Rabbi Unravels Bible Code To Find Prediction That Donald Trump Will Be President

Rabbi Matityahu Glazerson explains passages in the Bible that he claims point to a Trump victory YouTube

A Rabbi claims he has found Hebrew codes hidden in the Bible that point to a presidential victory for Donald Trump.

Rabbi Matityahu Glazerson, author of more than 30 books in Hebrew and expert in decoding the hidden meanings of ancient Hebrew, says he has found texts in the books of Deuteronomy and Numbers that predict Donald Trump will become President of the United States.

The Rabbi explains on  YouTube how the the Bible code in the tables breaks down.

In one section of the text, the word "Donald" appears in Hebrew letters next to the word "nasi" which is Hebrew for president, Breaking Israel News reported. The codes are repeated in another section. 

Not everyone is convinced.

Matt Slick, founder and president of Christian Apologetics and Research Ministry, told The Christian Post: "There most definitely are numeric patterns in Scripture that are sometimes very interesting and compelling. However, the Bible code concept, in my opinion, seems a little over-the-top.

"From what I understand, the same concept applied to regular books like Moby Dick can produce similar results. ... At least in the English. So, I don't put much credence in it."

Even if Trump does win, he added, it does not mean the rabbi's Bible code is authentic.

"In order for me to be convinced, such a person would have to predict numerous things in advance, not just one."

Scholars who believe in the Bible code argue that it can be used to predict outcomes in the contemporary world. 

Sceptics say that it is all down to chance, and while the facts sometimes appear to fit, this can be no more than coincidence.

Earlier this year, Haredi scholar Kikar Hashabbat predicted Hillary Clinton would win, according to Jewish News International. He found code in Genesis and Leviticus that made up the phrase 'Hillary Ne'siah', or Hillary president.
