A Hidden Torah Secret
In some of our messages we have mentioned an unusual
discovery concerning characteristics of the Hebrew text of
the Torah, the first five books of the Old Testament. We
have received many letters requesting clarification of
this, so we've taken the liberty of including this brief
review. I'm indebted to my dear friend, Gerry Schroeder, a
nuclear physicist in Jerusalem, for this little jewel.
The first five books of the Bible (the Books of Moses) are
known as the Torah, (Remember, Hebrew goes from right to
left; in this article we'll transliterate these four
letters as "TORH.")
A Hidden Structure
In the Hebrew of Genesis, if you take the first "T", then
count 49 letters, the next letter (the 50th) is "O"; the
next 50th is "R"; and then the next 50th is "H". In other
words, after the first "T", in 50 letter increments, we
find the letters spelling Torah (TORaH). (See Figure 1.)
In the Book of Exodus, we also encounter a similar result.
What a coincidence! (The rabbis insist that Coincidences is
not a kosher word!)
It doesn't seem to work with the third Book of Moses,
Leviticus. But stay tuned.
In the fourth book of the Torah, the Book of Numbers, we
discover this 49-letter interval works with HROT," that is,
TORH backwards. (See Figure 2.) A similar 49-letter interval
also appears in the fifth book of the Torah, the Book of
Deuteronomy.
However, in the middle book, the Book of Leviticus, it
doesn't seem to work either way. But it does work for YHWH,
the sacred name of God ("Yahweh or Jehovah," translated
"Lord" in the King James Version), if you count in seven
letter increments. (See Figure 3.)
Here is the overview:
Genesis Exodus Leviticus Numbers Deuteronomy
TORH TORH YHWH HROT HROT
---> ---> <--- <---
It appears that the Torah (TORH) always points toward the
Name of God.
This may be just another hint that there is much more
hidden in the structure of the text itself than we have
ever dreamed. Clearly, there is much more to this than
first meets the eye of the casual observer.
The Interval of 49
The use of seven with the name of God shouldn't surprise
us, with sabbaths of days, weeks, months, and years, and
the many other heptadic structures throughout the Bible.[1]
But why the intervals of 49?
The square of seven is 49. But is there more to it than
this? [2]
Leviticus 23:15 instructs us to count 49 days from Passover
and then to celebrate the Feast of Weeks on the next, the
50th, day. The Feast of Weeks commemorates the giving of
the Torah (the "law") on Mount Sinai.
Our inquiry is just beginning.
The Prophetic Feasts
We know that the Feasts of Moses are not only
commemorative; they are also prophetic.[3] (Review our
Briefing Package, The Feasts of Israel, highlighted on page
22.)
John the Baptist first introduced Jesus publicly as the
Lamb of God that taketh away the sin of the world." That's
a very Jewish label! Jesus is, of course, "our Passover" Lamb.[4]
And it was on Passover that this feast was fulfilled when Jesus
was crucified as an offering on our behalf.
On the morning after the Sabbath after Passover, is the
Feast of First Fruits.[5] It was on this very morning that
the empty tomb was discovered. He, indeed, is the "first
fruits"[6] of "the harvest."
The Feast of Weeks
It is also widely recognized that the Feast of Weeks (also
known as the Feast of Pentecost, "50") is predictive of the
Church. It was during this feast that the "Church" was
born.[7]
Since this feast points to the Church, it is interesting
that the Feast of Weeks involves the only use unleavened
bread in the Levitical observances. Leaven is always an
idiom for sin: leaven corrupts by puffing up. Even in the
New Testament, Jesus and Paul both refer to leaven twice as
an idiomatic application for sin.[8]
Since the Feast of Pentecost is associated with the Gentile
"Church," this is telling us something.
Furthermore, this feast may not yet be completely
fulfilled.
The Flood of Noah
There are three groups of people with respect to the
judgement of the flood:
a) Those that perished in the flood;
b) Those that were preserved through the flood:
Noah, his three sons, and their four wives; and
c) Those that were removed before the flood:
Enoch, who was "raptured" or translated.[9]
Is there a pattern here? "As the days of Noah were, so
shall the coming of the Son of Man be."
It is provocative that there is also a rabbinical tradition
that Enoch was both born and "raptured" on the 6th of
Sivan, the Feast of Weeks. Perhaps the coming judgment of
the earth will follow the same pattern and Enoch will turn
out to be a foreshadowing (a "type") of the Church! [10]
Let's watch and see.
Remember, the Feast of Weeks is associated with the
harvest. It is in celebration of this feast that the Book
of Ruth is traditionally read. Study this charming little
book, especially from a prophetic perspective, and you'll
be blessed out of your socks! (Or should I say out of your
shoes?" Check it out.)[11]
In Summary
It is interesting that even in the hidden structure Of the
Biblical text itself there are hints and evidence of
careful and skillful design.
We are dealing with 66 books, penned by 40 authors over
thousands of years, yet they are demonstrably the result of
precise, supernatural engineering. Every detail, every
letter, even the place names, are all there by deliberate
design. Even the parts of the letters, Jesus said, are
significant.[12]
Would you expect anything less from the "Word of God?"
But if that is so, then what a fantastic opportunity we
have! What other treasures has He hidden there for our
learning? What a fabulous "hobby" to study, explore, and
discover!
Isn't God great? And He is anxious for us to be involved in
what He is doing!
