Message Before Creation [∞]
In pre-600 AD Hebrew, before the introduction of vowel markings (nikud), words derived their meaning from the letters themselves, each letter carrying its unique significance. This ancient form of Hebrew reveals layers of meaning that aren't immediately obvious to modern readers. The very alphabet seems to communicate profound truths about God, His creation, and His eternal plan.
For example, Adam's name (אדם) is in the word 'ground' (אדמה) 'adamah'. Adam, in this context, had Spirit (א) and blood (דם). The word for "blood" (דם) also reflects a commandment (ד) fulfilled by the Son (ם), pointing to a deeper theological truth as a metaphor of the cross used 4000 years before it is defined by the cross.
Since God spoke creation into existence and used letters to form words, the alphabet predates creation itself. Every letter has its own meaning, and when read in order, they form a message from God—one that reaches back before creation.
The Alphabet as a Message
The Alphabet as a Message
א God spoke and created the heavens and the earth.
ב He revealed to man
ג that he pursued them
ד with a command
ה which they did not understand
ו it distinguished them
ז as the bride
ח when they understood
ט through the marriage
י they became a new creation
כ The Son of God
ל taught
מ the promise of the Father
נ The Son of Man
ס fulfilled the promise
ע by becoming flesh
פ He spoke in parables and riddles
צ He exchanged his righteousness for our sin
ק The Son of God died and rose again
ר revealing
ש that his word returns with an increase
ת His completed work and revelation is your new life
ך The Son of God died
ם and finished his declared works
ן The Son of Man died and was restored to glory
ף All prophecy was completed
ץ Judgement was ended
?? We became co-heirs with Christ (four-pronged shin ש ).
The story of creation and redemption is encoded in the Hebrew alphabet. Each letter speaks of God's intention for humanity—His pursuit, His commandments, the bride's revelation, and the sacrifice of the Son. These truths existed before creation itself.
What Was Missing in This Catechism?
Reflect on what you've been taught in church, or perhaps by evangelists—whether in sermons or books. What is the key feature that is absent from this message?
THERE IS NO CONDEMNATION.
From the very beginning, there is no condemnation. His love for you precedes creation itself. The Lamb was slain before the foundations of the earth, and from before creation, God’s plan for your redemption was already in motion. There is no condemnation in His love—only the promise of life and restoration through Christ.
Discussion
Hebrew Before 600 AD and Its Link to Creation Before 600 AD, Hebrew didn’t have vowel markings like the ones we use today (called nikud). The letters themselves carried the meanings of the words, which made this ancient form of Hebrew very special. Some people believe the alphabet is more than just letters—it’s like a message from God that existed even before creation. This idea makes Hebrew feel like a language with a divine purpose, not just a way to communicate.
The Alphabet as a Message from God The Hebrew alphabet might tell a story from God. According to this idea, each letter represents an important part of creation and God’s plan to save and love humanity. For example, the letters could show how God created the world, reached out to people, sent His Son, and planned for redemption. This makes the alphabet not just a tool for writing but also a way to understand God’s story.
Hidden Messages in the Hebrew Letters Each Hebrew letter has a deep meaning connected to important biblical ideas. For instance:
- Adam’s name (אדם) is linked to the word for ground (אדמה), showing a connection between the Spirit (א) and blood (דם).
- Other letters, like ל and ם, are explained as symbols of how God’s Son taught and fulfilled God’s promises through His life, death, and resurrection.
These ideas turn the alphabet into a kind of guide that teaches big truths about God and His plan.
Creation and Redemption in the Alphabet The Hebrew alphabet can be seen as a timeline of creation and redemption. Each letter might stand for a key moment in God’s plan, from the beginning of the world to the salvation of humanity. This way of looking at the alphabet is unique, showing how the Hebrew language connects deeply to the Bible.
God’s Love Without Condemnation The text also says that God’s love existed before creation and has no condemnation in it. This challenges the idea that salvation is only about fixing sin. Instead, it shows God’s love and forgiveness as something much bigger, planned even before the world began. This idea connects to the Bible’s teaching that Jesus, the Lamb of God, was prepared to save the world before it was even created.
