Why have the controversial Bible Codes astounded researchers world-wide?

Because 3,000 year old writings seem to predict such modern events as:
The assassination of former Israeli Prime Minister Yitzchak Rabin
The plague of AIDS
The 1995 bombing of the federal building in Oklahoma, and the name of convicted terrorist Timothy McVeigh
Tensions and peace negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian Labor Organization
in this book best-selling author Grant Jeffrey shows why the modern discovery of ancient Bible Codes propelled the topic to the best-seller list of the New York Times. Taking the Codes out of the scholar's study and making them understandable to non technical readers, Jeffrey shows how the Codes prove that the Bible is true.

The author reveals codes that Hebrew scholars have been deciphering for years. Now using techniques made available only by the development of modern computer programs, Jeffrey shows that codes also appear in the New Testaments.

This book reports on the publication of the Codes, in 1988, not by Bible scholars but by mathematics and computer experts in this country and Jerusalem. In his easy-to-read style Jeffrey even invites the reader to participate in this exciting new field of study. He points to Internet web sites and word-search suggestions that equip non-specialists with research techniques never before available.

The author's clear explanantion of the codes and their significance, plus his highly accessible style, make this book essential reading for everyone who is interested in how the Bible speaks to modern times.
