Ever heard of ELS codes in the Bible? I suggest you google that and take a look.

The actual truth about the Bible codes was finally revealed by statistical analysis: they do not just exist in the Pentateuch; they are found everywhere. ELS codes are found with approximately equal frequency in the Book of Genesis, the Qur'an, Tolstoy's "War and Peace," or in any sufficiently long text written in any language.
The following challenge was made by Bible Code author Michael Drosnin: "When my critics find a message about the assassination of a prime minister encrypted in Moby Dick, I'll believe them." (Newsweek, Jun 9, 1997)
In Moby Dick they found predictions of the assassinations of Indira Ghandi, President Rene Moawad, Leon Trotsky, Martin Luther King, Chancellor Englebert Dollfus, Sirhan Sirhan, John F. Kennedy, Abraham Lincoln, Yitzahk Rabin,

Yes, I have. Studied them. And you know what? If you took the work of Shakespere and wrote it out "just like the ancient Hebrew Bible" so that each word was laid end to end in a big continuous run on sentence, you would get the same results....
The "code" is nothing more than taking a document, changing it into another language, finding "hidden" messages, then retranslating that message from hebrew back into English.....law of probability. Nothing amazing about it.... Truth is, the code doesnt work with english translations of the bible - only with hebrew versions, that are then retranslated into english......
Might I suggest you do not beleive everything you read on the internet, nor should you beleive everything mommy and daddy taught you?

If you know your math, you won't be impressed by this. It's just a neat little trick. You can do the same thing with Moby Dick or any other book with lots of text (or, gasp!, the Quran). The probability that you'll find exactly what you're looking for is, more or less, a certainty.

If ELS codes were valid, then it would work in ANY translation.

Yes.
Masturbation with numbers and phrases has no scientific or intellectual merit.
