The reward for humility and fear of the LORD is riches and honor and life. (Proverbs 22:4, NIV)
Mathematics expert, ex-skeptic helps prove God’s authorship.
Bible Code Bombshell: Compelling Scientific Evidence that God Authored the Bible is written by Edwin Sherman, an internationally recognized mathematician and statistical expert who was a skeptic of Bible codes, and, in fact, set out to nullify theories connecting them to ancient verses.
In 1997, the The Bible Code, written by Michael Drosnina which was based on the work of Israeli mathematician Eli Rips. Drosnina claimed that future events, such as the Holocaust, Yitzak Rabin’s assassination and the Gulf War were encoded in the Bible base on Eli Rips research.
But many mathematic researchers and statisticians view The Bible Code with skepticism, believing that anything can be read into the Bible using Rip’s research.
Along comes R. Edwin Sherman who found much of the facts in Drosnina’s book trivial. Sherman was very skeptical and started to write his book to prove the the fallacy of The Bible Code. Instead, he uncovered a bombshell. According to his book, he was able to uncovered long statements that had a mathematical probability of happening of about one in a million.
Using the ancient Hebrew text which had no vowels, as a baseline. He created long strings of the letters and inserted vowels following the standard rules based on the sequence of consonants. Using Isaiah 53, a chapter filled with known messianic prophecies, he found 42 long hidden messages relating to Jesus’ death, resurrection and ascension.
Therefore, Sherman concluded that the Bible was written by God Himself, as the hidden messages could not have been possibly created by the prophet Isaiah.
