What is the World's Wealth? ***************** Welcome To PropheZine #37 Hello all, Welcome to PropheZine issue # 37. Well I have to say a BIG sorry to all the scare in regards to the bogus virus. My Tech Director, Bob Lally, chewed me out for putting that out without getting with him first. So if you have not heard, the virus scare was bogus. Yet another attempt by the enemy to shut us down. I am very grateful to have Bob on my staff for this reason. To keep my facts strait. Well the HOT news is that there was a Red Heifer born in Israel and it DOES meet the standards in the Bible... Numbers 19:2-7 2 This [is] the ordinance of the law which the LORD hath commanded, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring thee a red heifer without spot, wherein [is] no blemish, [and] upon which never came yoke: 3 And ye shall give her unto Eleazar the priest, that he may bring her forth without the camp, and [one] shall slay her before his face: 4 And Eleazar the priest shall take of her blood with his finger, and sprinkle of her blood directly before the tabernacle of the congregation seven times: 5 And [one] shall burn the heifer in his sight; her skin, and her flesh, and her blood, with her dung, shall he burn: 6 And the priest shall take cedar wood, and hyssop, and scarlet, and cast [it] into the midst of the burning of the heifer. 7 Then the priest shall wash his clothes, and he shall bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp, and the priest shall be unclean until the even. (KJV) So once again we see one more piece of the puzzle coming into place. This is really exciting news, the Lord's hand is at work. I am also excited to have John Kinsella write a Exclusive article for PropheZine. John has written a GREAT book called " The Eternal Generation" B John Kinsella is a internet friend of mine. We have known each other for over 2 years now and we share the same interest in Bible Prophecy. If you do not know of John Kinsella, he is the former reporter for This Week In Bible Prophecy Program. He has also helped in research for Grant Jeffrey, Hal Lindsey, the Lalonde brothers plus many others in the field. He is VERY respected in the prophecy circles as a great researcher and author. In one of our emails, John said he was writing a book about this generation. I told John that when As a special note to you the PZ reader, you can order this book from John directly and he will autograph it for you. Just let him know you saw it in PropheZine. To order his book, send $12.00 US or $15.00 CDN -- this is including book rate shipping to: John Kinsella 8 Waterloo St. Fort Erie, Ontario, Canada L2A 3J5 Allow 4 to 6 weeks delivery.

We need more people like John and so many like him never hear how much we appreciate his work. Another thing, when talking to John on the phone, he wanted me to make sure everyone knew that "All proceeds and royalties from the sale of this book go directly to the Calvary Baptist Church Evangelical Outreach for the purpose of proclaiming Christ to a lost and dying world." These words are taken right from the front cover of his book. Hot news for all you in the Omaha area!! John will be speaking in Omaha, Nebraska in April at a conference coordinated by Joe Lape at Millard Social Hall. This will be located at Interstate 80 and Sapp Bros. Exit.

I promise it to be virus free...grin. See ya later and make sure you read about the Red Heifer. In His service, Ray PZ ******************* HALE-BOPP, SATURN LIKE OBJECTS, AND THE BIBLE by John Kinsella Exclusive to PropheZine ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- One of the big conspiracy theories making the rounds lately concerns the Hale-Bopp Comet. The latest theorizes that NASA is engaged in a cover up to conceal from the world the fact that Hale-Bopp is hiding an alien invasion force. To accept that, you have to throw logical thought out the window. For example, is everyone at NASA part of the conspiracy? Or just those at the top? If its only the top echelons, then those who actually do the work must be wondering why there is nothing on the news about a Doomsday Invasion Force From Outer Space. And, if there is a conspiracy to keep it quiet, it flies in the face of NASA's self interest. Budget restrictions cut deep at NASA. If NASA could find an alien invasion force headed toward Earth, Congress would throw money at them in giant bucketsful. For the conspiracy theory to work, everyone at NASA, from the top policymakers to the janitor would have to be in on it - and keep quiet, even if faced with budgetary layoffs. Makes no sense to me. Planet Earth is bristling with telescopes - national observatories in places like Japan, Russia, China, Canada, Bolivia, etc., etc. would all have to be part of the cover up as well. Not to mention every amateur astronomer on the whole planet, except those few who are 'warning' the rest of us. But that doesn't mean that Comet Hale-Bopp is without major significance to Bible prophecy. A recent TV mini-series called "Asteroid" is capitalizing on the Hale-Bopp comet scare. The plot line revolves around a comet passing within a million miles of earth that disrupts an asteroid belt's gravitational scheme, pulling a number of giant asteroids out of their orbit, hurling them at Planet Earth. Hale-Bopp has gotten a lot of coverage, mostly from the people who claim the government is covering up a possible 'companion' to the comet that some conspiracists claim is an alien space ship the size of Saturn. In that scenario, life imitates art - that is the plot line for last year's movie, "Independence Day." "Asteroid", on the other hand, is a case of art imitating life - the movie scenario is actually fairly plausible scientifically. Hale-Bopp could indeed suck some asteroids into its wake, and it will pass close enough to the earth to conceivably drop some of these cosmic hitchhikers onto our Big Blue Marble. Scientists estimate that some 2,000 asteroids larger than a kilometer (0.6 mile) in diameter are in orbits that could someday intersect with Earth. So far, only about 200 have been located, but the other 1,800 are out there somewhere, they say. Every hour, about a ton of micro-meteoric dust hits the Earth. Every few hours, a lump as big as a baseball makes it through the atmosphere. Once a month, some extra terrestrial object detonates at high altitude somewhere above the earth with the force of a kiloton (2,200 pounds) or more of TNT. At sunrise on June 30, 1908, the area near the Tunguska River in Siberia was the site of a tremendous explosion that had the force of a modern H-bomb and took place at an altitude of several miles. Though the explosion flattened trees for miles in all directions, no crater was formed, and aside from some microscopic nodules extracted from the soil, no recognizable fragments of an extraterrestrial object remain. Space scientists generally believe that the explosion was caused by a small comet that disintegrated in midair. And, last May, an object at least 1,000 feet in diameter appeared in the sky not much further from Earth than the moon's orbit. Such a scenario could be repeated any time, yesterday, ten years ago, a hundred years from now. Why, all of a sudden, in this generation, is it front page news? "And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;" - Luke 21:25 Based on what scientists now know, the odds that an object at least a mile in diameter will strike the earth in the next century work out to about 1 in 1,000. And, given current technology, the probability of seeing it in time to have any meaningful warning is zero. The damage from the impact of an object that large defies description. If it were to hit land, it would destroy all life within a 200 mile radius of ground zero. The impact would hurl molten lava as much as 100 miles in all directions, creating a rain of fire from the sky. Soot and debris would completely block out the sun, creating a kind of nuclear winter. That description could just as well be lifted directly from the pages of the Old Testament. "And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the LORD come." - Joel 2:30,31 And if it hit in the ocean? The New Yorker described the hypothetical consequences of a large impact off the coast of Bermuda. Imagine a 600 foot wave traveling at 500 mph as it slams into Manhattan. Florida is already drowned. It goes on; "Before the day is out, most of Earth's low lying regions have been submerged, from Edinburgh, Copenhagen and Dublin to Hong Kong and Bangkok." Those not living in coastal regions will survive the flooding to become victims of firestorms, choking pollution or the nuclear winter effect. Could it happen. Indeed, the Bible says that it will happen - during the time of the Great Tribulation. We are even given a glimpse of the Divine mechanism. "The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up. And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood; And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed." Rev 8:7-9 That is not to say that God will use asteroids - He is God, and He can and will use whatever method He chooses. But what was, for 2000 years, a terrifying image so miraculous that only true believers accepted it at face value, is today a scientific fact that is not only accepted as possible, but feared as probable. From a Biblical perspective, the possibility that Hale-Bopp is hiding an alien invasion force is zero. But it doesn't reduce the prophetic importance of the hype and hoopla surrounding its arrival on April Fool's Day. (Appropriate, no?) Jesus told us of the signs that would serve as mile markers to identify the generation that would see His triumphant return. Among them was this promise. "And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh." -Luke 21:28 ******************* WORLD HERITAGE "PROTECTION" UNESCO's War Against National Sovereignty by Berit Kjos What do the Statue of Liberty and a tropical rainforest in Australia have in common? What links the Grand Canyon and Yosemite to Stonehenge, the Great Pyramids, Machu Pichu, and Auschwitz Concentration Camp? All these, along with hundreds of other scenic and cultural treasures around the world, have come under the "protection" of UNESCO through the World Heritage Convention. Signed by former President Nixon in 1973, this treaty gives the United Nations authority to guide the safe-keeping of international sites and monuments "considered to be of such exceptional interest and such universal value that their protection is the responsibility of all humanity." 1 What if some Heritage lands are privately owned? It doesn't matter. In the eyes of UNESCO, private owners can't be trusted to guard "a World Heritage which belongs to all humanity"2 any more than parents can be trusted to properly raise their own children. The rights of the global collective must replace the old Western individual rights. To persuade the public, a new revolutionary way of thinking-often called holistic, integrated, or "systems thinking"-must replace the contrary old Western thoughts and ways. "The real enemy is a dysfunctional way of thinking,"3 said Al Gore in Earth in the Balance. His solution? "A worldwide education program... We should actively search for ways to promote a new way of thinking about the current relationship between human civilization and the earth...."4 UNESCO is leading the way. From individual to collective rights. Joe Baylis' gold mine was outside the boundaries of Yellowstone National Park. It fulfilled all state and federal environmental requirements. But those facts didn't stop UNESCO from exercising its authority over Baylis' land. According to new holistic interpretations of the World Heritage treaty, UN jurisdiction now also includes "critical buffer zones." So when World Heritage Committee members from Europe and Asia appeared in Wyoming in 1995 to help radical environmentalist fight the environmentally friendly mining company, they claimed-and won-the right to censure human activity within the entire ecosystem. What would be the boundaries of the Yellowstone World Heritage ecosystem? They are not yet established, explained Tony Barnosky, the moderator for the international hearing. But he admitted that it would include parts of "Utah, Idaho, Wyoming and Montana, an area of between 14 and 18 million acres."5 Yellowstone Park itself covers only about 2.2 million acres.6 Must the United States then submit to UN regulations for human activity within this entire region? Ken Smith (not his real name)7 didn't believe this could happen to him. His farm in the "wet tropics" of north-eastern Australia included a small piece of rainforest which he had researched and lovingly nurtured through the years. But when government environmentalists discovered that Smith had preserved ancient trees that had long vanished from most of the government-owned rainforest around him, they coveted his superior piece. Australia signed the World Heritage Convention in 1974, and in 1988 the wet tropics came under the watchful eye of the United Nations. Its Australian partners, operating through the Department of Environment, counted nearly a hundred species of "rare and threatened plants" on and near Smith's property along Cooper Creek. By 1991, the Cooper Creek catchment was recognized as one of Australia's most important botanical sites. Smith didn't want to yield his control of his land to the World Heritage administrators, but they claimed it anyway. He tried to work with the environmental agencies established to carry out UN directives. But their irrational regulations made it impossible for him to continue growing tropical fruit in his small orchard adjacent to the forest. He suggested a land "swap" - his rainforest for a cleared piece of land - but the environmental bureaucrats didn't respond. Sad and embittered, he sold his limited land rights to Prue, Neil and Brian Hewett, who hoped to earn a living on the land through ecotourism. Led to believe they had their government's consent, the Hewetts submitted a detailed plan for their forest's further protection. They also requested permission to extend their guided walks through the forest. The government not only ignored the petition, it began to direct tourism away from their area. When bureaucratic delays tested their patience and limited resources, the Hewetts challenged the Department of Environment to answer in court. On December 10, 1996, the Department warned the Hewetts that any form of tourism in their area would be discouraged. Only botanists and zoologist would be welcome into an area of such "great scientific interest". In other words, the original terms of the agreement had been replaced by the new systemic perspective that would guide the new managers of the land and its people. Yet, these globalist guardians did nothing to keep swimmers and sightseers from trampling the unprotected part of the Hewett's land. "We, the owners, are in the best position to protect our land," said Prue Hewett who genuinely wants to promote what she calls sustainable ecotourism. "The managers are far away at their desks in the cities. The local people here believe the government wants to reduce the population and get rid of the whole local community." She may be right. Could it be that World Heritage bureaucrats really don't care that much about nature or "all humanity"? FROM APATHY TO CONSENSUS. Those who have lost property rights and freedom would probably say "yes", but the rest of the world seems oblivious to the changes. It doesn't matter whether people live in the Northern or Southern hemisphere. Few are noticing the progressive steps from national sovereignty to a global management system. After all, the promotional literature sounds so good! To the people I met in Australia and New Zealand on a recent tour of UNESCO lands, the World Heritage label means honor, recognition, and additional income. "It's a benefit to eco-tourism," said a New Zealand tour guide eager for more business. "Being a World Heritage Area helps us protect our environment," added a visitor from Australia. UNESCO and other globalist change agents would have been proud. Their efforts to build public consensus and win approval are succeeding. Young and old are accepting the environmental media messages and believe the UN propaganda. Few check the facts behind the deceptive "science" and noble visions. "How can you be so sure that human activity causes global warming," I asked some fellow travelers, knowing well that car exhaust and other "destructive greenhouse gasses" have little effect on nature compared to the massive output of chlorine gasses from major volcanoes and ocean evaporation.8 "The scientists tell us," was the confident answer. Few realize that environmental "scientists" who receive government funding and UN approval must provide "scientific" backing for this political agenda.9 The battle for public support is won by those who "inform" and persuade the people. "Saving the earth" provides the cause and crisis that persuades people to submit to unthinkable regulations. As Stanford scientist Stephen Schneider said, "We'd like to... get some broad-based support, to capture the public's imagination. That, of course, entails getting loads of media coverage. So we have to offer up scary scenarios, make simplified, dramatic statements and make little mention of any doubts we might have...."10 With the media on their side, global greens are winning the war. Around the world, people are bombarded with the scary images and distorted information designed to change attitudes and boost compliance. FROM SPECIFIC FACTS TO HOLISTIC AMBIGUITY. To pacify their opposition, globalists are redefining their terms and making nice-sounding but ambiguous promises subject to their own evolving interpretations. Remember, those who define the terms control the program, and UNESCO doesn't play by the old rules. When the three World Heritage Committee members flew to Wyoming in September 1995 to exercise their authority over Yellowstone Park, they ignored the arguments given by the US Forest Service and state agencies. Federal and state assurances that the mine would cause no environmental problems made no difference. The mine wasn't the issue. What UNESCO sought was the right to impose its evolving regulations "on properties of World Heritage." To gain control, it added new meaning to the agreement. In the seventies, the World Heritage Convention had defined "natural heritage" as "precisely delineated areas...." For Yellowstone, that "precise" delineation was a site measuring 2.2 million acres. Now the World Heritage leaders were claiming the right to "protect" what environmentalist considered an entire ecosystem of 14 to 18 million acres World Heritage Committee Chairman Adul Wichiencharoen of Thailand explained the new terms. He suggested that Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) being prepared by the US Forest Service was taking a "fragmented" rather than a more "holistic approach" to the Yellowstone ecosystem. "It's a bit too much piecemeal, doesn't speak to the biological interactions outside park boundaries,"11 added Executive Director Bernd Von Droat, of Germany. Joe Baylis, President of Crown Butte's New World gold mine, wasn't surprised. He viewed the attack on his project as part of a far greater attack on all kinds of development near the park. The UNESCO committee's call for a broadly defined ecosystem was simply a political strategy to overcome the rational but contrary facts presented by the U.S. Forest Service. "The New World project as proposed will not threaten the park. It will benefit it," said Baylis, who had agreed to clean up all existing mine waste as well as to follow all the new state and federal regulations. Since the UN and its army of radical environmentalists were writing the rules and standards for ecosystem management, it's no wonder the mining company lost. This new global partnership has little tolerance for commercial concerns or property rights. All who treasure the freedoms America has offered for over two hundred years share in that loss. This loss meant victory to President Clinton. Defending UNESCO's claims, he signed the agreement that killed the gold mine. "This fight was not simply waged by those of you who live here for your families and your community and your future," he assured his army of eco-warriors. "You waged this fight for all the people in the United States and, indeed, the people of the world who believe in the preservation of our natural resources."12 Political paradigm shifts of this magnitude don't happen without opposition. So to minimize conflict, UN leaders and local partners seek the consent of a gullible public "informed" with the latest government approved "scientific" information. "...information..." says Al Gore, "should be collected in a manner that facilitates public education and fosters a greater understanding of what the new information means within the larger context of rapid global change."23 The World Heritage Youth have been enlisted to speed the process. As members of UNESCO's "Young People Participating in World Heritage Preservation and Promotion," they are working with teachers on the production of a World Heritage Education Kit, which will be distributed to schools worldwide in 1997.24 Could we be seeing the rise of a worldwide "democratic" or "civil" government whereby the chosen elite rule by manipulating a well-indoctrinated public, starting with the youth? In his second inaugural speech, President Clinton said "government must change. We need a new government for a new century." Could he be referring to the UN plans for managing and monitoring human and natural resources everywhere? His ambiguous visions fit the UN agenda, to which he has repeatedly pledged his support. If global governance becomes reality, there will be no place for dissenters to hide-other than in Christ. Now is the time to watch for the signs, learn the facts, inform others, call Congress, and-above all-pray to the only God who can preserve His gift of freedom in this land.

This week I want to point out what makes a matrix statistically interesting. Rather than give you all the mathematical formulas that the scientists use I'm going to try to go about it from a different angle so it won't be so confusing at first. I'll explain the more technical caluclations at another time. If you have read the Statistical Science article entitled "Equidistant Letter Sequences in the Book of Genesis" by Witztum et. al, (1) you will notice that they use the word "array" instead of matrix. It is my understanding that these terms are synonymous therefore don't be confused if you hear both terms describing the same thing. Words with related meanings, or word pairs, often occur encoded close together. For instance you may have heard of the combination of several codes regarding the Holocaust that contain the words Hitler, Eickman and Berlin that were found close together (2). There is a method whereby a diagram can be drawn up to show a spacial relationship of these words to each other and it is called a matrix or an array. One of the most important factors in determining if a group of codes are close enough to be statistically significant is compactness, i.e., the smaller the ELS (Equidistant Letter Sequencing) and the closer the encoded words are to each other the better. The reason being that the smaller the span of letters the less chance of it's occuring because of the difficulty of encoding it and still maintaining meaning in the surface text, whereas it would be fairly easy for someone to encode a message with a long span between letters. The more important combinations often have one word nudging up against another, only a few letters away, or crossing over one another. Another important factor is that the key word should occur at it's minimum ELS within the book or series of books being searched. The ideal situation would be to have the shortest ELS for each word being represented in a matrix. However that is not always possible because some words have their shortest ELS in the thousands. Sometimes short words, with the more common letters, are encoded so frequently that they will appear several times in every chapter. Therefore, using a short word with common letters, such as "Yeshua/Jesus", by itself is not very convincing statistically but in a matrix with other words that have a lesser probability of occurring by chance the statistical importance of the find would be enhanced. Also a phrase of two or more words lessens ambiguity when trying to prove that the words in the matrix are related in meaning. Example of what could be an important Matrix: Imagine that the following is a representation of a portion of the Hebrew Scriptures and that the x's are letters in the surface text. The 1's represent a word encoded at an ELS, or skip, of 2. The 2's represent a word encoded at an ELS of 16 crossing over 1 (the second letter of 1's being a common letter). The 3's represent a word encoded at an ELS of 17. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xx2xxxxxxxxxxxxx 1x1x1x1x1x1x1x1x xx2xxxxxx3xxxxxx xx2xxxxxxx3xxxxx xx2xxxxxxxx3xxxx xx2xxxxxxxxx3xxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx This matrix should be statistically significant because the span between letters in at least one case is very small and all the words are either touching one another or crossing over. - - - -This Issue's Code sample I found the phrase "Prince of Peace" encoded 7 times in the Torah under an ELS of 100--at least once in each book. I used the spelling in Isaiah 9:6 (Sar Shalom) where it gives several titles for our Lord. I checked each occurrence of "Prince of Peace" and every one of them has the word "Yeshua" either in close proximity, crossing over, or within one verse. I believe these phrases of "Prince of Peace" also begin on a relevant word or passage--of course that is open to interpretation. I have written out all the particulars of this find below. If the following chart does not appear in vertical columns open it up in a monospaced font such as Ariel, Courier or Monaco: Where the phrase "Prince of Peace" and the word "Yeshua" occurred: Book skip on on verse talking about: chapter or word verse ELS ---------------------------------------------------------- #1 Gen. 40:19 71 flesh Joseph interpreting a dream about a man being hung on a tree.

Yeshua-Deut. 6:3 @ -7 If you were to mark these codes off in your Bible you should have a rough idea of which one of them is more compact just by counting the lines (unless one of them has a minimum ELS in the hundreds or thousands and then this won't work). My Masoretic text is about 40 letters wide. Therefore the 7 codes I mentioned above cover the following amount of lines in my Bible: # Book/verse # of lines _______________________ #1 Gen. 49:19 11 #2 Gen. 43:17 8 #3 Ex. 35:09 11 #4 Lev. 5:10 12 #5 Num. 22:35 21 #6 Num. 29:26 10 #7 Deu. 6:01 6 As you can see #5 has the longest spread with 21 lines and #7 the shortest with only 6 lines. The shorter the distance the better for compactness. A general guideline for compactness would be for it to fit into a matrix of approx. 600 letters total, i.e. 20 X 30, 10 X 60, 15 X 40, and etc. Following are diagrams of each "Prince of Peace" code so you can get an idea of the different arrangements possible in a code array. I have arranged the text so that it is the width of the ELS of one of the codes (or a fraction thereof). The object is to display then in a manner where all the words are displayed in a straight line without being wrapped around to the next line. BTW, unless your text font is set at 10 these lines may wrap to the next line and distort the matrixes. I'm using a transliteration to indicate the letters because English has more letters than the Hebrew. Therefore, for the words "Prince of Peace/Sar Shalom" we have $R$L!M and for "Jesus/Yeshua" we have '$!Y . All other letters are represented as x's. Some of the words are encoded backwars and thus appear upside down in the matrix. #1 Gen. 49:19 at the width of the Sar Shalom code @ 71 which is also the width of the Yeshua code. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxYxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx$ xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx!xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxR xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx$xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx$ xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxL xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxM This matrix takes up the space of 355 letters. #2 Genesis 43:17 at the width of the Sar Shalom code @ 39 xxx'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxx$xxx$xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxRxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxx$xxxxxxxxxx!xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxLxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxx!xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxYxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxMxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx This matrix takes up the space of 312 letters. #3 Exodus 35:09 at the width of the Sar Shalom code @ 94 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx$ xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx! $xxxxxxxxxxxxRxxxxxxxxxxxx$xxxxxxxxxxxxLxxxxxxxxxxx!xxxxxxxxxxxxxMxxxxxxxxxxY I had to cut off the left end of this matrix to get it to fit on the page so just imagine that there are 4 rows of 16 x's on the left end. This matrix (including the 4 rows of 16 that I cut off) take up the space of 376 letters. #4 Lev. 5:10 at 1/3 the width of the Sar Shalom code @ 29 which is the width of the Yeshua Code.

If we were to cut off all but the rectangle encompassing the words the total would be only 9 x 12 = 108 letters which would make this the smallest matrix of all although it looked like the biggest one when marked out in the text of the Bible. This is an example of when the 20 x 30 rule doesn't apply when all the words are grouped on one end of a long ELS. #6 Numbers 29:26 at the width of the Yeshua code @ 44 xxxxxx'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxx$xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx$xxx xxxxxx!xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxRxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxYxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx$xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxLxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx!xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Mxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx This matrix takes up the space of 308 letters. #7 Deut. 6:1 at width of Sar Shalom @ 9 xxxxxxxMx xxxxxxx!x xxxxxxxLx xxxxxxx$x xxxxxxxRx xxxxxxx$x xxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxx Yxxxxxxxx xx!xxxxxx xxxx$xxxx xxxxxx'xx This matrix takes up the space of only 153 letters. Although Number 7 has the minimum ELS for the words "Prince of Peace/Sar Shalom" Yeshua at an ELS of -7 has at least 60 smaller ELSs in the Torah so this will lessen the statistical significance of this find but interesting nevertheless. If we look at all of these codes as a whole we have "Prince of Peace" encoded 7 times in the Torah under an ELS of 100--at least once in each book, all falling on a relevant word or verse, with the word "Yeshua" nearby, and everyone of them is well within the minimum of a 600 letter matrix (allowing for the one exception) which means they will all qualify for compactness. Hallelujah!!! Please show this to your favorite Documentary Hypothesist. Next time I will use the same matrixes and calculate their compactness using a mathematical formula and compare the two methods to see how accurate they really are. - - - - -Following are a list of books on codes. _Fascinating Torah Prophecies- Currently Unfolding_ By: Rabbi Nisan Aryeh Novick, 1996.
