If we will know what God intends to make known we must start with what he says. The letters of the Hebrew alphabet create the meaning of the words in scripture. The words create the meaning that God intended. Each letter is a metaphor whose meaning is a topic for God's systematic theology. As we observe the explosion of the letter meaning into word meanings and then into theology, it will be apparent that knowledge of the cross is required to discern it. | |||
