Publishing the Explosive Evidence
Bible Code Bombshell is Ed Sherman's long-awaited book on the most important code findings since the publication of the results of the "Famous Rabbi's Experiment" (Witztum, Rips & Rosenberg) in Statistical Science in 1994. It may well become the book of the year on science and religion.
Bombshell's main chapters are easy-to-read. Technical appendices buttressing its findings have been properly placed at the end of the book.
The first two chapters introduce Bible codes and summarize code developments over the last decade.
The next four chapters present the most convincing evidence yet presented for the reality of the phenomena of Bible codes. While pieces of this evidence have been presented in past BCD issues, the thrust of the case Ed makes in Chapters 3 and 4 is fresh material.
The BCD website is loaded with so many articles and past Digest issues that it can be bewildering. Bombshell boils down the results of five years of extensive research into an enjoyable read. It is limited to covering the most important and significant findings of BCD researchers.
The gist of Ed's case is this:
- He "blindfolded" an acknowledged Hebrew expert and had him look for codes in the Hebrew Bible and in an ordinary non-encoded Hebrew text.
- He recorded how many "codes" were found in both texts, how coherent their content was, and how long they were.
- He developed a clear benchmark for how much "encoded" material would be "discovered" in the ordinary, non-encoded text.
- He chose a chapter of the Bible that many believe is a prophecy about Jesus Christ (Isaiah 53) and searched for a set of short words about Christ that appear as ELSs in that passage.
- The Hebrew expert examined each of these short ELSs to see if they were part of a longer phrase or sentence.
- The Isaiah 53 findings exceeded the benchmark to such an overwhelming extent that "chance" had to be completely ruled out as an explanation.
Not only were the extended codes in Isaiah 53 far longer than chance might produce, but the coherence and relevance of these codes to the topic of Christ sharply contrasted with the kind of random content one would expect from chance "codes."
It is one thing to find a very short code like "Peter" in Isaiah 53. It is quite another to find a lengthy code right before Peter that reads, "Have obedience to God, even if for a day only." How fitting would such words be as ones spoken to the impulsive and unruly Peter.
It is an interesting thing to find a short code like "chosen people." It is quite another to find a potent message surrounding this code that reads, "Know who the chosen people are or God will be angry." What words could better summarize Jewish reactions to the radical early Christians who were seeking to set aside Jewish laws and customs in favor of a new religion?
It is not that unusual a thing to find a short code like "resurrection of Jesus" here and there in the Hebrew Bible. It is utterly amazing to find the following sentence encoded right afterward: "He is risen indeed." What an emphatic reiteration of an event that forever changed human history.
Finding "Jesus is the way" as a code in Isaiah 53 was a bit unusual, though it could have been a coincidence. But finding that this phrase is only part of a longer sentence that reads, "In his name, as he commanded, Jesus is the way," is truly astounding.
Bombshell isn't a dry exposition of a scientific investigation. It is dramatic in its unfolding—because of the stunning content of the codes that were discovered tightly interwoven between the letters of the most controversial passage in the Hebrew Bible.
Not so long ago, a skeptical Ed Sherman was blown away by the profound findings that emerged from his careful investigation. Bombshell provides you with the opportunity to share that experience.
