When Gabriel finished telling Daniel about the things that were to come, he instructed him in Daniel 12:4, “But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.” The truth, of course, is that knowledge today is increasing faster than imaginable, but the knowledge I think Gabriel was referring to was the knowledge of the masterful Word of God. That, too, is increasing so fast it is difficult to keep up with it. For instance, only in these past few years have we learned that the very first phrase in the first verse in the Bible actually introduced our Savior, Jesus.

As everyone knows, the first verse in Genesis says, “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” The first phrase, “in the beginning,” is the Hebrew word, b’raisheet. Only recently has mankind been given the knowledge that if we start with the first yod that makes up that Hebrew word, we find in code, underneath the surface text, in an equidistant letter sequence or ELS, the Hebrew words “Yeshua yankol,” which means “Jesus is the power.” Wow! In the very first Hebrew word in the Bible God had already laid out the entire Bible, and only those of us who are alive today can have that knowledge. I may sound like a broken record, but there is nothing on earth as incredible as the Word of God.

But let’s dig deeper. In the first four chapters we learn of the first three instances in which blood was shed. The first time was when God went into Adam’s side and extracted a rib with which to create Adam’s bride. Have you ever considered that this was a picture of Jesus having His side pierced on the cross in order to bring forth His bride, the church of those who believe and are born again? When we search into the original Hebrew for Genesis 2:20, which says at the beginning of this account, “But for Adam no suitable helper was found,” we find that by starting with the letter mem in Adam’s name there is another ELS. This one spells out “Mashiach,” the Hebrew word for Messiah.

We are amazed even more when we look at the original Hebrew words in Genesis 2:22 which say, “And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from the man, made he a woman, and brought her unto man.” In the first place, the Hebrew word for “brought”, “y’vi’ehah,” is the same word which is used when a father gives his daughter away in marriage. Not only that, but only today do we know also that the first lamed letter in the next verse begins another ELS that spells “l’Yeshua,” which means “for Jesus.” Incredibly, we also find that underneath the word “tar’daimah,” the Hebrew word for the “deep sleep” in which God put Adam when he performed the operation, there is another ELS starting with the mem that once again spells ”Mashiach,” or Messiah.

The next shedding of blood occurs when God kills an animal, which I think was a lamb, and makes clothing to cover Adam and Eve after they realized that they were naked. This is related to us in Chapter 3:20-21. God wants us to now know for certain that this was a picture or shadow of the work Christ did on the cross. We now can be sure of that because starting with the last yod in verse 20 and counting nine letters (ELS) three times from left to right is written an astounding hidden word, “Adonai,” which means “Lord.” And starting with the last heh in that verse and counting nine letters (ELS) five times from right to left is the incredible word, “Yoshiah,” which means “He will save.”

The last instance we will look at today that entailed the shedding of blood was the killing of Abel by his brother Cain. After that event we read in chapter 4:9-10, “Then the Lord said to Cain,’Where is your brother Abel?’ ‘I don’t know,’he replied,’Am I my brother’s keeper?’ The Lord said,’What have you done? Listen! your brother’s blood cries out to me from the ground.” This again is a shadow of what was to happen to Jesus, for He, too, was killed by His brothers. And once again God wants us to understand this shadow, because when we count every seventh letter (ELS) from left to right starting with the mem in the word for blood, “d’mai,” we read “Mashiach em’met.” which is the Hebrew spelling for “Messiah the Truth.”

How privileged we are. Our parents did not know any of the information that you have read in the last five minutes. But this knowledge has not been given to us just so that we can be amazed and say “Wow!” Yes, it was given to us partially to increase our faith, but the main reason was so that we can use it to save others from eternal destruction. We now have this knowledge so that our friends and loved ones can be saved for a glorious eternal life with Jesus.

Please, print this page. Study it and be able to share this knowledge. Or make copies and give this life saving information to others. Or send everyone you know who has a computer to this blog site to read it for themselves. The greatest sin man can commit against his fellow man is to know the truth about Jesus and not tell others.
