The are multiple words for time in Hebrew, the most used is עת ‘et’ which pictographically means to ‘see the cross’ — or in ancient Hebrew thinking, to ‘see the mark.’ What is this mark? It is the sun setting (death) and rising (resurrection) above the horizon.
This connects to the Good Shepherd, the Door (dalet), the heartbeat rhythm mirroring the sun’s movement through the Constellations, living waters/blood from the heart/Temple, and every breath proclaiming His Name (shem/shemesh). Creation itself declares the redemptive work of Christ through light, time, and the beating of our hearts.

More on קף ‘qaf’ and it’s relation to time below.
עת ‘et’ corresponds to the Greek word καιρός ‘kairos’ through comparing Daniel 7:25 & Revelation 12:6, 14.
In the Septuagint, καιρός ‘kairos’ is used to translate numerous words but one of which is very interesting. The word תר ‘tor’ due to its relation to the concept of ‘the mark.’
From this root we get תאר ta’ar andתואר to’ar. These words mean form, outline or border.
תואר ‘toar’ is from the same root תר ‘tor’ as תורה ‘torah.’ The mark of God is His Torah, His Word. We can have the mark of God and be in His image by walking in His Word and having Christ live through us (Galatians 2:20), or we can have the mark of the beast and be in the image of Satan by walking in his torah which is lawlessness (Ephesians 2:2-3; Isaiah 30:8-11; 1 Peter 2:8) .
We can choose the tree of life or the tree of knowledge. The Light of the Word or the false light which is in reality darkness (Matthew 6:23).

The sun and time

This comes from the root ‘שע’ which is a picture of a shepherd watching over his flock. ‘שע Sha’ is also the root of the word ישׁוּע ‘Yeshua’, the name of Jesus.
This is why the sun god is portrayed with an ‘all seeing eye’ as well as being related to the triangle/pyramid, which is in the same shape as the ancient Hebrew letter dalet, which is the origin of the Greek letter delta. Dalet has the numerical value of 4 which relates to the 4th dimension of time, of which the sun is intimately connected. Further connecting to the Messiah, the letter dalet means a ‘door.’

This word comes from דם ‘dam’ meaning blood.
דם ‘Dam’ literally means waters from the door. As in the living waters that come forth from the Temple, or the living waters of blood that come forth from the heart. The sun moving through the zodiac is also a picture of this. Psalm 19 speaks of the sun following the path of the zodiac and coming forth from ‘his canopy’ representing the Temple. A healthy heart pumps on average 72 times a minute, the sun moves a degree through the ecliptic every 72 years. It seems that the beating of the human heart corresponds with the movement of the sun through the ecliptic.
“The ‘circle’ traced by the earth’s axis around the north ecliptic pole is not smooth but wavy, as the moon’s gravitational pull causes the earth to ‘nod’ about once every 18 years (currently 18.6 years), a movement known as nutation. The circle therefore contains about 1440 waves, since 18 x 1440 = 25,920. Note that the average human heartbeat is equal to 72 beats a minute, and on average we breathe about 18 times a minute. 72 years (= 6+60+6 or 6×12) is said to be the ‘ideal’ lifespan of a human being, during which time the sun moves through one degree of the zodiac in the precessional cycle. A human breathes 72 times in 4 minutes, the time required for the earth to turn 1 degree on its axis. In 24 hours (86,400 seconds) we breathe 18 x 1440 = 25,920 times, equal to the number of years in the precessional cycle.”
According to the National Geographic’s ‘Incredible Human Machine’ it takes 72 muscles for man to speak. The Hebrew word for time, עת, means to see the mark. What is the mark? It is when the sun rises directly east (qedem ‘sun of blood’) at the time of the tequphah which literally means the ‘sun speaks.’
According to Ecclesiastes 1:5-6, the sun moves upon the wind/spirit again linking to the blood which flows through the human body and the living waters which flow forth from the throne of God.
The path of the sun through the zodiac comes from the following Hebrew word:
According to the Revelation 22:1-2, the river of life that comes forth from the throne of Elohim, is linked to 12 fruits of the tree of life.
The word for the constellations/zodiac in Hebrew is ‘mazzaroth’ which traces back to the Hebrew word nazar.
What was on the crown of the High Priest? The sacred name of Yahweh (Exodus 29:6; 39:30) According to Josephus (Wars of the Jews Book 5 Chapter 5 Section 7) the sacred name consisted of 4 vowels which are pronounced with our breath. The Hebrew word for ‘name,’ is שם ‘shem’ which means breath/wind. It is the root for the word שמים ‘shamayim’ which means heaven. שם ‘Shem’ is also the root of the word שמש ‘shemesh’ which means the sun. Every breath we take we are proclaiming His Name. Each breath we take brings oxygen into our lungs which brings life to our blood and to our cells.
