I saw this show on the Discovery Channel about a supposed code in the Bible or more specifically the Torah when you take the original Hebrew version Anyways using ELS (Equidistant Lettering System), where you put the text on a grid and the start on any letter and then count "X" number of letters and repeat the pattern you can spell words, phrases and sometimes entire sentences all relating to events in history in small matrices (or grids, and the closer together the more improbable. It mentions everything from Kennedy's assassination to RFK's assassination to 9/11 to the lunar landings, Columbia space shuttle disaster, Kobe earthquake, Israeli PM Rabin's assassination (predicted using the code before it happened) and tons of other stuff sometimes including the year or even the date that the event happened.
Supposedly encoded by God, it's amazing, the chance of this happening once is low but it occurs again and again and again mentioning tons of key phrases i.e. for Kennedy's assassination it said something like: Kennedy, President, Dallas, 1963, murdered or something like that. For 9/11 it said Airplanes, attack, twin, towers, twice and in a separate matrix it said "Destruction I will call you; cursed is Bin Laden and vengeance from the Moshiach." in one ELS.
Also, some people have made some predictions about the future using the Bible Code such as a large earthquake will hit LA in 2010, that a Palestinian state will be formed in 2010, and that a comet will strike earth in 2012 and desroy it (the same year the Mayans said!) but there was another matrix saying the comet to strike earth in 2012 will be destroyed before it hits earth implying we still have the choice and it's up to us. Perhaps most interesting of all one matrix says the WMD's of Iraq might have been sent to Lebanon before the war. If any of these turn true (hopefully not the comet one) I'll be a believer but I'm not 100% convinced yet.
Skeptics used Moby Dick (a book of similar length) to find predictive ELSs saying these things will occur in a book this size no matter what and it's not divine intervention but they only found a few good ELS in Moby Dick like the assassination of MLK and Kennedy and haven't found anything before it happened like the assassination of Rabin. Also one person found massive amounts of data about his personal family history and family tree mentioning the names of many of his ancestors and how they were realted to each other in a relatively small matrix.
