Alaph Thu -The Mark of Yahusha



Alaph (א) and Thu (ת)




The Aleph is a letter which began in the Cannanite pictographs letter writing as an 'Ox head' was later represented in Paleo-Hebrew (ketav ivri) as two yods and one uau. This ox head, when turned to point upward, is the modern capital “A” of our alphabet. This symbol conveys the power found in the horns of the ox, and its subsequent authority/headship. In the paleo Hebrew the Yod is a hand pointing upward and a Yod (hand) pointing downward with a uau (nail/peg) passing through it forming the Aleph alphabet.


The Paleo Hebrew (ketav ivri) became the holy script as it was given to Moses by Yahuah through mediation of angels. (Gal 3:19 & Acts 7:53)


The 'ox head' became the symbol of leadership and in meaning is distinguished from the letter resh (ר : Modern Hebrew)(Paleo Hebrew)
, from which the word rosh (as in Rosh Hashanah) is derived. Rosh denotes the first leader – the chief. The Aleph denotes the heavenly primacy; that is to say, the first position in all things and Aluahym extending himself to creation. 
The Paleo Hebrew became more dependable as the Thurah was first given to Moses written by the finger of Yahuah in Paleo Hebrew. The 'Alaph' as compared to the ox horns of the Canaanite script shows a deep spiritual meaning in 'Alaph'. The upward hand (Yod) is the invisible hand of Alahim which shows his dominion/headship/rule far above all creation and the lower hand (Yod) shows his hand extended with the uau (nail) representing his humility to save.

The Thu in Paleo Hebrew was a mark that amounts to the crossing of two sticks to form an “t” of some sort, and hence Alaph Thu is the mark of Yahusha as he was pierced for our sins and hung on the stake.


The pictographs have a deep spiritual meaning embedded in them.

The Tau is expressly declared to be a mark of salvation in the will of Yahuah. 

 I urge readers to depend on Yahusha to teach you the deep hidden mysteries embedded in his word. For the benefit of readers I will paste a chart of the comparison chart of Cannanite, Paleo Hebrew and the Modern Hebrew so that reader can see and learn by himself/herself. Below is the chart.




From the chart above you can see the ancient Canaanite script wrote the Aleph as an ox head with horns and paleo hebrew (form Middle) wrote it with two Yods and one Uau.

Similarly the Thu is written in the Canaanite script as a cross and the Paleo Hebrew also shows the cross signature.

Ezekiel 9:4 Yahuah יְהֹוָה said אָמַר to him, Go through עָבַר the midst תָּוֶךְ of the city עִיר, through the midst תָּוֶךְ of Yerushalayim יְרוּשָׁלַם, and set תָּוָה a mark תָּ upon the foreheads מֵצַח of the men אֱנוֺשׁ that sigh אָנַח and that cry אָנַק for all the abominations תּוֹעֵבָה that be done עָשָׂה in the midst תָּוֶךְ thereof.

Now the word “mark” that is found in this passage is in the Hebrew Thu (ת). All those who were found in Yerushalayim without this “mark” were slain. The mark – the Thu – is the mark of salvation; a mark of protection.


The Alaph is the first letter of the Hebrew Alaph-Bet (alphabet), and the Thu is the last letter. 

The Alaph Thu is found more than 7,000 times in the original Hebrew. It's in the very first verse of Aluahym's word.





Ge 1:1 ¶ In the beginning Aluahym created the Alaph Thu heaven and uau Alaph Thu the earth.

If you notice the English cannot translate the Alaph Thu and translates it as 'eth' (Alaph Thu)
 before hashamayim (heavens) and 'w'eth' (uau Aleph Tav) before haarets (earth)

Hebrew is read from right to left. Strongs word for Alaph Thu is H853 'eth'and the meaning is given as 'UNREPRESENTED IN ENGLISH'.



Gen 1:1  בראשׁיתH7225  בראH1254  אלהיםH430  אתH853  השׁמיםH8064  ואתH853  הארץ׃H776  



Alaph Thu is not translated because it is not understood by carnal mind.



The emissary Yahuchanan (John) spoke and understood Hebrew so no way Yahusha would have said that he is Alpha and the Omega which is the Greek translation of 'Alaph Thu' and dilutes the meaning and the representation. We will see the usage of Alaph Thu in many places in OT and see how it is the mark/covering of Yahusha's ownership on his people. We will also see the mark of Cain which also has the Alaph Thu but with a nail in the middle which was a 'SIGN' and we will see the usage of that word as well as in the mark of the beast.



Gen 1:1 when translated correctly it would read ' In the beginning Aluahym created, alaph thu (marked it with the mark of Yahusha), the heavens and alaph thu, the earth.



Col 1:16 For by him (Yahusha) were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:



Now let's read what happened with Jericho (Yericho). Throughout the study I will be quoting verses in the English and Hebrew to show the usage of the words 'Alaph Thu'



Jos 6:5 And it shall come to pass, that when they make a long blast with the ram's horn, and when ye hear ALAPH THU the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall down flat, and the people shall ascend up every man straight before him

5. w’hayah bim’shok b’qeren hayobel b’sham’`akem ‘eth-qol hashophar yari`u kal-ha`am t’ru`ah g’dolah w’naph’lah chomath ha`ir tach’teyah w’`alu ha`am ‘ish neg’do. 



Jos 6:5  והיהH1961  במשׁךH4900  בקרןH7161  היובלH3104  בשׁמעכםH8085  אתH853  קולH6963  השׁופרH7782  יריעוH7321  כלH3605  העםH5971  תרועהH8643  גדולהH1419  ונפלהH5307  




Now let's look at book of Ruth. In the first three chapters Ruth's name is never preceeded with Alaph Thu. In Chapter 4 Boaz tells Elimelech he must redeem Ruth but when he is not able to redeem Ruth, so Boaz redeems her.



Ru 4:9 ¶ And Boaz said unto the elders, and unto all the people, Ye are witnesses this day, that I have bought all that was Elimelech's, and all that was Chilion's and Mahlon's, of the hand of Naomi.
 10 Moreover (ALAPH THU) Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Mahlon, have I purchased to be my wife, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance, that the name of the dead be not cut off from among his brethren, and from the gate of his place: ye are witnesses this day.

Rth 4:9. wayo’mer Bo`az laz’qenim w’kal-ha`am `edim ‘atem hayom ki qanithi ‘eth-kal-‘asher le’Elimelek w’eth kal-‘asher l’Kil’yon uMach’lon miyad Na`ami.

Rth 4:9  ויאמרH559  בעזH1162  לזקניםH2205  וכלH3605  העםH5971  עדיםH5707  אתםH859  היוםH3117  כיH3588  קניתיH7069  אתH853  כלH3605  אשׁרH834  לאלימלךH458  ואתH853  כלH3605  אשׁרH834  לכליוןH3630  ומחלוןH4248  מידH3027  נעמי׃H5281

After Ruth is redeemed there is an Alaph Thu preceeding her name in the final two places her name is mentioned. Please read Ruth 4:10 and Ruth 4:13.



Both Easu and Jacob have the Alaph Thu before the trading of birthright was done. Also the birthright has got Alaph Thu before it. The Alaph Thu was blotted out from Esau while is continued to remain with Jacob.



Ge 25:28 And Isaac loved (Alaph Thu) Esau, because he did eat of his venison: but Rebekah loved (Alaph Thu) Jacob

Gen 25: 28. waye’hab Yits’chaq ‘eth-`Esaw ki-tsayid b’phiu w’Rib’qah ‘ohebeth ‘eth-Ya`aqob.  



Gen 25:28  ויאהבH157  יצחקH3327   אתH853  עשׂוH6215 (ESAU)  כיH3588  צידH6718  בפיוH6310  ורבקהH7259  אהבתH157  אתH853  יעקב׃H3290 (Yaaqob) 

Birthright: 

Ge 25:31 And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy (Alaph Thu) birthright.

Gen 25:31. wayo’mer Ya`aqob Mik’rah kayom ‘eth-b’korath’ak li.  

Gen 25:31  ויאמרH559  יעקבH3290  מכרהH4376  כיוםH3117  אתH853  בכרתך׃H1062 (birthright)

Gen 27:1 is the last time where Esau's name has an Alaph Thu when he is called whereas it continues with Jacob and with the blessing and the words of his father Isaac.

Ge 27:1 ¶ And it came to pass, that when Isaac was old, and his eyes were dim, so that he could not see, he called (alaph thu) Esau his eldest son, and said unto him, My son: and he said unto him, Behold, here am I.

Gen 27:1. way’hi ki-zaqen Yits’chaq watik’heyan `eynayu mer’oth wayiq’ra’ ‘eth-`Esaw b’no hagadol wayo’mer ‘elayu B’ni. wayo’mer ‘elayu Hinneni.

Gen 27:1  ויהיH1961  כיH3588  זקןH2204  יצחקH3327  ותכהיןH3543  עיניוH5869  מראתH7200  ויקראH7121(called)  אתH853 (aleph tav)  עשׂוH6215 (Esau)  בנוH1121  הגדלH1419  ויאמרH559  אליוH413  בניH1121  

 Ge 27:30 ¶ And it came to pass, as soon as Isaac had made an end of blessing (Alaph Thu) Jacob, and Jacob was yet scarce gone out from the (Alaph Thu)presence  of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came in from his hunting.

Gen 27:30. way’hi ka’asher kilah Yits’chaq l’barek ‘eth-Ya`aqob way’hi ‘ak yatso’ yatsa’ Ya`aqob me’eth p’ney Yits’chaq ‘abiu w’`Esaw ‘achiu ba’ mitseydo.

Gen 27:30  ויהיH1961  כאשׁרH834  כלהH3615  יצחקH3327  לברךH1288  אתH853 (alaph thu) יעקבH3290 (Yaqoob)  ויהיH1961  אךH389  יצאH3318  יצאH3318  יעקבH3290 (Yaqoob)  אתH853 (Alaph Thu)   פניH6440 (presence) יצחקH3327 (Esau)  אביוH1  ועשׂוH6215  אחיוH251  באH935  מצידו׃H6718  

Ge 27:34 And when Esau heard the words(dabary) (Alaph Thu) of his father, he cried with a great and exceeding bitter cry, and said unto his father, Bless me, even me also, O my father.

Gen 27: 34. kishmo`a `Esaw ‘eth-dib’rey ‘abiu wayits’`aq ts’`aqah g’dolah umarah `ad-m’od. wayo’mer l’abiu Barakeni gam-’ani ‘abi.  

Esau realized what he lost and sought repentance but did not find it.

Ge 27:41 ¶ And Esau hated (Alaph Thu) Jacob because of the blessing wherewith his father blessed him: and Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father are at hand; then will I slay my brother Jacob.

Gen 27:41. wayistom `Esaw ‘eth-Ya`aqob `al-hab’rakah ‘asher berako ‘abiu. wayo’mer `Esaw b’libo yiq’r’bu y’mey ‘ebel ‘abi. w’ahar’gah ‘eth-Ya`aqob ‘achi.

Gen 27:41  וישׂטםH7852  עשׂוH6215  אתH853 (alaph thu)  יעקבH3290 (Yaqoob)  עלH5921  הברכהH1293  אשׁרH834  ברכוH1288  אביוH1  ויאמרH559  עשׂוH6215  בלבוH3820  יקרבוH7126  ימיH3117  אבלH60  אביH1  ואהרגהH2026  אתH853  יעקבH3290  אחי׃H251  

So we see Alaph Thu was a mark of headship and redemption i.e. a mark of Yahusha on his people. 

Alaph Thu in Gen 1

Let there be light:

Gen 1:3  And Aluahym H430 said,H559 Let there beH1961 light:H216 and there wasH1961 light.H216 

Gen 1:4  And Aluahym H430 saw H7200 (את H853) the light,H216 that H3588 it was good:H2896 and Aluhym H430 divided H914 H996 the light H216 from H996 the darkness.H2822 

2Co 4:6 For Aluahym, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of Aluahym in the face of Yahusha the Messiah.

The light was a mark of the knowledge of the glory of Aluahym in the face of Yahusha. 

Dividing waters from waters:

Ge 1:7 And Aluhym made (Alaph Thu) the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.

We have seen in spiritual comparison that the waters under the firmament speaks of the present earth which is immersed in the waters of Aluahym's wrath and the waters above the firmament speaks of the new earth standing out of the waters of Aluahym's wrath where elect stand on the sea of transperency.

 2Pe 3:5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of Aluahym the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:

Re 15:2 And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of Aluahym.


Two great lights: Sun and moon

Ge 1:16 And Aluahym made (Alaph Thu) two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.

We can read in Gen 1 when Aluahym made everything he marked creation with Yahusha's mark. Making creation subject to vanity with the hope of redemption by Yahusha.

Ro 8:20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,

We won't go through all the passages to see this due to lack of time. 

Mark of Cain:

Cain had the Alaph Thu on his name. Qayin (kay'n) means 'acquired', 'possession', 'spear'. The context of the verse defines why Eve named him Kay'n and she says she 'ACQUIRED A MAN' from Yahuah. So 'acquired a man' is what his name means. The sciptures is it's own dictionary. 


Gen 4:1  And Adam H121 knewH3045 (H853) Eve H2332 his wife;H802 and she conceived,H2029 and bareH3205 (H853) (Alaph Thu) Cain,H7014 and said,H559 I have gottenH7069 a manH376 from H854 (Alaph Thu) the Yahuah.H3068

Gen 4:1. w’ha’adam yada` ‘eth-Chauwah ‘ish’to watahar wateled ‘eth-Qayin wato’mer Qanithi ‘ish ‘eth-Yahúwah.

Gen 4:1  והאדםH120  ידעH3045  אתH853  חוהH2332  אשׁתוH802  ותהרH2029  ותלדH3205  אתH853  קיןH7014 (Cain) ותאמרH559  קניתיH7069  אישׁH376  אתH854  יהוה׃H3068.

Gen 4:15  And the Yahuah said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And Yahuah set a mark (owth : Alaph Uau Thu) upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.

Gen 4:15  ויאמרH559  לו  יהוהH3068  לכןH3651  כלH3605  הרגH2026  קיןH7014  שׁבעתיםH7659  יקםH5358  וישׂםH7760  יהוהH3068  לקיןH7014  אותH226  לבלתיH1115  הכותH5221  אוֺת H226 כלH3605  מצאו׃H4672  



Hebrew word for mark of Cain is 'owth: alaph uau thu' which means 'SIGN'/'TOKEN' and is used in connection to the previous Alaph Thu.

Where do we find the previous Alaph Thu? Let's view the verses again:


Gen 4:14  Behold, thou hast driven me out H853: את Alaph Thu this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me.

Gen 4:15  And Yahuah said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And Yahuah set a mark (אוֺת H226 ) upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.

The word translated as 'mark' in Gen 4:15 is the Alaph Thu with a 'uau' (nail) in it which connects it to the previous Alaph Thu of Gen 4:14 which is just before 'this day'. What does this mean? Cain tells Yahuah that he has driven Cain from Yahuah's face 'THIS DAY' from the face of the earth and this means he has no more salvation for him.


'This day' is in present tense indicating while salvation was still available. It means while salvation is still available Cain will never attain it as he is cursed as a wanderer. Yahuah placed a 'wanderer' mark on him. The 'Aleph Uau Tav' connects to the previous Aleph Tav which shows him being cut off THIS DAY. That is his sign or token and to all who walk in his way.


Jude 1:11 Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.


Let's see another example of the connecting alaph thu which is the 'Uau Alaph Thu'


Num 26:59  And the name of Amram's wife was Jochebed, the daughter of Levi, whom her mother bare to Levi in Egypt: and she bare unto Amram אתH853 Aaron and וֺאת Moses, and וֺאת Miriam their sister.





The Uau Alaph Thu before Moses and Miriam is used as a 'connector' to the 'Alaph Thu' before Aaron tying them to 'Jochebed and Amram's children'. Only Aaron has the Alaph Thu before his name and Moses and Miriam are connected to the Alaph Thu of Aaron. The ''Uau Alaph Thu'' is different than the ''Alaph Uau Thu'' (owth) as seen in Cain's mark.

 Isn't this wonderful? The English unfortunately translates the 'uau alaph thu' as 'AND' which is a 'conjunction'.

* Conjunctions are connectors

Another example: Gen 1:1



Gen 1:1  In the beginning Alahim created the אתH853 heaven ואתH853  and the earth.


There is 'uau alaph thu' before the earth which connects it to the alaph thu before the heaven which Yahuah marked when creating them. The 'uau alaph thu' is translated as 'and' which is incorrect.


While the 'Uau Aleph Tav' shows us the connection to the previous 'Alaph Thu' the ówth' (alaph uau thu) actually spiritually shows the blotting out of Cain from 'the book of life 'when he murdered his brother Abel (which means breath) and Aluahym set the Alaph Thu with a 'nail' of judgment on Cain. Thus it read Alaph-uau (nail)-Thu

Waw (wāw, also vau or uau) is the sixth letter of the Northwest Semitic family of scripts, including Phoenician, Aramaic, Hebrew, Syriac, and Arabic ("sixth" in abjadi order (An abjad is a type of writing system where each symbol always or usually stands for a consonant, leaving the reader to supply the appropriate vowel); it is 27th in modern Arabic order). In Arabic and thus in most Semitic languages it represents the sound [u].Uau literally means hook/peg/spear. ו (Modern Hebrew)(Paleo Hebrew)




Gen 4:15 Yahuah יְהֹוָה said אָמַר to him, Therefore כֵּן whosoever slays הָרַג Qayin קַיִן, vengeance shall be taken נָקַם on him sevenfold שִׁבְעָתַיִם. And Yahuah יְהֹוָה setשׂוּם a mark אוֺת upon Qayin קַיִן, lest בִּלְתִּי any finding מָצָא him should kill נָכָה him. 

The 'Nail' between the 'Aleph' and 'Tav' in 'Owth' here is like a nail fastened for judgment connecting him to being cut off from 'THIS DAY'. That's what it spiritually means.

Usage of 'owth'


In Genesis Chapter 1


Ge 1:14 ¶ And Aluahym said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs (אוֺת), and for seasons, and for days, and years:


The 'Alaph Uau Thu' in Gen 1:14 is connected to the Alaph Thu before the firmament in Gen 1:7


Ge 1:7 And Aluahym made the אתH853 firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.


The 'signs' were related to the firmament


 Re 6:12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;


Re 8:12 And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise.


 Mt 16:3 And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowring. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?


While Aluahym set the 'signs' those in the way of Kayin (Cain) see literal signs in the sun, moon and stars and are deceived into a literal carnal following of the sun & moon without understanding their darkening or a blood moon sign.

Aluahym set the lights to divide the day from the night as signs. The sign of the Sun darkening, moon turning into blood and the stars falling. His 'nail' mark fastened it and will judge and show the divide asunder/separation. These are all spiritual things and hence can only be understood when compared spiritual vs spiritual.


As you can see from the spiritual comparison the 'nail' in 'owth' shows the relation to judgment, sun which was shining bright is now darkened as the sack cloth


Covenant of the bow


Ge 9:11 And I will establish אתH853 my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.

 12 ¶ And Aluahym said, This is the token (אוֺת)of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:
 13 I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token (אוֺת) of a covenant between me and the earth.

The token of the covenant in verse 12 and verse 13 is related to the Alaph Thu 'established covenant' in verse 11


The token of covenant of bow was a reminder that Yahuah will no longer destroy the earth (a covenant with the elect as he will masha (draw out) them out) with the floods and yet he has reserved the 'nail' of his judgment to drown all those carnal in the waters of his wrath when he divided the waters from the waters.


Rev 4:3 And He that sat was to look upon like a jasper stone and a sardine: and there was a rainbow around the throne, in sight like an emerald.

  
A quick recap of Alaph and Thu: 

Alaph speaks of the the divine mystery of Aluahym in headship of Yahusha (the ox mark), and in Thu the mark of salvation.

The mark of the 'Way of Cain' is a distortion of the headship of Messiah and his salvation. 'A false brother murdering a true brother way'. 
Aluahym dispersed it in confusion so that hearing they will hear and not understand. That's why we see so many different besorah's (gospels) floating in this world.

In a spiritual comparison the Alaph Uau Thu is connected to Alaph Thu used previously and when in connection to judgment its like the Stigma/sign/mark (a way of Cain which distorts the mystery of Aluahym revealed in the headship of Messiah and his redemption) 


There is a similar connection found in the name David (דוד). Here the dalet (meaning the door or doorway) is connected to the dalet (again the door) by means of the uau (the nail). 


Ac 15:14 Simeon hath declared how Aluahym at the first did visit the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name.

 15 And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written,

 16 After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and I will build again the ruins thereof, and I will set it up:

 17 That the residue of men might seek after Yahuah, and all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, saith Yahuah, who doeth all these things.



The doorway/tabernacle of David which stood fell physically, the promised Messiah who would come from his seed to whom David's throne was promised, he would build again the ruins into a spiritual temple/tabernacle.



Hence Dalet uau Dalet where 'uau' (nail) acts as the connector of the two covenants. The Yahudi tabernacle was brought down by the nail of Yahuah's judgment and was raised up by the Messiah into a spiritual tabernacle.

Circumcision:


Ge 17:11 And ye shall אתH853 circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token (אוֺת) of the covenant betwixt me and you.


The token of the covenant was in connection to the 'Alaph Thu circumcise' used in the same verse. The token of the covenant connects to the 'Circumsion'. We know that Aluahym's word is spiritual and the physical stood as a sign or token of the circumsicion of the heart. The 'nail' in the token as a 'connector' actually would distinguish between the carnal Yahudi's and the spiritual Yahudi's.


While the carnal chase after the token/sign/mark the spiritual see fulfillment in Mashiyach in it and rest in him. The carnal occupy themselves in a works besorah (gospel).

Ro 2:28 For he is not a Yahudi, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:

 29 But he is a Yahudi, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of Aluahym.

Mediators of the Covenant:


Ex 3:12 And he said, Certainly I will be with thee; and this shall be a token(אוֺת) unto thee, that I have sent thee: When thou hast brought forth the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve Aluahym upon this mountain.


Ex 3:11 ¶ And Moses said unto Aluahym, Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth אתH853 the children of Israel out of Egypt?


The 'token' (alaph uau thu) given to Moses are the 'children of Israel' who he will mediate for. Isn't this wonderful?


The carnal seek after a literal tribe, boast in their carnal heritage but the spiritual see the complete body of Mashiyach forming the 12 tribes.

Philc3:4 although I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinks that he has whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more: 
Phil3:5 circumcised the eighth day, of the nation of Yisrael, of the tribe of Benyamin, a Hebrew of the Hebrews; as to the Law, a Pharisee;
Phil3:6 as to zeal, a persecutor of the assembly; as to the righteousness which is in the Law, blameless
Phil3:7 But what things were gain to me, those things I have counted loss for the Mashiyach.   

Heb 8:6 ¶ But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he (Yahusha) is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.


Moses mediated the law to Israel which is spiritual but the 'nail' seperated the carnal from the spiritual Yahudi's when Yahusha defined the law of the Spirit of life. Again we see the mark of the nail in Alaph Thu as a connector between two covenants and two Mediators of the Covenant.


The first covenant was done away with because 'they continued not in his covenant' because they took it carnally.


 Heb 8:9 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith Yahuah


Signs in Egypt:


Ex 4:8 And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe thee, neither hearken to the voice of the first sign (אוֺת), that they will believe the voice of the latter sign (אוֺת).

 9 And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe also these two signs (אוֺת), neither hearken unto thy voice, that thou shalt take of the water of the river, and pour it upon the dry land: and the water which thou takest out of the river shall become blood upon the dry land.

Ex 3:21 And I will give this people favour in the sight of the Egyptians: and it shall come to pass, that, when ye go, ye shall not go empty:

 22 But every woman shall borrow of her neighbour, and of her that sojourneth in her house, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment: and ye shall put them upon your sons, and upon your daughters; and ye shall spoil אתH853 the Egyptians.

The 'alaph uau thu' before the signs in Exodus 4:8 & 9 are connected to the alaph thu before the Egyptians whom the Israelites would spoil.


Ex 4:17 And thou shalt take this rod in thine hand, wherewith thou shalt do signs (אוֺת)


When we compare the plagues in Egypt with the plagues mentioned in the book of Revelation we see a 'nail' fastened between the physical and the spiritual. Each sign had a spiritual meaning in it which we will not go deep into for lack of time.


Re 11:8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Master was crucified.


Judgment of Ordinances:


Ordinances were spiritual just as the law is spiritual but man is carnal and is a slave of sin.


Ex 12:13 And the blood shall be to you for a token (אוֺת) upon the houses where ye are: and when I see  Alaph Thu (את)the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.


The token (alaph uau thu) of the blood upon the houses was tied to the flesh of the lamb in Ex 12:8 they would eat to get the life


Ex 12:7 And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat it.

 8 And they shall eat אתH853 the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs they shall eat it.

Joh 6:54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.


Man without understanding the spiritual behind the letter was so engrossed in observing the letter that he was killed by it. 


Ex 13:16 And it shall be for a token (אוֺת) upon thine hand, and for frontlets between thine eyes: for by strength of hand Yahuah brought us forth out of Egypt.


Ex 13:10 Thou shalt therefore keep אתH853 this ordinance in his season from year to year.


The token in verse 16 i.e. the alaph uau thu is connected to the ordinance of Passover when they would eat only Unleavened bread. An outward token verses the token of Yahuah writing the law on the minds and hearts.


 Heb 8:10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith Yahuah; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a Aluahym, and they shall be to me a people:


1Co 5:7 ¶ Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Messiah our passover is sacrificed for us:


Sabbath a literal day versus the Rest in Yahusha:


Ex 31:13 Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my Alaph Thu (את) sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign (אוֺת) between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am Yahuah that doth sanctify you.


The sign (alaph uau thu) is connected to the sabbaths in the same verse


Ex 31:17 It is a sign (אוֺת) between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days Yahuah made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.


Heb 4:8 For if Yahusha (Joshua) had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.

 9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of Aluahym.
10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as Aluahym did from his.

The carnal are so occupied with the Day observance without understanding and seeing the historical standpoint of Yasharal when they were in captivity and how their new moons, sabbaths and muaedim ceased and they do not see the spiritual signs because they are busy occupied in buying and selling a blood moon calendar of Babylon.

There is so much usage of this word 'owth' in the Old Testament which we cannot look into all the passages where it's used but what's important to know is that Yahuah placed this 'nail' as a 'Stigma'/'Sign'/'Mark' for connecting it to the previous alaph thu which in judgment showed separating the wheat and the tares. The Way of Cain has also got this 'Stigma' and this is the distinguishing mark which identifies the carnal and the spiritual children of Abraham.


The mark of the beast has got a 'Stigma' in it and all those not marked by 'Aleph Tav' (mark of Yahusha) are blotted out from the scroll of life just as the Greek renders XX in the Chi (X) Xi (X) Stigma (Scar) which is the mark of the beast as stated in Rev 13:18. The Alaph and Thu are blotted out.



The Way of Cain is Mystery Babylon. But it doesn't mean that his physical lineage would be part of it. Mystery Babylon is a spiritual kingdom. You may look up the passages which show that 'Alaph Thu ' mark continued even on Cain's seed.



Example: Gen 4:17  And Cain H7014 knew H3045 (H853)Alaph Thu his wife; H802 and she conceived,H2029 and bare H3205 (H853) Alaph Thu Enoch: H2585 and he builded H1961 H1129 a city, H5892 and called H7121 the name H8034 of the city,H5892 after the name H8034 of his son, H1121 Enoch. H2585 .

This shows the mercy of Yahuah that he doesn't impute the sin of the father to his children. Just as sons of Korah who who were elect and wrote some Pslams which we have today whereas their father was swallowed alive in the heart of the earth for rebellion.


Finally

Rev 7:1-3 And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree. 2 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living Aluahym and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea, 3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our Aluahym in their foreheads.

In Ezekiel we see a mark being set on the foreheads of those who would be spared, and the mark was the Thu – the sign of the two crossed sticks as the 't'. Here, at the end of the age, we see a seal being fixed – the seal of the living Aluahym – on the foreheads of those who would be spared the damnation that follows. 

Rev 22:13-14 I am the Alaph Thu; the beginning and the end, the first and the last. 14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life and may enter in through the gates into the city.


Those who are marked of Yahusha know and understand what the mark of the beast is and they are the ones having the mind of wisdom.


Lastly Alaph is two Yods and one uau. This is very significant. Yod means hand and uau means nail. In the letter Alaph, the upper hand is the hidden hand of Aluahym, the lower hand is the revealed hand of Aluahym. The Thu is also a cross sticks symbol which appeared as letter 't' so Alaph Thu signifies Yahusha on the Stake/Tree, the arm of Yahuah nailed to deliver us. 


Shalum to all those who see the difference between the mark of Yahuah and the mark of the beast.
