Jewish mystical
tradition says that "G-d looked into the Torah and created the world."
The Five Books of Moses are G-d's "blueprint" for creation. |
Nachmanides,
in the introduction to his commentary on Genesis, says :
''
Everything is written in the Torah, esplicitly
or implicitly,
hinted in words, in numerical values, in
the shape of the
letters ( whether written in regular or altered
from ) , or in
the tips and crownlets of the letters.
''

 Ancient
Jewish sources teach us how to "read" these blueprints. Suppose we
eliminate all spaces in the Torah, and consider the text as one long sequence
of 304,805 letters. A computer then finds hidden words, encoded at equal
skips of letters. Statisticians call this phenomenon an ELS - short for
"equidistant letter sequence."
The Torah
Codes definitely exist. They foretell names and places of events throughout
human history: Holocaust, Sadat, AIDS. Torah Codes cannot tell us information
we don't already know. But what they do tell us is that the author of the
Torah knew minute details of world history, to our very age.

A 3,000 years old
tradition states that God dictated the Torah, (i.e. The Law, the Pentateuch,
the first five books of the Old Testament), to Moses, in a precise letter
by letter sequence, and that historic events, past, present and future,
are encoded in the Hebrew Scriptures by an encryption system which can
be described and unlocked.
The Gospels may refer to
this when they state in Matthew 5:18 “I tell you the truth, until heaven
and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a
pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished”.
During the Middle Ages a
famous rabbi, Moses Cordevaro, wrote “The secrets of the Torah are revealed..in
the skipping of letters”. In the 18th century the greatest Jewish thinker
of his time, Rabbi ElijahSolomon, known as
the Vilna Gaon, said
“All that was, is, and will
be unto the end of time is included in the Torah, the first five books
of the Bible”.
However the thorough statistical
analysis of huge quantities of text could only happen with the development
of the computer.
In 1994 the old tradition
received a sound scientific basis when three Israeli mathematicians, (Professor
Elyahu Rips, from the Hebrew University, Doron Witztum and Yoav Rosenberg),
used statistical methods and computers to research the Book of Genesis,
searching by “equidistant skip interval” 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. They published their study, Equidistant
Letter Sequences in the Book of Genesis, in the scholarly journal Statistical
Science, (Statistical Science 9:429-438), about what they called ELS (Equidistant
Letter Sequences) in Genesis. The program found most of the names, with
the odds against this occurring by chance calculated at 62,500 to 1. Their
summary said: “When the Book of Genesis is written as two-dimensional arrays,
equidistant letter sequences spelling words with related meanings often
appear in close proximity, with analysis showing that the (statistical)
effect is significant at the level of 0.00002”, (i.e. the odds are 62,500
to 1). This study gave mathematical and statistical evidence that information
about personalities, events and dates can be found encoded in the Hebrew
Scriptures.
The researchers, for comparison
purposes, did similar analysis in several texts: in a Hebrew translation
of War and Peace, in a scrambled Book of Genesis, and in other texts. In
none of them the results were different from what would occur simply by
chance. |
Equidistant
Letter Sequences in the Book of Genesis
Doron Witztum, Eliyahu Rips and Yoav Rosenberg
searched the Book of Genesis looking for pairs of
words spelled by picking out every dth letter, where d is
some integer. The pairs of words were names of
personalities and dates of their birth or death taken from
the Encyclopedia of Great Men in Israel. When the
authors used a randomization test to see how rarely the
patterns they found might arise by chance alone they
obtained a very highly significant result, with p =
0.000016. Our referees were baffled: their prior beliefs
made them think the Book of Genesis could not possibly
contain meaningful references to modern-day individuals,
yet when the authors carried out additional analyses and
checks the effect persisted. The paper is thus offered to
Statistical Science readers as a challenging puzzle.

The following
are some of the verses which are the basisfor believing
the existence of the Bible
codes: a) The Bible states that God dictated the
words to Moses
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 withIsrael
(Exodus34:27).
b) The Bible states that
Moses wrote the books of the Law,
And
it came to pass, when Moses had made an end
of writing the words of this law in a book, untilthey were finished
(Deuteronomy
31:24).
c) The Bible states that
the words will be sealed but eventually knowledge shall
be increased,
"At that
time Michael, the great prince who protects your people, will
arise.
There will be a time of distress such as has not happened from the
beginning
of nations until then. But at that time your people--everyone whose
name
is foundwritten in the book--will be delivered.Daniel
12:1
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.
(Daniel12:4),
***
KJV (Psalms 139:14-16) I will praise thee;
for I am fearfully and wonderfully
made:
marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. {15} My
substance
was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously
wrought
in the lowest parts of the earth. {16} Thine
eyes did see my substance, yet
being
unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in
continuance
were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.
(Emphasis"All the days ordained
for me were written in your book before one of them came to be"
d) The
Bible states that everything, past, present, future, is encrypted in the
letters of the books of the Law,
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
(Matthew5:18).
.
And
I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne,
and
books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life.
The
dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books.Revelation
20:12
