Yet More Proof
Most codes are pictured on a rectangular grid, that is, in two dimensions.
But what about one dimension? That is, related ELS's that
occur within a very short length of text? There
are many such examples.
A few of the most striking
involve two giants among the sages, both found within Genesis.
First, we have a find from Doron Witztum: the linear Genesis
text that contains "the Gaon" (in blue), and "from Vilna" (in red). The
English translation is "the genius from Vilna", as he was known:

As noted in the History Channel documentary, the Vilna Gaon stated that
"all that ever was, is, or will be, is contained in the Torah".
The odds of finding his name in such a short span of text are about 1:30,000.
Next, we look at a remarkable find from Rabbi Glazerson:
starting with the minimal skip in Genesis for the "Zohar", the source
of Kabbalah (Jewish mysticism). It is shown below, within Genesis, in
light blue. The name of Rabbi Isaac Luria (1534-1572), and his commonly known
acronym, "The Ari" surround this occurrence of "Zohar". The Ari is renowned
as the greatest Kabbalist of modern times (for a fascinating summary of his
life, see
this web page
, or "Meditation and Kabbalah" by Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan).
The specific words found surrounding Zohar are "Isaac" (yellow), "Luria" (blue),
"the Ari" (green) and "Kabbalah" (red):

The odds of finding all of these words within such a short span of text are
approximately one in a million. Of course there are a few other
personalities that we might have seen
surrounding "Zohar", which
would have been equally surprising to the one actually found - such as
Rabbis Moshe Cordevaro and Shimon ben Yochai. But guess what? They can
also be found nearby.
The above picture is also amazing in the more usual two dimensional
arrangement:

This shows the parallel pattern formed by "Luria" and "Kabbalah". The parallel
pattern is detailed on this site, and is itself
extremely rare for such a small skip, with such highly related words - including
the connecting word, "Isaac", in the middle.
