Jesus Christ the Number of His Name: The Amazing Number Code Found in the Bible

Rating:
Summary: For bible students.....a goldmine!
Review: Do not read this book expecting to find out the future as many do when picking up books relating to "bible codes". This book is mainly to do with gematria, rather than els codes. What it shows is how Gods creation itself, and his purpose that has been revealed over the last 6000 years to mankind, are reinforced by number patterns "hidden" within creation itself and the bible. Hebrew and Greek were dual number languages in that all letters had numerical values as well as letter meanings. Thus the biblical text, be it words, passages, verses etc can all be reduced to numerical values. Comparison of these values reinforce evidence of creation as well as bringing together Gods plan of redemption in Christ. For example, the nummber of the term Lord Jesus Christ is 3168, and this number was built into the cosmos, the dimensions of the cities of refuge, Solomons temple, ezekiels temple, the new Jerusalem etc. For bible student who study types and shadows of Christ in the old testament this book is a goldmine! Do not be put off by those too ignorant to understand the book. It is very easy reading, thought provoking,and probably the finest book I have read in the past 25 years.

Summary: Nice try but falls short of convincing!
Review: The Bible code, does it exist? Sir Isaac Newton was told to have spent over half his life looking for this code. The code that is supposed to unlock the mystery of Jesus Christ and foretell the future. This book is an examination into that subject.

Supposedly using some magic number scheme, the Bible is a series of codes and when these codes are revealed you will be able to find out the mysteries of the great unknown. While the author attempts to make a convincing argument, the argument is weak and often fact less.

The author makes every attempt to convince you that following this number code you can see how certain things happened, certain things were foretold and certain things will happen. As with any good magician, the illusion is the real trick.

Overall the book tends to rely on the gullibility of the reader. The author does not present any convincing evidence that cannot be refuted by other means. As with most "experts" the proof is in the pudding, and there is very little pudding to go around.

Summary: Breathtaking correlation of gematria and ELS.
Review: The correlations between gematria and equadistant-letter sequencing are so breathtaking that I had to put the book down to catch my breath in absolute awe of such overwhelmingly powerful discoveries. This is a must read for any thinker.

Summary: Already debunked.
Review: This is a completely naive explanation of the Bible Code. Similar programs have been run on the works of Twain and War and Peace and yeilded similarily "startling" (if not more so) results. Don't waste a dollar on this trash - unless you need something to prop under a table leg...
