The Aleph-Tav

@Goontah

"My doctrine shall drop as the rain..." -Deuteronomy 32:2

If you turn the progression of words sideways so that the words are "falling" (like rain), you have this:

"Thus saith the LORD, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool..." -Isaiah 66:1

@Goontah "Int the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the *beginning*""

[Goontah]

The aleph-tav functions in Hebrew grammar to mark off the definite direct object. In Genesis 1:1, what did God create (bara')? He created "the heavens" (ha-shamayim) and "the earth" (ha-eretz). The verb bara' (meaning "he created") has two direct objects: "the heavens" and "the earth, " and since they're both definite (i.e. "the" heavens and "the" earth), they receive the definite direct object marker, the aleph-tav. That's why there are actually two occurrences of it in Gen. 1:1.

I have been on this VI-Sion quest for 21 years; I have seen these letters from one end of the language tree to the other; and look forward to the Age of Fulfillment of the VI-Sion quest - VI is the number six in Latin and the Spanish word/phrase I SAW or YO VI SION - literally I SAW SION and lived to Proclaim it in the Year of Return!!

[Goontah]

So the question is: if the first aleph-tav has a hidden meaning of "Christ amongst the seven churches, " what do we do with the second? Doesn't it mean that there are two aleph-tavs amongst six words? Because of this, I would say that though Revelation is true in saying that Christ is the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, and that he stands among the seven churches of Revelation, that is not what Genesis 1:1 is telling us, even in a hidden sense.

[Goontah]

The first has nothing in the interlinear translation, but the second one is translated as "and, " because it has the letter waw/vav in front of it, which when placed in front of a word means "and -whatever the thing is-." In this case, it is placed on a definite-direct-object marker, the aleph-tav that occurs before ha-eretz ("the earth"), meaning "and the earth." It's what Hebrew grammar does.

I want to correct something. Nowhere in scripture does Jesus ever say "I am the alpha and the omega (Greek translation), or the alef tav (Hebrew). This is ADDED to the book of revelation 3 seperate times, incorrectly.
The book of Isaiah says in 3 seperate verses, "the first and the last". Deceiving scribes added "alpha and omega" to the book of Revelation on their own accord.
Now that the new testament has been discovered in the original Hebrew writing, many of these writings, to include the Hebrew translation of Revelation, were found in the archives of the Vatican.
In the original Hebrew translation of Revelation, the words "alpha and omega" are not found. Now scholars agree that this phrase was added hundreds of years later.
Nehemiah Gordon covers this in one of his recent youtube videos, as he was one of the lead scholars translating the Hebrew text of Revelation, which was found in the 1980's, but wasnt brought to public light until recently.

So in the original Hebrew writings, both Isaiah and John the Revelator only say that Yahushua was "the first and the last", and neither actually said he was the alpha and omega. That's important to know, because Alef (alpha in greek) is not "first" in Hebrew. Alef is "one". One is the first visible letter in hebrew, but "first" is an ordinal number while alef is a cardinal number in hebrew. Ordinal must ALWAYS preceed cardinal. Therefore, something "unseen", or concealed, preceeded the alef.

This is why Jesus couldnt be the alef tav, because he PRECEEDED THE ALEF. Alef is the physical, seen, manifestation. Yahushua as Yahweh, is outside of time, pre manifestation, therefore he preceeded the alef. This is when Isaiah and John claiming that Jesus (Yahushua) was the first and last, and not alef and tav, is such a big deal. Because it reveals that Yahushua was God, BEFORE time, before his physical manifestation on earth ever took place, he was there!
Saying "alef tav" does not bring this to light, it actually conceals this fact, because it makes it appear that Yahushua is not outside of time.

Anyways, I thought it be important to tell you that the book of Revelation ADDED the phrase to the text, in which it wasnt there originally in the older hebrew copies of Revelation. And Isaiah never mentioned it when discussing the exact same subject either.

And alef does NOT mean God. It means "ox", the strength of the ox. The ox was the worker. Israelites would wrongly try to depict God as a bull, which is an ox that has not been tamed. Ox would be castrated, making them able to be taught and instructed, making them useful and manageable for a job that needed accomplished. A bull was considered wild and untameable, sporadic, untrainable. This is why Messiah calls them "bulls of bashon". They did not follow instruction (the evil spiritual princes in power in this world). You would always castrate a bull, which would then make them tame able, and accepting of instruction. A castrated bull becomes an ox, willing and able to be instructed. The ox was the strong leader of instruction.
Modern day rabbinical Judaism tries to claim that God is the ox, but nowhere in scripture are we told this. Alef does not mean "God".
The alef does not mean bull. The alef (ox) was for the purpose of work. A bull cannot and is not used for work, because it is wild, uncontrolable, and does not follow instructions. God hated being labeled in the form of an image of a Bull.
God has no image (his Son is the image of God, but no animal, to include ox or bulls, is the image of god). God preceeded the physical, he was spiritual. Alef is a physical manifestation.

The one in the midst (middle) of the candlesticks was Yahushua. The middle candlestick was the 4th candlestick, and this was Yahushua because he appeared on the 4th day, or 4000th year, the 4th candlestick.

Also, the quote from Revelation, where John (in the english translation) says "and the WORD was God", does not exist. It was also added to the text. This can be read in the Hebrew copy of the book of Revelation.
