BIBLE CODES

-lanilane ocbina

People just don’t get contented about many things. We keep on digging up for clues and evidences, wasting time and effort just to prove our theories right. Sadly, some have even questioned God’s works. Some set up their own theories about the ultimate tool used to follow His teachings- the BIBLE.

Have you ever heard of the BIBLE CODES?

The bible code used to be called as Torah Codes. It contains the patterns that reportedly exist in encrypted or coded form in the bible text.

Biblical scholars hypothesized that there are hidden messages in every text in a Bible. Some of them have enthusiastically developed a study and later on designed a program that "decipher" the codes in the bible.

The method used was the Equidistant Letter Sequences (ELS). ELS is obtained by choosing a starting point (letter) and a skip number. Then, selecting letters from the text at equal spacing as given by skip number.

This is better pictured on a grid like this:

Some grids "decoded" significant events such as the death of some US presidents. Those grids reportedly decoded the names of people involved such as the names of assasins and the exact date of the president’s death. Do you believe it too that ELS program developers and  scholars have decoded facts about the 9/11 attack?

A lot of theories evolved such as that the bible is being controlled by aliens. That these creatures aim to invade our world through our bible.even further that these aliens have encoded hidden messages to bog our minds.

It’s sad that people continuously question the holy scriptures. These questions in fact indirectly question our God. Why can’t we be contented of the true evidence- the GOOD WORKS. Perhaps, it is time to understand that the causes and sources are not the real proofs, but instead good works.

Let us be responsible of our own mind. Let us not be influenced by the way other think. Let’s focus on God our creator. Through this, we will never be astrayed. Be wary of "false prophets" who introduce facts about our God. ("Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves.- Matthew 7:15)
