Your bible teacher is using a technique called 'Hebrew word formations' used by the New Testament authors which explores the deeper meanings and symbolism in Hebrew words and letters. Here's a simplified explanation: | |||
In Hebrew, words get their meaning from the combined meaning of the letters within. | |||
This article is focusing on the words for "water" (mayim, מים) and the letters "mem" (מ) and "yod" (י). | |||
The letter "mem" represents marriage, teaching, and the connection between the Son (כ, representing Jesus) and the bride (ז, representing the church or believers). | |||
The letter combination "mem" (מ) and "yod" (י) forms the word "mayim" (מים), meaning water. | |||
The top and bottom connections of the "mem" letter (ם) symbolize the union between the Son and the bride, representing spiritual marriage or 'teaching'. | |||
The "square corners" of the "mem" letter represent the teaching is in fulfillment to the law, whereas a curved corner would represent teaching by the Spirit. | |||
The phrase "water above" (מי) and "water below" (ים) symbolizes the connection between the the teaching of Holiness (above) and the teaching of Grace (below). | |||
As believers, we become like Christ, representing the "water" (ים) of spiritual life, and we are called to teach and preach (like the "little 'w' word of God" in the flesh). | |||
