funny thing about waiting for someone untimely in a library is made through books that one would not buy in a million years, at least sober. That happened to me the other day and the book that caught my attention was "The Bible Code by Michael Drosnin.
The story of "The Bible Code 'boot from Weismandel Rabbi who in the first half of the twentieth century discovered that if one takes the book of Genesis in Hebrew and starts counting from 50 to 50 the first letter, is with the name of Torah, which is the Hebrew name of the Pentateuch. The same happens in the book of Exodus. In the books of Numbers and Deuteronomy, God changed encryption software and you have to count on 51 of 51 from the first or the fifth verse. It's the kind of curiosity with which one can do two things: let go when she is with friends to surprise them a little or take it very seriously and set up grand theories about it.
Israeli mathematicians Doron Witztum, Eliyahu Rips and Yoav Rosenberg chose the latter. Sorting letters of "Genesis" according to certain parameters, they found the names of 32 rabbis post-biblical, with their dates birth and death. One would wonder why anyone would bother to encrypt the "Genesis" as some interesting information. Posts to encrypt messages for posterity, why not cure cancer or private telephone Angeline Jolie?

thought the same thing and looked for the Jolie Angeline private telephone and other interesting things in Genesis. His technique is to pick out letters of the Bible at regular intervals, eg one in ten. When you find a name relevant to this technique, for example, "Jolie" immediate places text in square and the technique of alphabet soup begins to see if there are other relevant words in the passage defined. In this example, has caught chub know if you are also the words "Angeline", "phone" and the number sequence ... (What?! Really you believed that I was going to give away and face the number of Angeline Jolie? These things cost a lot).

Applying this system, Drosnin discovered in 1994 that Yitzhak Rabin was assassinated in 1995. He tried to warn him, but to no avail. The episode is very impressive and he certainly convinced him that there was a hidden code in the Bible. I would be just as convincing, if not because I am in a book published in 1997, two years after the event.
Some of biblical prophecies that have taken place and Drosnin found are: 1) "Clinton, President": The word significant was happening with Clinton in fact was "boss", but do not expect God to be an expert in American constitutional law, 2) The death of an Israeli police officer, called Toledano, who had been kidnapped. It is interesting that God is important both that event and instead were to neglect the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo, which led to the outbreak of WWI. Is not Drosnin was at that seemed so important to this event because recent headlines for a couple of days?, 3) appeared on the stage Shakespeare Macbeth, Hamlet. Why no "Romeo and Juliet" or "Richard III"? Perhaps because it is easier for the statistical chance give us a sequence of four letters "Hmlt" (the Hebrew Bible was written without vowels, which makes it easy to Drosnin) the sequence "swñdnnchdvrn" for "Dream of a Midsummer Night?, 4) The explosion of a bus in Jerusalem by a suicide bomber. Why God stopped in that event and not in the Massacre of St. Bartholomew in which French Catholics killed at least 10,000 Huguenots?; 5) The code also reveals "Wright Brothers airplane", a discovery that sparked more curiosity than the divine antibiotics, internet or the telescope, which are not listed, 6) The 1995 Oklahoma bombing which killed 168 people. A God that angered him so much that attack revealed encoded twice. In the Nanking massacre of 1937, which killed some 300,000 Chinese people, not devoted a single line.
The selection of things to prophesy that God made is very peculiar. The worst thing is that after 1997, date of publication of the book, God as a prophet fails more than a gun fair. Prophesy major earthquakes in 2000 and 2006, but forget the great tsunami of 2004. After having devoted so much space to the Oklahoma City bombing, is that he had not spent any of the attacks on the Twin Towers. For 2000/2006 predicts a nuclear world war, for the same effort could have predicted the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and would have more successful.

Statisticians and mathematicians have been pretty tough and parascience Drosnin. They claim that if we take a random sample of letters large enough, by chance end up getting to tell us what you want. In fact some of them used to it and, applying the same principles that Drosnin, found that "Moby Dick" also predicted the assassination of Rabin. The possibility that Herman Melville was the pseudonym under which God wrote "Moby Dick" has not yet been explored by anyone. Critics also claim that Drosnin has occasionally done a bit of juggling to make his theory fit in, playing with the fact that Hebrew has no vowels and that the waw and yod may have value as appropriate vowel or consonant.

Drosnin could confess that he had gone a bit nuts, but instead did something better: he wrote in 2002 a sequel to "The Bible Code"!
"The Bible Code II" begins in a very peliculera. Drosnin possibly write in the head and had to sell the rights to any producer in Hollywood. Account on the morning of September 11 he awoke to the sound of the planes crashing into the Twin Towers. Knowing that he had a bestseller in his hands, was launched on the computer launched its decoding program and obtained "Twin Towers." About those two words, one could read "airplane", "shot down" and "towers." Fantastic, but could have discovered that the attack on the Twin Towers was encoded in the Bible on 10 September.
In "The Bible Code II" Drosnin once again shows a great ability to foretell events already occurred and that plays when you try to divine the future. Neither Arafat was killed by a Hamas sniper, or Libya develop weapons of mass destruction, nor was nuclear holocaust in 2006. Drosnin's prediction that I wish to emphasize is that in 2002 would start a global economic crisis. 2002 was the time of the dotcom crisis. One possibility is that the crisis was over and spread to other countries. Thinking about the time he wrote the book were in the throes of a global crisis could be exaggerated, but not unreasonable. Drosnin mistaken pity that his prediction for five years. It would have been more convincing if he had found encoded in the Bible the words "subprime" and "thud in 2007."
Between 1997, when the first book, and 2002, he published the second, Drosnin learned something: that the prophets are very bad when they are wrong. Therefore, healing in health, warns that we have freedom of choice and code are indicating future possibilities. This Drosnin has achieved the philosopher's stone of the liars: if I am right in my prediction, bravo me if I'm wrong, is that I served a warning and made the events vary.
between 1997 and 2002 also had to change Drosnin camel and began to provide new psychedelics. In the first book implied that God was who left the code in the Bible. The idea that God revealed to Moses the Pentateuch letter by letter is shared by many people, so forcing them to go one step further and accept that God also made a code in the Scriptures, it is not difficult.
In "The Bible Code II" says, "[The code] is designed apparently for any intelligence that could see the future, to be decoded now. This seemed clear. The code could be designed so that Newton would have found it 300 years ago. Or could have designed for you to discover within 300 or 3,000 years through a technology that did not exist before. Instead, an intelligence that could be seen over time consolidated the Bible in a way that allowed us to enter the code at this point in human history. "Every time someone speaks of a superior intelligence, I know that sooner or later I will meet with the word" aliens. " Drosnin did not disappoint. His conclusion is that brought the aliens to earth human DNA and then left us the Bible code. Better yet, somewhere in the Dead Sea placed an obelisk that contains the key code.
suspect that soon we will see "The Bible Code III." My question is whether this time Drosnin continue playing amateur scientist or if it will be open to the realm of science fiction. I hope you do the second. Has wood.
This is the kind of alphabet soup that makes Drosnin to divine the future
