Behold the Hand; Behold the Nail

You may already know that when the word LORD is capitalized in some translations of the Bible, it represents the Hebrew word that is spelled Yud Hay Vav Hay, the Name of God by which He revealed Himself to Moses. You may also know that Hebrew letters represent words, as well as sounds. (This is similar to the English letter i, which is also the pronoun I.)

So the letters in the Name of God, Yud Hay Vav Hay, represent words:

Yud = hand
Hay = window, look, behold
Vav = nail

(You may verify these meanings on a Hebrew letter chart, and at the website Hebrew for Christians.)

Substituting these words for the Hebrew letters, Yud Hay Vav Hay becomes a sentence:

Hand Look Nail Look

or

Behold the hand; behold the nail.

I am in awe that this intimate, personal name of God, by which He revealed Himself to Moses, holds within it the mystery of redemption and Messiah’s sacrifice, not just for Israel, but for the world!

The rest of the story is that when Yeshua was crucified,
the sign that Pilate put over Yeshua’s head read
Yud Hay Vav Hay.

How is it possible that a pagan governor
should identify Yeshua in his death
as the exact fulfillment of that Holy Name?

We are told in John 19:19, “And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS.” (KJV)

In transliterated Hebrew, I understand that this would be Yeshua HaNotzri v’Melech HaYehudim. The first letters of these four words formed an acrostic, YHVH, or Yud Hay Vav Hay.

I am in Awe of God. Who but He could orchestrate this? Please feel free to pass this on. It was such a rich discovery - far too amazing to keep to myself.
