The Hebrew word for "closed" means "to keep secret". In Daniel 12:4 and 12:9 we are told that the words of the book are closed up until the Time of the End. The surface text of the Bible takes precedence over any "hidden codes". However, until the event of Princess Diana's death, no connection could be made between these words.

Then he found that in the beginning of Numbers and Deuteronomy the word "Torah" appeared backwards in spaces of fifty letters. When he came to Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy it did not work. The word "Torah" appeared in spaces of fifty letters. Next Rabbi Weismandel found the same thing in the first verse of Exodus. This was done manually, without the aid of a computer. Rabbi Weismandel called this Equidistant Letter Spacing, or ELS.
