The Bible Code

Of the many prognostications about the year 2012, the one I pout the least amiunt of credibility in is the Bible Code. Operating under the letters ELS (Equidistant Letter Sequences), three men (Doron Witztum, Eliyahu Rips, Yoav Rosenberg) came up with a system that they feel reveals a secret message(s) in the first five books of the Old Testament- the Torah.

For me this has so many holes in it that it’s almost not worth mentioning, but we are talking about potentiel “Final Fantasies” so why not. while this approach is only a little more than a decade old, the existence of such codes has been hypothesized by students of Kabbalah since the Middle Ages.So that means that Madonna knows about it as well. :-)

A Bible code generally is the notion that there are information patterns encrypted or coded form in the text of the Bible. In other words, whoever it was that wrote whatever text had a secret plan to encode a secret message. Break the code and VOILA! I can’t begin to see the validity on this as the starting premise is that one man, MOSES, wrote the first five books. It’s obvious that many different persons wrote the five books over about an 800 year period.

And for Moses to have written about his death after he died is quite a miracle as well.

The Bible Code is a best-selling controversial book by Michael Drosnin, published in 1997, with a sequel, The Bible Code II, published in 2002. Drosnin describes his “Bible code”, in which messages are encoded in the Hebrew bible. The messages are purported to be hidden in the Torah, and yet deciphered by placing the letters of various Torah passages at equal intervals in a text that has been formatted to fit inside a graph. It’s sorta like make it up as you go.

Begin with a theory and work backwards. :-(

Many so-called “codes” have been discovered by Drosnin; however, the one that is of interest to us here is the one that says comets will pound the earth from 2010 to 2012 until the earth is finally totally destroyed. I think the odds of crossing the galactic plane is more logical and reasonable than dicovering codes by skipping every 50 letters or whatever from mauscripts that have been altered over and over again of of which there are no originals.

Ah, but that’s just me! :-)
