The Bible Code: Hidden Messages From Another Realm
Human beings seem to have a natural tendency to look for order and symmetry even in chaos. They find animals pictured in passing clouds, faces in sunbeams striking window panes, and human figures in natural rock formations. That being the case, it is only natural that they seek out codes buried in ancient texts. But what if they are really there?

The Bible Code Predictions
Michael Drosnin, author of The Bible Code and Bible Code II: The Countdown, claims to have discovered a secret code hidden within the letters and phrases of the world's most popular book. If true, the implications are staggering. It would mean that a supernatural consciousness, or, at the very least, a highly evolved entity from an ancient civilization either on earth or elsewhere in the galaxy, had the ability to foresee the future and sought to warn mankind about it in a way totally beyond current comprehension.

The code predicted the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Of course, it was not discovered in time to prevent the murder, but that does not always have to be the case, says Drosnin. He sent a letter to Yitzhak Rabin warning him of an attempted assassination. The letter reached Rabin in plenty of time. It apparently was ignored, and the assassination happened.
The Bible Code, if one is to believe Drosnin, predicted World War II and Watergate. The Holocaust, the atomic bomb blast at Hiroshima, the moon walk, the Gulf War, and the New York twin tower attacks of September 11, 2001 — all were predicted in a complicated code that is even now only in the first stages of being interpreted. It was there all along, but until the invention of computers it was impossible to decipher. Does this mean the code was meant to be discovered only after humankind had reached a sophisticated level of technology?

Drosnin does not appear to be a religious fanatic. He insists he does not believe in God. He is an investigative reporter who learned his trade working the night police beat for the Washington Post and covering corporate news for the Wall Street Journal.

There are no codes in the bible. There is not even prophecies in the bible unless you really warp the text.
Hi Mr. Jim Willis,
I remember when both The Book was released an several Documentaries were done on the Subject honestly, the only reason why I vividly recall when the Book was released is because It Sparked a Debate in Church from science on the other hand it seemed to spark a different response altogether wow Both Parties seemed to drag their feet on this topic.
I know every once in a while the Church family brings it up in Sermons but that's it.
The only Bible Codes I'm familiar with is The Book of Daniel, and Revelation but those Book's Deal with Bible Prophecy being Fulfilled in Today's World.
Goodbye for now Mr. Willis.
