                                   will upset a number of preconceived ideas about the Bible.

                                                         By J.  Thobois

     On his way back from Israel where he met the
     spokesperson for the Israeli scientists, our colleague Pastor
     Jean-Marc Thobois answered our questions and explains
     the extraordinary nature of the discoveries.

  During your last trip to Israel you had access to some documents and
information held secret even now.  The spokesperson for the eight scientists
that have worked together for years gave you enough information and proof
so that the substance of the conclusions of this in-depth research was made
clear to you.  These discoveries are so extraordinary that they will upset not
only Judaism but also Christianity and will cause the world to consider like
never before belief in God and in His Word: the Bible.

     Before explaining how you had access to these sources and what
these discoveries are, could you tell us in a few lines what the consequences
will be when this research is made public?

"First of all I will quote the spokesman for the eight Israeli scientists, Mr
Moshe Grylak of the Bar Ilan University in Tel-Aviv, who told me word for
word as follows: "It is the death blow to Bible criticism and atheism."

     It is in fact a indisputable mathematical demonstration using
computers.  The whole of this preliminary research that has been
accomplished has been verified by one of the greatest mathematicians of the
world, a specialist in four mathematical disciplines, professor Hips of
Harvard University in the United States.  The latter who is not Jewish and
a stranger to the work of the Israeli team, spent several weeks in Israel to
verify the work of the Israelis.  He was so shaken by the extent of this
discovery that he returned to the United States with the file, so that he could
share it with another of his mathematician colleagues in order to get a contrasting opinion.  At this point, the last checks have taken
place.  Mr Grylak told us a few days ago, over the  phone, that the results
were so far reaching that no doubt no other checks were needed and that
the publication of these results would now be able to begin.

     The stakes are tremendous: it is the irrefutable mathematical proof
that the Bible is true.
     It is the mathematical confirmation of what Jesus said when he
declared in Matthew 5 verse 19: "In truth I tell you: until the heavens and
earth pass away, not one iota will be taken away from the law, before all this
has been accomplished".  The work of the Israelis has in fact proved the
accuracy of the Biblical text as it has been passed on down to us down to the
last letter.

     Finally in practical terms, Jesus draws conclusions: "this is why he
who removes one of the smallest of these commandments and teaches men
to do likewise will be called the smallest in the kingdom of heaven; but for
those who put them into practice and teaches them will be called great in the
kingdom of heaven".

     For all believers and especially for all currants of theological thought
that have doubted the authority of the scripture, these discoveries completely
call into question the present drift that causes a number of them to relativise
Bible affirmations.

     For Israel this discovery will inevitably show that Jesus is the
Messiah.

     For the world at large, the authority of the Bible will no longer be 
able to be ignored, especially when the third part of this work has been 
published, and about which I am no authorised to speak: it will bring
revelations so extraordinary that they will turn the world upside down."

  My second question is more of an anecdotal in nature.  Before discovering
this information and the proofs that you have bought back with you following
this investigation, it is useful to underline how you were providentially bought
into contact with these sources of information?

     "I had heard of this work through the Israeli ambassador.  As a
believer, it had greatly interested me and I decided to spend the majority of
my yearly trip to Israel on this project.     I didn't expect to have any particular difficulty, having received all
the necessary referrals from the embassy.

     However a few weeks prior to my trip something unusual took place. 
An infant teacher, a member of our church in Vannes, was coming back
from one of those islands in the gulf of Morbihan in Brittany at the end of
the tourist season.  Suddenly, amongst the crowd of tourists that were
pushing onto the boat, she heard three young people speaking in Hebrew. 
Surprised, she spoke to them, saying: "are you not Israelis?"
       Yes." they replied!

     And so the same evening, I was talking with these three young
Israelis, students at Bar-Ilan University, one of the two Universities that are
working on the question of the mathematical structure in the Bible.  I
therefore asked them if they had not heard of this research: "of course, they
replied, and if it is of interest to you, we can help you meet the researchers
who are working on this project."

     Thinking that this would duplicate the link I had from the embassy,
I thanked them politely, and asked them to gather up what had already been
published for me.  That was how we agreed to meet again when I had arrived
in Israel.

     Alas!  Several weeks later, once in Israel, I called one of the young
people called Raanan, and he declared that all their investigations had run
into an absolute secrecy, and that until the Israeli scientists finished their
work all interviews with the press would be refused, and especially not to
foreign press.  They were even opposed to having any of their work or
writings published at all, so much so that Raanan had not been able to
uncover anything.

     Surprised and intrigued, I asked him then to arrange on an
exceptional basis a meeting with professor Moshe Katz, on of the main
researchers that he knew.  A few days later, having met professor Kats,
Raanan  phoned me to say that after many hesitations professor Kats had
finally agreed to meet me under the conditional agreement of his seven other
colleagues.  A few days later, the reply of the other members of the team
reached me: negative.  We were once again where we had started.

     Raanan then called me to say that he had another idea: his mother
a Bible professor in a lay secondary school, knew the spokesmanof the group of scientists personally Mr Moshe Grylak.  She had gone to
several seminars that he had organised.  She offered to get a meeting with
him organised for me.  A few days later, Raanan gave me Mr Grylak s
approval.

     I then realised how my meeting with Raanan had been providential,
because I had known nothing of all the secrecy surrounding the work of the
Israeli team and it continued to surprise me.  But I wasn t at the end of my
trouble!  The day before the meeting, I went to Raanan s house: "so it s all
arranged!" I exclaimed.

       Not at all, he told me!  Mr Grylak has agreed to meet you, but he
is not at all sure if you can be authorised to write on the subject.!"

     I spoke until the wee hours of the morning with Raanan s mother
who questioned me and seemed surprised by the answers that I, a non-Jew,
gave her.

     The next day, we left all three for the meeting.  Unfortunately in the
dense Tel-Aviv traffic, we couldn t find a parking place for the car.  Raanan s
mother determined to go up to Mr Grylak s house to apologise for us and
plead with him to wait until we found a car park.

     A quarter of an hour later, Raanan and I, arrived at last to find  his
mother and Mr Grylak having a tremendous discussion on my account;
however this discussion had removed all remaining doubt concerning me by
the professor, so much so that I found a man marvellously disposed to
furnish me with the documents that I had vainly attempted to get.  He also
undertook to explain the basis of the research, going as far as to give me
some stupefying proofs of the third stage of the research.  It was without
difficulty that he gave me permission to publish these things with care at my
own discretion (except for the third stage of research), whilst Raanan was
denied even any cursory note taking.  When Raanan explained briefly how
we had been providentially brought together by chance, he declared: "there
is no  chance."

       What are the reasons that have brought the Israeli researchers to
surround their work with so much secrecy?  When will they make the results
of their work known?

     "It is because of the tremendous stakes.  We are not dealing witha purely academic work here but the conclusions of this research will put so
many things into question, not only those directly concerned with spiritual
reality, but all aspects of life.  If these things are true, they have such great
implications for humanity that it is not possible to reveal them before being
absolutely sure of the authenticity of the results.

     "That is why we had professor Hips who is one of the greatest
mathematicians in the world come over, told us Mr Grylak, so that when I
speak about these things to either Jews or non-Jews, I want to be one
hundred per cent sure of my conclusions and have at my disposal irrefutable
mathematical proofs.  Then, everyone can say whatever they like, but each
person will know that it is as true as two plus two make four."  Mr Grylak
told us these things last November.  In the meantime professor Hips has
finished his work, confirming on every point the work of his Jewish
colleagues.  The ultimate verification by a mathematician friend of professor
Hips has also taken place.  The results are absolutely far reaching.  The
publication will be start initially in orthodox Jewish journals giving way to
restricted seminars grouping teachers, political personalities, officers etc ... 
Wise and progressive preparation is needed  for the publication of the
findings.

                                                       Some general notes

     It is important to remind the reader that the Bible is written in
Hebrew as for the Old Testament and in Greek for the New.  In both Greek
and Hebrew, each letter of the alphabet is also a number, which  means that
in addition to the straightforward reading which gives us words and
sentences there is also a second mathematical reading that is obtained from
the value of the letters.

     Let s take for example the letter B (in Hebrew Beth); the latter also
means number 2.

     The letter M (in Hebrew Mem) also means 40.

     Let s take a complete word, for example the name of God in Hebrew
YHWH.    The addition of the numerical value of these letters is broken down as
follows:


 
Y=
                                                                                                                            10
                                                                                                                              
                                                                                                                              
 
H=
                                                                                                                             5
                                                                                                                              
                                                                                                                              
 
W=
                                                                                                                             6
                                                                                                                              
                                                                                                                              
 
H=
                                                                                                                             5

     This basic information made clear, it is now possible to understand
there exists in the Biblical text a mathematical structure that is made evident
when one take the trouble to look for it.

     Proceeding in this way, one goes from discovery to discovery, from
wonder to wonder.

     The first numerical structures that appear are also stupefying.  But
more the study progresses, other aspects, other structures, other
mathematical laws are revealed, the whole forming a perfection and a
complexity that no human brain could have conceived.  Only the most
sophisticated computers have been able to sound the depths, which shows
even now that no human brain could have conceived such a work of art.  If
only the most sophisticated computers can decipher, how much more
impossible would it have been to establish the structure thousands of years
ago.  It seems more likely that men that God inspired were not even aware
of the extraordinary and complex numerical architecture that they were
transmitting.

     And this is true for all the authors who have written books of the
bible over periods of centuries ...

                                               A few aspects of this extraordinary
                                                    numerical architecture.

     We can not, of course, within the framework of this article
expound the years of research, but by quoting a few examples and
revealing some of the laws discovered, we can clarify enough so that the
reader is fully convinced.

     One notices that the numerical structure of the Bible is mainly
based on the number 7 or multiples of 7, very much like what we observe
in nature.  Seven is in fact the number of divine perfection and the
number of the relationships with the created world.  It is the divine
signature in the world events, the sign of the spiritual world, and that is
why the story of creation for example, in its numerical structure, is
crawling with phenomena of this type.

     So it is that in the literary unity (that is a text that makes up a
whole) that is represented by Genesis chapter 1, verses 1 to 31 and
chapter 2, verses 1 to 3, the name of God (Elohim) appears 35 times
which is 7 X 5.  The text is divided into seven paragraphs corresponding
to the seven days of the week of creation.  In each paragraph the
important words are used seven times.  Therefore, when 
light is created, this word, with its variants, appears 7 times; it is the
same for the fourth day, with the creation of the heavenly lights.

     In the second and sixth paragraphs the word "water"  appears 7
times.

     Still in the second paragraph the word "sky" appears 7 times as
well as in the fourth paragraph.

     In the whole of the text, the word "earth" appears 21 times which
is 3 X 7.

     In the fifth and sixth paragraphs the word "animal" appears 7
times.
 

     The first verse in Hebrew seven words of 28 letters which is 4 X 7,
the second verse has 14 words which is 2 X 7.

     The end of the text on the Sabbath comprises 35 words: 5 X 7 (as
many times as the name of God appears in the whole of the story of
creation).

     In the last paragraph there are three sentences of 7 words where
occurs the thought that God blessed the seventh day.

     One can reveal in this text many other phenomena of this type of
which the enumeration would be fastidious, but these   phenomena
form a veritable interlock, and it is clear from this listing that there is a
real mathematical harmony that links all parts of the text together.

     What is true for Genesis is true for the entire Bible and in all the
texts.

     The Israeli scientists have deduced three laws:
In each text comprising a whole the name of the principal person in the
story or the important subject of the account appears 7 times or in a
multiple of 7.

     When the necessities of the text require that these names be
mentioned more than seven times, the Bible changes words, grammatical
form, or style in order to respect the "law of seven".

     The "law of seven" concerns not only words but also entire
sentences.  This explains the changes in style in the Bible.

     These laws cover the whole of the Pentateuch in particular and
show its unity.

     Let s take a few examples:    In the account of the flood, the
principal theme is the revolt of humanity against God, which the Bible
sums up by the expression "ALL FLESH" which is then the important
word.          

     The other theme of the account is the salvation of Noah and his
family by the ark.  The second important word is then the word "ARK".     One notes then that the expression "ALL FLESH" appears 7 times
and the word "ARK" 14 times (2 X 7) as soon as the latter begins to play
an active role in the story (that is when the Bible declares: "then the
floodgates of the heavens were opened" Genesis ch.  7 v 11).

     In addition from the verse which says: "God remembered Noah
and all the animals that were with him in the ark" that is to say when the
flood waters began to subside, the expression "out of the ark" appears 7
times, as well as the word "earth" which is the important word as the main
theme of the passage is the appearing of the dry land.

                                                Third example: Abraham in Israel

     In Genesis chapter 12, verses 1 to 18 the important theme of the
passage is "Abraham" hero of the account and the "country" towards
which God is leading him.  The country is mentioned seven times and
Abraham 21 times (= 3 X 7).The same thing in the story of the Abraham s
descent into Egypt.

     Let s also quote two other examples easily verified even in English
Bibles because they are short texts: the meeting between Abraham and
Abimelech in Genesis chapter 21 and verses 22 to 34: Abraham is
mentioned 7 times and Abimelech 7 times.  The same for Moses and
Amalek in Exodus chapter 17, verses 8 to 16, Moses appears 7 times and
Amalek 7 times.          These laws also link together a number of texts together;
for example: the three first chapters of Genesis where the words "garden"
appears 7 times over the whole of the three chapters.

     There are also an number of interlinks of structures of seven
within the texts: example in Numbers 33, 34 and 35 which is at the end of
the book of Numbers, and one finds: 42 times the expression "they left"
and 42 times "they camped" which is 6 X 7.

     7 references to important exodus events
     7 times the word "country"
     7 times the word "Jordan"
     7 times the word "heritage"
     7 times the word "possess"
     7 times the divine name
     7 times the expression "sons of Israel"
     7 times the word "sea"
     7 times the word "frontiers"
     7 times the word "tribes"
     7 times the word "city"
     7 names of Levitical cities
     7 times the word "blood"
          14 times the word "murderer"
     7 times the expression "death to the murderer"
     7 times the word "judgement"
     etc ...

     These laws also play on the number of letters within a verse or
even of a complete passage: so in Genesis chapter 1, verses 2 and 3 are
comprised of 35 words (5 X 7).

     The addition of words and letters in general gives in general a
multiple of 7 or a power of 7 or a number having a significance in the
Bible.

     Many other examples could be quoted but that is beyond the
framework of this document.  Let us just say that there is not one single
passage where these laws do not rule.

     Thus it is that the divine name which has a numerical value of 26
is quoted 1780 times in the Pentateuch (Torah) or 26 X 70, but we must
then confirm that we have here to do with a patent miracle because in order to respect the whole of these laws together in a deliberate
fashion, it would have taken much more than the life of one man.  If for
example the theory of the sources of the Pentateuch, according to which it
was written by four different authors in four different periods, prior to
being gathered together and harmonised after the exile, were correct, it
would have been necessary for the different authors who lived at different
times, confer with each other over the centuries   which is simply
unthinkable   and they would have been able to achieve such a work,
which is shown mathematically to be impossible.  The only logical
conclusion is that an supernatural mathematical intelligence
providentially led the authors of the Biblical text, to introduce the
numerical structure as they wrote, but things do not stop there!

     The law of seven rules in fact over complete sentences: for
example: the book of Exodus is divided into two parts: one before the
liberation from Egypt, from chapters 1 to 12 and another part after the
liberation from Egypt.  The expression "the Lord spoke to Moses and said
..." appears 42 times (6 X 7) in the whole of the book of Exodus, 21 times
(3 X 7) in the first chapters and 21 times in the rest.  Other examples of
this type show the unity of the Pentateuch contrary to what the theory of
sources claims.

     Mr Grylak declares on this subject: "I explained these things to
someone who was interested and suddenly he understood where it was
leading him.  So he cried out: anyone can find in the Bible what he wants! 
I told him: No!  On the philosophical plane you can think what you want,
one can imagine anything, but here this is a mathematical structure!  And
the truth is much deeper, this is only the superficial aspect of the
structure."

     One can in fact imagine a man trying to write the story of creation
so that the name of God appears 35 times, but as soon as you add the
requirement to mention as well 7 times the word sky, 7 times the word
water, light, without speaking of the number of words, of letters in the
same text that must be multiples of 7, without talking of the numerical
value of the words, the verses etc ... the difficulty is such that it exceeds
human possibilities.

     An attempt to write a text of this type was made whilst bearing in
mind only three words which had to appear seven times or a multiple of
seven: it took six months to write ten lines of text withsome coherence: we have there the indisputable proof of the inspiration of
the Bible.

     Up to now we have been like navigators who had looked at the
surface of the water.  Just such an observation teaches a myriad things
about an environment as rich as the marine environment.  But the sea is
not limited to the surface, and the marine environment also comprises
depths.  In order to access these depths, we need to go deeper and deeper
beneath the surface and there, another world appears to the wondering
eyes of the divers: that is what we will attempt to do: dive beneath the
surface of the mathematical structure of the Bible albeit superficially.

                                            A discovery made possible by the computer

     It is thanks to modern technology that it has been possible to
discover the numerical structure of the Bible which had already been
shown by men like Panin, Bulinger and the Jew Oscar Goldberg in the
last century, an even more complex structure.

     First we need to give a few words of explanation: even today the
Bible is copied by hand by Jewish scribes according to strict rules which
are described in the Talmud.  These rules imply the exactitude right down
to the form and size of letters: so that a Biblical text is declared impure if
only one letter is missing or if one has been added.  Rabbi Ishmael
declared to a scribe: "My son, be very careful in your work, because it is a
heavenly work, never omit a letter and never add a letter because they
contain the whole world."  According to these very strict rules, one has
been able to preserve the authentic text of the Bible from generation to
generation.  Certain liberal critics have doubted, but today the computer
has brought us an brilliant demonstration.
     So in certain sentences a same word can appear several times
with different spellings and that apparently without reason.  The scribes
respected these strange transformations.  However the computer has now
discovered why these things took place.  The computer can read the Bible
by what is called in Hebrew "letter jumps".  Words are constructed from
individual letters distant from each other and separated by a fixed
number of letters according to a frequency given initially by certain
criteria and called "codes".  For this reason it is necessary to ignore the
spaces between the words.  In fact an ancient Jewish tradition states that
Moses received the Torah fromGod without spaces between the letters (similar to what is done in certain
ancient languages dating from the same period, for example in Egyptian
hieroglyphics).  So it is that there are a few different ways of reading the
Torah and it is only later that God told Moses to separate the words and
showed him where to insert the spaces.

     The codes (that is the frequency with which the letters occur in a
fixed order) allow discovery of words having un specific meaning and
linked to the central theme of the text so that sometimes they shine a new
light on the text.

     Among the codes most often used there is of course a code of 7,
and a code of 26 because it is the numerical value of the divine name,
and especially the code of 50.  50, is 7 X 7 + 1, but in the Bible it is the
number of liberation and hidden revelation.  There are in fact 50 days
between the exodus from Egypt and Passover, the day of Pentecost, that
the Jewish people received the revelation from God: the Torah (Pentateuch
or first five books of the Bible).

     It is also in the 50th year that took place the redemption of land
and the release of  slaves who could recover possession of their
belongings.  Thus the Talmud declares: "the only free man is the one who
takes up the yoke of the Torah".

                                                         The three laws

     Through the means of codes, a completely new world opens to our
eyes.

     There are three laws which have been uncovered by the work of
the Israeli scientists thanks to the computer:

       the name of the principal person or the principal event in the
text appears every 50 letters,

       the key words are always related to the text and enlighten the
text, 

       there are often interlinking of the code of 7 and the codes, the
letters and the words formed by the codes are often inserted into words
that obey the law of seven and are the names of the principal persons or
main events in the text.     
     So it is that if one takes the last letter of the first word in the Bible
"bereshit" (in the beginning) the letter that corresponds to the Latin letter
T, by a code of 50 one obtains the word "Torah".  It is the same for the
book of Exodus.  In contrast for the book of Leviticus we need to use
another code: the code of seven through which we obtain no longer the
word "Torah" but YHWH which is the divine name.  In the book of
Numbers and of Deuteronomy a code of 50 allows us to see reappear the
word "Torah" but this time backwards.  This phenomena disappears as
soon as one goes on to other books of the Bible (Joshua, Judges, etc ...) 
For the Torah is the Pentateuch.  However in the other books of the Bible
there are other coded words appearing in relationship with the aim of the
book.

                                                 The book of encounter with God

     In the Pentateuch all is as if the book of Leviticus is the centre of
the Pentateuch towards which the other books look.  Isn t Leviticus the
book of the meeting and communion with God?  But to access this
communion, one must pass through obedience to what God has revealed
in the other books of the Pentateuch.  All is as if there is a divine seal of
the authenticity of divine revelation.  The same phenomena is found in
many other passages.

     Let s look at a few examples:

     In the genealogy of Adam in Genesis chapter 5, a code of 50
enables us to discover 25 times the name of Seth and a code of 26
enables us to reveal it again another 3 times.  Using a code of 50 in the
same passage the name of Lemech appears also 25 times.  As for the
name of Enoch, a code of 86 reveals it 16 times.  It is the only place where
a code of 86 is used: it is the numerical value of the word "Elohim" (God). 
We know that it is written of Enoch that "Enoch walked with God".  Still in
the same text the name of Noah is revealed using a code of 26 and it
appears 29 times.  In Genesis chapter 7, the name of Yaphet is revealed
using a code of 26 sixteen times, whereas the name of Lot is revealed
using a code of 26 in Genesis chapter 19 and in Genesis chapter 31 nine
times and 25 times.

     These coded words often appear also within the very name of the
person in ordinary text within the passage.  Thus in Genesis chapter 4
verses 13 to 15, the first letter of the word Cain appears in the name of Cain written in verses 13 and following.

     The same is the case in Genesis chapter 49 verse 9 and 12. 
Jacob blesses each of his sons before his death.  In the blessing of Judah
the word Judah (in Hebrew the word Yehouda) appears with a code of 50
but each letter of the coded word is inserted in the different mentions of
Judah in the text which of course makes an additional complication for
the author of the text!

     In Genesis chapters 12 verses 11 to 20, the name of Sara
appears in a code of 7 fourteen times and that of Pharaoh in a code of 50
two times.

     In Genesis chapter 32 when Esau and Jacob meet, the name of
Esau appears in a code of 26 twenty one times and that of Dina 22 times. 
It is likely that this is what led the Jewish oral tradition to confirm that
Dina who was not quoted amongst her eleven brothers was hidden by
Jacob in the luggage (in verse 22 only eleven of the sons of Jacob are
quoted, whereas at this point Jacob had twelve children of which one
daughter Dina).

                                           A new dimension for the study of the Bible

     Another interesting example concerns Joseph s dreams in
Genesis chapter 37 verses 9 and 10.  The latter tells his father and
brothers that he has seen the sun, the moon, and eleven stars bow down
before him.  Jacob understands the meaning of the dream and declares:
"Must your mother, your brothers and me come and bow down before
you?"  However, at this time Rachel the mother of Joseph was dead. 
Jewish tradition has looked at this problem and has solved it in this way:
after the death of Rachel, her children Joseph and Benjamin were looked
after by Bilha, Jacob s servant who brought them up as if they were her
own children, so much so that Joseph considered her to be his mother;
Joseph s dream must therefore be about Bilha and not Rachel.  Within
this very same text, the names of both Rachel and Bilha appear in code ...
But there is more.  If one reads the Hebrew text without spacing between
the words, then this phrase appears: "Rachel dead Bilha".

     Another startling example concerns Leviticus chapter 23 verse 40
and following.  It is the ritual of the feast of Tabernacles that must be
celebrated with products of the land: "Choice fruit from the tree, palm fronds, leafy branches and poplars".  In this list two trees are not
specifically mentioned: these are the "Choice fruit" and "leafy branches". 
From all time, Jewish tradition had stated that the "Choice fruit tree" was
a type of lemon tree and the "leafy branches" a type of box tree (etrog and
loulav in Hebrew).  In fact the names of these two trees are coded into the
very text of Leviticus chapter 23.

     Let us now take genesis chapter 38: the story of Judah and
Tamar which deals with the question of the levirate, that is the order that
we find in Deuteronomy chapter 25 verses 5 to 10 the terms of which are
that the brother of a man who dies without child must marry his widow
and have a son from her who will be considered as an heir of the
deceased.  In this text we find in a code of 50 the word "levirate", the
name "Judah" and again the word "levirate" but with a code of 248, which
is the sum total of all the commandments in the Torah where God says
"You shall".  But things do not stop there.  In the same text, one finds the
names of Boaz and Ruth, Obed and Ishai and David himself.  That is
there is a very clear coded reference to the book of Ruth which tells the
story of the ancestors of King David and which also deals with the
question of levirate.  There are here very clear references to what was still
in the future for the author of the book of Genesis.  Still in the same
passage of Genesis chapter 38, using a code of 26 one finds the
expression "Ruth Torah" and "Torah Ruth".  In fact the book of Ruth is
closely linked with the Torah because it is the book that one reads on the
day of Pentecost (Passover) which is the gift of the Torah.

                                                       A unique phenomena

     It is therefore a new dimension of Bible study that is brought to
light, where one can discover mathematical certainty.  In this century of
eery technological development but also of spiritual decline, God has
allowed this discovery using the most sophisticated instruments of
modern technology.  The question of codes is therefore woven into the
entire Bible and is a unique supernatural phenomena.

     The Israeli scientists have in fact attempted to submit other
Hebrew texts to the same test, and in particular works of contemporary
Jewish writers Bialik and Agnon written in modern Hebrew.

     Using the substantial codes (from the order of severalhundreds up to several thousands letters, whereas for the Bible the codes
are of a few dozen letters and a few units) one can find words coded but
contrary to what takes place in the Bible, these words have no
relationship with the text.  The text of the Bible, uses very small codes and
the words coded are always in relationship with the actual text.

                                        Such a mathematical structure can only be divine

     It is necessary to say that the law of seven and the codes are
combined within the same text.

     Let us take chapter one of Leviticus which speaks about the
sacrifices.  In this text the name of Aaron which appears no where except
in the expression "sons of Aaron".

     We have in this text a number of examples of the law of seven
that are truly linked together.  The name of God appears 7 times, the
word "sacrifice" 7 times, the word "sin" 7 times, 7 priestly actions are
quoted relating to the sacrifices, 7 words relating to the victims of the
sacrifice etc ... But in addition, in the same text, one finds revealed by
various codes 25 times the name of Aaron.  The Israeli scientists put the
entire text to the computer and calculated the chances of the name of
Aaron appearing according to the fixed codes.  The reply was 5 to 9 times
on the condition of changing the order of the letters: for example there
were five possibilities of revealing the name of Aaron in the standard order
of the letters AARON.  In contrast the probability passed to 8 times if the
order was reversed as AHNR or ARHN and 9 times under the form ARNH
etc ... But when the computer calculated the probability of finding the
name of Aaron in the normal order of the letters AHRN the answer was
one in a million.  But the fact is that the name of Aaron appears 25 times
in the normal order of the letters, makes us conclude logically that this is
a miracle.  We also know that in the same text using a code of 7 one finds
the divine name interlocked with the name of Aaron, and the interlinking
of these two codes is in addition to the law of seven showing a clear
mathematical structure such that it can only be divine.  The same
demonstration can be made with other texts.     Still using the same text of Leviticus chapter 1, the Israeli
scientists have made other tests: they have tried to remove one letter (that
which corresponds to the letter L).  The entire system is falsified, and the
same is true if one tries to add one single letter.

     The researchers then took the text of the Samaritan Pentateuch
which is written in old Hebrew but with a few variants; and there too it
was impossible to find the same studied phenomena in their entirety,
because in order to function the code system must be precise down to the
letter.  It is the same if one modifies even a little the order of the letters,
albeit without removing any or adding any.  For the system to work each
letter must be in its place.

                                                   The human brain overwhelmed

     The conclusion that is necessary is clear: the phenomena of the
codes is miraculous, it is an internal proof of the inspiration of the Bible. 
To the interlinking of codes and the series of sevens one needs to add the
third part which has not yet been revealed and which is much more
complex and which is in addition to the two first phenomena.  This third
part will only be revealed by the computer which the sacred authors did
not have in their time!

     To write such a text taking into account all these data goes
beyond the framework of human existence and goes beyond the human
brain.  In all the Bible one finds the same phenomena, which is possible
to verify with the computer.  For this structure to be other than divine, it
would have been necessary for these rules to have been adhered to from
generation to generation of men who wrote the Bible.  It would have been
necessary for each writer to be a super mathematical genius and he
would have had to take into account not only the work of his predecessors
but also that of those who came after him until the Biblical canon was
closed, and that of course is impossible.

     The conclusion of what results is that we have to do with a text
which is exact down to the least letter according to what Jesus said
(Gospel of Matthew chapter 5 verses 17 and 20), and this signifies that
the phenomena of Biblical inspiration goes much further than what many
believed.  "All Scripture is inspired" says Paul to Timothy, and this even
more so as there are other things which cannot be revealed here but
which are even more deeply moving without doubt.     Must one be astonished at these things?  Already in nature, the
wonders of the human body to speak only about it, show us the concern
for perfection that the creator has for the slightest detail!  Not to speak of
the complexity of physical and biological laws!  The psalmist didn t he say:
"Your laws endure to this day for all things serve you" (Psalm chapter 119
verse :91 New International Version: NIV).

     So several spiritual conclusions result from these discoveries:

     The authority of the Bible as to man s eternal destiny, the
redemption of Christ, is confirmed; but the same goes for the Biblical
teachings on points that seem smaller but that also have their
importance.  If God judged it useful to reveal these things to men, (such
as for example the vocation of men and women, specific down to minor
details such as that of the veil or long hair for women) nothing is left to
chance.

                                                    Nothing is left to chance

     If "all scripture is inspired", then the smallest commandments
have their importance as declares Jesus, but the promises declared in
Holy Scripture also gain a singular authority and a greater degree of
certainty and those who proclaim them and who claim them will have
renewed assurance.

     Finally, it is clear that God conducts the lives of those who
confide in him down to the smallest details and the believer can therefore
advance with confidence and assurance on the path that God places
before him knowing that for those who trust him nothing is left to chance. 
Psalm 32 verse 8 declares on this subject: "I will instruct you and teach
you in the way you should go; I will counsel you and watch over you" (NIV)
     
     In face of such discoveries, one cannot remain neutral, if really
these things are so and they are!  It is indisputable, and one must draw
conclusions: turn to Jesus, believe in his word, reform our ways and
deeds in the light of this word, take it for a guideline and support, or like
the Pharaoh of Egypt, harden one s heart and deny the evidence until the
day when before God each of us will be accountable.  Such an attitude
would be bad faith, culpable and dangerous in the light of what the Bible
declares concerning rebels and the final destiny for them.

     For those who believe, on the contrary God declares: "Call to me
and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do
not know."  (Jeremiah 33 verse 3 NIV).

     Do we not live in times forecast by the angel to Daniel: "But you
Daniel close up and seal the words of the scroll until the time of the end. 
Many will go here and there and to increase knowledge."  (Daniel chapter
12 verse 4 NIV) and that the Lord Jesus himself confirmed to John in
Revelation: "Blessed is the one who reads the word of this prophecy, and
blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it
because the time is near!"  (Revelation chapter 1 verse 3).

     It is clear and it will be for all those who know these things and
who are intellectually honest, that the word of Peter is demonstrated: "We
did not follow cleverly invented stories when we were told about the power
and the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ but we were eye-witnesses of his
majesty" (2 Peter ch 1 v 16 NIV).

     ... and we have heard the word of the prophets made more
certain, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light shining in
a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your
hearts.  Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture
came about by the prophet s own interpretation.  For prophecy never had
its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried
along by the Holy Spirit."  (2 Peter chapter 1 verses 19 to 21 NIV).

     Yes, as said Jesus, YOUR WORD IS TRUTH."
                                                                                                              

The third part of this of these discoveries is even more moving than the
first: it has to do with the extraordinary prophetic passages throughout
the Bible.  History allows us to even now proceed to many verifications. 
This third part of the Bible research has to do with the History of
Humanity.
                                                             THE END
