Messianic Jew Yacov Rambsel (in his book _His Name is Jesus_) and
others have discovered a Bible code mega-find. Looking for words
encoded in equidistant letter sequences (ELS), Rambsel discovered in
Isaiah 53 over fifty names that deal with Christ's crucifixion. Yeshua,
the three Marys, the Disciples, Herod, His Cross and other words
dealing with the Crucifixion are, appropriately, encoded below the
text of Isaiah 53, the Suffering Servant chapter. This clearly
Messianic chapter of Isaiah leaves no doubt about God's only plan of
Redemption.
Over fifty terms associated with the Crucifixion are clustered together
at minimal skip distances in the short twelve-verse chapter of Isaiah
53. The KJV translation of Isaiah 53 is quoted below. Tears should flow
in the eyes of believers who read the below encoded names, together
with the exact verse each term starts and the skip distance of each
term, in the Suffering Servant verses. When one compares the number of
names encoded and the tightness of the grouping with that of other
finds, one can realize how impressive evidence for the Bible's
supernatural design is.
Other ELS finds have been impressive, too, such as the 25 plant names
that are encoded in 19 verses of Genesis, a section dealing with the
Garden of Eden. The chance probability of these 25 names is 100,000 to
one. The chance probability of 16 "Eden" names encoded (Genesis 2:4-10)
is about 10,000 to one. The name "Aaron" is encoded 25 times in the
first chapter of Leviticus at a probability of 400,000 to one.
Here is the Isaiah 53 mega-find:
It is becoming more and more clear that those who go to hell cannot
claim that they did not have ample proof of God's existence and did not
have ample warning of the consequences of not loving God and trusting
in His Son's blood atonement for sins as the only hope of Salvation.
They will have only themselves to blame in eternal blackness and burn
pain, the most severe kind of pain, forever and forever. God describes
hell as a place where there are a lake of fire (Revelation 20:15), a
furnace of fire (Matthew 13:50), everlasting fire (Matthew 25:41),
everlasting punishment (Matthew 25:46), eternal damnation (Mark 3:29),
wailing and gnashing of teeth (Matthew 13:42), outer darkness and
weeping (Matthew 25:30) torments in flames (Luke 16:24).

Amoung those trillions of possibilities, it is not at all suprising that
SOMETHING whose a priori probability is very low will happen. Think of
someone walking in the snow. The a priori possibility of him walking in
EXACTLY as he did is close to zero. But it is virtually certain that he
will walk in the snow in SOME way. Same with the bible code.
A good way to look at god is given be Heinrich Heine. When he was on his
deathbed, he told a close friend that he became a believer in god. His
friend told him that he must confess this publically; Heine replied: "Do
you *really think* that the great white elephant of the King of Siam
*cares* whether a small gray mouse in Paris believes in his strenght and
power or not?".
So, if you believe in god, believe in him. But don't drag him into *your*
threats of hell on usenet. As far as I know, god@heaven.org is NOT a valid
address.

Okay, Dan, below is an updated list that gives the number of
Hebrew letters in each ELS example. As you can see, of the 50
examples, 34 of them (68%) have 4 or more letters. Since there
are several freeware Bible codes programs available on the
Internet, one can verify the finds. Since copies of the Torah and
Tanach are also available for downloading, one can count the letters by
hand as well. One does not have to take my word or Yacov Rambsel's word
for the evidence.

Unfortunately, you are wrong. There are three major problems with the bible
code that totally nullify the claim that it is a "code".
