We know that in the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God.
John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
So who knows what WORD is being referenced here? I will give a clue, it is in Genesis 1:1.
If you look at Gen 1:1 in the Hebrew you will find a word listed twice that is NOT translated into English. There is no need for it in English because in Hebrew it is a pointer to the object of the action of the verb.
That word is spelled 'aleph-tav' the first and last letters of the Hebrew alephbet. When translated into Greek it would be 'alpha-omega', the beginning and the end.
The Paleo-hebrew word picture is interesting. Aleph was the 1st letter of all the titles of Yah prior to His name YHVH being given to Moses. Elohyim, El, Elowah all start with aleph. It is also the picture of the head of a bull symbolizing strenth. A bull was also a sacrifical animal. The tav symbol is a cross and means covenant. The paleo-hebrew meaning has several options like 'strenght of the covenant' or 'God/sacrifice on the cross'.
In Gen 1:1 'aleph-tav' is the pointer to the action of creation for the heavens and the earth. By him and through Him all things were created, the alpha-omega. He is also identified as such in Rev 22, the end of the bible. So this concept is presented at the very beginning and the end of scripture as well.
Aleph-tav is the WORD! It is a symbol of Yeshua Himself. John knew the Hebrew and knew Yeshua was the 'aleph-tav' of Genesis.
B'rshyt (in front/beginning) bara (created) Elohyim (Yah) et ('aleph-tav') hashamayim (the heavens) vet ('and aleph-tav') haerats (the earth).
Now the location of 'aleph-tav' within the verse has two occurances just as Yeshua has two comings. It is also positioned in the passage to show the timing of His coming if you take each word to be a prepresentation of a 1000 year day of the week of 1000 years with the 7th day being the millennium Sabbath. He came at the 4000 point and comes at the end of the 6000 year point just prior to the 1000 year Sabbath, ie the millennium kingdom.
It also shows that Yah was already planning on the need for Yeshua on the cross at the creation itself.
