Section 1: How we got the Bible

Part 1.1: God invented an alphabet

Chapter 1.1.22 Lamed ל

Primary metaphor

As the Lamed ל descends from above the Square Text Template, it indicates that it touches the very heart of God, not merely what canbe known about him. The horizontal line is drawn below the upper horizontal of the template indicating that what can be known about man has condescended in order to be understood. The lower portion is the Son of God as in the qof ק indicating a spiritual separation from the Father. Traditionally it is known as the shared heart. The heart of God is teaching to correct the understanding of his sheep as they hear, but do not understand his words.

'God' Elohim אלהים

By the letters Elohim אלהים is After 'he spoke and created the heavens and the earth' aleph א 'he shared his heart in teaching' lamed ל but 'but was not understood' hei ה 'what he intended to do' yod י 'was completed by the son in the flesh' final mem ם.

The doctrine derived from the letter-by-letter interpretation is that God desired for his creation to know him, and teaching alone was insufficient. The work had to be completed by the work of Christ in the flesh (upon the cross).
