In 1997, a book inspired many people: “ The Bible Code ”. And even today, 25 years later, some people still seem to be convinced that all major events can be found in the Bible - encoded by an obscure code that only seems to be discovered after the event has already occurred.
The eternal search for codes
For centuries, people have searched for secret messages that might be hidden in books, songs played backwards, clouds, photos or other objects. Some believe that the hidden messages in the Bible cannot be a coincidence - they must have been put there intentionally by God himself - who, after all, wrote the Bible himself, using the apostles as his tools.
American journalist Michael Drosnin's book tapped into this thirst for knowledge: it shows apparent "evidence" that the Hebrew Bible contains a very complex code that reveals events that took place thousands of years after the Bible was written.
How the Bible Code is supposed to work
The great thing about the Bible Code is that you can create the code yourself! Yes, really: There is no fixed cipher, you just think of a cipher and then dig around until you find something. An example:
To simplify things (simplified because the original code should be used in the Hebrew version), we'll use a code that uses every 4th letter for a word. As an example sentence, we take a passage from the English version of the King James Bible , Book of Genesis.
And now, starting with the “r” in “daughters,” let’s take every 4th letter.
31:28 And you didn't suffer me to kiss my sons and my daughterrs? Th Ou hast now Done foolishly in doing so.
Voilá: We just found “ROSWELL” in the Bible, the place where the US supposedly hides crashed UFOs and aliens!
As already mentioned above: The actual Bible code is applied to the Hebrew version of the Bible - which makes it much easier to find all possible words, since Hebrew has fewer letters. For example, it is much easier to find the name “Shakespeare” (11 letters) in the Hebrew spelling “shkspr” (6 letters): the fewer letters, the better.
In this way, everything in the Bible can actually be found, as psychologist Sebastian Bartoschek explains in a video:
“It doesn’t matter, the main thing is to find something.”
If there were a fixed code, it would of course be much more interesting to search the Bible and other books with it.
However, since anyone can create the code themselves, the procedure is the same: Many programs that allow you to search for codes yourself simply try out all possible “codes” until the corresponding words are found. So the result is in front of the question – not very scientific.
This may be quite amusing, but it also leads some people to look for supposed protective plants against COVID-19 in the Bible Code:
The example above shows the principle very clearly: Enter various keywords, a program searches all over the place for the letters, and the “prophecy” is ready.
Conclusion
The supposed Bible code is nothing more than a natural statistical phenomenon that can also be found in other books, languages and random letters. As long as a text is long enough, anything with a “code” can be found in it.
