Bible Codes Explained

Equi-distant Torah Codes fully explained.

"To Moses We gave the Scriptures, a perfect CODE for the righteous, with precepts about all things, and a guide and a blessing, so that his people might believe in the ultimate meeting with their Lord".

TORAH CODES - WHY THEY ARE SO IMPORTANT:

There is a very important prophecy in the Bible.
Daniel 12:4 But you, Daniel, roll up and seal the words of the scroll until the time of the end. Many will go here and there to increase knowledge."

The Torah is the scroll spoken of in Daniel 12:4, it has been kept pure, letter by letter, for over 3300 years, but the code hidden within it was only recently confirmed with the assistance of computers.
This is the "time of the end" the Daniel 12:4 prophecy speaks of, where people with computers "will go here and there to increase knowledge".
The Torah Code works like this... Letter by letter the entire Torah/Tanakh is fed into a computer, then words and sentences are searched for using "Equi-distant Letter Spacing/Skips" (ELS).

ELS is used by cryptography and government code experts around the world. Here's the simplest way to understand it.

Suppose you fed the Torah into the computer, and told the computer to see if a certain search term appears:
הואהמשיח "He is the Messiah".

Although that could be there by random chance, 10 Codes were expected, 5 Codes were found, if one of them extended with a name of the Messiah, then it was placed there by God, but hidden so it would only be discovered when humans had the technology to find it.
In this example, one Torah Code extended to:
רלירהואהמשיח "R.Lear He Is The Messiah".

The Torah and Tanakh Codes work on this same premise, some with odds against "chance" calculated at well over a million to one. In the world of science, such replicable data, combined with such quantifiable odds, is considered "proof"...
Not faith or snake oil, just hard data that no mathematician can honestly deny.
And now you understand why, in a world filled with fakery, these PROVABLE "messages from God" are so important.

HISTORY OF THE CODES:

Jewish culture has a long tradition of interpretation, annotation, and commentary regarding the Bible, leading to both exegesis and eisegesis (drawing meaning from and imposing meaning on the texts). The Bible code can be viewed as a part of this tradition. Throughout history, many Jewish, and later Christian, scholars have attempted to find hidden or coded messages within the Bible's text, notably including Isaac Newton.
The 13th-century Spanish Rabbi Bachya ben Asher may have been the first to describe an ELS in the Bible. His four-letter example related to the traditional zero-point of the Hebrew calendar. Over the following centuries there are some hints that the ELS technique was known, but few definite examples have been found from before the middle of the 20th century. At this point many examples were found by the Slovak Rabbi Michael Ber Weissmandl and published by his students after his death in 1957. Nevertheless, the practice remained known only to a few until the early 1980s, when some discoveries of an Israeli school teacher Avraham Oren came to the attention of the mathematician Eliyahu Rips at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Rips then took up the study together with his religious studies partners Doron Witztum and Alexander Rotenberg, and several others.
Rips and Witztum designed computer software for the ELS technique and subsequently found many examples. About 1985, they decided to carry out a formal test, and the "Great rabbis experiment" was born. This experiment tested the hypothesis that ELS's of the names of famous rabbinic personalities and their respective birth and death dates form a more compact arrangement than could be explained by chance. Their definition of "compact" was complex but, roughly, two ELSs were compactly arranged if they can be displayed together in a small window. When Rips et al. carried out the experiment, the data was measured and found to be statistically significant, supporting their hypothesis.
The "great rabbis experiment" went through several iterations, and was eventually published in 1994, in the peer-reviewed journal Statistical Science. Prior to publication, the journal's editor, Robert Kass, subjected the paper to three successive peer reviews by the journal's referees, who according to Kass were "baffled". Though still skeptical, none of the reviewers had found any flaws. Understanding that the paper was certain to generate controversy, it was presented to readers in the context of a "challenging puzzle."
Witztum and Rips also performed other experiments, most of them successful, though none were published in journals. Another experiment, in which the names of the famous rabbis were matched against the places of their births and deaths (rather than the dates), was conducted in 1997 by Harold Gans, former Senior Cryptologic Mathematician for the United States National Security Agency. Again, the results were interpreted as being meaningful and thus suggestive of a more than chance result. These Bible codes became known to the public primarily due to the American journalist Michael Drosnin, whose book The Bible Code (Simon and Schuster, 1997) was a best-seller in many countries. In 2002, Drosnin published a second book on the same subject, called Bible Code II: the Countdown. The Jewish outreach group Aish-HaTorah employs Bible Codes in their Discovery Seminars to persuade secular Jews of the divinity of the Torah, and to encourage them to trust in its traditional Orthodox teachings. Use of Bible code techniques also spread into certain Christian circles, especially in the United States. The main early proponents were Yakov Rambsel, who is a Messianic Jew, and Grant Jeffrey. Another Bible code technique was developed in 1997 by Dean Coombs (also Christian). Various pictograms are claimed to be formed by words and sentences using ELS.
Since 2000, physicist Nathan Jacobi, an agnostic Jew, and engineer Moshe Aharon Shak, an orthodox Jew, claim to have discovered hundreds of examples of lengthy, extended ELSs. The number of extended ELSs at different lengths is compared with those expected from a non-encoded text, as determined by a formula from Markov chain theory.

SCRIPTURES:

Dan 12:4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, until the time of the end:
many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.

Pro 3:13 Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that obtaineth understanding.

Pro 25:2 It is the glory of God to conceal a thing; but the glory of kings is to search out a matter.
