For if it had not been Secret, he would have added to the evangel that which he gave forth was his; but he made up this book sealed up in the Hebrew characters, which he put forth even in such a way that the book, written in Hebrew letters and by the hand of himself, might be...
Over the years the letters may have transformed somewhat by flipping either to the left or right or upside down. So the letter A, known in Greek as ‘Alpha’ and in Hebrew as ‘Aleph’, was originally a pictogram of an ox’s head. If you turn the letter upside-down and return it t...
Also, the phrase He who overcomes (v. 7) is characteristic of the phraseology in the promises made by Christ in the letters to the seven churches (cf. 2:7, 11, 17, 26; 3:5, 12, 21). The one who overcomes receives this promise: “and I will be His God and he will be my so...

This echoes the Hebrew understanding of "yada," which means to know deeply and personally. In the New Testament, knowing God is often associated with recognizing Jesus as the Messiah and living in accordance with His teachings (John 17:3). The claim to know God is significant in a culture...
Now what are "wanton eyes"? As this is translated into the English language you don't catch the real meaning inspired by God into the original Hebrew words at all! Actually, when the meaning of the inspired Hebrew is examined, there is no one word in the English language to convey the...
