WILL WE ALL BE SPEAKING HEBREW?

Genesis 1.1 -- In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

In the beginning was the word. The "word" is compromised of letters and numbers since every Hebrew letter represents a number as well.  When God spoke with letters he also spoke with numbers. God's intention is in both.

In classic Jewish mystical thought, versus "law," divine speech, letters (meaning) and their numerical structure (measure, order) are built into the fabric of reality, somewhat like “semantic physics.”

Genesis portrays God creating by speech, which Jewish mystics interpret as God “inscribing” reality with letters and their combinations before any physical objects appear. On the 4th day of creation God creates the luminaries, the sun, moon and stars, but the cosmos is already encoded with measure, number, and rhythm. The luminaries adhere to the laws that God spoke into existence on day ONE.

I Search the Hebrew Letters for the Truth:

In Genesis 1.1, there are 7 Hebrew words containing 28 letters. There is amazing truth revealed through the letters and numbers in the very first verse of the Torah alone. Much has been written about that, but it doesn't stop there! Genesis 1.1 is just the beginning. 

Jewish sources describe the world as constructed through the 22 Hebrew letters, understood as spiritual “building blocks” or channels of divine energy. Each letter is not just a sound but a mode of divine intention shaping specific aspects of creation. The ancients saw each letter as a pictograph. But people were speaking before they were writing. Speech is far older than writing. Hebrew letters represent the world from the beginning in as much as Man was created in the image of God. Before their was the Hebrew word, their was the hebrew letter that represented an entire concept of creation. Water existed before the word for water did. Before the word water existed the letters to write water existed. The Hebrew word for water, Mayim is a fine example of what I am efforting to describe. 

TWO EXAMPLES: 1) WATER AND 2) JONAH:

WATER

God Separated the Waters:

Ancient Mem

The Hebrew word for water is mayim (מים), which is composed of the letters Mem (מ, ם) and Yod (י). The ancient form of the letter Mem (the 13th letter) looks like waves signifying both the life-giving and chaotic aspects of water. (Do check out the connection between 13 and love.) 

Mem (מ) in the Torah has a dual form: a regular form and a final (sofit) form which is a closed square. The final form is used at the end of a word. Some interpret the two shapes as symbolizing entering and emerging from water, entering in one shape and exiting in another. Jewish law requires that one immerse in a mikveh (מִקְוֶה) as part of the process of conversion to Judaism. Immersion in water is practice of purification. The Christian will undoubtedly think of a water Baptism. 

In between the two forms of Mem (מים), in the word mayim (מים) is the letter Yod (י).  Yod looks like an apostrophe. Yod is the tenth letter in the Hebrew aleph-beyt and has a value of 10.

Ancient Yod

The ancient pictograph of the letter Yod is an arm and hand, symbolizing God's power, action, and creative force. In Jewish tradition, it represents the "hand of God." Do you see the arm/hand of God separating the two waters in creation? 

JONAH

Here is nother example of how the Hebrew letters and numbers correlate to biblical messages...Let's look at the name "Jonah." 

Jonah in Hebrew is יוֹנָה (Yonah): י–ו–נ–ה. 

Letter values:

י (yod) = 10

ו (vav) = 6

נ (nun) = 50

ה (heh) = 5 

Total gematria: 10 + 6 + 50 + 5 = 71. 

Reduced to 7+1=8.  8 suggests a supernatural

dimension. 

 

Yonah (יוֹנָה) means "dove." The dove is seen both as a symbol of peace and of salvation. 

There is SO much to unpack in Genesis 8:6-12 about Noach. What's Noach got to do with Yonah? Tons!

8 He also sent out from himself a dove, to see if the waters had receded from the face of the ground. 9 But the dove found no resting place for the sole of her foot, and she returned into the ark to him, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth. So he put out his hand and took her, and drew her into the ark to himself. 10 And he waited yet another seven days, and again he sent the dove out from the ark. 11 Then the dove came to him in the evening, and behold, a freshly plucked olive leaf was in her mouth; and Noah knew that the waters had receded from the earth. 12 So he waited yet another seven days and sent out the dove, which did not return again to him anymore.

• Noah is the story of a second creation with waters receeding from the face of the ground.
• The 7 Noahide Laws are a set of universal ethical and moral laws, believed by Judaism to be binding on all of humanity, not just Jews.
• Noah sent out each 3 doves, each after waiting 7 days.  The numbers 3 and 7 carry significant meaning.
• In this story the doves had a significant mission. The Yonah in Noah and the Prophet Jonah both were sent on a mission. Each result result is symbolic. 
• The dove returned with an olive branch which is a universal symbol of peace. 
• Noah's name in Hebrew comes from the Hebrew root "nuakh," which means "rest" or "comfort." In Christianity the Dove is a symbol of the Holy Spirit. The first dove found no rest for the sole of it's foot. The 2nd dove did. 
• The last dove went away and hasn't returned, yet. Jonah went on a mission to Nineveh and didn't return to Jerusalem. His tomb is in ancient Nineveh, called Mosul today. 

There's so much more, especially in each letter of Yonah. But surely you can see that Yonah is a sign. 

Yonah = 71. That's not be lost either. Psalm 71: Found in the Book of Psalms, often called the "Psalm of Old Age," contains prayers for deliverance and refuge in God. It is also about facing enemies. Does that remind you of anyone? 

The word "Selah" is mentioned 71 times in the Psalms, along with three times in the book of Habakkuk. The exact meaning of "Selah" is uncertain, but it is often interpreted as a musical instruction or a direction to pause and reflect. 

It is fair to say from the examples of "Water" and "Jonah" that the Hebrew letters and numbers provide us plenty of biblical insights. 

Laws of the Universe

When God "spoke" the universe into creation and created the heavens and earth on the first day, He established the math which governs the universe. All the laws of physics that the universe abides by came into existence. The periodic table is a discovered pattern of physical reality. 

The Hebrew letters and numbers go hand and hand, but they work in different ways. Numbers are the poetry of the mathematician’s mind. A mathematician sees beauty not in what numbers are, but in what they reveal. Where others see symbols, a mathematician finds symmetry, truth, and the quiet beauty of logic.

The numerical values of the letters provide us a mathmatical means of searching and confirming God's word. 

When Early Man Drew A Letter He Was Depicting God’s Intention and A Force In the World

Hebrew is seen not just as a human language but as the code of creation. The letters are like spiritual atoms. Each letter is treated as an active force or energy, not merely a sound, so combining letters is seen as combining distinct spiritual “properties.” In the bible, words like fire, water, and wind have meaning. Spacial relationships like up & down, east & west have meaning. Darkness and Light, including the dark matter and the invisible light we can not see, existed the moment God spoke them into existence on the first day.  

When God created the universe, He created the natural that we can see and the supernatural we don't see. Seeking God in scriptures is like seeking understanding through science or mathematics. The spiritually blind aethist perceives DNA or celluar biology as proof that God doesn't exist. Those with spiritual sight recognize God's signature in science and math. When astronomers look for life and the end of the universe through powerful telescopes, what they find only prooves how much God loves the world and what a special house He created for Man.

Every letter and word carries a quantitative pattern, which can reveal a hidden coherence in Scripture. Many Jewish and Christian interpreters see the recurring numerical patterns, like key names and phrases sharing values. The numbers are God’s mathematical signature that points to an underlying rational design, much as physical laws do in nature. 

Hebrew can be compared to “chemical language” in the sense that its letters and structures function like elemental building blocks that combine to form more complex realities, both linguistically and spiritually. 

Like H²O (water) or NaCl (Sodium Chloride), each Hebrew letter is compounded from other letters. Below is an example with the first Hebrew letter, Aleph. 

The first Hebrew letter, Aleph, is comprised of 2 Yods and 1 Vav. A Yod is 10 and a Vav has a value of 6. So Aleph, ONE, is equal to (10+10+6)= 26. 26 is the value of God's unspeakable name YHVH (10+5+6+5).

PURE SPEECH

There is just ONE verse in the Tenach that contains the full Hebrew alphabet (Aleph-Bet); all 22 primary letters, including the five letters that have a special "final" or "sofit" form when they appear at the end of a word. That is verse Zephaniah 3.8. It speaks of God's judgment on all the nations of the earth, to be carried out by His "fierce anger" and "jealous anger" which will consume the whole world. The verse encourages the people of God to wait for this day, which is also a day of ultimate salvation for those who are faithful, and calls for repentance from sin. 

The next verse, Zephaniah 3.9 reads:

“For at that time I will change the speech of the peoples to a pure speech, that all of them may call upon the name of the Lord and serve him with one accord." 

What language will that "pure speech" be? Many believe it will be Hebrew because God spoke it. It was the language before Babel, planted in Adam's brain, in the Garden of Eden. 

Zephaniah's name means "God has hidden." But one day, we will all be speaking God's pure language. In the meantime, I'll keep searching the scriptures with the Hebrew letters. 

Deuteronomy 4:24 -- For the Lord your God is a consuming fire🔥אֵשׁ (esh), a jealous God.

Hebrew 12:25-29 -- "See that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For if they did not escape who refused Him who spoke on earth, much more shall we not escape if we turn away from Him who speaks from heaven, whose voice then shook the earth; but now He has promised, saying, “Yet once more I shake not only the earth, but also heaven.” Now this, “Yet once more,” indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken, as of things that are made, that the things which cannot be shaken may remain. Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we [l]may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear. For our God is a consuming fire."
