The Esoteric Bible - 003
The name יהוה Yahweh has two ה heis with the first two letters of creation interwoven. He created the letters before he spoke the words which he used to create. But when he ordered the alphabet, he put the א alef and the ב bet as the first two letters, spelling אב father.
א aleph
The א aleph is a ו vav with two י yods. The vav says that God spoke, and the yods say he created two things, the heavens and the earth. The א alef is a silent letter, indicating he created the heavens and the earth when there was no one to hear him.
The alef can also represent God who created by speaking, or the creation which was formed by speaking. It also represents the discerning, separating or joining of two things. The heavens and the earth were separated by the word, but also connected to each other as the firmament joined them on the single face (also a metaphor of א alef). The gospel of Thomas uses it to represent war. It is included in metaphor of א as the separation of two nations. John uses is as the Spirit which hovered over the waters. (1 Joh 5:8).
ב bet
The ב bet is a ר resh which intersects a horizontal line. Each stroke of the letter within the square text template is a metaphor. The upper horizontal represents those things which can be known about God, and the lower horizontal represents the things which are earthly. The right vertical is a ו vav speaking to man. The left vertical is a ז zayin returning to God. An intersection that is at right angles represents a receipt, but a rounded intersection is a transfer of personality.
- The ד dalet is right angle. It is a declaration, or a word. The ר resh is rounded. It is the revelation of the person of God. It is the Word. Some font's don't accurately represent the intersections. TimesRoman work well.
Back to the ב bet. it is translated 'in' as a prefix to words. The ר resh, the Word has come to man. God is 'in' the world.
יהוה אהבה Yahweh ahabah
יהוה אהבה Yahweh ahabah is the God of love. His second most important attribute, revealed through the morphing of his name is that God is Love. (1Jo 4:8)
Though it is not used in scripture, יהוה אהבה expresses the number two, and the two attributes of God which are the second layer of the fractal.
All the rest of the scriptures express the unity of God. The basic duality of God; the universal duality is not good vs. evil, but holiness ( an expression of divine sovereignty) and love (also an expression of sovereignty).
The reason that God chose to reveal himself through the duality, is because we do not understand either, if holiness (justice - another expression of holiness) and grace (an expression of love) are mixed up.
If a judge lets a criminal go free, we say there is no justice. If we don't get to go free, we say there is no grace. All the silly laws against mixing various things are just learning aids to teach us that we can't mix law and grace. Only Christ could do that at the cross in order to bring the duality back into unity and show the character of God as both attributes perfectly mixed.
One of the sayings that represents God's love best is "The first shall be last, and the last shall be first." God who is first, placed man first at the cross as he bore man's sin, revealing the depth of his love. Our response is to put him back in first place.
From the top down
- The number one is God's sovereignty which is expressed everywhere in the Bible.
- The number two is the Holy/Love duality which is the essence of everything that appears in pairs within scripture.
Next we will look at three and the three primary physical divisions within the Bible. The literal Bible is divided into two parts:
- The Old Testament or Jewish Bible - represents God's Holiness through the law.
- The New Testament - represents God's Love through the cross.
The hidden Bible has three parts since the Old Testament is divided in two. The hidden Bible was written by three authors, and we can discern personality differences between them.
