Subject:      Aleph / Tav in Scripture


      The Messiah Yeshua/Jesus called himself (Alpha and Omega) which 
is (Aleph and Tav) in Hebrew.  (Revelation 1:8, 11,  22:13). This is 
a reference to ( Isaiah 41:4, 44:6, 48:12). 

     There are other scripture references of the Aleph / Tav.

Genesis 1:1 "In the beginning God (ALEPH/TAV) created the heavens and the
earth."

Deuteronomy 6:4,5 "Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one!  You
shall love (ALEPH/TAV) the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your
soul, and with all your strength."

Deuteronomy 18:18 "'I will raise up for them a Prophet like you from among
their brethren, and will put My words in His mouth, and He shall speak to
them (ALEPH/TAV) all that I command Him."

Deuteronomy 18:20 "'But the prophet who presumes to speak a word in My name
(ALEPH/TAV), which I have not commanded him to speak, or who speaks in the
name of other gods, that prophet shall die.'"

Isaiah 53:6 "All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned, every one,
to his own way; and the Lord has laid on Him (ALEPH/TAV) the iniquity of us
all."

Zechariah 11:12 "Then I said to them, æIf it is agreeable to you, give me my
wages; and if not, refrain.' So they weighed out for my wages (ALEPH/TAV)
thirty pieces of silver."

Zechariah 12:10 "And I will pour on the house of David and on the
inhabitants of Jerusalem the Spirit of grace and supplication; then they will look on Me
(ALEPH/TAV) whom they pierced. Yes, they will mourn for Him as one mourns
for his only son, and grieve for Him as one grieves for a firstborn.

Zechariah 13:7 "Awake, O sword, against My Shepherd, Against the Man who is
My Companion," Says the LORD of hosts. "Strike (ALEPH/TAV) the Shepherd, And
the sheep will be scattered; Then I will turn My hand against the little ones."

What I find extremely interesting is that the Jews do not accept the idea of
Messiah being Deity, and yet we find passages about Jehovah (Gen 1:1, Deu
6:4,5, etc.) with the ALEPH/TAV attached to the verse and we also find
Messianic verses (Zech 12:10, Isa 53:6, etc.) that have the ALEPH/TAV
attached as well.
