Ancient books of Kabbalah and inscriptions on Greek temples refer to a universal key – a time capsule of knowledge. We are invited to “know thyself” and “seek within”. This wasn’t just a metaphor, it was a clue to look in our DNA. Artists sign their works, manufacturers put their brand name on their products, and God signed our DNA. The Kabbalah’s Sepher Yetzirah describes the first elements of the universe as represented by the Hebrew letters of God’s ancient name, and the formation of the rest of the universe by the remaining letters. The 3 mother letters of creation are alef =breath, mem=water, and shin=fire. So YHVH must stand for nitrogen, oxygen and hydrogen.

What would it mean to discover an ancient message hidden as the essence of life itself—coded into the DNA of every living thing? Since 2000, physicist Nathan Jacobi, an agnostic Jew, and engineer Moshe Aharon Shak, an orthodox Jew, claim to have discovered hundreds of examples of lengthy, extended ELSs. [21] The number of extended ELSs at various lengths is compared with those expected from a non-encoded text, as determined by a formula from Markov chain theory. [22] Criticism [ edit ] The MBBK paper argued that the ELS experiment is extraordinarily sensitive to very small changes in the spellings of appellations, and the WRR result "merely reflects on the choices made in designing their experiment and collecting the data for it." Note: it is by no means the only instance of the missing "vav" - Genesis 3:22 (the first example of the word) is without it, as is Genesis 6:3, Exodus 15:18, 21:6, 31:17, 32:13, Leviticus 25:46, Deuteronomy 5:29, 32:40, 1 Kings 1:31, 2:33 and so on - all in addition to Exodus 3:15. All we can say is that this is a rarer form, however, the author gives the impression it is unique.The book has received a special on the History channel and a documentary series is being made about the travels leading to Smith’s discoveries.

Population statistics from the 2000 are believed to be the most accurate in history, indicating that we share our world with approximately 6.2 billion of our kind. Of that number, nearly 95 percent, or 5.9 billion people, believe in the existence of a higher power or Supreme Being of some description. More than half of those people refer to this power as 'God'. These and similar statistics suggest that the question of our day may be less about whether or not we believe that God exists, and more about precisely what such a presence means in our lives" (p.43). The natural elements of life translate directly into a readable text message in our cells, including God’s ancient name. Thomas, Dave (November 1, 1997). "Hidden Messages and The Bible Code".

In addition to preserve the oldest and most mysterious works of the Kabbalah, the Sepher Yetzirah is undoubtedly the most controversial" (p. 58). Undoubtedly for whom? Apparently for the prestigious historian of religions Karen Armstrong, quoted in the next sentence of this paragraph. What if Armstrong quote doesn't support that? Who cares? When some known scientists are quoted by Braden, the quotation doesn't support what Braden wants to. The names of Carl Sagan (p. 179) or Einstein (p. 231) are used in this way. Through our advancement as a civilization from wood-burning fires to microwave ovens, is it possible that we could have left something behind?" (p. 67), states Braden clearly. "Even today, the details of the [alchemy:] remain hidden to all except those who are directly involved with the tradition, to prevent the misuse of its power" (p. 75). Now, wait a minute. Wait a minute. This goes deeper. I wanna go deeper with this because I was teaching some preachers and said, "You don't let the crowd control the sermon". Away with that, away with that, away with that. The Word of God oughta come from within you, not controlled by you. You could sit there right now and be as evil as you choose to be, roll your eyes all while I'm preaching, text your girlfriend on the fifth row behind you, call me all kinds of names, and all while you textin', I'll be preaching all over top of your head because I refuse to allow your facial expression to control the glory of God that's coming out of me.

From their observations, MBBK created an alternative hypothesis to explain the "puzzle" of how the codes were discovered. MBBK's argument was not strictly mathematical, rather it asserted that the WRR authors and contributors had intentionally: There are lots of laughs in this book. He tells us it was the IGY study of earth in 1957-8 that discovered that air is not oxygen, but 78% nitrogen which “combines with oxygen to stabilize the air.” And it was NASA that discovered what water is made of. He tells us scientists have recognized a new form of energy: I like Braden's writing and he supports his work. He provided the reader key takeaways he thought to be most important. A good synopsis chapter by chapter.The premise that something greater binds us all and it is encoded in each of us; and the code deciphered in Hebrew, is the name of god or the divine in Hebrew is interesting but not profound. There was something missing her for me. My gut did not ring this as true. What would it mean to discover an ancient language—a literal message—hidden within the DNA of life itself? What we once believed of our past is about to change…
