' "Twin Towers" was encoded in the 3000-year-old text. "Airplane" appeared in exactly the same place. "It caused to fall, knocked down" crossed "airplane" and "towers"...But it was not this terrorist attack that really shook me. It was what the Bible code predicted was yet to come.' This is the sensational sequel to THE BIBLE CODE, which rocketed to the top of the bestseller charts in 1997. The discovery of a code encrypted in the Bible some 3000 years ago caught the public imagination. But if this code predicted the disastrous events of 9/11, what more can it tell us about our future? And if we are on the road to Armageddon, can it give us the information we need to survive? One word of advice - don't make big plans for 2006...

Rights have done a wonderful job with this and sold an extract of the new material contained in the paperback to the DAILY MAIL which will run at the beginning of November (we have a press date of 27 November). And don't forget the excellent BBC2 HORIZON programme on Michael and the book which will be shown in November, as soon as I have a confirmed transmission date I'll let you know.

NEW COVER, SAME FLAWS AS THE HARD BACK,
By
This review is from: Bible Code 2 the Countdown (Paperback)
Why a new cover design for an old book that was already flawed? Bible Code III would have been published by now if this book did not have so many problems.
Drosnin's first Bible Code books got me so fired up about the possibility of a predictive Code that I actually quit my teaching job in Florida, and ran over to Israel and Egypt on a related expedition in 1999 (and again in 2005). Why? He claimed the future of the world, including an atomic holocaust, is encoded in Torah. As a U.S. military planner with Hebrew skills, I wanted to know if his predictions were valid. It seemed to me that if the Code were real, its most vital secret would be the location of the Ark. In 2008 I concluded that any idea of a general predictive Code needs to be modified in accordance with Talmudic principles and the concept of Free Will. Not everyone will find their name in the Bible Code. Further, Drosnin's original atomic holocaust warnings were neither statistically significant, nor accurate. In Bible Code II, Drosnin gets hung up looking for the key to the Bible Code. He thinks it's in Lisan, Jordan (the Dead Sea area). But his supporting matrices are not significant. Nor did they include any requirement for course angles between places named to match what is seen on real world maps. In my own ARK CODE book, also available on Amazon.Com, you will fund redundant encoded maps that strongly suggest where Jeremiah hid the Ark of the Covenant when he was forced into exile in Egypt, near where local Bedouins believe Moses split the sea at Lake Bardawil. As for the Code Key that Drosnin sought, I have found matrices to indicate that he should have sought Baal Zephon (mentioned in Exodus 14:2; 14:9. and Numbers 33:7) for this purpose. The coordinates of interest for it are at 31-16 North, 33-03.5 East. HOW MOST BIBLE CODE MAPS ARE ENCODED. Key site names are encoded in such manner as to have the angles between Jerusalem, Egyptian towns or sites, and the suspect Ark site, at 31-9 North, 33-4 East, exactly correspond to actual course headings on real world maps. The purpose of my book and web site has been to document these maps (found by myself and by Dr. Robert Haralick of the City University of New York Computer Science Graduate Studies Department), and to help facilitate actions required to investigate the site (and, of course - recover the Ark if it's there). ARK CODE not only summarizes the ELS Maps I've found, but it also explores the expeditions I've taken to Egypt and meetings that I held with the Egyptian Government for the specific purpose of preventing the war that Drosnin warned about. There is still a good case for some predictive capability in the Torah Code, but you really have to master basic principles of statistics found in ARK CODE before running out to place any bets based on a Torah Code matrix. Drosnin supposedly has a Bible Code III book coming out, but the entire market for Bible Code books has largely dried up because he made so many wrong predictions. The future is not hard wired. If anything, actions that Drosnin took in meeting with Middle East politicians may have altered our time line and caused the world we live in to be so different from what he thought was encoded. If you must buy any Bible Code book from Drosnin, get his first book as a starting point, and note the divergence from what he predicted there for yourself. But if you really want to understand how the Code appears to work, and learn how to determine the statistical significance of a Bible Code matrix, buy ARK CODE.
