Sir Francis Bacon, Baron Verulam of Verulam, Viscount Saint Alban (1561-1626), was not only a recognised genius but also a man of many parts—a renowned philosopher, poet, orator, author, essayist, cryptographer, courtier, lawyer, parliamentarian, statesman, intellectual reformer and master of the English tongue.
Baconian Ciphers
Numerical ciphers are those wherein each letter of the alphabet has an equivalent numerical value. These are derived from ancient Kabbalistic cipher method referred to as gematria... leading to the possibility of associating or substituting each word with another having the same value. Thereby an explanatory or alternative meaning to text can be found.
The same method was used when transcribing the New Testament in Greek.
This is a well known cipher system with which sacred texts (and Shakespeare) are analysed and layers upon layers of meaning are discovered that are otherwise concealed.

The fun thing about gematria is there are no rules - so you can just keep bending everything straight until you get a result you're happy with.
For example, I'm gonna mash my keyboard: adshjgdjkhgdsagjhsdafgjhkfdsagjksdfagjhsdfjhgsdfjhgfsdgjhfsdefr7iewuikfwk
I can choose from four different types of gematria, but I'll chose Full Reduction for no specific reason...
The Full Reduction Gematria value of that random string of letters and numbers is 311:
Revelation 3:11 - I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.
John 3:11 - Very truly I tell you, we speak of what we know, and we testify to what we have seen, but still you people do not accept our testimony.
Genesis 3:11 - Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?”
March 11 1918 - Moscow becomes capital of revolutionary Russia
March 11 2019 - Australia Adelaide Cup Dat
On and on and on and on... until I find a date or scripture or flight number or a postcode or a law code or a address that matches the random value.
Pure retardation.
