It should be easy to formulate as a hypothesis test - what are the chances
that you could find similar quantities of "secret messages" in a
meaningless randomly-chosen section of similar text?  If that probability
is high or even reasonable, then it looks unlikely that the messages found
in the Bible were put there intentionally.
