Bible Codes Questions - FAQ |
What is the main difference between the Bible Decoder and Bible Codes 2000? Both Bible decoder and Bible codes 2000 are biblical codes software, but as the Bible Codes 2000 is a newer version, it allows you to run the codes program in Windows XP. But if you use Windows 2000 or a lower version (Windows 95, 98), Bible Decoder is a very good option as well as 25% cheaper right now!
This theory states that encrypted in the Hebrew Scriptures are encoded messages, which can be searched for and discovered using a decoding system based on equal distance intervals between the letters that form the code. Who discovered the existence of the Bible Codes? An ancient Jewish tradition states that God dictated the Torah, (the first 5 books of the Bible), to Moses, letter by letter, and that encrypted in the text are names and events. Several years ago, three Israeli mathematicians, (Professor Elyahu Rips, a world renown scientist from the Hebrew University and his colleagues, Doron Witztum and Yoav Rosenberg), decided to study this belief with the help of computers. They programmed a computer to scan the Book of Genesis and search by “skip code”, (a decoding technique called ELS, Equidistant Letter Sequences), for the encrypted names of 32 sages who lived between the 9th and 18th centuries, checking every nth letter, where n can take any value. The program found all the names, with the odds against this occurring by chance calculated at 62,500 to 1.The researchers published the results of their research in 1994, in the scholarly journal Statistical Science, (Statistical Science 9:429-438) The skip code is a decryption method that takes every nth letter, (where the n value can be any number, from a minimum of 1 to a user specified number which can be several thousands), and groups them to see if they form a word or phrase, (which we call the “code”), specified by the researcher. The program arranges the Torah, (first five books of the Bible), into a continuous string of 304,805 Hebrew letters, and starts searching for the specified bible code, from the first letter of Genesis, (or from any other specified starting point), skipping from letter to letter by the specified distance. If the biblical research program does not find the specified word, it starts with the second letter of Genesis, and repeats the skip bible study search. Then it starts with the third letter, and so on until if finds the specified word. If, and when, the bible code is found the program rearranges the text into an array whose length is the nth distance in the skip code. For example the Hebrew letters in Yitzhak Rabin's name are found with a distance between them of 4772, (between Deuteronomy 2:33 to Deuteronomy 24:16), therefore the array is 4772 letters across. Is there internal evidence in the Bible for the existence of the Bible Codes? The following are some of the bible verses which are the basis for believing the existence of the Bible codes: a) “And the LORD said unto Moses, Write thou these words: for after the tenor of these words I have made a covenant with thee and with Israel.” Exodus 34:27 b) “And it came to pass, when Moses had made an end of writing the words of this law in a book, until they were finished.” Deuteronomy 31:24 c) “But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.” Daniel 12:4 d) “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.” Matthew 5:18
Is
Bible Codes 2000 the same program used by Professor Rips in
his pioneering research? |
