I was in the hot tub again, listening to the weekly Torah portion, the water cooling around me, steam long gone, but my mind still warm from the day. The phone screen glowed in my hand, and I hit play on another Rabbi Matityahu Glazerson video. His voice came through—thick Latvian-Russian accent, Hebrew words tumbling fast, English mixed in like it was fighting to keep up.
I smiled. Friends always said the same thing: “I tried, but I can’t understand a word.” They’d quit after thirty seconds. Me? I leaned in. Slowed the speed to 0.75. Paused. Rewound. “What did he say again?” I’d mutter, keyboard open, typing out every line I could catch. Hours went by like that. Not because I’m a genius. Because I love languages.
Mom’s Spanish at home. Hebrew from reading Torah. Even Laotian and Vietnamese customers when I was in the car business years ago—“Sabadee,” “Gao Nam Lai”—simple greetings that made people smile. I’m not fluent in any of them. I just love learning. Enough to hear past the accent. Enough to listen.
3300 Years Ago Torah Codes
That’s how I found the codes. Three thousand three hundred years ago, someone wrote down the Torah. Simple black letters on parchment. They had no computers. No satellites. No news feeds. Yet now? Those letters spell today’s headlines. Glazerson shows it on screen—grids of Hebrew text, red lines highlighting skips.
“Seventh of October” appears vertically in Deuteronomy. Perfect equidistant letter spacing. “Iran” sits right beside it. “Magog begins.” “Hamas invasion.” “War starts the morning after Hoshana Rabbah.” That’s the seventh day of Sukkot. Simchat Torah. October seventh, twenty twenty-three. We were dancing with the Torah scrolls—no walls, no guards—just like Ezekiel 38 described: an attack when Israel dwells securely. Iran? Persia. The head of the coalition. He had the matrix ready two days after the attack. Not after the fact. Before the world even processed what happened.
I went back to his older videos. Twenty fourteen: “MASHIACH – MAGOG- NATIONS.” “Jihad” right in the center. Syria, Palestinians, Arabs all clustered around it. “Mashiach” emerging from the chaos. Professor Robert Haralick’s statistical analysis—one in fourteen thousand chance for “end of days” and “Gog Magog” to cluster like that. One in three thousand five hundred for “Messiah” appearing right next to it. Not guesswork. Not retrofitting. Hidden in the text for millennia. Like the Urim and Thummim stones glowing again, but for our generation.
Math Genius Eliyah Rips
The real mind behind it all was Eliyahu Rips. Born in Riga, Latvia, in nineteen forty-eight. His mother survived the Holocaust by hiding in forests. His father fought with the Red Army against the Nazis. The family made it to Israel when he was a child. He earned a PhD in mathematics from Hebrew University and became a professor in geometric group theory—one of the sharpest minds in pure math.
But he started as a skeptic. When he first heard about people finding “codes” in Genesis, he thought it was nonsense. So he built his own software to test equidistant letter sequences (ELS). He expected to disprove it. Instead, he found rabbi names, birth dates, and death dates encoded in the text with probabilities that screamed design.
That brings us to the 1994 paper itself—the one that started everything. It’s called “Equidistant Letter Sequences in the Book of Genesis,” published in the respected peer-reviewed journal Statistical Science (Vol. 9, No. 3, pp. 429–438). The authors are Doron Witztum, Eliyahu Rips, and Yoav Rosenberg. Rips was the mathematician who developed the software and ran the tests.
The Urim and Thummim
The paper is short, dense, and technical, but its conclusion is stunning: when you treat the Book of Genesis as a two-dimensional array and look for equidistant letter sequences (letters spaced equally apart that spell meaningful words), you find pairs of related words appearing in close proximity far more often than random chance would allow.
The key experiment: they took a list of famous rabbis and their birth and death dates. Then they searched the Hebrew text of Genesis for ELS versions of the rabbis’ names and the dates. They measured how close those encoded names and dates appeared to each other in the text. To test if it was a chance, they ran 99,999 random permutations of the text and compared the results.
The observed clustering was so tight that the p-value came out at 0.00002—meaning the odds of it happening by random chance are about 1 in 50,000. The journal editors were impressed enough to publish it with a note saying they believed the results were real.
Holocaust Survivors to Math Pioneer
Rips didn’t set out to prove anything mystical. He was a pure mathematician trying to debunk what he thought was a silly claim. Instead, the data convinced him.
He co-authored the paper, defended it for years, and later collaborated with Glazerson on books and lectures. He passed away last July at seventy-five. From a child of Holocaust survivors to the pioneer who proved the codes are real. That’s not coincidence. That’s the Torah saying: “I wrote this for you. For now.”
Haralick—Brooklyn-born mathematician, former Boeing chair, pattern-recognition expert—ran his own independent tests. He confirmed: “This is real.” Harold Gans—twenty-eight years as an NSA cryptologist breaking enemy codes—tested rabbi names with birth and death places.
Intelligence That Can Be Trusted
His conclusion: “If this were enemy intelligence, I’d trust it completely.” Moshe Koppel—Israeli-American computer scientist—focused on authorship analysis, but his work supported the overall integrity of the text. These aren’t rabbis or mystics. They’re scientists. Skeptics who became believers because the math didn’t lie.
Three thousand three hundred years ago, Moses wrote down the Torah. Today, we see “October seven,” “Iran,” “Gog,” “Magog,” “Hamas,” “invasion” spelled out in the same letters. The grids. In precise skips. In probabilities that defy chance. Glazerson’s accent is thick. But I paused. I would have to replay the video over and over. I listened. And I heard.
End Of The Darkness
Here are some of Rabbi Glazerson’s most current Torah codes from his YouTube channel (as of March 2026). These matrices show the year 5786 tied to Messiah, repentance, Purim patterns, Passover, and Iran threats—right as events unfold. Pause the videos at these timestamps and see the letters line up yourself:
- Festival Passover 5786-2026 Messiah Elijah in Bible Code (March 2026) Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DLJxuEAm3Q Key code: “Passover festival” + “Messiah Elijah” clustered. Timestamp ~1:40–1:49: Matrix zoom on “Messiah” in red. Ties to redemption after Gog-like trials.

- List of Significant Bible Code Tables for this Year 5786 \ 2026 (February 2026) Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2Z5ts1xL1Q Key code: Multiple tables for 5786—repentance, Messiah, end-times. Timestamp ~0:14–0:25: List of codes including year 5786. Overview of 2026 as pivotal.
The Star of Jacob Prophecy Has Begun
These are the most recent/active ones with visible matrices (grids) — perfect for screenshots in your chapter. They emphasize 5786 (2026) as a year of the Messiah, repentance, and shaking related to Iran.
Christian friend, Messianic brother: You waited for signs in the sky or in dreams. We had them hidden in the text—spelling headlines before they happened. Torah is more than proof. This is footage shot live. This is the album we didn’t lend. It’s playing.
