Introduction
The Omnipresence of God, the Formless Creator, is within us and all around us,
seemingly impersonal yet profoundly intimate. The Rays of Light and Love of the
Invisible Creator shine within and upon everyone equally, much the same as the sun and
moon cast their light upon all of humanity no matter what path of life they walk.
Humanity dances to the Rainbow Heartbeat of the Sevens of Time, barely
recognizing the Source of Light that shines within and upon each day of the seven
day week, yet feeling the beat and following its rhythm week by week and year after
year throughout the Ages.
The records of humanitys experiences with God, The Holy One, Our Formless Creator
have been passed down through the ages in the Holy Books, yet many people have
interpreted them as rules, regulations, laws and fundamental systems that divide the
world into many religions.
We can transcend the divisions by examining the Holy Books for ourselves and again
find the Omnipresent Creator within and around us shining through each day with a
warmth that outshines the noonday sun.
Of all the Holy Books,The Bible is the most read book in the world. It is for the
beginner as well as the most advanced seeker of hidden treasure, knowledge and
wisdom. Within its pages we find a journey of transformation as we search for clues that
unlock the Mysteries of the Ages.
The beginning reader of the Bible will find a story written much like any other book.
Through its words, sentences (verses), paragraphs, chapters and books we gain insight
into the characters and the story line of the Bible. This is called the plain, simple or
direct meaning.
We can receive a deeper understanding, beyond the simple meaningof the Bible, by
using a concordance to look up the words of the Bible in their original language of
Hebrew and Greek. This is where the similarity between the Bible and other books ends.
The Hebrew Language
Hebrew is unique among all languages in that the very letters that make up the words are
alive with meaning. Each of the 22 letters of the Hebrew Aleph-Beit has a Spiritual
Significance as well as a Numerical Value transforming the Bible into a book written in
a kind of secret code that is hidden in plain sight.
The Hebrew Language and its alphabet are steeped in mystery. It is said that the letters
of the Hebrew Aleph-Beit were used by God to create Human Beings, the Universe and
everything in it.
Aleph is the first letter of the Hebrew Aleph-Beit. Its number is one and it
symbolizes our One Creator. It is also one of the three Mother Letters and is
associated with Mother Earth.
Beit is the second letter of the Hebrew Aleph-Beit. Its number is two and it
symbolizes the House of God.
-
Aleph- Beit = Our Mothers Language of Love, from the House of God, given
to Humanity, binding her children together as they Re-Member Home.
According to legend, the 22 letters of the Hebrew Aleph-Beit support and define the
character of the universe much like DNA gives support and defines the character of
human beings. Is it a co-incidence that there are 22 letters in the Hebrew alphabet and
22 pairs of chromosomes in the human seed? The 22 pairs of encoded letters of DNA
are composed of 22 male chromosomes and 22 female chromosomes which together
define the 44 characteristics of each and every human being.
The sex chromosomes of a father and mother combine to make a single 23rd
chromosome that defines whether the offspring is male or female. In the Hebrew legends
there is a mysterious 23rd letter that has been lost. This twenty third letter is said to
represent the future of humanity, the world to come. When we look at the relationship
of men and women on earth we find that male dominance is the rule of law in almost all
cultures. Is it any wonder that the 23rd letter has been lost.
Paradise
Aleph-Beit
A
seD.r;[Link] is a Hebrew word meaning Paradise, the Abode of the Blessed.
PaRDeS also refers to the four realms of the study of The Bible (Torah). PaRDeS is an
acronym formed from the initials of the following four approaches.
Peshat ( ;P)()- plain, simple or direct meaning.
Remez ( .r)( )- "hints" or the deep (allegoric: hidden or symbolic) meaning
beyond just the literal sense.
Derash ( eD)( )- from Hebrew darash: "inquire" ("seek") - the comparative
(midrashic)meaning, as given through similar occurrences. (Midrash-oral teachings
and legends of the Bible that supplement the meaning of the scriptures-- in a more
broad sense the comparison of similar occurrences in the texts of all The Holy
Books of humanity)
Sod ( s)(( )pronounced with a long O as in 'morning') -"secret" ("mystery") or
the mystical meaning, as given through, the Hebrew Letters, the Kabbalah,
inspiration and revelation. (Kabbalah- ancient wisdom of the Mystical Tree of Life)
(PaRDes from [Link])
Black and White Fire
i
o e
The Hebrew Old Testament Scriptures are
called Torah. In Deuteronomy 3:22,
Torah, the Word of God, is called
(
- [Link]); the Fiery Law. It
is known as the Fiery Law because it is
written Black Fire on White Fire.
In simple terms this means that the Letters on the page are the Black Fire and the
illuminating space between the letters is the White Fire.
- Aleph - Our One Creator. (The First)
- Shin- The Fire of the I Am That I Am, I Am Who I Am (I Am Presence)
- Daled- The Door
- Tav- The Word of God given to humanity for its salvation. (The Last)
-The Fiery Law that opens the Door of the Heart.
Each day Torah is expressed in nature at sunset and at dawn. This is the time when all
creation becomes one. All parts of the earth blend together into black and the sky
around them is illuminated light. The illuminated sky pours Light in between the
architecture of Oneness, illustrating that Torah is with us always. The Torah in Hebrew
is written from right to left much like the way both the Moon and the Sun rise in the East
and set in the West.
Black and White Fire of the Torah co-incides with the universal principle of Tao. The
symbol of Tao (
)in the Light of Torah represents the equal; complementary
opposites of Black Fire and White Fire, Night and Day and The Feminine and Masculine
Principles of our Mother and Father of Heaven.
The Word
In the popular idiom, something that is expressed or analyzed in
its entirety is said to be covered from A to Z or Alpha to
Omega (Wisdom of the Hebrew Alphabet p.34).
Emphasis is expressed in Hebrew by prexing the letter (
to a word. Often, for extra emphasis, the word (
-Hei)
-Et or
is employed in addition to the prex. Comprising the rst and last letter of the AlephBeit.
(Et) alludes to completion and perfection. (Wisdom of the Hebrew Alphabet
p. 34-35).
Rabbi Dov Ber, the Maggid of Mezritch, writes:
It is known in Kabbalistic literature that the letters of the Aleph-Beit were created rst
of all. Thereafter, by use of the letters, the Holy One, Blessed is He, created all the
worlds. This is the hidden meaning of the rst phrase in the Torah, In the beginning
God (Elohim) created
-(Et)- that is, Gods rst act was to create the letters from
( Aleph) to ( Tav)- or (Torah.)(The Wisdom in the Hebrew Alphabet p. 19) The
Torah, The Fiery Law is also translated as The Word.
Shekhinah, who is called
letters from
(Et), comprises the entire alphabet of divine speech, the
( Aleph) to ( Tav). See the Christian parallel in Revelation [Link] I
Am the Alpha and Omega.
(Et), the range of the alphabet, is an appropriate
name for Shekhinah, who is known as both the mystical realm of speech and the Oral
Torah (The Spoken Word). [The Zohar (The Book of Radiance), Pritzker Edition Vol.
One p. 112]
The Letter
- Et comes from the word (
- ot)
which is the Hebrew word for Miracle,
Sign and Wonder.
- Ot is also the Hebrew word for
Letter. In this sense the letters of the
Hebrew Aleph-Beit are Miracles, Signs
and Wonders. Ot is the same word that is
used for the word Sign in the following:
Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign (
-Ot): Behold, the virgin shall
conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel. (Isaiah 7:14)
- ot is composed of Aleph and Tav with the letter ( - Vov) in between
them. Vov is the joiner of Heaven and Earth and as a prefix can be translated as
and. Vov as a noun is a nail, hook or a peg, all of which join things together. The
letter Vov can also mean to impregnate.
(
-Ot) in Isaiah 7:14 says that The Virgin Bride of Heaven, who is on Earth, is
miraculously impregnated by the Groom of Heaven. The Bride and Groom are
joined as One Being and their Son is Immanuel, God with us.
Aleph- the One Creator of Heaven and Earth. Tav- the word of God Given
to humanity for its salvation. Another ancient meaning of Tav is a cross.

The One Creator
of Heaven and Earth
---(
-Ot)
Miracle, Sign

Vov is the sixth letter of the Hebrew alphabet and is associated with the sixth day
of creation and the Soul. This understanding reveals to us that the Letter
(
-Ot) is the Soul of the Word -(
). The Living Letters (
) are
Miracles, Signs and Wonders that are the Soul of the Living Word of God.
Aleph and Tav
In the Hebrew translation of Revelation 1:8 Yeshua makes the following statement
to John:
Elohim
Adonai - n`oom
Tz`vaot.
vasof
Elohey
rosh
oova
veTav Aleph
haya

Anochi
hoo
8.
asher
8. I am Aleph and Tav, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and
which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
Aleph (
) and Tav ( ) , the first and the last, together as ( Et-
) in the
Jewish tradition are also known as Shekhinah, the Bride of the Sabbath.
Yeshua calls himself the bridegroom in (Matthew 9:15, Mark 2:19, Luke 5:34). John
the Baptist says of Yeshua He who has the Bride is the Bridegroom (John
3:29). We can conclude from the previous statements that the Word of God as
Et-
is also known as the Bride and Groom of Heaven and the Bride and
Bride Groom of the Sabbath.
The Chief Cornerstone
The first Sentence of the Hebrew Bible has Seven words revealing to us the heartbeat
of Sevens of Time. We learn that Adonai Elohim, Our One Creator, is The Presence in
the Beginning of Heaven and Earth and from this formless beginning, everything we
know becomes a matter of fact and the fact of matter becomes the greatest mystery
ever to be witnessed by humanity.

As we look over the first sentence of the Bible we discover that The Word (Et-
is said by some to be untranslatable and thus rejected.
Yeshua said to them, Have you never read the scriptures: The stone which the builders
rejected has become the chief cornerstone. This was the Lords doing, and it is marvelous
(miraculous) in our eyes? (Matthew 21:42 and Psalms 118: 22-23)
The First and The Last
The very rst word of Scripture is Beresheet (Genesis 1:1) and the last word is Amen
(Revelation 22:21). Putting these two together we obtain: In the Beginning-Amen

The Lords Prayer Part 6
In Revelation 3:14, Yeshua says to John, These things says the Amen, the Faithful and
True Witness, the Beginning of the Creation of God.
John tell us, In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God, and the
Word was God. (John 1:1)
We have already learned that Et is known as the Bride and Groom of Heaven and the
spoken Word of God. With this knowledge we can view the first sentence of the Bible
with more depth.

Vav is the sixth letter of the Hebrew Aleph-Beit and begins the sixth word of the first
sentence of the Bible is veet (
). The sixth word represents the sixth day of
Creation, the day that humans were created. The word VeET indicates that on the sixth
day the Word, ET joins with earth. The Bride and Groom of Heaven become flesh on
Earth (haaretz). It is also significant that the letter Vav in the word veet is the 22nd
letter in the first sentence of the Bible. This shows us that the 22 letters of the Hebrew
Aleph-Beit were used in the Creation of the First Humans who we know as Adam and Eve.
The letter Vav, (
)the joiner also means to Impregnate and in this case it means the
immaculate conception. That Yeshua, the Groom of Heaven impregnates His Bride
Miriam (Mother Mary) with Himself. Aleph (
Joined.
)- One Creator of Heaven and Earth
That He will be born into the world through his own twin soul and also be nailed (
the cross, (Tav-
) to
). This is how we recognize them. In the Beginning they were the twin
souls, the Bride and Groom of Heaven who first came to Earth as Adam and Eve and their
incarnation was as Miriam and Yeshua. Miriam gave birth to Salvation. Yeshua
last
became the way of Salvation.
It
It is signicant that the rst word of Torah begins with a large
-Beit.
Whenever a word in Torah has a letter of a dierent size, it signies that
another important interpretation must be looked for. (The Inner Meaning
of the Hebrew Letters p.39)
Beit is the second letter of the Hebrew Aleph-Beit. Its number is Two which
represents duality. In Hebrew the letter Beit is spelled
and is the word for:
Temple, House, Home, Birth Place, Family, Inward, Receptacle, On the inside, Within,
Palace, Abode of Light and Darkness (Black and White Fire) (#1004- Strongs
Concordance and [Link])
The dot (
) called dagesh reveals to us that God, Our One Creator,
dwells within.
The two dots standing under the first Beit of the Bible represent woman
and man under-standing that there is One Creator within. The number of Beit is
Two and there are three dots with this first Beit for a that total of five. This
signifies that, The House of God is large enough for all people of all five races of
humanity to enter in and be at Home.
The two dots under the letter Beit in the word Ben combined with the
meaning of the final Nun show us that the soul purpose of the
twinship of woman and man is to walk hand in hand guided by our One Creator
who dwells within.
The Final Nun represents the Feminine Principle rising, the soul rising, heirs to the
throne, and Messiah. In this instance of the first and the last letters of the Bible,
the Feminine principle gives birth to salvation, Immanuel, Messiah, the soul of Humanity,
who overcomes death and ascends to draw all of humanity, the children of God, home
as co-heirs in the Kingdom of Heaven.
Yeshua said, Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In
My Fathers house are many mansions; if it were not so I would have told you. I go to
prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you. I will come again and
receive you to Myself; that where I Am, there you may be also.
The last letter of the first sentence of the Bible is
-Tzadi which
represents the Righteous One and is composed of two letters, Nun and
Yud. The
letter Yud is the Spark of God from which all things are manifest and its number is 10.
The Nun in this form is bent and humbled. Yud touches Nun in the neck, in-stilling in
Tzadi the Compassion of Christ.
There are five letters, Kaf, Mem, Nun, Pei and Tzadi, that have final forms. The first form
is found in the beginning and middle of words. The final form is found at the end of a
word.
The ve letters that have nal forms carry with them the Secret of Redemption. (The
Book of Letters-A Mystical Aleph-Beit- page 66)
The last letter of the first sentence of the Bible is
- Tzadi in its final form telling us
that it is finished by the Righteous One who comes from Beit, the House of God.
Tzadi, as the Righteous One is associated with remembering. Tzadis message to all is to
ReMember our One Creator who dwells within The Temple. Each of Our Souls dwell
within an outer framework, that can be understood as a Temple. Every living thing, and
every Soul, All Matter, is covered by a Framework, a shell, a covering, a Temple.
It is the Tzadi, as Yeshua who gave His Life to remind us that God dwells within each one
of us. The Tzadi, gave His Life as the Hope of Salvation for the Sake of All.
With this thought in mind, we can see that the text or the Living Words held within the
framework of the Bible, can also be understood as a Living Temple.
Because the Bible contains the Living Words, it is a Framework, a shell and covering, as
a Temple.
Tzadi reveals the Path of Understanding and Knowledge and that from the
first to the last, the Bible is:
A Book of Remembrance
An interesting Note:
Ben the first and last letters of the Bible together mean son. If we look up the
word son in the Strongs Concordance we find that the word Ben can also
mean daughter, first born, nation and spark. Ben comes from the prime root word
Banah meaning to build, obtain children, make, repair, set up, surely.
