Maybe you are aware of it, but many believe that by putting all of the words of the Hebrew Bible end to end (otherwise known as the Torah), and then searching for patterns in these words, mysterious things will come to light. This is generally done with the aid of a computer program, which is able to mathematically search for these patterns once the subject is entered. This apparently works for historical figures but most of all is being used by people to anticipate events in the coming 'end times'. Quite a lot of these are seen as related to our current year (2006) and the current president of the USA (George W. Bush, in case you still don't know!)
Personally, I am not quite sure of what to make of it all- patterns tend to naturally form and we can see in them what we wish. A cloud can be a horse or an airplane or even a dragon... it all depends on what we wish to see. Yet this does not mean that such patterns are necessarily without meaning, and the suggestion of The Bible Code is that these are divinely bestowed patterns with divinely given meanings. I think all this is indeed possible, but stop short of affirming that we are actually capable of seeing them, much less seeing clearly any that may refer to our possible futures.
For some examples of what people are finding there, or at least what they think they are finding there, see The Bible Codes. At the most, they present apocalyptic possibilities, not certainties and reveal the hypocricy in the hearts of the corrupt... just as the prophets in the Bible always managed to. Whether they are real at all or not is another matter. People will always want to know the future. They need to remember, though, that it is something they help to bring about. I certainly hope that the events seen in The Bible Code never need to happen at all.
