Not sure if you want to believe this, but each name has a meaning, everyone's name's have a meaning and in the beginning of the bible from Adam down to Naoh, each name has their own meaning, and ill post it below. I guess these are the meaning, i even looked them up. And if you connect each meaning to father and son from adam to noah it has a message about man and Jesus apparently. I dont know if you should believe this but i kinda found it interesting...might not be right tho

I am not sure on that bible code yet becuase everything they have found has happened already. I am just keeping an open mind about it.
Now the Bible code we can find on our own that I do believe in and would love to find someone to study some of them with me. In the King James Bible they are called jot or tittles. But they can be hard to find. It was of these very things that found the prophecy in the Book of Esther 1946.
For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

I believe this scripture would be a bible code, or just that awesome. 2 Chronicles 7:14. First lets look at the verse itself, its chapter "7" verse "14" (7+7). Thats just the first part thats kewl, second part about this verse is that God wants "4" things from us, that He will give us "3" promises. 3 + 4 = 7. Lets see it...
2 Chronicles 7:14:
[SUP]14 [/SUP]If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
You got yourself 777+7

It's interesting stuff. I think to assume that there's no code because of a difficulty to understand a code if there was one is no reason to completely disregard the possibility.
I think saying with certainty that there's no code in the bible is a bit naive. God is so beyond us in every way. Who's to say he didn't code his own book?

[h=3]Because there are many who do not believe there are any hidden messages in Gods word, I submit this proverb.
Proverbs 25:2[/h] It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.
The presence of encrypted messages and prophecies in the word of God, stands only to prove the supernatural authorship of the Bible.

The answer to all of this concerns the nature of the Hebrew language. When you play Scrabble in English, if you pick up five letters at random (that is the average length of an English word), the letters are almost always nonsense, like ssdfji or jkntu. It's rare to get a word. But in Hebrew, the average length is three letters, and you do not need to write vowels. There are 22 letters in the Hebrew alphabet, giving you just over 9000 different words. Look at the back of your Strong's concordance for the count in the dictionary back there, and you'll see 8000 of them are in the Bible. That's about how many words a language needs to be a language, anyway. That means, you get a word at random in Hebrew almost all the time. Now there are almost 10,000 words in OT (so Google tells me). Thats's about 30,000 letters. Now, the programs that make the codes let you start anywhere, go forwards or backward, and skip any number of letters between the ones you use, up to 50. That gives you 3,000,000 ways to come up with a possible selection of letters. With almost a 90% chance that a string of three letters means something, there is nearly a 50% chance that a group of five words means something. That means, the OT run according to the code program produces nearly 1,500,000 possible sentences.
I was totally amazed at how, when I did historical research into revivals, the two century old newspapers had mostly the same other news as we have today. Names and places change, but otherwise the headlines are about the same.
Now, how do humans process potential prophecy generated from random events? Here's an experiment: Take a pad and pencil, an all night radio talk show, and some cheap paperback novels. Listen to the talk show, read the books, and anytime you hear the same word at the same time your eyes see it, write the word down. I am told you always get a "prophecy" at the end of several hours. It's like a ouija board. By the time someone in the circle sees the first few random letters, they control the rest of it subconsciously.
Put this all together, and you get a predeliction to seeing "prophecies" in random data, a method of coming up with a thousand times as much information as history seems to indicate ever was published, and a fancy new gadget (the home computer, at the time) to give it to you.
The "Bible Code" is the end product.

We all know for a fact, there are many hidden messages throughout Revelation and Daniel. We know it is prophesied that in the last days knowledge would increase. I tend to believe the Bible Codes are real, and serve to fulfill this prophecy that knowledge will increase. I also believe the codes are solid proof that no mere mortal could have authored the Bible.
In times like these, when the intellectual elect are at war with everything Biblical, I think all Christians should rejoice to learn of any evidence that supports the Holiness and supernatural origins of the Bible, as do these codes.
