בוא

בוא [∞] come <no include> Analyzing בוא (Bo) with א (Aleph) Included:

Aleph (א):

Aleph is often considered the letter of God, the Father, or initiative. It represents the beginning and source of all things. In this case, Aleph is the first letter of אב (Av), meaning Father, symbolizing the initiation of the relationship between God and humanity. Aleph is also related to the concept of strength or authority (as in א being the first letter of the Hebrew word for "ox" - שור), which speaks to the power and authority of the Father who initiates the relationship.

Bet (ב):

Bet represents a revelation to man, as we discussed earlier. When we consider בוא (bo), the Bet in this context speaks to how God, the Father, reveals Himself to man. The coming (בוא) is a revelation, where God actively reveals Himself to humanity. Bet can be seen as the gateway through which this revelation passes, enabling humanity to engage with the Divine.

Vav (ו):

Vav, as previously discussed, acts as a connector. It links the Father’s revelation (Bet) with the act of coming. The Vav thus connects the revelation to the purpose or the mission of coming. It suggests that God's coming is not random but is part of a divine plan or unfolding narrative.

Interpreting "Come" in Light of the Principle of Reversal:

The principle you've highlighted — if a gate is reversed, the meaning is reversed — is important for understanding how the letters interact with each other in a deeper, sensus plenior way. If א (Aleph) and ב (Bet) are taken in reverse order, we get אב (Av), the Father, which indicates the initiation or fatherhood of the relationship between God and humanity.

If the reversal of "come" is considered, the reversal of the idea of "coming" could then be understood as an invitation from the Father to humanity to enter into the relationship. Rather than God coming to us to reveal Himself (as in the original form of בוא), the reversed meaning would suggest that humanity is invited to come to God, to enter into His presence and engage with Him. Conclusion:

When we include Aleph (א) in the interpretation of בוא (bo), we see that the Father initiates the revelation (Bet) to humanity. The coming signifies a divine initiative, where God reveals Himself. However, if we reverse this, we get a deeper understanding: God is inviting us to come to Him. The reversal suggests that God's coming to humanity can also be viewed as an invitation for us to draw near to Him, to enter into a relationship with Him — aligning with the theme of God’s invitation to His people.

In sum, בוא is about God's revelation and initiative in revealing Himself to us, but the reversal opens up the idea that God is calling us to come, inviting us into His presence.
