Question

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.

So, if you cherry pick possible meanings, and use the first two letters as one word, but then use one letter as one word,  . . .

Do you have to stand on one foot, or close one eye and squint with the other?

This is like the Bible Code - if you start creating weird rules of how to parse a book then you can eventually find one that gives "deep and meaningful" results.

Using your "meanings"  that first word could be "I affirm that you ate the head of an ox in my house"

Why is your spin on this more meaningful than mine- unless you have already decided what the "right" answer should be.

Someone looking for the truth looks at the evidence, and then comes to the conclusion that best fits that evidence.

Someone looking to justify their belief looks at the evidence, and then cherry picks and spins the evidence to come to the conclusion they already had. . . . . .  And that is what is being done here.

So you are saying a book is proof God exists.  Wow, and I bet you really believe that.

You fool - bereshit is Aramaic for "bullshit," and not surprisingly so.

From the first letter of the first word it is a bullshit lies to control you.

The writers of the New Testament had the advantage of being able to know what the Old Testament "predicts". Not a big stretch to play the conspiracy theory card on that one.

You won't move the ball down the field with this one. But you may find it personally rewarding to read about the Hebrew word for 'one' (`echadh) and how it's used in Genesis.
