Okay so i recently came across something called the bible code and I wanted to see what it was about. apparently there are many secret messages and prophecies hidden within the word of God about future events and prophecies and according to the author of the books series Bible code it has been scientifically proven.
So i became interested so i got free software to do the bible code thing, i still havent fully figured out how to do it but I am able to search for a word or phrase hidden in the bible from plain sight that can only be seen with a computer.

For instance for a test run I typed in my name Blain, its written 64 times in the bible and no i am not kidding its literally written in there. I then searched Obama and his name was also written in there many times.
at the moment I only know how to search specific words or names so finding an entire message might be pretty hard for me to figure out. But I will say this its certainly pretty interesting and could be worth looking into, I hope I can find a way to search through my bible on my own but I still havent figured that out.
Basically how you do it is take away anything that isnt a word like periods commas and space so it looks like this-inthebeginningGodcreatedtheheavensandtheearth. Now if we write down every 8th letter in that sentence until we get a word watch what we get-InthebeGinninggOdcreateDtheheavensandtheearth


See how it makes God in that one sentence? thats not a coincidence or accident, that basically how it works but the issue I have is that for this particular sentence it requires every 8th letter but this doesnt work for other parts of the bible so i dont know exactly what to do about it. I believe the book of Daniel and revelations holds secrets and prophecies ot seen with the naked eye but can through this bible code system. If anyone has insight on this i would love it, I intend to go deep into these two books from the first page and word to the last. And yes it will take a great deal of time but i am willing to go through it

Interesting but when the software was run on "Moby Dick", they found the same types of hits. I don't believe it is inspired. The Bible is encoded in a different way...

Mat 13:10 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?
Mat 13:11 He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
Mat 13:12 For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.
Mat 13:13 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
Mat 13:14 And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:
Mat 13:15 For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.
Mat 13:16 But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.
Mat 13:17 For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.

It may be more profitable to waste your time with alchemy, but, if you insist, knock your socks off. Or, if you must do something fruitless, try something more economical: study the "Who Killed Goliath?" thread, which, you seeming a reasonable and intelligent person, should be sufficient time in the rabbit hole to effect a cure.

And why would you run the code in English when the Scriptures are in Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek?

Okay chill ppl i am only looking into it im not becoming obsessed with it or anything, all Im trying to do is understand how it works and If i can do it then maybe I can see if its real. I think if it is real then Daniel and revelations would be the place to go, but just out of curiosity what exactly makes it a waste of time? I mean is there some sort of proof its nothing and leads to nowhere?

Post #5 is not sufficient to convince you? You're on your own good buddy.

If you read my post completely you would see i said every 8th letter until it creates a word, so when you find that word you move on it spells God and when you get to the D then you start over in the next sentence but like I said i dont fully understand it yet so i only know how to do this particular sentence

I did miss that part, and was just messing around a little anyway, but I guess that would ruin the joke.

CLICK HERE: Hidden Messages and The Bible Code

Also, studying this back when it was a hot topic, in a few years all sorts of Bible codes were all over the web, the prophecies derived from them utter failures. On the one hand, you have people claiming thus and such was predicted, which already happened, on the other hand, the Bible codes of the future utter failures. One must leave this to the individual to draw a proper conclusion, if 2+2=5, if square pegs fit into round holes, if God is encoding all these prophecies that turn to mush. Also leave it to the gullibility, or lack thereof, of the reader, to accept or reject the hokey explanation why the so-called Bible codes only work on the past. Then ask yourself why you bothered.

With all the study of the bible that produce fruits, giving time to this that may have validity and may not have any is a waste of time.

Especially the OT teaches on many levels, it teaches through word pictures, through history, through showing how acts we can express God and how some can express the anti-Christ.

Fee's book on how to read the bible for all it is worth is a wonderful resource.

Something I think we all should do is to research every verse of scripture for what it says about any controversial issue, such a works or law. So many people are living their life with only one or two ideas of these complicated issues because they haven't taken the time to hear all scripture says and use only part.

We know that there is depths of meaning in all scripture, and we understand only a part of what scripture tells us. It is tempting to find an esoteric shortcut to seeing these depths. It is also dangerous. We are told we must be as a little child in regard to scripture--we must simply accept what it says. All the things we have learned in our schools says to use our own reason, question everything, use formulas man has found. Our schools never teach that there is a Father in scripture that has absolute truth to be depended on with faith. So today's man use the way they are taught in school to learn and with God, it interferes with learning instead of helping.

It is the difference between the Hebrews and the Greeks. God breathed scripture
almost exclusively through the Hebrew race God created through Abraham. For years, scholars thought the Greek was the greater influence when Christ came, but the latest findings are against that. Most every person given the responsibility of reporting scripture was a Hebrew from the first Hebrew though to Paul.

Okay well with all that was said I have to find this out for myself, its not that I dont trust others advice but im the kind of person who learns better from personal experience. Now keep in mind im not going to become obsessed with this like those conspiracy ppl who are lost in their own minds due to being obsessed with conspiracies like alien abduction and how the government is out to get us and such. I will just look into this and see if its really bogus or not, of course I have to figure out how it works first

There is so much wrong with this I don't know where to start... I'd abandon this effort if I were you. It's a diversion from the truth.

Blain, if there are hidden patterns in the scripture, they would be in the original text -- which for the old testament is Hebrew & Aramaic.
most English translations of the Bible are made from a Greek translation of the original Hebrew OT. so what we read today in our language has been translated at least twice.
that means that where the original might have used 5 words for a sentence and 30 letters, what we read in English might use 8 words and 45 letters or 3 words and 18 letters or... without reading the original, who knows?

even if you could say OK the English is an exact replica of the original and the hidden code still exists, how do you know which English version to use? every 8th letter out of the KJV won't be the same as every 8th letter from the AKJV, NKJV, Wycliffe, the NIV, ESV, or some other translation.

i think the only legitimate way we can talk about numerology in the Bible is to use the original text in the original language. i'm not saying it can't or doesn't exist. just that what you're looking at with English words is a little like watching a Japanese movie with English-dubbed voice acting. what you're hearing doesn't match up with the way the actor's mouths are moving -- and what you're talking about is intimately tied to how the words came out of the original actor's mouths ... which isn't in English.

Even the original text, say in Greek, we don't have (KJVONLY'ers excepted).
We do have many early manuscript copies but even these in some minor areas differ.
It's better to do the hard study than rely on some quick-gimmick-reveal-all answers to the bible.

That's in English, what about in it's original language? And what about different translations- those are different words and therefore different letters. It's pretty neat, but I don't believe it. The next word would start with "ee" if I did it right.

But they don't use the eighth letter, they use the number of letters to skip that gives them the answer they are looking for.

If the Bible Code was genuinely what God intended, why did He discount about 99% of all human history form being able to use it? It takes sophisticated software and a better than average computer to run it on Hebrew scriptures by someone who has more than a passing familiarity with Hebrew.

Leaves most of humanity out.

I agree with this and will say.....it is interesting to note that the Hebrew and Greek alphabets have numerical value and God does give weight to this with the (number of a man) as applied unto the beast. To me, there is so much to learn and God's ways are so much higher than our ways....at the end of the day I jokingly look at this grand experience under the sun as a big construct and it is all 1's and 0's at the end of the day HAHAH<----KEY word Jokingly!

Having said that...the things made are not made of what they appear to be made of...so only the creator and sustainer of all things truly understands the whole of creation and the depth of the word.
