There is no such thing as bible codes-and yes I know all the awesome things people have found. When you apply these skip programs to any reasonably long book with the normal frequency of vowels and consanants you will find messages.
A friend of mine and I ran a skip code program as part of a science fair project for my kids---and found several references to Osama Bin Laden in James Fenimore Coopers "Last of the Mochicans"--we found a number of references to the war in Iraq and afghanistan in "Gone With the Wind". Look at the number of 7 and 8 letter words generated by these skip programs. You'll find three, four, and five letter words to have the greatest frequency, probability of statistically hitting a english "word" gets less and less the greater the length of the word. The probability tthat a skip code will pick up the word Osama (for example) in a 10,000 word text, is something like 25/1 for.

I'm not Christian but just wanted to note that the 'bible code' has been utterly discredited. There have been several detailed studies and all failed to replicate the 'codes'. Also, remember that the things supposedly found in the bible were found retrospectively. In other words, the proponents of bible code theory took events that had already happened and then claimed to find references to them in the bible, 'hidden' among the text. Nothing was ever actually predicted.

Well made point! I agree 100%. Even though I do not believe there is a heaven or a hell, I know what the concept Christianity has about them. To wish the utmost terrible thing on a person for all eternity is indeed a cruel and vile act. I would not wish eternal pain and suffering on anyone, yet they throw the phrase about casually.

Missler is a favorite of mine.
However, the vast majority of Bible Codes are generally discernible only in hind-sight. This makes prophecy based upon them an exercise in frustration.
God's "Codes" are humanly undecipherable.

The Bible code is a farse. I am a Christian and I was intrigued by this when I was 12, but I now realize there is nothing true in this theory.
