Written between the lines...

This is the Hebrew text of the Bible. The connected lines are typically connected by computer analysis. They purport to tell the future and who knows, maybe they do. But, if they really do, then what? While I was thinking about this, the following short passage came to mind. Once you read it, I think the application will become obvious.

Deuteronomy 29:29 (WEB)
29) The secret things belong to Yahweh our God; but the things that are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law.

This verse says volumes. Secrets belong to God and are HIS. What has been given to us is ours for the purpose of obedience. Why would anyone want to go further? Curiosity, power, prestige, knowledge, gain, greed... I guess the list could go on and on. Although there may be legitimate, even godly reasons, for the most part, the things I thought of were, shall we say, LESS THAN SPIRITUAL. If someone wrote you a letter and after reading it, you did something like the picture shows, I think most people would say you are crazy. OK, I know that God operates on levels and in ways I will never truly understand, but Bible Codes, really? I hope that after a little reflection, you might agree with me, but if not, that's OK too. Only, please, don't dissect my writings as they do in the picture; I am just not bright enough to embed secret codes and I have never met anyone so far who could do this either. Just take things at face value; life becomes simpler that way.
