If the Bible code is real how do we use it to predict the future?

Question

Assuming that all of the "secrets" that Bible code researchers have unlocked are not just anomolies or coincidences that could just as easily be found in the U.S. tax code how can this code be used to predict the future?

Answer 1

Taking a Biblical point of view, God said we can't predict the future (no eye has seen, nor ear has heard... - I forget the exact verse). Taking the scientific point, codes like this are common in large documents (tax codes, entire civic legal documents, etc.), so the inherent reliability of what is found in one document can not be inherently superior than what is found in another document.
In addition, the changing of the frame of the code may provide multiple answers about the 'future'. One cannot call a specific aspect correct and discount the others unless every aspect matched/matches/does match what is found with that code.

Answer 2

Not real. High tech fortune telling. Clues: Selection of a technique that few can readily test for themselves (I don't read the language, and don't have the algorithm), western-centric findings (Robert Kennedy's assassination is pretty meaningless to world history), and selective amnesia (how many are wrong vs. how many are right).

However, there are many major world events that can be used to test the code. For example, where is the lost ark of the covenant? (that should be a slam dunk), Where is Alexander the Great's body? Where is montezuma buried? All "prohphesies" that would immediately be proven if the code predicts the locations before their found. Yet not one mystery has been recovered. Not one specific prophesy has been predicted prior to the event.

And as all charlatan fortune tellers say, the "predictions" are "only possibilities", but you may change your own destiny. When you hear that, you know it's bunk.

Answer 3

"Many things about tomorrow, I don't seem to understand...
But I know who holds tomorrow. And I know, who holds my hand." -Hymn

If everything was completely revealed, then there would be no mystery to things. We don't have countdown clocks above our heads.

Also, consider carefully that a lot of the Bible was compiled in differnent ways in the past. It was not first made until at least 100 A.D. Some documents were left out, and when ministers research the Bible, they take into note the other texts which are the apochryphal books.

Although, it would be pretty interesting if a movie like "The Omega Code" became real.

Answer 4

The "secrets" that the Bible code "researchers" have unlocked are mere coincidences that can be found in almost any text of sufficient length, including the U.S. tax code. As such, they cannot be used to predict the future.

Answer 5

I think you have completely missed this concept. The Bible is not a book that was intended to predict your future. It will tell you what God has planned for the future and your free will allows you to choose what you do with your future, but it doesn't predict your future. It is only able to tell you, if you live right and serve the Lord, your reward is Heaven. If you live in sin and immorality, your reward is Hell. I don't think that is a prediction, I think it is a promise from God.

Answer 6

Watch the History Channel. The Bible Code (in my opion) is mainly speculation. It does not seem to be based on mathematics much, other than it is a code.

Answer 7

I don't know. You should talk to Jerry Jenkins and Tim LaHaye. Then you could use the Bible to not only predict the future, but make lots of money off it as well.

Answer 8

The bible does not allow you to predict the future.

Answer 9

That's not what it's for. Do your research!!
