Berisheet

Romans 5:18 “Therefore, just as one trespass brought condemnation for all men, so also one act of righteousness brought justification and life for all men.”

The heritage of mankind is one fraught with trouble. We can look into our past and see all form of mischief and rebellion. From Adams defiance to Cain’s jealousy, from Jonah’s disobedience to David’s lust, where can we look and not see trouble in our past?

How is it that God has not completely abandoned us?

What we will see in the sinful heritage of mankind is that all along, God had a plan.

Romans 5:18 “For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous.”

Since the advent of Creation, God has demonstrated a plan. We may read in the Bible what sounds like the documentation of God’s founding inspirational process but what it contains has much greater depth when read in its original language.

For example: Genesis 1:1 “In the beginning(Berisheet) God created the heavens and the earth.”

This scripture on it’s own right shows God’s existence before Creations beginning, it also shows that the Universe as well as earth was formed at that time, not what the astrophysicists have concluded with exorbitant time periods and natural processes.

Genesis 1:2 “The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.”

We witness the evidence of the fullness of God having a hand in the forming of all that we know and see. The Lord brought all the elements of earth together in darkness and upon its formation, we see His presence upon our world.

This Holy moment during the formation of Creation revealed a much broader purpose which God had in mind. As we unlock the mystery of God’s Word, we begin to see the masterpiece of God’s creation unfold.

The Hebrew language has a depth to it not found in English. Each letter has a threefold meaning to its expression and is the only language that maintains this form.

The 22 letters in the Hebrew alphabet are pictographs that are meant to convey ideas or words. Each letter also has a numeric representation that conveys an idea or message in the Bible, finally there is the phonetic language that illustrates the oldest language in the world.

The fact that the ancient Hebrew language is intact and used by Jews today relays a confidence that the Bible can be taken literally and read with confidence to its authenticity and reliability.

The very first word in the Bible is the term Berisheet (בְּרֵאשִׁית). Written in Hebrew the word is written from right—->left.

Translated literally it means “In the beginning —-end from the beginning”

The letters in the word are:

Beyt(Beit)—#2—-the pictograph represents a floor plan of a house or tent. Literally translated it means ‘in’ or ‘inside’.

Reysh—#200–numerically means the all sufficiency of God and insufficiency of man—It is translated Son—-(the One in the tent)

Aleph—#1—originally pictured as an Ox—-it is meant to convey God—-a strong leader who protects His family

[These first three letters combined is the Hebrew word for Creation]

He is the Beyt-Reysh-Aleph—Son of God and Creator.

Sheen—#300–is pictured as teeth—-means to press down, crush or destroy—it is a special letter that God uses as a means to signify ownership of something—-300 is an amplification of the sacred number 3—it means divine perfection—-it means a divinely appointed blood sacrifice that results in victory over death.

[another word buried in the term Berisheet—is the 3 letter word Reysh—which means Prince.]

The reason it is buried is because the Lord wants us to know the Reysh—Aleph—-Sheen—{prince} has come out of his tent or home. The Prince who was in His home has now come out of His home.

Why is the Prince coming out of His tent?

He is coming out because of Sheen—-to crush and destroy or to be crushed and destroyed?

Isaiah 53:5 “But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.”

Yood—meaning something amazing is going to unfold that will mark the end of one age and the beginning of another—A new beginning!—it gives spiritual significance and is the picture of a hand doing a divine deed—the #10 means ordinal perfection, it also is reflective of appointed time.

Now we know why the Prince is coming out of His tent!

*He is coming to the earth to accomplish something His Heavenly Father planned and purposed in Heaven and that will happen on the earth at the appointed time.

Tav—#22–the last letter of the alphabet is pictured as a wooden cross—it is the center point of all history from God’s perspective—it represents a divine deed ordained in Heaven that will fulfill a covenant and will be revealed as a sign in the form of a cross—everything that happened before this sign was sovereignly ordained in order to set the stage for this one single event.

What was the single event?

Jesus—-the Prince—-came out of His home to die upon the wooden cross for the sins of mankind. The end of the age concerning sin and death was accomplished in that single moment, the new age of grace is now upon us.

At the exact time appointed by the Father, at the perfect moment in history, Jesus fulfilled the requirement of the law…death.

John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”

But the Berisheet prophecy is still not complete….

John 14:1-3 “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so,I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. And where I go you know, and the way you know.”

You see, the prince who came forth from His home is planning on taking us back with Him to live forever.

The Berisheet prophecy has much more locked within its confines of God’s greater purpose and plan and so I’ll leave it to you to judge for yourself. CJ Lovik has a grasp of the Hebrew language unlike anything I’ve ever seen or heard so I give him all the credit.

The heritage of God’s people is vindication. The promises of God are true and He will see every one of them to the end.

Isaiah 54:17 “No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, And their righteousness is from Me,” Says the LORD.”

Until the Lord removes His anointed from the earth, He has not left us as orphans. He has endowed us with power and authority. Whether on earth or in judgement, Jesus is our advocate.

There is another heritage that is not so appealing….

To the wicked and unbelieving….

Job 20:26-29 “Total darkness is reserved for his treasures.
An unfanned fire will consume him;
It shall go ill with him who is left in his tent.
The heavens will reveal his iniquity,
And the earth will rise up against him.
The increase of his house will depart,
And his goods will flow away in the day of His wrath.
This is the portion from God for a wicked man,
The heritage appointed to him by God.”

The Aleph and Sheen together form another word hidden in Berisheet….it is represented by God and destruction. The word literally means “Fire”. God is going to bring strong destruction upon the earth in the last days.

As prophesied at the very start of Genesis 1:1, we see the projected fire that God has prepared for the earth and its inhabitants. The heritage of darkness is death, the hope of the unbelieving is hopelessness, and the destruction of all that is corrupt will be completed.

The 7000 year cycle that God has set on a cosmic stopwatch is coming to another major moment in history. We are at the end of the 6000 year cycle, which also signifies the end of the church age that has existed from Christ’s appearance until now. C.J. breaks down the time periods that we have witnessed and they all point to this moment in which we live.

At the end of the 7000 year cycle, the Lord will make a new Heaven and New Earth, and we will dwell with Him for eternity.

What is the heritage you want to leave? Let Jesus begin a new heritage in you today. If you have not yet trusted Him with your life, I encourage you…do so today. This world is winding down, God’s time table is coming to completion and then it will be too late.

If you believe and trust…your heritage will be secured in Him.
