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

Pre-600 AD Hebrew and its Connection to Creation:

• The text presents the idea that pre-600 AD Hebrew—before the introduction of vowel markings (nikud)—derives its meaning from the letters themselves. This perspective highlights an ancient form of Hebrew that connects the alphabet directly to divine truths, positioning the Hebrew letters as a message from God, predating creation. This view is novel because it portrays Hebrew as an active vehicle for divine communication, offering theological depth beyond mere linguistic structure.

The Alphabet as a Message from God:

• The text suggests that the Hebrew alphabet itself communicates a message from God, encapsulating the story of creation and redemption. Each letter's significance is tied to key theological concepts like creation, God's pursuit of humanity, the sacrifice of the Son, and final redemption. This interpretation of the alphabet as a divinely encoded narrative is a profound theological innovation, offering a way to understand Scripture through the very structure of its language.

Theological Symbolism Embedded in Individual Letters:

• The author elaborates a unique theological symbolism for each letter of the alphabet. For example:

Adam's name (אדם) as tied to the word for ground (אדמה) and the connection between Spirit (א) and blood (דם).

The Son of God (כ) teaching the promise of the Father (מ) and fulfilling it through His life, death, and resurrection.

These associations are intended to show how each letter in the alphabet prefigures key events in God's redemptive plan. The metaphoric use of the alphabet as a "catechism" of divine truths provides a new way to read Scripture, highlighting the theological importance of the Hebrew language itself.

Creation and Redemption in the Hebrew Alphabet:

• The author presents a systematic breakdown of the Hebrew alphabet, assigning each letter to key moments in creation and redemption. This concept of reading the alphabet as encoding the story of salvation is distinctive, offering a new interpretive lens through which one might understand both the Hebrew language and biblical theology.

The Absence of Condemnation in God's Plan:

• The text emphasizes that God’s love, untainted by condemnation, precedes creation itself. This theological insight—that there is no condemnation in God's love—challenges traditional interpretations of salvation history. It points to the preexistent nature of God’s redemptive plan, as the Lamb was slain before the foundations of the world, revealing a more expansive view of divine love and forgiveness.
