LC: God Gave Hebrew: The Language of Revelation [∞]
When God chose people to record His grand story, He gave them a unique language—Hebrew. Unlike any other language, Hebrew isn’t just a collection of words; its meaning runs deeper. Each word is built from letters that carry their own meaning.
But here’s something incredible: The meanings of these letters come from the New Testament—written nearly 4,000 years after the first Hebrew words were recorded.
Take the name Adam, for example:
- Adam (אדם) comes from the ground (adamah, אדמה).
- He was made of blood (dam, דם) and spirit (ah, ה).
- Even the word dam (דם) reveals a hidden truth:
- ד (Dalet) – A command.
- ם (Mem) – The finished work of the Son.
- Together, this points to the Son fulfilling the command—a foreshadowing of Christ!
Let that sink in: The structure of Hebrew itself reveals something that wouldn't happen for another 4,000 years. This is proof of an invisible God, one whom no man has seen, yet who has embedded His truth into the very language He gave for revelation.
"For prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit." — 2 Peter 1:21
"There are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one." — 1 John 5:7
"No one has seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him." — John 1:18
The Hebrew language is not just an ancient script—it is the language God designed to reveal His truth, and the Bible is His message to the world!
