'''Yod י New creation''' [Yod_י_New_creation ∞]
Imagine that a blank page [v 1] represents God in all his perfection. God is! There is no introduction to God. He just is.
[1] [2]
If we touch the page and draw on it, it no longer represents God.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]
|
- ↑ The same is true of Genesis 1:1 ▸ ± Ge 1:1 where he just exists. There is no mention of His beginning.
- ↑ see Something from nothing
- ↑ ▸ ± Ex 20:4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness [of any thing] that [is] in heaven above, or that [is] in the earth beneath, or that [is] in the water under the earth:
- ↑ ▸ ± Ex 20:25 And if thou wilt make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stone: for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it.
- ↑ ▸ ± Le 26:1 ¶ Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up [any] image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I [am] the LORD your God.

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.

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.

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.
|
- ↑ ▸ ± Job 38:4 Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.
|
|
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]
|
- ↑ ▸ ± Ge 1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness [was] upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
|
|
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.

Creation is the work of God.

| Formation - The vav [∞]
Discussion
| The distinct Vav
The vav is the "sword" of the word. It is a prefix meaning 'and'. Like 'and' it divides two things and connects them. [1] As a visual allegory, it looks like a sword. It indicates that there are two sides to an issue.
To understand ideas, we pull them apart and put them back together. This clarifies and distinguishes the meaning. It represents the word spoken into the void to separate God from his creation and pull them back together. [2]
|
- ↑ ▸ ± Heb 4:12 For the word of God [is] quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and [is] a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
- ↑ ▸ ± Ge 1:3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

Discussion
| Zayin ז The Bride
The zayin is drawn up the left side of the Square Letter Template. It meets a yud at the top like a tiny 'T'. It differs from the vav ו which descends from a yod י. It is that which returns to God. Alone, or with other elements it usually describes the bride of Christ. The word zayin means 'prostitute'. The bride of Christ (the church) was a prostitute (sinner) that was made in to the virgin (pure bride).

Answers
- ↑ Rebekah was 'took' (married) by the servant and was uncovered with him before she saw Isaac. Leah represents the prostitute and Rachel the virgin. Gomer was a prostitute and she named her son "God sows" as a hint of the virgin birth.

The nun נ represents the son of man. You see the vav ו in it, but then at the bottom, it has a short horizontal. The Word (vav) has become flesh (man). [1] In the final form the lower horizontal turns vertical and descends below the square text template. His flesh has died and put in the earth.

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.

Questions
- ↑ How does the rosh ר differ from the dalet ד.

Formation - Bet [∞]
Bet ב Revealed to man. When drawing the bet say, "He revealed himself to man".
Discussion

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.

Formation - Kof [∞]
Kof כ The Son of God. When you draw the kof כ say, "The Son of God".
Discussion
|
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.

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

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