The secret code of the Bible and Kabbalah
by Pablo de Felipe recently been reviewed in this journal the book The Secret Co
de of the Bible (fourth), which purports to explain the recent discovery of a my
sterious "code" in the Bible that would "learn" from past to future. Such claims
have continued to cause some concern. Here we examine these assumptions startin
g from its history. Bible and Kabbalah The Hebrew people did not stand out in an
cient times for their interest in mathematics. But in the Bible, it reflects a s
trong interest in numbers and their symbolic use, in particular Goal 7, continuo
usly used, but without explaining its meaning or interest to attribute this to a
nything in particular. Kabbalah means tradition and initially called all entries
received with the exception of the Torah (Law or Pentateuch). In the Middle Age
s, began to restrict their use to refer to all Jewish secret doctrines intended
to explain the universe based on a complex theosophical philosophy which was att
ributed to the prophets or patriarchs. While the Kabbalists were based on tradit
ional Jewish elements, their ideas were not accepted by everyone. The basic book
s of Kabbalah is the Zohar (thirteenth century) and the Jezirah (IX), but its or
igins date back to the complex interplay of mystical and occult philosophies whi
ch were fashionable at the end of the Roman Empire and especially in the famous
Alexandria. However, its heyday was in the Middle Ages. In the Renaissance, its
influence extends to Christianity, as many thought they saw reflected in Kabbala
h Christian truths (the Trinity, Messiah, etc.), And some became Christian Kabba
lists. The interest in these studies reached the potatoes (2 / 17). The Hebrew l
anguage Hebrew, ancient Semitic language akin to the Canaanite, Phoenician, has
an alphabet of 22 consonants (vowels are not written). As in other ancient langu
ages, each letter has a numeric value. Until the Middle Ages, Hebrew was written
continuously, without separating words or paragraphs. Like other ancient langua
ges, has a limited vocabulary (about five hundred roots and five thousand words)
and a high polysemy (each word can have multiple meanings.) In a text, it is es
sential to take into account the context provided. Hermeneutical traditions and
Kabbalistic Kabbalah methodology is in connection with a particular way of seein
g the biblical text, without which the Cabalistic methodologies that apply to th
eir study, they would not make much sense. For the Kabbalah, the Bible is a grea
t mystery code on how important or more than the text message is the same, words
, letters, shapes of appendices of letters, etc. Therefore, the Kabbalist can no
t simply read the Bible, you have to decode, unravel its mysteries hidden by a h
ermeneutic and esoteric initiates. A. Modern Kabbalist D. Grad said: - the tradi
tion teaches that the order of the paragraphs of the Bible is the true order, as
it only knows the Master of the Universe, because otherwise everyone who read i
t could create a world, give life to the dead and do miracles, [...]. (3 / 68, 6
9). Hence there is only one step to the elitist conception of two levels of Bibl
e reading, the surface of ordinary people and the depth of the initiated and tea
ches the Zohar (4 / 35, 36). Thus, we have the two fundamental ideas to understa
nd the work Kabbalist: The Bible is a great code and that code is hidden, messy
and interspersed in the text. The latter further reinforced the idea that the in
itiatory character code produced by itself. The attention of the Kabbalist is no
t limited to reading the biblical text to a deeper level, but read another text
that is hidden within the Bible. To this end, the Kabbalist uses various procedu
res Gematria (numerical value calculation of words), Notaricon (formation of acr
ostics or final letters of words of text) and Temoura (changing the order of the
letters of a word or decomposition of it into new ones) (5/XLIX-LXII).
One of the things that attracts the attention of this form of herméutica is tha
t, unlike the usual hermeneutics, do not take into account context, or text, or
the books of the Bible, not the entire

2 Bible. The context is completely neglected. In the background is the great ene
my, referring to the direct reading of the text and orderly. But the Kabbalist d
espises the ordinary structure of the Bible as the structure "real" is hidden. T
hus, the Kabbalist is not that does not respect the context€it destroys it for
new meanings: the sages said: "When Moses was born the whole house was filled wi
th light. It is written, it was good [Ex 2:2] and is written: And God saw the li
ght was good [Gen. 1:4]. " (6 / 81). The wise interpreters did not have many qua
lms about handling the biblical text and used as the Gematria methods to suit th
eir own ideas: [...]. Thus, in Nm. 12:1 we read that Moses was married to an "Et
hiopian woman" (in the original, "Cushith"), Onkelos put in place that, by "Gema
tria", the words "beautiful appearance" being the numerical value of both Cushit
h as "a beautiful part 'of 736. With this substitution was removed while the obj
ectionable idea that Moses had married an Ethiopian. [...]. (7 / 299). Kabbalist
ic Philosophy Kabbalists also created a philosophy that was a hodgepodge of bibl
ical ideas and Greek philosophy in vogue in the medieval period. In general, the
scheme was pantheistic and emanating Kabbalist. Everything comes from God throu
gh fumes, so that God will not have direct contact with the terrestrial world, a
s this profane perfection (it is interesting to note the similarities of this wi
th the Aristotelian cosmology as popular in the Middle Ages.) In this process te
n "intelligences" intermediate called Sephiroth, which hierarchically from one a
nother from the same God. In other schemes are attached great importance to the
22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet, which, with the Sephiroth, are the 32 ways of
Wisdom (2 / 15, 16). Kabbalah degenerated into a syncretic religion away from t
he biblical doctrine contained in the "superficial reading" of Scripture. Not su
rprisingly, after the initial boom in the Middle Ages, had just being away from
mainstream Judaism, especially in recent centuries when not only his theology wa
s suspect, but the cosmology in which he leaned was ruined by science modern.
A collection of articles and magic Occult Kabbalists Kabbalists's interest goes
beyond the decoding of the text, for them the language, particularly the Hebrew
language, not a media without more. If the Bible was a mystery full of deep and
hidden meanings, the Hebrew, the language of Adam, too (3 / 15). As the above qu
otation from A. D. Grad explains clearly this is not just theoretical, the Kabba
list is eminently practical and uses his knowledge to act as a magician and gain
power. This took the central idea of magic: to do something "natural" in this w
orld, to get something "supernatural" is activated from another world into ours.
Thus, the magician is one who knows the secret "leverage" in this world can mov
e to force the supernatural world to act in favor of the Magician on Earth (in t
he Bible this is called "tempting" or "put to the test God, "Mat. 4:5-7, Lk. 4:9
-12; is something besides forbidden, absurd, since God can not be controlled by
humans): According to Kabbalah, everything that exists on Earth is formed on the
model of the world above. "There is not the smallest object in this world," say
s Rabbi lacks Ytsjak-equivalent to the top of the world is governed. " Also, by
placing objects moving down here, are made to move the forces that govern top. (
3 / 34). The Cabal "practice" intended to do miracles: healings, exorcisms, etc.
., Invoking God's name or writing it on amulets. The most famous and most fright
ening, magical legend of the golem is Kabbalist (clay figure which was given wit
h special spells life). Finally, the Kabbalah was used to predict the future and
the coming of the Messiah. Kabalism computerized or secret code of Michael Dros
nin's Bible Unfortunately, the cabalistic mania did not end in the Middle Ages o
r the Renaissance. Still alive today. We saw as the kabbalistic extended to both
Jews and Christians. If the medieval Kabbalists sought a deep knowledge in Kabb
alah in the Renaissance it became fashionable among Christians to try, just agai
nst the Jews, the truth of the Christian message. In recent centuries, to the cr
iticism of the Bible, the main objective of many growers of these ideas is apolo
getic. Intend to use these "discoveries" to "demonstrate" the doubters, divine i
nspiration
Seuthes biblical text. This continues to be a perversion of the original meaning
 of Kabbalah. It is because it was believed that the text was sacred and divinel
y inspired, by what was sought in him a superior knowledge, not vice versa. Rabb
is, mathematicians, and journalists and we got to the computer age. Computers an
d technology have revolutionized everything and Kabbalists have been modernized.
€But they have not changed the claims of greatness, as in the past, dream of ac
quiring influence. The last episode (so far) of this story is about a book calle
d The Secret Code of the Bible, the American journalist Michael Drosnin (8). The
title says it all, as the ancient Kabbalah, contains the three key words: "code
", "secret" and "Bible." How do I get this code? It converts the text of the law
in a continuous strand of 304 805 points. Then he tells the computer to look fo
r names, words, etc. we provide. The computer starts the search by the first let
ter and is trying all the possibilities, forming words by steps of 1, 2, etc. ch
aracters. After the search is repeated starting with the second letter, and so o
n until the last of the 304,805. By finding a keyword formed by the joining of l
etters with the minimum fixed separation possible, the computer rearranges the t
ext so that word can be read vertically and make a "two-dimensional array" of le
tters, whose ranks have as wide the distance between the letters of the keyword.
Following are looking around other related words in any possible management (ve
rtical, horizontal, diagonal, etc.).. The combination of this procedure are exor
bitant, as one of its inventors, the mathematician Rips: Ten or twenty billion m
inimum. [...]. (8 / 44). In the eighties, the group of physicist Doron Witztum,
with the participation of the mathematician Eliyahu Rips, it was decided to stud
y this idea with the help of statistics and computer science. This sought in Gen
esis matches between the names of a list of Jewish characters and their dates of
birth or death. The surprisingly successful results were published in the journ
al Statistical Science (9). Drosnin Although not mentioned, we must not lose sig
ht of the main protagonists of this story, Doron Witztum, Eliyahu Rips and Drosn
in that as an independent, Harold Gans, are related (especially the latter) with
the Jewish religious organization Aish HaTorah , using the "code of the Torah"
as part of his apologetics (11). Witztum's followers maintain several pages on t
he Internet (12). With this group, especially with Rips, had contact at the begi
nning of this decade, Drosnin, who became a fan of the "code of the Bible: The B
ible is shaped like a giant puzzle. Is encrypted from start to finish with words
that connecting one another, reveal a hidden history. [...]. There is a Bible u
nder the Bible. "(8 / 24, 25). As in the best Kabbalistic tradition, not just to
seek some kind of more or less esoteric wisdom and mysterious. Applications" pr
actices "are around the corner: Rips took a volume of his library and I read a q
uote from an eighteenth-century sage called the Genius of Vilna: 'It is a rule t
hat everything that was, is and will until the end of time is included in the To
rah, from first to last word. And not only in a general sense, but every detail
of each species and each of its members, and even the detail of every detail of
what happens to it from birth to which ceases to exist. "(8 / 18). Drosnin he cl
aims that do not yet know if all the past and all the future of every one of us
are contained in a higher level and for now inaccessible password of the Bible.
This would make, in effect, in the Book of Life. [...]. (8 / 45). The book begin
s by presenting a simple case and spectacular, a matrix in which the name "Yitzh
ak Rabin "vertical is crossed horizontally by" murderer who will assassinate ".
This figure appears on the cover of the book and is explained in great detail in
the interior (Fig. 1). Then, and to support confidence in the" code the Bible "
, are matrices containing the announcement of recent international events or his
tory. Posted this basis, Drosnin passed to the central idea of the book, what is
the object of his main interest: the announcement of Armageddon. In the matrix
where he announced the assassination of Rabin on "murderer who murdered," reads
the phrase "all his people into war." Subsequently, Drosnin found other matrices
which speaks of "holocaust of Israel" and the date of the Jewish year 5756 ( 19
95 / 6). However, a shadow slips as early as page 56, the letters

Collection of articles
give that time, also mean "you will change what?". Is it possible to change the
future? On this question, the book is given to fanciful speculations about the p
ossibilities to manipulate time and the like,€using, as was
less, the theories of quantum physics, relativistic ...
The climax is the discovery of a matrix that is associated with impending disast
er, by 1996, with a tour of the newly elected president of Israel, Netanyahu, in
which he would be killed. The "theology" of Drosnin Some believers expectations
were raised from a
principle on this issue. They believed in a triumphalist
of human evolution. Combining this with the Bible code, just a kind of biblical
ufology by suggesting that "after the" miracles "of the Old Testament, hides adv
anced technology." (8 / 91). It also brings up that the Bible would be a kind of
electronic message that even extraterrestrial revelations to Abraham or Moses w
ould be "close encounters" (8 / 92). As we saw, he claims that Drosnin that, it
contains the future, the Bible-coded (not the Bible current) would be the Book o
f Life. But Drosnin goes further, linking with the reference of the book of Dani
el to a sealed book (Chapter 12), which also appears in Revelation (chapters 5 t
o 8), concluded that the sealed book is also the Bible itself (8 / 85) ...: The
Bible code is the "sealed book" secret. (8 / 94). Later, in another array, Drosn
in found that some of the text of Daniel 12, which speaks of the "sealed book" i
s the date 1997 ... But what is playing Drosnin? Revelation clearly states that
the sealed book will be opened by the Messiah, the Lamb who is worthy of it (cha
pters 5, 6, 8). Who do you think this guy? Drosnin Is the Messiah? In light of a
ll this nonsense, we must not forget what the Torah teaches reading it right. Th
at "prophet" who teach other gods, even if you are advertising miracles and fulf
illed, not to be heard (Deu. 13:1-5). But is that really the fulfillment of the
prophecies of Drosnin? A simple way to discover the deception of the "Bible code
": Do it yourself! There are numerous objections that have been made to the "Bib
le code" not only presented by Drosnin in his book, but the group's original wor
k
that the crowds that were going to dump to Christianity ... (Those who were Jews
to Judaism): A fatal blow given to biblical criticism and atheism. This could l
ead to millions of men to faith. That is why until now disseminate these things
with care. We prepare the country's elite, to turn it prepare people psychologic
ally to accept the consequences that result from our findings. [...]. (Interview
with a "spokesman for Israeli scientists" identified as MG 13/12). The reality
has nothing to do with it. Drosnin, author of the most widely distributed book o
n the subject, displays his religious skepticism. The only thing I think now is
a fabulous existence in the Bible code, but has no interest in the God of the Bi
ble (8 / 97). According to Drosnin, Rips believes that God is the explanation of
everything, but he prefers other reasons. For example, scientist Carl Sagan's s
peculations about extraterrestrial civilizations and the novel by Arthur C. Clar
ke, 2001 (which became a famous film), presenting the appearance of a mysterious
black monolith at critical times
Seuthes of Witztum, including spelling and character selection experiment of Wit
ztum. But he also noted that the Hebrew text of the Old Testament (including the
Torah) is not as accurate as is often pretend. Professor Menachem Cohen points
out that there are many variations that, while often spelling and do not affect
the readability of the text, they do affect the number of letters and other char
acteristics involved in these experiments (14). As we shall see, different peopl
e have turned to the fantastic contrast Drosnin claims (and even the original Wi
tztum group). This has given rise to heated debate, especially over the Internet
 can be followed (12, 14, 15). However, here we present a simple way to consider
the "Bible code" without recourse to the computer, or the full original text, e
tc. We analyze to the end, with a simple pencil, Drosnin matrices. His book open
s with the matrix announcing the assassination of Rabin. Soon after, Drosnin fou
nd the prediction of the election of Netanyahu as prime minister. Unfortunately,
the matrix also announced his murder. Everything seemed to combine to indicate
that on September 13, 1996, would trigger a nuclear war in the Middle East, whic
h would spark the end of the world. Tension is increasing throughout the book un
til the climax occurs when Netanyahu announced a trip to Amman,€to meet with Ki
ng Hussein of Jordan. Reviewing the matrix which spoke of Netanyahu, Drosnin fou
nd the word "July to Amman": Once again, the Bible code had proved to be right.
Three thousand years ago had expected in July 1996, Netanyahu would go to Amman.
If the code was right with it, if she was accurate to the smallest detail, then
it was most probably also correct about the predicted "nuclear holocaust", the
"holocaust of Israel 'and' world war '. The danger is looming more and more. So
at the last moment, Netanyahu's trip had an unexpected delay. The night before t
he Israeli leader left for Amman, King Hussein was ill. The prime minister went
to Jordan until 5 August. Was he wrong code in the Bible? The "Prime Minister Ne
tanyahu" was "to Amman" as was announced for three thousand years, but not in 'J
uly' as the source claimed. I went to see Eli Rips. I asked if the code could ac
t as quantum physics. If so, would not be able to specify both the what and when
. The uncertainty principle makes it clear: The more precisely you measure what,
may be measured less precisely when. That is the reason why quantum mechanics p
redicts not one but many possible futures. Rips did not invoke the uncertainty p
rinciple. Instead, he said the word appearing in the Bible code just above the "
July to Amman". The word was "postponed." (8 / 150). Dominates with some skill D
rosnin literary technique. Enter your exposure slowly and shortly before the end
, when it has created an intriguing climax of all, launching the cold water. The
astonished reader hardly believe it. After 150 pages is it all a story? No, it
makes no sense. Thus, Drosnin can get the reader to swallow the rest of their fa
ntastic code. Found the magic word "postponed" (%%:), now appears that these thr
ee Hebrew consonants intercept all the prophecies of death found in the matrix a
nnouncing the murder of Netanyahu. The postponement of the trip would have chang
ed the future Netanyahu and no murder occurred in August and not the war. To exp
lain this chain of causes, we refer, of course, to chaos theory and the "butterf
ly effect" ... Cleverly, Drosnin had already introduced a principle of ambiguity
, well before sliding the question: "Do what you will change?". The examples in
this new sense "ambiguous" Bible code multiply in the final pages of the book, w
hich had begun with such precision. Thus, the book closes with a final fireworks
in the middle of the ambiguity about the future (first decade of the third mill
ennium), to announcing the end in a final matrix: in vertical "atomic holocaust"
horizontal " at the end of days "and" save code. " At this point no surprise an
innocent question Would Drosnin fetched in the array to locate the word "postpo
ned" actually has occurred Netanyahu's murder? It is difficult to answer this qu
estion, but maybe we can answer another: What would have happened not to be kill
ed Rabin? So, using the same method used by Drosnin Witztum (which could baptize
here, a
5
6 both baroque, such as sauteed multidirectional reading), I conducted a visual
search array on the front page announcing the death of Rabin. Y. .., in fact, th
ere is also the word "postponed" (%%:), at least 11 times (three of them across
the name of the murderer, Amir!), Ready to be put forward in case of failure pro
phecy (Fig. 1). Falling into account how easy it was to reverse a prophecy, I ha
ve reviewed several other matrices. It is not difficult to find the word "delaye
d" in other matrices (which predicted the fall of Russian communism, Roosevelt's
order to introduce to the U.S. in World War II, etc.)..
Deepening my curiosity, I realized that
Collection of articles direct Fig. 2). Two things jump here to view. On the one
hand, the peculiar translation "murderer who will murder" is clearly forced. The
text speaks of "murderers", but ordinary people who kill by accident. Moreover,
this text uses legal language and so on using a case mix that translates well i
n Spanish by a subjunctive: "to kill" (16/159) or "killed" (Fig. 2, 17/742) , no
t an indication "that kill" ("or assassinate.") Secondly, the complete dismantli
ng of Drosnin interpretation, because it is clear that Rabin's murderer did not
kill him "by accident, having not previously had an aversion." If Drosnin contin
ue translating the text, would be absurd.€But it does not and it is as if the o
ther letters do not say anything. However, the rest of the matrix opposite said
that Drosnin. It is clear that one thing is to find objectively isolated words a
nd the context is otherwise imposed on them, which is always subjective. Harold
Gans himself gives a clear example, find the words Jesus and Messiah together (w
hat else could be more disturbing an orthodox Jew?) Does not mean that Jesus is
the Messiah, would be: Jesus think he is the Messiah, or many people believe tha
t Jesus is the Messiah, and so on. (11). Similarly, "Yitzhak Rabin" and "Murdere
r to kill" may mean: "Murderer to assassinate Yitzhak Rabin" or "Itzhak Rabin mu
rderer who will assassinate" among other options (11). In view of this, it is no
t surprising that the very Witztum, Rips and Gans have publicly disassociated Dr
osnin's book (11). Also on the false prophets in Deuteronomy makes it clear (Deu
. 18:21, 22) ... Bible code that appears everywhere, in fact, Drosnin released b
y the idea that mathematicians around the world are in accordance with these ide
as (8 / 43), is a grotesque mockery. It stresses in particular, McKay's team (th
e computer department of the Australian National University), with the mathemati
cian in Jerusalem Dror
matrices only look like puzzles in which we perceive not only the naked eye can
form words, but we can not see ever not knowing the language. For a reader, only
highlights of those letters which marked Drosnin and it is as if the rest did n
ot say anything. But if, vertical and diagonal is difficult to find something co
herent, horizontally have the original text of the Bible, in which all the lines
can be read at all says something. With this in mind, let us return to the womb
of the cover. In vertical read the name of Yitzhak Rabin and horizontal "murder
er who will assassinate." What does it say next?. Horizontally we have a biblica
l text What? Drosnin kindly indicated to us is Deu. 4:42 (8 / 215): to flee ther
e the murderer who kills his neighbor by accident, having not previously had an
aversion. Fleeing to any of these cities, you can save your life. (16/159). The
context refers to the institution by Moses in three cities of refuge, that the p
erson who had accidentally killed another, might flee and be safe from the venge
ance of the relatives of the victim. If we read to the left of "murderer to kill
" (or "killer who kills") are "his neighbor by accident, without having previous
ly had an aversion" (see the translation
Figure 2 (detail of previous image, the Hebrew words are boxed and the translati
on, read from right to left, is taken from 17/742, 743).
Seuthes Bar-Natan, repeated the experiment of Witztum, reaching opposite conclus
ions (14/Report on new ELS tests of Torah, 20-V-97). Since then, it has sparked
a fierce controversy that can be followed on the Internet (12, 14). This controv
ersy has intensified even further by introducing the team McKay similar phenomen
a to which the Witztum group stated in the Torah, the Hebrew text of the novel W
ar and Peace
(Messianic references to Jesus, famous rabbis, etc..) And
7 the time Mt. 21:42-44 (Mark 12:10, 11 and Luc. 20:17, 18). In conclusion, the
scientific validity of these speculations is approximately equal to zero. If som
eone wants to use as a basis for an apologetics aimed at scientific and cultivat
ed minds, can not go more misguided. But beyond that, what kind of "apologetics"
is it? Is it reasonable to believe that we can prove God? Is God the end result
of a mathematical equation? Can we have God like a monkey trained and whistling
 to lean out to greet the door? Can we have the Creator of the universe "in the
boat? It is unwise for Christians to risk that way. When you use such methods, w
e risk to end up preaching "another gospel." The apologetic and false paths expl
ored enough to afford more and stop relying on quick fixes which may end up bein
g a pseudoscience more. Any Christian apologetics must be based on more rigorous
methods. REFERENCES: (references in the text, behind

English in Moby Dick (references to famous murders including the announcement of
the murder of Drosnin himself!). But there's more, the biblical text itself, wh
en applied the method of Witztum, may end up saying anything we want, orders for
drugs, incest, etc., According to the actual Witztum,€he claims to have found
an array predicting the assassination of Churchill (11)! Conclusions
In view of this whole sad story has to be done
A first important remark: it is not possible to know word for word the original
text of the Bible. Therefore, all methods that are based on numerology to count
the letters or words in the text does not make sense. More serious is the concep
t of "inspiration", which is behind this: a mechanical dictation, in which God i
mposed the words one by one, until his spelling, reaching a "spelling inspired."
Third, the Kabbalistic interpretation of the Bible is an elitist system that fo
cuses and occultist, not the Bible study, but its use for all kinds of speculati
ons. As we have seen, this has nothing to do with Christ and his teachings to th
e people directly, without intermediaries. Jesus and Jewish leaders denounced, w
hich stood interpreters of the Torah with which manipulated to invalidate tradit
ion (Matthew 15:3-9 and Mark 7:613). Jewish tradition did not listen to Jesus an
d continued to stand between the Torah and the people. In the Kabbalah, the trad
ition came to degenerate into a pagan religion more than anything else. It is cu
rious that those engaged in reading the Bible backwards, jumping, up, down or di
agonally, are finally no more nonsense and you lose what's important. A mathemat
icians and computer scientists dedicated to these activities, some of whose theo
ries are naively, they never add up as the words of Jesus to the leaders
