~~The metaphor of each~~ Each letter is a metaphor for a big idea. All that God created, all that we can think or say is contained in twenty-seven of the twenty-eight letters. It is a mistake to think that a letter represents a word rather than an idea. There is not a simple decoder ring. You must learn to think in metaphor.

If I say "he met his Waterloo", it is a reference to Napolean's defeat at Waterloo. In the most simplistic way, it simply refers to a defeat. But understanding it in the most simple way loses much of the rich idea that is being communicated. Napolean was overconfident, he was ill-prepared, and he met an opponent that was not easily scared away by Napolean's reputation. A more subtle reference might be that the supply lines were too long. This is thinking in metaphor. The reference has many ways that it could be expressed or many subtle ideas upon which to focus.

There are primary and secondary ~~metaphor~~metaphors. Distinguishing between them is not a critical skill unless a detailed proof is required. Generally, these detailed proofs will be desired by those in academic pursuits which would be tedious for the rest. Occasionally, when a metaphor is stated in a way which is not immediately recognizable, a brief explanation may be required.

:4. The meaning of the letters and words must always contribute to an understanding of Christ, and him crucified ~~[what about resurrected?]~~ <ref>1Co 2:2 For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.</ref> <ref>Joh 5:39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.</ref>.

You may solve the puzzle using the strokes and building letters, or by reverse engineering over 8000 Hebrew words to the meaning of the letters within.

The full picture is not fully understood until all the pieces are overlaid, though a pretty good picture is formed with a few of the transparencies. Scripture is used this way to point back to the original seeds of an idea; the letters.

Each letter has a fractal expansion to teach us the meaning intended by God. They actually each have several expansions, because ~~each letter expresses several~~ the ideasthey express are very large.

'''Formation''': The ''lamed'' is formed with a vav ו descending from above the upper horizontal. It begins above those things we can understand about God. It begins in the heart of God. Then it uses a smaller form of the altered ''kof'' from the ''qof'' ק where the lower horizontal is bent to descend. In the ''qof'' it descends below the line representing the death of the Son of God. In the ''lamed'' it is a smaller form and does not descent below the line. The horizontal vav in the ''lamed'' is between the upper and lower horizontals of the square template.

The ''lamed'' represents the shared heart of teaching. The subject of the teaching is the altered ''kof'' from the ''qof'' which is the death of the Son of God, or the cross. '''Teaching of the cross'''<ref>1Co 1:18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.</ref>

'''Formation''': Like the ''tet'' ט, the ''mem'' מ joins a ''kof'' כ and a ''zayin'' ז. It joins them at the top of the letter. Like the ''tet'' it also signifies the marriage, but it's focus is on the upper joining. The Father arranged the marriage <ref>Ge 38:6 And Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn, whose name [was] Tamar.</ref> '''Promise of the Father'''

'''Name''': 'water, blemish'. Water is a symbol for the word of God which can bring life or death. As a metaphor, it can express the outcome of the word, which is his people. If ''mem'' is decorated with a symbol to focus on the flesh aspect of the metaphor, the ''ayin'' ע, as מעם , it is 'people'. It contains the idea of a blemish in that the ''mem'' without a creation, or ''yod'' י in it, is the basis for desolation ''shamem'' שמם.

'''Formation''': The ''nun'' נ is a ''kof'' כ with shortened horizontals <ref>The Son of God who 'emptied' himself Php 2:7 </ref>, or a ''vav'' ו with a lower ''yod'' י added <ref>The Word ו which became flesh י</ref>, or as an ''aleph'' א which has been scrunched to have the ''yod'' 's on the top and bottom of the ''vav''. It represents the '''Son of Man'''.

'''Name''': ''Nun'' means 'fish, posterity, propagator'. 'Posterity' and 'propagator are derived from the scrunched ''aleph''. 'Fish' are a metaphor for 'every word which proceeds from the mouth of God' <ref>Mt 4:4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.</ref>. Jesus is 'THE WORD' and is represented by a fish. We are the completed works of his word, and are another side of the metaphor.

'''Formation''': The ''samech'' ס is formed like the ''tet'' ט and ''mem'' מ by joining a ''kof'' כ and ''zayin'' ז. This time they are joined at the top and bottom as is the final mem ם. The ''samech'' has rounded corners signifying 'more' than the square corners of the final mem. The samech suggests the promise of the Father was fulfilled fully. The final mem speaks about it being fulfilled in the flesh. '''Completed the promise of the Father in the spirit''' <ref>Ac 2:33 Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.</ref>

'''Name''': The name ''samech'' סמך means 'support' in fulfillment of the prophecy taht he bride would be a help-meet to the man <ref>Ge 2:18 ¶ And the LORD God said, [It is] not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.</ref>.

'''Formation''':The ''ayin'' ע is a distorted ''nun'' נ with a ''zayin'' ז pulling the lower horizontal off the base. The bride (''zayin'') returns holy, while the Son of God ( lower horizontal ) gets pulled to the earth (made to be sin).'''Exchange of sin for righteousness''' <ref>2Co 5:21 For he hath made him [to be] sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.</ref>

'''Formation''': the ''pe'' פ is formed as a ''kof'' כ with a dangling ''yod'' י off the left upper arm. There is an invisible ''yod'' hidden inside the letter. The Son of God speaks of hidden things (the hidden yod) using visible things (the visible yod). He speaks in riddle, parable and metaphor. ''Pe'' represents the Prophet. '''Spoke in parable, metaphor, prophecy, riddle''' <ref>Ps 49:4 I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my dark saying upon the harp.</ref>

'''Name''': ''Pe'' means 'eye, answer'. The eye is the window to the hidden soul <ref>Mt 6:22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.</ref>. When the prophet enquires of the Lord, God 'answers' <ref>Jer 42:4 Then Jeremiah the prophet said unto them, I have heard [you]; behold, I will pray unto the LORD your God according to your words; and it shall come to pass, [that] whatsoever thing the LORD shall answer you, I will declare [it] unto you; I will keep nothing back from you.</ref>.

'''Formation''': The ''tsadi'' is like the ''ayin'' beginning with an elongated 'nun'. This time it has the 'burden of love'; a ''vav'' pushing it down from the right, signifying that His love for us led him to the cross <ref>Joh 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.</ref>.'''He died for us''' <ref>Ro 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.</ref>

'''Name''': ''Tsadi'' צדי means 'side, provision'. The prophetic prophecy speaks about Gethsemane as the limping side, Christ's willingness to put aside his own self-preservation instincts in order to die. He was the provision god made for us for sin. When a ''qof'' ק is added the the end, the word ''tsadik'' means righteous one. The ''qof'' adds the idea of his death and resurrection.

'''Formation''': The ''qof'' ק is formed as a bent ''kof'' כ. The lower arm bends down, pointing to death, signifying the death of the Son of God. The Left side has a ''vav'' ו originating below the lower horizontal, or 'in the grave' and rising from the dead. '''He rose from the dead'''

'''Name''': The word ''qof'' קפ means 'encompass' and comes from the idea that the cross ק is the mystery hidden from the beginning פ <ref>Eph 3:9 And to make all [men] see what [is] the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:</ref>. The mystery is in all things <ref>Ro 1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, [even] his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:</ref>

'''Formation''': The ''rosh'' is formed with a horizontal and a vertical ''vav'' joined with a curve. That which can be known about God (horizontal) is made known (vertical) in such a way you can ask questions (rounded corner).'''Revelation'''

'''Formation''': The ''shin'' is formed by a ''vav'' ו or the word coming to earth, then returning to God (the left ''zayin '' ז) with an increase (the small ''zayin'' off of the left one). It can represent the Spirit which gives life to the bride, or the man and wife returning to the Lord. '''word returned with an increase'''

'''Name''': ''Shin'' שן means 'tooth, ivory' and is a symbol for judgement. The spirit which gives life to the bride is also represented by fire which purifies and destroys.

'''Formation''': The ''tov'' is formed as a ''rosh'' ר representing a revelation which is completed by the ''vav'' springing to life an returning to God on the left side. The purpose of revelation is to give life to man. '''completed his work'''

'''Name''': ''Tov'' means 'mark,record'. As the last letter of the alphabet, it represents the end, or reputation; the final record.

'''Formation''': The final ''kof'' ך retains it's meaning as a ''kof'' כ and derives newmeaning from the changes to the ''kof'' כ. The upper corner becomes a right angle, saying that what happened to the Son of God happened according to the law, or in the flesh. The lower arm is bent to penetrate below the lower horizontal, signifying that he died. '''The Son of God died in the flesh according to the law.'''

'''Formation''': The final ''mem'' retains it's meaning of the ''mem''; the promise of the Father, but it is now connected at the bottom as well, saying the final state of the promise is that the son fulfilled it. I believe that since the final ''kof'' and final ''mem'' both represent the Son of God, that the final forms should be read together. 'The Son of God died fulfilling the promise of the Father. The final state is not the death of the Son of God, but '''the promise fulfilled, once for all'''.<ref>Ro 6:10 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.</ref>

'''Formation''': the final ''nun'' retains it's meaning as the Son of Man and the lower arm pointed down signifies his death. The Son of Man title is understood to refer to Jesus in the flesh, having emptied himself of his divine prerogative; choosing not to use his divinity. In resurrection he took up his former glory. The title 'Son of Man' no longer applies.'''Christ raised in Glory''' <ref>Joh 19:30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.</ref>

'''Formation''': The final ''pe'' retains it's meaning as the prophet. the lower arm pointed down signifies his death. The prophet died, meaning that '''all prophecy is fulfilled.''' <ref>Joh 19:30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.</ref>

'''Formation''': The final ''tsadi'' retains it's meaning as the righteous judge. ~~THe~~ The lower arm pointing down signifies his death. When the judge died, '''judgement was ended''' <ref>Ro 8:1 ¶ [There is] therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.</ref>.

'''~~Name~~Formation''': The final ''shin'' is formed as a ''shin'' ש with an extra ''zayin'' ז returning. It has a value of 1000 which is a metaphor for 'king'. We return as '''~~Formation~~joint heirs of Christ'''<ref>Ro 8:17 ¶ And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with [him], that we may be also glorified together.</ref>.
