Hi All,
I was veiwing rokkamans video,
and decided to post this poll to see what ya think.here is the message in question based on biblical names of the geneology of adam-noah.
Hebrew-English
Adam= Man
Seth=Appointed
enosh=Mortal
Kenan=Sorrow
Mahalalel=The Blessed God
Jared=Shall come down
Enoch=Teaching
Methuselah=his death shall bring
lamech= despairing
Noah=Rest or ComfortMessage: Man appointed mortal sorrow, The Blessed God shall come down teaching, his death shall bring the despairing rest or comfort.
Is this True or false?
if you think its false please tell me the true meaning of the names.Hi,
Interesting hypothosis but I am unwilling to vote until I have a way to test it. I am unsure what benefit is actually gained even if it is true.
Your fellow student,

I think it's a very well established fact that people find meaning where there is none.
People find meaning where there is none.
People want meaning. They look for meaning. And they find meaning…where there is none.
And they often subtely change things to make meaning where there is none.
I'm going to randomly pick one of your names below, methuselah.Adam= Man
Seth=Appointed
enosh=Mortal
Kenan=Sorrow
Mahalalel=The Blessed God
Jared=Shall come down
Enoch=Teaching
Methuselah=his death shall bring [possibly, man of the missile]
lamech= despairing
Noah=Rest or ComfortThe name Methuselah consists of two elements. The first part is equal to that of Methusael, mat (mat 1263), which is one of a few words to denote man or mankind, and used most often to indicate a male capable of combat. There is an obvious and grim connection with the word mut (mut 1169), to die; corpse.
The second part comes from the verb shalah (shalah 2394) meaning send, send out, let go. The charge of the verb becomes clear in the meaning of the derivatives: shalah (shelah 2394a), a sort of weapon that was thrown, like a javelin; shilluhim (shilluhim 2394b), sending away; sheluha (sheluha 2394c), shoot, branch (Isia 16:8); mishlah (mislah 2394d); undertaking (that to which one stretches out the hand), or pasture (where animals get to roam free); misloah (mishloah 2394e), outstretching, sending; mishlahat (mishlahat 2394f), discharge, deputation.******
Exact meaning is somewhat uncertain: Dr. Henry Morris said it may mean, “When he dies, judgment.” Others say: “When he is dead it shall be sent” (“it” refers to the Deluge) . . . .Others say the name means: “Man of the dart” or “…javelin”
*****
“Man of the dart/spear”, or alternatively “when he dies/died, it shall be sent/has been sent”)–wikipedia
****
The first 4 references I checked all say the same thing:
That his name means either:
“man of the dart/spear/javelin” or “when he dies it shall be sent.”the other thing is, a lot of the names listed above have multiple meanings. So again, you get to PICK AND CHOOSE to FIT YOUR MEANING.
This Bible code stuff is hogwash. Flimflam. It is what people use to sell books.
To all,
From what David states about Methusala I am going to say my opinion is weighted to the idea it is false.
Your fellow student,

Edited to clarify what I meant.
David you might be right.
But how is it possible to know whether somethign is true or not about such cliams?
how can an individual look this up?like Jotham fore example means God is perfect, is it true or is there other interpretations?

Many words can have more than one meaning. Look up the original word and break it down and consider the possible meanings.
I believe Jotham means “Jehovah is perfect.” It could also mean “May Jehovah complete.”Now here's the interesting thing. If you wanted to use Jotham as part of a hidden code, you can pick and choose: “Jehovah is perfect” “perfect” “complete” “Jehovah completes” (You have multiple options to make things fit.)
People are amazingly great at finding meaning and patterns where they don't really exist. We are trained at finding patterns from childhood. We need to be good at finding patterns for things like facial recognition, but we spend so much time finding patterns that we tend to find them where they don't really exist.

But That makes many possibilities correct?
So if all the possible possiliblities were cross referenced and the one that dont make any sense were crossed out, would that be legit?
