The Bible Code- Fact or Fiction?

Since it’s discovery many brilliant minds have pondered the apparent code or encoding found long hidden within the pages of the Bible. This code or encoding in simple terms consists of consecutive and nonconsecutive groupings of numbers and words that form complex sentences. These groupings contain names, dates and detailed past, present and future events. Initially the Torah or Old Testament was focused upon in this search.The search then expanded to the bibles entire sixty six books evolving from non random applications of text to random and varied proximities and diverse groupings.

Far too much evidence exists to dismiss what is now called the bible code as coincidental.Some of the most brilliant minds in history have long since studied this phenomenon and weighed in on both sides of the issue.As is always the case the truth is to be found somewhere in between the two extremes.

The larger question then arises; exactly what is the code and what does it mean to mankind and our future? Once arrived at a place of understanding, how then are we to use this knowledge for it’s full and intended purpose and greatest good?

At best the Bible codes proponent’s have a sound case that the hidden information does indeed and in fact exists, and has been shown to contain factual validity. However, as in all things taken to it’s extreme it has at times proven fallible in it’s applications.The science behind it’s methodology must at some point become open to interpretive application.This is where it’s fallibility comes into play, and has proven such in the past. All things given by the spirit must indeed be tested by such. Any deviation from this test leaves the user and it’s use open to misinterpretation, manipulation and deception of self.

This could then become a prime tool for those who would wish to use this as a tool to control the eventual outcome of the events being predicted.This goes to the nature of time itself. We have seen that for every choice made it’s reactions have consequences i.e. cause and effect are its by product. The choice given man so long ago in Eden was a simple one....To trust in our creator and be content with what we were given. And to live as we were designed to live.

Is this yet another repetition of Eden’s test? And if man once again chooses poorly what will be the final outcome?

If our past is any indicator to not only fail this test of faith but to compound the poor choice by attempting to redirect our future and create a preconceived destiny without the proper knowledge could indeed result in the very outcome that is trying to be avoided or much worse!

Man is not nor will he ever be GOD, this inclination to attempt to be so is what is very likely to cause man's ultimate destruction. We were not created to be mindless drones, but to attain the wisdom to understand the difference between self determination and self destruction and how to recognize it when we see it.

With all knowledge comes ultimate responsibility for it’s use, which then brings us full circle yet again to the age old question, is man wise enough to be?

The very same source of wisdom and knowledge from which we derive the code tells us of a time ahead of ultimate choice. The depiction of our choices in the book of revelation seems to point to a duality of events,as the prophet is shown the events up to a critical juncture point at which time he is told by the giver of the prophesy in no uncertain terms that he is to immediately stop and not to record what he is seeing and hearing. At that most critical time the text seems to drastically shift it’s course of direction and level of intensity for the worst.

This sudden change in course then culminates in man's near total destruction and that of the earth as well. Is this soon to be where we shall find ourselves? The prophet is told that he is to prophesy again before all nations as the shift in direction in both intensity and severity can neither be fully measured nor contained in the same frame work of text. This directional shift is to be brought about through deception by the antichrist and his false prophet in an attempt to alter the prophetical time line and it’s laws. Time operates by it’s own laws just as all of GOD’s creations do. Without it’s intended structure it will not function as it should. It will eventually collapse under it’s own weight.

For those who would wish to study this phenomenon the book of revelation is a good place to Start. Rev;10 is the paradoxical shift in text. Some would discount all of revelation as worse case and avoidable.What has yet to be answered, if all that is predicted is avoidable then why after thousands of years and so many diverse authors of the books of prophesy and all the opportunities to correct our course, why then is mankind still rushing head long in this direction towards Armageddon?
