I like to study the Bible because I love the Lord, and His word has great value to me personally. But I have to be honest: I also study it because it is fun. Not only does the text show divine inspiration on a surface level, but also in very deep mysteries that show the hand of an intelligence far greater than man’s.
One example that people heard a lot of in the 1980’s was Equidistant Letter Spacing (ELS), often called the Bible Code. The original Hebrew text was written as a string of consonants, without the chapter and paragraph …
As you may know from my biography, I used to be an executive at one of the world’s largest corporations. And as you can tell from my posts, I’m a bit of a science geek. So how am I going to tie these two disparate thoughts together? Well, a few years ago, I was late for a meeting.
