Good Morning Wednesday...
Father thank You for this AMAZING DAY. Please fill us with Your Spirit and help us to be a LIGHT. Endow us with Your PEACE and WISDOM, so we may bring LIFE to this world. In YESHUA, JESUS CHRIST Name we pray. Amen! Tomorrow we will take a look at the next part in the series “He Is…,” and with the content therein, there seemed to this servant no better time to share this devotion. God Bless My Brothers and Sisters and have a Wonderful-Revelation-From-God-Our Father-Filled-Day!… From The Beginning to The End :-). Shalom! - The Beginning and The End... Great Are His Mercies! The Aleph and The Tav. “This I recall to my mind, Therefore I have hope. Through The LORD’s (YHWH's, Yahweh's) mercies we are not consumed, Because His Compassions fail not. They are new every morning; Great is Your Faithfulness. “The LORD (YHVH, Yahweh) is my portion,” says my soul, “Therefore I hope in Him!” Lamentations 3:21-24 Indeed Our Father's Mercies are Great. While studying for a new series some time back I had an epiphany. Today, I would like to share that epiphany with you. We know that Yeshua, Our Savior Jesus, is The Beginning and The End. In Scripture, He describes Himself as The Aleph and The Tav. Due to the greek manuscripts and how our English translations are written, most are more familiar with The Alpha and The Omega. The Beginning and The End. While The Alpha and Omega are sufficient for beginners in The Bible, many dig further. My own research has led me to conclude that all The Scriptures were originally written and spoken in Hebrew. After all, the whole Book was given to, spoken by, and passed on from the Hebrew People. Yeshua Himself was Hebrew and He was speaking to Hebrews. Suffice to say, we can be pretty comfortable believing that when Our Savior Spoke these words, He was speaking Hebrew. Hence, what Yeshua said is "I Am The Aleph and The Tav.” This is where the revelation happened. For anyone not aware, all Hebrew letters have very dynamic and precise meanings. When a word in Hebrew is put together, the individual letter meanings not only give the word a more dynamic and concise meaning, but are always in agreement with the stand-alone word itself. Maybe this is why Our Father calls Hebrew a "Heavenly Language." With that said, let's take another look at what Our Savior declares Himself to be and the amazing confirmation of His Divinity in this statement. Let's take a look a a few different translations, including "The Scriptures 2009" which accurately translates Alpha and Omega as the Hebrew Aleph and Tav, the NKJV, and The Complete Jewish Bible: “And He said to me, “It is done! I Am The ‘Aleph’ and The ‘Tav’, The Beginning and The End. To the one who thirsts I shall give of the fountain of The Water of Life without payment.” Ḥazon (Revelation) 21:6 TS2009 “And He said to me, “It is done! I Am The ‘A’ and The ‘Z,’ The Beginning and The End. To anyone who is thirsty I Myself will give water free of charge from The Fountain of Life.” Revelation of Yeshua to Yochanan (Rev) 21:6 CJB “And He said to me, “It is done! I Am The Alpha and The Omega, The Beginning and The End. I will give of The Fountain of The Water of Life freely to him who thirsts.” Revelation 21:6 NKJV Now that we have read one of the verses where Our Messiah declares this statement. Let's take a look at the Hebrew Letters Aleph and Tav. Aleph is the beginning or 1st letter of the Hebrew Alphabet. In fact, the Hebrew Alphabet is called the Aleph-Bet. Not hard to see where we received our word "alphabet" is it? The Tav is the final or 22nd letter in the Hebrew Alphabet. The context to Our Savior's statement would have been understood by His Hebrew listeners, but for our sake I am sure, He finishes the sentence by clarifying "The Beginning and The End." As mentioned, all Hebrew Letters have individual, stand-alone, and dynamic meanings. The Aleph was originally communicated as a drawing, a bull's head, in ancient paleo form, and carries the meanings: STRENGTH, LEADER, TEACHER, or POWER. The Tav was originally communicated as a drawing, two crossed sticks, in ancient paleo form, and carries the meanings: MARK, SIGN, SIGNAL, SIGNATURE, MONUMENT, or TRUTH. With this information, let's take another look at what Our Messiah is telling us in Revelation 21:6 (also found in Revelation 1:8, 1:11, and 22:13). Keep in mind "I AM" or "YHVH" is the transliteration of The Name of God in The Old Testament. Everywhere we see "LORD" in The Old Testament of our Bibles is where YHVH (Yahweh in English) or I AM has been replaced with LORD. Now, here is a breakdown of Revelation 21:6 with the literal Hebrew Letter meanings. Jesus Said: It is done! I AM The LEADER and The COVENANT, the Beginning and the End. Or It is done! I AM The POWER and The SIGNATURE, the Beginning and the End. Or It is done! I AM The STRENGTH and The SIGN, the Beginning and the End. Or It is done! I AM The LEADER and The TRUTH, the Beginning and the End. How awesome is that?! I mean wow. Can Yeshua, Jesus Christ, The Savior of The Whole World, and God Himself say it any clearer? Jesus, Yeshua, Is God! He Is The LEADER (God) and The COVENANT (His Promise to us)! He Is Speaking To Us, and Revealing The Mystery of The Ages! HalleluYah! We serve a Mighty and Kind Father. In fact, just as He Tells Us, His Mercies Are New Each Morning! Let's conclude today with some witnesses from Our Father's Word and some parallel verses that only reenforce the fact that Yeshua, Our Savior Jesus Christ, and Our Father In Heaven, YHVH or Yahweh, are ONE. The Aleph and The Tav AKA The Leader and The Covenant AKA The Word of God: “Let all the nations be gathered together, And let the people be assembled. Who among them can declare this, And show us former things? Let them bring out their witnesses, that they may be justified; Or let them hear and say, “ It is Truth.” “You are My witnesses,” says The LORD (YHVH, Yahweh), “And My Servant whom I have chosen, That you may KNOW and BELIEVE ME, And UNDERSTAND that I AM HE. Before Me there was no God formed, Nor shall there be after Me. I, even I, am The LORD (YHWH, Yahweh), And BESIDES ME THERE IS NO SAVIOR. I have declared and saved, I have proclaimed, And there was no foreign god among you; Therefore you are My witnesses,” Says The LORD (YHVH, Yahweh), “that I AM GOD. Indeed before the day was, I AM HE; And there is no one who can deliver out of My Hand; I work, and who will reverse it?” Isaiah 43:9-13 NKJV “Listen to Me, O Jacob, And Israel, My called: I Am He, I Am The First, I Am also The Last.” Isaiah 48:12 NKJV “I am The Alpha and The Omega, The Beginning and The End, The First and The Last.” Revelation 22:13 NKJV “So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished!” And bowing His Head, He gave up His Spirit.” John 19:30 NKJV “And the servant said, ‘Master, it is done as you commanded, and still there is room.” Luke 14:22 NKJV “So I will make My Holy Name known in the midst of My people Israel, and I will not let them profane My Holy Name anymore. Then the nations shall know that I AM The LORD (YHVH, Yahweh), The Holy One in Israel. Surely it is coming, and it shall be done,” says The Lord (YHVH,Yahweh) GOD. “This is the day of which I have spoken.” Ezekiel 39:7-8 NKJV “I will praise You forever, Because You have done it; And in the presence of Your saints I will wait on Your Name, for it is good.” Psalms 52:9 NKJV Bonus Bread: Here is another little Golden Bible Nugget. Let’s isolate one of our Above translations of the text: “It is done! I AM The STRENGTH and The SIGN, The Beginning and The End.” Now, The Hebrew Word “Sign” is “OT,” pronounced OWTH. The pictorial Hebrew Paleo lets us know just Who The Sign is. How? Well, The Hebrew Word for sign is spelled with an Aleph, a Vav, and a Tav. The Pictorial Paleo for this is The Aleph and The Tav with The Vav right in between them. What is the pictorial symbol for the Vav you may ask? A Nail. The Word “Sign” in Paleo Hebrew is The Aleph and The Tav with a nail right in the middle! What!? Yeshua Is Our Sign! He Is... The Aleph and The Tav and He came down and bore a nail for us! THE ALEPH AND THE TAV!... GREAT ARE HIS MERCIES! God Bless Every One and May The Mighty Hand of Our Father, Who Is Salvation, Who Is Risen, Who Is The Aleph and The Tav and Who Bore A Nail for us, Lift Each and Every One of You on The Other Side of This Screen Up Into His Eternal Salvation!
