Alpha Omega / Alef Tav

Absalom was King David’s strikingly handsome third son, known for his vengeance against his half-brother Amnon for raping their sister Tamar, leading to his exile and eventual rebellion against David, culminating in his famous capture by his hair in an oak tree and subsequent death, a story detailed in 2 Samuel.

Key Aspects of His Story:

Family: He was the son of David and Maacah, making him the full brother of the beautiful Tamar.
Tamar’s Rape: Absalom’s story begins with the rape of Tamar by their older half-brother, Amnon, David’s heir.
Vengeance: After David failed to punish Amnon, Absalom secretly plotted revenge, luring Amnon to a feast and having him killed by his servants.
Exile: Absalom fled to Geshur (his mother’s homeland) for three years to escape David’s wrath.
Reconciliation & Rebellion: Joab, David’s general, engineered Absalom’s return, but Absalom later launched a full-scale rebellion, stealing the hearts of the people and forcing David to flee Jerusalem.
Death: During the rebellion, Absalom was riding his mule, got his long, heavy hair caught in the branches of a large oak tree, and was found and killed by Joab, despite David’s orders to spare him.
Characteristics: He was renowned for his extraordinary beauty, vanity (cutting his hair annually), and ambition, though his actions led to family tragedy.

Biblical Significance:

Absalom’s story serves as a powerful narrative about justice, vengeance, family dysfunction, ambition, and the complexities of leadership, showing a charismatic figure with a tragic downfall.

Jesus : The Alpha and Omega.

 

 

FIRST TRANSLATE THE LETTER ALPHA FROM GREEK BACK TO HEBREW: ALPHA = ALEF

In English Jesus is saying I am A to Z. The first and the last.
The first letter in the English alphabet is “A” and is equivalent to the Greek Letter ALPHA, which originated from the Hebrew letter ALEF.
The Ancient Hebrew Pictogram for ALEF was PICUTRED BY THE HORNED HEAD OF AN OX which also carried a significant meaning as well.
It means STRONG LEADER, or POWERFUL

NEXT TRANSLATE THE LETTER OMEGA FROM GREEK BACK TO HEBREW: OMEGA = TAV

The last letter in the English alphabet is “Z” and is equivalent to the last Greek Letter OMEGA., which orignated from the last Hebrew letter TAV.
The Ancient Hebrew Pictogram for TAV was PICTURED BY 2 CROSSED STICKS which meant SIGN or SIGNATURE (like “x” marks the signature) or COVENANT (promise)

STARTING FROM GENESIS 1:1 A PICTURE EMERGES OF JESUS ON THE CROSS.

Jesus is the ALPHA or ALEF in HEBREW symbolized by an ox head that means ‘STRONG LEADER WITH POWER’ who is physically on/next to the OMEGA or in HEBREW TAV which is symbolized by the TWO CROSSED STICKS and what makes a SIGNATURE or SIGN OF COVENANT – for all who will accept Him and believe.

ALEF 

STRONG LEADER, POWER

TAV

SIGNATURE, SIGN, COVENANT

IN THE BEGINNING AS GOD’S SIGNATURE:

The Alef – Tav are first seen in the scriptures in the very first sentence of the Bible.  In the beginning God (ALEF TAV) created the heavens and the earth.

The Alef Tav – It was there “In the beginning” and it can’t be translated…because it’s not in itself a word…but it’s right there…’THE WORD’ has always has been there…and in many other passages throughout the entire Old Testament.  

2nd EXAMPLE OF “THE WORD” ALEF TAV IN PROPHECY: 

[Zec 12:10 KJV] 10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me (ALEF TAV) whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for [his] only [son], and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for [his] firstborn.

Jesus is the ALPHA / ALEF – STRONG LEADER WITH POWER – Who is physically seen on the OMEGA / TAV – SIGNATURE/ SIGN OF COVENANT  – to make a new covenant for all who believe.

JESUS ‘THE WORD’ IN BEGINNING:

[Jhn 1:1 KJV] 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

[1Jo 1:1 KJV] 1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life;

JESUS ‘THE WORD’ BECOME FLESH:

[Jhn 1:14 HNV] 14 The Word became flesh, and lived among us. We saw his glory, such glory as of the one and only Son of the Father, full of grace and truth.

In book of John, denotes the essential Word of God, Jesus Christ, the personal wisdom and power in union with God, his minister in creation and government of the universe, the cause of all the world’s life both physical and ethical, which for the procurement of man’s salvation put on human nature in the person of Jesus the Messiah, the second person in the Godhead, and shone forth conspicuously from His words and deeds.
