Hebrew Alphabet and Pictograms
The Hebrew language is unique in that it expresses itself both phonetically and well as pictographically. Of course for day to day use only phonics are used but for a deeper understanding of words and phrases the ancient pictographic values, used cautiously, can give considerable insight.
For example, Yeshua says, “I am the alpha and the omega, the beginning and the end.” In Hebrew that would be, “I am the aleph and the tav.”
By studying the pictograms we see the huge truth embodied in that phrase. Apart from as it were its superficial obvious meaning, it also means that Yeshua is the both the strong leader and the sacrificial ox, while also being the sign of the covenant. These are the deep truths He was proclaiming. Wonderful! Hallelujah!
