Alephbet 7: Chromosomes (2 minutes, starts 00:00)
In our previous alephbet discussion we discovered the chilling parallels between the atomic elements upon which the universe is built and the Hebrew letters upon which the Tanach is built. Now let's look at the chromosomes upon which the human body is built, discover yet more incredible parallels with the Hebrew letters, and contemplate what that means for the spiritual body of Messiah.
Ayin (26 minutes, starts 1:40)
What does the "eye" letter say about why you need vision, how to get it, and how it can destroy you? How can you live with one eye in this world and one in the world to come, and what are the Hebrew terms for those future eras? Why should you read prophecy literally, and where did allegory come from? And why doesn't Revelation give any details about what the 1000 year reign of Christ will look like?!
Peh (11 minutes, starts 27:20)
How can listening to the "mouth" letter keep you from sticking your foot in your mouth? How does its relationship to the "eye" letter teach you to look before speaking and check your sources? Did you know James used this letter as a pun in his epistle but it only makes sense in Hebrew? How did its gematria foretell that Moses would be sent at age 80 and that Messiah would start his ministry at 30?
Tzaddi (26 minutes, starts 38:14)
If you can say "pizza" then you can say this letter. How can the "hook" letter help you become more attractive, like Yeshua who was the "friend of sinners" and said he'd draw all people to himself? Is Jewish spirituality right in saying that you can connect to God through connecting to a "tzaddik", a righteous person with a deep connection to God? Is Messiah our "tzaddik"?
Why Hebrew 4: Restoration (15 minutes, starts 1:04:23)
There's only one verse in the Hebrew Bible that has every letter in it and it will shock you to see where it is in relation to the verse where God says he'll restore the "pure language"! If the descendants of the first church of Jerusalem were fluent in Hebrew as history informs us, could the "restoration" prophesied by Messiah and his emissaries include a Hebrew renaissance too?
Hebrew History 4: Yeshua's Movement (17 minutes, starts 1:18:57)
Christ read the Bible and prayed in Hebrew, and greeted his disciples with "shalom aleichem" after his resurrection. How about Paul, was he a Hebrew or a Hellenist? Why did Luke point out that Yeshua spoke to Saul in Hebrew on the Damascus road, or that Paul addressed the Jerusalem mob in Hebrew? And what did Epiphanius say centuries later about the "sect of the Nazarenes"?
