Notarikon is not a novelty—it is a key to understanding how God embedded meaning into the very fabric of Hebrew, revealing the depth of His Word.


Notarikon is not a novelty []

Notarikon: Unlocking the Language of Creation

For many, Notarikon is dismissed as a mystical novelty, a tool for inventing allegorical meanings. But when properly understood, it is far from arbitrary—it is a structured method of uncovering the foundational truths that God embedded in the Hebrew language itself.

The Purpose of Notarikon

Originally, Notarikon was used to explain how Hebrew words derive meaning from the combined meanings of their individual letters. This reflects a fractal expansion—a single thought, embedded in the smallest unit, grows into a deeper revelation as strokes and dots form letters, then words. Later, to obscure Christ, Notarikon was repurposed to focus on anagrams, shifting the focus from divine structure to free-form allegory. However, when restored to its proper use, Notarikon reveals fundamental theology embedded in the very letters of Scripture.

The Fractal Expansion: The First Thought of Creation

  • The yod (י) represents the Creator and His initial thought of creation.
  • The vav (ו) means "He spoke into the void," showing that creation happened through speech.
  • The silent aleph (א), composed of yods and a vav (יוי), pronounces **"ee-oo-ee " sounding like "Yahweh" **, declaring the self-existent Creator.

Thus, before creation began, the letters themselves testified of God’s nature and work. The alphabet is a message from him from before creation.

Notarikon in Genesis 1:1

Even the first word of Scripture, בראשית (Bereshith), is an embedded revelation:

  • By its letters: "A revelation to man ב, he revealed ר that God spoke and created the heavens and the earth א. His word did not return void ש, but His creation י was completed with new life springing up ת."
  • By its formation: Splitting it into "ברא-שית" (bara-shit) means "created six," affirming the six days of creation.

Genesis 1:1-2:5 confirms this, as the entire passage speaks of a six-day creation. But more than that, each day represents a division of Scripture, like a Table of Contents, revealing that the entire Bible declares God as the Creator.

The Twofold Witness of Creation and Word

Romans 1:20 affirms that God’s invisible attributes are clearly seen in creation. But just as creation reveals Him, so does the fractal expansion of His Word. This establishes two unshakable witnesses:

  1. The universe, which they say is expanding and he says declares His glory (Psalm 19:1).
  2. The Word, which expands in layers of revelation (Isaiah 55:11).

Thus, God is known both by His creation and by His Word, structured through Notarikon.

Notarikon and the Alphabet: The Language of Creation

When God created, He used words (Genesis 1:3). But to use words, there must be an alphabet.

  • Some languages exist without a written form, yet they all have a phonetic structure, which can be written if developed.
  • However, no other language possesses the structured meaning within each letter that Hebrew does.
  • The square-text Hebrew alphabet contains precise theological meaning, down to the strokes.
  • The Paleo-Hebrew alphabet, while containing phonetic elements, lacks the depth of Notarikon found in the square text.

For example, the aleph (א) in Paleo-Hebrew appears as an ox-head, which does not inherently reveal Yahweh. But in the square text, the structure of the aleph contains the silent name of God (יוי), and that he is Trinity.

This suggests that the Hebrew alphabet itself is a fundamental catechism—designed to teach the truths of God before the first word was ever spoken.

Controversial? Addressing Evangelical Concerns

  1. Is Notarikon just mysticism?
    • Some dismiss it as Kabbalistic wordplay, but Notarikon was originally used to explain Hebrew’s built-in meaning—not to create random interpretations.
  2. Doesn’t Hebrew just develop like other languages?
    • Other languages evolve through cultural shifts, but Hebrew begins with embedded meaning in every letter—a feature unique to its structure.
  3. Why does this matter?
    • If God created through speech, then the structure of His language carries divine intention. Ignoring this is like studying creation while denying its Creator.

Conclusion: The Natural Catechism

Notarikon is not a novelty—it is the blueprint of revelation, the expansion of God’s thought into His Word.

Before we read the words of Scripture, the letters themselves declare His name, His work, and His plan. To understand them is not to add mystery—it is to uncover what was there from the beginning.
