By ELS codes do you mean secret messages coded in the bible?
These have been thoughly trounced by statisticians. Do you know you can get the same kind of messages out of any long enough string of characters?
Do a google and you'll run across some discussion of this I would think.

end by may?
And you have a dated publication of this decoded prediction before, say, about 2000. Otherwise it is simply yet one of a number of guesses about how long the war would last many of which were a matter of weeks.
Otherwise even this predicition doesn't look very impressive. And as has been pointed out, ANY string of characters can be used this way. The bible isn't in any way special.

Zephyr
I'd say the war "ended" when large scale hostilities were stopped. It's a bit fuzzy of course. But there is a difference between the March and April and since then.
However, the prediction still has to be tested on a number of grounds. One is, as you suggest, when it was made. Another is how many were made. If 3 out of 5 made are hits that's interesting and worth more testing. If 3 out of 300 then it's more likely just coincidence.
