I just had an interesting talk with a customer who said he was shown by GOD, a secret numeric code hidden in the bible, after fasting for fourty days and nights.

This man went as far as writing a book with a DVD to explain what he found. I have a copy of it that he gave me before he left.

By what he had found he truely believed that Jesus would return to us in 2004 and he even spent everything he had and had gotten rid of everything because he didn't expect there to be anything resembling life as we know it after that year.

Do you think there is any secret code or message in the bible?

Quoted: Do you think there is any secret code or message in the bible?

I'm sure that God has figured out that humanity isn't all that bright and any secret messages in the bible would be a waste of good subtlety.

I saw something about this on the History Channel (I think) about a year or so ago.

Many Jewish scholars believe it, and they apparently have statistics to back it up.  It supposedly makes Nostradamus-like predictions, such as Hitler, 9/11, etc.

I found it interesting, but I'm not so sure.

The reason I found this interesting is because my father FIRMLY believes he has also found what he calls "The Solomon Formula".

I think he's crazy. It drives him mad that I won't stop my LIFE and devote ALL of my time to research it and spread the word and also prepare for the end of the world.

Since there is usually an end of the world date given in these things, I discount them.

Many scriptures state that no one knows the time of the Second Coming of Christ, so if somebody says they know, I don't believe them.

You would have thought God had given you special revelation if you had not eaten right for 40 days too.

The Bible doesn't need special codes. It sends a very clear message to mankind.

The Bible specifically says no one knows when the end is coming but God. Why would He put a code in the bible to the contrary?
