The Book of Revelation – Study #6
In this week’s study, I pick up in verse 8 “Alpha and Omega”. I go into detail on this phrase
Here are some of my notes from these verses.
Alpha and Omega = i.e. The Alpha and The Omega. These are the first and the last letter is the Greek Alphabet. [Take note not the Hebrew alphabet] It is used to express the eternity of Yahweh!
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: so Yahshua, He is the Alpha, the chief as to His divine nature, being Yahweh over all, blessed for ever; and in His divine Sonship, none, angels or men, are in such sense the Son of Yahweh as He is; and in all His offices, of prophet, priest, and King; He is the prophet, the great prophet of the church [i.e. ek-kelsia], 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 Yahweh, and has a name above every name:
Matthew 25:2 = mo-ros'; dull or stupid. MORONS!
Verse 3 = oil – ‘el'-ah-yon’
So, do we find a similar phrase in the Old Testament? You bet we do! Many times, if you are a regular listener, you will hear me say that Hebrew Word ‘eth’, which is made up of 2 Hebrew letters the Aleph and the Tav. These letters are the first and last of the Hebrew Alphabet.
When you take these 2 letters back to the ancient Hebrew you find something very interesting.
Aleph = is a picture of an ox head and it means strength, strong, power, leader
Tav = is a picture of 2 sticks crossed and it means a sign, covenant seal, mark and cross
The Aleph-Tav is the strength of the covenant of the cross. Only Yahshua Messiah can make that Claim!!!!!!!!!
Allow me to clear up some things before I begin. First of all you will hear me use the words Yahweh and Yahshua Messiah instead of God and Jesus Christ. I found out through the years that the word God may not necessarily mean the same to everyone. For instance, in Freemasonry the number 1 requirement is that you believe in a God. Doesn’t matter what religion you are as long as you believe in a God. I personally like to use these words Yahweh and Yahshua Messiah. To me this puts me in a closer spiritual relationship with our Creator. I am not a so called Messianic Teacher! I come to realize that every time I inhale or exhale I am saying Yahweh. Try saying Yahweh and see if you are not inhaling and exhaling. After all we our created in His image!
My intention is to take this study to a deep level. Deeper than most of you are used to! I am asking no one to agree with me; however I do ask that you check every detail that I present out for yourself.
Don’t end up like those in Hosea 4:6 ‘My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God (Elohim), I will also forget thy children.’
But, be like those in 2Timothy 2:15 ‘Study to shew thyself approved unto God (Yahweh), a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.’
