From http://www.biblecodecritic.com/page.php/24 :
Bible code research is said to date back to at least the 12th century, when rabbinical scholars first wrote about discovering meaningful words hidden in the Hebrew text of the Torah.
Tradition among the most devout Jewish scholars holds that everything and everyone that ever was or ever will be was recorded in the text of the first five books of the Bible. Thus, as it was passed down letter by letter from God to Moses, then generation by generation to modern times, great care has been taken to preserve it intact. Rabbis encouraged caution in Torah copyists by reminding them that just one letter lost in their work could bring about the end of the world.
Only very slight changes have occurred in the original text over the 3,200 years since Moses first received it – a wonder that ranks among the great miracles of the ages. As the Torah was preserved by a miracle, so were the Jewish people, despite tremendous persecution and being without a homeland for 19 centuries.
More than 50 years ago, a Jewish rabbi (H.M.D. Weissmandel) noted that if you start with a T (tav) in the first verse of the book of Genesis, skip 50 letters, pick up a V (vav), skip another 50 letters, pick up an R (resh), skip another 50 letters, and pick up an H (heh), you have TVRH, or Torah as it is spelled in Hebrew.
Now this occurs, mind you, not only in the first book of the Torah, but also in the first verses of the books of Exodus and Numbers. It also appears in the first chapter of the book of Deuteronomy. In each case there is also a skip of exactly 50 letters.
For example, Michael Drosnin begins his book, The Bible Code, with a show-stopping claim: the assassination of Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin in November 1995 was foretold by hidden Hebrew codes in the ancient text of the Bible.
What’s more, Drosnin also found the name of the assassin, Amir, as a code near the original ones, as well as a code which meant, "name of assassin." Furthermore, a code for Tel Aviv, the city where the shooting occurred was also discovered, as well as a code for the year when it occurred.
Drosnin doesn't stop with the Rabin codes, however. He goes on to present numerous clusters of codes that would be astounding if only they were not coincidental.
Here is a sampler of codes that are displayed in crossword clusters:
Economic collapse, the depression, 1929 and stocks.
Atomic holocaust and 1945.
Watergate and "Who is he? President, but he was kicked out."
World War and atomic holocaust.
While all of these are bad events, Drosnin also presents a few positive clusters:
Wright brothers and airplane.
Shakespeare, presented on stage, Macbeth and Hamlet.
Newton and gravity.
Edison, electricity and light bulb.
Fall of, communism, Russian, in China next.
Does anyone believe in this stuff? I'm not too sure, but it is kind of creepy. I found some other stuff that was really creepy, so I'll put it in spoiler form, in case some people don't want to see it:
An atomic holocaust is expected to begin in the Middle East in 2006, along with a red star shining in the sky during daylight (which has been found by the Hubble telescope), and an earthquake in Japan. World War III is supposed to begin soon. In 2010, one of the world's most active volcanoes, Etna, is expected to blow, along with a comet hitting earth, possibly landing in India. Yellowstone National Park is found with the words choking, dust, ash darkness, etc. There is actually a massive, sleeping volcano under Yellowstone. 2012 is expected to be the time when Earth ends.
So what do you think?
