Why Condemn No Man?

Condemn No Man
(a saying from the Talmud)

Condemn no man

and consider nothing
impossible,

for there is no man who
does not have a future,

and there is nothing that
does not have its hour.

What Name Should I Tell Them?

In Moses (peace be upon him) first encounter with the Almighty, he was instructed to deliver the children of Israel from their bondage in Egypt. Moses felt the trouble of introducing his newly known Mighty One to the elders back there. The elders have already known a lot of idol names in Egypt. Who could He be among them? So he asked the One before him, "What name should I tell them?" Apparently, His name was not among the names of the idols of Egypt.

Moses was told to say to the Israelites: "YaHWeH, the Mighty One of your fathers - the Mighty One of Abraham, the Mighty of Isaac, and the Mighty One of Jacob - has sent me to you." And He further said, "This is My name forever, the name by which I am to be remembered from generation to generation," Exodus 3:15.

Ever wondered why the Almighty wanted Himself to be known and be called by that name "YaHWeH"?

The hieroglyphics in the blue Sapphire Stone Tablets may provide a clue. The Ten Commandments begins with the self introduction of the giver of the commandments: "I am YaHWeH your Mighty One, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery," Exodus 20:2.

His name in the Sapphire Stone is expressed in a 4 symbol hieroglyphics written by the Almighty's own finger: Yod, He, Waw, He. What do those symbols mean to us? What do those symbols mean to Him?

Yod is a Hebrew hieroglyphic symbol of a hand. The hand is used to represent giving and receiving.

He, this is symbolized by a sprouting plant. It represents light or life moving towards the light.

Waw is symbolized by a balance. This is used to connect, at times representing justice and mercy.

Yod and He is YaH, these when combined means Giver of Life. When we say HalleluYaH, it means Praise ye Giver of Life.

Waw connects the two He in He Waw He. This means from life to life, justice and mercy from life to life, or justice and mercy from eternity to eternity.

Yod He Waw He, pronounced YaHWeH, collectively, the symbols means the Eternal, Just and Merciful Giver of Life.

The blue Sapphire Stone Tablets do not just tell us of a name. The symbols depict the character of the owner of the name. We see here the Creator lending His wisdom through the letters of the Sapphire Stone Tablets, that we may see and understand His nature.

What Does Aleph Means?

The English alphabet begins with an "a". What does "a" means? Nothing! The word "alphabet" is etymologically Greek which means alpha & beta, and what does "alpha" means? Nothing! But the Greek writing symbols were derived from the Hebraic system of writing which they call aleph beth, and what does "aleph" means? Something.

In one of the discourses of Yahshua the Messiah, commonly known Jesus, he asked the elders "what does aleph means?" This is a very profound question for us now, although the elders, in their own Hebraic culture, can provide an equally profound answer.

Aleph itself is profound, and the answer to the question will lead us into the profoundness of the rest of the letters of the Hebrew alphabet which consists of 22 symbols. All these symbols were taught by the Almighty Himself to the children of Israel via two tablets of stones. Aleph leads us to the wisdom of the Creator.

The first man was called by the name Adam (peace be upon him). The Almighty thought that was appropriate. In Hebrew writings, his name consisted of three letters: Aleph, Daleth, & Mem. By Hebrew hieroglyphics, aleph means first or beginning, as in the aleph and the tau (the beginning and the perfection). Daleth is symbolized by a door. And mem is water which is sometimes used to represent people or multitude. The letters in the name of Adam would collectively mean as the first door of the multitude. He was the first person commonly called man, the first woman was pulled out from him, and the children of men begun with the fragmentation of Adam's soul into seeds through the woman. Indeed, it was profoundly appropriate that the Creator should call him ADAM, and the Almighty's wisdom was first revealed in "Aleph."
