HIDDEN IN
THE BIBLE

The Bible code (Hebrew: הצופן התנ”כי‎, hatzofen hatanachi), also known as the Torah code, is a set of secret messages encoded within the Hebrew text of the Torah. This hidden code has been described as a method by which specific letters from the text can be selected to reveal an otherwise obscured message, and phrases that have been found to have secret meaning which reveal important world events, and the destinies of countries, peoples, and individuals. Bible codes have been postulated and studied for centuries.

Many examples have been documented in the past. One cited example is that by taking every 50th letter of the Book of Genesis starting with the first taw, the Hebrew word “torah” is spelled out. The same happens in the Book of Exodus. Modern computers have been used to search for similar patterns and more complex variants, as well as quantifying its statistical likelihood.

Some tests purportedly showing statistically significant codes in the Bible were published as a “challenging puzzle” in a peer-reviewed academic journal in 1994.
