When you open a book, one of the first things you see is a title page. It has the name of the book on it. [a 1] We call it "The Holy Bible". God calls it something different. He calls it "A Revelation to Man". Since the Bible wasn't written all at the same time, there was no title page. In fact, there were no pages at all! It was first written on tablets of clay or stone. On the first tablet, the name of the Bible was written on the first line, with the first letter. ב [1]. |

The Hebrew alphabet, the letters used to write the Bible, look funny to us.[1] The first letter of the Bible [2] , ב which is the title of the Bible has the same sound as our 'B'. When God made the alphabet of the Bible, called the Hebrew alphabet, he gave each of the letters a meaning. the bet ב means 'a revelation to man'. He also gave each letter a name. The name of the letter 'bet' is 'bet' I have been calling it by it's name. The name of the letter is a word, just like our names. Do you know someone named 'Sandy'? Do you think they spend time at the beach? Do you know someone named 'Rusty', 'Dusty', Windy', 'Heather', 'Iris'? Their names mean something. But I don't know anyone named 'Peanut Butter Sandwich'. |

The letters of the Hebrew alphabet all have names. The name 'bet' means 'house', or 'daughter'. Do you know the name of a town starting with 'bet'? Think of Christmas...Oh, little town of Beth... Bethlechem is the 'house of lechem'. 'Lechem' is bread. Jesus was born in the house of bread. Do you remember when Jesus said that he was the bread? [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] God calls the Bible "The revelation to man" ב. |

What is a revelation? It might be the answer to a secret, or the answer to a mystery. A secret is something that you are not supposed to know yet. A mystery is a secret when you are given clues to tease you that you don't know. A secret is something hidden, and a mystery is like a game of hide and seek. So a mystery is a special kind of secret. Right from the beginning God started writing a mystery book. |
