GOD the FATHER and MOTHER in Alphabetics

        Some interesting witnesses and enlightening insights may be gained by using the Alphabetics approach to studying the word "Father" and "Mother."

"Father" = Alpha Bet

Father on Page 828 in Webster's III'61

Above, we saw that in Hebrew, "Father," comes as the very first word of all words of the Old Testament, listed alphabetically.

Now we will see that "Father" is connected to the very end, or Omega.   Again, this witness comes through the usage of language in its alphabetical occurence.  This time, the connection is so unusual as to stretch credulity to its limit, yet we ought not ignore this or write it off as insignificant.

This is one of many illustrations that even the very page numbers of the dictionaries and lexicons and the scriptures are often significant and correlate in an astonishing manner.

I like to use an old, large library-sized Webster's III⁶¹ English dictionary which I purchased for $11.00 at a used bookstore. It turns out that the entry "Father" and its derivatives is on page 828 in that dictionary.  Meanwhile, page 828 of the current LDS Topical Guide/Bible Dictionary/Joseph Smith Translation Appendix/Gazetteer, comes on the very last page, the omega page, just before the colored maps.

Word number 828 in the New Testament Greek lexicon (Thayer's) means "magesty."

Word number 829 in the Old Testament Hebrew lexicon comes from the word "fire"⁽¹⁾  and "ox."  Like "A is for Apple" in Enlish, "ox" is a primary meaning of the letter aleph in Hebrew.

Word 827 in Hebrew means "hiding."  (See comment on "hidden Messiah" below.)  e.g. the mystery of God.

Father and Mother in the Spelling of "Father"

Each of the letters of the Hebrew alphabet has meaning.  Much can be learned about a word by considering the letters which make up that word. (Sampson.)   Though there is some variation from one scholarly source to another reporting on this subject, usually the primary meanings are consistent from one to the next.

Aleph is considered as male and is a foremost representation of God.   With the first word, ab, this fits the image of God the Father.

Bet is consered female, representing the womb or house.  That the letter bet is part of the word for "Father" is very interesting.  First, generally speaking, there can be no father without a mother.  Both come together to produce offspring.  Second, regarding God the Father, this is evidence derived from the very language of scripture, that God the Father is not alone but that he is accompanied by a companion, Heavenly Mother; and that together as one they are what the scriptures call "Father."

In other words, in the very word for Father is evidence that there is also a Mother.   Considering the may references to God being "alpha and omega, the beginning and the end," because the word for "father" is the very first word in the Hebrew Biblical language (alphabetically) is further evidence that this association is meant to apply to deity as well.

Therefore, the first word alphabetically, ab, "Father," implies Father and Mother.

Me too Jason...is there an scriptural references to a female DS???!!!

Seriously though, most of the time I am wonderfully at peace with the (seeming)role of women, but sometimes something wants to make me scream that there seems to be no other role in this life and in the next, but as a baby machine.  I'm not really complaining   because there is also a very still, small voice that tells me in the back of my head that what we perceive as "the woman's role" is only a tiny part of what her real role is in the eternities.  I have always thought to myself that the power of the Priesthood  is what would create the beauty of the rose and such, but I'll bet it was a woman that designed it.

SUBJECT: Female Davidic Servant

Linda,

Regarding your question in humor about whether there will be a female Davidic Servant.

My understanding is that the real "hidden" Messiah in these end times who helps the family of man back into the garden is Heavenly Mother come in the flesh.  And as there may be one in particular who plays that role as an archetype (i.e. our literal heavenly mother come in the flesh), one of her missions is to stand as a representative for all women who likewise have God in them and are thus to a degree, gods in the flesh.

One of the cardinal principles in this end-time overturning restitution of all things will be the return of women back to their elevated status as equals with men, possessing gifts to synergize, each having strengths to supplement the other's weaknesses in a yin/yang relationship.

It has been the denigration of women, who are put down as the "weaker" sex, that has been at the root of so much of society's ills.  When the masculine attributes of dominance, control, power, might, brawn are seen as superior, then you have wars and rapings and the worshipping of the intellect and things technical (i.e. Babylon).

What we need is to have the feminine attributes of kindness, gentleness, intuition, humility elevated to their rightful place.

The curse of Eve, being the blunt of religious intolerance must be overcome.

If Michael is Adam, the Father of our Spirits and of our bodies (the human race), then that makes Eve the Mother of our Spirits and of our bodies.

If my premise (with tons of support materials as found at my web site, at least that part I have written up so far) is true about Father or Adam-Michael coming in these end times in the person of the Davidic Servant, then it would stand to reason that Eve, or Heavenly Mother, is here too.

Though the male Davidic Servant may be a spotlighted role in outward scripture prophecy, the word codes have a tremendous amount to say about the female counter part.

I am convinced that in retrospect, the role played by the "female Davidic Servant" as you could call her, will be the more honored one in the millennium.  She will be the one who will have been the most instrumental in bringing back the elements of mercy, gentleness, kindness, forgiveness, intuition, etc.

The very name of Father is spelled aleph, bet in Hebrew.  Aleph stands for God, and bet stands for the womb, woman, the home.

see {above}

So the "work of the father" is, ironically feminine.

Sincerely,

Sterling D. Allan
