Word of the Week

Word: Blood

Hebrew: דָּם (dam)

Definition: Since Passover is coming up, let’s discuss the Hebraic view of this event. First off, Passover, or פֶּסַח Pesach, is for all believers as well as the Jewish culture. It has been said that when a lamb is bitten by a poison snake, the lamb will not die because the blood of the lamb is an antidote to the poison. G-d instructed the people of Israel to place the lambs’ blood on the doorposts of their homes so that the Death Angel would PASSOVER it. Since this is about Hebraic contents, the blood that would be applied would take the shape of the letter ח Chet. This letter represents, or symbolizes, a fence. So you were fenced in by the blood… or you were being protected by the effect and presence of the blood. The gematria for the letter ח Chet is the number 8. We know that number represents NEW BEGINNING. Ironically, the word for blood is דָּם dam. Breaking this word down, we see that the first letter is the ד Dalet which represents a Door. The next letter is the final Mem ם, which represents the Water of the Word. So, the Door is open to His Word, giving the two witnesses to set a thing established. Going deeper, not only is the ח Chet number 8, but if we look at the ד Dalet, it has a numeric value of 4, and the final Mem ם has a numeric value of 40. Together we get 44… 4+4=8. Again, the two witnesses of a NEW BEGINNING. When we are under the BLOOD, we are a NEW BEGINNING. 2 Corinthians 5:17 — It states: “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.” Here is a thought. The blood had to be applied from the outside of the house. In order to be protected, you had to go to the inside of the house. When we think we know scripture, we cannot just stay on the outside of ourselves, but look on the inside and share what we have with others, so that they can be protected under the same BLOOD as we are. Amen? One more thought… the sacrificial lamb had to be watched for 4 days before the slaughter. There is the number 4 once again… the ד Dalet who is Yeshua, the Christ. Because of the BLOOD of Christ, Satan’s strike against our Yeshua has zero effect. This is the same BLOOD we are covered with. It’s a little long but… enough said.
