaiah 52-53) lends more credibility to these codes.  God's saving grace is an unbroken pattern both in the Biblical text and perhaps also now via the Bible Codes.

The idea of a hidden code in the Bible text is not new. It is a central concept in the Cabala, or traditional Jewish mysticism. According to Cabalistic teachers, the simple meaning of the Bible text is not its true meaning. They believe that God used the individual letters of the Hebrew Bible text as symbols, which when properly understood reveal a greater truth. In their view, each Hebrew letter and its position in the Bible text was set by God with a specific purpose in mind.

Bible Codes and written surface words are just two facets of the Bible. According to ancient Jewish tradition, the Bible has 70 facets. Many say that everything is in the Torah--encrypted in some way. Your birth date, your death date, when you will marry, etc.

BACKGROUND:

A passage written about the Torah by an 18th Century rabbi and "sage", Elijah Ben Solomon Zalman (1720-1797), called the Genius of Vilna says: "The rule is that all that was, is, and will be unto the end of time is included in the Torah, from the first word to the last word. And not merely in a general sense, but as to the details of every species and each one individually, and details of details of everything that happened to him from the day of his birth until his end."

This view of the Scriptures is different than our modern idea of the Bible. So long as the contextual meaning of the verses remain in tact we are not too concerned with "the smallest letter." However, the statement of Jesus above shows an awareness that each individual letter is essential to the whole message. That is exactly true of the Bible Code. Since it involves exact mathematical precision every letter must be in its place or the code will not work! Surely, the above statement shows that the Son of God had a supernatural awareness of the amazing depth of meaning in every letter of God's Word!

Hints in the Bible like this led one of the greatest scientists who ever lived, Sir Isaac Newton, to search for a Bible Code. He believed the Bible Code to be more important than any of his great discoveries, including the mechanics of our universe and the force of gravity! Most of the million words in Newton's papers, found at Cambridge University, are concerned with Newton's search for the Bible Code that would unlock the future. "Newton was still searching for the Bible Code when he died. But his lifetime quest failed no matter what mathematical model he applied ...

DO WE NEED THESE BIBLE CODES?  Probably NOT! But Why Not?

Certainly we have enough in both the New Testament and Old Testaments for absolute salvation and eternal life.  But what about the "hunt"?  Could God be such a loving Father that He just knew we would enjoy hunting for more of His word?  Wouldn't the following verse seem to suggest this?

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

The apostle Paul very clearly wrote that "all Scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight, for disciplining in righteousness, that the man of God may be fully competent, completely equipped for every good work." (2 Timothy 3:16, 17). 

The prophecies that are openly presented in the Bible give a solid basis for believing its inspiration.  Unlike a hidden code, Bible prophecies are not arbitrary, and they do not 'spring from any private interpretation.      (2 Peter 1:19-21).

How happy we should be to have the Bible's clear message and instruction, which can help us to know God! 

Yet maybe Bible Codes will someday clarify things in Scripture.  Was Jesus talking about the entire generation who saw Israel become a nation in 1948 when He said; "This generation shall not pass" (before the Lord Jesus comes again)?  Or, was He talking about the generation born in 1948 and after (Baby Boomers)?  It is also interesting that the "Computer Age" which was necessary to search these codes began subsequent to this.  So, just perhaps there is something here in the codes for us.  Perhaps not.   See more on the Second Coming here.

There is an old Jewish tradition about a "hidden text" in the Hebrew Pentateuch (the Five Books of Moses), consisting of words or phrases expressed in the form of equidistant letter sequences (ELS's) -- that is by selecting sequences of equally spaced letters in the text. Since this tradition was passed orally, only few expressions that belong to the "hidden text" were preserved in writing (Rabbenu Bahya, 1492 and Cordovero, 1592); actually almost all the words and the syntax are unknown. Rabbi H.M.D. Weissmandel (Weissmandel, 1958) was the first to try to show the existence of such a "hidden text", by finding interesting patterns consisting of ELS's.

Most Important Code FOUND - Praise Jesus!

note how it was found in the most germane passage

In the "Suffering Servant" passage of Isaiah 53 where we read:

"He was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed"

---Yacov Rambsel found: Every 12th Letter in Hebrew spells "JESUS IS MY NAME"

Reference: The Genesis Factor

"NAZARENE" is also in the same chapter, along with seventy- four of the names, places, and events of the time period of Jesus of Nazareth!

JESUS CHRIST in Psalm 22

Psalm 22:1-15
Text retrieval without spaces: 45 letters per line

[red] The Temporary Dweller is JESUS CHRIST (Ger YESHUA MASHIACH)
[purple] The ram of His cross (ail tzelahvo)

This skip "45" is the minimum skip distance to the whole Tanakh. Psalm 22 is the most important prophecy of the Messiah's Passion as well as Isaiah 53. It is a pin-point overlap that the minimum skip appears in that prophecy.  The skip "45" is equal to the gematria of "Adam" in Hebrew. This shows that Jesus came as the Second Adam. The First Adam brought sin and death, while the Second Adam brought righteousness and eternal life.

New 73-Letter Bible Code found

The new code appears in the "Suffering Servant" area of Isaiah 53 "cluster", a huge collection about the final days of Jesus Christ which includes the names of all the apostles and the three Marys present at the Lord's crucifixion.  The new code skips every 738th letter, beginning in Isaiah 29 and ending in Jeremiah 3.  It was discovered by Dr. Nathan Jacobi of the society, a physicist and Hebrew expert while doing a search of disciples' names in the Isaiah 53 cluster. 

What is striking about most of the great codes found to date is how these cluster near a surface textual passage relating to the code.

Bible Probe finds it interesting how this code talks about raising "the Dead over There".  As if Jesus was referring to across a great void - or across the veil.....

Some Other Statements found in this same "Suffering Survent" Cluster:

"Mohammed" found in Bible Codes

Words crossing diagonal above: "Blaspheming"

Red crossing Diagonal below Blaspheming (left to right): "Demon"

Blue diagonal right corner: "Satan"

Green across: "The Unknown God" (as in Muslims pray to a God not there)

The "O" in "Mohammed" is the "O" in "God" in "The Unknown God". This is saying that Allah of Islam is not the God of the Bible, who is the true God, but rather Muslims are worshipping a nonexistent deity.

AND  below: "MOHAMMED" crosses "PROFANE MY HOLY NAME"
