22 - A&Ω - Aleph & Tav
“I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.” (Rev. 22:12)
Alpha & Omega are the first and the last letters of the Greek alphabet. The 1st and 22nd letter of the Hebrew alphabet are, respectively, א (aleph) and ת (tav).
The letter Aleph means “an ox” and symbolizes a sacrificial animal offered to God. The letter Tav means “a mark” and evokes even greater interest.
The image displays the two great interlinked cycles of history. The first cycle (on the bottom) represents the time from Abraham to Christ. It begins with Aleph in the 21st Century BC with the call of Abraham (Aleph KeyWord Avraham) and ends with Tav in the First Century AD ....
...when Christ was crucified, the Temple was destroyed, and the Jewish Age was consummated. The second cycle (on the top) begins with Aleph in the First Century with the incarnation of God (Aleph KeyWord Elohim) in Christ and the Birth of His Church at Pentecost...
To see how the Aleph of the AD cycle overlaps the Tav of the BC cycle in the First Century AD we need to take a side-view of the diagram which is actually a three-dimensional spiral centered on the incarnation of the Lord Jesus Christ:
The word kol (all) (Kaph Lamed) is related to et - את - (Aleph Tav) through a natural symmetry on the Wheel. Beginning at the center, follow the fig 8 (mobius symbol of infinity) to see how Aleph-Tav is interwoven with Kaph-Lamed to spell את-כל (et-kol, the Sign of Everything.
It is a Divine Title, and it seals the Bible on multiple reiterative levels; first as a natural symbol of wholeness and completeness, second as a symbol of Eternity, and third as a symbol of the Word, with all these overtones being combined, compacted, pressed down....
...and shaken together into the ultimate symbol of the Complete Perfection of the Eternal Word of God.
It is the incarnation of Christ as the inauguration of the Kingdom of God at the midpoint of history.
"Christ is the Center of History"
"It is done. I am the Alpha and Omega."
