Pe פ Spoke in prophecy, parable, and riddle

Pe פ Spoke in prophecy, parable, and riddle []


Discussion

The pe פ is drawn as a kof כ, and then a yod י is hung from the top left. Examine the pe פ closely and you will see an invisible yod י inside the letter. This suggests that the Son of God spoke of invisible things (the hidden yod) using visible things (the dangling yod). [1] This is the nature of mystery, riddle, metaphor, parable and prophecy. The pe represents the Son of God as prophet, and prophecy.

  1. ± Ro 1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, [even] his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

Pe פא - means 'answer' and 'eye'. This relates to the metaphor of 'seeing' as a symbol for 'understanding' the mystery and works of Christ. [v 1]

Note: Some traditional symbols, allegory and metaphor are memories of when the church could read the scriptures like Christ did. Proper metaphor derives from the words themselves.
