Hebrew Letter “TAV”: SIGNIFICANCE

SHALOM!

 

IS IT IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND

THE HEBREW ALPHABET LETTER “TAV”?

WHAT DOES THE LETTER “TAV” HAVE TO DO WITH US?

WHY IS THE LETTER “TAV” SO SIGNIFICANT IN THESE END TIMES?

IS IT RELATED TO YAHUSHUA = YAH’S SALVATION?

Remember that our BIBLES were translated from HEBREW to GREEK to LATIN to ENGLISH. A lot of Greek / Latin was adopted and used in our BIBLES.

 

ALEPH/ALEF & TAV = ALPHA & OMEGA

ALPHA & OMEGA = Greek

ALEPH/ALEF & TAV = Hebrew

 

In the following SCRIPTURES, YAH said HE is the ALEPH/ALEF & TAV:

As seen in the SCRIPTURES, we can NOT talk about “TAV” without talking about ALEPH/ALEF”!

This is because before “TAV”, was and is “ALEPH”!

I have come to an understanding of how the HEBREW LETTER “TAV” is so very SIGNIFICANT!

The Letter “Tav” is first seen in Genesis 1:1 in the Hebrew Bibles. It appears after the name “ELOHIM” in the word “ETH” which stands for “ALEPH TAV”.

“In the beginning, ELOHIM ALEPH TAV created the Heavens and the Earth.”

ALEPH TAV = BEGINNING & END

It is also revealed in Hebrew that when YAH marked Cain as seen in Genesis 4:15-16, HE marked Cain with the Hebrew Letter “TAV” which looks something like this: “+”. This letter has a “STIGMA” attached to it. The word “STIGMA” often has a NEGATIVE CONNOTATION to it.

The Romans must have know this. It is amazing how they came up with the idea of CRUCIFYING PEOPLE ON THE CROSS, SYMBOLIC of the very Letter “TAV”. Note that the cross originated from the times of King Nimrod. It is mention in the chapter of the Book of Jasher at time when Nimrod and his subjects were trying to decide what punishment should be given to Abraham. One of the subjects suggested that Abraham be crucified but later decided that he should be placed in a fiery furnace instead just like Prophet Daniel’s friends: Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego were treated for not worshipping the small gods of Babylon.

According to the TORAH, the CHILDREN OF ISRAEL spent 400 years in the LAND OF EGYPT  (Mitzrayim) a.k.a LAND OF BONDAGE/SLAVERY to Pharoah.

According to Biblical Numerology, the Hebrew Letter Tav is the last letter of the “ALEPH BET” (commonly known as the HEBREW ALPHABET). It is equivalent to the number 400.

It is interesting that the CHILDREN OF ISRAEL spent 400 years in the land of Egypt and at the end of their stay in Egypt (Mitzrayim), YAH instructed them to paint their door posts in the shape of the HEBREW LETTER TAV with the BLOOD OF THE LAMB! This is HIGHLY SIGNIFICANT!

If the number 400 is equivalent to the Hebrew Letter “TAV” and the same Letter “TAV” appeared on the night of PASSOVER on every door of the Israelites, that implies that YAH’S COVENANT was SEALED AND FULFILLED! it implied that at 400 years, IT WAS FINISHED! The suffering of the Israelites was FINISHED! Just like YAHUSHUA overcame the power of SIN and DEATH on our behalf during HIS Crucifixion. HE said “IT IS FINISHED!”

Therefore 400 = IT IS FINISHED! “IT IS SEALED IN YAHUSHUA’S NAME!”

 

When reading Exodus 12:7, we see YAH asking the CHILDREN OF ISRAEL to paint their DOOR POSTS with the BLOOD OF THE UNBLEMISHED LAMB using HYSSOP. It has been revealed that the DOORPOSTS, our doorposts when put together form the Hebrew Letter “Tav” as seen in the picture above and below:

Remember that YAHUSHUA our MASHIACH died on PASSOVER and arose on the FEAST OF FIRST FRUITS (3 days later).

When YAHUSHUA was being punished for admitting the HE is the SON OF YAH and many other sins in the eyes of the Israelites, HE was crucified on a CROSS. The CROSS was designed in the shape of the Hebrew Letter “TAV”. At the time, the CROSS was being used by the Romans to STIGMATISE people for wrong-doing (wrong-doing as determined by the Roman government). It therefore had a NEGATIVE CONNOTATION to it.

The CROSS is a SYMBOL / SYMBOLIC of SIN and remember that the Letter “TAV” is also a SYMBOL / SYMBOLIC, which over the years has been used as a STIGMA first by YAH then later man.

• YAHUSHUA was STIGMATISED for our sake (mankind’s sake) that we may be RECONCILED UNTO ABBA YAH! (Isaiah 53; Acts 2)

• YAHUSHUA took our STIGMA and if only we accept HIM as the ONLY ONE AND TRUE MESSIAH plus HIS BLOOD SACRIFICE, we will have the opportunity of living in HEAVEN FOR ETERNITY as seen in John 3:16 and throughout the Book of Acts.

Just before YAHUSHUA died on the CROSS, HE said “IT IS FINISHED”. These are the SAME WORDS said / uttered at the END OF OUR PASSOVER MEALS from of old. The words are said in HEBREW and it is as follows: “AFIKOMEN” / “AFIKOMAN”!

“AFIKOMAN” / “AFIKOMEN” has two meanings:

1. “IT IS FINISHED”
2. “I AM COMING BACK”

YAHUSHUA uttered words (“AFIKOMAN” / “AFIKOMEN” – “IT IS FINISHED”) that SEALED THE COVENANT between HIM and YAH as well as between HIM and man!

The words “IT IS FINISHED” are also seen in the Book of Revelation at the END of the GREAT TRIBULATION / TIME OF JACOB’S TROUBLE! Revelation 21:6.

(Revelation) Hisgalus 21:6 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

⁶ And He said to me, “IT IS FINISHED! I am the ALEF and the TAV, the Reshit and the Ketz. To the one thirsting I will give of the Ma’ayan (Fountain) of Mayim Chayyim (Water of Life) freely. [YESHAYAH 55:1]

NO OTHER SACRIFICE SACRIFICE COULD AND CAN BE ACCEPTED BY ABBA YAHUVEH / YAHWEH (GOD THE FATHER) after YAHUSHUA’S death on the CROSS. YAHUSHUA is the LIVING and ONLY ACCEPTABLE LAMB OF YAH! YAHUSHUA, being the “ALEPH” & “TAV” brought an END to all the SACRIFICES that HE had commanded the ISRAELITES to carry out on daily, weekly, monthly and yearly basis as seen in the TORAH (particularly Numbers 28-29) and the rest of the TANAKH (OLD COVENANT / TESTAMENT). The Book of Hebrews highlights this fact.

In fact, Jewish Historical accounts reveal that as YAHUSHUA died on the CROSS and the TEMPLE CURTAIN TORN INTO TWO as well as DARKNESS COVERED THE LAND FOR 3 HOURS, somehow the Jews found themselves NO LONGER CARRYING OUT THE VARIOUS SACRIFICES! They couldn’t explain why. They just felt that there was NO MORE NEED TO CARRY OUT ANY SACRIFICES. I am sure that deep down within them, they knew that it had all come to an END and that YAHUSHUA was TRULY THE SON of ABBA YAHUVEH / YAHWEH but did not want to admit it!

The Letter “TAV” therefore has both POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE CONNOTATIONS!

YAH can choose to use the Letter “TAV” as and when HE pleases.

The Letter “TAV” is also symbolic of “COVENANT SEALING,” first seen in

• Genesis 4:15-16 with Cain (https://yahushua-thechiefcornerstone.com/what-was-the-mark-given-to-cain/),

then

• Exodus 12:7 with PASSOVER DOORPOSTS (https://yahushua-thechiefcornerstone.com/the-shema-shma/),

then

• John 19:17-22; Matthew 27:32-56 with YAHUSHUA’S death and many others CROSS (https://yahushua-thechiefcornerstone.com/pesach-feast-of-unleavened-bread/) and lastly

• Revelation 13:16-17 within the MARK OF THE BEAST (https://yahushua-thechiefcornerstone.com/the-mark-of-the-beast/) and (https://yahushua-thechiefcornerstone.com/the-shema-shma/)

Interesting enough, this Letter “TAV” is seen within the MARK OF THE BEAST in Revelation 13.

Revelation 13:16-17 King James Version (KJV)

¹⁶ And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

¹⁷ And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

Sadly, when our BIBLES were translated from HEBREW to GREEK to LATIN and finally to ENGLISH, a lot of MIS-TRANSLATIONS occurred. One of them was the MARK OF THE BEAST. When John saw the MARK OF THE BEAST, he did NOT SEE “666” as see and know it today. Rather he saw SYMBOLS as well as an image as it has been revealed by YAH over the years in accordance with Daniel 12:9.

Daniel 12:9 King James Version (KJV)

⁹ And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and SEALED UP till the time of the end.

The LETTER “TAV” means END when referring to YAH because HE says throughout the HOLY SCRIPTURES as seen in the Hebrew Bibles as well as in Revelation 1:8 and Revelation 22:13. In fact, the Letter “TAV” is the very LAST LETTER in the HEBREW ALPHABET!

Note that the HEBREW ALPHABET tells the STORY of HOW YOUR LIFE IS MEANT TO BE as designed by YAH! This story can only be understood when studying the PALOE HEBREW LETTERS. The letters changed over the years from YAH’S Original design to what we see today. Today’s letters do not make much sense. The same goes for the Greek language.

The ALEPH” being the FIRST LETTER and “TAV” being the LAST LETTER” is very significant. It is a CONSTANT REMINDER that OUR LIVES ARE NOT OUR OWN! Someone is in-charge and we need to ACKNOWLEDGE HIM!

Revelation 1:7-9 21st Century King James Version (KJ21)

⁷ Behold, He cometh with clouds, and every eye shall see Him, and they also who pierced Him; and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of Him. Even so. Amen.

⁸ “I Am Alpha And Omega, The Beginning And The Ending,” saith the Lord, who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.

⁹ I, John, who also am your brother and companion in tribulation and in the Kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was on the isle that is called Patmos, for the Word of God and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.

Revelation 22:13-21 King James Version (KJV)

¹³ I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.

¹⁴ Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

The Letter “TAV” implies that:

• once YAH seals it as a COVENANT, it is SEALED and no one can change it.
• Additionally, HE is the BEGINNING and the END.
• YAH knows the BEGINNING and the END!!! YAH knows the END from the BEGINNING!

What does this mean for us? It means that once one is given and/or receives the MARK OF THE BEAST, it is A DONE DEAL and can NOT BE REVERSED! It would be SEALED AS A COVENANT between that person and the Satan. The STIGMA / STIGMATISM then begins SPIRITUALLY.

Further one, the YAHUSHUA’S CROSS, is A SEALED COVENANT FOR OUR SALVATION in YAH (John 3:16).

In fact YAH has released some PROPHETIC WORDS through AMIGHTYWIND MINSTRY that in the GREAT TRIBULATION / TIME OF JACOB’S TROUBLE, when ZOMBIES attack those present and they believe in and follow YAHUSHUA, they should get a PIECE OF WOOD SHAPED AS A CROSS, SOAK IT WITH ANOINTING OIL while PRAYING OVER IT and then use it to PIERCE THE ZOMBIES. As soon as that is done, the ZOMBIES will leave them alone! This is how powerful the “TAV” / “+” symbol is.

Please do not take this symbol lightly.

When YAH repeats in Revelation 22 that HE IS THE ALEPH TAV, HE is passing a MESSAGE. Remember that the HOLY SCRIPTURES start off in Genesis 1:1 which in Hebrew is “Bereshiths” (spellings vary but mean the same thing) with the words “ETH” which means “ALEPH TAV” and then in Revelation 22, the last BOOK OF THE BIBLE / HOLY SCRIPTURES, YAH repeats the words “ETH”. I believe that YAH tells us that HE was at the BEGINNING OF ALL THINGS and is at the END OF ALL THINGS! HE determined the END from the BEGINNING!

HalleluYAH!!!

Praise YAH
