As God dictated the first five books of the Old Testament, He enclosed prophecies in a skip code--that is, every fifth letter in a sentence forms a word. The trouble is, the Code is so divinely complex, you need a computer to find it. Now that we have those, and author Michael Drosnin, you too can read God's secret messages in The Bible Code. Drosnin was a reporter for the Wall Street Journal who turned into the Jeanne Dixon of the Middle East after "predicting" Rabin's assassination a year before it happened. Since then, with the help of mathematicians, he's been finding the bleak Future all over the Torah: an earthquake in L.A. (2010), a meteor hitting the Earth (2006, 2010, 2012, or all of these), and, of course, nuclear Armageddon (2000 or 2006). But don't write 2006 off yet, because the book says that the Code doesn't predict the Future, it merely reveals one possible future. Hmm. The Bible Code is this generation's The Late, Great Planet Earth. For those in the market, it delivers.

Product Description
0n September 1, 1994, I flew to Israel and met in Jerusalem with a close friend

of Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, the poet Chaim Guri. I gave him a letter

which he immediately gave to the Prime Minister.

"An Israeli mathematician has discovered a hidden code in the Bible that

appears to reveal the details of events that took place thousands of years after

the Bible was written," my letter to Rabin stated.

"The reason I'm telling you about this is that the only time your full name

Yitzhak Rabin is encoded in the Bible, the words 'assassin that will assassinate'

cross your name."

On November 4, 1995, came the awful confirmation, a shot in the back from a

man who believed he was on a mission from God, the murder that was encoded

in the Bible three thousand years ago.


Reviews


You already know what I'm going to write
Once you get deep into reading the author's (Michael Drosin) material, you suddenly begin to realize what's what & who's who. Caution-some of this material will keep you up late at night pondering you're next move. Don't worry-everyone's fate has already been pre-determined through Biblical calculations. Mathematicians and scientist from around the world apparently agree, "The Bible Code" is accurate-wow! What do you think?

Ideas abound
Ideas abound in the Bible Code. The evidence is convincing and, regardless of whether it is ultimately disproved, offers a unique way to look at the Bible.

The Bible crock
Wouldn't be nice if there was some definitive proof that the Bible has some secret hidden knowledge within it? Man, that would be profound. Wouldn't it be equally awesome if in the book they say they tried using other books with the same code system they used for the Bible and no other book had any secret info? That would be far out man.

Sadly none of the above is true. When you read it you get blown away by how profound it all is. Sadly, they have found another book that the code works for and it can pick up strange messages of a prophetic nature. Also, unless you look for a certain phrase nothing comes up. I think the whole thing is wishful thinking folks. If you want secret messages from the Torah, check out Kabalah.

a surprise
i would have like to know that it wasn't in english. i haven't been able to read it.

Repetitive
This book was interesting for the first 30 pages. The gist of the book is extremly repetitive. I found it hard to complete the book because there was no incentive to push on. Drosnin's research is interesting, but it seems he enjoys it on a different level than the readers.
