Synopses & Reviews
For three thousand years a code in the Bible has remained hidden. Now it has been unlocked by computer -- and it may reveal our future.
The code was broken by an Israeli mathematician, who presented the proof in a major science journal, and it has been confirmed by famous mathematicians around the world.
This book is the first full account of a scientific discovery that may change the world, told by a skeptical secular reporter who became part of the story.
The three-thousand-year-old Bible code foretells events that happened thousands of years after the Bible was written. It foresaw both Kennedy assassinations, the Oklahoma City bombing, the election of Bill Clinton -- everything from World War II to Watergate, from the Holocaust to Hiroshima, from the Moon landing to the collision of a comet with Jupiter.
In a few dramatic cases detailed predictions were found in advance -- and the events then happened exactly as predicted. The date the Gulf War would begin was found weeks before the war started. The date of the Jupiter collision was found months before the blast.
The author of this book, investigative reporter Michael Drosnin, himself found the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin predicted in the Bible more than a year before the murder -- and personally warned the Prime Minister.
After the assassination happened, as predicted, when predicted, he was asked to brief the new Prime Minister of Israel and the chief of its famed intelligence agency, the Mossad.
The book is based on Drosnin's five-year investigation. The author interviewed all the experts, here and abroad. He spent many weeks with the world-class mathematician who discovered the code, Dr. Eliyahu Rips, and he met with famous mathematicians at Harvard, Yale, and Hebrew University. He talked to a senior code breaker at the top secret U.S. National Security Agency, who confirmed that there is a code in the Bible that does reveal the future.
No one yet knows if the Bible code accurately foretells what is yet to come. But the code may be a warning to this world of unprecedented danger, perhaps the real Apocalypse, a nuclear World War.
In any event, the Bible code forces us to accept what the Bible itself can only ask us to believe -- that we are not alone.
And it raises a question for us all -- does the code describe an inevitable future, or a series of possible futures whose ultimate outcome we can still decide?

Synopsis
Hailed by the Los Angeles Times as "a certifiable phenomenon...(that) abounds with stunning predictions", this meticulously documented New York Times bestseller explains the mathematical letter-code system embedded in the words of the Bible.
For 3,000 years, a code in the Bible remained hidden. Now it has been unlocked by an Israeli mathematician and confirmed by scholars and code-breakers around the world.
Based on the four-year investigation of Michael Drosnin, a secular -- and highly skeptical -- journalist, this controversial book explores thousands of events predicted in the Bible, including both Kennedy assassinations, the moon landing, the Oklahoma City bombing, and the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin -- an event Drosnin attempted to thwart after it was revealed by the code.
Hotly debated and reviewed in major publications worldwide, The Bible Code raises a vital question -- does the code describe an inevitable future, or a series of possible futures whose ultimate outcome we can still decide?
"What a treasure trove of secrets....The impact of such a find seems cosmic". -- The Atlanta Constitution
"Fascinating...(raises) the timeless question of destiny versus free will inherent in any Bible discussion". -- San Francisco Chronicle
