The Fibonacci pattern is seen throughout God’s handiwork. The Fibonacci Spiral also known as the Golden ratio or the Divine Proportion, points directly to Christ Jesus.
The Fibonacci numbers are “nature’s numbering system”. They appear everywhere in nature, from the leaf arrangement in plants, to the pattern of the florets of a flower, the bracts of a pinecone, or the scales of a pineapple and the rose. The Fibonacci numbers are, in many cases, applicable to the growth of virtually every living thing, including DNA, a single cell, a grain of wheat, a hive of bees, and even all of mankind.
The Fibonacci pattern is seen in the fingerprint of the hand of man, who was created in God’s image (1 John 4:20-21; James 3:9). The Fibonacci pattern is seen throughout creation as God’s “fingerprint”.
All that we experience in this life was created to lead us to our Creator (Romans 1:19-20; Psalm 33:6-9; 150:6; Isaiah 40:26; 41:20; 45:5-8). All that we see, hear, touch, taste and feel was created so that we might see the Most High and be drawn to Him. Just as the personality of an artist can be see through his paintings or the heart of an author can be seen through his writings, so too the creation allow us to see the Creator.
He is the Great Artist, the Maker of all things. The English word ‘artist’ comes form the Hebrew word יצר ‘yatsar’ which means to create or form, as a potter molding clay. The Lord is the former {יצר ‘yatsar’} of all things (Jeremiah 10:16; 51:19). As a result, all of His works are embedded with His image. When one is molding clay, one’s fingerprint is embedded within the clay. So too, when God molded creation, He left His “Fingerprint” embedded throughout…
The Holy Scriptures state that Christ Jesus is all and in all (Colossians 3:11), this is because He is the Creator (Ephesians 3:9; 1 Corinthians 8:6; John 1:1-3; Colossians 1:12-17; Hebrews 1:1-12). All things are a shadow pointing back to Messiah (Hebrews 8:5; 9:24; 10:1; Colossians 2:16-17) who is the Image of God (Hebrews 1:3; 2 Corinthians 4:4; Colossians 1:15-16).
In the beginning, the Spirit of God hovered over the waters (Genesis 1:2). The word for hover in this verse is רחף ‘rachaph’ which pictures a bird overshadowing her nest. The Almighty then said “let there be light” from whence all matter came forth, creating a shadow of His image over all of creation.
In the beginning, the Word/Voice of the Most High acted upon the waters and brought forth Light. The Hebrew phrase קול יהוה ‘qol YHWH’ (Voice of YHWH) has the numerical equivalent of 162. The Fibonacci spiral is displayed as the number 1.618 (Golden ration), rounded to 1.62.
The phrase אור יהוה ‘ohr YHWH’ (light of YHWH) has the numerical value of 233. 233 is the 13th Fibonacci number. The Light of YHWH is equivalent with the Word of YHWH from whence came creation.
Here then, the Fibonacci pattern is seen embedded throughout the beginning of creation.
Both Light, {אור ‘ohr’} and Word {דבר ‘davar’} have the meaning of order.
Light comes from the following root word:
Word comes from the following root word:
Cosmos comes from the Greek word κόσμος ‘kosmos’ which means the universe, world and order but also means the ‘circle of the earth.’ This circle can be rendered as the Hebrew word דר ‘dar’ which means order as well and is the root of the word דבר ‘davar’ (Word).
The universe is a “single spoken sentence”. This sentence was “let there be light“.
The cosmos/universe points directly the Word who is Messiah. Traditionally, the cosmos has been used synonymously with the Greek word αἰών’aion’which means the world or universe. The equivalent word to αἰών ‘aion’ in Hebrew is עלם ‘olam.’ Pictographically, this word means to see {ע ‘eye’} the shepherd who leads {לם shepherd leading to the waters}. The Good Shepherd is our Maker.
Psa 95:6 O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker.
Psa 95:7 For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To day if ye will hear his voice,
Isa 40:10 Behold, the Lord GOD will come with strong hand, and his arm shall rule for him: behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him.
Isa 40:11 He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young.
Isa 40:12 Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and meted out heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance?
Isa 40:13 Who hath directed the Spirit of the LORD, or being his counsellor hath taught him?
Isa 40:14 With whom took he counsel, and who instructed him, and taught him in the path of judgment, and taught him knowledge, and shewed to him the way of understanding?
Isa 40:21 Have ye not known? have ye not heard? hath it not been told you from the beginning? have ye not understood from the foundations of the earth?
Isa 40:22 It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:
Isa 40:26 Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things, that bringeth out their host by number: he calleth them all by names by the greatness of his might, for that he is strong in power; not one faileth.
Fibonacci Spiral
The English word spiral comes from the Latin word ‘spira’ and the Greek word ‘speira’ which trace back to the Hebrew word צפירה ‘tsiyphrah’ which means a turning as in a wreath and also the morning sunrise.
צפירה ‘tsiyphrah’ comes from the root צפר ‘tsaphar’ which is speaking of the early morning (sunrise) and the singing of birds.
Psa 108:2 Awake, harp and lyre! I will awake early {שחר ‘shachar’– dawn};
This is the period of time that the sun is at the horizon, the time when birds sing their songs of praise to their creator. At evening, when the sun is at the horizon again, the birds sing their songs as well.
Psa 65:8 They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at thy tokens: thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice.
The morning and evening is a period of time when light and darkness are separating. This points back to Genesis 1:2-5. It is no surprise then that birds are intimately linked to this time. The Spirit of God hovering over the waters in the beginning is likened to a bird hovering over her brood. The Spirit of God hovering over the waters is also connected to the Voice of God over the waters which brought forth light from darkness. The English word ‘sound,’ which began at this time, comes from the Old English word ‘swan’ meaning a sounding bird.
Shofar – the Voice of Messiah
The English word ‘spiral’ traces back to the Hebrew word שפר ‘shofar’ as well. The sound of the shofar is equated with the Voice of Messiah.
Rev 1:10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,
Rev 1:11 Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.
The Hebrew word for voice is קל ‘qol’ which literally means the voice of a shepherd that gathers his sheep.
Joh 10:3 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
Joh 10:4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
Joh 10:16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.
Joh 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
Joh 10:28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
Jer 31:10 Hear the word of the LORD, O ye nations, and declare it in the isles afar off, and say, He that scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd doth his flock.
The shofar is a spiral in the Fibonacci pattern. Some scientists even believe the entire universe is a “Golden Shofar” in the shape of the ram’s horn.
God’s Handiwork
Isaac Mozeson traces the English word ‘finger’ back to the Hebrew word חפן ‘chophen’ which means a fist or hand full of something. Mozeson also traces the word ‘five’ and ‘penta’ (5) to this Hebrew word as well. The hand is linked to the number five as each hand consists of five fingers. The number five is also intimately linked to the Fibonacci spiral and life.
The hand is an amazing shadow picture of Messiah, the Word (Psalm 33:6)/Right Hand (Isaiah 48:13) from whence creation came. The hand has 27 bones corresponding to the books of the New Testament and the number of times the word hallelujah is used in the Scriptures. More on this below.
Psa 19:1 To the chief musician. A Psalm of David. The heavens are recounting the glory of God, and the expanse proclaiming His handiwork {מעשׂה יד ‘ma`aseh yad’}.
What is His handiwork? The Heavens…the Word.
Psa 8:3 When I look upon Your heavens, the work of Your fingers: the moon and the stars which You have fixed;
Exo 31:18 And when He finished speaking with him on Mount Sinai, He gave to Moses the two tablets of the testimony, tablets of stone, written by the finger of God.
Paul equates the heavens with the Word/Gospel
Rom 10:11 For the Scripture says, “Everyone believing on Him will not be put to shame.” Isa. 28:16
Rom 10:12 For there is no difference both of Jew and of Greek, for the same Lord of all is rich toward all the ones calling on Him.
Rom 10:13 For everyone, “whoever may call on the name of the Lord will be saved.” Joel 2:32
Rom 10:14 How then may they call on One into whom they have not believed? And how may they believe One of whom they have not heard? And how may they hear without preaching?
Rom 10:15 And how may they preach if they are not sent? Even as it has been written, “How beautiful” “the feet of those preaching the gospel of peace, of those preaching the gospel of good things.” Isa. 52:7
Rom 10:16 But not all obeyed the gospel, for Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our report?” Isa. 53:1
Rom 10:17 Then faith is of hearing, and hearing through the Word of God.
Rom 10:18 But I say, Did they not hear? Yes, rather, “into all the earth their voice went out, and to the ends of the world their words.” LXX-Psa. 18:5; MT-Psa. 19:4
Psa 19:1 To the chief musician. A Psalm of David. The heavens are recounting the glory of God, and the expanse proclaiming His handiwork.
Psa 19:2 Day by day they pour forth speech, and night to night reveals knowledge.
Psa 19:3 There is no speech, nor are there words where their voice is not heard.
Psa 19:4 Their voice is gone out into all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world.
Primordial Language – Confirmation of the Divine Creator: Anita Meyer
“What I had discovered was that the Hebrew letters that were given to Moses on Mount Sinai from G-d (documented in the Bible as being directly inscribed by the Finger of G-d onto the Ten Commandments) are created from natures law. I had discovered that there are mathematical units of growth found in all of nature (such as Pi 3.14, Phi, Fibonacci sequence and the Golden Mean Spiral) that creates “one” prototype form that produces all of the 22 Hebrew letters.
To get a better idea of what I am talking about, firstly let me explain more about the mathematical numbers that appear in all of the natural world. We see these mathematical pattern in things like crystals, plants, animals, humans, and all living things. We can even see this mathematical pattern in the life cycle of an atom and its particles (which spiral). For instance we have units of growth that appear in nature such as the Fibonacci sequence that goes like this: 0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55,89,144,… (add the last two numbers together to get the next number 233. We also have the Golden Section numbers which are 0.61803 and 1.61803. The Golden String is 1011010110110101101… A sequence of 0’s and 1’s that is closely related to the Fibonacci numbers and the Golden Section. We also have Pi (3.14) and Phi which is also closely related. Now Pi and Phi works around the Fibonacci sequence and the Golden Mean Spiral. These units of measure are different mathematical units of growth, but they are in cahoots and conspire with each other. They are in a state of relationship and association with each other. One can see these sequences in nature that instructs all living things when deciding how many units to grow next such as in a trees branches and a plants leaves. This series (of adding some quantity) can be seen everywhere in nature. This series is what has come to be called by several names, the numbers of the Fibonacci sequence also (regarded in conjunction with Phi/Pi), increase at a rate equal to oscillating around the Golden Mean Spiral.
In trying to understand our world and everything that happens within and below we must go to the biggest most foundational source which is our Universe. This same unit of growth pattern can be seen in the spiral arms of our Universe.”
“The Fibonacci spiral is a representation of the golden mean proportion that occurs so often in nature… Even the colors of the rainbow are made by different wavelengths that vary in size in a golden mean proportion relative to one another.”
“This can be seen in the varying widths of the color bands in a rainbow. The seven colors correspond to the seven notes of the diatonic music scale, and the mathematical, golden mean relationship between the notes, as they ascend and descend along the scale, matches exactly the relationship between the colors of the rainbow. The fact that colors have musical equivalents is reflected in the twelve-note ‘chromatic’ musical scale. As described by author Michael S. Schneider in A Beginner’s Guide to Constructing the Universe: ‘The chromatic twelve-scale includes the diatonic seven-scale plus five sharps or flats between them, giving the scale shades of musical color.’ This may provide a factual basis for the sensory phenomenon known as ‘synesthesia’, in which certain people naturally see certain colors when they hear certain sounds, and vice-versa. Such people often report seeing the letters of the alphabet in certain associated colors as well.”
The mention here to color is important to note as the Hebrew word for color is צבע ‘tseva’ which is the root word of אצבע ‘etsba’ which is the Hebrew word for finger.
As seen in Messiah in the Torah – Genesis 1:2-5, the word for music in ancient Hebrew {שיר ‘shir’} pictographically means a ‘string’. Brian Greene in Elegant Universe pg 15 describes everything in the universe as sound…a symphony.
Our ears are based upon the Fibonacci pattern:
Rom 10:16 But not all obeyed the gospel, for Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our report?” Isa. 53:1
Rom 10:17 Then faith is of hearing, and hearing through the Word of God.
Rom 10:18 But I say, Did they not hear? Yes, rather, “into all the earth their voice went out, and to the ends of the world their words.” LXX-Psa. 18:5; MT-Psa. 19:4
Their voice went out. What is the voice of the Word/Yahshua likened to? A Shofar (Revelation 1:10-11), which is in the Fibonacci pattern.
Physicists have identified a “Golden Shofar” curve, described by hyperbolic Fibonacci and Lucas functions, to create a model of a “shofarable” universe.
Based on experimental data obtained in 2003 by the NASA’s Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP), a new hypothesis about the structure of the Universe was developed. According to [28], the geometry of the Universe is similar in shape to a horn or a pipe with an extended bell [27]. As a result of this disclosure we make the following claim:
The Universe has a “shofarable” topology as shown in Fig.6.

[28]Aurich R., Lusting S., Steiner F., Then H. Hyperbolic Universes with a Horned Topology and the CMB Anisotropy. Classical Quantum Gravity 2004, No. 21: 4901-4926
The Shofar = the Voice of Jesus {Revelation 1:10}
Back to Romans 10…
Rom 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Rom 10:14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
Rom 10:15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
Rom 10:16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?
Rom 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Rom 10:18 But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world.
Verse 18 of Romans 10 points back to Psalm 19 where we see that the firmament declares His handiwork. Our ears were made after the ‘God’s pattern/Fibonacci pattern to hear the words of heaven/the firmament which are based upon that same pattern. Interestingly, verse 16 above refers back to Isaiah 53. Isaiah 53 is about the Messiah who suffers for the sins of His people. How is the Messiah described in Isaiah 53? As the arm of YHWH.
Isa 53:1 Who has believed our report? And to whom is the arm of YHWH revealed?
Above, the connection to the Finger of God is seen.
Psa 19:1 To the chief musician. A Psalm of David. The heavens are recounting the glory of God, and the expanse proclaiming His handiwork.
What is His handiwork? The Heavens…the Word.
Psa 8:3 When I look upon Your heavens, the work of Your fingers: the moon and the stars which You have fixed;
Exo 31:18 And when He finished speaking with him on Mount Sinai, He gave to Moses the two tablets of the testimony, tablets of stone, written by the finger of God.
The Finger also follows the Fibonacci pattern
And to further hammer home the point, the foot is also in the Fibonacci pattern.
Why is this significant? As seen above, the throne of God (Heaven) and His footstool (earth) are connected by the Temple as seen in Ezekiel 43:7. The Temple was designed as a perfect representation of the human body, as well as a perfect picture of the Messiah.
Tony Badillo has done an excellent study on the Temple and the human body connection. I highly recommend reading his work.

Messiah links the finger of God with the Kingdom of heaven (Luke 11:20). The hands of Messiah are linked to the four corners of the heavens through the walls of New Jerusalem. Isaiah 49:15-16 says that Israel is carved on the palms of his hands which links to the 12 walls of New Jerusalem, Revelation 21:12-27. The lines of the human hands where the fingers bend show these 12 walls.
Lines drawn into hand
Isa 49:15 Can a woman forget her suckling child, from pitying the son of her womb? Yes, these may forget, yet I will surely not forget you.
Isa 49:16 Behold, I have carved you on the palms of My hands; your walls are always before Me.
WALLS=Lines on Hands
Rev 21:12 and having a great and high wall, having twelve gates, and twelve angels at the gates and names having been inscribed, which are of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel.
Rev 21:13 From the east, three gates; from the north, three gates; from the south, three gates; and from the west, three gates.
Rev 21:14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
Rev 21:15 And he speaking with me had a golden reed, that he may measure the city, and its gates, and its wall.
Rev 21:16 And the city lies four cornered, even its length as much as the width also. And he measured the city with the reed at twelve thousand stadia; its length and width and height are equal.
Rev 21:17 And he measured its wall, a hundred and forty four cubits, a measure of a man, which is of an angel.
Rev 21:18 And the structure of its wall was jasper; and the city was pure gold, like pure glass.
Rev 21:19 And the foundation of the wall of the city having been adorned with every precious stone: The first foundation, jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, chalcedony; the fourth, emerald;
Rev 21:20 the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprasus; the eleventh, hyacinth; the twelfth, amethyst.
Rev 21:21 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; respectively each one of the gates was of one pearl. And the street of the city was pure gold, as transparent glass.
Rev 21:22 And I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God Almighty is its temple, even the Lamb.
Rev 21:23 And the city had no need of the sun, nor of the moon, that they might shine in it, for the glory of God illuminated it, even its lamp is the Lamb.
Rev 21:24 And the nations of the ones saved will walk in its light; and the kings of the earth bring their glory and honor into it.
Rev 21:25 And its gates may not at all be shut by day, for no night will be there.
Rev 21:26 And they will bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it.
Rev 21:27 And all profaning may not at all enter into it, or any making an abomination or a lie; but only the ones having been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb.
Notice that the wall of the city measured 144 cubits. 144 is the 12th Fibonacci number.
12 lines on the 4 fingers=12 tribes, 12 walls
The picture of the hand depicts the Hebrew word כוח ‘koach’ which means power.
His Power = His Word
Rom 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation to everyone believing, both to Jew first, and to Greek;
In the TaNaKH, the word most frequently translated as ‘power’, is the Hebrew ‘koach’.
Psa 29:4 The voice of YHWH is in power (כוח ‘koach’); the voice of YHWH in majesty.
In the New Testament, multiple words are translated as power, each pointing to the Word.
Luk 4:32 And they were astonished at his doctrine: for his word was with power (ἐξουσία ‘exousia’).
Heb 1:3 who being the shining splendor of His glory, and the express image of His essence, and upholding all things by the Word of His power (δύναμις ‘dunamis’), having made purification of our sins through Himself, He sat down on the right of the Majesty on high, Psa. 110:1
Heb 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful (ἐνεργής ‘energēs’), and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
This connection between power, the Word and the body of Messiah is further seen in Exodus 15:27. Israel had just passed through the Red Sea and came to Elim where there were 12 wells of water representing to the 12 tribes of Israel and 70 palm trees representing the nations. Elim means ‘power’ in Hebrew.
On a deeper level, Elim is a picture of the joining together of the body of Messiah. ‘Elim’ also has the meaning of an arch which is held together by a keystone or ‘chief cornerstone.’
Eph 2:17 And coming, He proclaimed “peace to you, the ones afar off, and to the ones near.” Isa. 57:19
Eph 2:18 For through Him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father.
Eph 2:19 So, then, you are no longer strangers and tenants, but you are fellow citizens of the saints and of the family of God,
Eph 2:20 being built up on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the cornerstone,
Eph 2:21 in whom all the building being fitted together grows into a holy temple in the Lord,
Eph 2:22 in whom you also are being built together into a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.
Life, 5, Fibonacci Spiral
Gen 1:20 And God said, Let the waters swarm with swarmers having a soul of life; and let the birds fly over the earth, on the face of the expanse of the heavens.
Gen 1:21 And God created the great sea animals, and all that creeps, having a living soul, which swarmed the waters, according to its kind; and every bird with wing according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
Gen 1:22 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas; and let the birds multiply in the earth.
Gen 1:23 And there was evening, and there was morning the fifth day.
All life is a shadow picture pointing to Messiah.
Joh 14:6 Jesus said to him, I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
Joh 20:31 But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.
Rev 19:13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
Joh 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
Grace is linked to the number 5 (Day 5) and will be discussed in more detail below.
Joh 6:68 Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.
Phi 2:16 Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.
Joh 5:39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.
Joh 5:40 And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.
WISDOM
Pro 3:18 She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her.
Pro 3:22 So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck.
Proverbs 3:22 corresponds to Proverbs 1:9 which speaks of an ornament (wreath
Yahshua/Jesus is the Resurrection & the Life
Joh 11:25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
1Jo 5:20 And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.
1Jo 5:12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
Life is in Messiah through the Holy Spirit. It is interesting to note that the English word ‘spirit’ comes from the same Hebrew root as spiral (Fibonacci spiral of life), צפר ‘tsaphar.’
Joh 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
Rom 8:11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
Rom 8:12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
Rom 8:13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
Rom 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
The Hebrew word for life is חי ‘chay’ which literally pictures the stomach.
Man does not live by bread (לחם ‘lechem’ – food, sustenance) alone but by every WORD that proceeds from the mouth of YHWH (Deuteronomy 8:3). Bread comes forth from grain (דגן ‘dagan’) which comes from the same Hebrew root word for fish (גד ‘dag’), who were created on Day 5.
There are numerous fish, such as the dolphin and angel fish, whose bodies are in the proportion of the Fibonacci pattern.
The Scriptures liken the Word to bread/food. When our bellies are full of Torah/Yahshua we have life. When our bellies are empty of the Word/Messiah we are dead, we are walking in darkness.
Psa 102:4 My heart is stricken and dried like grass, so that I forget to eat my bread.
TARGUM
5. My heart is smitten like grass and will dry up; for I have forgotten the Torah of my instruction.
Manna
Psa 78:23 And He commanded the fine clouds above; and He opened the doors of the heavens;
Joh 6:30 Then they said to Him, Then what miraculous sign do You do that we may see and may believe You? What do You work?
Joh 6:31 Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, as it is written “He gave them bread out of Heaven to eat.” LXX-Psa. 77:24; MT-Psa. 78:24
Joh 6:32 Then Jesus said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, Moses has not given you the bread out of Heaven, but My Father gives you the true bread out of Heaven.
Joh 6:33 For the bread of God is He coming down out of Heaven and giving life to the world.
Joh 6:48 I am the Bread of life.
Joh 6:49 Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness and died.
Joh 6:50 This is the Bread coming down out of Heaven, that anyone may eat of it and not die.
Joh 6:51 I am the Living Bread that came down from Heaven. If anyone eats of this Bread, he will live forever. And indeed the bread which I will give is My flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.
Bread=His Flesh=Gospel
Man was made in the image of God (Genesis1:26)…Messiah is THE Image of God (Hebrews 1:3; 2 Corinthians 4:4), hence when we look at the human body it points to Messiah. The body as a whole, and each individual body part speaks the Gospel.
The Gospel is connected w/flesh. Where is the first reference to flesh? The union of Adam and Eve…a picture of Yahshua/Jesus and His bride becoming one is the fulfillment of the Good News.
Gen 2:21 And YHWH God caused a deep sleep to fall on the man, and he slept. And He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh underneath.
Gen 2:22 And YHWH God formed the rib which He had taken from the man into a woman, and brought her to the man.
Gen 2:23 And the man said, This now at last is bone from my bones, and flesh from my flesh. For this shall be called Woman, because this has been taken out of man.
Gen 2:24 Therefore, a man shall leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave to his wife and they shall become one flesh
Eph 5:30 For we are members of His body, of His flesh, and of His bones.
Eph 5:31 “For this, a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall be joined to his wife, and the two shall be one flesh.” Gen. 2:24
Eph 5:32 The mystery is great, but I speak as to Christ and as to the assembly.
The rib of Adam from whence his bride came out is linked to the number 5 which connects to the 5th day of creation and life.
חמש ‘chamesh’ is used to translate multiple terms in Hebrew. It is used for the number five/fifty, the hand, to be armed and the side of the body (fifth rib).
The ‘fifth rib’
H2570
חמשׁ
chômesh
This word is used in the following verses:
fifth, 4
2Sa_2:23, 2Sa_3:27, 2Sa_4:6, 2Sa_20:10
Messiah was wounded in the side (‘the fifth rib’).
Joh 19:34 But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a lance, and at once blood and water came out.
Adam’s bride came forth from his rib/side (Genesis 2:22) which is a picture of Messiah’s bride ‘coming forth’ when He offered Himself as an atonement to bring us back to God. Interestingly, the year of Jubilee, which occurs every 50 (חמשים ‘chamashim’) years (Leviticus 25:10-13) began on the Day of Atonement. The great trumpet (Isaiah 27:13) will be blown and those resurrected in the 1st resurrection will receive their inheritance in the land. As mentioned before, the shofar is in the Fibonacci sequence which the pattern the Most High uses in His creation of life.
As mentioned previously, our ears are based upon the Fibonacci pattern:
The Hebrew word for ears is אזן ‘ozen’ which is linked to the current study as the word for flesh/meat is מזן ‘mazan’ which comes from the same root זנ ‘zan.’
Rom 10:16 But not all obeyed the gospel, for Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our report?” Isa. 53:1
Rom 10:17 Then faith is of hearing, and hearing through the Word of God.
Rom 10:18 But I say, Did they not hear? Yes, rather, “into all the earth their voice went out, and to the ends of the world their words.” LXX-Psa. 18:5; MT-Psa. 19:4
Their voice went out. What is the voice of the Word/Jesus likened to? A Shofar (Revelation 1:10-11), which is in the Fibonacci pattern. The Fibonacci spiral is displayed as the number 1.618, rounded to 1.62. This is interesting to note as the Hebrew phrase קול יהוה ‘qol YHWH’ (Voice of YHWH) has the numerical equivalent of 162.
It is His Voice/Word that brings Life.
Isa 27:13 And it shall be in that day, the great ram’s horn shall be blown; and those perishing in the land of Assyria and the outcasts in the land of Egypt shall come and shall worship YHWH in the holy mountain in Jerusalem.
Joh 5:25 Truly, truly, I say to you that an hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and the ones hearing will live.
Joh 5:28 Do not marvel at this, for an hour is coming in which all those in the tombs will hear His voice.
Joh 5:29 And they will come out, the ones having done good into a resurrection of life; and the ones having practiced evil into a resurrection of judgment.
Joh 11:43 And saying these things, He cried out with a loud voice, Lazarus! Here! Outside!
1Th 4:16 Because the Lord Himself shall come down from Heaven with a commanding shout of an archangel’s voice, and with God’s trumpet. And the dead in Christ will rise again first.
Mat 24:31 And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather His elect from the four winds, from the ends of the heavens to their ends.
1Co 15:52 In a moment, in a glance of an eye, at the last trumpet; for a trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall all be changed.
The Voice of Jesus brings back the exiles. This is significant as it will be seen that the message of the Gospel given to the Apostles is likened to bread from the Table of showbread, as they are made ‘fishers’ of men.
Joh 10:3 The doorkeeper opens to him, and the sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out.
Joh 10:16 And I have other sheep which are not of this fold. I must also lead those, and they will hear My voice; and there will be one flock, one Shepherd.
Joh 10:27 My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.
Joh 10:28 And I give eternal life to them, and they shall not perish to the age, never! And not anyone shall pluck them out of My hand.
Jer 31:6 For there shall be a day when the watchmen on Ephraim’s hills shall call out, Arise and let us go up to Zion, to YHWH our God.
Jer 31:7 For so says YHWH, Sing with gladness for Jacob, and shout among the head of the nations. Cry out, give praise and say, O YHWH save Your people, the remnant of Israel.
Jer 31:8 Behold! I will bring them from the north country, and gather them from the recesses of the earth. Among them the blind, and the lame, the pregnant one, and the travailing one together, a great company shall return here.
Jer 31:9 They shall come with weeping, and I will lead them with prayers. I will cause them to walk by rivers of waters, in a right way; they will not stumble in it. For I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is My first-born.
Jer 31:10 Hear the Word of YHWH, O nations, and declare in the coastlands far away, and say, He who scattered Israel will gather him and keep him, as a shepherd his flock.
Bread of His presence, the Showbread {פּנים ‘paniym’}. Jesus is His פּנים ‘paniym’ (presence, face)
Psa 42:5 O my soul, why are you cast down and moan within me? Hope in God, for I shall yet thank Him for the salvation of His presence.
Psa 44:3 For they did not inherit the land with their own sword; yea, their own arm did not save them. But it was Your right hand (Messiah – Exodus 15) and Your arm (Messiah – Isaiah 53) and the light of Your face, because You favored them.
Interestingly, the arm, hand and face are in the Fibonacci pattern.
The Light of His Face is linked with the sound of the Shofar.
Psa 89:15 Blessed is the people knowing the joyful sound; O YHWH, they shall walk in the light of Your face.
What is the joyful sound? The sound of the Shofar & Trumpets.
Psa 98:5 Sing praise to YHWH with the lyre; with the lyre and the voice of a song.
Psa 98:6 With trumpets and the sound of a horn, make a joyful noise before YHWH the King.
The sound of the trumpets = the sound of His Word.
Num 10:2 Make two trumpets of silver for yourself. You shall make them of hammered work, and they shall be to you for the calling of the congregation, and for causing the camps to pull up stakes.
Psa 12:6 The Words of YHWH are pure Words, like silver refined in an earthen furnace, purified seven times.
The bread of the Presence sat upon a table. The Hebrew word for table is שלחן ‘shulchan’ coming from the root שלח ‘shalach’ meaning to send out, as in one sending out his hand to the table to receive food (life). This is the concept of an Apostle (שוליח ‘sholiach’), one who sends forth a message of good news (בּשׂר ‘basar’ – meat/gospel).
The first use of the word שלח ‘shalach’ is seen in Genesis 3:23 where Adam was expelled from the Garden due to the sin of eating from the tree of knowledge.
Gen 3:23 YHWH God sent him out {שלח ‘shalach’} of the garden of Eden to till the ground out of which he was taken.
Adam was to work the ground from whence he was taken. Adam, who partook of the tree of knowledge which brings death, sent forth { his message to the world (1 Corinthians 15:22). The bread that comes forth from the earth brings temporal life but cannot deliver from death. The message of Messiah comes forth from the Tree of Life. It is the bread from heaven that brings life to the world.
Apostles take for the Bread of Life to the world.
Isa 52:7 How beautiful on the mountains are the feet* of him proclaiming good news, making peace heard, bearing tidings of good (בּשׂר ‘basar’), making heard salvation (ישׁוּעה ‘yeshuah’), saying to Zion, Your God reigns.
*The feet are in the pattern of the Fibonacci sequence.
Joh 4:32 But He said to them, I have food to eat which you do not know.
Joh 4:33 Then the disciples said to one another, No one brought Him food to eat?
Joh 4:34 Jesus said to them, My food is that I should do the will of Him who sent Me, and that I may finish His work.
Joh 6:51 I am the Living Bread that came down from Heaven. If anyone eats of this Bread, he will live forever. And indeed the bread which I will give is My flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.
Going back to the connection between the gospel (בּשׂר ‘basar’) and Adam & Eve…
The word for bride is:
This comes from the root כל ‘kol’ which is related to the belly (חי ‘chay’-life):
The Hebrew word for food comes from this same root:
The English word cell comes from this Hebrew root. The human cell is designed just as the Tabernacle/Temple. DNA, in the nucleus of the cell is the blueprint for life & the flesh. It corresponds to the 10 commandments and the Torah in the Holy of Holies of the Tabernacle. DNA is formed in the Fibonacci pattern.
Shapes, Numbers, Patterns, And The Divine Proportion In God’s Creation
“When we realize that the information to produce these spirals and numbers in living things is stored in the DNA, should we then be surprised to find that the DNA molecule is 21 angstroms in width and the length of one full turn in its spiral is 34 angstroms, both Fibonacci numbers? The DNA molecule is literally one long stack of golden rectangles.”
The DNA spiral is a Golden Section:
The DNA molecule, the program for all life, is based on the golden section. It measures 34 angstroms long by 21 angstroms wide for each full cycle of its double helix spiral.
34 and 21, of course, are numbers in the Fibonacci series and their ratio, 1.6190476 closely approximates phi, 1.6180339.
B-DNA has spirals in phi proportions. DNA in the cell appears as a double-stranded helix referred to as B-DNA. This form of DNA has a two groove in its spirals, with a ratio of phi in the proportion of the major groove to the minor groove, or roughly 21 angstroms to 13 angstroms.”
The Hebrew word for Temple (היכל ‘heykal’) comes from the same root as cell, food and bride (כל ‘kol’).
This corresponds perfectly to the Temple/Tabernacle of God and the word cell means hidden.
Eze 7:22 I also will turn My face from them, and they shall defile My hidden place. And violent ones shall enter into it and defile it.
Our bodies are His Temple (Ephesians 2:21-22; 5:30; 1 Corinthians 6:19) which are intimately linked to the Fibonacci sequence & the number 5 (the 5th day).
http://goldennumber.net/five%285%29.htm
“The number 5 is intrinsically related to Phi and the Fibonacci series
Phi can be derived from several formulas based on the number 5. The most traditional, based on the geometric construction of phi is this:
This formula for phi can also be expressed all in fives as:
And, as pointed out by W. Nathan Saunders, the terms in above representation of phi can be expressed in yet another way that involves four 5′s:
Phi appears in the geometry of the 5-sided pentagon
Take a pentagon with 5 equal sides and connect all the points to form a 5-pointed star. The ratios of the lengths of the resulting line segments are all based on phi.
5 is the 5th Fibonacci number
5 is also the 5th of the Fibonacci numbers, including 0, 1, 2, 3, and 5.
5 appears in the human body, which has proportions based on phi
Another interesting aspect of phi and five is in relation to the design of the human body, which in addition to being based on phi relationships in its proportions, has:
* 5 appendages from the torso, in the two arms, two legs and a head,
* 5 appendages on each of legs and arms in the five fingers and five toes,
* 5 openings on the face, and
* 5 senses in sight, sound, touch, taste and smell.
The Divine Proportion in the Body
The white line is the body’s height.
The blue line, a golden section of the white line, defines the distance from the head to the finger tips.
The yellow line, a golden section of the blue line, defines the distance from the head to the navel and the elbows.
The green line, a golden section of the yellow line, defines the distance from the head to the pectorals and inside top of the arms, the width of the shoulders, the length of the forearm and the shin bone.
The magenta line, a golden section of the green line, defines the distance from the head to the base of the skull and the width of the abdomen. The sectioned portions of the magenta line determine the position of the nose and the hairline.
Although not shown, the golden section of the magenta line (also the short section of the green line) defines the width of the head and half the width of the chest and the hips.”
The Human face, ears, and teeth are based upon Phi
The human hand and foot are based on Phi
The human heartbeat is based upon Phi
Warfare
The number 5 is linked to warfare. The word for five in Hebrew is חמש ‘chamesh’ which means the hand, or arming for battle.
War began in the beginning, when man reached out his hand and partook of the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
The War is over through the resurrection in Messiah. His people become the Sons of God through Him.
Gal 4:4 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,
Warfare & bread
Gen 3:19 By the sweat of your face you shall eat bread until your return to the ground. For you have been taken out of it; for you are dust, and to dust you shall return.
Bread is linked to warfare
War is over through the resurrection in Messiah
Job 14:14 If a man dies, will he revive? All the days of my warfare I will wait, until my change comes. Isa 40:2 Speak lovingly to the heart of Jerusalem; yea, cry to her that her warfare is done, that her iniquity is pardoned; for she has taken from the hand of YHWH double for all her sins.
He gives us the bread that comes without toil
Rev 2:17 The one who has an ear, hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. To the one overcoming, I will give him to eat from the hidden manna. And I will give to him a white stone, and on the stone a new name having been written, which no one knows except the one receiving it.
Joh 6:48 I am the Bread of life.
Joh 6:49 Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness and died.
Joh 6:50 This is the Bread coming down out of Heaven, that anyone may eat of it and not die.
Joh 6:51 I am the Living Bread that came down from Heaven. If anyone eats of this Bread, he will live forever. And indeed the bread which I will give is My flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.
The battle between His people and the dragon is illustrated in the book of Jonah. Jonah overcame the great fish through the resurrection after 3 days.
Jon 1:17 And YHWH had appointed a great fish to swallow Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.
The belly of the great fish is likened unto hell
Jon 2:1 And Jonah prayed to YHWH his God out of the belly of the fish.
Jon 2:2 And he said, I cried out to YHWH from my distress. And He answered me. Out of the belly of Sheol I cried for help, and You heard my voice.
Jonah was a picture of Messiah (Matthew 12:39), and also His body.
Heb 2:14 Since, then, the children have partaken of flesh and blood, in like manner He Himself also shared the same things, that through death He might cause to cease the one having the power of death, that is, the devil;
Hos 6:1 Come and let us return to YHWH. For He has torn, and He will heal us. He has stricken, and He will bind us up.
The above references to the numbers 3 and 5 are significant as 3 is the 4th Fibonacci number and 5 is the 5th Fibonacci number.
Praise
ALL things point to Him. May He be glorified in all that we think, say and do.
2Co 10:5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
The word translated as obedience in 2 Corinthians 10:5 comes from the Greek word ὑπακοή ‘hupakoe,’ which corresponds to the Hebrew word ענוה ‘anavah.’ ענוה ‘anavah’ means to be humble, low, submissive, meek…to bow down before.
Php 2:10 that at the name of Jesus “every knee should bow,” of heavenly ones, and earthly ones, and ones under the earth,
Php 2:11 and “every tongue should confess” that Jesus Christ is “Lord,” to the glory of God the Father. Isa. 45:23
To confess is also to give thanks.
יהודה ‘yehudah’ (Jew – Romans 2:29) comes from the Hebrew root ידה ‘yadah’ which means to raise the hands in confession, giving thanks or praise. ידה ‘yadah’ comes from the root word יד ‘yad’ which is the Hebrew word for hand.
1Jn 4:2 By this know the Spirit of God: every spirit which confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God.
The Gospel connection
Rom 10:10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth one confesses unto salvation.
Rom 10:11 For the Scripture says, “Everyone believing on Him will not be put to shame.” Isa. 28:16
Rom 10:12 For there is no difference both of Jew and of Greek, for the same Lord of all is rich toward all the ones calling on Him.
Rom 10:13 For everyone, “whoever may call on the name of the Lord will be saved.” Joel 2:32
Rom 10:14 How then may they call on One into whom they have not believed? And how may they believe One of whom they have not heard? And how may they hear without preaching?
Rom 10:15 And how may they preach if they are not sent? Even as it has been written, “How beautiful” “the feet of those preaching the gospel of peace, of those preaching the gospel of good things.” Isa. 52:7
Rom 10:16 But not all obeyed the gospel, for Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our report?” Isa. 53:1
Rom 10:17 Then faith is of hearing, and hearing through the Word of God.
Isa 40:9 Go up for yourself on the high mountain, one bearing good news to Zion; lift up your voice with strength, one bearing good news to Jerusalem. Lift up, do not fear. Say to the cities of Judah, Behold! Your God!
Isa 40:10 Behold, the Lord YHWH will come with strength, and His arm rules for Him. Behold, His reward is with Him, and His wage before Him.
Isa 40:11 He shall feed His flock like a shepherd; He shall gather lambs with His arm; and carry them in His bosom; those with young He will lead;
1Jn 4:15 Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.
In Greek ‘confession’ comes from the word ὁμολογέω ‘homologeō’ which literally means ‘joined to the Word.’
The Hebrew word הללויה ‘HalleluYah’, which means praise Yah, is a perfect depiction of this concept of lifting the hands in praise. הללויה ‘halleluYah’ comes from the following root word:
The pictograph meaning of praise means to look toward the North Star.
It is interesting to note that in sign language, the way one says ‘hallelujah’ is very similar to this ancient Hebrew concept. In sign language the flat hands come together, then circle around and change to X hands and then back again to flat hands raised in the air.
This is the end result:
This is the formation of the letter ה ‘heh.’
The letter ה ‘heh’ has the numerical value of 5 which is the number of God’s grace. His grace was revealed through the outstretched arms of the Messiah on the cross. The word HalleluYah is used 27 times (23 times in the TaNaKH and 4 times in the New Testament) in the Bible corresponding to the 27 bones in the human hand. The is yet another connection to the meaning of praise being the raising up the hands.
The Hebrew letter ה ‘heh’ {spelled הה} is the picture of a person looking at a great sight causing that person to take a deep breath. This word is used in Ezekiel 30:2 translated as ‘woe.’ היה ‘hayah’ which means to exist comes from this root word as our existence is dependent upon our breath. היה ‘hayah’ is the Hebrew source for “I AM” or “I Exist” (Exodus 3:14). Messiah Yahshua/Jesus is “I AM” (John 8:24, 28, 56-58; 13:18-19; 18:7-9; Mark 14:61-62).
The Letter ‘heh’ is linked to breath, and therefore to life. The pronunciation of the letter ‘heh’ is the exhaling of breath. This is where life comes from (Genesis 2:7; 7:22). This breath comes from Messiah (Psalm 33:6; John 1:2-4; Lamentations 4:20).
The pictograph of the letter ה ‘heh’ is of a man with his arms stretched out. It was through the cross, where Messiah had is arms stretched out, that He revealed that He is “I AM”. In Genesis 22:7, YHWH God literally told Abraham that He would provide Himself as the lamb for sacrifice. In John 8:28, Yahshua/Jesus declared that we would see that He is the “I AM” on the cross.
Joh 8:28 Then Jesus said to them, When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I AM; and from Myself I do nothing; but as My Father taught Me, these things I speak.
The Hebrew word אהיה ‘ehyeh’ (I AM) has the numerical value of 21, the 8th Fibonacci number. 21 is also equal to the Hebrew word יטב ‘yatav’ which means good or beautiful. This is an identical meaning to grace, חן ‘chen.’
Thanksgiving & Grace
Rev 7:12 Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.
The Greek word translated as thanksgiving in Revelation 7:12 is εὐχαριστία ‘eucharistia’ which is used in the Septuagint to translate the Hebrew word חן ‘chen’ which means grace, but also a camp.
As mentioned previously, הלל ‘hallel’ (praise) literally depicts one looking towards the north star. The constellation Cepheus (the enthroned king) is located directly above the North star in the night sky.
Again, the Hebrew word HalleluYah is from הלל ‘hallel’ which is pictographically displayed by a man with two outstretched arms, holding the shepherd’s staff or it could be said the Shepherd with outstretched arms.
As Hallelujah is said to be the only word that man speaks that is the same in every language, it is only appropriate to share that the Shepherd with outstretched arms is what gathers and unifies mankind through the love of the Father. These themes of unification and love are linked to the Fibonacci pattern, more on this below.
There are multiple words in Hebrew for love, all linking back to the bosom. The most common is אהב ‘ahav’ which has the meaning of a gift and the expressions and actions of one towards the family. The pictograph meaning displays the gift of the Father to mankind of His only begotten Son. Again linking the bosom, the family and the crucifixion.
Joh 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that everyone believing into Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Joh 15:13 Greater love than this has no one, that anyone should lay down his soul for his friends.
From the root:
The Pictograph meaning of Love
The first and last letters spell out the word for Father (אב ‘ab’) and the middle letter is a picture of a man with outstretched arms. The Love of the Father is revealed through the Messiah on the tree, gathering all mankind back to their Creator. Embedded within all of creation is the Word/Jesus . This teaches us of God’s nature as Creator and Redeemer, both of which were revealed through the Lord Jesus.
All of His creation is to praise/point to Him.
Psa 148:1 Praise YHWH! Praise YHWH from the heavens; praise Him in the heights.
Psa 148:2 Praise Him, all His angels; praise Him, all His hosts.
Psa 148:3 Praise Him, sun and moon; praise Him, all you stars of light.
Psa 148:4 Praise Him, O heavens of heavens; and O waters that are above the heavens.
Psa 148:5 Let them praise the name of YHWH; for He commanded, and they were created.
Psa 148:6 And He established them forever and ever; He gave a decree that they not pass away.
Psa 148:7 Let the sea-monsters and all deeps praise YHWH from the earth,
Psa 148:8 fire and hail, snow and smoke, stormy wind fulfilling His Word,
Psa 148:9 mountains and all hills, fruitful trees and all cedars,
Psa 148:10 beasts and all livestock, creeping things and birds of the wing,
Psa 148:11 kings of the earth and all people, princes and all judges of the earth,
Psa 148:12 young men and virgins too, old men and youths:
Psa 148:13 Let them praise the name of YHWH; for His name alone is exalted; His glory is above the earth and heavens.
Psa 148:14 He also lifts up the horn of His people, the praise of all His saints, of the sons of Israel, a people near to Him, HalleluYah!
Heb 13:15 By Him (Yahshua/Jesus) therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.
The Hebrew word for create is ברא ‘bara’ which pictographically points to Messiah Jesus, the Son of God.
He is the Word made flesh (John 1:1).
The Hebrew word for word is דבר ‘davar’ which literally means order. Order is the definition of ‘cosmos’ {κόσμος ‘kosmos’} which is synonymous with the universe. The universe is a “single spoken sentence”. The cosmos/universe points directly the Word who is Messiah.
Love, Grace, Beauty
נעים ‘naiym’ means sweet, pleasant or beautiful. נעים ‘naiym’ is used in reference to the name of God in Psalm 135:3. Scripture equates His Name with His Word (Revelation 19:13). God (and His Word which reveals His character) is love (1 John 4:8, 16). Creation is a reflection of God’s Word and His love. The beauty found in nature points to His Word/love.
The Oracles/Word of God is to be in our mouth (1 Peter 4:11) which are beautiful (Psalm 19:10; 119:103; 135:3).
YHWH is the Great Artist, the Maker of all things. The English word ‘artist’ comes form the Hebrew word יצר ‘yatsar’ which means to create or form, as a potter molding clay. YHWH is the Former/Maker of all things (Jeremiah 10:16; 51:19).
In Greek, the word for make or workmanship is ποίημα ‘poiēma’ which is the source of our English word ‘poem’ (Romans 1:20, 23; Ephesians 2:10). YHWH is the Great Artist, He is the Great Poet. He created man in His Image (Genesis 1:26-27)…could this be why we see art and poetry as beauty? He is the source of all beauty (Psalm 27:4; 90:17; 45:2; Zechariah 9:17).
The English word ‘beauty’ traces back to the Latin word ‘bellus’ which means beautiful of pretty. ‘Bellus’ connects back to two Hebrew words, יפה ‘yafa’ and צבי ‘tsevi,’ both of which means beautiful.
יפה ‘yafah’ consists of the letters י ‘yod’ which means a hand, פ ‘peh’ which means the mouth, and ה ‘heh’ which means something revealed. Here in this word is the natural inclination of man to cover his hand with his mouth in amazement at a beautiful or miraculous thing (Job 21:5). Covering the mouth is a sign of silence (Judges 18:19) which occurs when one sees something “breathtaking” (Psalm 33:8).
Scripture speaks of Messiah Yahshua/Jesus as יפה ‘yafah.’
Psa 45:2 Thou art fairer {יפה ‘yafah’} than the children of men: grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.
Zec 9:16 And the LORD their God shall save them in that day as the flock of his people: for they shall be as the stones of a crown, lifted up as an ensign upon his land.
Zec 9:17 For how great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty {יפה ‘yafah’} ! corn shall make the young men cheerful, and new wine the maids.
The second word for beauty is צבי ‘tsevi’ which literally means a deer or gazelle as the deer/gazelle personifies gracefulness and beauty. Scripture likens Messiah to a צבי ‘tsevi.’
Son 2:8 The voice of my beloved! behold, he cometh leaping upon the mountains, skipping upon the hills.
Son 2:9 My beloved is like a roe or a young hart: behold, he standeth behind our wall, he looketh forth at the windows, shewing himself through the lattice.
Isa 4:2 In that day shall the branch of the LORD be beautiful {צבי ‘tsevi’} and glorious, and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and comely for them that are escaped of Israel.
Psa 50:2 Out of Zion {the glorious land צבי ‘tsevi’ Ezekiel 20:6; Jeremiah 3:9; Daniel 8:9; 11:16, 41, 45} , the perfection of beauty, God hath shined.
In that day, at the resurrection, we shall see His beauty when we will be resurrected into His Image (1 Corinthians 15:49; 2 Corinthians 3:18; Psalm 17:15; Romans 8:28-30; Galatians 3:26-29; Hebrews 13:21).
Isa 33:14 The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?
Isa 33:15 He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from holding of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil;
Isa 33:16 He shall dwell on high: his place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks: bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure.
Isa 33:17 Thine eyes shall see the king in his beauty: they shall behold the land that is very far off.
“Only “tri-viding” the whole preserves the relationship to the whole
And so it is with our understanding of God, that we are created in His image. Not by dividing the whole, but only by tri-viding the whole does each piece retain its unique relationship to the whole. Only here do we see three that are two that are one.
Jesus, the Son of God and the Son of Man. The Book of John begins with these words that capture the essence of this:
In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God.
Jesus, in John 14:9, expressed a similar thought:
Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father.
Here the human Jesus (the Son of Man) is to the divine Jesus (the Son of God) as the divine Jesus (the Son of God) is to God (the Father or whole).” {Golden Number – Theology}
