Speaker 1 (00:00):
Now here's a highlight. From coast to coast AM on iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
We are back with Carl Gallops. Golgotha's Groaning is the latest,
and we've been focusing on the last letter of the
ancient Hebrew alphabet Ta. If you look at the the letter,
it looks like a cross. And this is the Paleo Hebrew. Again,
the Old Testament was written in Paleo Hebrew originally, then
(00:26):
of course translated into Greek and then English. But if
you go back to the ancient Hebrew, that Ta is
this divine marker that can be found virtually in every
book of the Bible, from Genesis all the way to Revelation.
Now let's talk about the first letter of the alphabet,
(00:46):
a lef. So you've got this pair of letters, A lef,
the first letter tab, the first and last letters of
the Hebrew alphabet. You say, it's like Jesus quietly signing
his name all through through the Bible.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
How does that work? Yeah, thank you, thank you. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
So the first letter and I'm not parsing your words here,
but they're pronounced alah and the tuv, and I know
in English it does look like exactly how you were
pronouncing it.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
But when I speak, I speak of the alaph and
the tuv.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
It's those letters would be synonymous with the Greek letters
alpha and omega, the beginning, in the end, the first
and the last.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
And of course Jesus says that's me, over and over.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
I'm the beginning, the end, the first and the last,
the alpha and the Omega.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
Well, God says that about himself.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
Of course, Jesus is the Manuel God with us, and
we can get into that discussion discussion later. But in
the Book of Isaiah three or four times, and I've
got these all referenced in others. In the Old Testament,
you hear the Lord God himself Yahweh. You hear him saying,
I am the first and the last, I am your redeemer.
I am your salvation. And what's cool about that is
(01:59):
the word salvation in English, it's in Hebrew it's Yeshua
that means salvation. I am your Yeshua. I am the first,
in the last.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
I am the beginning in the end.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
So what God is speaking of, and then God in
the flesh is speaking of in the New Testament. But
what God is speaking of in the Old Testament is
the first in the last letter of the ancient Hebrew
alphabet or even the modern Hebrew alphabet.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
So here's the important thing. Each letter the Hebrew.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
Alphabet is just amazing because their numbering system comes from
the alphabet. The letters, of course make up the words
that come from the alphabet, of course. But the other
thing is since the beginning of time that we know
from the Protosinatic alphabet, which probably preceded the Paleo Hebrew,
(02:50):
but then the Paleo Hebrew, which the Old Testament was
written in each letter from the first to the last,
each letter also has a meaning. Now let me just
prove this first and then I'll explain it. In twenty thirteen,
in the Haaretz news organization publication used to be a newspaper.
I guess they still have it, but of course now
(03:12):
it's online ha Aretz, which means in Hebrew, it means
the land, and it speaks it means the land of Israel,
the nation of Israel.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Aretz.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
But they are like the New York Times of Israel,
and they wrote a huge article in twenty thirteen called
the Hebrew the.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Amazing Hebrew language. I think it's all in my book.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
I've got it referenced in exactness there, but I quote
it where it says one of the amazing things about
the Hebrew alphabet is that every single letter has attached
to it a meaning that have been used since the
most ancient of times. And they say, they honestly say, look,
you don't need to know this in order to read
(03:54):
Hebrew or write Hebrew, or to use it. You don't
need but it's really nice to know. Now here's what
they mean. It's like in the English, if we're texting,
we can use a letter to say something like if
you're texting and you put the letter K, well, what
are you saying? Well, it kind of depends on the context,
but basically you're saying okay. But it can also be
(04:16):
kind of a persnicity word like yeah, whatever, K.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
You know. So there's a letter.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
The letter V can mean victory, it can mean versus,
it can mean all these different.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Things all right now.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
But we don't have a meaning, a solid, agreed upon
meaning for every letter of the English alphabet.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
But the Hebrews do.
Speaker 4 (04:39):
They do, And so the first letter has always represented
God himself. That's why he says, I am the first
and the last. Well, he attaches himself to the last letter,
the tav, from the olivet to the top. So the
tab is shaped like a cross in the ancient Paleo.
Now what are the means? Well, the first letter aliff
(05:01):
means God himself. He's the first. Everything began with him.
The last letter it has always meant the covenant or
the mark or the sign. Now when you put those
two letters together, there's a message there. I am God
who makes the covenant with mankind through the sign of
(05:22):
the cross.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
I mean, that's what it says.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
And so so that olaf taw is important. Now here's
the cool You put those together, and in Hebrew it
it spells their word, the Hebrew word et.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
That's the sound of it.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
Alif has the kind of a sound, and the TV
has a almost like a t.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Sound to us at and kind of a tht.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
All right, Now, here's what's important about that. That word
is a Hebrew grammar marker. Now I'm not trying to
get all technical, but it's called the accusative case grammar marker.
Hebrew has it, so do fifty other languages of the world.
Now there's several hundred languages that don't have it.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
English is one of them. We don't have a grammar marker.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
Well, what does the grammar mark of the accusative case
do well? In that first verse you can hear it
now listen better as sheet ba rah eluhem. Now those
three words mean in the beginning God created, and then
there's this at better sheet barrah eluheim et. Then hashamai
(06:29):
means the heavens. That means and Haretz there's the name
of that newspaper at Israel. It means the earth or
the world, okay, the land, but it really means the earth.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
It's got several different meanings.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
So so the eth is right in the middle of
and by the way, in Hebrew, see in English, that
whole first verse has ten words, but in Hebrew it
has seven. Seven seven. That's a's that's a biblical number.
That means perfect and complete. The first verse has seven
Hebrew words and dead in the middle of the seven
(07:03):
is the aleft taw. Now what does the aleft taw
do well? In Hebrew and fifty other languages. It points
the verb to the action of the verb. It lets
the speaker, of the reader or the writer know when
I use this verb. It this at points to what
that verb did. Now we don't need that. In English,
(07:23):
we use pronouns for that he did this, she did that,
or that happened here that have But in other languages
that grammar marker is important. The Hebrew people, when they speak,
they will actually speak that grammar marker. They will write
it in English. When we do an English translation of
the first verse, don't we don't include it. It doesn't
(07:45):
mean anything to us. It's unspeakable. We don't use that.
So we just say in the beginning, God created the
heavens and the earth. So those those six, six of
the seven Hebrew words in that first verse, they say
our ten words. The middle one is the grammar marker.
But we don't say it in English, but the Hebrews do. Okay,
(08:08):
I've said all that. But here's the point.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
So people will say, well, it's just a grammar marker.
Oh yeah, it's just a grammar marker.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
It's found eleven thousand times in the Old Testament, which
means there's about a thousand pages in the Old Testament
when it's in English, so that means on every page
there's an average of ten or eleven grammar markers like that.
Now that's cool. Except that's also the name that God says.
(08:35):
When you see that, that's me. I am the Aleph
and the tap Jesus says, I am the Alpha and Omega.
That's Greek written in Hebrew, spoken in Hebrew, it's I
am the I am the Alpha, I mean the Aleph
and the top.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Okay, so when you come to the first verse, if
you know.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
All of this, you cannot dismiss that as a mere
grammar marker. As a matter of fact, the Orthodox Hebrews
ancient and modern, and I've got all everything I'm saying
is reference to my book from from top notch scholarships.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
I just want your.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
Audience to know I'm not making this up. I'm not
pulling it out of my back pocket. But even modern scholars,
Hebrew scholars, Hebrew experts, Orthodox people that don't even believe
in Yushua, they will tell you that out of the
eleven thousand grammar markers, that there are a couple of
thousand that don't serve the function as a grammar marker.
(09:36):
I mean the heat the Orthodox Hebrews that's speaking for
their They will tell you this, and the Rabbi say,
you know, we.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
Don't know what why it's there.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
But all I can say, all we can say, and
one I have one rabbi telling this, all I can
say is there must be something deeply spiritual to it. Well,
because they know that that grammar marker is useful, it's
an important part of their language. But it also spells
out I am the Cross. I excuse me, I am
(10:10):
God who makes the covenant with you. Now they don't
go into, you know, on the cross, because they will
deny that Yeshua.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Is the Christ. But that's that's what it is.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
So when you have the Aleftah in the middle of that,
and in the middle of all of these other places
all over the scriptures, from Genesis to Revelation.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
When the New Testament is written in Hebrew.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
It right where they should be, right where that paragraph
or that sentence is talking about gol Gotha, either prophesying
it or describing what actually happened, all the way to.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
The use of Revelation.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Well, here's another example from Genesis. Genesis twenty two. Abraham
is ready to sacrifice his son Isaac. And then right
there we've got three tav letters showing up. And why
is the one, the middle one, the special aliftav combo.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
Well, because first of all, that is the name that
God calls himself, that's the name that Jesus calls himself,
because he's God in the flesh Emmanuel. But also because
it spells a message by itself. It says, I'm the
God who went. I am God who went to the
cross to make the covenant with you. Now, then when
(11:27):
it's in a sentence that's talking about the cross, either
prophesiding or whatever, and then you just happen to see
two other crosses, one on each side of it.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
It paints a visual picture of gol.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
Gotha, the most iconic image on the planet, with Jesus
in the middle, the Alephtah and God who is Jesus.
Listen and Zacharai twelve. God says this zachari twelve, Verse ten.
He says, and on that day you will look upon me,
says the Lord. And in English it says Lord, but
(12:02):
in Hebrew it says says Yahweh. On that day you
will look upon me whom you have pierced, but you
will mourn for him as an only son. I mean,
God himself is telling us through the prophet Zachariah that
when that great day comes of Messiah, that's me in
the flesh God with you.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
God with us Immanuel.
Speaker 4 (12:27):
So that's what's so important about that eth. Now, again,
just if I was an Orthodox Jewish person that just
didn't believe Yeshua is the Messiah and savior of the world,
it's still important. I mean, that's a part of their
language to determine what the verb is doing in the
way their Senate structures are.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
So it is.
Speaker 4 (12:48):
Important, you know, And there's kind of an attachment. I mean,
all things hold together in Yeshua. Paul writes all things
hold together in Him, and boy, that's a deep top.
It goes all the way back to the first things
that God created. We can talk about that later. But
what does the ET do. It holds a sentence together.
(13:08):
The ET holds the Hebrew sentences together and points you
to the action of the verbs so that the sentence
makes sense. So, I mean, his very presence holds the
whole language together. Much less the fact that it paints
an iconic image of goll Gotha.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
So very quickly as we head into the break at
the top of the hour here Psalm I think it's
Psalm twenty two. It starts with this is Psal Old
Testament Jesus words on the cross, My God, my God,
why have you forsaken me? And again we have three
tav letters Hebrew, a Paleo Hebrew letters, three toive letters appearing.
And then if you read down the first letters of
(13:49):
a certain of certain lines, you shue his name is
hidden where.
Speaker 4 (13:55):
Well yeah, now, now what are you referring to? I
think you might be referring to the Book of Esther, perhaps,
I mean about the first letters. What you.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
Might be talking about the rabbi.
Speaker 4 (14:08):
Who found Messiah and the note that was left where
he did that.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
I'm not.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
I'm just looking at Psalm twenty two says my God,
my God, where have you forsaken me? And there are
three to letters there.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
He crosses it again.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
Yeah, yeah, I'm sorry, Yeah, no, no, no, I understand
what you're saying.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Now.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
I'm sorry. I've written so many.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
Books about different things like this that when you said
it the way you said it, I thought you were
talking about something else.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
But I get it now.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
No, No, you're right, You're absolutely right, Richard. That first
and this Zev was a part of this with me
in discovering this so I'm looking at Psalm twenty two,
one of the greatest prophecies written by King David, one
thousand years before it happened of the crucifixion. I mean,
in that he says, they stare at me, they mock
They say he saved others, save himself. They have pierced
(14:57):
my hands and my feet. They gamble for my clothing
and the inferences under my feet. I thirst, my tongue
sticks to the roof of my mouth. I can see
all of my bones, My bones are out of joint.
And they mock me, and they stare at me. And
I mean, he's describing. How could David have known this
a thousand years before? He starts off talking about himself,
(15:21):
but it morphs. This is called a compound prophecy. Almost
all the prophecies of Messiah are like this. They're compounded.
And before long David's talking not something that never happened
to him. He never had his hands and feet pierced,
He never had anybody gambling for his clothing under his feet.
Nothing like this happened to him. But he's saying it
(15:41):
as though it's him. He's experiencing it. He's in a
vision state and or he's been taken into the future
and he could have been in the crowd that day.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
I mean he saw it. He describes it in Psalm
twenty two.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
But that's the only passage of scripture that Jesus quoted
on the cross, with Psalm twenty two. And he started
with the first verse and he ended with the last
verse of Psalm twenty two. Let me explain.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
He started by crying out, my God, My God, why
have you forsaken me?
Speaker 4 (16:12):
In the last few words are and why are you
so far from saving me, from delivering me.
