Genesis 1:1 The Missing Word

There is an amazing revelation found in the first verse of Genesis that most have never seen. Unless you can read and write in Hebrew you probably have not seen this before. The fourth word of the Bible is omitted and not translated into English. We can only assume that translators didn't know how to translate the word so they omitted it. You see the problem is that this word is not a word and didn't spell anything that they were familiar with. However it says something that is very profound when you understand what it is.

This word is made up of just two letters in the Hebrew alphabet. The first letter is called the "alef" and second letter is called the "tav". This still doesn't have any significance until you know that these are the first and last letters of the alphabet and that changes everything doesn't it? The verse should read something like "In the beginning the A-Z God created...." in English. Who is the A-Z God? Well of course it is Jesus Christ.

You see the pattern is repeated and explained to us in the book of Revelation. In the first chapter of Revelation and the 11th verse Jesus makes the following statement: "I AM, Alpha and Omega, the first and the last". We can quickly see if we are familiar with the Greek alphabet that Jesus has just identified himself as the creator God. "Alpha" and "Omega" are the first and last letters in the Greek alphabet.

"In the beginning the A-Z God created the heaven and the earth."
