Movie Plot is Surprisingly Close to the Truth
By James Donahue
There was a lot of hype a few years back about the 1999 Hollywood film "The Omega Code," a science-fiction thriller about some Bible scholars who discover a secret code in that ancient book that gives a formula for controlling the world. Naturally the plot turns into a fast-paced thrill ride, where the good guys battle the elements of evil over computer disks or tapes which contain this deadly information.
The movie appears to be a contemporary version of the old Bible prophecy about the rise of the antichrist and his sidekicks, the beast and the false prophet, who proceed to take over the world and launch the predicted seven years of tribulation. As I understand it, the villain in the story is a dark individual who wears black and uses advanced computer technology to break codes.
The creator of this movie plot was obviously drawing information from the collective unconsciousness of the universe, because the story is so close to the truth it is a little spooky.
There is, indeed, a code in the Bible. Scholars who study such things have discovered that anyone who goes back to the ancient Hebrew or Greek text, and then sets aside certain letters in a sequence (I heard its every 10th letter in a line although various other combinations work), and place them side by side, they spell out words in that language. The words contain names of people and things that sometimes can be interpreted as a message.
There was so much interest in this discovery that some computer programmers developed software that will explore the scriptures for you, find key words and interpret them in English.
The Christian world gleefully grabbed this information to promote its sacred book as something even more wonderful than was originally thought. What they didn’t know is that they were discovering something about ourselves that we should have been aware of for thousands of years, but forgot.
Any book in your house, even the Sunday newspaper, or this column, contains the same "code" or secret message. We all do it. With a little experimentation you can break the code on your own and you don't need a fancy computer game to help you.
Start by taking every third or fourth letter, and if that doesn't work, increase it to fifth and sixth, until you start seeing complete words emerge. Once you find the right formula, you have broken the code of that particular writer. Examine the words and you find the subconscious thought that went on as the writer did his work.
Another way of breaking the code is by using a tape recorder that will play your message backwards. Read the sentences aloud into the tape recorder then play the message backwards. You will hear English words emerge from the strange sounds of backward speech. Once you hear a word, look for the pattern of letters in the sentence that make up that word and count the number of characters between them. That will give you the formula.
What I am saying is that the Bible is not an amazing book from God that is filled with secret messages that can be used by the antichrist to take over the world. It is a book written by men who did the same thing we all seem to do; they spoke from their subconscious mind when they talked and wrote words.
When you work on the formula, be prepared for a shock or two. Sometimes the words you find in the "code" contradict the message from which it comes. Taped messages of politicians, especially Presidents, have revealed lies and deceit when played backwards. Don't expect to find complete sentences. Just words, when joined, sometimes give you a message.
The men who wrote the Bible, indeed, placed subconscious messages within its pages. Dig them out and you might be surprised at what they say. There might even be a few lines of truth to be found. That's more than I can promise for the rest of the book.
Since God is an internal force, living in all of us, it is my belief that anything any of us writes on paper can be interpreted as something just as holy as the words in the scriptures. For this reason we should be conscious of who we are when we write and speak. The same messages can be found in the lines of the words we write.
This is the real secret of the Omega Code. Don't let the movie scare you. Just watch and enjoy.
