The Letter Tav and Second Coming Events

Shalom friends. My name is Chadwick Harvey. You have reached Faithful Performance. Thank you so much for joining us tonight as we conclude our journey on Elohim's Aleph-Bet by discovering the letter Tav. It is the 22nd and last letter of the Hebrew Aleph-Bet. If you've been with us, we appreciate you joining us on this journey from the Aleph to the Tav. It's been a long journey, so to speak, from spring to right now, right before we hit the Feast of Trumpets. And there's no better letter to finish on than the letter Tav as we get into the second coming events. This is the Feast of Trumpets, Yom Kippur, and the Feast of Tabernacles. We'll be discovering what this letter truly means as it correlates to that.

So again, my friends, we'll start with the Hebrew Aleph-Bet. If you're not familiar with the letter, it is on the bottom row, the third row, all the way to the left. Hebrew is read right to left, so we end on the Tav. If you remember last week, we discovered the letter Shin, which spoke of the second coming events, so to speak. When you relate the Shin to the fire, the sickle of the fire, the sword, and all of these things that we discovered with the Shin in Isaiah 65, Isaiah 63, and Revelation 19, that goes into the second coming events with the Feast of Trumpets, Yom Kippur, and the Feast of Tabernacles. So, we can even get an understanding from the second coming events through the Hebrew letters, through reading them through the lens. What I mean by that is the letter Tav, like I said, is the fire. Yeshua, the fire coming for a second coming events, and the scriptures that we read tonight with the Tav will show you the second coming events, the millennial kingdom, and even the New Jerusalem as we read this beautiful letter through the Hebrew lens of the scriptures. So that's why it's important, my friends, to get all of the anointings we possibly can because everything points to the same thing, which is the return of the Messiah for his second coming events and also his millennial kingdom.

With that being said, we'll start with a scripture, like we always do, with the last letter of the Hebrew Aleph-Bet. It's called the Tav. Some people call it the Tau, as you will see here. So again, depending on who you ask. But with that being said, we'll read Revelation 22. And this is what the scripture says in the very end of the scriptures of the Holy Bible: "Behold, I am coming quickly, and my reward is with me, to give to everyone according to his work. I am the Aleph and the Tav, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. Blessed are those who do keep his commandments, that they may have the right to enter the tree of life, and may enter through the gates of the city. But outside are dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters and everyone who loves and practices a lie. I, Yeshua, have sent my angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David." And the Spirit and the bride say, "Come." And let him who hears say, "Come." And let him who thirsts say, "Come." Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely.

This is a really powerful scripture, my friends, especially when we relate it to the Hebrew Aleph-Bet. It's really powerful because it's the finish line. It is the Tav, okay, of the entire scriptures, or the end of the entire Holy Scriptures. Thus, the reason I find it very amazing that we can find the Tav, the last letter of the Hebrew Aleph-Bet, at the last part of the Holy Bible, and what Yeshua really tells us, commands us, and also warns us at the last chapter of the entire Holy Bible. We've gone through this many times before during the videos, but if we look at the scripture, it's really telling on a lot of different angles.

First, it says, "Behold, I'm coming quickly and my reward is with me to give to everyone according to his works." So, my friends, we do have to have works with our faith. Okay? Yeshua's brother goes through that very thoroughly in the book of James, or the book of Yakov, but it's called James in the New Testament. He goes through it very clearly that our faith without works is dead, as we all know. So, Yeshua is just following up on that. We've got to have works because He's given us rewards for the works that we do through the Holy Spirit because of our faith and things like that. So, we have to have faith and works. And the book of James goes through that very, very clearly of what it is. And this scripture in Revelation 22, I believe in Revelation 2 as well, Yeshua says the same thing: "I'm coming to give the rewards for your works, for our works." You know, so we have to really understand that works and faith go together to do the Lord's will for the kingdom here on earth.

"I am the Aleph and I am the Tav." So He's telling you He's the beginning, He's the end. In the Greek, it's the Alpha and the Omega, but in the Hebrew, it's the Aleph and the Tav. In the beginning and the end, He's the first and the last. And then look at what He says: "Blessed are those who do keep His commandments, that they may enter the right to the tree of life and may enter through the gates of the city." This is super important. I mean, look at the trajectory that He is saying here. "Behold, I'm coming quickly and my reward is with me and give to everyone according to his work." Okay? And then look at what He says. He declares Himself the Aleph and the Tav, the beginning and the end. Genesis to Revelation, if you will. In the beginning, He was there as well. And He's telling all of us that He is in the beginning to the very end, and everything does apply to us from that understanding.

Then He says, "Blessed are those who do keep His commandments." Again, He's the Alpha, He's the Omega, He's the Aleph, He's the Tav. So He's taking you back to the beginning. Blessed are those who do His commandments that they may have the right to enter, partake of the tree of the city. Again, we go through this many times, but if we don't understand the blessings and the curses in the Torah, the first five books of the Bible, we're really not going to understand truly the details of this passage. When we look at it, it says this: "Blessed are those who do keep His right to the tree of life and may enter through the gates of the city." Well, if we understand what the Torah says, there's blessings and curses. So if one does not keep the commandments, do they have the right to the tree of life and to enter through the gates of the city? That would be very debatable according to this scripture right here, Revelation 22. If one just believes and has faith without any works, without any commandments, then they would be in very big danger of entering into the city and partaking of the tree of life and entering into the New Jerusalem, according to Yeshua Himself and His angel right here. "Blessed are they; may they have the right to the tree of the city."

And then here comes the curse: "Outside are dogs and sorcerers, sexually immoral, murderers, idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices a lie." Okay, very important when you look at how He wrote this. And then you go to 1 Samuel 15:22-26. Samuel says, "Obedience is better than sacrifice." To heed the Lord is better than fatted rams on the altar. And then he says, "Rebellion," not keeping the commandments, "is just as the sin of witchcraft," and "stiff-neckedness or stubbornness is like idolatry." So, all throughout the Holy Bible, the great prophet Samuel, Jeremiah, Isaiah, John the Revelator, John the Baptist, Yeshua, they're all telling us to keep the commandments so that we can enter eternal life and partake of the tree of life and enter into the New Jerusalem.

What did Yeshua say in Matthew 19 to the rich ruler, the real estate guy? He said, "How do I obtain, inherit eternal life?" That was the question he posed to Yeshua. And Yeshua said, "Keep the commandments," is what He told him, "to enter eternal life." Okay? And then the rich ruler said, "Which ones?" Okay? And then Yeshua said, "Don't kill, don't murder, don't commit adultery. Basically, go follow my Father's commandments. Go follow the Torah, the Ten Commandments." So again, there's something that we have to understand as believers, as Christians, and also as Jewish people as well, that we have to follow Yeshua and we have to follow the Lord's commandments to be in the total alignment that we are looking for.

And then He says, "I, Yeshua, have sent my offspring of David. And the Spirit and the bride say, 'Come.' Let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely," which goes back to John 7 and also Isaiah 12:1-2 with what He did with the water on the Feast of Tabernacles, that we will get into during the fall feast season.
