= = = = = Critiquing Drosnin's "codes". by Lori Eldridge Owner of the Tcode mailing list = = = = = Drosnin's "Assassin will assasinate" code: If you will look at Drosnin's code sample on page 28 of his book you will see that the words that coincide with the 2nd letter of Yitzak's name supposedly print out "assassin will assassinate". This code occurs at a skip of 1 which is not a valid code unless it takes a word(s) and makes completely new words out of the letters. For instance taking a few letters from one word and a few letters from the next word and making a new word can constitute a code. What drosnin actually found was words in the surface text (Deuteronomy 4:42) that states in the Hebrew "the slayer who slays". I asked Dr. Price, a Hebrew Professor, about these words and he said: - - - - The words say either (1) the slayer who slays [his neighbor] or (2) the murderer who murders [his neighbor]. The first word is a participle used as a noun, so it must be translated "slayer/murderer"; the third word is a verb in the active voice, subjunctive mood; so it should not be translated as a passive ("be slain/murdered"). Either (1) or (2) is possible, but the context prefers (1) because in the hypothetical case, the person who had killed his neighbor had not as yet been investigated by the judge to determine whether he was guilty of murder or of accidental manslaughter. The English versions rearrange the word order to improve clarity. The NKJV reads: "that the manslayer might flee there, who kills his neighbor unintentionally, without having hated him in time past, and that by fleeing to one of these cities he might live." - - - Drosnin took these three words and changed them as follows: "Slayer" (#7523 verb participle used as a noun)-- to Assasin. This is not accurate because the text is speaking about an accidental slaying and Drosnin is looking for a word speaking of deliberate murder, i.e., assassin. "who" (#834) to "will". #834 is a relative pronoun usually translated as: who, which, that, so that, etc., In this instance it is translated as "who". Also the word "will" is usually part of the verb and not separate from it. "slays" (#7523 verb) to "assasinated". (see above about assasinated not being accurate) Therefore Drosnin did not find new words as he has led us to believe. He just distorted the interpretaion of the words already there. And being as his interpretation is not accurate and these words are already on the surface text they are also not a valid code. = = = = = Drosnin's "Clinton & President" on Pg 32: On page 32 Drosnin claims he has found the name of "Clinton" and "President" connected. However after doing some checking I found the following: The word Clinton is a phonetic spelling and spans from the book of Gen 24:8 to the book of Numbers 26:24 --in other words it has a skip of 33,720 for just one letter. This is also the largest skip of 4 occurrances for this word in the Torah. Next to where the name Clinton is found, in the surface text, you will find the word nasi' in Num 7:2 which means prince, ruler, chief or in modern Hebrew president. However, this second word is not even a code because it means Prince, ruler, chief in the surface text. Even if we accept this as a valid code you have to include the *vav* of Clinton and then it takes on an "and" therefore we have, "Clinton" "and a president". I wonder who the president is??? = = = = = Drosnin's "Watergate" and "Who is He? President, but he was kicked out": On page 33 we have what Drosnin claims is a code displaying the words "Watergate" and "Who is He? President, but he was kicked out". "Watergate" is found at a skip of 30,304 for just one letter and spans the Bible from Gen 28:21 to Num 1:34. However this word does not coincide with any Hebrew spelling of either the word "Water" or "Gate" in either a modern nor a biblical hebrew dictionary. Instead it is phonetically spelled out. The other string of words found at a skip of 1 are as follows: (mem hey) #4100 *mah* and means "What?, How? Why? When? I didn't see any mention of "who" in my Heb lexicon for this spelling. (vav-- nun shin yod aleph) #5387, *nasiy'* This is the same word as mentioned above "and a prince/ruler/chief/president". With a vav on the front it serves as a conjunction and could mean "and president" or "but president", etc. (bet yod tav) #1004 *Beth* and means "a house" (aleph, bet lamed) # 58 *'abel* and means "grass" or a "meadow'. (gimel resh shin) # 1644 *garash* and means "to expel". 3rd person singular would make this "he expelled". This verb would need a "nun" on the front of it for it to be transformed into "he was expelled"--which it doesn't have. Therefore we have: "What? And a president of a grass house he expelled." Did president Nixon live in a sod hut? And who was the "he" that expelled him out of this sod hut? = = = = = = Drosnin's prediction of a World war from 2000-2006 on pg 124: His Armageddon code is found In Deut. 11:14-15 where he says, "The two years are encoded in the same verses of the Bible. They overlap each other. 'In 5766' is simply 'in 5760' with one more letter added, spelling out the later year." In other words this code says, "in 5760-6". It seems to me that if God was going to encode a message about a world war he wouldn't use an abbreviation but would spell it out clearly instead of giving us an ambiguous date. This makes it sound like God's omnicience is waning. This means that even if the World war doesn't occur on 5760 he will still be able to sell his book for another 6 years. He also said on page 126, " 'World War'--the ONLY time it is encoded in the ENTIRE bible--appears in the same place [as the years], and crosses one of the sacred verses." (emphasis mine). This word has a skip of 2839, btw. I used his spelling for "World War" and after only searching 2 other books beyond the Torah I found it in the book of Jeremiah. = = = = = = Drosnin's "Delayed" codes: I checked with some Hebrew experts on the Tcode mailing list and the word that Drosnin used for "delayed", in its root form (shin heh heh) can be found over 6,000,000 (6 million) times in the Torah. Also the word he used for holocaust (shin-aleph-he), which is missing a vav and is very controversial, can be found 18,984,680 times in the Torah. In other words, Drosnin sould be able to come up with either of these words in just about every verse of the Torah. Questions: Why didn't he find the word "delayed" next to "ALL" his prophecies? The encoder (who ever Drosnin thinks he is) must have known of the correct date before he ever encoded these "prophecies". So why didn't this encoder give the "real" date instead of just saying "delayed"? ?? = = = = = = I am not a hebrew scholar so if you see any errors in the above please let me know so they can be corrected.
