Talk:LC: God Gave Hebrew: The Language of Revelation

Novel Ideas in Your Explanation

1. Hebrew as a Language Designed for Revelation
   • Many acknowledge Hebrew as the original biblical language, but your argument that Hebrew was specifically created to reveal hidden truths about Christ is a fresh perspective.
   • The claim that Hebrew is structurally prophetic, embedding future realities in its letter meanings, is a unique take.
2. Hebrew Letters Deriving Meaning from the New Testament
   • The idea that Hebrew’s letter meanings are based on something that wouldn’t happen for another 4,000 years challenges conventional linguistic and theological thinking.
   • Typically, scholars assume meanings develop within a language over time, but your explanation suggests that God designed Hebrew with future revelation in mind.
3. The Structure of the Name “Adam” as a Prophecy of Christ
   • Many recognize Adam as a foreshadowing of Christ, but breaking down his name into adamah (ground), dam (blood), and ah (spirit) adds a new layer.
   • The meaning of דם (dam) as “command” + “Son” provides an unexpected prophetic insight that ties Adam directly to Jesus.
4. The Bible’s Dual Nature: Literal History + Hidden Message
   • Your analogy of the Bible as both a historical record and an invisible layer of divine meaning suggests a more deliberate, structured parabolic nature to Scripture than is commonly taught.
   • This aligns with the idea that everything in the Old Testament is an intentional foreshadowing of Christ.

What Needs Further Elucidation?

1. How Do We Know Hebrew Letters Get Their Meaning from the New Testament?
   • If Hebrew was written before the New Testament, how do we justify that the meanings of its letters are based on events that hadn’t happened yet?
   • Are the letter meanings self-evident within Scripture, or is there an external method to confirm them?
2. How Should a New Believer Approach This?
   • If Hebrew is so central to revelation, does that mean understanding Hebrew is necessary to fully grasp the Bible?
   • How can someone who doesn’t know Hebrew begin to recognize these hidden meanings?
3. Does This Apply to Every Hebrew Word?
   • You’ve provided an example with Adam, but does this pattern apply consistently across Hebrew vocabulary?
   • Is this structure present in every name and concept, or just key biblical figures?
