'''Yod י New creation''' [Yod_י_New_creation ∞]
If we touch the page and draw on it, it no longer represents God.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] |
|
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] |
|
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. |
|
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] |
|
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 |
|
The name yod יד means 'hand' which is a metaphor for works. [1][v 2] Creation is the work of God. |

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.
Dalet ד the commandment [∞]
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. |

Formation - The Nun family [∞]
נ ע צ ש ץ
The nun - Son of Man Family is based on variations on the nun and they all relate to the Son of Man.
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 [1] in order to be qualified to be our high priest [2][q 1][a 1][q 2][a 2] |

Ayin ע tempted in the flesh [∞]
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 [2], hence the distraction by the zayin ז bride. [v 1][q 1][a 1] |

Tsadi צ exchanged his righteousness [∞]
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. [1] Where the ayin ע was the bearing of sin, the tsadi is the gift of righteousness through his death. When you draw the tsadi say, "He gave his righteousness". [v 1] |

Shin ש The Spirit enabled the Word to have an increase [∞]
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 [1] or the marriage where the bride comes from the side of Christ [2] or the Spirit which gives life to the bride so that she can marry [3][q 1][a 1][q 2][a 2][q 3][a 3][v 1] |

Final tsadi ץ Judgement ended [∞]
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] |

ר ב כ ת
Formation - Rosh [∞] Rosh ר Revealed Discussion
The rosh ר was part of the vav - Word Extended Family as a vav ו extended with a horizontal vav on the top. It also starts it's own family. All members of this family are related to the rosh as revelation. [q 1][a 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. |

Bet ב Revealed to man. When drawing the bet say, "He revealed himself to man".
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. [v 1] |

Kof כ The Son of God. When you draw the kof כ say, "The Son of God".
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. |

Tov ת It is finished. When you draw the Tov say. "Finished with a new life".
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 ∞]
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. [2] |

''Bet'' ב or בת or בית vs ''bethah'' בתה [Bet_ב_or_בת_or_בית_vs_bethah_בתה ∞]
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. [v 1] |
