- Section 1: How we got the Bible
Primary metaphor
The nun נ represents the Son of Man. It looks similar to the kaf כ representing the Son of God, but has shorter horizontals. Jesus is both the Son of Man and Son of God. They are titles which express different aspects of his nature.
Jesus was fully God and fully man. The longer horizontals of the kaf כ express this. But Jesus 'emptied' himself of his divine nature. The kenosis does not express that he ceased to be God, but that he 'closed his eyes' to his divine nature, choosing not to use his omnipotence, omniscience, omnipresence. Just as we do not become blind when we close our eyes, he did not cease to be God. The nun נ has a shorter upper horizontal than the kaf כ to represent this self-limitation.
Also, Jesus did not take advantage of all the things that men do. He did not marry, have children, have a career, etc. He limited himself in the flesh as well. This is represented by the shorter lower horizontal.
Though we say that the nun נ represents the Son of Man, the Jews use it as a symbol for the Messiah.
Face pani פני
Pani Is first used in Ge 1:2 for face. [1] It means before (as in front of), face, presence, and countenance. It is that thing which is seen and is representative of the whole which is not seen. As a metaphor, it is reputation.
By the letters pani פני is "The riddle" pei פ "of the Son of Man" nun נ "as the new creation" yod י. This speaks of the mystery which has been hidden from the beginning. [2] The face of God IS the Son of Man. No man has even seen the father. [3] But it is the son who makes him known. Jesus is the firstfruits of creation, [4]
Second, scarlet sheniy שני
'Sheniy' שני means both 'second' and 'scarlet'. When Zarah breached first, a scarlet thread was tied on his hand. [5] The first son though verbally was declared to be the first son, he was declared to be second by the the scarlet thread. [6]
Scarlet and red are related colors representing sin. [7] They are two aspects of the same subject: sin.
Esau was red when he was born as Isaac's first son. [8] Yet he was declared to be second when Isaac was given the blessing of his father.
He declared himself to be second again when he chose the red pottage. [9]
By the letters, sheniy שני represents the Holy Spirit shin ש, the Son of man nun נ, and a new creation yod י as Christ; the firstfruits of creation.[10] The Holy Spirit joined the Son of Man at his baptism, was separated at the cross, and reunited in resurrection in the new creation; one in which God is married to the flesh. He made himself second, by first loving us. [11] In the transaction he bore our scarlet sin on the cross. [12]
