National Enquirer sometimes will have a headline like 'Hidden Code in Bible to Bring You Wealth'. Most of us pass this off as hucksterism (is that a word?)

But..... do you think there are genuine hidden messages / codes in scripture? Or, are these just attempts to read things into scripture that God didn't intend.

Here is an interesting example... (Do you know of others?)

The Gospel message of salvation is hidden in the meaning of the 10 names leading from Adam to Noah.

Adam...means, man
Seth .... means, Appointed
Enosh ..means, Mortal
Kenan ...means, Sorrow
Mahalalel... means, The Blessed God
Jared ...means, Shall come down
Enoch ...means,Teaching
Methuselah... means, His death shall bring
Lamech ...means, The Despairing
Noah ...means, Rest, or comfort.

The Gospel
Man is appointed mortal sorrow; but the Blessed God shall come down teaching that His death shall bring the despairing rest.

ABSOLUTELY; there are many codes. At least one rabbi found evidence of the ELS code in the 1800's. Can't remember which one now, but one of our scientists from a few hundred years ago, whose hobby was bible study, found the same type of code in there.

HaShem is making sure none will have any excuse in the last days. Peace

Your definitions on some of those names are pretty iffy.

Seth means something closer to "compensated." The idea is of a replacement, not an appointment of someone who already exists.

Enosh means "men," and does not carry the idea of mortality, except for the poetic substitution of "mortals" as a name for men. "What knaves these mortals be!" carries the sense of the word.

Cainan/Kenan properly means "nest" or "one who nests." The idea is that of someone who builds towns, rather than dwelling nomadically.

Mahalal-el means "praise God." You're close on that one.

Jared you have correct.

Enoch is closer to "trainee" than "training."

Methuselah is a combination of the words for "death" and "weapon."

Nobody really knows exactly what Lamech means. All answers are conjecture.

And, yes, Noah means rest.

To answer the question, though. There are some small hidden messages in the Bible. Acrostic was a poetic form in the Hebrew language, and finds some use in Scripture.

But, long sequences of codes that only computers can decipher? No such thing was intended by God or man.

If you look hard enough, you can even find things that aren't really there.

True, the human mind looks for and will even create patterns, but to say that you know God's intended plans or details is off base.

This is an uninformed opinion. I know it is, because if you had ever read the evidence they've found for and in the codes, you could/would never arrive at this opinion. Peace

I've read The Bible Code, by Michael Drosnin. If you have something else to recommend, by all means do so.

If we cannot know the will of God, or understand the spirit in which He acts, then what are we even doing here?

1Co 15:19 comes to mind.

Bible Codes, seem to be efforts in creative thinking (link given as example here on TOL). While they are interesting, they don't seem to hold up well under scrutiny, imho. I believe time spent on the straight-forward morals, teachings, and directions is incredibly more important than anything going on behind the scenes. King David obviously spent time looking at stars and penned "the heavens declare the glory of God. The Wisemen obviously followed stars to Bethlehem. I believe, however, that general revelation, the Bible, is a better empirical source of direction and information and worth more of our time in a straightforward manner.

Deu 6:6 And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart.
Deu 6:7 You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise.
Deu 6:8 You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes.
Deu 6:9 You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.
2Ti 3:16 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness,
2Ti 3:17 that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.

Gematria and so on is nothing but mysticism. The Jews have been doing this with Kabbala and their other writings for centuries.

It has NOTHING to do with Kabbalah OR mysticism. It is a fact, that the Father wove these things into the fabric of the Torah, and it is BEAUTIFUL to behold His workmanship, which makes it IMPOSSIBLE to lie against the veracity of it being from Him because no man could do it.

It should be something awesome and amazing and worthy to be praised for the sheer magnificence of it, and instead some of you seem more inclined to spit on it. Shame on you.

Dear 6days,

They've come to me saying 'there is a cure for cancer, and all other maladies' in three words in the Old Testament. Turns out, they were 'Tree of Life" and they say this tree's relatives can be found somewhere in the Amazon. Who's going to ever find those. How convenient. Just a ploy to get you to read it.

God Is With You!!

Michael

None so blind as My servant who will not see nor so deaf that he will not hear.

God doesn't speak in riddles or codes, He shouts from the rooftops

Give and it shall be given you again good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over shall men put into your bosom.

Seek ye FIRST the kingdom of God and His righteousness and ALL these things will be added unto you.

It is not only in holy writ but look around you, SEE which are the wealthy nations and which are the poor.

We are such a foolish people but God has never hidden Himself in riddles.

Do you guys study the Word for yourselves, or just listen and parrot your teachers who vomit scriptures all over their tables without gleaning any LIFE out of them, like the modern Pharisees that they are?

Pro 25:2 It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.

Psa 18:11 He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.

Psa 25:14 The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant.

Isa 45:3 And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the LORD, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel.

Dan 2:22 He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him.

Amo 3:7 Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets

Pro 1:22 How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?
