The Seal of the King

On April 7, 2009 I had a severe stroke. After being taken to the ICU by paramedics a
doctor was asking me to say something, I replied with, Baruch attah adonai eloheynu
melech ha-olam shea hey cHay yanu vey key-manu vey hee-gee yanu lah zeh-man
hazeh. Fortunately a Jewish nurse recognized the blessing. She told the doctor I was
not just speaking jibberish but that I had said blessing in Hebrew that gives thanks to
God for creating me, sustaining me, and bringing me to this time of life. A proceedure
had just been performed to drain the excess blood from my brain so the doctor was
relieved that I was able to speak and could be understood. Eventually I wound up in a
regular room, but was in a fog when I had an impressive visitor who I thought might be
my friend Rick who looks similar to the commonly published image of Jesus. Soon I
concluded this is not Rick, and was in fact Jesus, so I said, Attah haAlef veh Tav.(You
are Alef & Tav in Hebrew.) My visitor told me that I was correct and that I would not
sleep but that I would tell others about Him. I don't think He moved His lips to speak,
His voice did not sound anything like I expected. Anyway, His statement that I would
tell others about Him is the reason I am writing this. I am not a renowned biblical
scholar but I was an enthusiastic participant in a small group of people who established
a Messianic congregation in Springfield ,IL called Petah Tikvah. In subsequent research I
realized that the proclamation of Jesus to be Alpha and Omega as recorded in the book
of Revelation 1:8,1:11 & 22:13 would have been stated in Hebrew not Greek and that
His claim to be Alef-Tav leads to the greatest revelation regarding His personality. But
His announcement has been obscured in the Jewish and Christian worlds by the
treatment of the letters Alef-Tav. The Pharisees who viewed Jesus as a heretic tried to
cast Him as being ignorant of a gramatical rule cocerning Alef-Tav that they were
promoting so they would have grounds to counter His claim. Meanwhile those who
favored Greek were unaware of the magnitude of His claim based on the Hebrew of the
Tannak versus Greek in the Septuagint. Consequently, the significance of Alef-Tav
regarding the relationship of Jesus to the Jewish realm has been deemphasized.
Basically the scriptural rationale which reveals Jesus is God in the flesh has been hidden
from the world. The line of reasoning starts with Alef-Tav. Jesus made His claim to be
Alef-Tav during a time when a scripture portion containing Alef-Tav was being
considered, for instance Exodus 12:13> ~ytybh

l[ tal ~kl ~dh

The blood shall

be a sign for you upon the houses.{ha-dam lecHem le-et al ha-bye-team}.

In Deuteronomy 18:15 The LORD God Almighty is speaking to Moses, The LORD your
God will raise up for you a prophet like me from your midst from your brethern, Him

you shall hear. this verse says a prophet like me, verse 18:18 is nearly the same except
says a prophet like you. Historically Jewish proclivities expected a prophet like Moses
rejecting Yeshua/Jesus because He was predjudically evaluated by the Pharisees who
were predisposed to arrive at no other conclusion. Consequently, not only do the
miracles He performs have a null effect but astonishing scripture referring to Him will
be intentionally misinturpreted. When Moses was instructed about the construction of
the Tabernacle and it's furnishings God stated concerning the Mercy seat of the Ark of
the Covenant, And there I will meet with you and I will speak with you from above the
mercy seat from between the cherubim which are on the Ark of the Testimony.
(Exodus 25:22)The apparation of God who appears in this location will be known as
Adonai Tzevaot twabc hwhy the Redeemer of Israel who meets with the high priest on
Yom Kippur. Alef-Tav the word for sign acquires a vav and is now the word for a letter of
the Hebrew alphabet as well as miracle. The gospel of Luke relates the statement of
the Angel Gabriel to Mary, The Holy Spirit will come upon you and the power of the
highest will overshadow you; therefore also that Holy One who is to be born will be
called the Son of God.(Luke 1:35) This would have been a miracle then but today is
merely a medical procedure. God, Adonai Tzevaot, who materialized in a cloud above
the Ark, did so in the embryo of the baby Jesus such that Jesus was both a man and
God. The book of Joshua relates that Joshua instructs the Priests to carry the Ark across
the river Jordan then on the other side of the river meets an impressive military man
who can be none other than Adonai Tzevaot who had stepped down from the Mercy
seat (Joshua 5:13). Later the Philistines steal the Ark and place it in a warehouse for
gods, resulting in a confrontation with a statue of the god Dagon which ends with the
statue falling prostrate to the Ark of the Covenant and his hands and head clipped off.(1
Samuel 5:4) David danced and played music before the Ark of the covenant so
enthusiastically that he was criticised by his wife as if he were a modern day holy roller.
He responded that he would be even more undignified because Saul had made him King
but the real reason was he was so excited is that he had seen Adonai Tzevaot, his savior
and the Jewish Messiah. (2 Samuel 6:22) Adonai Tzevaot responds by telling David that
one of his descendants will also be His Son, Son of God. 2 Samuel 7:12> When your
days are fulfilled and you rest with your fathers I will set up your seed after you who
will come from your body and I will establish His kingdom. < This is a reference to
Jesus but acient Rabbis declared this refered to Solomon. Honest study will reveal they
were incorrect, It is not a reference to Solomon.
This is the reason I am writing this document. Jesus is the Jewish Messiah and has a
greater claim to being Jewish than anyone in human history but scoffers in the Jewish
world have created the impression that rejecting Him is a requirement of being Jewish.
Scripture pertinent to Him is missing from the widely published lists His claim to be

Alef-Tav in fact has been effectively covered up by being rendered as Alpha and Omega
which does not reveal a traceable line of logic supporting His claim. I have attempted to
compose this numerous times, but this simple concept explodes into multiple
considerations beyond my capacity to present the subject coherrently, so I drew a line
in the sand and stuck wth this version though I am a more confrontational than in
others, I am not a dignitary in either the Christian or Jewish worlds regardless I have
been given this assignment which I hope to accomplish to the best of my abilities.
David expressed exuberant praise before the Ark of the covenant<2 Samuel 6:5> "then
David and all the house of Israel played music before the LORD on all kinds of
instruments made of fir wood, on harps, on stringed instruments, on tamborines, on
sistrums and on cymbals.<2 Samuel 6:14> "Then David danced before the LORD with all
his might and David was wearing a linen ephod" (basically he was in his underwear!) Why
was David so animated? He reconized the Messiah! There is no Jew more Jewish than
Jesus.He was the manifestation of God Almighty who appeared to David just above the
Mercy seat between the cherubim on the Ark of the covenant, Adonai Tzevaot. Adonai
Tzevaot was more than just a vague mental image of God; He was a theophany of the
Lord Jesus Christ, He was the God part of Jesus who merged with man to be both God
and man,He merged with the human embryo in Mary as described by the angel Gabriel
in Luke 1:35 "the Holy Spirit shall come upon you and the power of the Highest will
overshadow you; therefore also that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son
of God." The Jewish World has been predisposed to ignore Gabriel's statement due to a
misinterpretation of an Old Testament scripture by ancient Rabbis. David is told by
Adonai Tzevaot that a human decendant of David will also be His Son, a son of God in 2
Samuel 7:13. Ancient Rabbis declared this was a reference to David's son Solomon,
essentially eliminating it as a consideration of the Messiah. Adonai Tzevaot appeared to
the high priest on Yom Kippur as Redeemer of Israel, but in Jesus becomes Savior of
the World. Isaiah 9:6 statesFor unto us a child is born, unto us a Son is given; And the
government shall be upon His shoulders. And His name will be called Wonderful
Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace, of the increase of His
government there shall be no end the words following declare, the zeal of the LORD
of hosts will perfom{accomplish} this.We Christians endeavor to follow Jesus, but can
be opposed to the environment which gave birth to our Savior, when we demand, I am
not under the law. However, Jesus did not die so we could become lawless beings, I
was an enthusiastic member of a small group of people who established a viable
Messianic Congregation in Springfield. IL. Jesus as God is an astute yet humble
Inventor/Creator of the vast universe as well as the microscopic molecules of the human
genome and is Himself a complicated entity, but not beyond knowing, His physical
characteristics are revealed in the Hebrew scriptures and His personality in the New

Testament. This world would be a safer and more amiable environment if the principles
of Jesus were inculcated by the numerous factions that proclaim their purpose is Peace.
It is not just diappointing that Jesus like Joseph the dreamer of Jacob's sons in the book
of Genesis has been rejected by His people,the children of Israel. There is an aspect to
Jesus that Jews would refuse to publish and Christians would label as heretical but is
revealed by scripture and should be included in the prophetic picture of the Hebrew
Messiah. Adonai Tzevaot (the LORD of hosts) is God in Jesus who is both man and God. I
feel as though I have drawn the short straw to tell this story, and I hope the details of
this effort will reveal a coherent presentation of an interaction with and understanding
of Jesus who has blessed my life as He would any other, Unfortunately, I have had
several false starts in this endeavor so I have decided to draw the line to tell the story as
is included. With the Holy Spirit as my chief guide in life, time has taken some unusual
twists and turns, God allows me to take control of my life then applies necessary
corrective measures when I realized He is better suited to be in charge, past present and
future can get jumbled up. When I have tried to be the director of my life, I have then
had to acquiesce to the Lord's corrective action and I become disoriented and
cofused,then as a result of the stroke I do not know what day it is, days, weeks, and
years are like a deck of cards which can be reshuffled. During the three year period
from 1978 to 1981 day after day I found myself picking up a Bible at 6 PM in the
evening then not putting it down until after 6 AM the next morning. During the night I
found myself totally engrossed in the text but if you were to ask about it the next day I
would tell you a wise old man had been talking to me all night. Before this time I had
become somewhat intriqued by new age philosophy, the wiji board and ghosts were
intriguing to me, however, this was squeezed out of my thought process as the details
from the Bible filled every corner of my mind and I had to start over from the beginning
with everything. My mother was an extrodinarily accomplished secretary in the offices
of the joint chiefs of staff in the Pentagon. One night she went out on the town, and met
my father,a sailor on shore leave in the nations capital. I was conceived under the lights
of a billboard which said, Cheap Motel My father at that time was married to a lady
in Illinois with whom he already had a son and would have another who would be born
one day before myself. I would meet them off and on throughout my life then in my
twenties I was in a prayer group with the lady to whom my father had been married,
She was a spiritual giant who prayed even for me with nary a hint of the wounds that
must have been in her life because of her relationship to my father. Later I was in a
preaching team in the county jail and prisons with her son, my half-brother. My mother
was a full blooded Mexican whose parents lived in Kansas City, Mo where they had
arrived after coming from Mexico with a short stay in Norton Ks. My mother returned
to their house before I was born in St. Joseph hospital in KC, but still I wound up in a

Catholic Orphanage for a while. I recall being spoon fed catechism and being a bed
wetter, but before attending public elementary school I lived with my Mexican
grandparents who spoke only Spanish and lived in a section of town in which few, if any,
spoke English, I was there long enough to learn to speak Spanish rather than English.
My parents amazingly made several attempts to form a family, but these always ended
in bitter disputes. The fact that they even tried based on their history was somewhat of
a mystery, I have concluded it must have been the influence of the Spirit of Jesus
attempting to guide us each in His will . In KC we wound up in a rat-infested apartment.
The song Mack the Knife by Bobby Darin was popular and played many times on a radio
in an ajoining apartment, I thought the song was about the rats. My father got a job as
a bread truck driver in Denver, Colorado so we moved and they again tried to become a
family which expanded with two more children. I loved Colorado, and the educational
aspects of school as well as attending a Catholic church to which I would run so as not to
be late. My parents argued incessantly and violently which drove me to prayer, so I
developed the habit of getting up before sunrise to go to a nearby city park called
Houston Lake Park from where I could see the mountains. There I would speak to
(rather, shout at) God. Maybe it was during this time I recognized Jesus was accused of
being a bastard like me, but I felt that I knew Him personally, and I liked Him. I grew
up and lived in Denver, Colorado until my high school years, then my father left to
return to his father's house in Decatur IL to which my mother responded by taking me,
my brother, and sister to live with him there. In 1963, my senior year of high-school, I
walked into the Principal's office, quit school, and joined the Army. At Ft. Polk LA, while
in basic training I walked into a drug store on base with what looked like a soda-bar,
however beer was the liquid on tap, I consumed many pithers of it. This began my
long relationship with alchoholism. By 1966 when I was released from active service I
was sober few of the 168 hours in a week. Yet I somehow had a brain that liked to study
and digest complicated matters, This would be my saving grace in societal matters. I
obtained a job as an industrial engineering clerk with a Borg-Warner company and was
given an opportunity to become a programmer for a new NCR computer that was being
installed. The company I worked for merged with other Borg-Warner companies and
used a large mainframe computer in Chicago, so I lived in motels on an expense account
for several years. At the same time NCR sold the same type of computer we had used to
Decatur Public Schools and Bloolington Public School District, to be used for
Administrative applications as well as to assist in classroom instruction (the Internet was
not yet a consideration). After a few years a person who was also a programmer at
Borg-Warner with me took a job with the Decatur School System, and I became the
Director of a newly formed computer department for Bloomington Public Schools.
There we combined our efforts on some projects and made some significant

advancements but since I was not a teacher by profession and the computer field was in
transition to personal computers and the Internet, I resigned and took a job with a food
and paper distributor in Springfield, IL who had selected this same type of NCR
computer system. There the challenge was not with just the computer hardware and
application software but also in establishing a computer department with appropriate
personnel. The effort proved successful in regard to hardware and software , but
people irrationally chritized me and I still resided in Decatur while working 100 hour
weeks in other cities so eventually took a position as a programmer with a midwest
retailer with offices in Decatur called K's Merchandise. The president and owner of the
business was very much a hands-on operator with whom I developed a close
relationship. Again people were opposed to me, this time even more violently but
despite their opinions I worked through them to achieve some significant
accomplishments and was promoted to vice-president of Information Systems.
Unfortunately a conflict with a bank executive and my boss, the owner of the business,
resulted in the company being forced to be shut down and liqidated, By this time I had
twelve children, and had acquired a long list of conflicts. I was among many who lost
our jobs, then while out of work I had the stroke. Also while out of work I was part of a
small gtoup who established a Messianic-Congregation in Springfield IL and I learned
Hebrew well enough to read the Jewish Bible called Tannach as well as a Torah Scroll,
however I quickly surmised this was not impressive to my Christian friends who revered
Greek which to me was like taking cod liver oil. So, I tried to learn Greek but did not do
so well. My boss had learned Greek when he was in college and was encouraging me to
do so. My responsibility under him was to manage the companies computer resources
and I was accustoned to showing him progress on projects,So regarding Greek I did
something simple that made me feel like I was making progress. I opened my Septuagint
to the book of Joshua and pointed to to title with Joshua in Greek in a large font then
turned to Matthew 1:21 in my Greek New Testament which relates that Joseph was told
to name his son Jesus which I compared to the large font heading of the book of
Joshua in the Septuagint which were the same Greek letters. Feeling like an
accomplished Biblical Scholar I proudly lauded my discovery as I stood as if to preach
while pointing to the name of Jesus, but immediately fell backward on the floor due to a
severe stroke. Very soon thereafter paramedics were loading me on a stretcher, then,
not long after that, a doctor was asking me to say something. I responded with a
Hebrew blessing normally said just prior to Hannukak. I know this because when I was
moved to the ICU, the doctor's nurse who was also Jewish told me that the doctor
asked me to say something because a hole had been made in my head to drain the
excess blood that was accumulating on my brain, she told me that I said the shay-heyche-yanu blessing which gives thanks to God for creating, sustaining and bringing me to

this season of life. Fortunately, She told the doctor I was not just babbling and that my
words made sense. Some time much later after that I was moved to a regular room and
had a visitor who I thought was my friend Rick because he looked like the commonly
published image of Jesus. Rick had some Jewish friends and was impressed that I could
speak Hebrew so whether this visitor was actually Jesus or Rick I said, Shalom, Attah
ha-Alef veh Tav. This was well received by my visitor and He told me that I would tell
others about Him but I recall He did not appear to be speaking, His lips were not moving
but His gaze was fixed on me and I did not feel uncomfortable. This publication is due to
that encounter and relates an aspect of Jesus that so far as I can determine has not
been brought to light by biblical scholars. These are points that I had discovered in the
Bible prior to this encounter but I believe is the reason He said I would tell others about
Him. There are two groups to whom an expose on Jesus would be addresed, first
Christians, of course, but they often have cotton in their ears when Jewish aspects of
Jesus are brought up, then there are the Jews, the Hebrews, descendants of Abraham
who became the nation of Israel and had the Torah scroll which was read on a three
year cycle in synagogues but is now divided into 52 portions of about 4 to 5 chapters
each, read weekly by Jewish congregations world-wide. A Torah scroll is the most
significant item in each synagogue stored in a cabinet called an Ark. Members of this
group will glare at me and state, I'm Jewish! which means, no discussion of Jesus
allowed! During the time of Jesus when the Torah Scroll was removed from the Ark to
be read the Rabbi would hug the scroll close to his heart and tenderly give it a
respectful kiss. This is how Judas identified Jesus. Judas has been misunderstood by
history. He was not identifying an insurgent for the soldiers, he was saying Jesus is the
fulfillment of Torah and is Messiah. It is time to clear this matter up.

The Physical Appearance of Jesus

Jesus was an impressive figure of a man. Abraham, Moses, Joshua and King David saw a
theophany of Him. The Pharisees did not know they were on the verge of a significant revelation
concerning Him when they said, You are not yet 50 years old and You have seen
Abraham!(John 8:56). Benjamin Netanyahu would be the type of appearance and personality
He would manifest in Modern times. Of those in ancient times Joshua and David got the best
look at Him.Immediately after Joshua is given charge of the children of Israel they arrive at the
Jordan river opposite Jericho. Joshua tells the Priests to carry the Ark of the Covenant across
the River, then as soon as their feet touch the river bed the flow of the river is interrupted such
that a path across the river is exposed so that the children of Israel can cross on nearly dry
ground. After they do so they Priests deposit the Ark of the Covenant on the opposite bank of
the river. At this point Adonai Tzevaot steps down from the Mercy seat to meet Joshua and to
give him the plan of attack for Jericho. (Joshua chapters 5 & 6). This appearance of Jesus is as an
impressive military man with a sword, Commander of the Armies of the LORD,-Joshua 5:13.
Adonai Tzevaot's mission is in support of Israel, so He appears again as an Angel of the LORD
with a sword near Jericho to dissuade Ballaam from cursing the children of Israel
(Numbers22:31) Since the book of Numbers comes before Joshua this is an unusual occurance
in scripture.
I have had to push myself very hard to accomplish this, first because the physical results of the
stroke have me in sometimes severe discomfort, also a concern that this whole matter was just
a dellusion has concerned me which is why there have been several initial versions of this work.
But since I had a true dellusion while recovering in a nursing home I know what a dellusion
feels like and the meeting with Jesus has become more real. I eventually was moved to Mason
Point Nursing Home and thought the reason for this move was because I was the owner of the
St. Louis Cardinals (which I am not) and since the nursing home was much closer to St. Louis I
could be taken to the park quickly, this was a complex dellusion causing me to think that even
employees of the nursing home were a party to this practical deception for my benefit. Before I
had the stroke I was very interested in the Hebraic foundations of Christianity which was why I
was instrumental in helping to establish a Messianic congregation in Springfield, IL. I can read a
Torah scroll though I do not chant. The Bible has been a valuable resource to me sporadically
throughout my life. It is my hope that this endeavor will contribute to a common knowledge
that a robust, full Life as a gift from God is within the reach of every person! And that a person
doesn't have to put a lien on their house to attain it. It's practically free. It jumps off the pages of
the Bible into your mind and heart. It is the Spirit of God, who wants everyone who chooses
Him to be more than just a success in Life, He wants that person to represent Him. Jesus in
order to accomplish His mission as our Savior was both a man, a descendant of David, and God
in a human body. The clue to His identity is His declaration that He is Alef-Tav(ta) which has
been rendered in the Greek as Alpha-Omega repeatedly in verses in the book of Revelation.
God does not communicate anonimously or incognito, He is very lucid and forthright in His
Word, the Bible, it is a charter document to declare His objectives and reveal His personality

especially as that of His Redeemer, Adonai Tzevaot. Also the personal attitudes and strategies
that we as His subjects/servants need in this life are revealed, but He has only one requirement
which is that we acknowledge and accept Him, as our personal Redeemer/Messiah/Savior.

The first direct announcement of the birth of Messiah was made by God to David. (2Samuel
7:12-14>God says to David,When your days are fulfilled and you rest with your fathers I will set
up your seed after you who will come from your body, and I will establish His kingdom...I will be
His father and He shall be My Son. David responded by acknowledging Him in Joy<2 Samuel
7:28>And now O LORD GOD You are God and Your Words are true and You have promised this
goodness to Your servant. Now therefore let it please You to bless the house of Your servant,
that it may continue forever before You; for You O Lord God have spoken it and with Your
blessing let the house of Your servant be blessed forever. To the contrary when Messiah did
come, King Herod responded with disgust. When Herod the king heard these things he was
troubled and all Jerusalem with him.<Matthew 2:3>. David's response should be the measure
of a true Jew, but Rabbis have tried to divert the Words of God Almighty by demanding that the
announcement of the Messiah to David in Samuel refers to Solomon, David's son. God clears up
the matter by putting the announcement in scripture a second time phrased in a slightly
different way. 1 Chronicles 17:11-13 God speaking to David states, And it shall be when your
days are fulfilled, when you must go to be with your fathers that I will set up your seed after you
who will be of your sons; and I will establish his kingdom, He shall build Me a house and I will
establish his throne forever. I will be His Father and He shall be My Son, and I will not take My
mercy away from Him.If this were referring to Solomon it would have said simply: will be your
son/not of your sons. Jesus is seed of David annouced in 2 Samuel 7:11-14 and 1 Chronicles
17:11-13 and the Christian Church is the House through which His kingdom will be established.
God's message in the Bible is exactly what He intended for it to be, If you're looking for a
scientific journal or precisely factual history book go to the public library. There are books in
the library about the Bible and topics presented in the Bible but be sure to read a generally
accepted translation of the Bible for yourself to get God's point of view.
By doing so God can develop His Spirit in you and He will incorporate you as an aspect of His
creation.

Dog-gone Dagon
An unususal response to Jesus is noted in Mark 1:24 where a man with an unclean spirit cries
out," Let us alone! What have we to do with You Jesus of Nazareth Did You come to destroy us?
I know who You are, the Holy One of God. These unusual comments result from events
reported in 1 Samuel 5:4 "And they arose early the next morning and there was Dagon fallen
on it's face to the ground before the Ark of the LORD. The head Dagon and both it's palms of
it's hands were broken off on the threshold, only Dagon's torso was left of it. The Philitines had
stolen the Ark of the Covenant and placed it in a warehouse with a statue of their god Dagon.
Even the inanimate statue of Dagon fell prostrate to the God of gods, Adonai Tzevaot. The
unclean spirit recognized Adonai Tzevaot in Jesus and was threatening to expose Him, expecting
that it would give him some sort of advantage over Jesus. Jesus recognized He could have
retorted, "Shut up, and be gone!" which He did in a more dignified manner. Demons recognize
who Jesus is but His followers do not. He gave us a clue by saying He is Alef-Tav.

The Bible is not a secular history book, however, the Christian faith and church was established
by historically significant events regarding our Redeemer and Messiah, Jesus/Adonai Tzevaot.
The characteristics of Jesus cannot be described by any word other than miraculous. Alef-Tav is
a word in Hebrew used in Exodus 12:13 It means: SIGN
Exodus 12:13> the blood shall be a sign for you on the houses ...

~ytbh l[ tal ~kl ~dh<<Read Hebrew right to left<<

ta))is a clue to the identity of God manifested in Jesus and it has an enhanced

Alef-Tav(

connotation in modern Hebrew. The word sign evolved to include the Hebrew letter vav and is
now the word for: miracle

ta> > twa

the most revered personality of God at the time of

Jesus was recognized as Redeemer He would appear to the High Priest on Yom Kippur above
the mercy seat on the Ark of the covenant. The name of this personality is

twabc hwhy

(Adonai Tzevaot) This was translated by the Pharisees as LORD of hosts because tzeva is the
word for hosts in Genesis 2:1. The scribes and Phaisees of Jesus day would bend their strict rules
of scripture interpretation to allow for anything that tickled their own fancy but would not
recognize even the ordained miracles performed by Jesus because they refused to earnestly
evaluate anything regarding Him. They have passed on their prejudicial assesment to their
decendants which has caused many modern Jews to be predisposed to athieism.
It is ironic that it was the Parisees who inadvertently gave Jesus the designation as "the Word".
When Jesus identified himself as Alef-Tav the Pharisees dismiss any credibility of this claim
whatever it might mean and counter it by demanding that Alef-Tav is the "Word" which
according to them is merely a gramatical device, the direct article, which is like a road sign

indicating the definite direct-object of a phrase or verse is ahead, this rule and nomenclature
has been adopted in modern Hebrew as well. Shown below is a page from a modern Hebrew
primer.

The Apostle John responds to the Pharisees in his gospel by highlighting the intended meaning
of Jesus' claim, " In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was
God. The first five words of the Bible in Hebrew are as follows:

mymvh ta myhla arb tVarb

Transliterated this is: beh-raw-sheet Bah-raw Elowheem et ha-sha-my-eem.
translated this is: In the beginning God created the heavens...
Alef-Tav prounced et is highlighted. It is just prior to the direct object(the heavens) but is also
with God, Elowheem, and according to John is part of a compound name of God.

The Spirit of Jesus Manifest in the Twentieth Century.

In the twentieth century there were two pertinent events regarding Alef-Tav. First, the
academy in Israel responsible for the modern Hebrew language rendered the phrase "one
another" in Hebrew as zeh et zeh hz ta hz, This is an illustration of a relationship of two
people including Jesus as the center of that relationship. This is not an image the academy
would even accidently intend to create unless the influence of the Spirit of Jesus were involved.

Also, it was well known that the book of Esther does not contain God's name, but Alef-Tav ta
is strategically situated in the script after each of the names of Haman's sons. The book of
Esther contains a list of the ten sons of Haman who were hung on a gallows that Haman had
prepared for Mordecai, In this list are some Hebrew letters shown for thousands of years in a
very small font and that equate to the gregorian year 1946. The Nuremburg trials which were
held in 1946 after WWII resulted in ten Nazis being hung. As the first nooze was placed on the
head of Julius Striecher, the Nazi most knowledgable regarding Jewish tradition, screamed out,

Purim 1946 Following each of the names of the sons of Haman in the book of Esther is AlefTav. This is a sign that Jesus personally greeted each of the Nazis as they perished to personally
inform them of His judgement sending them to Hell.
The list of Haman's sons is like this:

Taw

Hitler feigned being Christian so he could excercise control over the churches. Christians who
resisted Hitler were murdered with the Jews. Alef-Tav can give us the hidden strategies to avoid
and/or negotiate the hazzards of demonology, He is the Way, the Truth and the Life. , He is not
only Redeemer, Jesus is the King of Israel. He placed Alef-Tav, His Sign, centermost on the cross
like the seal of a King who rules by Love not just capricious demands.
Jesus gave two new commandments examplfied by the two beams of His cross and He carried
those two beams to the place He was crucified The vertical beam signified the first
commandment the horizontal beam signified the second commandment at their intersection is
Alef-Tav.

announcing the most important personality of the God of Israel, the Redeemer who resided
above the Mercy seat in the Holy of Holies and appeared to the High Priest on Yom Kippur
(Exodus 25:22/Lev. 16:2) Isaiah 9 says that Unto us a child is born, unto us a Son is given and
this is precisely what occurs in the birth of Jesus. Isaiah states futher that His name shall be
called wonderful counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father adding that the zeal of the LORD of
hosts {Adonai Tzevaot} will perform this. The child of Joseph and Mary who they named
Yeshua/Jesus was born just a short distance from the Ark of the Covenant which was in the Holy
of Holies so Adonai Tzevaot could indeed perform as foretold. Adonai Tzevaot, redeemer of
Israel, materialized in the pre-born embryo of Yeshua as announced by the Angel Gabriel in Luke
1:35 to become Redeemer/Savior of the entire world in Jesus. Adonai Tzevaot which is
translated LORD of hosts, could, perhaps should be translated: LORD of miracles.
Psalm 24:10 asks Who is the King of Glory? Then answers> LORD of hosts {Adonai Tzevaot} He is
the King of Glory. This is a reference to Jesus Christ. He was both man and God.
Another concept we have difficulty percieving is eternity. It is like a rubber band which can
stretch in two directions, since we associate it with the kingdom to come we see it going only
from the time of our demise into the future. But the Spirit of Adonai Tzevaot was active in ages
before the cross as His Spirit is active Today after the cross. When God through Christ gives us a
new nature it can affect our past as well as our present and future, We can incorporate this into
our thinking by realizing that stupid thing is not something the new me would do and poof, It
isn't even considered. When God takes control of our life we are truly a new creation. The Bible
relates the life of Jesus prior to His birth as a human through the activities of Adonai Tzevaot
who was God in Jesus. The prophet Isaiah speaks of Him, For unto us a child is born, unto us a
child is given; and the government shall be upon His shoulder.And His Name shall be called
wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace Of the increase of His
government and peace there will be no end....The zeal of the LORD of hosts shall perform
this.Indeed the LORD of hosts (Adonai Tzevaot) performs this through Yeshua/Jesus.
During the time of David the mystical power of the Ark of the covenant was not a secret. When
David, accompanied by many, retrieves the Ark which had been stolen by the Phillistines the
power of the Ark is already legendary as affirmed by 1 Samuel 6:2, the Ark of God whose name
is called by the Name, the LORD of Hosts who dwells between the cherubim.David is exuberant
in his praise of the LORD of Hosts, then as the Ark comes into the City David's dancing and
shouts of Joy are displeasing to Michal, Saul's daughter and David's wife. David credits the LORD
for having been appointed as King and informs Michal that he will be even more undignified in
his praise and is not concerned about being humiliated, David is the first Holy Roller.
(1Samuel6:21,22). David could visualize the Messiah in Adonai Tzevaot, because David allows
the Messiah to be whatever He needs to be and will be rather than laying down his personal

criteria for Messiah, unfortunately, some will not accept Jesus as Messiah because He
supposedly lacks a specific characteristic they have formulated in their mind only. In chapter 17
of 1 Chronicles David sits before the Ark first acknowledging his humility then declares the LORD
of hosts(Adonai Tzevaot), the God of Israel , is Israel's God! David is recognizing not just the God
of Israel but also the Messiah and his personal Savior. Some who have honest respect for David
will not allow themselves to follow David's example. The human name of Jesus is Yeshua,
Adonai Tzevaot is completed in Him to become Messiah/Christ (Savior) of the entire human race
not just Redeemer of Israel. Jesus is anxious for His brethern to take their place with Him as a
witness for haShem.The fact that Messiah will be both son of man and Son of God is announced
twice in scripture, 2 Samuel 7 and 1 Chronicles 17. Both undoubtedly reference the same event
but one is in the prophetic section of scripture and the other in the Writings. As David prays
before the Ark of the Covenant and the mercy seat Adonai Tzevaot tells David, "When your days
are fulfilled and you rest with your fathers I will set up your seed after you who will come from
your body and I will establish his kingdom. (1 Samuel 7:12)in other words a human descendant
of David will become king but then Adonai Tzevaot states, " I will be his father and he shall be
my Son." (1Samuel 7:14) So, God will call a descendant of David, His Son! This person would
then be both man and God in one body{Note:If this were speaking of Solomon, then it would
have said your son not your seed.}. 1 Chronicles makes the same statement> "And it shall be
when your days are fullfilled when you must go to be with your fathers, that I will set up your
seed after you who will be of your sons; and I will establish His kingdom. He shall build me a
house and I will establish His throne forever. I will be His father and He shall be my Son." (1
Chronicles 17:11-13) With the establishment of theMasoritic text of the Hebrew Bible ancient
Rabbis declared this refers to Solomon, but Jesus proves by His authority through miracles that
the house to be established is a reference to Him and His Church. Jesus is both Son of man and
Son of God. (My Jewish friends please note this is not a reference to Solomon, it is truly a
reference to Jesus/Yeshua, our Redeemer/Savior.
Clearly, haShem expects His Jewish Nation to be a vital part of communicating His Word to His
coming Church, but a Jewish influence is sadly missing. The introductory comments to the book
of Joshua in the Christian Bible under the heading THE CHRIST OF JOSHUA states: Although
there are no direct messianic prophecies in the book, Joshua is clearly a type of christ.
Apparently the translators are unaware of the extraordinary encounter with theophany that
occurs at the outset of the events of the book of Joshua which is as clear as the nose on your
face in the Hebrew text of Joshua 5:14-15. To illustrating this requires a bit of a tangent:The
movie "Raiders of the Lost Ark" is based upon the most powerful artifact constructed by Moses ,
the Holy Ark of the Covenant. The movie took poetic license with the mystical power of the Ark
which eminated from the cover of the Ark called the mercy seat; however the Philistines are
apparently aware of this power because they steal the Ark(1Samuel 5:1). Concerning the Mercy
seat when the Ark is constructed God Almighty tells Moses, "there I will meet with you and I will
speak with you from above the mercy seat from between the cherubim." (Exodus 25:22) In this
spot God appears to the High Priest as Redeemer on Yom Kippur (Leviticus 16:2) The
manifestation of God here is called Adonai Tzevaot (2 Samuel 6:2)the text of the Bible leaves no

doubt that the mystical power emenates from His Spirit which is located just above the cover of
the Ark. The Philistines are aware of the power of the Ark because they steal it and store it with
their Pagan god Dagon. When the Ark is stolen by the Phillistines Leviticus 16:2 which warns
Aaron to be cautious lest he die which becomes an omen of the destruction of a statue of
Dagon (1 Samuel 5:4), And when they arose the next morning there was Dagon fallen on its
face to the earth before the Ark of the LORD the head of Dagon and the palms of its hands were
broken off. The cause of Dagon's demise is Adonai Tzevaot (LORD of hosts) of whom David
says, The God of Israel is Israel's God. and who Isaiah calls the Holy One of Israel Clearly,
something unusual, even mystical eminates from the Mercy seat on the Ark.

twabc hwhy Tzevaot is a combination of two Hebrew words: first:hosts and

second:miracles, so Adonai Tzevaot has been translated as LORD of hosts but could, indeed
should be LORD of Miracles, and is the Spirit of God who materialized in the body of the child of
Joseph and Mary during the feast of Tabernacles and who is called Jesus. The key that unlocks
this mystery is that Jesus declared He is Alef-Tav in Hebrew (rendered as Alpha-Omega in New
Testament Greek).

Isaiah is the major prophet due to his interaction with personality of God who is the
Redeemer of Israel, Adonai Tzevaot.
IsaIah 6:3> Holy, Holy, Holy Adonai Tzevaot

Adonai Tzevaot is the pressence of God about whom Moses was advised when the Ark of the
Covenant was constructed, And there I will meet with you and I will speak with you from above
the mercy seat, from between the two cherubim which are on the ark of the testimony (Exodus
25:22) This manifestation of God appears to Aaron as Redeemer of Israel on Yom Kippur.
Isaiah's prophesies in 9:6 about the Messiah, For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given
And the government shall be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful,
ounselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His government
and peace there shall be no end upon the throne of David and over His kingdom to order and
establish it with jufgement and justice from that time forward even forever. The zeal of the
LORD of hosts {Adonai Tzevaot} shall perform this. <<Notice Isaiah's statement that Adonai Tzevaot
will accomplish the prophecy of 9:6

An Angel of the LORD

The key reason for this publication is that the most important and
illuminating theophany of the Lord Jesus Christ in the Bible has been
overlooked by Biblical scholars for thousands of years. Jesus told me I
would tell others about Him; so, this chapter lays out the reason for this
work. My hope is that the Jewish world will recognize their Redeemer after
the many centuries of their vile rejection of Him. He is the God of Yom
Kippur.
When the Ark of the Testimony was constructed He told Moses, "And there
I will meet with you and I will speak with you from about the mercy seat
from between the Cherubim." (Exodus 25:22). Joshua insructed the Priests
to carry the Ark through the river Jordan as they did so the flow of the river
was disrupted such that water mounted up like the cliff face of a mountain
on each side of a path from the east to the west bank of the river so the
children of Israel could walk across as they had through the Red Sea.

Just before the crossing of the Jordan river where the children of Israel will
officially be entering the promised land Moses gives Joshua command of
the people. Dramatic events occur which may may have a repeated affect
throughout history, first and foremost the events that happen as Joshua
and the people enter Cannan are described which are recorded in the book
of Joshua then if Nicodemus had been a scribe he must have worked
nervously on the book of Joshua as he transferred the words of the events
to a new scroll and discussed them with his associates. Finally if these are
words foretelling the return of Jesus we will see them materialize in our
future with His return.
The Priests place the Ark on bank of the river Jordan opposite the city of
Jericho then after all the people have crossed Joshua encounters an
impressive military man holding a sword of whom Joshua asks, "are you
with us or with our enemies?" The man declares He is the commanding

general of the armies of God. which Joshua acknowledges by falling

prostrate before Him. The commander then gives Joshua the plan of
attack for Jericho which Joshua relays to the preists and the people who
accomplish the task and the walls of Jericho fall down. Meanwhile the
Commander is acting on behalf of the children of Isreal by keeping the
prophet Balaam from pronouncing curses on them. Numbers 22:1 "The
children of Israel moved and camped in the plains of Moab on the side of
the Jordan across from Jericho." /22:31 "Then the LORD opened Balaam's
eyes and he saw the Angel of the LORD standing in the way with a drawn
sword in His hand." This Angel was the Commander to whom Joshua had
spoken and who was protecting His people Israel.
