ELS and the Code

A common method of deciphering the code is by extracting a Equidistant Letter Sequence or ELS. To use ELS, one must pick a starting point letter and then choose a skip number. With equal spacing, count past as many letters as your skip number provides and then circle the next letter. Once a word is found in the ELS code, you may continue to try and trace longer words or sentences. This is known as an ELS extension.³

Theomatics and the Code

Theomatics is another way to decipher the code. Based in numerological study, one must correlate the numbers of the alphabet into numbers. Since the Hebrew and Greek alphabets have standard numeric values attached to individual letters, the same can be applied to words. For example, adding up the numeric value of the word Jesus would total 888 and if the name were used in a phrase in the bible the entire phrase could be added up as well. By adding up these numeric values in words and phrases, a deciphering of dates, names, and places can be translated, predicting historical events centuries before happening.⁴
