EZEKIEL 33:6 But if the watchman see the sword come,
and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned;
if the sword come, and take any person from among them,
he is taken away in his iniquity;
but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand.

There are three verses in the Bible that say not to add to the Holy Bible:
DEUTERONOMY 4:2 Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.
DEUTERONOMY 12:32 What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.
REVELATION 22:18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
Some Bible scholars take these verses to mean that there are no patterns
in the Holy Bible. While I fully respect the opinions of
these scholars, if you read the verses closely it says not to add to
or take away from the Word but it does not say anything at all about
finding what is already there from the beginning
hidden in plain sight in the Holy Bible. In fact God encourages us to
find these patterns:
PROVERBS 25:2 It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.
PSALM 119:130 The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.
DEUTERONOMY 29:29 The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.
DANIEL 2:22 He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him.
LUKE 12:2 For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.
LUKE 12:3 Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.
LUKE 8:17 For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.
EPHESIANS 1:9 Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:
EPHESIANS 3:5 Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;
COLOSSIANS 1:26 Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints:
God ensures us that his word has been kept intact:
MATTHEW 5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
Anyone who finds these patterns in scripture is led to these patterns by the Holy Spirit, not of our own accord:
ROMANS 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
Virtually all Bible scholars believe that the Torah, the first five
books of the Holy Bible, in its original Hebrew was breathed down from
God letter for letter. Many Bible scholars believe that the entire Old
Testament in Hebrew and the New Testament in Greek is from God letter for
letter. Some Bible scholars even believe that the King James Version is
directly inspired by God letter for letter.
Bible code is a little more tricky in that we should be careful not to
put to much
credence
in Bible code because words and phrases can be found
in any large group of words such as War and Peace, or even totally random
characters. What some believe makes Bible code unique is the sheer quantity and quality
of these finds. I will leave it to others to decide if Bible code is
significant but at least recognize that it can be very dangerous
to draw any conclusions. Even if one does not consider Bible code significant, it is
still interesting to see what words and phrases are found.
At least much of the Bible code one reads about is just by chance. Some say that
some of it is statistically significant in that it could not possibly
happened by chance and in many cases could not even have been designed
by human hands. Others believe that Bible code is adding to the Bible and
therefore should be avoided because of Revelation 22:18. Personally I believe
that it is interesting as an art form.
One should never read anything into Bible code or draw any
conclusions from it, but rather, merely look at it as art.
I believe that Revelation 22:18 clearly says that no one should certainly
ever use Bible code to predict the future.
One could argue that the simpler Bible code could have been placed
there on purpose by the human authors and it can occur by chance as well.
Some may even be an
incredible coincidence. The Holy Bible is the inspired word of God so
whatever is in the Holy Bible, God intended it to be there.

It would be interesting to see a noted
mathmatician do the calculations and tell us what the actual probabilities
really are.
Patterns that are statistically significant are a different matter such
as is found in the
These are so statistically significant that they could not
possibly have occurred by chance and no mortal, even if they had the
full use of every super computer on earth, could have put all of these
patterns in Genesis 1:1.
One possible exclamation for God putting these patterns in
the Holy Bible knowing that one day we would find it is that in the last
days, God did not want the agnostics to have any excuse for
not believing in the Holy Bible. It is our deep responsibility as
Christians to tell as many agnostics as we possibly can
about these 37 primary patterns in Genesis 1:1 that cannot be explained
by any other method than by divine intervention.
I do not believe that there are any actual atheist. The ones who claim
they are are really agnostics and would be converted with proof.
A true atheist will not convert no matter how strong the evidence is,
but if there are no true atheists, then everyone can be converted by
proof. The patterns in Genesis 1:1 provide this indisputable proof.
