It all appears very quaint, but they left out the error factors from astrology. When the moon is in the 7th house and Jupiter aligns with Mars, the Hebrew characters should have undergone a randomize. Furthermore, according to scientology, Hubbard's Dianetics should have been translated to Hebrew and inserted in the Bible text every other character, to produce the required matrimony that pans out God's opinion on Dianetics as it relates to the end-time prophesy of Armageddon. From a top-down approach, the entire Bible should be re-written using the same number each of the Hebrew characters, so that it says exactly what Husein wants it to say, and predicts the next horse race for the money. Is there an interactive web site yet, where you can input what you you want to know about, where a Bible Codes program crunches out the answer?
