<\/a>There do seem to be examples of actual predictive prophecy in the Bible, mentioning specific nations, specific leaders and that sort of thing. But ancient Israel\u2019s prophets and honest readers of the Bible know something that, deep down, these people making claims of prophecy after the fact presumably know too. Real prediction<\/a> is risky<\/a>, because it often gets it wrong<\/a>. The genuine attempts at prediction in the Bible are no exception. And so it is no wonder that so many prefer the safer route, to start what they know and then (using whatever means necessary) find a way to claim that it was foreseen in some authoritative source or other.<\/p>\n At any rate, clearly the actual words of the Bible just aren\u2019t good enough for some people. So go ahead and read it as though it were a word puzzle<\/a>. But don\u2019t pretend this is showing any kind of respect for the Bible<\/a>.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.brandonstaggs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/els-bible-codes.thumbnail.png\")
<\/a>It is easy to start with current events and then \u201cfind\u201d them in the Bible, especially if you are willing to ignore the actual words of the Bible and instead skip to every nth letter until you find words and patterns. Go here<\/a> for more information. You won\u2019t understand the Bible better, but you may learn a few new banking and economics terms in modern Hebrew.<\/p>\n

<\/em>. Would that be proof of real magic? Does anyone have the patience to see if they can find such coded messages in my blog posts? Perhaps I\u2019m inspired in all sorts of ways I never realized!<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/tracker\/7622297540113836091-7108462090245277503?l=exploringourmatrix.blogspot.com\")
