My take on stuff like this is always one of worry. Not so much because I believe what is being preached (whole other can of worms for me), but because of what it says about the person and those around them.

I've known one person who did a lot of "analysis" of the Bible for this kind of result. Finding numbers that had no correlation and correlating them in this manner, that as the man interviewed in the CBC article put it is irresponsible, to get the result they wanted.

He started doing this because while he was taking the meds he was on, apparently missed a dose or something and got something from the Bible that said he had to do this, that it was his job in life. He quit his job, and was forced to move in with my mom's friend who was his ex-wife since he no longer had means to sustain himself.

Now I am not saying all people who do this sort of thing are mentally unstable, but I think it certainly is something to look at and worry about. These people are not all there and could end up harming themselves or those around them if they believe they are to be one of the saved and the day comes and they are still there. This guy particularly worries me because he obviously believes what he's preaching. There's no grab for money.
