You are not expected to blindly accept the natural catechism above. This is the summary of the next few dozen articles. It is the finished product, in short form, of what we will be exploring.
First we will observe and classify letters by their form. It is proposed by ancient rabbis that letter got their meaning from the yods and vavs ('jots' and 'tittles' in Greek). Since the rabbis do not wish to know Christ, we ignore their teaching on the meaning of letters and seek to discover them from scripture. This took me the better part of ten years, five of which were focused on Gen 1:1 and the alphabet. The same time that the meaning of letters was being discerned from the strokes, a list of 8000 Hebrews words was being reverse engineered, as i a giant crossword puzzle. When the bottom-up and top-down methods joined, the results were useful for discerning the sensus plenior, or Paul's mystery, from scripture.
