Bible codes are various kinds of patterns identified in the subtext of the Bible which some [[Christians]] and [[Jews]] think were put there deliberately, for a purpose, by God or by the writers of the original texts.
All human languages have patterns, and, when put into written form, many of these patterns are easily noticed. But, among those who believe that at least some of the subtextual patterns in the Bible are unique to literature, there is the contention that one or more profound dynamics are uniquely involved in these patterns in the Bible. On the conservative side, there is a wide acceptance of the idea that some of these patterns were created by the original Hebrew scribes in order to help preserve the exactness to which the texts were copied, and to detect inferior copies that might be made by ignorant or nefarious persons. But, on the side of some ‘Bible Code’ zealots, there has been every manner of attempt to create a stir in favor of the idea that at least some of these patterns constitute a kind of high-tech mechanism for predicting any number of trivial and non-trivial future events.
A kind of 'Bible code' made popular in the last century is that found by equidistant letter sequencing, or ELS. Papers on these 'ELS codes' were published in recent decades by various mathematicians, including Israeli [[Eliyahu Rips]] and [[Doron Witztum]].
