Joh 1:1
The Word [∞][edit | edit source]
📖 John 1:1–5
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
The same was in the beginning with God.
All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
John’s doctrine of the Word isn’t invented—it’s inherited from Genesis.
By SP, every Hebrew letter speaks of Christ. And in the first three Hebrew words of Scripture, John found his Gospel.
In the beginning was the Word [∞][edit | edit source]
Genesis 1:1 opens:
בראשית ברא אלהים
“In the beginning, created God…”
SP reads bara (ברא) not just as “created,” but as:
The Word that creates
Because whenever God creates, He speaks.
So ברא = the act of speaking and creating — the Word in action.
And ברא is already inside בראשית. So:
In the beginning (בראשית) was the Word (ברא).
The Word was with God [∞][edit | edit source]
Genesis 1:1 again:
בראשית ברא אלהים
The Word (ברא) stands right beside God (אלהים).
By position in the text, the Word is with God.
The Word was God [∞][edit | edit source]
Now examine the structure of ברא:
- בר = the Son
- א = the act of creation — He spoke and created the heavens and the earth
So בר–א means:
The Son who spoke and created
This is exactly John's claim:
The Word is the Son
The Son is the one through whom all things were made
Therefore: The Word was God
The same was in the beginning with God [∞][edit | edit source]
Everything John writes is embedded in Genesis 1:1:
- בראשית = beginning
- ברא = the Word
- בר = the Son
- א = the act of creation
- And אלהים = God
He is the Word,
He is the Son,
He is the one who created,
And He was there in the beginning—with God.
