'''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If we touch the page and draw on it, it no longer represents God.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]
|
- ↑ The same is true of Genesis 1:1 ▸ ± Ge 1:1 where he just exists. There is no mention of His beginning.
- ↑ see Something from nothing
- ↑ ▸ ± 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:
- ↑ ▸ ± 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.
- ↑ ▸ ± 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.

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.

- ↑ ▸ ± 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.
|
- ↑ ▸ ± 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]
|
- ↑ ▸ ± 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.

| 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]
|
- ↑ ▸ ± 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.
- ↑ ▸ ± 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).

Questions
- ↑ 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

Answers
- ↑ 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.

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.

Formation - Dalet family [∞]
ד ה ח ך
The meaning of each letter in the Dalet ד or Commandment Family has something to do with the commandment. The dalet ד representing the commandment, is found in each letter. There is the commandment ד, the commandment which was heard but not understood ה, and the commandment which was understood ח. The vav (or lack of it) distinguishes between them.
Discussion
| Dalet ד the commandment [∞]
The dalet ד is the commandment. It is not the rosh ר revelation. See the
difference between the right angle corner on the dalet and the rounded corner on the rosh.
A commandment [1] accomplishes something. When God commanded the light to be, the waters to part, and the dry land to appear... they did. [2] This demonstrated that he was God. [3] Likewise when he commanded men with two tablets of stone [4], it displayed the character of God, and confronted the universal sin of man. [5] This demonstrated that he alone is God.
A revelation [6] is a communication from God intended as a dialog; it contains personality. "Let there be light" has no one to dialog with. "Thou shalt not covet" is also not up for discussion. If the purpose of God was to free an enslaved people, he would have commanded that they be free, they would have been free. But the purpose was to make himself known. Moses was free to dialog about it. [7] [8] [9] [10] When presented with a command, observe how God is revealed.When presented with a revelation; dialog with God.

| He ה they did not understand [∞]
He is pronounced hay
Discussion
| Draw the he [∞]
As you draw the he say "did not understand".
The he ה is drawn with a dalet ד as the commandment, then a vav returns halfway up the left side. The response is not a full response (not returning to the top) because the commandment is not understood. The Hebrews did not understand that the law was a schoolmaster [1]
and the real meaning was a hidden prophecy of the death and resurrection of Jesus on the cross. [2] The response is like when sheep hear the shepherd's voice. [3] They are drawn to it, but they do not understand the words.

| Chet ח they understood [∞]
Discussion

When you draw the vav of the chet say, "understood" or "saw".
The chet is drawn like a he ה but the vav on the left returns all the way to the top. This represents that the commandment was understood. The meaning of chet is 'dismay', because when you really understand God's command, you are dismayed.

The chet ח symbol represents life in many cultures. They may pronounce it chee. Understanding is represented by seeing. One cannot understand (see) the teaching of Christ (the kingdom) unless he has been born again. [1] Understanding is a sign of the beginning of life.

- ↑ ▸ ± Joh 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

Questions
- ↑ Why does understanding the commandment cause dismay?
- ↑ The Gospel of Thomas (2) says, ...
The one who seeks should not cease seeking until he finds. And when he finds, he will be dismayed... Could the chet be the source of Thomas's riddle?
Vocabulary
- ↑ chet ח or חת - dismay, m. understood, seeing
Answers
- ↑ The holiness of the law confronts your sin.
- ↑ It is a good exercise to read the Gospel of Thomas in the genre of prophetic riddle or sensus plenior, since he shares many of the same riddles which are mistakenly interpreted to be literal and so are mis-identified as Gnostic

| Final kof ך [∞]
Discussion
| As you draw the final kof say, "The Son of God died".
The final kof ך is the form used when a kof כ is at the end of a word. We examined the kof כ when we discussed the nun נ. The nun נ is the Son of Man, and the kof כ is the Son of God; fully God and fully man by nature, as indicated by the long horizontal vav's.
Kof כף means 'spoon' or 'palm of the hand' and the final form ך signifies the Son of God died according to the commandment (which is why it looks like a large dalet ד).

| חד sharpen [∞]
chad חד
Discussion
| Interpreting word formations is not as simple as merely replacing the letters with a meaning. Such replacement forms a riddle which is answered by scripture.
'Sharpen' chad חד is formed as 'understand ח the command ד'. It is not easy to see the connection between the two. But God says the same thing in different ways until we understand. He has given another clue to the connection in the verse:
▸ ± Pr 27:17 Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.
Now we understand how to sharpen our friends better. To improve the countenance of the friend, we help them understand God's commands. 'Command' is used in a technical sense as that which God makes God known as he says and it happens... no discussion. We would remind our friend that God spoke and as a result of his command, the universe sprang into existence. We might also confront his sin and bring hope for a changed life based on God's mercy and power in overcoming sin.
Without the underlying meaning of chad we are left to guess as to how we sharpen one another.

Nun נ The Son of Man [∞]
Discussion
|
The nun נ is a vav with a yod off the bottom like the gimel ג except the yod is horizontal. The word nun means 'fish' and it represents the Son of Man. [v 1] In Greek the fish represents "Jesus Messiah God's Son Savior" as an anagram.
When you draw the nun say, "The Son of Man".
|
|
|
The nun נ stands in contrast to the kof כ, which represents the Son of God. The difference is the length of the horizontals. The kof says that the Son of God was fully God and fully man by nature. The nun says that the Son of Man was partially God and partially man by choice. He chose to limit himself by the flesh

Ayin ע tempted in the flesh [∞]
Discussion
|
As you draw the ayin say, "Tempted in the flesh".
Spot the nun in the ayin ע as the long stroke from the right to the left. See the lower yod י of the nun נ has been extended to a vav ו. The zayin ז pulls it away from the lower right corner. That corner is known as 'the point of the cross', since it is where the love of God, the right vertical, meets man, the lower horizontal.
Ayin ען means 'humilation' and 'depravity' and it represents the flesh. Here we see the Son of Man nun נ being distracted from the cross. In his own flesh, he does not want to die.
[1]
He was tempted to avoid the cross by finding another way to be with the bride than by dying

hence the distraction by the zayin ז bride.

He tsadi צ is drawn like an ayin ע but leaning the other way, with the burden of the creation (a yod י) on his back. This time the letter goes into the point of the cross (lower right corner).
Tsadi צד means 'provision'. It is the provision of righteousness that Christ offered his creation on the cross.

Shin ש The Spirit enabled the Word to have an increase [∞]
Discussion

The shin ש is also an elongated nun indicating the action is by both the Son of Man and the Son of God. From the leftmost point of the lower horizontal vav , a zayin ז returns, and from it's side another zayin ז returns.
The word shin שן means 'ivory' which is a symbol for holiness in it's whiteness. The Word of God descended and became flesh (the nun) but was restored to glory (the lower horizontal vav) then returned with his bride (the two zayins).
As a metaphor, the shin can represent that the word did not return void

Final tsadi ץ Judgement ended [∞]
Discussion
|
The final tsadi is drawn as a final nun ן with a zayin ז attached on the right side. Normally, in other letters, the zayin is on the left side of the Square Text Template. Finding it on the right suggests that the bride has not yet been made holy. The final nun is the death of the Son of Man. Together -- while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us[1].
The tsadi צ represented the righteousness of Christ. As he was tempted in every way that we are, yet did not sin, [2] he judged us by removing all of our excuses for sin. The final tsadi ץ represents the cross, and almost looks like one, where the judge is put to death. If there is no judge, there is no judgment. We now live in grace.
As you draw the final tsadi ץ say, "Judgement ended". [v 1]

The 'rosh' (sometimes 'resh') suggests that heavenly or spiritual things come to earth (right side ) in love. The curved corner is different from the right angle of the dalet ד. There are many kinds of revelation, but we use the term in a technical way. It is a revelation which you may discuss things with. The dalet is like a broken reed where not all things can flow through it.It is a commandment with no discussion.

Discussion

The bet is the revelation to man, indicated by the lower horizontal. The rosh and the lower horizontal are joined at right angles, meaning that there is something less than if they were joined with a curve. It indicates the the revelation is with man, among men and to man.
The word bet בת means house. Bet also means 'daughter' because daughters live in their father's house.

Formation - Kof [∞]
Kof כ The Son of God. When you draw the kof כ say, "The Son of God".
Discussion

The kof כ is drawn like a bet ב but it transitions to the lower vav with a curve, suggesting that the revelation has become man. It represents the Son of God. We spoke of it in contrast to the nun נ which is the Son of Man.
The meaning of kof כף is 'palm of a hand, or cup. In formation it means - The Son of God כ hidden in mystery, riddle, parable, prophecy and/or metaphor ף of his death.
[v 1]
Jesus asked to have the cup removed.
[1]
We understand that he was asking to not have to face his death. Some teach that the cup represents wrath, but it must mean the same thing everywhere. There are several Hebrew words for 'cup', but in this case we know more precisely that the death of the Son of God was hidden in mystery; in the cup.
[q 1]
[a 1]
The kof will have a family of it's own.

Formation - Tov [∞]
Tov ת It is finished. When you draw the Tov say. "Finished with a new life".
Discussion
|
The tov is drawn as a rosh then finished with a vav spontaneously generated on the bottom left (no connection to the rosh) and the returning in holiness to God up the left side. The meaning is that the revelation completed it's work with a new word (vav) spontaneously returning to God. This is the genuine praise of God by his people.
[q 1]
[a 1]
[1]
The meaning of tov is 'mark' or 'record'.
[v 1]
It is the last letter of the alphabet, but not the last letter of the number sequence. As you draw the tov you can say, "It is finished".

The Son of God בר ''bar'' and the increase רב ''rab'' [bar_and_the_increase_רב_rab ∞]
Discussion
|
The revelation to man ב of the revelation ר is the 'son' bar בר, but more specifically, the Son of God. He is the unbegotten only Son of God, which speaks of his eternal nature.
[v 1]
Traversing the gate in the opposite direction produces some sense of the reversal of meaning. Rab רב is the revelation ר of the house ב. Here the emphasis is on the rosh revelation which produces an increase. rab רב means 'increase' indicated by the house/family created by the revelation.
[v 2]
It may seem confusing that we used the bet ב as 'revelation to man' sometimes, and as 'house' other times. They are part of the same metaphor. In this case, the bar בר could be expressed as the 'house of revelation' meaning the 'family of revelation'. The Son is the head of his household.
[1]
His family are the 'sons of God' who also reveal the invisible God by teaching of Christ. It's simply a matter of which makes the better dynamic equivalent in the current context.
The church is the ultimate revelation of the Word of God, or revelation of God, since it is in their obedience of faith that we find the essential nature of the Kingdom of Heaven.

''Bet'' ב or בת or בית vs ''bethah'' בתה [Bet_ב_or_בת_or_בית_vs_bethah_בתה ∞]
Discussion
|
As God teaches his language, he says things in different ways until we understand. Each expression of bet says the same thing in a slightly different way.
The letter bet is the foundation. It is a revelation to man.
The gate bat or bath has the added meaning that the revelation was successful and it produced a new life. Compare to the shin ש which says that the new life returned with the Word which produced it. The word bath is also a liquid measure. Measuring is a metaphor for judging. Water is a metaphor for the word. It suggests that the word of God is judged by it's result of a new life being produced.
Add a yod in the middle of bet בית and now it is focused on the fact of the new life, the the creation yod י in the house.
Bethah has the added he ה which symbolizes that the beth doesn't understand. How is the word judged in this case? The word bethah בתה means 'desolate'. the house has not been fruitful.
