The Biblecode

[Oldandeasilyconfused]

The notion of a hidden code in the Torah is very old and accepted by many Talmudic scholars. (pesher)

An Australian biblical scholar, Barbara Thiering, wrote a book, "Jesus The Man" which I read. Whilst reading her book, I felt as I did reading Immanuel Velikovski's "Ages In Chaos". IE that the author was brilliant,erudite and nuts


Theiring used the Pesher technique to reinterpret the NT

Pesher (pl. pesharim) is a Hebrew word meaning "interpretation" in the sense of "solution". It became known from one group of texts, numbering some hundreds, among the Dead Sea Scrolls.

The pesharim give a theory of scriptural interpretation, previously partly known, but now fully defined. The writers of pesharim believe that scripture is written in two levels, the surface for ordinary readers with limited knowledge, the concealed one for specialists with higher knowledge. This is most clearly spelled out in the Habakkuk Pesher (1QpHab), where the author of the text asserts that God has made known to the Teacher of Righteousness, a prominent figure within the history of the Essene community, "all the mysteries of his servants the prophets" (1QpHab VII:4-5). By contrast, the prophets themselves only had a partial interpretation revealed to them.

Some of her reinterpretation: (and review comments)

"Professor Barbara Thiering's reinterpretation of the New Testament, in which the married, divorced, and remarried Jesus, father of four, becomes the "Wicked Priest" of the Dead Sea Scrolls, has made no impact on learned opinion. Scroll scholars and New Testament experts alike have found the basis of the new theory, Thiering's use of the so-called "pesher technique", without substance."[2]
