On September 5, 1994, Michael Drosnin claimed to have sent a letter to Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, warning him that his name appeared crossed with "assassin that will assassinate" (רוצח שירצח) as ELS in the Torah.
On November 4, 1995, Rabin was assassinated by Yigal Amir after a peace rally in Tel Aviv. Drosnin published "The Bible Code" in 1997 with this case as central evidence.

Reproduce →We search רבין in Deuteronomy with wide skips (2 to 2000). The name of the assassinated PM, encoded in the final book of the Torah.
The hypothesis: the Torah encodes future events. The name + modus operandi crossing in the text, before the event, demonstrates predictive capacity. Drosnin claims he sent the letter over a year before the assassination.
(1) Demonstrated that in any sufficiently long text, similar combinations can be found — including Rabin's assassination encoded in Moby Dick.
(2) Challenged Drosnin's methodology: flexible terms, post-hoc, no rigorous statistical protocol.
(3) Challenged the letter itself: no independent evidence it described the modus operandi precisely.
The appearance of רבין in the Torah is objectively verifiable and reproducible — and not surprising for a text of 78,000+ letters. The step from there to "the Torah predicted it" requires much more than an isolated finding.
