Twilight Zone theme plays in the background,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Bible Code : A Journey to Judgment Day (Paperback)
Comes across as a nutty book, all 120 pages of it. Want examples?Well, according to ELS (equidistant letter sequences) found in Torah, Dan Harlap claims in pgs 105-108 that he is none other than the reincarnations of Rabbi Moshe Chaim Luzzatto, who is apparently the reincarnation of Rabbi Moshe Cordovero himself. Want another? A chapter entitled "Synopsis of Eliahu's Death" is about the death of an executive of a bus transportation company, who died in a hospital following open heart surgery. This man was a witness in a fraud investigation. Say what? (and who cares? and what does this have to do with Judgement Day?). Well, in the Torah, and ELS sequence, "Dan shall judge his people as one of the tribes of Israel", indicated to the author that he, Dan, was "being tested by God" in order to prove this was in fact a foul murder. Oakaaay. He then goes about listing a series of matrices and ELS sequences to prove this (one which mentions Eliyahu was blind in one eye), which are actually interesting. He also claims that he has had numerous mystical experiences as well as messages via dreams and unexplained events. I'm not saying he didn't, but he doesn't go into even one single example of this. Want more? A chapter entitled "The Psychology of Money" is a rant against materialism. That would be fine, but it's the US that is used exclusively as the foul materialistic example (excuse me, HELLO, what about the rest of the world?). There are also passages that rail against US third world policies. Fine again, but what does is have to do with the Bible Code? Judgement Day and a future holocaust due to God's angry vengeful wrath! And the chapter ends with the statement charity should be given on a "macroeconomic scale" to Israel, where 16% of the people live below the poverty line. This would resolve in tensions between Sephardic and Ashkenazi, between secular and orthodox, and Israel would become a heaven on earth. When this happens, all the Jewish people in the world will emigrate to Israel, it will become a light to nations, and the holocaust will be avoided (are the Palestinians simultaneously emigrating out?). He adds as an aside that "probably" other countries will follow suit and then the whole world will become a utopia. The book ends with a description of the author's sadness of the death of Glenn Gould the pianist, and an ELS that has Gould's name and musician in it. What does this have to do with judgement day? Well, heavan would be a bad place without music. I read Drosnin's book and that seemed far more scientifically balanced. Drosnin focused on events that had already happened to prove the possibility that the Bible Code theory was credible. Since then, and in a NYTimes article and on the evening news, it was stated the Bible Code was "disproved" using one of Tolstoys books . The author Harlap touches on this briefly and unsatisfactorily. I would have liked a much more in-depth examination against this proof. I'm giving this book more than one star because 1) entertainment value, 2) the matrices and ELS sequences he comes up with are interesting, although warning! Since Hebrew contains no vowels, it's very easy to make a sequence of letters sound like an intended word while it really isn't. This was the argument used against the claims that Jesus was encoded in an ELS in the Torah. So unless you are a Hebrew scholar who is fluent in the language, take the ELS's with a grain of salt or get someone to go over them for you. And 3) the best part of the book was at the very beginning, where the author talks about time traveling at different speeds in different circumstances, and about the possibility of alternate duplicate worlds coexisting with ours which are separated by events, not by time, especially one world directly preceding ours by an event. The phrase "as above so below" is actually a Gnostic and Hermetic one, and dates back to 2nd century at least. The "two of everything"theory is even implied in Euripedes The Bachae, indicating it might have been older than that. Harlap believes it's a mechanism for explaining free will and God's complete knowledge (or fate if you will) coexisting simultaneously. (...)

The Bible Code : A Journey to Judgment Day,

This review is from: The Bible Code : A Journey to Judgment Day (Paperback)
As Bible Code researchers strive to find a mutually acceptable means of evaluating the statistical significance of Bible Code plots, Dan Harlap's new book, THE BIBLE CODE, A Journey to Judgment Day, does a superb job of reminding us that the Bible Code is only one branch of closely related or interrelated kabbalistic beliefs. His book combines ELS codes and gamatria to show us how the Codes may provide a means to navigate through our past lives (Jewish mysticism does endorse the idea of reincarnation, and even the Nazarene stated that, "You must be born again."). Harlap also shows that the Code, if validated, may help with criminal investigations. Many readers, however, will be most intrigued by Mr. Harlap's suggestions that we are indeed in the Final Days of G-d's great plan. My own interest in the Bible Code is focused on two domains: evaluating the mathematical significance of Codes matrices and testing the validity of the Codes by way of finding extraordinary corroborating physical evidence. As I explained to the First International Congress of Torah Codes in Jerusalem in 1999, I will not personally be satisfied that the Code is real until or unless it leads me to the long, missing Ark of the Covenant. My own upcoming book, ARK CODE, will reveal that the Code appears to show great promise in this area. However, lacking this kind of clear proof for now, I find that Mr. Harlap's book offers a much more informed approach than what was found in Michael Drosnin's Bible Code book, or for that matter, what is often posted on Bible Code web sites. As such, I have only two words of advice to readers: BUY IT!Barry Steven Roffman ITCS member
