Bet/Vet and the tabernacle tent.
Bet, the next letter in the Hebrew alpha=bet.
This letter is given the value of 2 and it sounds like mate. The pictogram for this letter is; house, tent or dwelling and it has an opening like a window at the left side of the dwelling. It also has a prefixive to it that means ‘in’ and some understand that it is God’s intention to dwell here on earth.
I find that interesting because God did have a tent that He tabernacled in when the Jews were in the wilderness and then later the temples were built - God’s house. Later still the Word tabernacled with us in the flesh of Jesus. This is mentioned in John 1:14.
The Old Testament tent and subsequent temples were a shadow of things to come that Christ fulfilled partially and there is still more to be fulfilled - we look forward to this again when He restores His place on His Holy mountain and comes again just as He left.
Joh 1:14 And the Word became flesh and tabernacled among us. And we beheld His glory, glory as of an only begotten from the Father, full of grace and of truth.
Bet is a picture of the Son of God
The word for “create” in Hebrew is 
(bara), and the word for son is 
(bar). If we separate the letters within the word for bara, we will have: 
(bar Aleph), which points to the Son of the Father (Aleph). Thus we have:
“In the beginning the Son of Aleph…”
Ok … I am very slowly wrapping my head around this.
I have to make sure that I write this letter down over and over to get it in my head before I proceed to the next letter. And may I just point out that Bet has the dot inside and Vet does not have the dot. This dot is called the dagish mark or the dageshim and basically from my understanding is that Bet without the dageshim is pronounced in the softer way of Vet (all sounding like mate = bait - vait). The Bet and Vet are not different letters like our english ones but rather a harder or softer sound of the same letter.
I hope I have this right.
Anyway, I will post more on this as I learn.
It is drawn in a precise manner which is illustrated here:
I must remember when I practice I have to start from the right hand of the page and work to the left. I keep forgetting that. Oh well, I will get there!
This is a sketch that I did — My daughter
I have this WACOM pen and I thought I would try and use it to sketch my oldest daughter. I am pretty happy with it. It was a lot of fun, and having this pen will really help my other daughter with her school projects.
If anyone knows of a site that has a basic tutorial for WACOM, please point me in the right direction. I want to really get to know what this pen is capable of and I would love my younger daughter to use it for her art-work.
Anyway, I hope you like my first picture!
