Everywhere one looks, there is another book espousing the notion that there are “codes” in the Bible that point to prophetic occurrences, and, even, possibly future events yet to come. The claim is even made that these codes can save the world.
Where does that leave Jesus in this?
We are not an expert in this matter, but we are certain that Bible "codes" will not save the world, the Lord will.
In this light, we do want to make an observation on this best-selling (read $$$) trend in protest-ant-ism.
We don’t know about anyone reading this, but we do not feel comfortable with a machine giving us “oracles” about mankind and our fate.
We don’t seem to recall anywhere in the Bible where God chose to use an inanimate object to give a prophetic revelation to mankind.
The Lord, in His Infinite Wisdom, seems to have always favored a human subject, usually someone unwilling, unknowing, or just plain amazed that God chose them.
In fact, we would like to point out that any sane individual knows the computer — which we all happily use — has within its makeup the ability to ensure the reign of the antichrist. As many have so rightfully pointed out, the computer system is also capable of encoding the “mark of the beast” on individuals, and we see its use already in this arena with the “digital angel” chip.
Therefore, while anyone can read anything anyone wants, we have a cautionary note: are we sure God would use the same machine that the antichrist would?
Yes, of course, God always turns evil into good. But the evil of the chip is just rearing its head at the same time the so-called “Bible codes” are. And then, there are those who are claiming EVERYONE is mentioned in the first five books of the Bible! We didn't know we were included with the patriarchs!
And then there is another important point to this factor.
The source of the “codes” is coming from the same biblical idiot protest-ant (BIPs) types who cannot seem to recognize Jesus’ Mother as their Queen.
Can we, therefore, trust the spiritual judgment of these people who complain that the “Hail Mary” is a repetitious prayer and, then, in their ecstatic state, made a multimillion-seller (read $$$) out of the book that promoted the “Prayer of Jabez”?
We are not against the “Prayer of Jabez,” but we are against the hypocrisy that the protest-ants gladly say this prayer every day and not consider it “vain and repetitious”!
Here is a “vain and repetitious” prayer:
* Day One: hey, God, I need a new car; could you please help me get one?
* Day Two: hey, God, I just saw a really good vehicle that I think I really deserve. Please answer my prayer and help me get it.
* Day Three: hey, God, you know that car we’ve been talking about? Well, it’s on sale today. Don’t You think this a good time to help me secure it financially?
* Day Four: well, you get the idea!
There is nothing “vain and repetitious” about the “Hail Mary” prayer as it does NOT focus on the individual who prays it. Instead, it focuses on honoring the Mother of God and worshipping the Fruit of Her Womb as the Bible instructs us. In fact, we are actually saying, just like the Prayer of Jabez, words recorded in Scripture and then we ask for prayers from the One who interceded for Her Son when He was on the Cross!
If Mary can intercede for Jesus, we sure do pray She will intercede for us!
In this observation, we have a word of advice to those who have made it this far as we question the new craze to follow “Bible codes.”
Perhaps, we should take a step back and think to ourselves which of these two individual images the Lord would use to grant us His prophetic wisdom?
* One: a machine that man made that in the end result made man forget his responsibilities before God;
* or Two: His Mother who gave us the First Coming of Christ by giving birth to Him and is specifically called out in the Book of Apocalypse — the only prophetic book of the New Testament — as the Woman Clothed With the Sun.
Mary has already given mankind prophetic warnings and predictions of what will happen to us if we do not heed Her messages.
If anyone is truly interested in knowing what, in the Book of Apocalypse, the number of the beast “666” means to Heaven, or who is the “beast like a leopard,” and who is the “beast like a lamb,” you can find it in a book that is now almost six years old since Mary said "all has been revealed to you."
It is a book entitled, “To the Priests, Our Lady’s Beloved Sons,” which contain messages the Virgin gave to Father Stefano Gobbi. Messages in which the Queen of Heaven and Earth told mankind through Father Gobbi that they were the culmination of Her Fatima messages originally given in 1917.
We have read this book.
We are confident in its messages, as not only do we see the Fruits of the Spirit, but many prophetic utterances — such as the crisis in the priesthood and the current scandal — are contained within.
Anyone can read the “Bible Codes.” But remember, the evil one cannot be “as God,” he can only mimic the Lord. The “codes” are coming from an “unholy” machine designed by unholy men that is then being used to try to make sense out of the Living Word of God. A Word that was spoken to mankind long before these people were born and computers conceived.
We, on the other, are a lot more confident in following the messages of the Woman God used to conceive Himself as True God and True Man.
A Woman whom through the true Wise Men first encountered the true Word of the Lord, Emmanuel: the Word made Flesh!
A Woman whose messages have already been proven by historical events, such as the rise of Soviet communism, World War II, the predicted assassination attempt of John Paul II, and the fall of communism in Russia after the pope made an imperfect consecration of the world to Her Immaculate Heart (we, therefore, today, have an “imperfect” “peace”).
A Woman who preaches the messages of worshipping God, while pleading for mankind to seek peace — a peace only Jesus can give and a message that the world continues to ignore.
A Woman who, as the Queen of Prophets, said that She, and only She, has been given the right by God to explain the only prophetic book in the New Testament. (Sorry, BIPs, this means all of your so-called “prophets” who continually fail to predict events correctly and are constantly “adjusting” their statements to fit the times are WRONG! What happened to their supposed 10-nation European confederacy that will usher in the “antichrist” before Y2K? How much $$$ have they made on these false prophecies?)
A Woman who said the Triumph of Her Immaculate Heart would soon be complete and has already begun as a result of the consecration of the New Millennium to the Queen of Peace by John Paul II in the Great Jubilee Year. (Remember, it is always darkest before the dawn!)
A Woman who knows God in Heaven a lot more intimately than a machine plugged into a wall.

The 'codes' from a manmade machine or the messages
from the Woman who
made the Word Flesh?
There was another book with the word "Countdown" in its title.
It was also a best-seller in the world of protest-ants.
It predicted the reign of the antichrist and the
Second Coming of Jesus
before the end of a decade
long past. It was called,
The 1980s:
Countdown to Armaggedon.
As it has been said about
other protest-ant prophecies,
we guess we're still here!
By the way, the author of the this book, one Hal Lindsey, is still utterring his nonsense on whatever airwaves allow him.
