God’s clue1 pointing to the fact that there is something more to the story is found in the first word in the text, וייצר, vayyitser – (and He formed). The word vayyitser is misspelled and rabbinic scholars have found it needful to explain the incorrect spelling of this word which erroneously contains two letters - yud י.
The rabbis have said, ‘Since God dictated the text to Moses letter by letter’, this spelling anomaly must mean something’. ‘Surely, God can spell, yet, this word is misspelled!’ They surmised, ‘God must be making a point’.
They most certainly are correct. However, it would seem God’s point has been lost in pious conjecture. A simple reflection upon three such opinions makes the argument.
- one rabbi speculates that God’s point regarding the ‘double yud’ is to denote the seventh and ninth month of pregnancy2
- one rabbi offers the speculation the double yud denotes the two inclinations in man (one toward good the other toward evil).3
- we also find in the Tractate Berakoth of the Babylonian Talmud 61a., T.S. 2, 113, more speculations, “(this)….. scripture writes ‘vayyitser’ with the letter yud repeated to signify a double creation”.
While these ideas may have attempted to serve the purpose of explaining God’s appalling spelling error, they still remain to be nothing more than mere speculations or pious opinions, empty commentaries.
Nevertheless, the word ‘vayyitser’ is in the text and it is indeed misspelled!
This is what prompted me to explore the deeper mysteries of the text. Like many others I was troubled by the misspelled word ‘vayyitser’. And like the rabbis of old, I too knew this must mean something, - but what does it mean? Certainly, such a glaring spelling error requires more than some pietistic speculation and, for that matter it doesn’t take much to conjure up speculations of this sort! The only requirement is an active imagination to concoct any variety of , ‘it could mean this’s or it could mean that’s’ – just like we see in the examples mentioned above.
So, why did God misspell the word? Well one thing is sure, in light of serious doctrine contained in what is being revealed in the text, I can’t help but think such speculation must be displeasing to God.
- because these speculations - which are nothing more than opinions - seem to satisfy – for the moment – serious questions posed by the scripture. Piety driven speculations, sacred lore, spiritual tales seem to suppress truth and cater to the whims of faith agendas and doctrine.
- Second, because speculation is opinion offered as truth, it violates the scriptural injunction against ‘false prophecy’.
We are therefore exhorted to keep in mind:
‘God is not inviting invention rather God is requiring investigation and hearts ready to receive revelation’.
You, dear reader, are now also invited to participate in God’s Holy revelation. And because this is so, you also have the advantage of not having to resort to speculation. Instead, God has ‘graced you’, allowing you to observe what is obvious – to see what is before your eyes and to witness what has never been witnessed before.
You have the advantage of being able to actually ‘see’ that the extra letter yud actually does something concrete within the text.
The ‘extraneous’ yud is a point of reference and serves as God’s signpost which indicates there is something to look at. The ‘extraneous’ yud is also the first letter of the incredible revelation that there is a connection between He Who is the ‘Begotten Son of the Father’ and the One Who is Named Yeshua i.e., Jesus.
The Begotten Son of The Father
Lets start with the most controversial revelation of all, the most divisive teaching in the history of Judeo-Christian relations.which is.
The Lord God has a Begotten Son.
ילדאב
father - ילד אב- begotten son (of)
Both camps have their well honed and precisely worded arguments. Both camps are convincing in their debate and passionate in their beliefs. The result is simply this, these arguments have lead to incredible hatred and strife for over two thousand years.
Mercifully – and to our mutual shame – God Himself now finds it needful to reveal the truth to us, i.e., He has a Son, Yeshua. To wit, ‘Yeshua is the Son of the Father or the Only Begotten of the Father or the Only Begotten Son of the Father’, etc. Keep in mind also that the primary claim of the Christian faith is this, ‘Yeshua is the Begotten Son of God’ hence, we see in the text an emerging and most startling teaching, which connects the Name Yeshua to the phrase ‘Begotten of the Father’.
So, where in the text is the concept of the ‘Begotten of the Father’ to be found? Well it’s right here deeply encrypted into the text.
Also, notice that the term ‘Begotten Son of the Father’ -ילדאב - is found originating ‘out from’ that exact same ‘extra letter yud’ located in that ‘exact same misspelled word’ , וייצר, vayyitser. This too is an essential Christian concept i.e. Yeshua is begotten of the ‘father’ who proceeds forth from the Father (Nicene Creed).
Of course, each of these titles are of human origin and no matter how fully they are explained by theologians they will lack precision and completeness regarding the internal Mystery of Divinity.
I make this point because I don’t want to spend time quibbling over terms; rather, I‘d much rather present God’s revelation to you, the reader.
For example, the literal term found in the encrypted text is ‘Begotten of the Father’; and, exactly as the words of the phrase suggest, its common use is to denote a normal condition wherein the father is defined as he who begets his child. Biblical Hebrew does not seem to admit any other concept as regarding the word yä·lad' יְלִדְ than the idea of begottenness. cf. Psa. 2:7
So there isn’t any question on the definition of this term here is a dictionary entry taken from the Jastrow ‘Hebrew English Dictionary of the Jerusalem Talmud’. The term revealed is a masculine noun meaning ‘begotten son’. So, lets not quibble over the meaning of this word.
‘Thou art my beloved son, this day have I begotten thee’. 3אֲסַפְּרָה אֶֽל חֹק יְֽהוָה אָמַר אֵלַי בְּנִי אַתָּה אֲנִי הַיֹּום יְלִדְתִּֽיךָ
Hence, every boy or girl is the begotten child of his or her father. The next word found in the revealed box aligned text is ‘Ab’ – אב - i.e. Father – this word too is clear in its meaning and context. We can quibble over the mechanics of how God can beget a Son; but, this is a meaningless exercise.
The point is this, God has seen fit to to embed the term…
‘Begotten of the Father’… into the exact creation text…
in which He is also twice revealing the Name Yeshua…
Who just happens to be…the very One Christians teach is the Creator of all things and the Begotten Son of God!
A comment: Doesn’t this go beyond the pall of coincidence? Doesn’t this smack of Divine intentionality and Revelation? If it is from God ( and it is) don’t you think we all need to pay attention to it? And if its not from God then who is it from; AND, if its not from God - it is the worst type of heresy - and why would God allow such heresy into His Torah? If this is the case that God permits heresy then all of us are in error and the whole thing of religion, faith, spirituality is built upon lies and we are in the dreadful hands of a cruel and lying god! Is Our God really that weak and ineffectual? The answers to these questions are obvious.
God is also revealing Yeshua is the One Who Rose
Yeshua Rose – (from the dead)
The full idea is that Yeshua became one like us in all things except sin and thus became in His sinless-ness the only truly worthy and ‘spotless sacrifice’ capable of possessing in Himself merit sufficient to atone for the lack of faith exhibited by the first Adam which resulted in the wall of separation between humankind and God.
It is taught Yeshua rose up from the dead – having having been raised by His Father after having perfectly trusted in His Fathers love and Word.
That Yeshu rose is supported in the text here indicated by the spelling of Yeshu’s4 Name which is seen visually to RISE.
We believe Yeshua rose from the dead on the third day having become for us the perfect atoning sacrifice – offering Himself as both the “lamb of God” that permits God’s wrath to pass over the faithful and the “goat of God” whose blood was sprinkled in the Holy of Holies vergdrgrbdbvnhj bn
lkiukoiu
Yeshua both offered Himself up as the "Lamb of
God" that causes the wrath of God to (eternally) pass over those who personally trust in Him,
and He also offered himself as the "Goat of God" whose blood was sprinkled in the Holy of
Holies to cleanse us from sin and give us (everlasting) atonement. (Other metaphors are also
given in Scripture, of course. For example, Yeshua offered Himself as the Snake lifted up (John
3:14-15; cp. Num. 21:4-9), as a Red Cow (parah adumah), and so on).
Encryption Method
The tool used to pull the revelatory phrase, ‘Begotten of the Father’ out of the text is nothing more than a very well known Jewish exegetical method which has been in use for millennia. It is based upon a simple skipping of letters. Here is how this technique works. Go back to the above diagram and start with the extra letter yud – י – next, skip to every ‘eighth’ letter thereafter and the phrase ‘ ילדאב – Begotten of the Father’ emerges. (keep in mind Hebrew is read from right to left so you may have to spend a few moments figuring it all out. It’s certainly worth the effort to see this amazing revelation.) 2
As you gain a good level of certainty that the phrase in the text is, in fact, encrypted into the text, notice next how this term is interconnected to the term יהוהאלהימ Yahweh Elohim, which is the most sacred and Holy Name of God.
1 Since Hebrew is read from right to left the extra letter yud is the 2nd yud found in the top line of the diagram.
2 See also the appendix ‘Weaknesses of the Letter Skipping Method of Biblical Exegesis’.
3. Yes, the Name Yeshu figures proximately in this verse as well.
4. The Word Yeshu is an acceptable variant spelling of the Name Yeshua and is in common use in Israel today.

And then, as if discovering all of these secret and hidden jewels in God's word weren't enough, Agur, the son of Jakeh, blantantly tells us that God has a son, in Proverbs 30:3, when he asks his two friends, Ithiel and Ucal, this question.."who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name and what is his Son's name, if thou can tell?"
ReplyDeleteHis friends could not answer the question, but we can.
His name is Yahweh, and his Son's name is Y'shua.
