When I see things like that it is so far away from my view of the Bible I have no response. I think every word of the Bible is speaking to me, an American, in the 21st century. I don't get questions like that. If the Bible is not talking to us today in the US then why read it?
As an aside I heard about "Bible codes" and so I wanted to test it out, There is a guy who will find your name in the Bible, so I gave him my name (first, middle and last), my Mom's name, my dad's name my kids names, my wife's name, the year I was born and the city.
He found my name intersected by my mother's name, father's name, daughter's name and wife's name as well as the year I was born and the USA.
The verses that were there were quite amazing and shined a light on my Christian experience.
Since then I have a whole new appreciation for "all things came into being through the word of God"
