HEBREW ALPHABET

For reference to future posts:

The Hebrew alphabet has 22 letters with 5 of those letters having a final (soffit) or prophetic form, making the total count 27. Each letter is counted ordinally as well as having an assigned value. For example: 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 thru 27 but also counting by 10's and 100's, thus the alphabet starts with 1 and ends back at alef as 1000. So '1 does chase 1000. Joshua

Joshua 23:10
One man of you shall chase a thousand,
for the Lord your God is He who fights for you, 'as He promised you.
Hebrew is read from right to left.

When you begin to look at each letter - each word - -they tell a story. For example:

ADAM: In Hebrew ed)
The letter ALEF is an ox, but numerically its weight declares the name JEHOVAH [Jesus]. ALEF is known as MASTER, TEACHER, THOUSAND. The NT tells us that Jesus, is Master, Teacher, Rabbi. Looking at Adam then you first see:

........................e........................d........................)
...................MESSIAH..............DOOR............ JESUS

You also see:

.......................ed........................)
...................BLOOD...............JESUS

Adam was made in God's image - the lineage of 'Jesus blood'. There is much hidden manna in the Hebrew alphabet.

But you also see one who had the opportunity to be conformed to the image of God, but chose a momentary gratification of flesh - Esau, who is Edom:

..................................ed) EDOM

Genesis 36:8
So Esau dwelt in Mount Seir (to be afraid when the storm comes). Esau (as coarse) is Edom.

Happy hunting.

Shalom!
