Have you checked the latest HERESCOPE? Posted May 17, 2012 THE EMERGING ENIGMA BIBLE By Gaylene Goodroad COSMS, CODES, AND CRYPTOLOGIES, Part 3 ...[O]nce someone decides they can cherry-pick verses at will, —Pastor Gary Gilley*
ENIGMA: A saying, question, picture, etc., containing a hidden meaning.** The study of “cosmic codes” and related occult methodologies did not originate with Chuck Missler, but from the ancient sages and Jewish mystics who generated the occult body of mystical writings called the Kabbalah. Missler acknowledges this fact himself in Chapter 10 of Cosmic Codes called, “The Skipping of Letters.” He favorably examines the teachings of a few of these Kabbalistic scholars—men such as 12th century Rabbi Moses ben Nachmanides, and 18th century rabbi, Eliyahu ben Shlomo or Vilna Gaon. Who are these men and what did they teach? According to the Jewish Virtual Library: Nachmanides had a strong mystical bent. His biblical commentaries are the first ones to incorporate the mystical teachings of kabbalah.[i] The late Christian apologist John Weldon, in Decoding the Bible Code, reports that Rabbi Vilna Gaon “was subject to strong occult influences” such as “mysticism, mystical revelations, ‘angels, and other celestial beings,’ the dead, and out of body experiences.”[ii] Read the entire post: www.herescope.net

Posted May 14, 2012 COSMIC CRYPTOLOGY IN THE CHURCH By Gaylene Goodroad COSMS, CODES, AND CRYPTOLOGIES, Part 2 Are we in possession of messages of extraterrestrial origin? If so, what do they mean? What do these messages from the edge of eternity portend for the future? What has the science of cryptology revealed about these ancient texts? Is our universe itself a "digital message"? Do these messages explain the interval between the miracle of our origin and the mystery of our destiny? Read the implications of our finite universe and the shocking discoveries of quantum physics at the very boundaries of reality and learn their significance to our origin and personal destinies! (Koinonia House advertisement for Cosmic Codes Chuck Missler’s Cosmic Codes: Hidden Messages from the Edge of Eternity is a 535-page textbook for the Koinonia Institute Bible Course, BTE 620: Introduction to Biblical Cryptology.[i] Here is a description from the KI [Koinonia Institute] Handbook: This course includes an introduction to cryptography (the study of secret writing), with a survey of codes and ciphers: transpositions and monoalphabetic, polyalphabetic, and polygraphic substitutions. It explores the surprising use of encryptions in the Biblical text, including—but not limited to—the controversial equidistant-letter-sequences which have been so fancifully promoted. Microcodes ("jots and tittles"), Macrocodes (strategic anticipatory structures) and Metacodes (beyond the boundaries of physical reality) are explored. Paracryptology and extraterrestrial communication investigations are also highlighted.[ii] Did you understand this quote? In order to interpret it one must use interchangeable language pulled from New Age physics** where “microcosm” becomes “microcode,” “macrocosm” becomes “macrocode,” and “metacosm” becomes “metacode.” These, and other terms linked to mystical, occultic, and arcane ideas, are vigorously used and taught in Cosmic Codes. This includes numerous highly unusual and extra biblical words that read like codes themselves—terms such as cryptography, cryptanalysis, cryptology, encipher, encode, ciphertext, cryptogram, decipher, decode, acrostic, and anagram. Chuck Missler defines these secret code practices: Some [codes], we discover are hidden behind, or underneath, our day-today- traffic of ideas. The ones which are hidden usually reveal an ulterior intent or purpose…. From the ancient palaces of our earliest cultures to the super-secret “black chambers” of our most modern command posts, the art of secret writing—and the science of their decipherment—have determined the course of history. Cryptology—the study of secret codes and ciphers—has also been stimulated by its use in literature.[iii] [bold added, italics in original] De-Coding the Bible It is significant that the word “occult” means “hidden” or “secret.”[iv] The idea that the LORD God would imbed secret knowledge in His Word—requiring believers to “decrypt” it by using worldly techniques—soars to the heights of blasphemy. “Cryptological Bible study” is totally foreign to the Bible’s plain teachings and precepts.
