Re: Bible Code Predicted Rabin's Death
The first modern scientist, the man who figured out the mechanics of our solar system and discovered the
force of gravity,sir Isaac Newton, was certain that there was a hidden code in the bible that would reveal
the future. He learned Hebrew, and spent half his life trying to find it. In fact, it was for Newton , according to his biographer john Maynard Keynes, an obsession. When
Keynes became provost at Cambridge university , he discovered there the papers that Newton had packed up in 1696 when he retired as provost. Keynes was shocked.
Most of the million words in Newton 's own handwriting were not about mathematics or astronomy, but esoteric theology. They revealed that the great physicist believed there was hidden in the bible a prophecy of human history.
Newton, said Keynes, was certain the bible, indeed the whole universe, was a "cryptogram set by the
almighty," and wanted to "read the riddle of the godhead, the riddle of past and future events divinely
fore-ordained." Newton was still searching for the bible code when he died. But his lifetime quest failed no matter what mathematical model he applied.
Rips succeeded. The discovery that had eluded sir Isaac Newton was made by Eliyahu rips because he had the one essential tool thatNewton lacked—a computer. The hidden text of the bible was encoded with a kind of time-lock. It could not be opened until the computer had been invented.
"When I applied a computer, I made the breakthrough," rips explained. "I found words encoded far more than statistics allowed for by random chance, and I knew I was on to something of real importance."
