  The Bible Codes
The Bible Code, which was written by an unbeliever and is purely secular in scope, claims that someone (he speculates that it was extraterrestrials) placed a secret code in the Old Testament over three thousand years ago.
So although the Bible code proved in error concerning the invasion of Israel, we are to believe that it is accurate in declaring that we have entered the last days.
Some Christians are buying into the Bible code premise on the basis that it is receiving strong support from both the scientific and mathematical community, as well as from Christian scholarship.

 The Bible (or Torah) Code - Skeptic's Dictionary
The Bible Code is the title of a book by Michael Drosnin in which he claims that there is a code embedded in the Bible by God.
He claims in The Bible Code (1997) that decoding the Bible leads to the discovery of prophecies and profound truths of a secular nature, not all of which are related to the Jews.
Drosnin claims that the Bible is the only text in which these encoded phrases are found in a statistically significant pattern, and that the chance of this being a random phenomenon is unlikely.

To generate Bible Codes by such errors, one would be required to have such a massive number of miscopied and faulty words that the Hebrew text would be reduced to an incomprehensible string of gibberish.
The reason Bible Codes could only be generated by massive errors of this kind is that genuine codes contain several long words in a contiguous matrix or design that is statistically not reproducible by chance.
The genizeh problem for the Bible Code critics is a major one: One of the uses for such storage areas was for the disposal of faulty copies of the Bible, produced by a novice scribe learning his craft.

See the Bible Codes Fact Sheet for a lot more detailed description of ELS codes, and to see how this method is able to prove that the Bible had to have been "divinely inspired" by a "higher-intelligence" which the Bible tells us is God himself.

 Bible Codes - Are They True?
The codes are actually intended to give the student of the Bible some clear teachings that those who fail to study the Holy Scriptures will not comprehend.
So, the theory that those adopt by using "codes" is the fact that the farther you reach with the sequence of every 7th occasion, the more certain each time that God is in the "code" or in the "pattern of events." I am providing the above illustration only as an example.
Since we are only interested in "codes" which are found in the Bible, we should understand the plain and simple external numerical patterns and standards that God has given to us that identify the holiness of God's Holy Scriptures.

The new code appears in the "Suffering Servant" area of Isaiah 53 "cluster", a huge collection about the final days of Jesus Christ which includes the names of all the apostles and the three Marys present at the Lord's crucifixion.

 The Mysterious Bible Codes
The word codes are hidden words that are in the original text of the Bible that relate to people, places, events and other items all through history.
The number codes are specific number values of words and phrases that appear again and again in the text of the Bible whenever the same item is described.
The Codes will not fall apart like a domino, because the words and letters that form the text are not interconnected rigidly, so a corrupted part may not affect the rest of the text for code identification.

 The Bible "Codes" -- A Textual Perspective
Whatever the purpose for which they use the alleged codes, their proponents depend on the assumption that the text of the Bible on which they base them is universally accepted among Jews and is completely identical to the original text.
Advocates of the codes make much of the "famous sages" experiment in which Witztum, Rips, and Rosenberg (henceforth: WRR) claim to have found ELS-coded references in Genesis to famous medieval sages with their dates of birth and/or death nearby, closer than would be expected by chance alone.
Drosnin states that "all [Hebrew Bibles] that now exist are the same letter for letter" and that "the Bible code computer program uses the universally accepted original Hebrew text." He states that the text "existed at least 1000 years ago, and almost certainly 2000 years ago, in exactly the same form it exists today" (pp.
