Few claims have received so much
attention and stirred up so much controversy as the findings of the Bible
codes. These suggest that embedded in the Bible are secret codes that
reveal all events - past, present and future.
There is a staggering amount of information on the Web regarding these
codes (a simple search on Google yields over 240,000 results). Indeed
searching for codes can be a lot of fun, sort of like a treasure hunt.
Getting to the truth regarding the validity of codes that have been found
however (i.e understanding if they are statistically significant), proves
a little more challenging.
Bible Decoder was written to enable anyone to investigate the Bible text
and search for possible codes. The following are just a few of the
features the software offers:
- One of the fastest (if not the
fastest) code search engine.
- Unique ability to perform code
searches on texts other than the Bible, in order to compare findings.
- Lightning fast searches for English or
Hebrew words within the Bible text.
- Synchronized view of Hebrew and
English texts for each verse in the Bible.
- Extensive help that includes
explanations on the various code search methods as well as an
introduction to Hebrew.
Main features of Bible
Decoder
- ELS Seaches on the text of the
Hebrew Bible
This screen shot shows a sample of a result from a search for Hebrew ELS
codes within the text of the Hebrew Bible. In this example the term that
was searched for was the Hebrew word for "Passover night". The
interesting thing about the result is that the term "Passover night" is
written across the text that describes the story of the Exodus from
Egypt, which is exactly what Passover night celebrates. There is no way
for a person living at the time that the Bible was written to know of
the term Passover night and place it neatly within the story.
- ELS Seaches on any text
This example shows how Bible Decoder can perform searches for ELS codes
within any text. You can use Bible Decoder to search for existance of
ELS codes within any text by simply importing it to the program. This
example illustrates that with enough perseverence, you can find words
that are correlated in some way within almost any text. Does this mean
that the Bible Codes are a hoax ? Not at all. It does mean however that
it takes more than finding some related words embeded within a larger
text to reach any conclusive evidence that something odd is going on.
- Synchronized searches on Hebrew and
English texts of the Bible
Bible Decoder contains a useful feature that enables you to perform a
search for both an English word within the English text of the Bible and
simultaneously for a Hebrew word within the Hebrew text. You can view
the results with both texts synchronized. In addition to being able to
quickly locate any term or phrase in the Bible, this feature can be
useful when trying to learn the meaning of the Hebrew text.
- Gematria code searches on the
Hebrew text of the Bible
Gematria codes are frequently used in Jewish mysticism (Kabalah). These
codes define ways of giving numerical values to Hebrew letters and words
(a more elaborate exlpanation is provided in the Bible Decoder help).
Bible decoder enables calculating the gematria value of a Hebrew word as
well as search for the occurance of all words or sentences throughout
the Hebrew Bible text that have the same gematria value, and then with a
click of a button, view the location in the Bible where the word or
sentence was found, with the Hebrew and English texts synchronized.
- Private English Hebrew dictionary
The Private English-Hebrew dictionary contains translations of English
words to the corresponding Hebrew words. The dictionary can be expanded
by importing additional word files, which which will be updated from
time to time on this site. This dictionary can be used to send the
selected word diretly to any search window in Bible Decoder.
- Virtual Hebrew keyboard
Chances are you don't happen to have a Hebrew keyboard... The virtual
Hebrew keyboard tool is used to type in Hebrew letters for the various
searches on the Hebrew text of the Bible.
