ATTACK IRAN 5770 (2009-2010)

     Even Michael Drosnin’s best seller, THE BIBLE CODE, published back in 1997 admitted that finding dates for an event in the Bible Code was very difficult.  In fact, there has been just about zero success in this area after one such claim about the date of the first Scud missile attack on Israel back in 1991.  Nonetheless, when we find what looks like an event that has yet not happened, there is always the desire to see if there is a date associated with it.  So it is with this matrix.  Found late in the evening of October 4, 2009, it has as the axis term (first term sought) the noun for ATTACK in sequence with IRAN  at skip 79,410 (ELS rank #1, wrapped matrix required).  The current Hebrew year (5770) is on the matrix at the same skip, but a row split of 3 is necessary to see it.  Touching a letter yud of IRAN isYOU WILL BE DESTROYED.  The 4-letter Hebrew abbreviation for USA is parallel to ATTACK IRAN and 5770.  ISRAEL (a high frequency, statistically low significance term) is on the matrix, but not in any astounding fashion

      Why is this a dangerous prediction?  Aside from the issue of what it describes and the enormous consequences of such an act, if deliberately encoded, there is more than one way to interpret it.  For example, the phrase YOU WILL BE DESTROYED can have a dual meaning.  True, it touches Iran, but it's also true that it's from a verse those bodes ill for Israel (Deuteronomy 28:24).  The full verse reads, "HaShem will make the rain of your Land dust and dirt, from the heaven it will descend upon you until you are destroyed."  We are left to pray that if needed, Israel's anti-missile defenses will not fail to destroy what Iran would have descend by rocket on Israel.  This includes not only missiles based in Iran, but those based on Lebanon and Gaza. 

     The Codes issue here is how far to extend the matrix with respect to matrix area.  As for statistics, there was about 1 chance in 62 that we would find the year 5770 at a special case skip of +1, -1, N (the skip of the axis term - here 79419) or -N.  The chance for USA to be on the matrix somewhere was about 1 in 2.7.  The odds that ISRAEL would be on the matrix at skp +1 were about 1 chance in  2.8.  Combined p value for the matrix with no value added for the axis term ATTACK IRAN, or for the a posteriori phrase YOU WILL BE DESTROYED, is .0021 or about one chance in 467.

     One final word for Prime Minister Netanyahu.  Attack Iran is you must, but do it with Torah behind you.  Your speech at the U.N. on September 24, 2009, was superb, but in calling for sympathy for homosexuals, you linked Israel with what the Torah sees as criminal behavior meriting capital punishment (Leviticus 18:22, and most especially Leviticus 20:13).  You can not expect Divine support for a secular agenda.  Go forth with Torah as your standard, and remember that it is not up to man to rewrite His Law.
