Hebrew letters are not just letters, they are indeed numbers as well. Each letter is a word with meaning and every root word in the Hebrew aleph bet (where we get the word alphabet from) has a meaning.
The OT is the NT concealed, the NT is the OT revealed. They are the same story, one continuous story of the glory of the LORD.
The OT is the NT concealed, the NT is the OT revealed. They are the same story, one continuous story of the glory of the LORD.
And we are a part of it.
Truth is truth, truth has always been truth and truth will always be truth and truth is truth whether one believes it or not…
The number for truth is 9, emet = A M T
A=1 +M=40 +T=400 = 441 reduced 4+4+1 = 9.
9 the number of truth and the ninth letter of the Hebrew Aleph Bet…
Aleph = Representing GOD the creator.
Bet = the Son representing the SON is in the house, GOD is in the house HIS place of dwelling.
Gimel = GOD the creator, the LORD Jesus Christ traveled from HIS house to our house. And then gave us the offer of the HS, the comforter. 1,2,3,
Dalit also represents poor man, not necessarily a poor man, but poor mankind in the sense that all mankind is at one point without something.
What are they missing? GOD the creator. GOD the Son and GOD the HS.
JOH 15:5, “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.”
2CO 5:17, Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.
REV 3:20, Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
REV 2:17, Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who is victorious, I will give some of the hidden manna. I will also give that person a white stone with a new name written on it, known only to the one who receives it.
Vav represents the number 6 and represents the six days of the creation of the world, as well as the six physical dimensions (right left, front and back, up and down).
EPH 6:17, In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
Aleph = God the creator.
Bet = HIS House, the Son is in the house.
Gimel = The creator, the son travels to the house of HIS creation.
Dalit = Door The creator knocks on the door of the creation, man by offering the salvation of man.
REV 3:20, “Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.”
Aleph = God the creator.
Bet = HIS House, the Son is in the house.
Gimel = The creator, the son travels to the house of HIS creation.
Dalit = Door The creator knocks on the door of the creation, man by offering the salvation of man.
Hey = The window through which the believer now enter into a new spiritual life.
Vav = The connection between the Creator and HIS creation.
2CO 5:17, Therefore if any man is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.
Therefore if anyone is in Christ, they are a new creation: old things are passed away; behold, all things are made new.
GAL 2:20, I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me.
The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
JOH 15:4, Remain in me, as I remain in you. Just as a branch cannot bear fruit on its own unless it remains on the vine, so neither can you unless you remain in me.
Zayin = The sword of the Spirit. The believer has the Word of GOD the mind of Christ. Understadable.
Chet = The new beginning that the believer enters into with HS as the mentor. The plan of GOD for the believer’s life.
Yod = The hand of GOD is now in in the believers life. The plan of GOD.
Khaf symbolizes the crown of the Word of GOD.
The Khaf confronts us and asks the question about what we contain, what we are all about.
Do we contain worries and negative thoughts? Or do we contain the positive confidence of knowing we are in GOD’s plan for our life.
The lammed teaches us to learn from everything in life. After one has governed their tendencies in Khaf and no longer has the blockages of the ego interfering, they can begin to learn the spiritual perfection of their own self, and to learn the laws, will, and ways of the Creator. This is the process of learning to align with the will of the Creator.
ISA 49:16, Can a woman forget her nursing child And have no compassion on the son of her womb? Even these may forget, but I will not forget you. "Behold, I have inscribed you on the palms of MY hands; Your wellbeing is continually before ME.
Christ's miracle of feeding the five thousand is unique in that it is the only one that all four Gospel writers mention.
To test Phillip's faith, He asks him how the people could be fed. Not only does Philip learn a lesson of faith, but all of the disciples learn that true faith must rely on Divine resources.
However, faith enables us to see that with the omnipotent LORD of all, all things are possible.
This miracle is a magnificent act of creative power. No amount of human reasoning can reduce this miracle to a natural phenomenon. (although people have tried).
He begins to tally all of the supplies the disciples had among themselves, and somewhat sadly reports: "Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not sufficient for them."
One denari was a day's wage at the time. So, they didn’t have much, compared to all the need.
However, faith enables us to see that with the omnipotent LORD of all, all things are possible. This miracle is a magnificent act of creative power. No amount of human reasoning can reduce this miracle to a natural phenomenon.
The First Advent HE was the suffering Servant, the next time HE sets foot on the earth, HE will be the conquering King. Therefore, HE came on a donkey the first time, the next time HE will come on a horse.
JOH 6:26, “You are looking for me, not because you saw the signs I performed but because you ate the loaves and had your fill. Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you.”
It is easy to get caught up like that, be careful…People do stupid things when they get what they think they want. Jesus was frustrated with the shallowness of his followers.
And, just like that, Many left, why? Because HE didn’t do things their way. And because the spiritually dead were not capable of understanding what HE said, and because that was not what they wanted to hear. Another lesson for us.
7 Miracles involving water:
Water into wine at the Wedding at Cana.
The first miraculous catch of fish.
Healing of the man at the pool at Bethesda.
Calming the storm.
Walking on water at the Sea of Galilee.
The second miraculous catch of fish.
Healing of a man born blind.
MAT 14:28-32, Peter said to Him, “Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.” And He said, “Come!”
And Peter got out of the boat, and walked on the water and came toward Jesus.
But seeing the wind, he became frightened, and beginning to sink, he cried out, “Lord, save me!” Immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and took hold of him, and said to him, “You of little faith, why did you doubt?” When they got into the boat, the wind stopped.
Perception equals reality but not necessarily the truth. Peter perceived
Shortly thereafter, Peter suddenly looks around and his perception now changes.
But now he takes his eyes off the LORD and the perception of reality changes.
Truth never changed, Peter was in good hands, no, he was in great hands. But he took his eyes off the LORD.
PRO 4:26 -27, Make a level path for your feet, and all your ways will be sure. Do not swerve to the right or to the left; turn your feet away from evil.
MAR 8:22-26, And they came to Bethsaida. And they brought a blind man to Jesus and implored Him to touch him. Taking the blind man by the hand, He brought him out of the village; and after spitting on his eyes and laying His hands on him, He asked him, “Do you see anything?” And he looked up and said, “I see men, for I see them like trees, walking around.”
Then again He laid His hands on his eyes; and he looked intently and was restored, and began to see everything clearly. And He sent him to his home, saying, “Do not even enter the village.”
To be an effective believer, that is one who lives inside the plan of GOD, they have to have a separation of sorts. You cannot live with one foot in the world and one in GOD’s plan.
But as our faith, obedience, and growth develops, Jesus, "the author and finisher of our faith" (HEB 12:2), increases the clarity of our spiritual vision through the power of HIS Holy Spirit.
I knew that you always hear me, but I said this for the benefit of the people standing here, that they may believe that you sent me.”
When he had said this, Jesus called in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”
Our LORD knew the perfect timing of GOD the Father so the max number of people would see and believe.
JOH 11:45, Therefore many of the Jews who came to Mary, and saw what He had done, believed in Him.
Remember things in our life happen all for a reason, GOD’s plan for us involves others as well. And the LORD can use any event for HIS glory. Be available…
