The Ayin is the sixteenth letter of the Hebrew
alphabet. If we take the number 16, adding the numerals together (1 + 6) the
result is 7. Interestingly, the Ayin serves as the number 70, which is 7 x 10!
There are so many amazing aspects to this letter. Let’s see what we can
discover.
By Jerry Healan
The
ayin looks like this o, [, [ respectively in Pictorial, Paleo, and Modern
Hebrew. It is a picture of an eye, fountain, or well. The very name ayin means the same.
The Modern Hebrew letter [ is said to be a zayin (z,
the seventh letter) on the left side, and a yod
(y, the tenth letter) on the right side, joined
together. This would give us 7 x 10 = 70, as well as 7 + 10 = 17.
Seventeen is a most important number in the spiritual significance of
numbers. It is the 7th prime number. A prime number is a number that is only
divisible by one, and itself. Again, the number 7 is a most important number as
it has to with spiritual perfection and completion, rest, blessing, covenant, a
sign, etc., etc.
When we look at this combination of 7 and 10, we have learned that the zayin
(7), in the original Pictorial Hebrew, is the picture of an implement utilized
for harvesting or reaping (z),
while the modern day zayin is
the picture of a sword (z).
The yod
is the picture of a hand or arm (i)
in Pictorial Hebrew. At the end of the age Yahshua will reap (z) all of His seed, His
people, His children into His barn, or kingdom (Mt. 13:30). He is the right hand
(i) of the Father and out of
His mouth goes a sharp sword (z) with which He will smite the nations (Rev.
19:15).
Looking at the word ayin (nio)
in the Pictorial Hebrew, we see the first letter ayin
(o), the second letter yod (i),
and the third letter nun
(n). The ayin is the well or fountain (o) of the hand’s (i) seed or heirs (n).
The eye, of course, has to do
with vision. It is one of the most important senses by which the natural man can
learn. It is one of the 5 senses.
THE LAMP OR LIGHT
Our eye is the lamp of the body (Mt. 6:22). We can utilize our eye (-s)
for good or for evil. Mother Chavvah (Eve) utilized her eyes to look upon the
tree of the knowledge of good and evil. It looked like a tree that was good for
food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to
make one wise…,” Gen. 3:6. This should teach us that we can’t trust what
we see with our eyes.
Michael Monk writes that the actions of the body are guided by the eyes.
Having eaten from the forbidden tree of Knowledge their bodies came into
conflict with their spirit. No longer could they master their senses. Their
eyes—created to be tools in service to [Elohim] - became agents of evil
impulses. They became lustful. Sforno
explains that after the fall of man, their eyes no longer aspired to the
spiritual, but became agents of pleasure and temptations of the flesh (Mor D’ror).
Rabbi Dov
Ber of Mezritch, successor to the Baal Shem Tov, explains that the great
primeval Light of Creation had been available to all, but when [Elohim] saw that
few people would be worthy of enjoying it, He concealed it. Where did He hide
it? In the Torah. Therefore, through a diligent and unremitting pursuit of an
understanding of the Torah, one can attain a measure of [Elohim’s]
wisdom—revealed from between its lines and letters. That is Primeval Light! As
Zohar puts it: the words of the Torah are likened to a nut which has an outer
shell while its kernel is securely preserved. (Midrash
HaNeelam, Ruth) (The Wisdom in the Hebrew Alphabet,
pp. 171-172)
How true! The true light of the Torah is Yahshua! He told the people of
His day, “39Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye
have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. 40And ye will not come
to me, that ye might have life. 41I receive not honour from men. 42But I know you, that
ye have not the love of Elohim in you. 43I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive
me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive. 44How can ye believe,
which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from
Elohim only? 45Do
not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you,
even Moses, in whom ye trust. 46For
had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me. 47But if ye believe not
his writings, how shall ye believe my words?” Jn. 5:39-47.
Thus, the “kernel” is still hidden from those who have possessed the
Scriptures and diligently studied them, looking, searching with the eyes in
order to seek to satisfy themselves with their own righteousness, and forsaking
the true righteousness of Yahweh.
He continues, “R’
Hirsch (Genesis 1:4) relates rAa, light
to rW[, to awaken
(since a and [ are interchangeable). This teaches us that
light is the element that “awakens” creation to development, just as
physical light influences plants to grow, spiritual and intellectual light prods
man to achieve his potential.
The Holy Script speaks anthropomorphically of an ‘eye of [Elohim].’
This does not refer to a physical organ but to the concept of Heavenly
perception that guides [Elohim’s] Divine Providence to the individual.
[Elohim’s] attribute of perception appears both in the singular—hwhy !y[E,
the eye of Yahweh (Psa. 33:18) - and in the
plural—hwhy ynEy[E,
the eyes of Yahweh (Psa. 34:15) The Midrash
applies the plural form to [Elohim’s Providence over the righteous: they earn
His maximum attention, attention from both eyes, as it were. The less righteous,
however, are not worthy of such undivided concern; they receive attention from
one eye, as it were.” (IBID,
p. 174)
Are your eyes open to what is said here? Have you ever wondered why there
is only one eye on the back of the dollar bill? The eye of the Illuminati has
only one eye revealed to the world. This means that the Edomite Jews who are
ruling the world today think that both of the eyes of their elohim are on them
while the rest of the world only deserves one eye of Elohim!
If we translate the name Rothschild (the heads of the Illuminati), which
means “red shield” into Hebrew, it would be ~da !gm (magen edom [remember, Hebrew
reads from right to left)! Edom, of course, is Esau!
He further states, “The evil עֵשָׂו,
Esau or Edom,
was blessed with wealth and success in This World, while his twin brother,
Jacob, was to inherit the World to Come. Esau, the ancestor of Edom/Rome is
symbolized by the bent foot of the [,
for despite his seemingly unbounded power, he must eventually succumb to the
domain of Israel (Osios R’ Akiva).”
(IBID, p. 178)
MORE INTELLIGENCE
Robert M. Haralick writes, “The numerical value of [ is 70, which means that [ is the energy intelligence of z (zayin),
whose value is 7, projected into existence. Hence the energy intelligence of [ is that of the flow of a (aleph) projected into existence, and
this flow is insight and consciousness.
The word !y[
….has the meaning of eye, face, look, appearance,
sight, aperture, bud, sparkle, or gleam. And when we know the eye we realize
that the eye is more than the eye. We become conscious of something deeper, for
“The eye is not satisfied with just
seeing,” Eccl. 1:8.
This is because it is by the light of the eye that we can see and follow the correct path.
Therefore, the eye is deep and protected.
“Guard me like the apple of Thine eye,” Psa. 17:8.
And where shall our eyes be? “For the eyes of mankind, as of all the tribes of
Israel shall be towards Yahweh,” Zech. 9:1. “Mine eyes are toward Yahweh,” Psa. 25:15.
“Lift up thine eyes on high, and behold who has
created these things, that brings out their host by number,” Isa. 40:26.
...The word !yI[; (its constructive form being !y[e [ehyin]) has the meaning of spring or fountain.
A fountain is a subterranean reservoir that feeds the oceans and rivers….!yI[; is
related to the verb !yE[I
(eeyen), which means to consider, go into the matter, think over, peruse, weigh
carefully, reflect, study, meditate, ponder, and the verb
!y:[U
(ooyan),
which means to be balanced.
(The Inner Meaning of the Hebrew Letters,
pp. 229-231)
“Words that end in !y[ include מַעְיָן (mayan) which means spring, fountain, source, or well and has the alternate meaning of thought, attention, or consideration, יָן[Um. (meh-ooyan),
which means balanced,
evenly balanced, or poised as well as rhombus
or diamond shaped. The spring or
fountain or well of sight and balance is insight
and consciousness. This is the
revealed meaning of [….
WINE
The concealed meaning of !yI[; can be found from the study of the form ny (yod
and nun), which itself has no literal meaning. In this case we
must look for related forms. The word !yIy:
(yayin) means wine
and the word יָןy: (yayan)
means winemaker or wine expert. When the form ny combines with x (chet),
the letter energy intelligence of power of being, there results the form xny, which is the root meaning to oppress, to tread down, to trample underfoot,
to deceive, beat, trick, bamboozle, maltreat, vex, annoy,
or irritate. (IBID, p. 233-234)
Is this not what the winemaker does to the grape in order to extract her
juices for wine? Amazingly, the gematria of the Hebrew word nyy (yayin/wine) is 70! The wine is the eye
(ayin) of the grape!
Michael Monk writes, “dws acy nyy snkn, When wine goes in, a secret comes out
(Eruvin 65a). On a simple level this means that wine
loosen’s one’s tongue. However, a deeper perception of this adage reveals
that the words nyy,
wine, and dws,
secret, each have a gematria of seventy.” (The Wisdom in the Hebrew Alphabet,
p. 176)
Scripturally and spiritually, there are two prominent types of wine.
There is the wine of fornication of the Babylonian harlot, “1And
there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with
me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great
whore that sitteth upon many waters: 2With whom the kings of the earth have
committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth
have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. 3So he carried me
away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet
coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. 4And the woman was
arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones
and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness
of her fornication: 5And
upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF
HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. 6And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of
the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Yahshua: and when I saw her, I
wondered with great admiration,” Rev. 17:1-6.
The book of Proverbs reveals, “26My son, give me
thine heart, and let thine eyes
observe my ways. 27For
a whore is a deep ditch;
and a strange woman is a narrow
pit. 28She
also lieth in wait as for a prey, and increaseth the transgressors among men. 29Who hath woe? Who
hath sorrow? Who hath contentions? Who hath babbling? Who hath wounds without
cause? Who hath redness of eyes? 30They
that tarry long at the wine;
they that go to seek mixed wine.
31Look
not thou upon the wine
when it is red, when it giveth
his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright. 32At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder. 33Thine eyes shall behold strange women, and thine heart
shall utter perverse things. 34Yea,
thou shalt be as he that lieth down in the midst of the sea, or as he that lieth
upon the top of a mast. 35They
have stricken me, shalt thou say, and I was not sick; they have beaten me, and I
felt it not: when shall I awake? I will seek it yet again,” Prov. 23:26-35.
There are hidden secrets (dws) in this string of Proverbs, which if we
truly understood them, we would be much more careful concerning how we live our
lives, how we understand true history, and how the Scriptures would speak to us.
The harlot is as revealed in Rev. 17:1-6. She works to bring all under
the bite of the serpent (Satan). Her companion is revealed as the Tsar (the
narrow pit), the head of the eastern half of the Roman Empire, the head over
Edom (red). Rome’s church, Rome’s kingdom, Rome’s leaders work to make the
world drunk with the wine of spiritual fornication.
Then, there is the wine of the wisdom of Yahweh, “1Wisdom
hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars: 2She hath killed
her beasts; she hath mingled her wine;
she hath also furnished her table. 3She hath sent forth her maidens: she crieth
upon the highest places of the city, 4whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: as
for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him, 5Come, eat of my
bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled.
6Forsake the
foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding,” Prov. 9:1-6.
Isaiah cries, “1Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the
waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without
money and without price. 2Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is
not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently
unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in
fatness. 3Incline
your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an
everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David,” Isa. 55:1-3.
The wisdom spoken of here, of course, is Yahshua the Messiah, “But we
preach the Messiah crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the
Greeks foolishness; But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, the Messiah
the power of Yahweh, and the wisdom of Yahweh,”
1 Cor. 1:23-24.
Yahshua brought forth bread and wine at the final supper that He had with
His disciples before He suffered (Mt. 26:26-28).
Later He and
His disciples went into the Garden of Gethsemane. Most people don’t understand
what Gethsemane means. It is a Hebrew combination of gath
(a press for wine or oil), and shemen
(the liquid obtained from the olive, or grape). It was in the Garden of
Gethsemane that He was under such pressure that He sweat,
as it were, great drops of blood (Lk. 22:44).
FOUR LEVELS
According to the Jews, there are four levels or manners for studying the
Scriptures. They call this system PaRDeS.
The first level of understanding is Pashat (simple). The Pashat is the literal meaning.
It is similar to what Protestant hermeneutics calls "Gramatical Historical
Exegesis" and also similar to what Protestant Hermeneutics calls "The
Literal Principle."
The second level of understanding is called in Hebrew Remez (hint). This is the implied
meaning of the text. Peculiarities in the text are regarded as hinting at a
deeper truth than that conveyed by its Pashat. Often this "hinting"
back refers to a prior example where the same word or concept has been
previously taught in the text. Hinting back to a prior understanding reinforces
the intended meaning in the now and present of the speaker.
The third level of
understanding the Scriptures is called in Hebrew "drash" meaning "search", this is the
allegorical,
typological or homiletical application of the text.
Creativity is used to search the text in relation to the rest of the Scriptures,
other literature, or life itself in order to develop an allegorical, typological
or homiletical application of the text. This process involves eisegesis (reading of the
text) of the text. But understand, before something can be “like” something
else, it can never remove the reality of what it compares itself to. The context
determines the peshat, and then and only then can we have a drash. We cannot
have a drash without a prior peshat!
The fourth level is sod (dws)
meaning
"hidden". This understanding is
the hidden, secret or mystic meaning of a text. This process often involves
returning the letters of a word to their prime-material state and giving them
new form in order to reveal a hidden meaning (interpreting them through the
numbers of the letters for example). An example may be found in Rev. 13:18 where
the identity of the Beast is expressed by its numeric value 666. (Internet)
Remember that the Hebrew word
“sod” (dws) equals to 70. The “sod”
level is similar to a fountain or well (ayin)
that brings forth waters (spirit/spiritual meanings) from the deep “hidden”
places to the light. There absolutely are mysteries hidden in the Scriptures
that Yahweh’s people must search out, discover, and utilize in their walk of
faith!
MORE ON 70
Seventy nations issued from Noah’s sons after the flood (Gen. 10).
Seventy Israelites went down into Egypt (Gen. 46:26-27). “Thou shalt fear
Yahweh thy Elohim; him shalt thou serve, and to him shalt thou cleave, and swear
by his name. He is thy praise, and he is thy Elohim, that hath done for thee
these great and terrible things, which thine eyes have seen. Thy fathers went down into Egypt with
threescore and ten persons; and now Yahweh thy Elohim hath made
thee as the stars of heaven for multitude,” Dt. 10:20-22.
Seventy elders of Israel were chosen to go with Moses, Aaron, Nadab, and
Abihu to worship Yahweh (Ex. 24:1). Yahweh came and placed the spirit of Moses
upon the seventy chosen elders (Num. 11:16).
Yahshua chose seventy to send out, “1After these things the Master
appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into
every city and place, whither he himself would come. 2Therefore said he unto them,
The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the
Master of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest. 3Go your ways: behold, I send
you forth as lambs among wolves. 4Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and
salute no man by the way. 5And
into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house. 6And if the son of peace be
there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again. 7And in the same house remain,
eating and drinking such things as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his
hire. Go not from house to house. 8And into whatsoever city ye enter, and
they receive you, eat such things as are set before you: 9And heal the sick that are
therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of Elohim is come nigh unto you. 10But into whatsoever
city ye enter, and they receive you not, go your ways out into the streets of
the same, and say, 11Even
the very dust of your city, which cleaveth on us, we do wipe off against you:
notwithstanding be ye sure of this, that the kingdom of Elohim is come nigh unto
you. 12But
I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for
that city,” Lk. 10:1-12.
Yahweh had commanded a Sabbatical rest for the land during Israel’s
occupation of it. It was to be allowed to rest every 7th year (Lev. 25). But
Israel refused to observe the land rest so He sent them into captivity in order
for the land could rest for 70 years (2 Chron. 36:20-21; Jer. 25:9-12).
Daniel was shown that there would be seventy weeks (70 x 7 = 490) of
years that were to bring an end to the sins and transgressions of the
Israelites, “24Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people
and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins,
and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting
righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most
Holy. 25Know
therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to
restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks,
and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall,
even in troublous times. 26And
after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself:
and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the
sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the
war desolations are determined.
27And he shall confirm the covenant with many
for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the
oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it
desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon
the desolate,” Dan. 9:24-27.
This 490 years was revealed to be fulfilled in stages. In 7 weeks (49
years) from the time Judah went into captivity until the commandment would go
forth to rebuild Jerusalem. Then it would take another 62 weeks (434 years) to
rebuild Jerusalem and for the true Prince, Yahshua, to be sacrificed, cut off.
The final week (7 years) would come at the end of the age when the Anti-Messiah
will appear and seek to make a covenant with Israel.
Zechariah was shown a stone of grace that had 7 eyes (ayins) on it (Zech. 3:8-10;
4:1-10). Remember that the ayin
is equivalent to 70, thus, 7 x 7 eyes (ayins)
= 490.
Peter asked Yahshua, “Master, how oft shall my brother sin against me,
and I forgive him? till seven times? Yahshua saith unto him, I say not unto
thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven,” Mt. 18:21-22.
Seven ayins
(eyes) typify grace!
Interestingly, the full spelling of the word ayin (!y[)
equals to 130, n
= 50, y = 10, [ = 70; 50 + 10 + 70 = 130. 130 = 5 x 26. 5 is
the number for grace, and revelation, while 26 is the value of the name Yahweh (h = 5, w = 6, h
= 5, y = 10 = 26).
The name Yahweh appears 1800 times in the Torah (the first five books of
Scripture). 1800 = 70 x 26. Thus we can see (ayin = 70) the name (hwhy =
26) of grace 1800 times in the Torah alone!
Yahweh’s Sabbaths and annual Holy Days = 70. There are 52 weekly
Sabbaths per year, then there are 7 days of Unleavened Bread, 1 day of
Pentecost, 1 Feast of Trumpets, 1 Day of Atonement, 7 days of Tabernacles, and 1
Last Great Day = 70!
Furthermore, during Tabernacles under the sacrificial system, 70 bullocks
were sacrificed; 13 day 1, 12, day 2, 11 day 3, 10, day 4, 9 day 5, 8 day 6, 7
day 7; 13 + 12 + 11 + 10 + 9 + 8 + 7 = 70!
The well, the fountain, the eye
of ayin is deep and brings forth many, many
secrets (sod/dws) to light!
YAHSHUA
The last letter in the name Yahshua is the ayin (o/[/[).
As we have discovered and continue to declare, one of the important
meanings of the name Yahweh (efei/hwhy/hwhy) in the Hebrew letters = hand (i) revealed (e) nail (f) revealed (e).
We understand how this name applies to both the Father and the Son
because the Son is the Father’s right hand (Psa. 110). Yet it was the Son
Whose hands had to have the nails driven through them. He told Thomas, “Then
saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold (e) my hands (i);
and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but
believing. And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Master (Adonai) and my Elohim (Elohi),” Jn. 20:27-28. Thomas knew exactly
Who He was!
Yahshua had declared, “37In the last day, that
great day of the feast, Yahshua stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let
him come unto me, and drink. 38He
that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow
rivers of living water. 39(But
this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for
the Holy Spirit was not yet given; because that Yahshua was not yet
glorified.),” Jn. 7:37-38.
Yahshua looks like this in
Pictorial Hebrew: osfei.
Once the nails were driven through the hands (fei), His disciples, those who belong to Him can drink (s [shin equals to teeth through which we eat and
drink]) of that fountain (o)
of living waters, and eat (s)
of the fountain (o)
of the true bread from heaven. HalleluYah!!!!!
THE WITNESS
The Hebrew word for witness is ed (do).
The primordial meaning would be that the eye (o) is the door (d)
to whatever event has occurred. The Israelites were Yahweh’s witnesses (edo/edah) as to the works that He performed in
bringing them out of Egypt, as well as preserving them in the wilderness for 40
years.
Edah (edo)
has been translated as “congregation,” but they were not only the
congregation, but also the witnesses.
The disciples were Yahshua’s witnesses, “But ye shall receive power,
after that the Holy Spirit is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses
(edo) unto me both in Jerusalem,
and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth,”
Acts 1:8.
The witness of these events are
still being declared by the Scriptures that have been preserved through time, as
well as by Yahweh’s people who continue to believe and declare them to a world
that has become blinded in these last days.
OTHER COMBINATIONS
As
in all Hebrew letters and words, there are positive, good meanings, but there
are also negative, bad meanings. Robert Haralick writes, “...when we are not
conscious of the physical and spiritual realm, our actions become actions that
oppress, deceive, maltreat, and irritate. Our actions are actions of !wOעָ (avon),
which means sin, crime, offense, iniquity, trouble,
suffering, punishment, evil, and wickedness. (Lev. 15:7; Num. 15:30-31;
Isa. 26:21)
And our actions become
actions of !y:עָ (ayan)
which means to be hostile, inimical,
antagonistic, and to hate.
We engage in lw<עָ
(avel) wrong,
injustice, and iniquity.
We become !yEwO[ (ohyen), hostile, unfriendly, and inimical. We become lW[; (aool),
a wicked one. This is the concealed
meaning of [.
When the letter energy intelligence of [ combines with the letter energy intelligence
of b (beit), which means container, there results the word
b[
(ov), which means density or thickness or means cloud and darkness.
(1 Ki. 18:45)
And when this cloud combines with d (dalet),
whose energy intelligence is physical existence, there results the word db;עָ
(avad), which is the verb to work, labor, toil, till, cultivate, serve,
or worship. (Gen. 15:13-14; Ex.
1:13-14; Gen. 29:25; 2 Chron. 34:33)
There is also formed the word db,[, (eved),
which is the noun meaning servant.
(Gen. 18:3-4)
When the density of bעָ combines with the letter energy intelligence of r (resh),
which means cosmic container, there results the verb rBe[i (eeber),
which means to make pregnant, impregnate,
fecundate, or conceive
as well as the alternate meaning of to become
angry. Also the noun
rB;[u (ubar) means embryo
or fetus.
When the letter energy intelligence of [ combines with g (gimel),
there results the word gעָ
(ag/og),
which means to circle.
And when this circling is combined with the letter energy intelligence of b (beit),
there results the verb bg:עָ
(agav), which means to make love.
When the letter energy intelligence of [ combines with the letter energy intelligence
of d (dalet) there results the word d[; (ahd)
which means eternity. Eternity is the flow
of a (aleph) projected into and wrapped into
physical existence. Also there forms the word d[e (ed),
which means witness, evidence,
and testimony. Our thoughts, words, and
actions constitute our evidence and testimony of just exactly how we have
created a dwelling place for Godliness in physical existence.
When the letter energy intelligence of [ combines with the letter energy intelligence
of its archetype z
(zayin), there forms the word z[; (ahz),
which means strong, powerful, mighty, fierce,
violent, courageous, sharp, bright, vigorous, intense,
and energetic. (Num. 13:28)
There is the word z[O (ohz),
which means strength, power, might, violence,
vigor, courage, valor, splendor, glory, and praise. (Psa. 29:11; 30:8; 62:12)
When the letter energy intelligence of [ combines with l (lamed),
the letter energy intelligence of teaching, there forms l[; (ahl),
which as a prefix means super
and as a preposition means on, upon, concerning,
or toward and there forms l[o (ohl),
which means yoke, burden,
or servitude. (Num. 19:2)
With the letter energy
intelligence of [ it is our Divine service to
teach full consciousness and when we do so there forms the word ll;עָ (alal),
the verb to attend, do, act, work
and also the verb to ascend, land, enter,
or visit and the related word twOlli[] (aleeloht),
deeds. (Lam. 1:22; Psa. 141:4)
Our actions and the work they accomplish ascend and become more than what
they are on the surface. In that way, they bring Godliness into existence.
When the word l[o (ohl)
combines with the letter energy intelligence of ~ (final mem) there
forms the root
~l[ (olam),
which means to disappear, vanish, be hidden, or concealed.
(Lev. 4:13; Psa. 90:8)
When [
itself combines with the letter energy intelligence of ~, there forms the word ~[; (ahm), which means nation,
people, folk, community, populace, inhabitants, tribe, kinsman,
or relative and there forms the word ~[i (eem),
which means with, together, in the company of, at
by, near, beside, while, or during.
From this we see that the revealment of Godliness cannot take place in
situations isolated from people. The revealment takes place in family, in
community, in nations. It happens by, with, and in the company of people.
When the letter energy intelligence of [ combines with ! (final nun)
there forms the word עָן
(ahn)
cattle, and when it combines with @
(final peh) there forms the root @עָ (aph), to fly.
When the [ combines with # (final tsadi), there forms the word #[e (ets),
tree, wood, or log. When it combines with the letter energy
intelligence of r
(resh), there forms the root r[, which is the verb to awake and the word
r[e
(er), which means awake,
alert, active, aroused, or vigilant.
Our consciousness must be awake, alert, active, and aroused if we are always to
maintain a full consciousness of the physical and spiritual. If we do not
maintain this full consciousness, our reality will become unfriendly and our
enemy. This is because the word
rעָ (ar) has a second meaning of enemy or adversary.
And we will become like cattle being led to the slaughterhouse by an
inexplicable and determined cause. We will be like birds trying to fly away from
our reality. In such a reality we can have no freedom, for this reality wrapped
in the container b,
becomes broעָ
(ahrov), which means a swarm of beasts.
When the energy intelligence of [ combines with t (tau),
which is the energy intelligence of cosmic existence and true law, there forms
the word t[e (et), which means time, season, term, period, era, or epoch. Time is consciousness of true law in
cosmic existence. (The inner Meaning of the
Hebrew Letters, pp. 235-239)
As your eyes (o) read these words, are
they entering into the inner spring/well, regions (o) of your understanding? Are
they revealing more deep and hidden things to you?
It is important to understand that each letter came forth from the very
first letter, the aleph (a/a/a). The very word aleph looks like this in Pictorial Hebrew (pla). The peh (p)
is the picture of a mouth, while the combination aleph-lamed
(la) forms the word El! The aleph is the mouth of El by which all things
are made! (Psa. 33:1-9)
The word aleph reversed is pela (alp) which means WONDER, MIRACLE! The creation is a miraculous wonder! Let us rejoice in our wondrous Creator while we have breath, and eyes to see his marvels! JH
Once
again, the calendar is wreaking havoc among the churches and assemblies who
observe the Sabbath and annual holy days. Frankly, the confusion is
disheartening, discouraging, and serves to turn people off from even walking in
the truth. By Jerry Healan
Like
it or not, the assemblies are as much a part of Babylon as the rest of the world
that they look upon as totally blinded and deceived. There is disarray
everywhere! The Jews have automatically instituted their Adar II which has
certainly aided in the confusion, however that is just the tip of the iceberg.
There are those who require “green ears of barley” to be available,
while others look to the new moon after the vernal equinox. Still others observe
the crescent, while others follow the Hillel method of the molad (conjunction).
How can we get through all of
the confusion in order to come to the truth of the matter? In the first place,
what, who is truth? Let’s allow Yahshua to answer this question, “I am
the way, the truth, and the life…,” Jn. 14:6. Yahshua is the truth!
The Scriptures were written about Him (Lk. 24:44, Jn. 5:39-47). The only key to
coming out of the chaos is to look to Yahshua and how the Scriptures speak of
Him.
BARLEY
Why would barley be a requirement? One answer to this question is that at
the time of the original Passover the barley was in the ear (Ex. 9:31).
Furthermore, the name given by Yahweh to the first month of the year was “Abib!”
He commanded, “Observe the month of Abib, and keep the passover unto Yahweh
thy Elohim: for in the month of Abib Yahweh thy Elohim brought thee forth out of
Egypt by night,” Dt. 16:1. Abib is defined as, from an unused root (meaning to
be tender); green, i.e. a young ear of grain; hence, the name of the month Abib
or Nisan. (Strong’s
Exhaustive Concordance) The first grain to be harvested in ancient
Israel was the barley.
Furthermore, an omer of barley was required to be offered as the
“firstfruits” in order to begin the countdown to Pentecost, “Speak unto
the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land which I
give unto you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits
of your harvest unto the priest: And he shall wave the sheaf before Yahweh, to
be accepted for you: on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave
it,” Lev. 23:10-11.
“Sheaf of firstfruits” is translated from the Hebrew “omer reyshiyth.” An omer is a
measure which would be equivalent to a little over a half gallon in our measure.
“Firstfruits” (reyshiyth)
is defined as, the first, in place, time, order or rank (specifically, a
firstfruit). (IBID) Do you get that? It
is the first in place, the first in time, the first in order, the first in rank.
It typified Yahshua as the “firstfruits/firstborn” from the dead, “And he is the head of the body, the assembly: who is the beginning, the
firstborn
from the dead; that in all things he might
have the preeminence,” Col. 1:18.
The Hebrew “firstfruits” (reyshiyth) could be substituted for the word
“beginning” in Colossians above.
The estimation for an omer of barley was a “half shekel,” that is,
atonement money! (For the estimation see Lev. 27:16.) Yahshua is our atonement,
“And not only so, but we
also joy in Yahweh through our Sovereign Yahshua the Messiah, by whom we have
now received the atonement,” Ro. 5:12.
This means that the very first omer of barley that could be found, the
first in place, time, order, and rank was to be selected for the “sheaf of
firstfruits” or “omer reyshiyth.”
Are you beginning to see how easy it is to work out the details when we
only look into the Scriptures to see Yahshua?
The clincher is that this year
several teams scoured Israel for green ears of barley, and they were found in
and around the new moon of March 9th-10th thus making March 10 new moon day of
the month Abib. The calendar stands as we and others published.
HOW DID WE KNOW?
Years
ago this author was led to study how the heavens are declaring the glory of
Yahweh after reading Psa. 19. This author discovered that there is a phenomenon
called the precession of the equinoxes through the mazzaroth (Zodiac). This
precession of the equinoxes is telling the story of Yahweh’s salvation. Some
may want to accuse me of delving into Astrology, but that simply isn’t the
case at all. I hate Astrology which is nothing more than witchcraft, but
doesn’t it make sense that the very creation that Yahweh made would declare
His esteem and honor?
I found out that when Adam and Eve were created, the equinoxes were
occurring in Taurus (the heavenly bull) and Scorpio (the scorpion). The word
Adam begins with the aleph
(equivalent to our “A”), the very first letter of the alphabet which looks
like this a in the more ancient
Pictorial Hebrew. What does a scorpion do? It stings. Adam (mda/Taurus) came under the sting
(Scorpio/scorpion) of death!
The serpent told the woman that they would become like Elohim to know
good and evil (Gen. 3:5). From that time men began to worship themselves,
setting themselves up as bull gods. Look at ancient Egypt and their Pharaohs who
wore the headdress with the serpent, and were worshipped as the sons of god
through the Apis Bull!
The Sun-god Mithras can be traced all the way back to Adam. His day of
worship was Sunday. His day of birth was December 25th!
Ishtar/Easter was/is none other
than mother Eve. She was declared to be the mother of all living by Adam (Gen.
3:20). She was known as the Great Mother of the Gods, and the Queen of Heaven,
as well as many other names.
PRECESSION
Then the equinoxes shifted into Aries and Libra. Aries has to do with a
heavenly ram or lamb. This period of time probably began around the time that
Abraham took Isaac up to sacrifice him at Yahweh’s command, but Yahweh
provided a ram in his place. That ram typified Yahshua the Messiah (Gen.
22:1-14).
However, later during this age, Yahweh would deliver Israel out of Egypt
through the Passover lamb (Aries), and take them into the wilderness where He
would make His covenant with them and give them His laws, statutes, and
judgments (Libra). Remember that Libra is presented as the scales of justice.
Yahweh gave them his law of justice. Josephus reports that Israel came out of
Egypt when the sun was in Aries (Antiquities of the Jews, chapter X, par. 5,
p. 79).
During this time, Yahweh also raised up the Shepherd King David and his
lineage to rule over Israel. This age continued until the year 1 CE when the
equinoxes moved into Pisces and Virgo according to NASA.
Angels appeared to shepherds in the field announcing the birth of Yahshua
who went to see the child and then announced His birth to all others that they
encountered (Lk. 2:8-18).
But when Yahshua began His ministry He called fishermen, not shepherds,
to be His disciples (Lk. 5:1-11; Mt. 4:18-20). He told them that He would make
them fishers of men.
Yahshua fed 5 thousand men, besides women and children with 5 loaves of
bread and two fishes (the sign of Pisces [Mt. 14:13-21; Mk. 6:32-34]). Five is
the number for grace. As stated, the two fishes represented the heavenly sign of
Pisces which the equinoxes had entered into.
Twelve baskets of scraps were collected after the 5 thousand were
satisfied. Twelve is the number of the tribes of Israel, as well as the number
of Yahshua’s close disciples who followed Him everywhere He went and witnessed
His marvelous and miraculous acts.
Yahweh inspired Jeremiah to write, “14Therefore, behold, the
days come, saith Yahweh, that it shall no more be said, Yahweh liveth, that
brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt; 15But, Yahweh liveth,
that brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north, and from all
the lands whither he had driven them: and I will bring them again into their
land that I gave unto their fathers. 16Behold, I will send for many fishers, saith
Yahweh, and they shall fish them,”
Jer. 16:14-16.
This is the age that we are in in today’s world! We are still in the
age of Pisces and Virgo. Yahshua is sending men forth to “fish” for His
virgin bride (Virgo)!
You can accuse me of teaching Astrology, but I am not! I do not look to
the heavens to see what they speak of concerning
myself and seek to determine how the heavens have worked their influences on my
birth, and shaped my character. Yes, as David, I was shaped in iniquity, but for
some reason, Yahweh has called me and taught me His word by and through His
Spirit! I am not worthy of this calling, but I study to see how the Scriptures,
and the creation speak of Yahweh and Yahshua and the marvelous mercy and grace
that they judge us/me with!
Therefore, this author can pinpoint the new moon of the year and there
certainly will be barley in Jerusalem because Yahweh’s creation works like the
most fine tuned clock. It operates by the power of His word. It declares his
esteem and honor. It declares the purposes that He is working out here below,
and in heaven!
The new moon of the year takes place when the sun, moon, and Vernal
equinox are in Pisces! This author has been greatly blessed to be able to
pinpoint the new moon, the first moon of the year, in concert with the barley
for a good number of years now. Others have called and chastised me because our
calendar was earlier than theirs. One man called me one year and questioned why
our calendar was a full month earlier than theirs. I tried to tell him but he
kept asking, but what if there aren’t any green ears of barley? I confidently
told him that there would be green ears of barley. He kept questioning, but what
if there aren’t? But I continued to stress that there would be. Sure enough,
they had to change their calendar.
Listen! I am not proclaiming
that I am anyone’s authority! I am not seeking to vindicate myself. I am only
seeking to declare that Yahweh’s word is sure. It will never fail. He has
established a pattern of seventh day Sabbaths, and annual holy days to declare
His purposes. These annual holy days work in conjunction with the sun, moon, and
stars to begin His CORRECT CALENDAR! If you choose to observe what you think is
His calendar a month later because you follow the Jews (blind guides), or you
aren’t sure about the barley, or you always take the first new moon after the
equinox, generally, every third year you will be out of sync with Yahweh’s own
established calendar that He revealed in His written word, and also that He
established in the heavens.
ABIB
Abib means “green ears.” Yahweh told Israel, “This day came ye out
in the month (moon) Abib,” Ex. 13:4.
Since it is the month/moon of Abib, “green ears,” wouldn’t there be
more than just green ears of barley? The month Abib has to do with the green
ears of other plants appearing on the scene also in order to announce the spring
(springing back to life of vegetation). This is a far greater announcement than
just the barley!
Yahweh brings it together in the most beautiful of concerts with buds,
blooms, and blossoms. The deciduous trees also spring forth their buds and
blooms with the “green ears” of their leaves coming forth. It may not happen
as early for the people living in the far north, but our area is on about the
same latitude as that of Israel and Jerusalem. Jerusalem’s and our spring here
will precede that of the far northern places, but that is the way it is now, and
that is the way it was in the days of old. Nothing has changed as far as that is
concerned.
What a most marvelous time of
the year to utilize not only the beginning of the year, but also to announce the
time that His Son Yahshua the Messiah would be resurrected from the grave! After
all, He is the Lamb who was slain BEFORE the foundation of the world (1 Pet.
1:18-20; Rev. 13:8).
SIGNS
Yahweh put His signs in the heavens, “14And Elohim said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to
divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and
years: 15And
let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the
earth: and it was so. 16And
Elohim made two great lights;
the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he
made the stars also. 17And Elohim set them in
the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, 18And to rule over the
day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and Elohim
saw that it was good,” Gen. 1:14-18.
The sun declares the daily daytime cycle, the weekly Sabbath cycle, and
the solar year. The moon and stars aid the sun in declaring the daily nighttime
cycle, and the moon declares its lunar/monthly cycle. It also declares an annual
lunar year which is composed of 354 days. The stars also declare the house that
the sun is in its trek through the mazzaroth. They all work in concert to
declare the spring (Pisces) and fall (Virgo).
There must be a 13th month
every three years in order to adjust the difference between the 365 day solar
year, and the 354 lunar year. But this will be done automatically if one allows
the constellations, the sun, the moon, and the vernal equinox to dictate
Yahweh’s calendar rather than artificially adding a thirteenth month set by
misguided men.
ANOTHER SHIFT
The equinoxes are very close to completing their trek through Pisces and
Virgo. They are currently in the process of exiting Pisces and Virgo while
entering Aquarius and Leo.
Aquarius and Leo help to complete the story of salvation. Aquarius has to
do with water being poured out. Water is a type of the Holy Spirit (Jn.
7:37-39).
Yahweh says that the day is coming when He will pour His spirit out on
all flesh. This is spoken and recorded by the Prophet Joel (2:28), and declared
by the Apostle Peter (Acts 2:17). It is interesting that Yahshua sent His
disciples to prepare His last Passover by looking for a man who was carrying a
pitcher of water (Mk. 14:13; Lk. 22:10). This was unusual as in those days it
was the woman’s job to fetch the water.
The autumnal equinox will be taking place in Leo, the heavenly lion. This
will be happening when Yahshua, the lion of the tribe of Judah (Rev. 5:5) will
be reigning in the 7th millennial kingdom!
During that time, the month
Abib will be occurring in Aquarius, and the fall feasts will be taking place in
Leo.
FEASTS
Yahweh established His feasts which are called moed/moedim in Hebrew. The term moed looks like this
dofm
in the more ancient Pictorial Hebrew. The Hebrew word for witness is do (ed). The eye (o) is the door (d)
to any event. The mem
(m) is a picture of water, or
spirit. The waw (f) is a nail or tent peg
(which help to nail down, uphold, establish). Thus, the feasts, which are also
appointments, are established by Yahweh for us ahead of time, as spiritually
established witnesses as to His plan and purpose for this physical, temporary
creation.
Moed
comes from another word ya’ad
which has to do with engagement for marriage.
The feasts are also for congregating (miqra). Miqra
means to call out, to call from, much like the ekklesia
of the Greek. Miqra also has to do with a
rehearsal. The weekly Sabbaths, and annual high days are holy (qodesh). Therefore, to observe them, Yahweh’s
people, those called and given the Holy Spirit, are rehearsing for holy
matrimony!
Are you beginning to see that the heavens, Sabbaths, and annual holy days
are declaring, witnessing, to what Yahweh is doing, His perfect plan and purpose
for His creation which includes you and me?!
This is why there will not fail to be a sheaf of firstfruits, omer
of barley, in the true month of Abib
which currently occurs in the constellation Pisces!
