There are so many curious things written in the bible, and then there are the downright mysterious things hidden in plain sight. Sometimes a slow methodical read of scripture can reveal things easily overlooked. But then there are things that bear digging deep for mysteries revealed. Some folks would believe the bible was just written, or copied by Moses, or that it was possibly stolen from ancient Sumerian texts. I’m pretty sure that is not so. Here is why. No human (as we are today) could possibly be smart enough to write a text and be able to encode, via equal distance lettering, future events that would be sometimes thousands of years away. Specifically I’m thinking of the encoded messages in Isaiah 53 that tells of Jesus, his crucifixion, and all those who were there, listed by name, at his death. In twelve verses we are shown Yeshua, encoded via equal distance lettering. At the end I will list all the words that describe him encoded in Isaiah 53.
All nations east of Jerusalem read words from right to left, including Israel. All nations west of Jerusalem read left to right. In the Torah we find the word Torah (spelled Torh in Hebrew) in four books of the Torah, at an equal distance of forty nine letters apart. The way we find it is interesting. (Forty nine is the square root of 7, see EW Bullingers Numbers in the Scriptures for further study on numbers). Starting in Genesis with the first Hebrew letter representing T every forty nine letters we find the letters TORH. In Exodus it is the same. Not in Leviticus however, we will come back to this book. Then in Numbers we find, starting backwards with the Hebrew letter that corresponds to H, every forty nine letters spelling HROT, and the same in Deuteronomy. In Leviticus we find every seventh letter the name for God, YHWH. Genesis TORH, Exodus TORH, Leviticus YHWH, Numbers HROT, Deuteronomy HROT. The Torah points to Yahweh. What is even more fascinating is that Rabbi’s found this without computers. Now we can search out bible codes fairly quickly.
I bought a Bible Code program a few years ago. It truly is interesting to investigate the bible that way; however I am not educated in Hebrew and have a hard time translating words. Although some things I can do in English or Greek, Hebrew is better for the Old Testament.

I don’t intend on copying and pasting the whole bible and the definitions of words, but just so no one thinks I’m making things up I’m including the text here. This is my PC Bible program. There is a great free program called e-sword that you can use for research if you don’t have a bible program.
We don’t know when the beginning was, we are not given a date or reference point as ‘in the seventh year of Adam’. We are at a loss to try and place a date stamp on this “beginning”. We can trace humanity from Adam to present at about 6000 years, but humanity and the beginning have different time origins. Some people believe in the Big Bang Theory. Most serious scientists discount that as the start of the beginning because there had to be something or two something’s with opposing reactions to explode. We can’t have nothing and then an explosion. We do know that the universe seems to be expanding outward, which is why this seemed to be a logical theory. If the beginning started with a bang then there had to be some things in existence to make it explode, thereby presuming a pre-existence of something which means the bang was not the beginning.
The word for God is Elohim, where ever there is an im in Hebrew it is plural. In Hebrew there is a singular tense meaning one, a dual tense meaning two, and a plural tense meaning three or more. Elohim created the heavens and the earth in the beginning. But then something happened. It was created, and then something went wrong. We’ll explore this next time.
Isaiah 53
This came from Chuck Missler’s you tube video on bible codes. I find it fascinating that in twelve verses we have so much that is said about Jesus and even lists the people there at the crucifixion.
Yeshua is my name; His Signature; Messiah; Galilee; Shiloh; Pharisee; Levites; Caiaphas; Annas; Passover; The man Herod; Wicked Caesar perish; The evil Roman City; Let Him be Crucified; Moriah; Cross; pierce; From the Atonement Lamb; bread; wine; Obed; Jesse; seed; water Jonah.
Peter; Matthew; John; Andrew; Philip; Thomas; James; James (there were 2 James’ the third, Jesus’ brother did not become a believer until after the crucifixion); Simon; Thaddaeus; Matthias; Mary; Mary Salome; Joseph. (Judas does not show up)
