I so love the “ I am” Jesus referred Himself in the Bible. “I am the one who is, who always was, and who is still to come-the Almighty One.” Rev 22:13 “I am the Alpha and the Omega-the beginning and the end,” says the Lord God. And in Revelation 22:13, the final chapter of the entire Bible, Jesus Christ Himself finally revealed that He is the Alpha and Omega! “I am the one who is, who always was, and who is still to come-the Almighty One.” Lord God declared Himself to the the Alpha and the Omega-the beginning and the end. In Revelation 1:8, “I am the Alpha and the Omega-the beginning and the end,” says the Lord God. The verse then could be read as: “ They will look on ME (Aleph Tav), whom they have pierced…” Again, no translation of Aleph Tav will make sense.īut the light finally came on in New Testament times and the veil was finally removed. Zechariah 12:10 The me whom they have pierced, between me and whom, Aleph Tav appears. They will grieve bitterly for him as for a firstborn son who has died. They will look on me whom they have pierced and mourn for him as for an only son.
In another example, Zechariah’s prophecy on the future deliverance for Jerusalem “Then I will pour out a spirit of grace and prayer on the family of David and on the people of Jerusalem. It simply cannot be translated because it is like AZ in the middle of the sentence. Highlighted in the middle when God was refered to, elohim et, aleph tav ( ) was followed behind, and was untranslated. ” However, in the original Hebrew, it reads as:
For ages during Old Testament times, people and even scholars were stumped and were clueless by presence of “Aleph Tav”.įor example, the very first verse in the Bible in Genesis 1.1, it is generally translated as: “ In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. However, it was strangely peppered throughout the Bible.
So what does Aleph Tav means or stands for?Īctually, Aleph Tav does not mean anything in particular in the ordinary sense. Not many people recognizes Hebrew, much less knows the real meaning of Aleph Tav, the first letter and last letter of the Hebrew alphabet In English, Aleph Tav would be like letter A and Z or Alpha and Omega in ancient Greek. Two Sundays ago, I saw a car bumper sticker with “Aleph Tav” characters on the back car bumper on my way to church.
