Why?

[eoe]

Why is it that the word "the" is left out when talking about certain things? Why is it "reading Torah" instead of "reading the Torah"? I saw a reference to "eating Messiah" why not "eating THE Messiah?" (ignore the theological statement - just the wordiing is what I am wierded out by)

IT is like saying "Who ate apple?" "Oh, that was me I ate apple" or "Did you go to game?" "No we missed game"



Why?

I suppose it is becuase "Torah" is treated as a proper name. You wouldn't say - " I was reading "the" Hemmingway", you would just say "I was reading Hemmingway....." Plus other languages don't use articles the same way english does.

No idea why anyone would be "eating Messiah" or "THE Messiah" for that matter.

Why?

Why?- because- this is a good example of how western mind set tries to make the understanding of scripture to fit into “IT”S” understanding. I believe it would be better if people step out of the “western mind set” and try to see things from another perspective. I would go father to say that there is so much more in scripture that is missed understood because of the “western mind set”.

Jesus is the Direct Object


Interestingly, Aleph and Tav form a unique word that functions as a “direct object marker” in the both Biblical and modern Hebrew:

As it is written in Genesis 1:1, "In the beginning God (ALEPH/TAV) created the heavens and the earth."

Considered this way, Jesus is the Direct Object of the Universe, the End (sof) of all of creation. And not only is Jesus the End of all creation, but He is the “Beginning of the Creation of God,” the Creator and Sustainer of all things: "For by him 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: And he is before all things and by him all things consist." (Colossians 1:16-17)

Thus says the Amen, the faithful and true witness,
the beginning of the creation of God (Rev. 3:14).​

Ko amar ha’amein ‘ed ha’emet v’hatsedek
v’reishit b’riat ha’elohim​

Jesus is the Strong Sign
Finally, using the ancient pictographs, we can see that Jesus is the “Strong Sign” from Adonai:

He is the One who comes in humble, silent strength (Aleph) bearing the Sign of the true Covenant of God (Tav).

If I'm not mistaken you may be interested in the Hebrew "Direct Object"-"ET" Aleph-Tav .
It has been said that it appears often in scripture with out any noun to point to and in those cases it means Yeshua was there...(((hugs)))

yep.

eoe: when it comes to "eating Messiah" or whatnot...this may be from popular use... like someone saying "Christ will come again". Well "Christ" is a title, so if we got picky, it should be "the Christ" as that title comes from the title "Messiah"...

You probably know more about the Greek than I do But this is from an article here:
http://www.messianic.com/articles/messiah.htm

Messiah is the English transliteration of Mashiach, the Hebrew word meaning "Anointed One." The Greek form of this meaning is Xristos, from where we get the English word Christ.


In the original Hebrew "Jesus Christ" is Yeshua haMashiach and is interpreted as "Yah who is Salvation, the Anointed One." Yah is short for the Holy Name of Y-H-V-H, which itself means "He who was, who is, who is to come", thus "the Eternally Existent One." So, the full title of the Mashiach is "The Eternally Existent Saving and Anointed One."


To be "anointed" in ancient Hebrew culture meant to be chosen as the rightful heir to authority, either as a priest or king or both. It was a rite of special consecration to have oil poured upon one's head from a ram's horn by a previously chosen servant of G-d. Several kings and priests of Israel received this rite, most notably King David, who was himself called "mashiach," an anointed one. It was prophesied that a son of his would one day come to rule perpetually. This son came to be known as the promised Mashiach, who would rule the world from the throne of David.

Does the aleph-tav together spell g-d?

 

[Tishri1]

Does the aleph-tav together spell g-d?

no but check it out, it is the marker for what ever the object or subject is...like a "the" but more so even....There are many places in the scriptures that have an "ET" but no object to link it to and that is where I have heard it said that Yeshua was there....could be I will look it up for you and start a new thread so we dont highjack this one

sorry eoe
