U.S. Presidents & 2008 Campaign in Torah Code

 (At the bottom of this page, please see summary of results with updated commentary that was posted after the November 4, 2008 election.)

This website focuses primarily on attempts to locate the Ark of the Covenant via the Torah Codes. However the purpose of that search is, in part, an attempt to learn if the Torah Code really does have material encoded that lays out the future of the world similar to the way DNA determines the development of a life form.

Success in looking for events in the past (that were allegedly prerecorded over 3,000 years ago) is often clouded by issues of procedure or loose Hebrew spelling rules for transliterations. In an attempt to learn whether or not the Torah Code names U.S. Presidents, my son (David Roffman) conducted a Science Fair project in late 2005. His results are summarized as the last two tables on this page, and on slide 33 in Part 1 of my slide show. The same show (slides 27-29) lays out the (Bill) Clinton-Lewinski scandal in Torah Codes.

The three 3-part matrices below deal with top three candidates for the U.S. Presidency as of March 6, 2008 (John McCain, Hilary Clinton and Barak Obama). Each combined matrix matches a candidate at his or her lowest ELS with the 4-letter Hebrew word for President; shows the smallest matrix (best match in terms of size) with the candidate and the same word for President (despite the ELS rank of the candidate's name); and finally shows whether a better match can actually found in a non-religious text - a scrambled version of the Torah which serves as the control text on CodeFinder software. Note that it is not unusual for better finds to be discovered in the Control. However, as my son's results for previous U.S. Presidents indicate in the last two tables of this page, we have found that there is a general trend for slightly better results to be in the Torah. A far more complex study with much more significant results was conducted by Dr. Robert Haralick, Distinguished Professor at the City of New York Graduate Studies Computer Science Department.
