The Mystery Letter
The Mystery Letter • There are a couple of points to note about this portion of Torah 1. The “Mystery Letter”, the Hebrew letter hey: 1. Written twice as large as it should be 2. Having no literal translation: 1. an extra letter in the text 2. Artistic-Style or Clue? 2. As with some other portions, this portion is written in two separate columns 1. Artistic-Style or Clue?
The Mystery Letter • To come to your own personal understanding, one must understand the text. • Also, it is helpful to understand the context of the recording of the text • I call this chapter, “Moshe’s Swan Song”
The Mystery Letter Give me your ears, O Heavens, and I will speak to ה you (Behold! Gaze thru this window!) To Yahweh have you ripened this fruit, And you shall listen, O Land, for my mouth did speak O people who are stupidly vile people They will drip like rain; my teaching will drip as the You are not intelligent and so he is not your father dew Even though he purchased you, formed you, My speech is like rain upon tender herbs established you And like the showers upon the grassy fields Remember the ancient days, understand the years For the name Yahweh will I call out Generation to generation you should ask of your Ascribing greatness to our Elohim, the Rock father and he will tell you, Ask the ancients, and they will speak to you His work is perfect, for all of his ways are just Elyon, in the inheritance of the nations, The faithful El in whom there is no wickedness In dividing the sons of Adam Righteous and straight is he! He established the peoples’ borders They are corrupt to him and are not his sons, According to the numbering of the sons of Israel A perverse, crooked generation For Yahweh’s portion is his people Ya’akov is the cord of his inheritance
The Mystery Letter The Rock gave you birth, you lost the memory of him The God who gave you form Yahweh will see and from a place of anger He will despise his sons and daughters And he will say, “I will hide my face from them I will see what their end will be… Aphelion – farthest point of orbit from the sun Violence and chaos
The Mystery Letter The Rock gave you birth, you lost the memory of him The God who gave you form If Yahweh’s people are Yahweh will see and from a place of anger far from him, what He will despise his sons and daughters And he will say, “I will hide my face from them about the rest of the sons I will see what their end will be… of Adam??? Aphelion – farthest point of orbit from the sun Violence and chaos
Fulfillment • John 8:44 • You belong to your father, h’Satan, and you want to carry out your father's desires. From the start he was a murderer, and he has never stood by the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he tells a lie, he is speaking in character; because he is a liar—indeed, the inventor of the lie!
The Mystery Letter From outside will the sword bring suffering, From inside your rooms will come terror Terror will come also to the young man, as to the virgin girl Also to the suckling and the man who is old I said, “I will blow them away, I will take rest from the memories of mortal man” Except for the anger of the adversary… So I will turn from my anger - So they do not deduce falsely from the tribulation And wrongfully proclaim, “Our hand is high! It is not Yahweh who accomplished all of this!” For they are a nation lacking purpose* - There is no wisdom in them. To him is his wisdom They will discern this - And they will be separated in their end of days**
The Mystery Letter • * Solomon wrote, “Without purpose, the people cast off restraint.” Another translation says, “…the people perish”. Casting off the restraint of Torah means they perish. • ** This is quite different from the normal translation. To start with, most translate the Hebrew לו as if it were written לא or “not”. But what if this is a glimmer of hope in the midst of doomsday prophecy, that in the end, Israel will return to Yahweh? That is how I see it, and that is my prayer, that they will soon look upon him whom they have pierced and mourn for him as one mourns for a son who has died. When they do, they will be fully separated from the nations. Today, at least where I live, the cause of “social justice” has become paramount in many hearts, but not Torah, or “social justice” at least founded in Torah. They have taken a liberal, humanistic view of life, in direct opposition to Torah. May this change in our day.
Fulfillment • 1Corinthians 10:1-5: • For, brothers, I don't want you to miss the significance of what happened to our fathers. All of them were guided by the pillar of cloud, and they all passed through the sea, and in connection with the cloud and with the sea they all immersed themselves into Moshe. Also they all ate the same food from the Spirit, and they all drank the same drink from the Spirit; for they drank from a Spirit-sent Rock which followed them. And that Rock was the Messiah. Yet with the majority of them God was not pleased, so their bodies were strewn across the desert.
