The bible code is not a prophecy its not meant to have predicitions. The bible code fact has detailed descriptions about our past, more than in any other text that any skeptic has put forward and against higher odds than any skeptic has found.
You may finds code about our future by looking for 2005/06/07 etc but just like in other texts you will get lots of useless random codes mixed in that may seem relevant but are not. So loads of people have found millions of supposed codes about future years posted them and they havent come true so everyone discredits the bible code.
The bible code doesnt make predicitions its my belief that they are a warning not prophesy. Although our future aswell as our past must be encoded as it was compiled 3000 years ago.

Wow. I can only imagine the debate going on in your head concerning the bible and God
with your newfound discovery. Good luck with that, sincerely.
I read your comments to be relating that past and future events must be encoded into the bible. (not sure why you believe that to be true because it was compiled 3000 yrs. ago, but were not discussing that right now),
The bible was encoded when the torah was passed down character by character to moses on mount sinai and told never to be changed according to legend this is why alot of great thinkers in our time have thought the torah to be encoded, isaac newton is a famous example.
but previously you said that when these future events are found in the bible, they are useless and random.
Using equidisant letter sequences (the method of creating the codes) on any text can give startling relevant codes about past events its just a side affect of using els. This is a popular skeptics tool to dismiss the bible code.
So you can find loads of codes in the torah that mean nothing but seem relevant that are just there by chance mixed in with true encodings. Alot of these codes about the future are just the side affect of the els and not actual encodings.
Some have hypothesised that the torah is encoded with every possible future and its up to us using free will to decide which will come true a kind of warning but im not sure about that to the best of my knowledge having been a skeptic and the fact you can find seemingly relevant codes in any text leads me to belive they are just random code that are actually irrelevant.
A few predictions have been found to come true tho as stated in previous posts but very few as it is hard to distinguish seemingly relevant codes from the actual encodings.
This has lead to lots of websites that have looked up using bible code software the years 2006 and onwards etc etc found all these codes about comets and disease etc etc and when they havent happened instantly assumed the bible code isnt real.
I hope i explained my self a bit beta now. Let me know what u think.

You see al tho u have found a bible code that states this, it doesnt mean it will come true the chances are it could just be accidental code not an encoding.
You should really understand the bible code a bit more before posting that this will happen, the bible codes have the future encoded, BUT most of the codes you will find are just nonsense that happen by chance, not real encodings.
Read above posts or read this link if you dont understand its very hard to explain.

I admit i am no knowledge fountain but on this subject i know i have read enough evidence on both sides as a non religious person to be able to put forward some valuable insights to people out there about the bible codes.
I invite questions and i will give answers to the best of my understanding, you care to tell me MasterReagal why you are so skeptical?

I think the bible codes have many flaws, and why is it only the Torah that can so call accurately "predict" events... why not also use the Koran or the Tripitaka or any other religious texts for that matter? What makes the Torah superior than all other religious texts? I'm a Christian and yet I am able to see the many flaws in religion.
The mathimatical and statistical probilities are far to great to say for sure that the bible codes are true.
