America in the Bible code: Introduction
The question of whether or not America is mentioned in Bible prophecy is contentious one which ignites fierce debate amongst students of the Bible. On the one side are those who insist that America is clearly mentioned in books such as Daniel and Revelation, while others argue that Scripture is silent about her destiny. But what if the answer has been hiding in plain sight all along—encoded in the very fabric of the biblical text?
In a previous article, I demonstrated how the name “America” is encoded at an equidistant letter sequence (ELS) within Deuteronomy 30–a passage deeply connected to America’s colonial roots. But today, I am unveiling something even more astonishing: a Bible code that does more than just mention America—but foretells her destiny as a great nation.
This newly discovered code, hidden across multiple books of the Hebrew Bible, is statistically rare and prophetically profound. It not only identifies America by name, but also declares that her rise to global power was foreordained by God–thousands of years before she even existed.
My first long-distance ELS Bible code
Until now, all of the Bible codes I have shared on this blog have been what I refer to as short-distance ELS codes. As I have explained in previous articles, I define short-distance ELS codes as ELS codes which are encoded at letter-skip sequences of <= 150. Because they are encoded at small letter-skip sequences, such codes have small containing passages.
The Bible code that I am about to reveal today is not a short-distance ELS code. Rather, it is what I refer to as a long-distance ELS code, which is another term I coined to denote ELS Bible codes encoded at very large equidistant letter skip sequences. Because they are encoded at such large ELS’s, most of these codes span across multiple books of the canon–a fact which is really remarkable when you stop and think about it.
The reason that I have never shared a long-distance ELS code on this blog until now is because, prior to the discovery of the code I am getting ready to reveal (as well as others which have come to light since then)–I did not think that the existence of long-distance ELS codes was even possible. The reason that I did not believe their existence was possible was rooted in my understanding of the state of the biblical text at the time, which was heavily influenced by an intellectual stumbling block that I refer to as the problem of orthographic diversity.
However, a series of recent discoveries have since altered my views with regard to Bible codes and their limitations, to the point that a significant portion of the conclusions I articulated in this article have now been invalidated. I intend to explain at length how my understanding has been been re-shaped as more recent discoveries have come to light in a future article, but for the time being suffice it to say that I am now a firm believer in the reality of long-distance Bible codes.
In fact my eyes have seen enough evidence at this point that I am left with no other choice but to confidently conclude that their existence is objective, irrefutable, and undeniable–as certain as the laws of gravity.
A Brief Explanation of Bible Code Grids
In most of my previous articles on Bible codes, I have presented the codes in a two-column tabular view format, with the Hebrew text in the right column and the English translation in the left column. However, it is literally impossible to display long-distance ELS codes in this format. Codes embedded within the Bible at extremely large skip sequences must be viewed on the grid–their natural habitat.
I know that there are likely going to be a lot of people reading this who are not acquainted with the concept of the grid, so allow me to take a moment to briefly explain what it is.
When a code researcher executes an ELS search for a specified text-string, the software program scans the entire text of the Hebrew Bible looking for any occurrence of that string at all potential equidistant letter sequences within a specified range.
If the specified string is found encoded anywhere in the Hebrew Bible within that specified range, the computer program removes all spacing from the text of the Bible, and then organizes the entire text into rows consisting of x amount of letters, where x is equal to the number of letter skips that string is found encoded at.
This meticulous restructuring of the text is known as the grid. One consequence of organizing the text in this way is that it causes the encoded string to appear within the grid in a convenient vertical line.
The divine authenticity of any given code is affirmed when it intersects or converges with obvious lines of topical correspondence in the plain-text of the containing passage to form meaningful prophecies and/or statements contrary to the laws of probability.
Bible code grid example
To demonstrate what I have just explained, consider the following example. A search for the string מנרתבני at an ELS of between 2-150 yields 1 positive encryption.1 The program indicates that it is found at an ELS of every 40 letters, beginning in Zechariah 3:8 and ending in Zechariah 4:1. Here’s what that code looks like in the grid:
So to begin, note that the computer program has removed all spacing from the text of the Hebrew Bible, so that what we are left with is the entire text of the Tanakh as one continuous string of letters. In this example, the encoded phrase is found at an ELS of every 40 letters, and therefore the software program has organized the text of the Bible into rows of 40 letters. This causes our encoded string (highlighted in red) to be displayed in a convenient vertical line within the grid as seen in the figure above. As can be seen, the code’s authenticity is attested by the presence of obvious lines of topical correspondence in the plain text of the containing passage (highlighted gray & blue in the grid above).
Note that the number of letters in each row within the grid is by default always equal to the exact number of letter-skips the specified string is found encoded at. Thus, if the encoded string in this example had been found encoded at an ELS of 107 letters instead of 40, the software would have organized the grid into rows consisting of 107 letters. If it had been found at an ELS of 83 letters, the rows in the grid would be 83 letters long. You get the idea.
You can always adjust the length of the lines of the grid manually, but by default–the computer will always divide the text into lines with a number of letters equal to the equidistant letter skip sequence at which the specified text-string is found.2
America in the Bible code revealed
Now that we have a general idea as to how Bible code grids function, we are equipped to receive the revelation. The Bible code I am about to reveal was discovered about a month ago. It constitutes a hidden Bible prophecy which foretells the rise of the United States of America as a mighty and powerful nation.
The entire encoded phrase in this code is eretz America (which could translate as either: “the land of America,” or “the country of America“). Written in Hebrew, this phrase consists of 9 letters.
A search for this phrase within the ELS range of 1-150,000 in the Leningrad Codex yielded one positive hit, revealing that this exact phrase is encoded in this particular edition of the Masoretic text at an ELS of every 48,256 letter skips. This is the one and only time this phrase is encoded in the Hebrew Bible.
Because it is encoded at such a large skip sequence, the entire encoded phrase from beginning to end spans across nine different biblical books, which means that every single letter of the encoded string is found in a different biblical book.
The encoded phrase begins in Numbers 14:15 and ends in Isaiah 24:6, and is found exclusively in the Leningrad codex. The screenshot below documents what the complete code looks like on the grid generated by the computer:
As the encoded phrase is found at an ELS of every 48,256 letters, each line of our grid in this example represents a row of text consisting of 48,256 letters. Obviously, I cannot fit the entirety of the lines on the recreated grid, and there is not a computer screen on earth wide enough to display them even if I could. However, each line of text on the grid above signifies a line of biblical text 48,256 letters long.
As a result of the text being organized in this way, the encoded phrase appears in a vertical line on the grid.
The first letter of the encoded phrase eretz America is the letter aleph in the word ואעשה in Numbers 14:12. When you start at that letter and skip exactly 48,256 letters in the Leningrad Codex of the TaNaKh, you will eventually end up at the letter resh in the word ואשר in Deuteronomy 5:8.
Count another 48,256 letters from that letter, and you end up at the letter tsade in the word תצוה in Joshua 3:8. Continue doing this until you reach Isaiah 24:6, and you will have spelled out eretz America.
Counting 48,256 letters a total of eight times beginning from that first aleph in Numbers 14:12 spells out the phrase ארץ אמריקה (“the land of America“). Again, the entire encoded phrase eretz America from start to finish spans across 9 books of the Hebrew Bible.
I have constructed the table below to show what verse each letter of the code appears in:
| Letter | Verse |
| א | Numbers 14:12 |
| ר | Deuteronomy 5:8 |
| ץ | Joshua 3:8 |
| א | Judges 7:8 |
| מ | 1 Samuel 14:34 |
| ר | 2 Samuel 12:28 |
| י | 1 Kings 11:2 |
| ק | 2 Kings 12:10 |
| ה | Isaiah 24:6 |
Topical relation & meaning
I think the topical relation between the encoded string and its containing passage in this example is self-evident. The encoded phrase (“the land of America“) converges with a line in the plain-text of Numbers 14:12 to form a coherent meaningful prophecy about the future nation of America: “I will make of you a great nation.”
What is so remarkable about this Bible code is that the first letter of the encoded phrase in Numbers 14:12 is also the first letter of the statement of topical correspondence in the plain-text.3 To word that a little differently–both the encoded phrase and the line of topical correspondence just so happen to share the same first letter.
Because they both share the same first letter, the encoded phrase eretz America and the line of topical correspondence converge to form a clean right angle on the grid–an evident token of the code’s deliberate design and the creative genius of the hand responsible.
Thus the encoded phrase converges by divine providence with the line of plain text where it begins, to form one unified cryptic prophecy concerning the future nation of the United States of America:
“The land of America–I will make of you a great nation.“
Living in the early twenty-first century, we possess the knowledge and 2020 hindsight to be able to see that this prophecy has been fulfilled.
The United States is the most prosperous and most powerful nation in the world. Its currency–the US Dollar–has been the world reserve currency since the mid-twentieth century.
Since December of 1991, the United States remains the world’s only remaining superpower.
Not only is America mentioned by name in the Bible, but her greatness and might were foreseen by God and foretold here in a hidden Bible prophecy thousands of years ago.
This cryptic prophecy goes above and beyond merely foretelling the country’s future greatness–it also reveals that it was God himself who was solely responsible for making America into the superpower that she has become.
America in the Bible code: Conclusion
Skeptics might argue that finding “Eretz America” (ארץ אמריקה) as an equidistant letter sequence (ELS) in the Hebrew Bible is nothing more than coincidence. However, the actual mathematical probabilities tell a different story.
The Hebrew Bible (Tanakh) contains approximately 1,196,000 letters. If the text were completely randomized, the probability of any specific 9-letter sequence appearing in exact order would be about 1 in 5.1 trillion per specific sequence.
However, because this Bible code was found using an ELS search range of 1–150,000 skips, the number of possible placements for a 9-letter sequence increases significantly—into the billions. This means that while finding some 9-letter ELS sequences is not unusual at high skips, the vast majority of those occurrences are meaningless letter combinations with no prophetic significance.
But what makes this discovery extraordinary is not just the presence of the phrase “Eretz America” in the Tanakh. It is:
- The phrase is meaningful—”Eretz America” translates to “The Land of America“, a direct reference to the United States.
- It appears in an equidistant letter sequence spanning multiple books of the Hebrew Bible, something that cannot be manipulated by human design.
- It aligns precisely with a prophetic statement in the plain text—“I will make of you a great nation” (אעשה אתך לגוי־גדול).
- The first letter of “Eretz America” (א) aligns exactly with the first letter of the prophecy, forming a unified and coherent encoded message.
When we factor in the rarity of these alignments, the probability of this happening randomly drops to an infinitesimally small number—far beyond 1 in quadrillions.
This Bible code is not merely a curiosity. It is a prophetic testimony that America’s rise was foreordained. But with great blessing comes great responsibility—will America continue to walk in her calling, or will she follow the path of fallen empires before her?
