2012
and the Bible Code
Michael Drosnin, author of the
Bible code indicated in its
first edition that there are
Bible codes that indicate the
end of the world would take
place either in 2000 or in 2006.
Likewise, as you might have
noticed, this failed to happen.
So what about 2012 and the
bible code? At
www.theantichristidentity.com/stargate.htm
we are offering one of the most
controversial reports to address
this
concerning the link between
2012, the UFO phenomena and the
stargate agenda.
You see since Drosnin predictions appeared
to be phony, those who believe
fervently in the Bible codes
took aim at his techniques. They
saw how Drosnin was consistently
finding encoded messages - but
his examples had skips of
thousands of letters to create
“the encoded message.”
Additionally, since he was an
admitted atheist, ascribing this
phenomenon to a far superior
intelligence (clearly obsessed
with the Torah, but ironically
not the Hebrew God), made Drosnin’s claims more
unbelievable.
Certainly, many believed
Drosnin’s strange perspective
sucked him down a rabbit hole.
To Bible Code enthusiasts,
Drosnin was, at best, a learned
crackpot who had an interesting
way with words, biblical words
in particular. At worst, he was
a fraud.
Not long after Simon and
Schuster published the book, The
Bible Code, Eliyahu Rips posted
on his web site that he did not
support Drosnin’s contentions
and felt his many examples were
not in fact accurate or
representative of how one should
use the technique. Does this
mean that that there is no
credibility with 2012 and the
bible code claims.
Additionally, one of the team
working with Rips was Doron
Witztum, who on June 4, 1997,
released a statement on the
Internet worrying that Drosnin’s
lack of scientific methodology
would upset the legitimacy of
the Bible Code phenomenon.
Witztum was proven right; soon
academics at other institutions
sought to discredit the notion
of finding hidden codes in the
biblical text through the ELS
technique. Scanning through a
Hebrew version of Moby Dick, one
debunker composed sensible
phrases telling of
assassinations and other
horrible events using the ELS
technique.
