#12 (Christians be sure to look) Atheists what would be your LOGICAL rebuttal to this evidence of God's existence?
This blew my mind. It came from a YOUTUBE video but when I checked it with other sources I found that it was true.
The first word of Genesis in the Bible is the Hebrew word “bereshit” meaning “In beginning”. The Hebrew letters which form this word are Bet, Resh, Alef, Shin, Yod, and Tau.
Each of these letters are also words with a number of meanings:
Bet means: tent, house, the body, the household, inside, within, or amid
Resh means: a head, a person, what is the highest, the most important and chief
Alef means: ox, bull, gentile, tame, the leader, strength, what is first, Adonai (God), a thousand and teach.
Shin means: teeth, ivory, the point of a rock, a peak, to devour, to consume, destroy, something sharp.
Yod means: a hand closing, to work, a deed done, a finished work
Tau mean: a mark, to sign, cross, ownership, to seal, covenant, join two things, together, and the last.
The first two letters, bet and resh when used together mean “son” (coming from the most important person of the household)
As a result the VERY FIRST WORD OF THE BIBLE when using the first two letters as “son” and the remaining letters as individual words could easily be seen to mean “The Son of God is destroyed by his own work on the cross.”
Genesis existed as an oral story for centuries and was written down perhaps as long as 4,000 years ago. Yet the very first word can be seen to forecast what was to come 2000 years later with Christ. This could ONLY have happened by God Himself.
