The final version of the book we know as "The Bible" was officially decided upon at the Council of Nicea in 325 AD, which was close to 1700 years ago. The Hebrew Scriptures, as the name implies, were a collection of books written in Hebrew (the Torah) and the rest had been translated to Greek from Aramaic by the time the Council of Nicea rolled around.
The New Testament (aka The Christian Scriptures) were written in Greek, starting with the Gospels and then the Letters. The Bible Code would only be accurate if they used the languages that were in the Bible at 325 AD. As has been pointed out, there probably wasn't a Hebrew, Aramaic, or Greek word for California at that time and, therefor, the Bible Code is completely false.
No Aramaic word for California? Savages! 
cesspool?

Wait...When you debunk something you prove that it is bunk? Wouldn't debunking something take the bunk out?

Maybe I'll just get smallpox. |

It is bunk in the first place. People believe in bunk, still do, so hence others having to debunk the bunk, or guff, or whatever.

I'm sorry, you may have Judaism confused with other religions. A Jewish afterlife does not exclude righteous non-Jews.

The 7 Noachide Laws The Jewish idea is that the Torah of Moses is a truth for all humanity, whether Jewish or not. The Torah (as explained in the Talmud - Sanhedrin 58b) presents seven mitzvot for non-Jews to observe. These seven laws are the pillars of human civilization, and are named the "Seven Laws of Noah," since all humans are descended from Noah. They are: Do not murder. Do not steal. Do not worship false gods. Do not be sexually immoral. Do not eat the limb of an animal before it is killed. Do not curse God. Set up courts and bring offenders to justice. Maimonides explains that any human being who faithfully observes these laws earns a proper place in heaven. So you see, the Torah is for all humanity, no conversion necessary. |

It's transliterated. Not translated.
