My work isn’t finished, and I’d love to hear thoughts and ideas from others. But so far, this journey has been exciting and rewarding. I believe I’m on the right path to uncovering the deeper meanings of Hebrew and, through it, the Bible itself. | My work isn’t finished, and I’d love to hear thoughts and ideas from others.

[1] We do not do any kind of Gematria, but treat numbers as any other symbol which must follow the same rules. Twenty-eight (28) is much more interesting than twenty-two (22) because of the abundant usage of 4 and 7 as symbols compared to the dearth of 22. It suggests that the alphabet contains 'all' (7) that God has to say through the four (4) voices of prophet, judge, priest and king. Everything that can be said is formed by the combination of the meaning of the letters. This eliminates the idea that spirituality is an ethereal experience incapable of being put in words. Awe alone is not spirituality. True spirituality is knowing God as he has chosen to be known, through the means he has given to be known. | |||
