After countless delays, "Bible Code 3" (Saving the World) has at last been published in the UK. I found this book a lot easier to read than the previous two:- "The Bible Code" and "The Bible Code 2: The Countdown". It arrived at lunch-time, and was read by bed-time, including the Coda, Chapter Notes & Appendix, but that might have had something to do with my having read the two previous books (albeit years ago) and my own research into the subject.
I started off highly sceptical of Michael Drosnin's work... it just didn't seem possible that such information could be encoded in a document written thousands of years ago... but I am now convinced that there is a lot more to this Bible (Torah) Code stuff than anyone could ever imagine.
Some of the findings are absolutely incredible. Most relate to past events, but some have come to light before the event (and are well documented as such). This is an important development in the study of Bible Codes. There is a big difference between codes found after an event (when you know what you are looking for) and "predictive" codes that are documented before the event and independently validated thereafter. Perhaps people will take a bit more notice now.
There are mathematical codes & patterns in the Torah; I know, because I found them (well at least some of them). Other Bible Code researchers (around the world) have found a whole load more, and I am sure that there is a lot more to be found... including the all-important "Code Key"... if only we knew where to look, and what to look out for.
Michael Drosnin is of the opinion that the "Code Key" is a physical object that may be found at a particular location encoded in the Torah. He might be right, but I still think that it is encoded in the Bible Code matrix itself. We could both be right... multiple clues for us to find when the time is right... and that time is probably not that far away.
I get the impression that this book is not the last in the series, just a statement of where we stand at the moment. There is a lot more to come.
