Hebrew Quest #11 ✡ Philosophy 10: Life | Shin & Tav | History 5: Aramaic NT
1h 33m
Alephbet 10: Resurrection (5 minutes, starts 00:00)
The sages of ancient Israel believed that behind every letter of the Torah was the power to raise the dead, if taught in the right spirit. Do we see this concept reflected anywhere in the Apostolic Scriptures? Yes, in three places! Let's talk about how to make your Hebrew studies experiences that are life-giving down to the very letter.
Shin (36 minutes, starts 4:36)
When is sin not bad? When it's this letter! How does the "fire" letter symbolize the cloven tongues of fire on Pentecost, and how does it picture the Father, Son, and Spirit? Why do Jews put a regular Shin on their mezuzahs and a special four-headed Shin on their phylacteries? And why is the enlarged Shin at the beginning of the Song of Songs so romantic?
Tav (34 minutes, starts 40:34)
Why does the "truth" letter have two feet when the three "lying" letters going before it each have one foot? Have you ever seen how the letters for "truth" are encoded in Genesis? Is it an accident that the original form of this letter was a cross? Why did Yeshua say he's the Aleph and the...this letter? And how does the Tav explain that Messiah didn't become sin, but rather a sin offering?
Hebrew History 5: New Testament Primacy 2 (19 minutes, starts 1:14:33)
