    I think there is a relationship between the Daniel passage and this passage in the Revelation:

    Revelation 22:10

    Funny how only events in the past come up in the bible code. No one has predicted the future using this bogus methodology.

    Is not the message of the Bible plain and unambiguous? I fail to see how, even if the Bible code were real, how it would help convince anyone about its truth.

    Surely you are not serious.

    If an atheist knew anything about statistics, math and "proofs" and saw the degree of correlation found AFTER randomizing the text in which names and places and events are identified beyond the text -- they would be convinced.

    And that is in fact exactly what happens. The atheist does not care a bit about the Bible helping us know the future - they are simply looking for evidence of intelligence beyond the ramblings of a group of zealous semites.

    In Christ,

    Bob

    In Daniel 12 you have a booked sealed.

    In Rev 5 you have a book unsealed at the time of the end.

    The time prophecies of Daniel were not fully understood until much later.

    In Christ,

    So does the fact that similar findings can be found in any text of sufficient length make them inspired? Would you be convinced Moby Dick is an inspired word from God?

    Similar findings were not discovered in any other book.

    The author of the Bible Code randomization did not claim that a name could not be extracted in this way. It was the level of co-related facts and the size of the grids that constituted the statistical proof.

    Those without a math background sometimes look at the counter examples "as if" some proof had been given. So far it has not.

    As I said before - this is not a soft-speculative non-science (like the religion of Evolutionism) where simply "believing it" is all the proof needed.

    Rather it is a hard science (statistics and randomization techniques) with verifiable proofs and peer-review on anything but speculation.

    It is clear that some people don't like the "implications" of the mathematical proof but that does not affect the proof one way or the other.

    In Christ,

    Bob
