Tau Aleph -'Taa'

In our previous study 'Aleph Tau-The mark of Yahusha' we saw the ancient paleo Hebrew pictographs and meanings of Aleph which is head/leader and Tau which means mark/signature 

Aleph has a pictograph of two hands with a nail passing through the hands
Tau has a pictograph of a Cross and hence the pictographs reveals the head/leader nailed on the cross.

The Aleph Tav is found more than 7000 times in the original Hebrew. It's in the very first verse of Alahim's word. We saw the Aleph Tau mark in the very first verse of the Bible Gen 1:1 and how the creation and Alahim's people had the Aleph Tau before their names. We saw the Aleph Tau distinguishing the people of Alahim from those damned by the nail of judgment in between the Aleph Tau as in the mark of Cain which Strongs translates the Aleph Uau Tau as 'owth'.

We saw the usage of 'Aleph Uau Tau' in the elements which Alahim made to distinguish spiritual from the natural. For examples: light from darkness,waters above from waters beneath, signs in firmament (the sign of the Sun darkening, moon turning into blood and the stars falling. His 'nail' mark fastened which will judge and show the divide asunder), token of the covenant i.e. the bow in the cloud which distinguishes the covenant with Yisharal from the external covenant with all creatures, circumcision of flesh vs circumcision of the heart, mediator of the former covenant  vs mediator of the renewed covenant, ordinances etc.

We see Yahusha claiming to be the Aleph Tau and when Yahuchanan turned to see whose voice it was, he saw the Son of Man saying this

Rev1:8 “I am behold the Aleph Tau the beginning and the ending, says Yahuah Alahim Shaddai, who is and who was and who is to come.”

Finally we saw the ALEPH-BET from where we get our English word 'Alphabet' containing the Aleph the first letter and Tau the last letter spelling out the language of Alahim revealing himself in the spirit of prophecy which brings life to those who hear and understand his words. You may refer to my study on my blog 'Ahba and the Aleph-Bet' for better understanding.

Hebrew reads from right to left which is to show us the law of liberty through the MIRROR of Alahim's word.




When you read this image from left to right we get a word 'Tau Aleph' and in this short study we will see the relation of the usage of this word and what it means.

'Tau-Aleph' forms the word 'Taa' which means 'little chamber'. The Alpeh-BeT which reaches out to mankind through the spirit of prophecy causes those who are chosen by his grace (vessels of honor) to be bring the message of the little chamber and to guard it.

1Ki14:25 Now it happened in the fifth year of King Rechaboam, that Shushaq the king of Egypt came up against Yerushalam.  
1Ki14:26 He took away Aleph Tau treasures of the house of Yahuah and Aleph Tau treasures of the king’s house, and he took Aleph Tau everything, even taking all Aleph Tau shields of gold which Sholomoh had made. 

Egypt from where Yisharal came out in glory taking from them treasures thus spoiling them has now come in to take a spoil for themselves from Yisharal. This king of Egypt takes away all the treasures of the house of Yahuah, all the treasures of the kings house and all the shields which Solomon had made. Notice the treasures have the Aleph Tau before them signifying the vessels of honor going into captivity.

 Ex 3:22 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 the Egyptians

This evil fell on them because of the abominations of the house of Yahudah by which they provoked Yahuah.

1Ki 14:22 And Yahudah did evil in the sight of Yahuah, and they provoked him to jealousy with their sins which they had committed, above all that their fathers had done.
 23 For they also built them high places, and images, and groves, on every high hill, and under every green tree.
 24 And there were also sodomites in the land: and they did according to all the abominations of the nations which Yahuah cast out before the children of Israel.

King Rehoboam made shields of bronze in their place and made shields of bronze and committed them to the care of the commanders of the runners

1Ki 14:27 So King Rehoboam made shields of bronze in their place, and committed them to the care of the commanders of behold the runners (Hebrew word: ratsim) who kept the doorway of the king’s house

1Kings 14:28. way’hi midey-bo’ hamelek beyth Yahúwah yisa’um ha ratsim weheshibum ‘el-ta’ ha ratsim

1Ki 14:28 Then it was so, when the king went into the house of Yahuah, that behold the runners bore them and brought them back into Al's little chamber (Hebrew word :Taa) by behold the runners

These runners were messengers who bore these shields when the king went into the house of Yahuah and brought them back. They were guards of the little chamber where the treasures of the house of Yahuah were kept.

2Sa 18:19 ¶ Then said Ahimaaz the son of Zadok, Let me now run (Hebrew: rutsah), and bear the king tidings, how that Yahuah hath avenged him of his enemies.
 20 And Joab said unto him, Thou shalt not bear tidings this day, but thou shalt bear tidings another day: but this day thou shalt bear no tidings, because the king's son is dead.

The Hebrew word 'rutsah' is from 'ratsim'. These runners are symbolic of those appointed by the king to bring tidings good and evil tidings of what would/had befallen to Yisharal. While this word is used commonly for 'run' as in running the usage of this word in 1 Kings 14:27-28  & 2 Sam 18:19-20 shows that there were guards known as runners carrying a message unto the king or from him.

Few other examples:

Jer51:31 A runner (ratsim) shall run to meet a runner (ratsim), and a messenger to meet a messenger, to announce to the king of Babylon that his city has been captured from end to end;

Jer23:21 I did not send the prophets, but they ran (rutsah). I did not speak to them, but they prophesied. 

Ps147:15 He sends forth His command to the earth; His word (dabar) runs (rutsah) very swiftly

Es 8:14 So the runners (ratsim) that rode upon mules and camels went out, being hastened and pressed on by the king's commandment. And the decree was given at Shushan the palace.

The runners spiritually stand for those who guard the treasures of the little chamber and carry the message of the little chamber.

The shields of bronze they carried to the house of Yahuah when the king went up was a reminder that Yahuah is a shield to his people.

Ge 15:1 ¶ After these things the word of Yahuah came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.

De 33:29 Happy art thou, O Israel: who is like unto thee, O people saved by Yahuah the shield of thy help, and who is the sword of thy excellency! and thine enemies shall be found liars unto thee; and thou shalt tread upon their high places

Ps 3:3 But thou, O Yahuah art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.

The shields of gold were carried away by the king of Egypt but Rehoboam made shields of brass. Was Rehoboam fulfilling prophecy?

In 25th year of Yisharal's captivity Ezekiel in his vision saw a man whose appearance was like the appearance of bronze with a line of flax and a measuring rod in his hand. He was standing in the gateway. 

Eze40:3 So He brought me there; and behold, there was a man whose appearance was like the appearance of bronze, with a line of flax and a measuring rod in his hand; and he was standing in the gateway. 

Eze 40:4 The man said to me, Son of man, see with your eyes, hear with your ears, and set your heart to all that I shall show you. For in order to show you, you have been brought here. Declare to the house of Yisrael all that you see.
Eze 40:5 And behold, there was a wall on the outside of the house all around, and in the man’s hand was a measuring rod of six cubits, with a cubit and a span. So he measured the thickness of the building, one rod; and the height, one rod
Eze 40:6 Then he went to the gate which faced the eastward, went up its steps and measured the threshold of the gate, one rod in width; and one threshold was one rod in width. 
Eze 40:7 And a LITTLE CHAMBER (TAA) was one rod long and one rod wide; and there were five cubits between the LITTLE CHAMBERS (TAA). And the threshold of the gate from beside the porch of the gate, from the house, was one rod.  

The shield of bronze had come out himself from his little chamber to measure his temple for all the treasures of the little chamber was carried away by the king of Egypt. The treasures stand symbolic for Messiah and his people.

Rev11:8 And their ( two witness: truthful witness) dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Master was crucified.  

2Tim 2:20 Now in a large house there are not only gold and silver vessels, but also vessels of wood and of earthenware, and some to honor and some to dishonor.
2Tim 2:21 If anyone therefore cleanses Aleph Tau himself from these things, he shall be a vessel for honor, sanctified, useful to the Master, prepared for every good work.  

9 times in Ezekiel 40 Alahim uses the word 'TAA' for little chambers and shows the dimensions of it as measured by the Messenger whose appearance was as Bronze. You may read it in Eze 40:7,10,12,13,16,21,29,33,36.

While the Aleph Tau shows the span of who is marked by distinguishing the natural from the spiritual and cannot be measured the Tau Aleph shows the bringing back of that marked span into measuring and gathering them back.




This was how the secret chambers looked in the temple:




Tau Aleph (Taa) can be seen in the Hebrew word 'Taa utah' translated as Pleasant/Delight/Desire both in the positive and negative sense. The 'Desire' shown by mankind determines the work of Alahim in mankind in measuring them up to their rise or to their fall.



Ge 3:6 ¶ And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant (Tau Aleph Uau Hay) to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.




Pslams 10:17 Desire (Tau Aleph Uau Hay) of the humble you have heard O Yahuah , You shall strengthen their heart and incline your ear

While the Aleph Tau shows the eternal purpose of Alahim the Tau Aleph shows the purpose of Alahim fulfilled. Mankind acts according to the pre-determined counsel of Alahim and it's wrong to think that Alahim sees how man would react to him and based on man's action would save him or damn him.

'Taautah' (Desire) : Tau (Mark) Aleph (Leader) Uau (secured as in nail) Hay (Behold) in pictographs means 'Mark of the Leader secured behold'.





Gen 49:26 The blessings of your father have surpassed the blessings of my ancestors up to the DESIRE (Taa utah) of the everlasting hills; may they be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of the one distinguished among his brothers


Yaqoob in prophesying what will befall Yisharal in the last days prophesies about Yoseph in letting him know that the blessing of his father Yaqoob surpassed the blessing of his ancestors upto the desire of the everlasting hills and may this blessing be on the head of Yoseph and that it would distinguish him from his brothers. This DESIRE of everlasting hills blessing is a Sojourner blessing, a surety of a heavenly city whose maker and builder is Alahim. This Desire of everlasting hills will be in all those chosen by Alahim to draw close to him.

While the elect desire for the everlasting hills the ungodly LUST for evil things of the world.

Nu 11:4 ¶ And the mixt multitude that was among them fell a lusting: and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat?
 5 We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlick:
 6 But now our soul is dried away: there is nothing at all, beside this manna, before our eyes.




Num11:34 So the Aleph Tau name of that place was called Kibroth-ha taa uah, because there they buried the Aleph Tau people who had been greedy. 

Kibroth: Quph Bet Resh Uau Tau 

Kibroth comes from the root word Qeber which means burying place.

Kibroth in Pictographs: Quph is a pictograph of the sun at the horizon, Bet is a tent/house, Resh is a head of a man, Uau is a nail which means secured and Tau is a mark/sign

Hence Kibroth spiritually means 'The sun setting on the house of the first head man who was secured with a mark'

It's marking an end of a journey.

Hataauah: Hay Tau Aleph Uau Hay

Hataauah in Pictographs: Hay is a pictograph of a window which means behold, Tau is a mark/sign, Aleph is a head/leader, Uau is nail which means secured and Hay means behold

Hataauah spiritually means: Behold the marked leader is secured behold

Put together Kibroth-ha taa uah means 'The sun setting on the house of the first head man who was secured with a mark, behold the marked leader is secured behold'

The securing of the man who was chosen to be part of the congregation of Yisharal has ended his journey and now is secured in a 'grave of lust'

Kibroth-ha taa uah = "graves of lust"

Usage:

This word is used 5 times:

Numbers 11:34: "the name of that place Kibroth-hattaavah: because there they buried"
Numbers 11:35: "And the people journeyed from Kibroth-hattaavah unto Hazeroth; and abode at Hazeroth."
Numbers 33:16: "from the desert of Sinai, and pitched at Kibroth-hattaavah."
Numbers 33:17: "And they departed from Kibroth-hattaavah, and encamped at Hazeroth."
Deuteronomy 9:22: "And at Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibroth-hattaavah, ye provoked Yahuah


The people had sinned against Alahim as they loathed the manna which was angels food which Yahuah fed them and they lusted for meat in the wilderness.

Heb 3:8 Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:

 9 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years.

 10 Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways.

 11 So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.)


Tau Aleph in the word 'Kibroth-ha taa uah' shows the measuring of those who fall short and cannot enter his rest according to the determinate counsel of Alahim.



Matt 6:20 But store ( taa tsru )up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in nor steal there;
Matt 6:21 for in the place where your treasure is in it, there your heart shall be also. 

There is no more physical temple in Yerushalayam. We are the temple of the Ruach ha Qodesh


1Cor6:19 Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Ruach ha Qodesh who is in you, whom you have from Alahim, and that you are not your own?  

 The heart is like the little chamber where Messiah seeks to dwell, the desire of the heart shows what is in that little chamber.

2Cor4:6 For Alahim, who said, Light shall shine out of darkness, is the One who has shone in our hearts to give the Light of the knowledge of the glory of Alahim in the face of the Mashiyach.
2Cor4:7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, so that the excellence of the power shall be of Alahim and not from ourselves 

In conclusion Aleph Tau is the mark showing the love of the Creator through his eternal purpose of his journey to the Cross to be nailed and the Tau Aleph shows the journey of a response of a heart to that love from the Cross where the Head/Leader is nailed.
