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. (See Appendix 1.1: Pre-600 AD Hebrew and its Connection to 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 ).
(See Appendix 1.2: The Alphabet as a Message from God )
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. (See Appendix 1.3: Creation and Redemption in the Hebrew Alphabet )
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. (see Appendix 1.4 : The Absence of Condemnation in God's Plan )
Discussion
- How did Hebrew before 600 AD differ from modern Hebrew in terms of vowel markings, and what significance does this hold in understanding the language's connection to creation?
- In what ways might the Hebrew alphabet be seen as a divine message from God, and how does this perspective enhance our understanding of Hebrew as more than just a communication tool?
- What hidden meanings might be found in the Hebrew letters, and how do these meanings reflect key biblical concepts, such as the connection between Adam and the earth, or God’s plan for redemption?
- How can the Hebrew alphabet be interpreted as a timeline of creation and redemption, and what insights does this interpretation provide into the relationship between language and God’s plan?
- How does the idea that God’s love existed before creation challenge traditional views of salvation, and what implications does this have for understanding God’s love and forgiveness in the Bible?
