I just can't repel the thought that the guy is about to make some cash on that and that's it As we can clearly see - "End of the World Bible Code" prophecies appear almost every second day - Aug. 22nd failed, so maybe 25th... 26th... no? well, maybe in Sep., maybe, maybe...

I guess it's clear that about 99% of the people won't believe that, what leaves us with some 1% of those who will either believe or be in doubt. Let 1% of those buy the new book - what do we see?

It's all down to marketing now: the more people hear the stuff, the more will buy it. Let's assume 100 M will hear the news. of that 1 M will qualify for the "potential buyers" and 10,000 may actually purchase the book.

I don't know the actual writers' remuneration but assume it's around $2 apiece - it's $20,000 for what, a week's work? ("new research")

Of course it's pure speculation but somehow it does appeal to me at least

does anyone know why the bible code 3 has not ben published yet? Michael Drosnins new book was hyped up for release 2 years ago but has never been on sale. Why is that? And where is michael drosnin anyway? Was The Quest, Bible Code 3, ever real?

i would like to know what peoples opinions on the bible codes are and why.

I'll let you know after the election. The bible codes state these things -

- Obama will get the dem nomination.
- Obama will be assassinated.
- Hillary will then take the dem nomination.
- McCain gets the republican nomination.
- McCain has heart problems so his VP (Romney) takes the nomination.
- Hillary v Romney battle ... Hillary wins and is POTUS.

The "Bible Codes", if they exist beyond random probability (there's still a lot of debate about this, but it seems that there might be a bit more than random chance at work here. This fact (as well as other things I have recently discovered) actually has me contimplating the possibility that God does exist, but that's another topic altogether. However, it seems silly to try to use them to predict the future. There are obviously going to be a ton of "codes" that are still there by random chance, and thinking that they are somehow predicting the future is just silly. If the bible codes are "real", all they point to is the fact that somebody - or something - put those codes there, and indiciate a slightly higher level of organization than meets the eye. They're useless for predicting the future, IMO.

The anonymous post above is still the latest information i have been able to obtain with regards Michael Drosnin. That was a year ago.

If Michael Drosnin had any credibility,surely he would have released some sort of statement to his fan base if only to appease curiosity and attempt to secure future book sales.

Fraud!

The Bible Code 3: The Quest has been discontinued and all orders cancelled. According to Amazon.com.

Before it was even released!

Honestly, I don't know what to make of the bible code. My instinct tells me that it's untrue.

Has anyone applied this bible code logic to any modernday fiction. Im sure you can find several 9/11 references in the Starwars script if you play with numbers and letters enough. Some of these bible codes have stuff like, it talks about george bush if you spell his name afnj and then it is clearly all over the bible.
To prove this look at the code it's self. it has never predicted anything, it only talks about the events the author (code reader) already knows about.

Ok I have had this book on my Amazon wishlist for years now and I just went to find a book to buy and thought this should be out by now. 2010??? contents "embargoed"??? Emailed the publisher to see if they could shed any light on this. I enjoyed the first two books and would like to see where Michael Drosnin was taking this 3rd part, but as an agnostic I am a little sceptical of organised religion. Still why is the contents embargoed? I have never seen this before. Little odd in my opinion. I will post the publishers reply if and when I receive one.
