So you're telling me this is 'just a coincidence'? Then you're the one possessing an in-credible (or un-credible) 'faith', not me...

Profuse apologies yet again... . Yes, I know, a belated follow-up to another belated follow-up, why my middle name is Procrastination et al. But anyhow, did you guess WHICH NATION met the previous specifications? Yep, ya guessed correctly: none other than the country whose humanitarian crisis (following that in Iraq, which admittedly is itself seemingly never-ending also) has been dominating, nay hogging Western and international media sources for the preceding half a dozen or so years, Syria. Okay, so how do I get to that conclusion, or rather what is 'the evidence' in the aforementioned (in previous blogposts, that is)'The Bible Code' and 'The Bible Code 2'? Stay tuned for a forthcoming blogpost, and no, I don't expect you'll necessarily be convinced, just as so many millions upon Planet Earth don't presently accept the evidence arguably all too apparent to one and all about the origin and Originator of life here. And yet as the author of the book of Romans states so very simply yet all so clearly: *'...what MAY be known of God is manifest IN them, for God has shown it TO them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, EVEN HIS ETERNAL POWER AND GODHEAD, so that they are without excuse.' (CAPITALIZATIONS all solely mine.) So let's just say I fully realize and accept that many today no longer hold to the inerrancy of Scripture, and so are hardly likely - actually, perhaps therefore they're on the whole MUCH MORE LIKELY, paradoxically and counter-intuitively enough - to be open to the very idea that hidden within those sacred biblical texts are secret codes delineating some very important aspects of historical events, personages and situations, including pertinent times and places, of course. As well, the 'prophecies' and prophetic insights **contained therein have been suggested by the 'author' - that is, of the actual text of the two Bible Code books - Michael Drosnin, to be ***likely to be CONDITIONAL - i.e. wholly dependent upon the response of the human agents concerned/involved to respond appropriately and in a salvation-embracing way - such 'salvation' MD admittedly seeing as purely a temporal concern as opposed to eternal life-endowing. Thus for example where warnings, at times dire, are contained and expressed, those selfsame warnings can be effectively short-circuited as it were if folk respond aright, for that aforementioned God/Creator/Saviour is oh so 'longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance'. However, as the following verse makes abundantly clear, 'the day of the Lord WILL come...'. So having now set the basic/essential framework and parameters of our forthcoming examination of Syria (etc) amidst said Bible codes, I look forward to your joining me again, sooner rather than later, to explore this matter further. *Scripture taken from the New King James Version.
