The normal mem מ is formed by joining two letters at the top: the kaf כ, representing the Son of God, and the zayin ז, representing the bride.
The significance is that the Father chose the bride ז for the Son כ. He arranged the marriage. As a metaphor it can represent the Father, or the covenant made with man since the beginning (the promise of the Father).
The Father
John uses the mem מ as 'the Father'. [1] He explains the metaphor of the consonants in heaven 'shamayim' שמים as the Father מ, the Word ר, and the Spirit ש. He does not speak of the in order, but in priority. Nevertheless we know the the shin שrepresents the spirit be cause it 'hovers' over the face of the waters' [2]: The word for heaven ש-מים contains the word for waters מים.
One of the most important choices one can make is the choice of a spouse. How is it that the Son of God permitted his Father to make it for him?
The Father-God is that invisible someone who permeates all. He is like the water to the fish and the air to the bird: We will never see him. The Son-God is the very same God who chose to be made of the same stuff we are so that he could reveal himself and teach us. They are the same God. [3] The Son is the exact representation of the substance of the Father. "I and [my] Father are one.". [4]
