d[< since Hebrew is read from right to left the letter for eye is encountered before the letter
symbolizing door.
In chapter 9 of the gospel of John Jesus encounters a man who had been blind since birth which
prompted a question whether his blindness was due to the sin of his parents or his own sin.
Jesus replies, neither but that the works of God might be revealed in him. (John 9:3) Jesus
performs the steps to heal the mans blind eyes, then in chapter 10 declares to His disciples
that He (Jesus) is the door to the sheepfold. To view a doorway to an ancient sheep-fold check
out this web page>> www.bible-history.com/sketches/ancient/sheep-fold.html This is probably
where the angels appeared to the shepherds as mentioned in the Gospel of Luke. In verse 9
Jesus states unequivocally that He is the door to the most revered verse in Torah, the Shma,
implying that He (Jesus) is God Almighty. The Pharisees knew this verse well, they got his
meaning, it is good they were cautious, but due to their prejudice against Him, they refused to
adequately evaluate His words; unfortunately, some Christians, like the Pharisees, reject valid
signs because there is a hint of Bible codes or a Jewish connotation. Jesus is an open door to all
except those with a closed mind. Attention Christians, its time to come out of our doctrinal
foxholes and give Jesus the recognition He is due, whether you are gentile or Jew, He is LORD.
My book:
On April 7, 2009 I had a serious stroke and found myself speaking to
Jesus, it is not my intention to build a platform on which to be
recognized, but to accomplish the charge He gave me, by saying that I
would not sleep but would tell others about Him. Consequently,
I am attempting to write a book. Jesus identified Himself in the
simplest of terms by claiming to be Alef-Tav(ta) however, not only did
the Pharisees attempt to obscure His claim by developing an
impromptu linguistic rule regarding Alef-Tav which they called the
Word unfortunately Christian scholars both ancient and modern have
unwittingly worked in cooperation with the Pharisees by demanding
that Alef-Tav must be rendered in the Greek letters Alpha & Omega,
modern Christian preachers wax eloquently about the first and the last,
the beginning and the end, but when the meaning Jesus intended
explodes in your head, you cant help but exclaim, Oh my God!
Sometimes we, Christians, confuse ignorance with humility. A well-
intentioned book by Irving L. Jensen titled Life of Christ on page 28
states, we cannot fully understand how Jesus is both truly divine and
truly human at the same time. The Bible gives us as much detail as we
require in this regard, however, due to our prejudicial inclinations we
are blind to these details.
After Moses was given the construction plans for the Tabernacle and
the Ark of the covenant God Almighty says to him, And there I will
meet with you and I will speak with you from above the mercy seat
from between the two cherubim which are on the Ark of the
Testimony (Exodus 25:22). you in this case is not just Moses but
plural as Moses would relay the message to the people and later others
most notably Aaron and future High Priests would appear before the
Ark on Yom Kippur in the Holy of Holies for the Redemption of the
people of Israel. Leviticus chapter 16 reveals further details, Tell
Aaron, your brother, not to come at just any time into the Holy Place
inside the veil before the mercy seat which is on the ark lest he die, for I
will appear in the cloud above the mercy seat.(Leviticus 16:2). Perhaps
this was the spark for the idea of the device called a transporter in the
Star Trek television series. In the Holy of holies God materialized like a
hologram just above the Ark witnessed only by the High Priest. There
the High Priest would make atonement for himself, his house, and the
children of Israel. The manifestation of God with whom he would meet
was called in Hebrew Adonai Tzevaot twabc hwhy translated as LORD
of hosts because tzeva is the Hebrew word for hosts but Isaiah also
refers to this manifestation of God as the Redeemer and the Holy
One of Israel.
The Holy of Holies was very close to Bethlehem where the lambs to be
offered were raised. The gospel of Luke relates the story of an Angel
who appears to shepherds in the fields to make a proclamation, For
there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior who is Christ the
Lord(Luke 2:11). There is a subtle issue in this statement, the Angels statement
could make future Christian doctrine less hostile to any specific group especially
the Jews if stated as follows: For there is born to you this day in the city of David
the Redeemer who is Christ the Lord. This is in accordance with the prophet
Isaiah. The Angel Gabriel tells Mary the Holy One who is to be born will be called
the Son of God. (Luke 1:35) the child to be born was first a perfect human
embryo in whom Adonai Tze-va-ot manifested making the child both man and
God. The fact that this is Adonai Tze-va-ot is not a critical need-to-know issue to
most Christians who frankly pay only lip-service to the complete Bible; God will
still be God even if no one recognizes Him, but this information will positively
benefit the Jewish mentality, and could play a supporting role in Pauls prophecy
that All Israel shall be saved. So, all Israel shall be saved. (Romans 11:26)
Ta Alef-Tav the Word, The Direct -Object article vs. The Redeemer
Many,many years before Jesus was on the cross the book of Esther was
composed, in the story Haman builds a gallows upon which he intends
to hang the Jew Mordecai, however the ten sons of Haman were hung
instead. Hamans ten sons are listed, in the list are three small letters
and Alef-Tav after each name which is supposed to be read before each
name but the scribe did it this way, so be it.
Taw atdnvrp t= 400
Taw !pld
Taw atpsa
Taw atvmrp v=300
Taw atzyw z=7
400+300+7=707
During WWII just as on the Gregorian calendar people knew it was the
1900s, so the Hebrew calendar it was in 5000s, so 707 would be added
to 5000 to get year 5707 which equates to 1946 on the Gregorian
calendar. In 1946 two things happened:
1. The Nuremburg trial was held which resulted in ten Nazis being
hung.
2. The Academy of the Hebrew language in Israel published its first
English-Hebrew dictionary, in that book they rendered the phrase
One another as hz ta hz zeh et zeh a picture of the three
crosses on Calvary, two thieves with Jesus in the middle. In fact
the way to make the relationship between any two people to
flourish is by putting Jesus in the center. The members of the
committee would probably have found this to be revolting, so I
suggest that the Spirit of Jesus had to have had an influence.
Jesus carried the two beams of the cross to Calvary for you and me. On
the beams of this cross were His two commandments, but they were
not complete until 1946, two thousand years after He was nailed to it,
Id say only God can do that. Whats your opinion?
The nation of Israel was established roughly in the same time after the
cross as Abram was called to the promised land before the cross, as
Abram walked God sent Jonah to Nineveh, there the library of
Assurbanipal contained the wicked works of the Code of Hammurabi
and the Epic of Gilgamesh which were leading many into a growing
pantheon of gods with their accompanied untrue doctrines of error.
Unfortunately, as the descendants of Abraham grew in number some of
them joined the dark side to create religions like Zoroastrianism which
emphasized light vs. darkness in Persia. So, by the time of Jesus the
Pharisees had good rationale to be cautious of accepting any old idea,
but all they needed to do was consult scripture while allowing the Holy
Spirit to be their guide, but personal preferences and opinions blinded
them. Sounds like a growing number of Christian churches today, right?
Okay, ya got me. I have to keep myself in check also, and I am well
aware of the God I follow.
The personality of God that manifested in Jesus was the God exclusively
of the Jews and made His preference clear when He appeared to Joshua
at the river Jordan shortly after Joshua assumed command from Moses.
Adonai Tzevaot resided just above the Mercy seat between the
cherubim on the Ark of the covenant. Joshua commanded the priests
to carry the Ark through the river Jordan and as they did so the waters
of the river were cut off and stacked up as had happened at the
crossing of the Red Sea creating a dry path for the people to cross over
after the people had crossed over the priests deposited the Ark of the
covenant on the opposite bank of the river then Joshua crossed to
discover an impressive military man with a drawn sword(Joshua 5:13-
15). The only rational explanation for this person is that He was Adonai
Tzevaot who had stepped down from the Mercy to meet Joshua
because He gives Joshua the unusual battle plan for Jericho which when
carried out causes the walls of Jericho to fall down so the children of
Israel could merely walk over them. The book of Numbers chapter 22
reports that a short distance inland from the river Jericho. Balak, the
king of Moab, was worried sick that the children of Israel would wipe
them out as an ox licks up grass, so he summoned Balaam to pronounce
curses against Israel, but when Balaam arrives his donkey abruptly stops
and Balaam responds by hitting the donkey. Balaam does not consider
it to be unusual when his donkey talks to him to reveal that an Angel of
the LORD with a drawn sword was standing in the way. It is obvious this
is the same personality who appeared to Joshua just a short distance
away at the river Jordan and was there on behalf of Israel. This is also
the same personality who materialized in the embryonic Jesus He is
pro-Israel yet Israel has treated Him irreverently and irrationally.
Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, no one will see the Father
except through Him. When you love God this is not a threat or a
statement of intolerance, but a promise that you will know the quality
and character of the people with whom you will spend eternity.
