>According to Bible Code Digest, Nathan Jacobi, an Israeli researcher, has discovered more than a dozen encoded Hebrew sentences in the Old Testament that predict the cause of the present economic crisis, its global extent, and the problems this economic crisis has produced.

According to a post published by Bible Code Digest, “In each code, the Hebrew letters are equally spaced within the literal text. For example, suppose that ‘credit crisis’ appeared in Job, picking up every tenth letter from the text. Jacobi then looked at the string of letters one would obtain by picking up every tenth letter before and after the original search term.” As a result, the biblical codes reveal thirteen causes that have contributed to the present global economic crisis.

Now, you ask me: “Do you believe that Bible codes predict the global economic crisis?” My answer is: “Of course not!” Such a prediction done by the ELS method requires a very fertile mind to read what is not in the Bible and a very gullible mind to believe this bunch of non-sense.

Here is an example of the prediction arrived by Bible codes:

Economic Crisis

He will illuminate to the evil people
the trap of an economic crisis.
Where are they? Are they ours?

This code is mysterious, with its references to he, they, and ours. However, the middle portion of the code, illuminate to the evil people the trap of an economic crisis, reads more like a cry to enlighten people about the dangers of this crisis. The evil people could be a reference to Wall Street and corporate executives whose greed helped create the current crisis.

Does this code make any sense? Not to me.
