There are a number of Bible Codes that are being promoted right now. The most popular is called Equidistant Letter Sequences, or ESL. This is where a person will use the original Hebrew of the Old Testament and they'll start with a letter in a passage. They will then go to say, every seventh (or any other number they choose) letter in the passage, to see if a word is spelled out of every seventh letter. Many claim that these ESL's demonstrate that the Bible has hidden in it the history of mankind.

Another type of Bible Code is based on the Greek, and uses number sequences instead. For example, the last 12 verse in Mark 16 are considered disputed texts. But we can look at the mathematical formulae in the passage, and see that there is the evidence of a master Designer. Let's take a look:

There are 175 (7 x 25) words in the Greek text of Mark 16:9-20. Curious. These words use a total vocabulary of 98 different words (7 x 14), an exact multiple of seven. That's rather striking.

Try constructing a passage in which both the number of words and the number of letters are precisely divisible by seven (with no remainder)! The random chance of a number being precisely divisible by 7 is one chance in seven. In seven tries, there will be an average of six failures.

The chance of two numbers both being divisible by 7 exactly is one in 7 to the 2nd power, or one in 49. (This is a convenient simplification; some mathematical statisticians would argue the chance is one in 91.5 ) This still might be viewed as an accidental occurrence, or the casual contrivance of a clever scribe. But let's look further. The number of letters in this passage is 553, also a precise multiple of seven (7 x 79). This is getting a bit more tricky. The chance of three numbers accidentally being precisely divisible by seven is one in 7 to the third power, or one in 343. This increasingly appears to be suspiciously deliberate.

As we examine the vocabulary of those 98 (7 x 14) words: 84 (7 x 12) are found before in Mark; 14 (7 x 2) are found only here. 42 (7 x 6) are found in the Lord's address (vv.15-18); 56 (7 x 8) are not part of His vocabulary here.

This is, conspicuously, not random chance at work, but highly skillful design.

Be very careful. The bible code is some kind of word manipulation game.

You may be referring to ELS i think it is. And you need to input a question ,or keyword and it will search the bibles complete text in patterns for your word, and in similar pattern try to find other words.
