In this volume Jeffrey Satinover attempts to explore the truth behind the Bible Codes, proving it's validity through mathematics and science , including quantum physics.
There are also some interesting perspectives on the metaphysical element behind the holocaust and the Gulf Wars.
The book outlines the remarkable story of Rabbi Michael Ber Weissmandl and his work to save Jews from the infernos of the Shoah , in any way possible.
The author illustrates how the secrets of the universe are hidden in the Torah and in the chapter entitled 'The Flames of Amalek' he quotes Rabbi Tzadok HaCohen (1823-1900): "In physical space , Amalek is sworn to prevent Israel from dwelling in the Land",
The real reason behind the vast conspiracy to destroy the People of Israel in the Land of Israel , going on today.
That is what anti-Zionism is, the evil of Amalek , the ungodly determination to prevent Jews from living in the Land of Israel.
Amalek is the Jew-hating spirit that tries to destroy the people of Israel In the words of the Passover Haggada: "In every generation there are some who rise against us to annihilate us."
In the Bible's Book of Esther, the evil Haman, who tried to exterminate the Jewish people, was Amalek. Before that, at the time of Israel's exodus from Egypt, it was Amalek (Exodus 17:8) that attacked Israel - the people that God had blessed. In fact, it was that very blessing - God's blessing - that provoked Amalek to swoop down on the people from behind, to attack and kill the weakest.
Amalek fiercely envies Israel; Amalek is furiously jealous. Amalek tries to kill and maim as many Jews and their friends and allies as possible, starting with the weakest: the mothers with children, the elderly, the sick and the babies. Amalek prefers to kill children and women. Hard to believe as it may be, Amalek dances in the streets at the prospect of human (particularly, Jewish) suffering - even if the joyful dancers are doomed to die in the inferno themselves!
The book outlines the miracles of the First Gulf War , when Saddam Hussein-who modelled himself on Nebuchadnezzar , and whose primary aim was the destruction of Israel-sent missiles of mass destruction into Israel , there was not one Israeli fatality. These Scuds where not minor missiles as the media outside Israel tried to portray them , but very destructive.
The single scud that strucka US millitary facility in Saudi Arabia killed nineteen soldiers. 33 scuds where sent into Israel damaging 3, 773 buildings.
This phenomenon has no scientific explanation and can only be explained as the work of G-D in protecting the People of Israel.
Quoting the then President of Israel Chaim Herzog adressing the nation on February 22, 1991 : " The Jewish nation witnessed many miracles in it's history , from the splitting of the Red Sea to this very day . This time , as well , we where blessed with divine intervention."
The hand of G-D clearly guided the scuds to avoid any Israeli fatalities. These events are hiddn in the Bible Codes.
Am Israel Chai.
This chapter also focuses on the Nuremberg trials , where the ten Nazi leaders hung for crimes against humanity , mirrored the ten sons of Haman hung for their plot to anihilate the Jews in Ancient Persia , commemorated by the Jewish feast of Purim.
Satinover reports several mathematicians and scienists who where confirmed atheists , who became devoutly religious after studying the Bible codes.

It's a scholarly well-written treatment of the phenomenon of the Bible codes. The author doesn't tell the reader what to think.
Quote from the book, " ... When desktop computers had become thousands of times faster than the building-size device invented by Von Neumann and used by Turing, the Torah codes yielded to strategies similar to the Allies cryptographic efforts. Outrageous as it must seem - as it remains to frustrated critics - should the evidence thus uncovered remain unrefuted, the results will be explainable in but one way: Men 3000 years ago couldn't possibly have written the Torah; neither could men of any age, our own included.
But whoever wrote it had apparently done so in just the way the ancient Jewish tradition had long insisted God had: with excruciating attention to its precise, letter-by-letter sequence.
What would such an astounding finding mean? In the last analysis, each person must decide for himself. As Professor David Kazhdan, chairman of the Department of Mathematics at Harvard was quoted as saying in a 1996 newspaper interview, "The phenomenon is real; what it means is up to the individual."
