The Hidden Power of the Hebrew Alphabet

On the island of Sicily in the fourth century B. C., there ruled a tyrant named Dionysius. He had in his court a certain “yes” man named Damocles. Damocles was a flatterer. He who sought to gain advantage by flattering the cruel tyrant. One day as he extolled the virtues of Dionysius the tyrant proclaimed a magnificent banquet in his honor. In the midst of the festivities, however, Damocles happened to look up and discovered to his dismay that a naked sword hung suspended over his head by a single hair. 1 Sometimes it doesn’t pay to be full of words which you don’t mean. Today, we are going to look at Zayin, the seventh letter of the Hebrew Alphabet, which means sword or weapon.

#S2-031: Why ‘VAV’, the 6th Letter of the Hebrew Alphabet, Builds Security [Podcast]

by

Like many of us, Allen wanted God to see things his way. Allen was raised in a Christian home, but he allowed different things to become idols in his life, things such as sports heroes, material possessions, and self-seeking adventures. One day, Allen’s life came crashing down. His marriage was on the edge of ruin. His children were out of control. His career was heading nowhere fast. Trouble flooded in upon him. At his wits end, Allen began to seek help. He attended a marriage conference with his wife, and while there he desperately sought the only living and true God. On the final day of the conference, Allen noticed a wooden cross with a simple sign overhead that read: “Jesus invites you to nail every sin to His cross.” Hundreds of nails had already been hammered in by others seeking relief from the terrible weight of sin. With tears rolling down his cheek, Allen walked up and put his nail in the cross alongside the others. As he did, he felt all the hurt, the weight of having lived a life of sin, fall off his shoulders. “Jesus, I’ve lived my life for myself. I can’t do this alone. Please give me the strength to live for you.” After praying, Allen took a deep breath and walked away from the cross that held his sins—every one of them. Have you turned from God to idols? If so, it is time to nail the idols to the cross and to turn back to God. 1 Today, we are going to take a look at the sixth letter of the Hebrew alphabet, VAV, which means nail or hook.

The Hidden Power of the Hebrew Alphabet

by

There is an old Italian proverb, “When God shuts a door, He opens a window.” Many of God’s saints have come to barriers in life which have eventually meant new and broader fields of service. If we are identified with Christ, distressing circumstances will bring us into new discoveries of the riches of His grace and the treasures of His boundless and eternal love. 1 Windows is the subject as we open the fifth letter of the Hebrew Alphabet and try to understand it’s power.

#S2-025: Even More of The Hidden Power of the Hebrew Alphabet [Podcast]

by

A tourist in Syria observed with interest how a shepherd drove all his sheep into a sheepfold one evening. The fold was an enclosing wall with only one opening. On that opening he noticed that there was neither door nor gate. He remarked to the shepherd: “Can’t wild beasts get in there?” “No,” answered the shepherd, “because I am the door. When the sheep are in for the night, I lie down across that doorway. No sheep can get out except over my body, and no wolf or thief can get in except over me.” 1 Today, we are going to look at the fourth letter of the Hebrew alphabet, the letter Daleth which means door. 2

#S2-023: What is the Hidden Power of the Hebrew Alphabet? [Podcast]

With God, there is no shortage of ways He communicates the message of redemption found in His Son Jesus (Heb. 1:1-2). Besides the Word of God, besides supernatural manifestations of His Presence, besides angelic appearances, besides pictures in nature, God uses other methods. The Hebrew alphabet was one such method He used to declare the hope for mankind. Way back before Jesus ever came to earth, God foretold of His coming in the living pictures of the Hebrew alphabet. In the first of this series we will look at some elements of the Hebrew alphabet along with the first letter Aleph 1.
