Anyone remember “The Bible Code”, a best-selling book about what happens when you run certain letter patterns through a computer? That was debunked when people started doing the same thing with Harry Potter, Danielle Steel books, etc. :dubious: 2006 is almost 10 years ago. Wow. Time flies. ---

And today we can note that Barack Obama has 11 letters. I know he wasn’t president then or when this thread started, but if he can go back in time to insert the birth notice in the Honolulu Newspaper he must have some responsibility! ---

The current President has 6 letters in his first name, 6 in his middle name, and 6 in his last name. Of course you have to spell it “Barack Hussei Nobama” for this to work, but the Bible tells us that the Antichrist won’t be easy to spot. ---
