Remember, all the words of Scripture point to Messiah Yeshua in some way. Usually, it is in ways we cannot and will not readily see. This verse has a little of the obvious, and a little of the more obscure.<br />To better see some of the less obvious features of Genesis 1:1, let's see it in Hebrew: <br /><br />בראשית ברא אלהים את השמים ואת הארץ<br /> <br />Remember, Hebrew reads from right to left. This is how this verse would appear in a Torah scroll, with no vowel points. In a Torah scroll, the first letter (the far right) is enlarged as you see it here. This is the letter Bet. This enlarged Bet is important for a number of reasons that we will see.<br /><br />The first word/phrase of the verse is ' b'reshit ', which literally means "in the beginning". Beth (Bet) is enlarged in Hebrew. The Beth means house. The purpose of creation is God wanted a house to dwell with man through His Son - Yeshua, The Messiah. The second letter is the 'Resh'. If we read the first letter in Genesis, which is 'Beth', and the second letter, which is 'Resh', together they spell ' בר' (Bar), which means Son.<br /> <br /><br />So God wanted a house to dwell with man through His Son - Yeshua, The Messiah. Very interesting, the Rabbis teach in the Talmud that creation was for the Messiah (Sanhedrin 96).PNN News and Ministry Networkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12700913805250125044noreply@blogger.com
