Preface

This book is the story of one person's lifetime search, over 65 years, for a Scientific Proof of God. In order to enable the results of such a long investigation to be appreciated, I felt that credibility with the reader might more easily be established by anticipating the whole story of my Search, with an abbreviated analysis first, to try to get the whole into perspective, before starting in Chapter 1 on the story as a whole. Hence this Preface.

My early life

This book came about because, at an early age, following an education in science and being brought up to be a little reserved about religion, I became a convinced atheist.

At 19 years of age, during World War II, I joined the Royal Navy. I was an Atheist. I had an unusual spiritual experience whilst engaged in an air/sea battle in a naval destroyer in which I was serving, defending a convoy of Allied supply ships off the coast of North Africa in support of the American First Army landings there in 1942, under General Eisenhower. This made me think a little, even though I wrote it off in my mind at the time as a probable "hallucination". At the end of World War II I met and married my most lovely Welsh wife, Hazel. At the time she was serving in the women's branch of the Royal Navy. She was a true Christian-by-Faith and lived as such from the heart. I, myself, found this type of faith impossible to achieve, and had found it impossible to overcome my scepticism. Hazel's example, however, inspired me to spend most of my spare time from my normal career and a wonderfully happy family life with our four lovely children, searching all the science that I possibly could, for the Scientific Proof of God.

The discovery of the Bible Code

It was not until 50 years later that I found it in the form of the discovery of the Torah Bible
Code in the late 1990s.

The Bible Code Story sounds ridiculous, to the point that it could not possibly be true, but it is true and this (my) book, I think, proves it to be so.

The Story was of a Jewish Rabbi, Rabbi Michael Weissmandl, living in Czechoslovakia during the 1940s, who came from a long line of Hebrew Rabbis. He had always believed that the first five Books of the Hebrew Bible, which is the same as the Old Testament of the Christian Holy Bible, contained coded messages which predicted all the important happenings of modern man.

These five Books, Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, are known by the
Hebrews as, collectively, the Torah. Orthodox Hebrews have always believed: (i) that the Torah was composed by God, personally;
(ii) that its contents were historically a literally true story;
(iii) that God handed the Torah to the Children of Israel, via Moses, just 50 days after
Moses had led them out of their slavery in Egypt to seek out "the promised land". At the time the Torah was handed to them, they were sojourning in the wilderness near Suez, next to the mountain called Sinai;
(iv) that God decreed that all future Hebrew Rabbis (Priests) should be descended from the stock of Aaron, the Hebrew deputy leader. I do not know why, but have always wondered if it was not done to perpetuate a genetic memorising ability?
(v) that, in handing the Torah to the Israelites, God had encoded into it a text which, in addition to the surface story, spelled out coded predictions of the important events that would take place in the future world, thousands of years later;
(vi) that God decreed that the rabbis were to learn the Torah by heart word by word and letter on letter and to hand it on, with all letters absolutely intact, from generation to generation until the end of time, when God would have achieved his purpose in the world to the point of him wanting Man to know of the predictions. The Hebrew Priests have, in fact, preserved the letter-by-letter order and content of the entire Torah to this day, and do still believe firmly in the whole story, as outlined above.

Among the Jews under Hitler

Rabbi Weissmandl lived under Hitler and the Nazis. His whole family of wife and five children were slaughtered in the gas chambers of the Holocaust. He felt that he was close to being able to translate the Bible Code to produce the expected predictions. Records of his research were lost in the Holocaust, but he managed, himself, to survive, having sawn through the steel bars of his prison truck, which was taking him to Auschwitz. He used a hacksaw blade that he had hidden in a loaf of bread.

After World War II was over, he left Europe for America. There he met other Jews who happened to be working with those newly developed machines, the computers.

The first ever computer was developed at Bletchley, in England, by a British mathematician called Turing, aided by a US mathematician called Neumann, to break down the coded military messages used by the Nazi Germans to communicate with their submarines (so-called U-boats) working in the Atlantic and elsewhere in the German war effort. Weissmandl persuaded his fellow Jews in America to let him use their computers to see whether, by chance, they could break the Torah Bible Code.

LO AND BEHOLD, HE SUCCEEDED. HE HAD BROKEN THE BIBLE CODE.
