Formation - The yod [∞]

Discussion

'''Yod י New creation''' [Yod_י_New_creation ∞]


Imagine that a blank page [v 1] represents God in all his perfection. God is! There is no introduction to God. He just is. [1] [2]

If we touch the page and draw on it, it no longer represents God. If we put our hand to it, in God's estimation, we pollute it. God said not to make a graven image. [3] [4] [q 1][a 1] [5]

  1. ↑ The same is true of Genesis 1:1 ▸ ± Ge 1:1 where he just exists. There is no mention of His beginning.
  2. ↑ see Something from nothing
  3. ↑ ▸ ± Ex 20:4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness [of any thing] that [is] in heaven above, or that [is] in the earth beneath, or that [is] in the water under the earth:
  4. ↑ ▸ ± Ex 20:25 And if thou wilt make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stone: for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it.
  5. ↑ ▸ ± Le 26:1 ¶ Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up [any] image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I [am] the LORD your God.

Now consider the blank page as representing God before he decided to create. Where can God create the universe? There is no container for God. He is too big. [1] [q 2] [a 2] The blank page that we hold up must be imagined to be infinitely wide and infinitely tall. Where can God create? There is no place which God does not fill already. [q 3] [a 3]

  1. ↑ ▸ ± 1Ki 8:27 ... behold, the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain thee;...

The yod י represents the first thought of creation and is the smallest letter of the Hebrew alphabet. [1] It contains everything that God wished to accomplish. The yod י not only contains all the physical elements of time, chance and matter, like scientific the notion of the Big Bang, but it also contains the revelation of the personality and character of God, as well as the potential for every thought that has been thought or spoken.

  1. ↑ ▸ ± Job 38:4 Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.

When God first started to create, he had to open a void within himself; [1] a place to put things. There was no place else to do it. He made room for us within himself. This is represented by a yod on the page. Everything else that was created was created in and from this void. [q 4] [a 4]

  1. ↑ ▸ ± Ge 1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness [was] upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

This first thing that springs forth from the yod is the alphabet. Each letter starts by first drawing a yod י, then a vav ו. All the other letters are yods and vavs combined. Then from the alphabet, words are formed; and using the words, God commanded all else to spring into existence. [1] [q 5] [a 5]

אבגדהוזחטיכלמנסעפצקרשתךםןףץ


  1. ↑ The phrase "God said..." is used ten times during creation as He created all using words.

The name yod יד means 'hand' which is a metaphor for works. [1] [v 2] Creation is the work of God.

  1. ↑ ▸ ± De 2:7 For the LORD thy God hath blessed thee in all the works of thy hand: he knoweth thy walking through this great wilderness: these forty years the LORD thy God [hath been] with thee; thou hast lacked nothing.

Discussion

Questions

  1. ↑ Are there scriptures that indicate that God is represented by untouched things?
  2. ↑ Is God in everything and everywhere, or is everything and everywhere in God?
  3. ↑ What is the theological word used to describe that there is nowhere where God isn't?
  4. ↑ Since rooms, are formed by the geometry of the walls and ceilings of the house, where do the properties and attributes of the rooms come from?
  5. ↑ Which has the power: God, or the words he used?

Vocabulary

  1. ↑ blank page - God
  2. ↑ yod יד - hand, m. works, the creation י commanded ד

Answers

  1. ↑ ▸ ± Ex 20:25 And if thou wilt make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stone: for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it.
  2. ↑ Everything is in God. There is no container large enough to put God in.
  3. ↑ Omnipresent
  4. ↑ From the house. If we are the voids, all of our attributes come from God.
  5. ↑ God has all power. We must not make the mistake of thinking that words have power.

Formation - The vav [∞]

Discussion

The distinct Vav

The vav is the "sword" of the word. It is a prefix meaning 'and'. Like 'and' it divides two things and connects them. [1] As a visual allegory, it looks like a sword. It indicates that there are two sides to an issue.

To understand ideas, we pull them apart and put them back together. This clarifies and distinguishes the meaning. It represents the word spoken into the void to separate God from his creation and pull them back together. [2]


  1. ↑ ▸ ± Heb 4:12 For the word of God [is] quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and [is] a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
  2. ↑ ▸ ± Ge 1:3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

Discussion

Formation - The zayin [∞]

Discussion

Zayin ז The Bride

The zayin is drawn up the left side of the Square Letter Template. It meets a yud at the top like a tiny 'T'. It differs from the vav ו which descends from a yod י. It is that which returns to God. Alone, or with other elements it usually describes the bride of Christ. The word zayin means 'prostitute'. The bride of Christ (the church) was a prostitute (sinner) that was made in to the virgin (pure bride). [v 1] [q 1]. [a 1]

Discussion

Questions

  1. ↑ Can you think of women in the Bible who represent (literally or figuratively) the virgin bride who was also a prostitute (Ex. Mary was pure, but her name means 'rebellious' and she had the gossip surrounding her of her being a prostitute)

Vocabulary

  1. ↑ zayin ז - prostitute, m. bride

Answers

  1. ↑ Rebekah was 'took' (married) by the servant and was uncovered with him before she saw Isaac. Leah represents the prostitute and Rachel the virgin. Gomer was a prostitute and she named her son "God sows" as a hint of the virgin birth.

Discussion

Formation - The final nun [∞]

Discussion

The nun נ represents the son of man. You see the vav ו in it, but then at the bottom, it has a short horizontal. The Word (vav) has become flesh (man). [1] In the final form the lower horizontal turns vertical and descends below the square text template. His flesh has died and put in the earth.

  1. ↑ ▸ ± Joh 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
