"And Pilate wrote an inscription also, and put it on the cross. And it was written, JESUS THE NAZARENE, THE KING OF THE JEWS." "
John 19:19
Notes:
Here's an interesting fact about the historical significance of this passage. This little act by Pontius Pilate would have angered the religious Jews of the time for this reason, among others:
Christ's Sacrifice, hidden in the very word "Torah" (excerpted from the Triunity Report)
The Hebrew word
is translated "law" or "Torah" in the English language. Much is lost in
the translation, as they say. To understand what is lost, we must first
realize that each character of the Hebrew language has a meaning. The
word "Torah" is split up by character (Hebrew is read right to left) as
follows:
= (Tav) Literal Meaning: a sign, a cross Symbolic Meaning: a covenant, to seal
= (Vav) Literal Meaning: nail Symbolic Meaning: "and", to add, to secure
= (Reysh) Literal Meaning: head Symbolic Meaning: person, the head, the highest
= (Hey) Literal Meaning: window, fence Symbolic Meaning: "the", to reveal
If the meanings of each letter in the word "Torah" are combined to make a sentence, an amazing truth is revealed:
Tav + Vav + Reysh + Hey = a cross, nail, the head, window
"Head" means "the highest" as in "the head of the household."
"Window" means "to see clearly" or "to reveal" as in "a window to your
soul." So, the combined meaning of the letters of the Hebrew word
"Torah" are:
[To] a cross, [is] nail[ed], the highest, is revealed [in the Torah].
The Torah reveals the King of Kings, nailed to a cross.
Or, translated with the literal "head" for Reysh, you get THIS message:
Nailed to a cross, at his head, it is revealed
Is there any doubt that Christ was Who He said that He was?
