Are you beginning to understand the awesomeness of our GREAT CREATOR? Isn’t it fantastic and awesome that the DNA chemical letters are A and T? Do you realize what this means? The A is equivalent to the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet, the aleph (a), and the T is equivalent to the last Hebrew letter, the tau (t)! (Pictorial Hebrew)

Yahshua said that He is the aleph and tau (Rev. 1:8)! Being the aleph and tau means that He is the beginning and ending, the first and the last.

The discovery of DNA and its letters marks us as belonging to Him! We are His creation! DNA is a most powerful witness and sign that such is absolutely true!

Furthermore, the C and G letters of DNA are another testimony. Both of these letters are equivalent to the third Hebrew letter, the gimel (g) (Pictorial Hebrew). Take a close look at this letter! Does it not look like a strand of DNA!?

The representation of the gimel as revealed in the preceding paragraph is a much more ancient representation than the more typical gimel that looks like a foot in its other Pictorial Hebrew representation (c), and the later Paleo Hebrew (g).

There are special hidden meanings here. The more ancient usage (g) was abandoned in favor of the second representation (c). But it is interesting that on the computer keyboard, the (c) symbol is represented by the letter “C”, while the more ancient representation is represented by the letter “G”.

HIDDEN MEANINGS

This author has been led to discover so many, many marvelous things in Yahweh’s word, and His creation. (No bragging here, but humility, because I understand that I was born totally ignorant. I had to learn the things of this world, which, of course, is Yahweh’s creation. Then I have had to learn the things of Yahweh. My Master and Teacher is Yahweh. What I have learned is not for the purpose of lifting myself up, but to reveal the glorious wonders of Yahweh, and all that has been done through Yahshua the Messiah.)

What has been revealed to this author is that the DNA is a tool, an instrument of Yahshua, Who is the Aleph, and, Tau (ta) to bring forth life (g).

A former article and research that I did on the science of cymatics revealed that various images could be created with an instrument called a tonoscope wherein sand or iron filings, etc. could be placed on a plate and with various sounds, tones, frequencies, etc. certain shapes would appear. This led the scientists to deduct that everything in existence, exists via sound waves (YWM Jul.-Aug. 2005).

Now, we find that DNA is linked to music!

Here is an excerpt from our article on Cymatics, “In his research with the tonoscope, Jenny noticed that when the vowels of the ancient languages of Hebrew and Sanskrit were pronounced, the sand took the shape of the written symbols for these vowels, while our modern languages, on the other hand, did not generate the same result! How is this possible? Did the ancient Hebrews and Indians know this? Is there something to the concept of "sacred language," which both of these are sometimes called? What qualities do these "sacred languages," among which Tibetan, Egyptian and Chinese are often numbered, possess? Do they have the power to influence and transform physical reality, to create things through their inherent power, or, to take a concrete example, through the recitation or singing of sacred texts, to heal a person who has gone "out of tune"?” (YWM, Jul.-Aug. 2005, p. 15)

The original Scriptures prove that Hebrew is the heavenly language. Cymatics proves that only Hebrew and Sanskrit vowels form images.

Yahshua, the Aleph (a), and Tau (t), spoke, sang, the creation into existence. The DNA proves that only the A and T (aleph and tau) combine, and the C and G (the two letters for the gimel) combine together.

If we take the aleph and tau, and combine them we get ta.

But there is a Hebrew word that also describes this combination. That is the Hebrew word for “sign” which is the Hebrew word “owth” (tfa, pronounced like “oat”). The waw (f) is the Hebrew letter that serves as a conjunction or hook.

Now, let’s look at the more general form of the gimel in the pictorial Hebrew (c), and the Paleo Hebrew (g).

Here is what this teaches this author. There is nothing that exists before the aleph, nor after the tau. The aleph-tau (ta) brought forth the creation, and life in that creation through the power of His word (which includes all of the Hebrew letters). The life (DNA) would be represented by the more ancient form of the gimel (g).

The more general form of the gimel is in the form of a foot (c). The earth is Yahweh’s footstool (Isa. 66:1; Mt. 5:35).

Scripture reveals that Yahshua emptied Himself of the power, honor, esteem, glory, etc. that He had as Creator Elohim and descended to the earth (Phil. 2:5-8). It is interesting to note that Yahshua descended to earth (Yahweh’s footstool) during the time of the great, and dreadful, and terrible beast (Dan. 7), which was the Roman Empire. The form of Italy is that of a foot or boot.

The Paleo Hebrew gimel (g) is likened to the head of a camel which represents something that is lifted up. Yahshua said that He came to be lifted up as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness (Jn. 3:14).

The Hebrew for “Redeemer” is ga’al (lag, Paleo Hebrew). This form would give us the general idea that we are redeemed by the “lifting up El” since the term for El is la in Paleo Hebrew!

The Aleph and Tau (Yahshua as Yahweh in His pre-existent heavenly state) descended from heaven, becoming flesh, in order to be combined with the Tau at the end of His life so He could create a way of escape for His people who had come under the curse of  sin and death. Thus the sign (tfa/owth) was that the Aleph (a) and Tau (t) were joined, nailed, hooked (f) together.

In His descent to the earth (c) from heaven, and being lifted up (g), we are given life (g). The Aleph and Tau combine, and the gimels combine.

GIMEL’S MODERN DAY FORM

The modern day form of the gimel looks like this: g.

L. Grant Luton writes, “Traditionally, gimel’s form—g—is said to resemble a man, head bent, determined to make his way from the second letter to the fourth (which is the dalet [d]). What is the gimel’s mission? The Sages teach that gimel (g) came from inside the b (beit, the “house”), and is on an important mission to dalet (d), the fourth letter. They describe gimel’s mission as one of mercy to bring food and nourishment to (d). But, should dalet (d) prove stubbornly closed to gimel, then punishment will result. (The possibility that gimel may bring punishment is due to the fact that gimel’s name may also be pronounced g’mal, meaning “recompense.”) The name of the dalet (d), the letter to which gimel is traveling, literally means “door.” From these four letters a story begins to unfold: The Father (ba) and His Son (b) sent forth someone (g) to nourish one who lives behind a closed door (d). Aside from being a picture of a door, dalet’s name comes from the root word dahl, which means “weakness” and “poverty.” Could an illustration of the gospel be any plainer? It is amazing to think that when God designed the Hebrew alphabet, He did so with the message of the gospel in mind….In our discussion of gimel (g), let us not neglect its relationship to the two letters that precede it, the a and b, which together spell ba (Av, “Father”). Yahshua said, “When the Counselor (g) comes, whom I will send to you from the Father (ba), the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father, He will testify about Me (b).” (In His Own Words, pp. 40-41)

The representation below shows the flow of the gimel, which is coming out of the Father’s house (b), heading towards the dalet or door (d).

“The gimel is composed of a vav (w waw), representing an erect man, with a lower yud (y), a foot in motion,” The Alef-Beit by Rabbi Yitzchak Ginsburgh, p. 54.

“The shape of the g resembles a lmg [gamal], camel, with its long neck,” The Wisdom of the Hebrew Alphabet, by Michael Munk, p. 71.

Are you beginning to understand that the Hebrew Alphabet, in its three forms, Pictorial, Paleo, and Modern, is explaining Yahweh’s plan of salvation in His Son Yahshua the Messiah? His plan is revealed in His word (the Scriptures, in the heavens above (as revealed in our booklet entitled The Heavens Declare Yahweh’s Glory), in the Hebrew alphabet, and even in our own bodies, our DNA!!!!!

YAHWEH’S KINDNESS

Michael Munk writes, “The camel received its name because it is like a ‘weaned’ child and can go for a long time without drinking (R’ Hirsch, Genesis 21:8). Furthermore, the camel is equipped physically to endure tremendous stress, which enables it to help travelers survive the perils of the desert. Thus the camel is a gomel chessed, a performer of kindness.” (The Wisdom in the Hebrew Alphabet, p. 71)

Robert M. Haralick writes, “As a noun lm'GI (gimal) means remuneration and lmeG" (gamel) means mature. There is the verb root lm'GI (gimal), meaning to drive a camel. The associated noun lm'G" (gamal) means camel and lm'G: (gamal) means camel driver. But there is more than this, for the camel received its Hebrew name lm'G" not only because its long neck resembles a g, but because it can go for a long time without drinking just as a weaned child can go for a long time without drinking.

  The energy intelligence of g is then able to bring the desires of the conscious mind into being by nourishing until completely ripe, weaning it from the realm of desire or thought until it is in the realm of complete manifestation. It is thereby able to manifest the wealth of the conscious mind even if that means driving a camel through the desert or through the wilderness of the abyss.

  The shape of g is that of a w that represents the erect man with a y for its feet in motion. Why are the feet in motion? They are in motion to enable the man to run and find those poorer than he is so that he may give them nourishment. Because it is fitting for the benevolent to run after [seek out] the poor. And this is the meaning of ~ydsx twlymg (gemylut chesadim), the practice of loving kindness or the practice of loving deeds.” (The Inner Meaning of the Hebrew Letters, p. 46)

Rabbi Yitzchak Ginsburgh also writes, “The English word ‘camel’ derives from the name of the Hebrew letter gimel. The camel symbolized he motion of travelling through the desert, the journey of life on earth. Carrying the burdens of life as well as rewards, the camel stores within itself the waters of kindness necessary to exist in te dry desert. The camel brings life into the lifeless desert…” (The Alef-Beit, p. 58)

King David wrote, “O Yahweh, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure. For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand presseth me sore. There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger; neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sin. For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me. My wounds stink and are corrupt because of my foolishness. I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long. For my loins are filled with a loathsome disease: and there is no soundness in my flesh. I am feeble and sore broken: I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart.,” Psa. 38:1-8.

Our great burden (-s) is the sins that so easily beset us. But the Psalmist encourages, “Cast thy burden upon Yahweh, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved,” Psa. 55:22.

Yahshua came to bear our sinful burdens, “Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of Elohim, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and Yahweh hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken. And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth,” Isa. 53:1-9.

Our sinful lives are like being in an empty and barren desert, or wilderness. Yahshua, as the gimel (g), is the One Who administers the loving kindness of Yahweh to us all.

THE FLOW

Robert Haralick writes, “...the g has a head on top, and is like a pipe. Just like a pipe, the g draws from above through its head, and disperses through its tail. This is the g.

  Rabbi Kaplan interprets this to mean that g draws wisdom from above and dispenses wisdom through its tail. (The Inner Meaning of the Hebrew Letters, p. 48)

Rabbi Yitzchak Ginsburg writes, “The foot of the gimel (g), symbolized by the yud (y), is the ability to give a part of oneself to another. The yud, the smallest yet most compact and concentrated of the letters, represents a point of essential self, a seed of reproduction. Its lower position, as the foot of the gimel, is the secret of actual giving to another. In Kabbalah, we are taught that the head symbolizes receiving; the body, integrating with oneself; the feet (including the brit), giving to another. When the yud of the gimel, the rich man or male, is given to the dalet (d), the poor man or female, the dalet becomes an impregnated hei (h). This explains the sequence of these three letters: the gimel, the rich man, running after the ‘static’ dalet (as a door, merely able to turn on its hinges, to open or close), the poor man, in order to fill his needs, the hei.

  At the level of worlds, the run of the rich to the poor, the full to the empty, is engraved in the laws of nature. Water (the masculine power of chesed [lovingkindness and charity]) runs down to fill the lowest, empty basin. Higher energy states run to lower energy states. In living creatures, parents bear and thereafter care for and feed offspring. The gimel gives life, the pulse of ‘run and return,’ fully to become manifest in the letter chet (x), the letter of life, as will be explained.

  As explained above, the gimel is in a state of motion, primarily downward, to infuse the previously lifeless body with life: ‘And He blew into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living creature’.” (The Alef-Beit, pp. 54-55)

What is being said here? This is all wrapped up in mysteries of the kingdom of heaven! When Yahshua, the Word of Yahweh, created the heavens and the earth, including the man (Adam), a door was opened.

Yahshua breathed into Adam’s nostrils the breath of life and Adam and Eve became living souls/beings/creatures. The name Adam is constructed to reveal the true meaning in the Hebrew. His name consists of aleph (a), dalet (d), and mem (~), the final form of the letter m (mem).

This tells us that Adam is the first, chief, head of men (a), who is the door (d), of all who are born into this physical, fleshly, carnal world.

The mem (~/m) is the picture of water in the Pictorial and Paleo Hebrew (m/m). Yahshua likened water to the Holy Spirit in John 7:37-39. The English word for spirit, is generally translated from the Hebrew word ruach, which is also variously translated as breath, air, etc. There is the “spirit” (breath/ruach) in man, and the “spirit” (breath/ruach) of Yahweh/Elohim.

All men came under the “sting of death” through their forebears Adam and Eve (Gen. 3; Ro. 5), which left us all in a dry, empty, and hopeless desert of death. The door to spiritual life was closed. But Yahshua, Who is the Word of Yahweh, the One Who spoke the heavens and earth into existence, Who has always been with the Father (Psa. 336-9; Jn. 1:1-14; 17:5, etc.), entered into this world through the door (d), the womb and matrix of the virgin Miriam, so that He could bring grace (represented by the number 5, and the hei [h] in the Hebrew alphabet) to mankind.

The idea that the Modern Hebrew presents is that the hei (h) is a combination of the dalet/door (d) that has been impregnated with the yod (y)       d.

Yahshua came from heaven (Jn. 3:13, 31; 6:33, 38, 42; Eph. 4:9). He was rich and most powerful as Elohim, but He humbled Himself, descended from heaven, becoming poor so that He might give of Himself to us making us rich also (Phil 2:7-8).

Yahshua became the second Adam (1 Cor. 15:45), which makes Him the door (Jn. 10) through Whom we are able to enter into a new immortal, incorruptible life.

When Yahshua completed the work of redemption, He returned to the place from whence He came, that is, the right hand of the Father (Jn. 17:4-11; Heb. 1:1-3, etc.).

CLOTHING AND CIRCUMCISION

Amazingly, the second, third and fourth letters of the Hebrew alphabet (dgb), form the Hebrew word beged, which is the word for clothing! (2 Cor. 5:1-4) Yahshua came to clothe us with the garments of righteousness, humility, and eternal life.

Robert M. Haralick writes, “The concealed meaning of g can be revealed by understanding lm, which when written lm' is an alternate to lWm, which is the root meaning to circumcise, to cut off. What to cut off is apparent from the spiritual meaning of circumcise, which is to purify one’s heart.” (The Inner Meaning of the Hebrew Letters, p. 50)

Paul writes, “Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after the Messiah. For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Headship bodily. And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of the Messiah: Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of Yahweh, who hath raised him from the dead,” Col. 2:8-12.

Are you able to see the power of the Word of Yahweh? Yahshua is the Aleph (a) and Tau (t), the beginning and the ending, the first and the last. Yahshua told His disciples that He is the way, the truth, and the life (Jn. 14:6). He, as the Aleph (a—Pictorial Hebrew), and Tau (t—Pictorial Hebrew), and the life (c, g—Pictorial Hebrew). Our own DNA bears witness to this fact.

People don’t see it, but even the Scriptures bear the mark of the Aleph and Tau. Yahweh shows that the heavens and earth are marked with the Aleph and Tau in His own word. In the book of Genesis we read, “In the beginning Elohim created the heavens and the earth,” Gen. 1:1.

The Hebrew of this verse looks like this:

Converting the Hebrew into the English, it reads from right to left, “Bereshiyt bara Elohim et (aleph-tau) hashemayim ve et (aleph-tau) ha erets.”

The aleph-tau is replete throughout the Scriptures just as the A and T is replete in our own DNA. This is a testimony to this author that confirms Yahshua as the One Who created it all. HalleluYah!!!!!

Hello everyone, my name is George the giraffe. I have been asked to speak to you about the evolutionary process that brought me to the point that I exist today. Honestly, we have been able to do some marvelous things in the process. This is the story that I want to relate to you.

Evolution is such an amazing thing. It has taught our species to do so many things that are seemingly impossible in today's world.

I am a big bull giraffe that stands 18 feet tall! I can reach as high as 22 feet! It would take a pretty long ladder for you to reach my height. Some people wouldn’t be able to make it that high as they are afraid of heights. I must say that it is a good ways to the ground from up here.

Evolutionists claim that we had to grow this tall in order to reach those tasty scrumptious leaves that grow on the taller bushes and trees. Now, please don't ask me to answer any questions as to why the answer to our problems of food for our survival caused us to grow this tall. After all, you know....we just live for today and the moment. We don't say much of anything so when someone doesn't talk much, it's really hard to keep the history of our origins in the forefront of our minds. We just don't talk about what happened yesterday, as a matter of fact, we don't even think of yesterday, and we certainly don't make any plans for tomorrow. You know, we just take things as they come. It is strange though, that we evolved our height to reach those leaves while other vegetarian creatures like monkey, etc. just learned to climb up that high.

My neck is 10 feet long! At least, that's what I have been told by men who are able to utilize rulers and measuring tapes. Let's see, if I had gone to school and learned some arithmetic, I would have been able to figure this out for myself, but who cares about school and learning. I had rather wander among the trees, my favorite place because that's where my food is. Anyway, it is an engineering marvel. Pretty good for someone who has never looked at a drawing board, never been to school, never learned to count, never learned my A,B,C's, etc. right? In reality, for us to be able to design and engineer ourselves without the knowledge to do so is such an amazing thing!

Speaking of counting, did you know that I only have seven neck bones? You also have seven neck bones, and the tiniest mouse has seven neck bones. How did we all figure that one out together? Did you know that seven is a very important number? There is the Scriptural account where Elohim created the heavens and earth in six days, and rested on the seventh. There are seven annual holy days that reveal to Yahweh's people His plan of salvation and completion.

I think that there may be some spiritual implications concerning the head of a body sitting on seven neck bones. The neck connects the head to the rest of the body. I think that the Scriptures say that Yahweh the Father is the head of the Messiah, Who is, in turn, the head over the men, and the men are to be the heads over the women (1 Cor. 11:3). Furthermore, the assembly of believers is the body (Eph. 1:22-23; Col. 1:24). The neck, with its seven neck bones could be a type of Yahshua, Who is the Mediator between heaven and earth (1 Tim. 2:5). He joins the head (the Father) to the body (the assembly). He has seven one thousand year days (Peter says a thousand years is as one day, and a day as a thousand years [2 Pet. 3:8]) to complete His plan and to bring forth a new heavens and earth wherein dwells righteousness (See Rev. 21 and 22). At that time the assembly will be given an incorruptible, immortal body that the Father, through Yahshua can dwell with and in for all eternity.

OTHER AMAZING WORKS!

In order to pump the all important blood to our brains, we giraffes had to perform another marvelous miracle. We had to develop a huge heart to do the job. Our hearts are about 2 feet long and weigh about 25 pounds! (All of these numbers, weights, and measures are making me dizzy.) But my heart has to be large and strong in order to pump the blood up to my brain. As big and strong as our hearts are, you would think that we would suffer from high blood pressure, or that it would blow out our brains, but the law of gravity helps to adjust the pressure so that the pressure is just right by the time it reaches our brains.

I wonder where this law of gravity came from. You know, there is a body of lawmakers in Washington D.C. There are bodies of lawmakers in all of the 50 states. Men make laws for men to live by. If there was no body of legislators, then there would be no law for men to govern themselves by. This means that where there is no lawmaker, there is no law. The existence of law demands a lawgiver. The law of gravity wasn't made by men. It existed before men. So there has to be a greater lawmaker than man.

This works well for us while our heads are extended high above our bodies reaching for leaves in the branches of the trees, but what happens when we have to lower our head to get an all important drink of water? Won't the excessive pressure blow our brains out? Well, thankfully our ancestors learned to work around this problem by devising a system of valves in the arteries so that when we lower our heads the valves automatically shut the blood flow and pressure down. But what about the blood that is beyond the last valve that is just entering the brain? It still has the normal strength of the pressure on it, but once again, my ancestors devised a spongy "wonder net" of blood vessels under our brain that automatically soaks up any extra blood, and takes the pressure off of the brain. The "wonder net" then slowly empties the blood into our brain so that we don't get dizzy, or pass out, or suffer a stroke.

But then our ancestors had to deal with another problem. Since the heart has to produce strong pressure to send the blood to the brain, what about the blood that comes out of the brain traveling to the rest of the body? You know, the lungs, kidneys, and even the heart itself. (I have never had a course in anatomy so I'm not sure how I know all of these things.) The pull of gravity, in combination with the pressure from our heart, should cause the blood to rush down our necks and blow out our other organs. It just so happens that we developed another system of valves in the veins so that they would regulate the blood rushing back down from the head to the rest of the body.

I have no idea how many of our ancestors died over the millions of years evolutionists say that we took to evolve as we are today. Which ancestor was it that was able to figure all of this out? Which ancestor figured that we needed long necks to reach those leaves way up there? How did he know that he needed a large super-powerful heart to pump blood up so high? How did he know that we only needed seven bones in our neck? How did he know that we needed a system of valves in our arteries to cut the blood pressure down when we lowered our heads? How did he know that we needed a "wonder net" to absorb the extra blood to keep us from getting dizzy and even passing out. How did he know that we needed a system of valves to regulate the blood pressure going back down our necks to the rest of our bodies? It really isn't something that could just slowly develop over time because everything has to be designed to work perfectly all at the same time or we just die.

Everything had to be put together suddenly, all at one time. It had to work perfectly from the start. When I was born into this world, I didn't have to think about how I was made. I am so glad that one of my ancestors was so wise and intelligent that he was able to design us from the beginning.

Or was it my ancestors? I never went to school. I never learned anything that has to do with design, engineering, etc. My first ancestor would have been just like me. He never was schooled, never looked at a drawing board, never took courses in anatomy, science, math, design, engineering, etc. (I'm getting dizzy again! HELP!!!!!) I think that the only way that I could ever have come into existence with the attributes that I have for life and survival is if a super intelligent Creator placed my ancestors here. As a matter of fact, our make-up demands a super intelligent Creator.

I think that there is a Psalm that applies here. It goes like this, "Praise ye Yahweh. Praise ye Yahweh from the heavens: praise him in the heights. Praise ye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his hosts. Praise ye him, sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars of light. Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that be above the heavens. Let them praise the name of Yahweh: for he commanded, and they were created. He hath also stablished them for ever and ever: he hath made a decree which shall not pass. Praise Yahweh from the earth, ye dragons, and all deeps: Fire, and hail; snow, and vapour; stormy wind fulfilling his word: Mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars: Beasts, and all cattle; creeping things, and flying fowl: Kings of the earth, and all people; princes, and all judges of the earth: Both young men, and maidens; old men, and children: Let them praise the name of Yahweh: for his name alone is excellent; his glory is above the earth and heaven. He also exalteth the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints; even of the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Praise ye Yahweh," Psa. 148:All.

Yes,  I will praise Yahweh for all of His marvelous wonders! My own existence declares His praise, His power, His honor, His esteem, His glory, His marvelous infinite intelligence!

Evolutionists are going to wake up one day, and they are going to understand how their wisdom has been made foolish, "For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this world? Hath not Yahweh made foolish the wisdom of this world?" 1 Cor. 1:19-20.

Do you really want to be wise, or do you want to be foolish? Scripture says, "The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of wisdom: And the knowledge of the holy ones is understanding," Prov. 9:10. Evolution may appear to be wise to man, but it will soon be made to be utterly foolish and empty. So how about you? Do you want today's wisdom that is really foolishness, and passes away, or do you want the wisdom that endures for all eternity? Follow the Proverb, follow Yahshua, follow Yahweh's word, give Him the praise that He deserves, and live.

As for me, I'm getting weak from hunger, and am still dizzy from all of this thinking. Wow! Look at those delicious leaves on that tree over there! Dinner, here I come!  By Jerry Healan

The sixth letter of the Hebrew alphabet is the waw or vav, depending on which Hebrew dialect one speaks. It serves as both a consonant, or a vowel. As a consonant, it generally carries the "v" sound. But as a vowel, depending on which Hebrew word it is in, it can carry every vowel sound; a, e, i, o, u, and oo (w), as also do all of the Hebrew letters that serve as both consonants and vowels. It looks like this f/w/w respectively in the Pictorial, Paleo, and Modern Hebrew. Its name waw or vav in the Hebrew means hook, nail, or tent peg. It also serves as the number six (6).

The aleph (a/a/a), hei (e/h/h), waw/vav (f/w/w), yod (i/y/y), and ayin (o/[/[) all serve interchangeably as consonants and vowels. Each of these letters can carry almost all of the vowel sounds enumerated in the above paragraph, especially the aleph, hei, waw/vav, and ayin.

It is generally spelled ff/ww/ww ((waw/vav), but can also be spelled faf/waw/waw, or fif/wyw/wyw. The gematria of ww is 12, the gematria of waw is 13, and the gematria of wyw is 22. It serves as the number six (6), but the addition of the two waw's in its name adds to twelve (w [6] + w [6] = 12). Twelve, of course, is a very significant number with Yahweh because the original sons of Jacob/Israel were twelve. There are generally twelve months (moons) in a year. The Mazzaroth (Zodiac) consists of twelve signs. There were twelve loaves of shewbread on the table in the tabernacle and later the temple. Yahshua originally chose twelve apostles. There will be twelve gates into city of New Jerusalem (Rev. 21) and twelve foundation stones (Rev. 21).

Twelve is Yahweh's number for government. He made Adam on the sixth (6/w) day, and thus, the number for man is six (6/w). He made Adam the Sovereign, gave him dominion, over the earth (Gen. 1:26-28). Therefore, we have the w (sixth day), and man's number w (six) which equals to w + w = 12 (dominion/sovereignty).

If we spell the waw as waw, then we get the number 13 (w [6] + a [1] + w [6] = 13). This is interesting because Jacob adopted the two sons of Joseph as his own sons, which made thirteen tribes instead of twelve. The Hebrew word for "one" is echad. The gematria for echad (dxa) is thirteen (a [1] + x [8] + d [4] = 13). The name Levi means to join or unite. The Levitical priesthood was established to bring Yahweh and Israel into a united relationship. It is also interesting that America became united into a nation through thirteen original colonies. That is the reason for the thirteen stripes on the U. S. flag.

If we spell the waw as wyw, then the gematria is twenty-two (w [6] + y [10] + w [6] = 22). This is also interesting because there are twenty-two original letters in the Hebrew alphabet. What is also interesting is that the 22nd letter of the first verse of Genesis is the waw (w). Let's take a look at this verse:

Bereshiyt bara Elohim et ha shemayim ve et ha erets, which looks like this in the Hebrew:

The point here is that the waw, being a hook or conjunction, appearing as the 22nd letter of the first verse of Genesis, is bringing together, hooking together the heavens with the earth. This is a type of Yahshua Who is the Aleph and Tau (Rev. 1:8, etc.). The Aleph and Tau, being the first and last letter of the Hebrew alphabet which includes all 22 letters of the alphabet. This brings to remembrance the Scriptures that witness that Yahshua is the One Who brings together in one all things in heaven and in earth, "That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in the Messiah, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him," Eph. 1:10. Again, Paul writes, "For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell; And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven," Col. 1:19-20.

The number six has to do with physical completion. This has to do with the six main directions of the physical world. They are up, down, before, behind, right, and left, or up, down, north, south, east, and west. (The Wisdom in the Hebrew Alphabet by Michael Monk, p. 94) Elohim completed the physical creation on the sixth day (Gen. 1:31, 2:1).

DIVISION AND (w) UNITY

The Scriptures decree, "In the beginning Elohim created the heavens and (w) the earth. And (w) the earth was without form, and (w) void; and (w) darkness was upon the face of the deep. And (w) the Spirit of Elohim moved upon the face of the waters.  And (w) Elohim said, Let there be light: and (w) there was light. And (w) Elohim saw the light, that it was good: and (w) Elohim divided the light from the darkness. And (w) Elohim called the light Day, and (w) the darkness he called Night. And (w) the evening and (w) the morning were the first day," (Gen. 1:1-5).

Do you see how Yahweh created by dividing, but utilized the waw (w) as a conjunction, and/or hook to hold it together? Thus, even though the darkness and light were divided, they were hooked together  with the waw (w) to bring about one day. Also, as already alluded to, in Yahshua, the heavens and earth are brought together in one.

It continues, "And (w) Elohim said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and (w) let it divide the waters from the waters. And (w) Elohim made the firmament, and (w) divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and (w) it was so. And (w) Elohim called the firmament Heaven. And (w) the evening and the morning were the second day," Gen. 1:6-7.

In this account on the second day, Yahweh divided between the waters thereby creating the atmosphere which, of course was necessary in order to bring forth life upon the earth. But it is still "hooked" (w) together into one.

"And (w) Elohim said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and (w) let the dry land appear: and (w) it was so. And (w) Elohim called the dry land Earth; and (w) the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and (w) Elohim saw that it was good. And (w) Elohim said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and (w) the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and (w) it was so. And (w) the earth brought forth grass, and (w) herb yielding seed after his kind, and (w) the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and (w) Elohim saw that it was good. And (w) the evening and the morning were the third day," Gen. 1:8-13.

Three is a type of completion. For example, it takes three lines to form a triangle. On these first three days, Yahweh is, in essence, creating the third dimensional world wherein we exist. Notice that with the completion of the third day's activities life is able to come forth.

"And (w) Elohim said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and (w) let them be for signs, and (w) for seasons, and (w) for days, and (w) years: And (w) let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and (w) it was so. And (w) Elohim made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and (w) the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. And (w) Elohim set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, And (w) to rule over the day and (w) over the night, and (w) to divide the light from the darkness: and (w) Elohim saw that it was good. And (w) the evening and (w) the morning were the fourth day," Gen. 1:14-19.

On the fourth day, Yahweh went beyond the earth's atmosphere to set the sun, moon, and stars in the solar system, yet hooking them together with the waw (w), so that they become one. The earth is "hooked" together with the solar system, which in turn is "hooked" with the universe (the stars).

"And (w) Elohim said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and (w) fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. And (w) Elohim created great whales, and (w) every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and (w) every winged fowl after his kind: and (w) Elohim saw that it was good. And (w) Elohim blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and (w) multiply, and (w) fill the waters in the seas, and (w) let fowl multiply in the earth. And (w) the evening and (w) the morning were the fifth day," Gen. 1:20-23.

On the second day of creation Yahweh created the atmosphere by dividing the waters. Now, on the fifth day, He created the creatures that would live in the lower waters, and the winged fowl that would fly in the atmosphere.

"And (w) Elohim said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and (w) creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and (w) it was so. And (w) Elohim  made the beast of the earth after his kind, and (w) cattle after their kind, and (w) everything that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and (w) Elohim saw that it was good. And (w) Elohim said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and (w) let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and (w) over the fowl of the air, and (w) over the cattle, and (w) over all the earth, and (w) over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So Elohim created man in his own image, in the image of Elohim created he him; male and (w) female created he them. And (w) Elohim blessed them, and (w) Elohim said unto them, Be fruitful, and (w) multiply, and (w) replenish the earth, and (w) subdue it: and (w) have dominion over the fish of the sea, and (w) over the fowl of the air, and (w) over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. And (w) Elohim said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and (w) every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. And (w) to every beast of the earth, and (w) to every fowl of the air, and (w) to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and (w) it was so. And (w) Elohim saw every thing that he had made, and (w), behold, it was very good. And (w) the evening and (w) the morning were the sixth day," Gen. 1:24-31.

Six is two times three (2 x 3 = 6). Notice that in the first set of three days plant life was brought forth, grasses, herbs, trees, etc. But this type of life is bound to the earth in only one place by its roots. In the second set of three days, a different type of life was brought forth, that is, life that had the freedom to move in the waters, in the air, and on the land, including the apex of Yahweh's creation, which was the man who was to be the sovereign over the earth.

But we can see from the first chapter of Genesis how Yahweh created by dividing, yet everything is "hooked" together by the waw (w). Almost every chapter and book in the Torah begins with the waw hooking it all together.

THE TABERNACLE

The tabernacle of witness made by Moses and the Israelites in the wilderness for Yahweh's habitation was made of curtains (yeriyah) which were connected to their pillars (ammuwd) by hooks (waw [ww]).

The tabernacle was a physical man-made type of Yahweh's heavenly dwelling place. Isaiah is inspired to proclaim, "Have ye not known? have ye not heard? hath it not been told you from the beginning? have ye not understood from the foundations of the earth? It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in: That bringeth the princes to nothing; he maketh the judges of the earth as vanity," Isa. 40:21-23.

The Psalmist adds, " Bless Yahweh, O my soul. O Yahweh my Elohim, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty. Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain: Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind: Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire: Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever. Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains," Psa. 104:1-6.

But the earth has been separated from Yahweh because of the sins of mankind (Isa. 59:2) so Yahweh had to drive a nail (waw), a tent peg (waw) into the ground so that He could bring heaven and earth together in one again. That nail, that tent peg was none other than the cross of Yahshua the Messiah (Eph. 1:10; Col. 1:19-20.

However, Isaiah also reveals that the one on the cross in today's world is not the true Messiah, "Thus saith Adonai Yahweh of hosts, Go, get thee unto this treasurer, even unto Shebna, which is over the house, and say, What hast thou here? and whom hast thou here, that thou hast hewed thee out a sepulchre here, as he that heweth him out a sepulchre on high, and that graveth an habitation for himself in a rock? Behold, Yahweh will carry thee away with a mighty captivity, and will surely cover thee. He will surely violently turn and toss thee like a ball into a large country: there shalt thou die, and there the chariots of thy glory shall be the shame of thy master's house. And I will drive thee from thy station, and from thy state shall he pull thee down. And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah: And I will clothe him with thy robe, and strengthen him with thy girdle, and I will commit thy government into his hand: and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah. And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open. And I will fasten him as a nail in a sure place; and he shall be for a glorious throne to his father's house. And they shall hang upon him all the glory of his father's house, the offspring and the issue, all vessels of small quantity, from the vessels of cups, even to all the vessels of flagons. In that day, saith Yahweh of hosts, shall the nail that is fastened in the sure place be removed, and be cut down, and fall; and the burden that was upon it shall be cut off: for Yahweh hath spoken it," Isa. 22:15-25.

Today's nail (cross) driven into a sure place is the one that is named Jesus Christ. All of the treasures and glory of Elohim's house hangs upon him. But the true Messiah is Yahshua of Nazareth. When He returns to establish the kingdom of heaven on earth, the false messiah will be removed and cut off.

Yahshua will then be the true nail that is driven into the sure place. All of the treasures of the heavenly temple will hang on Him forevermore.
