Hebrew Gives Depth to the New Testament

The study of biblical Hebrew is not only revealing mysteries in the Old Testament but also the New Testament. How can that be, you may ask, when the New Testament was not written in Hebrew but rather in Greek (or Aramaic)? Some will debate this idea but all I can say is that Jesus of Nazareth and His disciples, being average Jewish men of that time, did speak, read, write, and think in Hebrew. Those who by divine inspiration wrote the New Testament were not of the learned elite who communicated in Greek but were of the rural folks who communicated in Hebrew.

How many of us would like to understand the final book of our New Testament, the book of Revelation? Show of hands? Mine's up too. I've found that we cannot fully appreciate or understand this book without applying the Hebrew alphabet to it. I'm not saying the full eschatological, prophetic understanding will come as a result, but great inspiration will come.

The book "The Wisdom in the Hebrew Alphabet" by Rabbi Michael L. Munk was read by evangelical minister J.R. Church and his partner Gary Stearman. In their book "The Mystery of the Menorah and the Hebrew Alphabet" they say, "For countless centuries, Jewish expositors have taught that each of the letters in their alphabet is a reflection of God's creative power. They believe their alphabet is a manifestation of God's essence and that, taken as a whole, it speaks of His attributes."6

Church and Stearman began to apply this concept not only to the Old Testament but to the New. They found it significant in the entire New Testament but especially in the book of Revelation. They discovered that the 22 chapters in Revelation have a relationship to the 22 consonants of the Hebrew alphabet. Each of the 22 chapters of Revelation corresponds perfectly with the symbolic meaning of the Hebrew alphabet! Isn't that awesome?

For example, it's interesting how Revelation chapter 4 connects with the 4th letter d (dahlet). The Hebrew letter dahlet when written looks something like a doorway and dahlet is actually the word for door. This chapter in Revelation talks about the doorway to Heaven where the way has been made for us sinful human beings to be admitted to Shaymayim (Heaven). Our Lord is the doorway to eternity.

Another example is the 12th Hebrew letter, lahmed, that goes with chapter 12 of Revelation. It is the tallest letter of the alphabet and is flanked on each side by the letters kahf and mem.

"The kahf is said to represent God's throne of glory, the mem, God's Kingship. Together the mem, lahmed and kahf [right to left in Hebrew] form the Hebrew wordmelek meaning 'King.' Fascinating! Revelation 12 features the birth of the King" 7 (Rev. 12:1-5).

At the beginning of the book of Revelation, Jesus announced "I am Alpha and Omega . . ." (Rev. 1:8a). At the end of the book, He again announces it: "I am the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last" (Rev. 22:13). Church and Stearman saw the connection clearly - our LORD in essence is the alphabet. In Hebrew it would read "I am the Aleph and the Tav." These are the first and last letters of the Hebrew alphabet. Jesus the Messiah also fulfills the attributes of all the other letters of the alphabet in between.

The very name and meaning of this final book of the Bible is "The Revelation of Jesus Christ." Now even more of His wisdom and fellowship are revealed to us through the Hebrew Aleph-beit. (Aleph and bet are the first two letters of the aleph - beit and are where the name 'alphabet' originated.)

One of the clues guiding Stearman and Church was when they learned that in the time of Jesus and before, the Jews considered their Bible (O.T.) to consist of 22 books. Their commentators even stated that these 22 books corresponded to the 22 consonants of the Hebrew alphabet. (We know that at the beginning of God's revelation to man, the Bible was written without chapters or verses. Now we find that even as these were added later by the scribes, the Holy Spirit was guiding.)

This alphabetic pattern, when applied to the New Testament by J.R. and Gary was found to have the same effect. In their book they say,

". . . We found 27 books, seemingly too many for a match. Too many, that is, until we added the five Hebrew "final letters" to the alphabet. [These are 5 sofit or final form letters khahf - ch, mem - m, nun - n, fey - f, tsahdee - ts] Once again, we found a perfect match! And here too, in the five final letters, we found a special message of finality, or culmination." 8 This gives a mighty conclusion to the entire Bible.

To learn more, I recommend you get a copy of J.R. Church and Gary Stearman's book. You'll also enjoy their monthly magazine "Prophecy in the News."9 They consistently bring in Hebrew meanings to what they teach.

What you are saying is nonsense!

I have studied Hebrew both formally and informally and the root meanings of most of the Hebrew alphabet is not in question. And the order of the letters is attested to several times in alphabetical acrostics, such as Psalm 119 and the book of Lamentations.

There is no doubt as to the origin of most of the letters of the Hebrew bible, which originally were pictographs, like the hieroglyphs of Egypt.

I have not read the book mentioned here, but the basic pattern is possible, especially since the 22 chapters of Revelation begin and end with the declaration that Jesus is the "Alpha and Omega", which is to say, He is everything including the letters in between.

So why be surprised, then, if some or all of the other letters might match as well?

[Shekel]

Here is a quote from Gills commentary, the first random commentary I found. This commentary is a quite old.

===============

Rev 1:8 - I am Alpha and Omega,.... These are the words of Christ himself, appearing at once, and confirming what John had said of him, concerning his person, offices, and future coming: Alpha is the first letter, and Omega the last in the Greek alphabet, and signifies that Christ is the first and the last, as it is interpreted in Rev_1:11, and is a character often given to the divine Being in prophetic writings; see Isa_41:4; and is no small proof of the proper deity of Christ. Alpha is used by the Jews for the chief of persons or things,

"Macmas and Mezonicha (names of places) are אלפא לסלת, "Alpha for fine flour";

that is, the best fine flour is there, they are the chief places for it: and again,

"Tekoah is אלפא לשמן, "Alpha for oil",

or the chief place for oil; the best oil was to be had there (s): so Christ, he is the Alpha, the chief as to his divine nature, being God over all, blessed for ever; and in his divine sonship, none, angels or men, are in such sense the Son of God as he is; and in all his offices, of prophet, priest, and King; he is the prophet, the great prophet of the church, never man spake like him, or taught as he did; he is the most excellent priest, that exceeds Aaron and all his sons, having an unchangeable priesthood; and he is the King of kings, and Lord of lords; he has the chief place in the church, he is the head of it, and has in all things the preeminence; he is the chief in honour and dignity, is at the right hand of God, and has a name above every name: he also in some sense may be said to be the Omega, the last and the lowest; as in his state of humiliation, he was not only made lower than the angels, but than man; he was despised and rejected of men, and scarcely reckoned a man, a worm, and no man; and he humbled himself, and became obedient to death, even the death of the cross.

Moreover, these letters, Alpha and Omega, being the first and the last in the alphabet, may stand for the whole; and it seems to be a proverbial expression taken from the Jews, who use the phrase, from Aleph to Tau, for the whole of any thing, which two letters in the Hebrew alphabet stand in the same place as these; accordingly the Syriac version renders it Olaph and Tau; and the Arabic version Aleph and Ye.

It is said in Eze_9:6, "begin at my sanctuary",

"R. Joseph taught, do not read "my sanctuary", but "sanctified ones", these are the children of men who confirm "the whole law", מאלף ועד תיו, "from Aleph to Tau";

the same as from Alpha to Omega, or from one end to the other: and a little after,

"says R. Levi, Tau is the end of the seal of the holy blessed God, for says R. Chanina, the seal of the holy blessed God is אמת, "truth": says R. Samuel bar Nachmani, these are the children of men who confirm the whole law "from Aleph to Tau" (t).

So Christ, he is the Alpha and Omega, the first and last, the chief, the whole of things; as of the covenant of grace, he is the first and last of it, he is the Mediator, surety, and messenger of it, and the ratifier and confirmer of it, he is the covenant itself, all its blessings and promises are in him; he is the sum and substance of the Scriptures, both of the law and of the Gospel; he is the fulfilling end of the law, and he is the subject matter of the Gospel; he stands in the first verse in Genesis, and in the last of the Revelation; he is the Alpha and Omega, the first and last, the whole and all in the business of salvation, in the affair of justification before God, in the sanctification of his people, in their adoption, and eternal glorification; he stands first and last in the book of God's purposes and decrees, in the book of the covenant, in the book of the creatures, or creation, being the first cause, and last end of all things, in the book of Providence, and in the book of the Scriptures: likewise, as these two letters include all the rest, this phrase may be expressive of the perfection of Christ, who as God has the fulness of the Godhead, all the perfections of the divine nature in him; and, as man, is in all things made like unto his brethren; and, as Mediator, has all fulness of power, wisdom, grace, and righteousness in him, in whom all the saints are complete; and this may also denote his eternity, he having none before him, nor any after him; and which also is signified by some other following expressions:

the beginning and the ending; the Alexandrian copy, the Complutensian edition, the Syriac and Ethiopic versions, leave out this; which seems to be explanative of the former clause, Alpha being the beginning of the alphabet, and Omega the ending of it; and properly belongs to Christ, who knows no beginning, nor will he have any end with respect to time, being from everlasting to everlasting; and agrees with him as the first cause of all things, both of the old and new creation, and the last end to which they are all referred, being made for his pleasure, honour, and glory: these things now

saith the Lord; that is, the Lord Jesus Christ; the Alexandrian copy, the Complutensian edition, and the Vulgate Latin, Syriac, and Arabic versions, read, "the Lord God"; and the Ethiopic version only God:

which is, and which was, and which is to come; who is God over all, "was" God from all eternity, and is to come as such; which he will show by: his omniscience and omnipotence, displayed in the judgment of the world: who "is" now a Saviour of all that come to God by him; "was" so under the Old Testament dispensation, being the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world; and "is to come", as such, and shall appear a second time unto salvation to them that look for him: particularly this phrase is expressive of the eternity of Christ, who is, was, and ever will be; and of his immutability, who is the same he was, and will be for ever the same he is, and was, unchangeable in his person, in his love, and in the virtue of his blood, righteousness, and sacrifice; he is the same today, yesterday, and for ever. This same phrase is used of God the Father in Rev_1:4; and is a further proof of the deity of Christ; and which is still more confirmed by the following character,

the Almighty; as he appears to be, by creating all things but of nothing; by upholding all creatures in their beings; by the miracles he wrought on earth; by the resurrection of himself from the dead; by obtaining eternal redemption for his people; and by his having the care and government of them upon him, whom he keeps, upholds, bears, and carries to the end, through all their infirmities, afflictions, temptations, and trials,

(s) Misn. Menachot, c. 8. sect. 1. 3. & Bartenora in ib. So Alpha penulatorum, "the chief of beggars", in Martial, l. 50. 2. Ep. 57. (t) T. Bab. Sabbat, fol. 55. 1. & Avoda Zara, fol. 4. 1. Echa Rabbati, fol. 52. 1. Baal Hatturim in Deut. xxxiii. 21. & Raziel, fol. 9. & 12. & Yalkut Simeoni, par. 2. fol. 70. 1, 2.

Hebrew Gives Depth to the New Testament

The study of biblical Hebrew is not only revealing mysteries in the Old Testament but also the New Testament. How can that be, you may ask, when the New Testament was not written in Hebrew but rather in Greek (or Aramaic)? Some will debate this idea but all I can say is that Jesus of Nazareth and His disciples, being average Jewish men of that time, did speak, read, write, and think in Hebrew. Those who by divine inspiration wrote the New Testament were not of the learned elite who communicated in Greek but were of the rural folks who communicated in Hebrew.

How many of us would like to understand the final book of our New Testament, the book of Revelation? Show of hands? Mine's up too. I've found that we cannot fully appreciate or understand this book without applying the Hebrew alphabet to it. I'm not saying the full eschatological, prophetic understanding will come as a result, but great inspiration will come.

The book "The Wisdom in the Hebrew Alphabet" by Rabbi Michael L. Munk was read by evangelical minister J.R. Church and his partner Gary Stearman. In their book "The Mystery of the Menorah and the Hebrew Alphabet" they say, "For countless centuries, Jewish expositors have taught that each of the letters in their alphabet is a reflection of God's creative power. They believe their alphabet is a manifestation of God's essence and that, taken as a whole, it speaks of His attributes."6

Church and Stearman began to apply this concept not only to the Old Testament but to the New. They found it significant in the entire New Testament but especially in the book of Revelation. They discovered that the 22 chapters in Revelation have a relationship to the 22 consonants of the Hebrew alphabet. Each of the 22 chapters of Revelation corresponds perfectly with the symbolic meaning of the Hebrew alphabet! Isn't that awesome?

For example, it's interesting how Revelation chapter 4 connects with the 4th letter d (dahlet). The Hebrew letter dahlet when written looks something like a doorway and dahlet is actually the word for door. This chapter in Revelation talks about the doorway to Heaven where the way has been made for us sinful human beings to be admitted to Shaymayim (Heaven). Our Lord is the doorway to eternity.

Another example is the 12th Hebrew letter, lahmed, that goes with chapter 12 of Revelation. It is the tallest letter of the alphabet and is flanked on each side by the letters kahf and mem.

"The kahf is said to represent God's throne of glory, the mem, God's Kingship. Together the mem, lahmed and kahf [right to left in Hebrew] form the Hebrew wordmelek meaning 'King.' Fascinating! Revelation 12 features the birth of the King" 7 (Rev. 12:1-5).

At the beginning of the book of Revelation, Jesus announced "I am Alpha and Omega . . ." (Rev. 1:8a). At the end of the book, He again announces it: "I am the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last" (Rev. 22:13). Church and Stearman saw the connection clearly - our LORD in essence is the alphabet. In Hebrew it would read "I am the Aleph and the Tav." These are the first and last letters of the Hebrew alphabet. Jesus the Messiah also fulfills the attributes of all the other letters of the alphabet in between.

One of the clues guiding Stearman and Church was when they learned that in the time of Jesus and before, the Jews considered their Bible (O.T.) to consist of 22 books. Their commentators even stated that these 22 books corresponded to the 22 consonants of the Hebrew alphabet. (We know that at the beginning of God's revelation to man, the Bible was written without chapters or verses. Now we find that even as these were added later by the scribes, the Holy Spirit was guiding.)

This alphabetic pattern, when applied to the New Testament by J.R. and Gary was found to have the same effect. In their book they say,

". . . We found 27 books, seemingly too many for a match. Too many, that is, until we added the five Hebrew "final letters" to the alphabet. [These are 5 sofit or final form letters khahf - ch, mem - m, nun - n, fey - f, tsahdee - ts] Once again, we found a perfect match! And here too, in the five final letters, we found a special message of finality, or culmination." 8 This gives a mighty conclusion to the entire Bible.

To learn more, I recommend you get a copy of J.R. Church and Gary Stearman's book. You'll also enjoy their monthly magazine "Prophecy in the News."9 They consistently bring in Hebrew meanings to what they teach.

It is all nonsense. In all truth they don't know anything about the ancient Hebrew language as it was lost and reconstructed by the masoretes of 900 to 1000 AD.

You have misunderstood my position on this. There are no credible ancient Hebrew texts and even the dead sea scrolls are subject to the teaching of the masoretes of 900 to 1000 AD, to even understand them. If you study ancient Hebrew today you are studying from a antichrist source. The Bibles that you read today are translated from the Byzantine, and Alexandrian texts which are much older than any Hebrew texts.
