- ‘Elohiym or ‘ĕlōhîm is the Godhead; the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. It is a plural noun whose root meaning is unity.
- See Topic: The Creator
3. Created (bara’)
- bara’ is a singular verb.
- In combination with the preceding plural God the combination is incorrect grammar. It is similar to saying “They is..” when it should either be “He is” (both singular), or “They are” (both plural).
- Therefore; God went out of His way to reveal Himself as a Plural Godhead who is one in spiritual DNA, having the identical character, purpose, and goals.
4. [Untranslated] (Eth) which is two Hebrew letters: the Aleph and the Tav. (in Greek the Alpha and the Omega.)
- The Eth is untranslated. It is spelled with two Hebrew letters: the Aleph and the Tav which is equivalent to the Alpha and Omega in Hebrew.

- Hebrews 1:3a He is the reflection of God’s glory and the exact likeness of his being, AND he holds everything together by His powerful word.
(The powerful word is the word “AND” spelled with the Alef and Tav in Hebrew; the Alpha and Omega in Greek. Therefore: Jesus, the Alpha and Omega holds everything together on the earth and in the heavens as the ‘connector’ between man and God.)
- Hebrews 1:3a He is the reflection of God’s glory and the exact likeness of his being, AND he holds everything together by His powerful word.
