ELTBefore Pei פ
The *פ* (Pe) is a letter that can be seen as a *כ* (Kaf) with a *י* (Yod) dangling, symbolizing the Son of God who speaks of invisible spiritual truths using visible, earthly things. This concept is foundational in the teachings of Jesus, who often spoke in parables, mysteries, and prophecies to reveal divine truths. The *י* (Yod), which is almost invisible in the white space of the *פ* (Pe), represents the hidden, unseen nature of God’s message, while the visible aspects represent the earthly means by which those truths are communicated.
Here are some scriptures that reflect this idea of the Son of God speaking of invisible things through visible things, using parables, mysteries, and prophecy:
**Jesus Speaking in Parables**
1. ▸ ± Matthew 13:10-11
*"The disciples came to him and asked, 'Why do you speak to the people in parables?' He replied, 'Because the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them.'"* - Jesus explains that He speaks in parables to reveal spiritual truths to those who are receptive, using visible stories to reveal hidden, divine realities.
2. ▸ ± Matthew 13:34-35
*"Jesus spoke all these things to the crowd in parables; he did not say anything to them without using a parable. So was fulfilled what was spoken through the prophet: 'I will open my mouth in parables, I will utter things hidden since the creation of the world.'"* - Jesus' use of parables fulfills prophecy, speaking of hidden truths using visible, earthly stories, aligning with the symbolism of the *פ* (Pe) revealing the invisible through the visible.
**Jesus Teaching in Mysteries**
3. ▸ ± Matthew 13:16-17
*"But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear. For truly I tell you, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it."* - Jesus speaks of the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven that are being revealed to His disciples, which were once hidden from others, fulfilling the idea of invisible truths becoming visible through His teachings.
*"He said, 'The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but to others I speak in parables, so that, 'though seeing, they may not see; though hearing, they may not understand.'"* - Here, Jesus explains that the mysteries of the kingdom of God are revealed in such a way that only those with spiritual insight can understand, making visible the invisible through parables.
**Jesus Using Prophecy to Reveal Invisible Truths**
5. ▸ ± John 16:25
*"Though I have been speaking figuratively, a time is coming when I will no longer use this kind of language but will tell you plainly about my Father."* - Jesus acknowledges that He has been speaking in figurative language (parables, mysteries) but promises a time when He will reveal the Father more directly, indicating that invisible truths are made known through visible, accessible language.
6. ▸ ± Mark 4:11-12
*"He told them, 'The secret of the kingdom of God has been given to you. But to those on the outside everything is said in parables so that, 'they may be ever seeing but never perceiving, and ever hearing but never understanding; otherwise they might turn and be forgiven.'"* - Jesus speaks of the hidden nature of the kingdom of God, revealing its secrets through parables, and making visible the invisible truths of God’s kingdom.
**The Parable of the Hidden Things Revealed**
7. ▸ ± Matthew 13:52
*"He said to them, 'Therefore every teacher of the law who has been instructed about the kingdom of heaven is like the owner of a house who brings out of his storeroom new treasures as well as old.'"* - Jesus compares the teacher of the law to a householder who brings out both new and old treasures, symbolizing the unfolding of hidden truths (the invisible) through visible teaching.
**Conclusion**
These scriptures illustrate how Jesus, as the Son of God, used parables, mysteries, and prophecy to reveal invisible spiritual truths through visible earthly means. The *פ* (Pe), with its hidden *י* (Yod) in the white space, symbolizes how these divine truths are both hidden and revealed in ways that can be understood by those who are spiritually receptive.
