Elul's Acronym and the Significance of Yod

The month of Elul means harvest, and it begins the great harvest that continues through the month. Excuse me. Hang on one second. I'm out of... never mind. Okay, let me go back and go deeper with this really quick if people don't understand. So, in Leviticus 16, it says they have two goats. One to sacrifice for the sin offering, and then one to throw over the cliff. They did release it to go into the forest in the wilderness. But what happened is the goat came back. And then they started, they just threw it over the cliff so the goat wouldn't come back. So, whenever they wanted to throw Yeshua off the cliff, they wanted to do it as the scapegoat. So, that's how you know also that it is a Yom Kippur event as well.

The month of Elul also has an interesting acronym associated with it. I love this. This is one of my favorite parts. In the Song of Solomon, the Song of Songs, we find the phenomenal revelation. It is written, "I am my beloved's, and my beloved is mine." In Hebrew, it is "Ani le'dodi ve'dodi li." Interestingly, this revelation consists of four Yods, with each Yod having a numerical value of 10. And when you multiply four times 10, it equals 40, which points to the time of testing or the 40 days of repentance from Elul one to Tishrei 10. This song is a love song between the groom, Yeshua, and His bride, all of us, which symbolizes Elohim's fervent love and great passion for His people, His bride. "Ani le'dodi ve'dodi li," or "I am my beloved's and my beloved is mine," is for you and me with our Creator, our Royal Majesty, Yeshua. So, this is one again, my friends, this is one of my favorite parts, and there's something wrong with those things here, but that's okay. So, there we go. So, again, this is one of my favorite parts of this, and this is why it's just important to look through these things because the acronym of Elul, which is the name that they put on the month, a four-letter word, is basically four Yods. Well, those four Yods have a, each Yod has a value of 10, so when you have four of them, that's 40. So, even in what they named the month right now, Elul, it goes into the 40 days of repentance from Elul one to Tishrei 10, which is pretty phenomenal to go through. So, all of these interesting calculations and things like that is just really beautiful, but we just have to dive into it and receive it of what has been given.

So, again, "Ani le'dodi ve'dodi li," "I am my beloved's and my beloved is mine." Each Yod is the 10th letter of Elohim's alphabet and has a numerical value of 10, which represents the perfection of divine order. A few examples of this powerful perfect number are the Ten Commandments, the 10 plagues in Egypt, the 10 kings of the antichrist kingdom, the 10 Days of Awe. These examples, which in all these examples, they directly confirm the perfection of divine order, the anointing of the number 10. So again, if one's not familiar with the Hebrew alphabet, Yod is a value of 10. And it's also the 10th letter. And so you put that with what we just discovered with Elul, which has four Yods in it. If you can look at the Hebrew up there, it has four Yods. I'm sure you probably can't see my arrow, but if you're familiar with the Yod, it's like the apostrophe. So, let me supersize this. So, when you look at the Hebrew from right to left, you find four Yods. It's like an apostrophe up there. So, you see one, two, three, and four with a Yod. Very phenomenal.

Okay, so now let's look at the pictograph. Every letter does have a pictograph. And Yod's pictograph is an arm or hand reaching towards heaven in praises and prayer. In the classical Hebrew, it is an apostrophe or a single tag upward. The upper part points to God. The lower part to the earth, and the middle section holds the parts together in unity. Three parts are one. Pretty interesting. Yod symbolizes being humble and in submission to the Lord. It is the smallest of all the letters and a picture of humility. A great example of humility is Moses, who is the most humbled man on earth during his days. Yod is the letter that all the other letters begin with, which demonstrates the power of the divine point of energy it contains. Yod is considered the starting point of the presence of God in all things, the spark of the spirit in everything. Amen. This amazing letter is the first letter of the divine name of the Almighty, which shows that He is Spirit. He is one, and from Him derives all things by the power of His Word through the Holy Spirit. Lastly, Yod is the first letter of Yakov (Jacob), of Israel, of Yehudim (Jews), of Jerusalem, highlighting its importance even more so. What a powerful letter to close out our spiritual purification journey. Yod is a very impactful letter that we can pray and meditate upon with our arms lifted up in the air in worship, as Elohim's glory, His glory shines radiant wisdom and knowledge upon us, revealing His light for us.
