A) LANGUAGES

 

 

Some languages are written in pictures; most in letters.  If you know the alphabet you know how to pronounce a word.  You may not know what the word means, but you know how to pronounce it.  However, in the Hebrew Language, their letters carry with them meanings, not just sounds.  What is interesting is that the Hebrew Language is the only alphabet that does this.  When you learn what I’m going to show you next, you can read about 80% of the Hebrew Language.

 

 

B) THE HEBREW LANGUAGE

 

 

The Hebrew alphabet consists of 22 letters.  The first letter in the Hebrew alphabet is “Aleph.”   Its meaning was indicative of an “ox.”  And the meaning of the letter itself was, “first,” i.e., “first letter.”  And because it was indicative of the “ox,” it suggests “strength,” or a “leader.”

 

The second letter in the Hebrew alphabet is, “Beth.”  If you see it on paper it would look like a little house.  However, when turned it would look like our lower-case “b.”  Now “Beth” means, “house,” or “family.”  An example in the use of “Beth” would be, “Bethlehem,” meaning, “House of bread,” or “Bethel,” meaning, “House of God.”  Now you can see that these letters themselves have a meaning.

 

Jumping to the fifth letter in the Hebrew Language we come to “He,” meaning “breath.”  It is often used in conjunction with the “Holy Spirit.”  An example would be in Genesis, Chapter 17, where we come across “Abram” and “Sari.”  Then God changes the spelling of their names.  Thus, all God did in each of the names was add the “He,” or the “h” into their names, i.e., “Abraham” and “Sarah.”  To notice what God really did with their names is that He added the “breath,” which is the “Spirit of God” into their names!

 

In an interesting fact, all nations’ languages go towards Jerusalem.  All nations East of Jerusalem have their writings composed from right-to-left.  While all nations West of Jerusalem have their writings composed from left-to-right.  English, as an example, is read from left-to-right, while Chinese, although read from bottom to top, is still read from the bottom right to the top left.

 

Now let’s have some fun here.  We know that “God is Love,” First John 4:8 & 16.  If we take the first two letters of the Hebrew Language, “Aleph” and “Beth,” we come up with “Aeb.”  Now we have learned that “Aleph” is the “Leader,” and “Beth” is the “House.”  But Who is the “Leader” of the “House?”  Our Heavenly Father, right?  If we insert “He” in the middle of these two Hebrew letters we come up with “Aheb.”  So what is the Spirit or essence of our Father God?  It is “Aheb” the Hebrew word meaning, “Love.”

 

 

C) THE HEBREW ALPHABET

 

 

Now to get a little more difficult, we must remember that the Hebrew alphabet carries with it meaning and not just phonetics.  And when you understand the alphabet, with the understanding that all Hebrew words have a three-letter root, as exampled above, “Aheb,” and if you know those three letters and the root, you can usually infer what the Hebrew word really means, despite all the grammar.  “Leader,” “House,” “He,” equals, the “Leader of the house” is “Love.”

 

 

D) TO THE GREEK

 

 

Let’s take a little look at the Greek.  There is a little word that is thought to mean and compose certain properties.  That being the word, “Love.”  It is first used in Genesis, Chapter 22, in the Hebrew.  Now there are several different Greekwords used that are translated as, “Love.”  In the New Testament there is, “agapao,” “phileo,” “thelo ethelo,” and “agape.”  Now how do you really decide what a word means?

 

The Book of Revelation has 404 verses in it.  There are over 800 direct references to the Old Testament.  In a side note:  The reason you may not understand the Book of Revelation is because you do not have command of the Old Testament.  In Acts, Chapter Seven, Steven gives a summery and outline of the Old Testament, including giving three new things unrevealed in the Old Testament text.  With these breakdowns from The Book of Revelation and the Book of Acts, we can understand many Greek words and their meanings, because the Greek uses them in the same manner as they are used in the Hebrew text.

 

Continuing on therefore, deciding what a word really means, either Greek or Hebrew or Arabic, you must look up every place that that word appears, especially using the same Biblical author to understand his context and use of the word.  As an example, let’s consider that we are supposed to have the “mind of Christ,” Matthew 22:37.  The Greekword for “mind” is, “dianoia.”  When we think of “mind” here we naturally believe it to mean, “thought process,” “reasoning powers,” etcetera.  But if you look up every place “dianoia” appears, you will discover that Jesus and others are meaning and having to do with “will power.”  In other words, we are to have the “mind” or “will power” of Christ.  Can you now see how more powerful Matthew 22:37 just became by discovering the true meaning of “dianoia,” meaning more than just “mind?”

 

Now back to our word “Love,” or “agapao.”  Most Christians have been raised or taught to believe that this “agapao” is associated with “Divine Love.”  Sounds logical right?  But then you come to verses like John 3:19 which states, “And this is the condemnation, that Light is come into the world, and men loved [agapao] darkness rather than Light. . .”  Wait a minute.  Divine Love is darkness?  What we discover, is that by looking up every place the word “agapao” appears is that it really means, “totally given over to.”  Now let’s read John 3:19 again:  “And this is the condemnation, that Light is come into the world, and men were totally given over to darkness rather than Light.”  And this is what we need if we are to be “agapao,” to God, i.e., in love with God, i.e., “totally given over to” loving God, i.e., “Totally given over to loving God with a Divine form of Love.”
