Found this while doing a prophecy search. Does anybody know about the Bible Codes Matrices? This one specifically mentions Feb 18, 2006 as being of some significance.........
Chapter 20
1 God spoke all these words, saying:
2 I the Lord am your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, the house of bondage: 3 You shall have no other gods besides Me.
4 You shall not make for yourself a sculptured image, or any likeness of what is in the heavens above, or on the earth below, or in the waters under the earth. 5 You shall not bow down to them or serve them. For I the Lord your God am an impassioned God, visiting the guilt of the parents upon the children, upon the third and upon the fourth generations of those who reject Me, 6 but showing kindness to the thousandth generation of those who love Me and keep My commandments. 7 You shall not swear falsely by the name of the Lord your God; for the Lord will not clear one who swears falsely by His name. 8 Remember the sabbath day and keep it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is a sabbath of the Lord your God: you shall not do any work — you, your son or daughter, your male or female slave, or your cattle, or the stranger who is within your settlements. 11 For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth and sea, and all that is in them, and He rested on the seventh day; therefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day and hallowed it.
12 Honor your father and your mother, that you may long endure on the land that the Lord your God is assigning to you.
13 You shall not murder.
You shall not commit adultery.
You shall not steal.
You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
14 You shall not covet your neighbor's house: you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his male or female slave, or his ox or his ass, or anything that is your neighbor's.
15 All the people witnessed the thunder and lightning, the blare of the horn and the mountain smoking; and when the people saw it, they fell back and stood at a distance. 16 "You speak to us," they said to Moses, "and we will obey; but let not God speak to us, lest we die." 17 Moses answered the people, "Be not afraid; for God has come only in order to test you, and in order that the fear of Him may be ever with you, so that you do not go astray." 18 So the people remained at a distance, while Moses approached the thick cloud where God was.
19 The Lord said to Moses:
Thus shall you say to the Israelites: You yourselves saw that I spoke to you from the very heavens: 20 With Me, therefore, you shall not make any gods of silver, nor shall you make for yourselves any gods of gold. 21 Make for Me an altar of earth and sacrifice on it your burnt offerings and your sacrifices of well-being, your sheep and your oxen; in every place where I cause My name to be mentioned I will come to you and bless you. 22 And if you make for Me an altar of stones, do not build it of hewn stones; for by wielding your tool upon them you have profaned them. 23 Do not ascend My altar by steps, that your nakedness may not be exposed upon it.
Check out the link. 2006 could be a very bad year!
The Bible Code Matrixes should NOT be used to try to predict the future. Too much can be read into them. False stuff. It can only be viewed looking to the past. For what its worth, 18th of February is a Sabbath day. The Scripture portion for that day is what I posted.
Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.
I Timothy 1:4
We're all doomed.
Does that mean there is something that should be used to predict the future?
Only what Scripture says on the face of it. If God's prophets say it, yes, you can look for it to happen. But using Bible codes or anything else to divine the future is dangerous and forbidden. Direct revelation verses subjective interpretation is what we are dealing with.
Aren't bible codes taken from the bible? Isn't direct revelation an interpretation of the bible? I see many here that disagree on what the bible says.
You could tell me the truth. I could misinterpret it. That doesn't mean what you told me wasn't true, trustworthy, or to be considered. I just screwed up. The validity of God's revelation is not dependent upon man's ability to correctly interpret it.
Yet I would agree that even here one must be careful. We are humans. We don't have all of the answers, nor do we have perfect understanding. Too many people want to set dates and name names. There are signs, to be sure; but, I don't believe many of them have been fulfilled thus far. And, I believe it will be clear when they are fulfilled that this is the fulfillment of the prophecy. I.E., there will be nobody who "accidentally" takes the mark of the Beast.
The Bible codes are taken from the Bible and are a pattern. You CAN find patterns of letter sequences in other books. The Bible is particularly full of them and folks just love to use the codes to try to predict what will happen next. It's human nature. But, that doesn't make it right.
Then what good is a truth, if it depends on the correct interpretation, and how would you even know what the truth is?
How do you know it doesn't make it right?
Because the Bible says it is so. And before you say "How do you know the Bible is trustworthy?" It is my rational reasonable belief that it is; based upon experience, based upon fulfilled prophecy, based upon history, based upon how it portrays human beings. You may make a choice to believe that it isn't. That's your decision. But, you believe what you believe to be true based upon similar criteria. Because the Bible comes from God and is inspired by Him (who never changes), it is an anchor for belief. Those whose opinions just rest upon their own beliefs and nothing beyond that (or even societies beliefs but nothing beyond that) have a world view that rests on shifting sands. Opinions change. God doesn't.
Your anchor for belief, actually depends on a belief, doesn't it?
No. My anchor is God. Whether I believe or not, He is the foundation.
OK
