Codes Within the Text of Scripture

I have always been fascinated by those who claim to find codes within the text of Scripture. Often they are mathematicians who superimpose complex formulas to find sequences of letters that add up to a sentence. For example, they may take the tenth letter of every sentence in the book of Isaiah and miraculously a decipherable sentence may appear. This doesn't happen often, and more often than not the letters add up to gibberish, but every once in a while the results are surprising.

Take a look at the story at this link. I don't put a lot of credibility on such stories, but they are interesting to think about. The idea behind the study is to try to prove that there are mathematical formulas that God has encrypted in His Word. These codes not only speak of upcoming events, but often point to Jesus in revealing who he was, what he taught and what his ministry was about.

So far the jury is out. Most theologians don't put a lot of stock in these studies, but like I said, it's fun to think that there might be some kind of code that would prove that the compilation of our Bible was not random, or subjective, but ordered and directed by God.

What would you think about there being some kind of code revealed in Scripture?
