''A '''mnemonic''' device, or memory device, is any learning technique that aids information retention or retrieval in the human memory. ''<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mnemonic</ref>

Dennis Congos <ref>https://www.learningassistance.com/2006/january/mnemonics.html</ref> identifies nine types of mnemonic devices. These devices consist of ideas imposed upon the subject matter to be learned, that have no relationship to the subject, but are merely mental hooks to assist in the retrieval of information from memory. An example is the classic "Roy G. Biv" used to remember the order of colors in the rainbow. In Music theory, "Every good boy does fine" helps remember the notes associated with the lines on the score. The mnemonic devices aid only in memory and add no new information. One must learn gibberish in order to remember the important information.

Imagine if the knowledge of "Roy G. Biv" could assist in helping you to understand more sophisticated concepts of color, rather than simple the order of colors in the rainbow. What if it told you something about how each color affects emotions, or contributes to heat retention. What if "Every good boy does fine" helped to define chords, melody, or to understand music.

:The Hebrew word for 'ground' is ''adamah'' אדמה. <ref group="v">adamah אדמה - ground, ''m.'' flesh</ref>:The ground is where Adam אדמ came from. 'Ground' is the Adam that doesn't understand ה. <ref>The ground or earth is a metaphor for the flesh. The instinctive nature of the flesh does not understand spiritual things. 1Co 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know [them], because they are spiritually discerned.</ref> <ref group="q">Why did Jesus say "Forgive them, they know not what they do."? Lu 23:34 </ref>:The ground doesn't understand, but apparently Adam does. We are told as much later. When Adam sinned, he was not deceived like the woman. <ref>1Ti 2:14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.</ref> <ref group="q">What is the 'sin not unto death'? 1Jo 5:16 </ref>

:Adam אדם <ref>When a mem מ is at the end of a word it is drawn differently, as such ם</ref> is made of the Spirit א and the blood ''dam'' דם. <ref group="v">adam אדמ - Adam, mankind ''f.'' Spirit א and the blood ''dam'' ד</ref>

:Blood ''dam'' דם is the commandment ד fulfilled by the Son ם; a reference to the cross. It is a metaphor for 'life' <ref>Le 17:11 For the life of the flesh [is] in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it [is] the blood [that] maketh an atonement for the soul.</ref> <ref group="v"> dam דם - blood, ''f.'' commandment ד fulfilled by the Son ם ''m.'' life</ref> <ref group="q">How can you discern from the word ''blood'' that life is in the cross?</ref>

The mnemonics for Hebrew contain more information about the subject being learned. You will quickly see that the system of pneumnemonics is not imposed upon the language like common mnemonics, but is observed to already be there.

John is using the pneumnemonics of the words 'heaven' ''shamayim'' שמים <ref group="v">shamayim שמים - heaven, ''f.'' the Spirit ש hovered over the face of the waters מים</ref> and 'earth' ''aretz'' ארץ <ref group="v">artz ארץ - earth, mankind</ref> to derive the doctrine that he is teaching.

The word for water is ''mayim'' מים. <ref group="v"> mayim מים - (two) waters, ''m.'' Word of God</ref> See above that the mems represent the Father (Who is Spirit) and Son (Who is the Truth) <ref>Joh 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.</ref>

The word 'mountain' ''har'' הר means - not understanding ה the revelation ר. <ref group="v">har הר - mountain, ''f.'' not understanding ה the revelation ר</ref> It is the place people worship who do not understand God.

:'''name''' is the meaning of the words when the name of the letter is spelled out (ex. the aleph א has the Hebrew name ''alef'' which is spelled אלף which means one thousand <ref>It has many more meanings like homophones</ref>.

:'''number''' - each letter is also a number. The aleph is the number one. Consider the play in pneumnemonics when it is said that one day is like a 1000 years. The aleph represents 1 by it's number and 1000 by it's name.

Another evidence that pneumnemonics is natural to the language is the message that is derived by reading the letters of the alphabet in numerical order. It is the short catechism of Christ. It not only helps you learn the alphabet, but teaches the doctrine of Christ. It is the Index for God's Systematic Theology, which you will build on as you continue to learn Hebrew words and read scripture.

:Aleph א - God spoke and created the heavens and the earth <ref>the ''aleph'' is is expressed in scripture as a metaphor containing all of these ides: The Spirit between the waters, the firmamnent, war between heaven and earth, separation of Holiness and Love, etc.</ref>

Hebrew words derive their meaning from the shorter words and letters within, as we saw in ''adamah'' for ground. From he ה in the word we understand that things of the ground do not understand spiritual things. The flesh is earthly. Pneumnemonics gives us more than a memory aid, it is foundational to understanding doctrine.

The combination of two letters is called a 'gate'. The word 'father' ''ab'' אב means -- ''after'' God spoke and created the heavens and the earth א he revealed himself to man ב. <ref group="v">ab אב - father, sprout, fruit, ''f.'' after God spoke and created the heavens and the earth א he revealed himself to man ב</ref> If the letters are reversed forming ''ba'' בא, the meaning is reversed.

What is the opposite of 'father'? Go back to the meaning by formation: The father revealed himself to man. He took the initiative to be made known. So the opposite is to make an invitation: ''ba'' means 'come'. <ref group="v"> ba בא - come</ref> In Hebrew, 'ab ba' means 'Father, come'.

Not only do the gates provide more pneumnemonics to aid in learning, but also provides an addition to the Systematic Theology. Man cannot find God on his own. We can find the things of God that he has first taken the initiative in, to make himself known.
