Synopsis

0n September 1, 1994, I flew to Israel and met in Jerusalem with a close friend of Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, the poet Chaim Guri. I gave him a letter which he immediately gave to the Prime Minister.

"An Israeli mathematician has discovered a hidden code in the Bible that appears to reveal the details of events that took place thousands of years after the Bible was written," my letter to Rabin stated.

"The reason I'm telling you about this is that the only time your full name Yitzhak Rabin is encoded in the Bible, the words 'assassin that will assassinate' cross your name."

On November 4, 1995, came the awful confirmation, a shot in the back from a man who believed he was on a mission from God, the murder that was encoded in the Bible three thousand years ago.

From Chapter 1: The Bible Code

On

September 1, 1994, 1 flew to Israel and met in Jerusalem with a close friend of

Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, the poet Chaim Guri. I gave him a letter which he

immediately gave to the Prime Minister.

"An Israeli mathematician has discovered a hidden code in the Bible that

appears to reveal the details of events that took place thousands of years after

the Bible was written," my letter to Rabin stated.

"The reason I'm telling you about this is that the only time your full name

-- Yitzhak Rabin -- is encoded in the Bible, the words 'assassin that will

assassinate' cross your name.

"That should not be ignored, because the assassinations of Anwar Sadat and

both John and Robert Kennedy are also encoded in the Bible -- in the case of Sadat

with the first and last names of his killer, and the date of the murder, and the

place, and how it was done.

"I think you are in real danger, but that the danger can be averted."

On November 4, 1995 came the awful confirmation, a shot in the back from a

man who believed he was on a mission from God, the murder that was encoded in the

Bible three thousand years ago.

The assassination of Rabin is dramatic confirmation of the reality of the

Bible code, the hidden text in the Old Testament that reveals the future.

The code was discovered by Dr. Eliyahu Rips, one of the world's leading

experts in group theory, a field of mathematics that underlies quantum physics.

It has been confirmed by famous mathematicians at Harvard, Yale, and Hebrew

University. It has been replicated by a senior code-breaker at the U.S.

Department of Defense. It has passed three levels of secular peer review at a

leading U.S. math journal.

Rabin's assassination was not the only modern event found. In addition to the

Sadat and Kennedy assassinations, hundreds of other world-shaking events are also

encoded in the Bible-everything from World War II to Watergate, from the

Holocaust to Hiroshima, from the Moon landing to the collision of a comet with

Jupiter.

And the Rabin assassination was not the only event found in advance. The

Jupiter collision was found, with the exact date of impact, before it happened,

and the dates of the Gulf War were found in the Bible before the war started.

It doesn't make ordinary sense in our secular world, and since I am not

religious, I would normally be among the first to dismiss it as millennium

fever.

But I have known about this for five years. I have spent many weeks with the

Israeli mathematician, Dr. Rips. I learned Hebrew, and checked the code on my own

computer every day. I talked to the man at the Defense Department, who

independently confirmed that the Bible code does exist. And I went to Harvard and

Yale and Hebrew University to meet with three of the world's most famous

mathematicians. They all confirmed that there is a code in the Bible that reveals

the future.

I did not fully believe it until Rabin was killed.

I found the Bible code's prediction of his assassination myself, a clear

warning that he would be killed in the Hebrew year that began in late 1995, but

never really believed it would happen. When he was killed, as predicted, when

predicted, my first thought was, "Oh my God, its real."
