President Biden in the Bible code

Introduction

President Biden’s poor debate performance on June 27 was anything but what Democrats had been hoping for. For an hour and a half, the entire nation watched in astonishment as the frail and elderly looking President seemed to repeatedly stumble over his words, lose his train of thought while speaking, and struggle to string sentences together. It was so bad that even the mainstream news media could no longer deny that the leader of the free world appears to be exhibiting possible signs of age-related cognitive decline. After the debate, many viewers took to social media to voice their opinion–with many accusing the Democratic party leaders of “elder abuse.” I couldn’t help but find this particular charge interesting, as it immediately reminded me of an ELS Bible code about President Biden that I discovered well over a year ago. In this brief article, I am going to reveal that code publicly for the first time.

Long-Distance Bible codes and Textual Variants in the Masoretic Text

Before presenting this Bible code about President Biden, it is important to briefly explain what I refer to as long-distance ELS Bible codes and how they function. Unlike short-distance Bible codes which appear at small equidistant letter skips, long-distance codes occur at much wider intervals—sometimes tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands letters apart. Skeptics outright dismiss the possibility that long-distance Bible codes could even exist, in large part because of the minor orthographic variation that exists across manuscripts. But the evidence testifies against them.

When you have names and phrases encoded in the Bible at long-distances, occurring alongside thematically relevant or topically related lines of plain text on the grid generated by the computer, and converging with them to form coherent unified statements or prophecies–this strongly suggests intentional encoding rather than meaningless coincidence.

The minor orthographic variations between different manuscripts and printed editions of the Masoretic text are not the intellectual stumbling block that the Bible code critics think they are. These variations do mean that long-distance Bible codes are exclusive to the particular manuscript or edition in which they are found, but this does not mean that such codes are invalid or coincidental. Rather, it means that such minor orthographic variations are intentional and by design, and each edition of the Masoretic Text is saturated with its own unique set of long-distance Bible codes.¹

The Bible code presented in this study is found in what is known as the Thenach Standard Text, which the creators of the ELS Bible code search software I use describe as “the form of the text as it existed in most Hebrew Bibles around the year 1900.”

With this understanding, let us now examine the Bible code about President Biden.

A Bible code about President Biden

One morning back in May of 2023, I fired up my Bible code search software and ran a search for the phrase נשיא ביידן, (nasi Biden, “President Biden”). I set the ELS search range to 1-150,000 letter skips, and ran a search for the phrase as one continuous string (נשיאביידן). The search yielded a total of 2 positive encryptions of this string in the Thenach Standard Text edition of the Hebrew Bible. The image below documents the grid generated by the computer for one of these two positive hits. Behold:

Here we can see that the phrase nasi Biden (“President Biden”) is encrypted in the Hebrew Bible at an ELS of every 80,052 letters. The encryption begins at the nun of the first word of Deuteronomy 33:12, and ends at the second nun of the word קנני in Proverbs 8:22.² I have also highlighted what I perceive to be lines of topical correspondence within the grid which confirm the divine authenticity and deliberate nature of the code.

A Brief re-cap of Bible code Grids

I have already explained at length how Bible code grids are generated and how they work in a previous post, so I will refrain from getting into a lengthy discussion about that here. Suffice it to say that when the software finds a positive encryption of the search word or phrase anywhere in the Hebrew Bible at any ELS within the specified range, it creates a grid by dividing the text of the entire Hebrew Bible (from Genesis to 2 Chronicles) into rows of letters (without spacing) of equal length—the length of the rows being equal to the number of letter skips at which the encoded word or phrase is found. A consequence of the structuring of the text in this way is that it causes the encoded word/phrase to displayed within the grid in a vertical line as seen in the image above.

To apply what I’ve just described to the above example, the encoded phrase nasi Biden (“President Biden“) is found at an equidistant letter skip sequence of 80,052, which simply means that if you begin at the letter nun in the first word of Deuteronomy 33:12, and continuously skip 80,052 letters in the Hebrew TaNaKh (making note of every 80,052nd letter), it spells out נשיא ביידן, that is–“President Biden.” Thus each line on the grid in the image above signifies a continuous line of biblical narrative 80,052 letters in length–which is why the encoded phrase is displayed on the grid in a vertical line. Thus if you start at any place on the grid and move down a row, all you are doing is jumping ahead 80,052 letters in the narrative of the Hebrew Bible.

Note also that the image above documents the full grid, that is–it includes the lines which precede where the encryption begins and succeed where it ends. In its entirety, the full grid begins in Genesis 42:6 and ends in 2 Chronicles 30:5.³

Break-down of the President Biden Bible code

When I first began to analyze the above grid in my Bible code software, the first line of plain text that immediately caught my eye is the statement I have highlighted blue. It’s a line from Genesis 42:6, which the KJV renders: “And Joseph was governor over the country.” It was immediately apparent to me that this verse appearing directly above the encoded phrase “President Biden” on the grid was not a coincidence. The occurrence of such a topically relevant statement in such close proximity to the encrypted phrase is indicative of deliberate, willful design. God is deliberately using the line about the patriarch Joseph in Genesis 42 to function simultaneously as a prophecy about the election of Joseph R. Biden to the Presidency in the Bible code.

The truth of my claim that this is an authentic Bible code about President Biden is reinforced by the second topically relevant line of text we find on the eighth line of the grid, just a few letters to the right of the encrypted phrase. It is a line from Isaiah 47:6, which reads: “upon the elderly you have laid a very heavy burden.“

It should be noted that the Hebrew noun זקן that most English translations render as “elderly” in this verse appears here in the masculine singular, by which it is being used to denote a single male individual. Thus, this verse could just as easily be rendered as: “upon the old man you have laid a very heavy burden.” Indeed, the office of the Presidency can certainly be described as “a very heavy burden.” As a matter of fact, shortly after being sworn in as the 33rd President following the sudden death of President Franklin Roosevelt on April 12, 1945, President Truman told reporters that he “. . . . felt like the moon, the stars, and all the planets had fallen on me.”⁴

Statistical Significance of the “President Biden” Bible Code

To assess the probability of the phrase “נשיא ביידן” (“President Biden”) appearing in the Hebrew Bible by chance, we must examine several key statistical factors. The results reveal an astonishingly low probability, suggesting that this encoding is not a random occurrence.

1. Total Possible ELS Positions

Since the search was conducted within an ELS range of 1 to 150,000 letter skips, the number of potential ELS positions in the Hebrew Bible (Tanakh) is approximately 8. This is derived from the total 1.2 million letters divided by the ELS search range.

2. Probability of Randomly Forming the Phrase

The Hebrew alphabet consists of 22 letters, but actual letter frequencies in biblical Hebrew vary. Taking into account the commonality of letters in the phrase “נשיא ביידן” (which contains mostly frequently occurring letters except for Dalet), the probability of randomly forming this exact sequence is:

P = (1/22)^9 ≈ 1.75 × 10^(-11)

This means that for any given position in the Hebrew text, the odds of this phrase forming by pure chance are extremely low. Furthermore, the initial probability calculations that did not account for letter frequency resulted in an even lower estimate, but adjusting for real-world Hebrew letter distribution makes this phrase slightly more common than originally predicted.

3. Expected Number of Occurrences in the Tanakh

Given 8 possible ELS positions, the expected number of times this phrase should appear randomly is 1.40 × 10⁻¹⁰.

To put this in perspective, under normal random conditions, we would expect this code to appear far less than once in the entire Tanakh.

4. Actual Number of Occurrences

Despite these overwhelmingly low odds, the phrase “נשיא ביידן” was found twice in the Tanakh. This already defies statistical expectations, but the significance is heightened by the fact that one of these occurrences aligns contextually with highly relevant biblical passages.

Not only does the encoded phrase appear, but it is found directly next to two highly topical verses:

• Genesis 42:6 – “And Joseph was governor over the country.” This directly corresponds to Joseph R. Biden’s role as President.
• Isaiah 47:6 – “Upon the elderly you have laid a very heavy burden.” This aligns with concerns regarding Biden’s age and the pressures of his presidency.

The probability of not only finding the encoded phrase but also having it occur next to highly relevant text is exponentially lower than the probability of the phrase occurring somewhere randomly in the Tanakh. The contextual alignment of the code provides further evidence of intentional encoding rather than coincidence.

5. Actual vs. Expected Ratio

Comparing the actual frequency of this phrase to the expected frequency gives a ratio of approximately 14.3 billion times higher than expected.

This discrepancy suggests that the appearance of this Bible code is far from random; it is an intentional, encoded message within the biblical text.

Concluded Statistical Significance

The probability of the nine-letter string נשיאביידן appearing in the Hebrew Bible by pure chance is astronomically low. Yet, not only does the string appear encoded two times in the Thenach Standard Text edition of the Masoretic text, but in one of those two instances it occurs next to highly relevant lines of plain text on the grid, thereby reinforcing the hypothesis that this is a deliberately encrypted long-distance Bible code intended to function as a cryptic prophecy which foretells the ascendency of Joe Biden to the US presidency as an elderly man.

Final thoughts on the President Biden Bible Code

Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum. We saw that a search for the string נשיאביידן at an ELS range between 1-150,000 reveals that this 9-letter string is found encrypted in the Hebrew Bible a total of only two times. In one of those two instances, we saw that it appears in close proximity to two very obvious lines of topical correspondence on the grid generated by the computer, which converge together to form a cohesive prophecy about Joseph R. Biden being elected to the office of President as an elderly man in the latter days.

Not only is the Bible code about President Biden yet another irrefutable witness to the objective existence of the Bible code itself, but it is also an additional witness to the fact that nothing that happens in human history is a surprise to God. Indeed, Jesus Christ is the author of human history, and he has already declared the end from the beginning (Isa. 42:9; 46:9-10; Acts 15:18).

1. I discuss all of this at much greater length in this article.
2. Note that this encryption is exclusive to the Thenach Standard text edition of the Hebrew Bible. As I have explained in previous posts, there are different manuscripts and different printed editions of the Hebrew Bible, all of which contain occasional spelling differences. Consequently, long-range ELS codes like the one in this example are going to be exclusive to the specific edition of the HB in which they are found. The collective body of evidence has led me to the conclusion that there are multiple divinely inspired versions of the Hebrew Bible–each being divinely watermarked with its own unique set of irrefutable Bible codes which authenticate that particular version of the Hebrew Scriptures. I explain this more at length in another post.
3. Unlike the Christian Old Testament canon which ends with Malachi, the last book of the Hebrew Bible is 2 Chronicles.
