Brother Dave,
The codes have not been found in any non Bible books. That is, ELS's (equidistant letter sequences, words searched by skipping letters) do not occur in significant numbers in any non -Bible text.
I have read Brendan Mckay who claims they do, but his findings are meaningless.
What I have found so far supports the hypothesis that God
did put codes in The Peshitta New Testament in the form of Divine Names in Hebrew and Aramaic: Yeshua,Elaha,Meshikha,Mariah,Rucha,Amra,Chumra,Owr,Parucha,Shelicha,Yahweh,Yah Yeshu,Miltha,Ha Melah,Ena Ena,Elohim, etc., etc, .. 75 Names and titles.
These are searched for numbers of occurrences in the text.I am not looking for long codes but large numbers of short codes 3-6 letters long- all names and Titles of God used in scripture.
For each name, I also did a search in a control text the same size and letter composition as The Peshitto. I compare the results overall in The Peshitto and the control text.
If these results hold (they have been verified by a professional statistician and former fellow of Price Water House Cooper, the world's largest accounting firm ),then there will be scientific grounds supporting The Divine inspiration of The Peshitta New Testament and The Hebrew Old Testament.
I hope to soon search the Peshitta text of The CoE.
I will let you know the results when I obtain them.
Grace and peace,
Dave B
