An Ashland Hebrew scholar, using an Israeli computer system, finds a 22
letter message in Isaiah
Sunday, October 1, 2000 From The Associated Press
ASHLAND -- A Hebrew scholar and a mathematician have found what they
call one of the most significant discoveries in the field of Bible code
research.
Nathan Jacobi, an Ashland scientist and Hebrew teacher, found a
seven-word sentence encoded in the Old Testament book of Isaiah.
"Everybody I've shown it to thinks it's phenomenal," said Jacobi.
The longest code to date had been 13 letters long, but the new code is
22 letters long.
The chances of finding a sentence-length code in a Hebrew text is one
out of 685 billion times 1 billion, said Ed Sherman, an actuary. He owns
an Ashland firm that runs insurance statistics for several Fortune 500
companies.
Jacobi and Sherman's newest code is Shakak Meal Yeshua Shmi Az Sasu
Avim, which is translated into "Gushing over Yeshua was my mighty name
and the clouds rejoiced."
Yeshua is the commonly agreed-upon Hebrew name for Jesus, Jacobi said.
The code was found in Isaiah 53, a text that prophecies the coming of
Jesus Christ as messiah. Scholars attribute the text to a prophet who
lived six centuries before Christ was born.
Jacobi describes his own spiritual beliefs as neither Jewish nor
Christian. Bible codes are found by searching the Hebrew text for
letters at certain intervals to form words. Sherman and Jacobi use an
Israeli computer program that eliminates spaces between words, then
chooses every third letter, for example, to find hidden messages.
