אביב Aviv

2010-10-29T12:22:00.000-07:00

אביב comes from the root אב (Father). Aviv is referring to the next generation of the crop which came from the parent. Aviv points to the Messiah who came forth from the Father (John 8:42; 16:28) and His body that comes forth from Him (John 17:18; 20:21).

This word occurs 8 times in the Scriptures, this number points to Messiah.

Yahshua in Greek = 888

888 is also equivalent to the Hebrew phrases 'yeshot elohaynu' (Salvation of our God) and 'hashamayim misparim kavod El' (The heavens declare the Glory of El)

The phrase 'the heavens declare the Glory of El' is found in Psalm 19:1 which describes the circuit (tequfah) of the sun.

Sun - 8 - Connection

The word for 8 in Hebrew is:

This comes from the root:

The root of 8 comes from ‘shem’ (name/character) which is the same root as sun ‘shemesh.’

Further connecting the sun & the number eight is the word oil. The Holy Spirit is likened to oil (1Samuel 16:13; Zechariah 4:2-3; Revelation 4:5). The sun moves upon the spirit/wind (Ecclesiastes 1:5-6).

רח is the root of the word ‘Ruach’, the Spirit.

The sun’s cycle makes an interesting form when it moves throughout the sky during the year. This phenomenon is known as the ‘analemma.’ If you photographed the sun once a week at the same time of day for an entire year, you would have a photo of the analemma, the sun’s apparent path on the sky over the course of a year, which looks like a figure-eight.

The Sun is moving in a continual ‘figure eight’ path.

Aviv is the first month of the year in the Biblical Calendar (Exodus 12:2). Aviv happens after the sun makes it's full revolution/circuit (tekupha) which is seen in the analemma figure above. Hence, the new year (aviv) starts when the figure eight is complete.

The sowing and harvest cycle of ancient Israel was based upon the movements of the heavenly bodies.

Wheel of the Stars - Andrew Gabriel Roth pg 61
"The use of constellations, along with the solar cycle, coordinating the rising and the setting of the sun with a given star or group of stars was exactly the way Adam, Noah, and Abraham also times their planting and harvest seasons."

Philo - On Creation 1:116
(116) And the sun, the ruler of the day, making two equinoxes every year, both in spring and autumn. The spring equinox in the constellation of Aries, and the autumnal one in Libra, gives the most evident demonstration possible of the divine dignity of the number seven. For each of the equinoxes takes place in the seventh month, at which time men are expressly commanded by law to celebrate the greatest and most popular and comprehensive festivals; since it is owing to both these seasons, that all the fruits of the earth are engendered and brought to perfection; the fruit of corn, and all other things which are sown, being owing to the vernal equinox; and that of the vine, and of all the other plants which bear hard berries, of which there are great numbers, to the autumnal one.

Aviv, the Covenant, and signs/seals
When YHWH cut the covenant with Abraham on Passover, He walked between the pieces of the sacrificed animals as a burning torch. In ancient times when a covenant was cut, the two covenant partners walked through the halves of the split animal(s) in a ‘figure eight’. They would lay each half to the side of each other and stand in between the two bloody halves of flesh, with their backs to each other. Then they would walk right through the bloody halves, making a figure eight, and come back to a stop facing each other.

This links back to the analemma and the sun as it was a fiery torch that passed through the pieces, or made the figure eight. This shows that the movement of the sun through the sky is a constant reminder of the covenant. This is seen in Jeremiah 31:31-37; 33:14-26)

Gen 15:17 And it happened, the sun had gone down, and it was dark. Behold! A smoking furnace and a torch of fire that passed between those pieces!

Circumcision, a sign of the covenant, is made on the 8th day (Genesis 17:11-14)
Rom 4:11 And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had yet being uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be not circumcised; that righteousness might be imputed unto them also:

Circumcision pictures baptism & resurrection (Ezekiel 11:19-20; 36:26-27; Romans 2:29; Colossians 2:11-13)

What is the faith that Abraham had?
Gen 15:5 And He brought him outside and said, Look now at the heavens and count the stars, if you are able to count them. And He said to him, So shall your seed be.
Gen 15:6 And he believed in YHWH. And He counted it to him for righteousness.

Notice that Abraham's faith was in the Word of Elohim, revealed through the stars being as His Seed.

In Hebrew, Astronomy is תכונה

תכונה is only used one time in the Scriptures:
Job 23:3 Oh that I knew where I might find Him, I would come into His seat;

This is speaking of the Throne of Elohim.

Keil and Delitszch commentary
If he but knew how to reach Him (God), could attain to His throne; תְּכוּנָה signifies the setting up, i.e., arrangement (Eze_43:11) or establishment (Nah_2:10) of a dwelling, and the thing itself which is set out and established, here of the place where God’s throne is established. (everywhere from כּוּן, not from תָּכַן)
The Scriptures speak of the heavens as His throne Matthew 5:34; Isaiah 66:1; Psalm 11:4.
תכונה comes from the word כון which means a foundation or something that is firm, something that is orderly.

Psa 103:19 YHWH has prepared (kun) His throne in Heaven, and His kingdom rules over all.
Psa 8:3 When I look upon Your heavens, the work of Your fingers: the moon and the stars which You have fixed (kun);
Psa 8:4 what is man that You are mindful of him, and the son of man, that You visit him?
תכונה comes from the parent root:

Notice this word is associated with a seed opening and rising out of the ground. This is a picture of the resurrection and Messiahclick here. The seed & the stars are linked through Yisrael (Genesis 15:5; 22:17; 26:4)

Messiah = Yisrael
Isa 49:3 And said unto me, Thou art my servant, O Israel, in whom I will be glorified.
Isa 49:5 And now, saith the LORD that formed me from the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob again to him, Though Israel be not gathered, yet shall I be glorious in the eyes of the LORD, and my God shall be my strength.
This prophecy is speaking of Messiah. Messiah is the Servant Israel.
Isa 49:6 And he said, It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes(H7626) of Jacob, and to restore the preserved(v’netsri-Netsarim=followers of Messiah) of Israel.I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation(H3444yeshua) unto the end of the earth.

Aviv is linked with the sign/seal/mark of YHWH

Exo 13:4 Today, in the month of Abib, you are going out.
Exo 13:5 And it shall be when YHWH brings you into the land of the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, which He swore to your fathers to give to you, a land flowing with milk and honey, you shall do this service in this month.
Exo 13:6 Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day keep a feast to YHWH.
Exo 13:7 Unleavened bread shall be eaten the seven days. And leavened bread for you shall not be seen; yea, no leaven shall be seen among you in all your boundaries.
Exo 13:8 And you shall tell your son in that day, saying, It is because of what YHWH did for me when I came out from Egypt. Exo 13:9 And it shall be for a sign to you on your hand, and a memorial between your eyes, so that a Law of Jehovah may be in your mouth. For with a strong hand YHWH brought you out from Egypt.
Exo 13:10 And you shall keep this ordinance at its appointed time, from days to days.
It is during this month of Aviv, and in particular the 7 days of Unleavened Bread, that the firstfruits offering was offered. This was of the barley, which too is a picture of Messiah. The English word barley traces back to the Hebrew word 'bar' which means Son (Psalm 2:12). The etymology of the word barley also is related to the body (ie the body of Messiah). Barley - (from Proto Germanic. *bariz, *baraz) + -lic "body, like."

Notice also that the pictographic meaning of בר is 'family of heads.' This is significant, in that one of the words in Hebrew for 'firstfruit' is 'resheit' which comes from 'rosh' which means a head. Bar (son) = a family of heads or firstfruits. This is what the Yisrael of Elohim is.

Jer 2:3 Israel was holy to YHWH , the first fruits ( ראשׁית H7225) of His increase. All that devour him become guilty; evil shall come on them, declares YHWH.

Firstfruits

Lev 23:10 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest unto the priest:
Lev 23:11 And he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave it.
Going back to Exodus 13, notice that the next verses link the firstborn to Passover & Aviv
Exo 13:11 And it shall be when YHWH brings you into the land of the Canaanite, as He swore to you and to your fathers, and gives it to you,
Exo 13:12 you shall set apart to YHWH every one opening the womb, and every firstling, the offspring of animals which are yours; the males are YHWH's.
Exo 13:13 And every firstling of an ass you shall redeem with a flock animal. And if you do not redeem, you shall break its neck. And every first-born of men among your sons you shall redeem.

Aviv linked with the offering of firstfruits (firstborn)
Lev 2:14 And if you bring near a food offering of firstfruits to YHWH, fresh ears (אביב aviv) roasted with fire, grains from a garden, you shall bring near your firstfruits for a food offering.

The firstborn was given on the 8th day
Exo 22:29 You shall not delay giving the fullness of your crops and the juices of your vintage. You shall give to Me the first-born of your sons.
Exo 22:30 So you shall do to your oxen, to your sheep: it shall be seven days with its mother; on the eighth day you shall give it to Me.

Yahshua is the Firstfruit/Firstborn
1Co 15:20 But now Christ has been raised from the dead; He became the firstfruit of those having fallen asleep.
1Co 15:21 For since death is through man, also through a Man is a resurrection of the dead;
1Co 15:22 for as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive.
1Co 15:23 But each in his own order: Christ, the firstfruit; afterward those of Christ at His coming.
1Co 15:24 Then is the end, when He delivers the kingdom to God, even the Father, when He makes to cease all rule and all authority and power.
Rom 8:28 But we know that to the ones loving God all things work together for good, to those being called according to purpose;
Rom 8:29 because whom He foreknew, He also predestinated to be conformed to the image of His Son, for Him to be the First-born among many brothers.
Rom 8:30 But whom He predestinated, these He also called; and whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified.
Rom 11:16 Now if the firstfruit is holy, so also the lump. And if the root is holy, so also the branches.

His body
Heb 12:22 But you have drawn near Mount Zion (Isa 2, Psa 87) even the city of the living God, to a heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads of angels,
Heb 12:23 and to a gathering, an assembly of the first-born ones having been enrolled in Heaven; and to God the Judge of all, and to spirits of just ones who have been perfected;
Jas 1:18 Having purposed, He brought us forth by the Word of truth, for us to be a certain firstfruit of His creatures.

Aviv & the color green

Strong's Concordance
H24
אביב
'âbı̂yb
aw-beeb'
From an unused root (meaning to be tender); green, that is a young ear of grain; hence the name of the month Abib or Nisan: - Abib, ear, green ears of corn.

Gen 1:11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth (dasha) grass (deshe), the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.
In Messiah in the Torah Genesis 1:9-13, it is seen that the earth bringing forth (dasha) is linked to birth/rebirth/resurrection. Dasha (bringing forth) is the same Hebrew word as grass (deshe).

This links grass with birth and resurrection
Deshe is also translated as green
Psa 23:2 He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me to waters of rest;

Here it is seen that the color green, and in particular green grass sprouting in the spring (Aviv) is linked with the resurrection & rebirth.

Green – Karpas

Another one of the words translated as green in the Scriptures is ‘karpas’ (Esther 1:6).

Those who have celebrated Passover with a traditional seder are familiar with this word. Pesach is kept during the month of Aviv. Karpas is the point of the meal where the Karpas (usually parsley) is dipped in saltwater, symbolically representing resurrection and passing through the Yam Suf. This was a picture of baptism and resurrection.
1Co 10:1 And I do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the Sea.
1Co 10:2 And all were baptized to Moses in the cloud, and in the Sea,
1Co 10:3 and all ate the same spiritual food.
1Co 10:4 And all drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank of the spiritual rock following, and that Rock was Christ.

The English word green comes from the Old English 'growan' which means to grow and also has the sense of fresh or new, as in a 'greenhorn.'

Aviv - Ear
The word aviv is translated as 'ear' in two verses of the Scripture (Exodus 9:31; Leviticus 2:14). This word in English comes from the Old English 'ear' which means a 'spike, ear of grain.' It traces back to Greek word 'akoste' which means barley.

There is another interesting connection between Aviv on earth and Aviv in heaven in the star Spica. Spica is a Latin word which means 'ear of grain' and corresponds to the Greek word stakhys. This is the origin of the English word 'spike' which is related to the English word 'ear' mentioned above.

Spica is the star in the hand of Bethulah (Virgo) and corresponds to the Hebrew word 'Tsemach' (the BRANCH Isaiah 4:2; Jeremiah 23:5,6; Zechariah 3:8; 6:12). Tsemach has the meaning of a sprouting plant.

The Messiah is likened to a plant rising from the ground
Isa 11:1 And a Shoot goes out from the stump of Jesse, and a Branch will bear fruit out of his roots.
Isa 11:10 And it shall be in that day, the Root of Jesse stands as a banner of peoples; nations shall seek to Him; and His resting place shall be glory.

Isa 53:1 Who has believed our report? And to whom is the arm of YHWH revealed?
Isa 53:2 For He comes up before Him as a tender plant, and as a root out of dry ground. He has no form nor magnificence that we should see Him; nor form that we should desire Him.

Zec 6:12 And speak to him, saying, So says YHWH of Hosts, saying, Behold! The Man {Yehoshua} whose name is THE BRANCH*! And He shall spring up out of His place, and He shall build the temple of YHWH.

*This is capitalized in most English versions of the Scriptures because it is a direct reference to the Messiah. The word used here is ‘Tsemach’ and is used 5 times in reference to the Messiah in Scripture.

Isa 4:2 In that day the Branch of YHWH will be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth for pride and for glory for the survivors of Israel.

Jer 23:5 Behold, the days come, says YHWH, that I will raise to David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and act wisely, and He shall do justice and righteousness in the earth.
Jer 23:6 In His days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely. And this is His name by which He shall be called, YHWH our Righteousness.
Jer 33:15 In those days, and at that time, I will cause a Branch of Righteousness to grow up to David. And He shall do judgment and righteousness in the land.
Jer 33:16 In those days Judah shall be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell in safety. And this is the name that shall be called on her: YHWH OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.
Zec 3:9 For, behold, I will bring forth My Servant, the BRANCH. For behold, the stone which I have given before Joshua, on the one stone are seven eyes. I will engrave its engraving, says YHWH of Hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day.

1st Fruit
First Fruit = Olive tree
Rom 11:16 Now if the firstfruit is holy, so also the lump. And if the root is holy, so also the branches.

Interestingly, it is during Spring around the time of early April that Spica rises above the horizon as the sun sets (The Friendly Stars pg 25).

Aviv - New
In the Septuagint Aviv is translated as 'neon' which means new. The English word 'new' traces back to this Greek word neos

Exo 13:4 ἐν γὰρ τῇ σήμερον ὑμεῖς ἐκπορεύεσθε ἐν μηνὶ τῶν νέων.

Job_34:35-36

Combined, אבה, is used 55x. Interestingly, Christ is written 555x in the New Testament.

King James Code
The word "Christ" is found exactly 555 times in the Bible! The first occurrence is Matthew 1:1, the first verse of the New Testament, and in Revelation 22:21, the last verse of the New Testament, literally, he is the first and the last. His title as the "only begotten son" is found exactly 5 times in the Bible.

אבה comes from the root (Father, fruit, pole) אב

אבה (abah) has the meaning of consenting and then doing an action. Many times it is used in reference to rebellious man (in particular Israel) not consenting to the Word (Psalm 81:11; Proverbs 1:25, 30; Isaiah 28:12; 30:9, 15; 42:24; Ezekiel 3:7; 20:8 etc.)

Isa 1:19 If you are willing (אבה) and hear, you shall eat the good of the land.

Only one has ever been willing (abah) and obedient (shama) in order to have right to eat of the Land (John 8:29). Yahshua the Messiah. Just as the children of Israel were led into the Land by Yehoshua ben Nun, so too we will only enter the Promised Land, spoken of in Hebrews 4, through Yehoshua ben Elohim.

אבה (abeh) is only used 1 time in Scripture. Hebrew words that are only used one time in the Word, in many instances, carry deep significance if further study is applied to them.

This word is used only once in Job 34:36 where Elihu finally speaks up after hearing the discourse between Job and his friends.
Job 34:35 Job has spoken without knowledge, and his words are not with insight.
Job 34:36 Would that (KJV My desire) Job may be tried to the end, because his answers are like men of iniquity.
Job 34:37 For he adds rebellion to his sin; he claps his hands among us, and multiplies his words against God.

When Job saw Him, and saw His righteousness, he repented in dust and ashes.

Job 42:1 And Job answered YHWH and said:
Job 42:2 I know that You can do all, and no purpose is withheld from You.
Job 42:3 Who is this hiding counsel without knowledge? So I declared, but did not understand things too wonderful for me; yea, I did not know.
Job 42:4 I pray, Listen, and I will speak; I will ask You, and You will make me know.
Job 42:5 I have heard of You by hearing of the ear, but now my eye has seen You;
Job 42:6 Therefore, I despise myself, and I have repented on dust and ashes.

Who did Job see? Yahshua the Messiah. Just as Abraham looked and saw the ram in Genesis 22 (John 8:56) and just as the children of Israel looked upon the serpent on the pole to be healed (Numbers 21:8), so too, when man looks upon Messiah, pictured by the ram and the serpent on the pole (John 3:14) we are healed. That is the desire (אבה) of the Father.

1Ti 2:3 For this is good and acceptable before God our Savior,
1Ti 2:4 who desires all men to be saved and to come to a full knowledge of truth.

The English word desire, comes from the Old French desirrer, which means to wish, desire, long for. It's original sense is linked to looking at the stars. Interestingly, this is also linked to אבה. As mentioned above, אב means father, and the letter ה means to behold or look at something. The pictograph of the letter ה is a man with outstretched arms, looking toward something. That thing, in ancient Hebrew culture, was the North star. This is what the nomads used for guidance and direction. When one looks at the North star what is seen?

The constellation Cepheus (the enthroned king) is located directly above the North star in the night sky.
CEPHUS. The king. In the Zodiac of Denderah Pe—ku—hor = this one cometh to rule. Cepheus is Greek from the Hebrew zemah = the Branch. Ethiopian name, Hyh = a king. The brightest star is Al Deramin = coming quickly. The next is Al Phirk = the Redeemer. The next, Al Rai’ = who bruises or breaks. (#Jer 31:1)

Desire is related to the English word 'consider.' Consider comes from the Old French considerer, which means to reflect on, study, consider. Again linked to the stars.

Connecting back to the book of Job. YHWH asked the adversary if he had 'considered' Job.
Job 1:8 And YHWH said to Satan, Have you set your heart (KJV consider) on My servant Job because there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and upright man, fearing God and turning away from evil?

This phrase in Hebrew is השמת לבך 'hasamta leebcha.' Consider is linked to the heart. Consider means to look upon, referring back to the throne seen above in the stars. The heart is also a picture of the throne of Elohim.

Our bodies are a picture of His Temple. His throne = the human heart from whence flows the river of life (blood)… The eternal organs in our bodies are a shadow picture of the Kingdom click here. Our bodies are His Temple (Ephesians 2:21-22; 5:30; 1 Corinthians 6:19). In the book of Revelation (Chapter 4) John is shown a vision of the Throne of Elohim. Around the throne and the 4 living creatures are 24 elders (Revelation 4:4) representing the 24 ribs surrounding the human heart.

The eyes and the heart are connected in Scripture.

Opening of the eyes is linked with a ‘burning heart’

Luk 24:31 And their eyes were opened, and they knew Him. And He became invisible from them.

Luk 24:32 And they said to one another, Was not our heart burning in us as He spoke to us in the highway, and as He opened up to us the Scriptures?

Mat 6:20 But treasure up for you treasures in Heaven, where neither moth nor rust cause to perish, and where thieves do not dig through and steal.

Mat 6:21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Mat 6:22 The lamp of the body is the eye. Then if your eye is sound, all your body is light.

Mat 6:23 But if your eye is evil, all your body is dark. If, then, the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!

Messiah spoke of the living waters coming out of the belly in John 7:37-39, in Greek the word for belly is ‘kardia’. This Greek word is also used to translate the Hebrew word for heart, which is lev.

אבה is related to אהב (love) in that each Hebrew letter is a pictograph that has an individual meaning. When the letters meanings are combined they form words. Love & desire are linked as both Hebrew words are derived from the same Hebrew letters. It is not hard to see that love and desire both come from within (ie the heart) but also are linked through the concept of 'looking upon Elohim' mentioned above.

From the root:

The Pictograph meaning of Love

The first and last letters spell out the word for Father (ab) and the middle letter is a picture of a man with outstretched arms. The Love of the Father is revealed through the Messiah on the tree, gathering all mankind back to their Creator, where we 'look' upon Him to be saved.

Gal 4:6 And because you are sons, God sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying, Abba! Father (Greek Pater)!

אב has the meaning of a pole
In English, the word 'pole' comes from the Old English pal which traces back to the Latin palus, which literally means a stake. The English word 'pale' derives from this word. 'Pale' means to fix or fasten and is related to the English word 'pact.' A pact is an agreement, treaty, compact which comes from the Latin word pactum which means a contract/covenant. A covenant through a pole/stake... Here we see אב, the first word of the Hebrew alphabet pointing to the most important event in human history. The crucifixion of Messiah Yahshua, and the New Covenant (Isaiah 42:6; Matthew 26:28) in His blood which restores mankind back to the Father.

The concrete meaning of the word אב is the pole/pillar of the house/tent. Who is the pillar? It is Messiah Yahshua

Gen 28:17 And he was afraid, and said, How fearful is this place! This is nothing except the house of God, and this is the door to Heaven.
Gen 28:18 And Jacob started up early in the morning and took the stone which he had placed at his head, and he placed it as a pillar; and he poured oil* on the top of it.
* The Hebrew word for Messiah comes from this concept of anointing
Gen 28:19 And he called the name of that place, The House of God. And yet the name of the city was at first Luz.

Gen 28:20 And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If God is with me and keeps me in this way which I am going, and gives to me bread to eat and clothing to wear,
Gen 28:21 and I return in peace to the house of my father, then YHWH shall be my God,
Gen 28:22 and this stone which I have placed as a memorial pillar shall become the house of God; and all which You shall give to me, I will tithe the tenth to You.
Messiah (His body) is the House of Elohim (Bethel)
Gen 35:14 And Jacob set up a pillar(H4678 matstsebeth) in the place where he talked with him, even a pillar of stone: and he poured a drink offering thereon, and he poured oil thereon.
Gen 35:15 And Jacob called the name of the place where God spake with him, Bethel{H1008 בּית־אלbeytḣ'el house of God}

H4676 מצּבה matstsêbâh mats-tsay-baw'

Messiah is the image of Elohim

2Co 4:4 in whom the god of this age has blinded the thoughts of the unbelieving, so that the brightness of the gospel of the glory of Christ who is the image of God, should not dawn on them.

The congregation of believers are to be the "image" of Messiah

Rom 8:29 because whom He foreknew, He also predestinated to be conformed to the image of His Son, for Him to be the First-born among many brothers.

2Co 3:18 But we all with our face having been unveiled, having beheld the glory of the Lord in a mirror, are being changed into the same image from glory to glory, as from the Lord Spirit.

BETHEL

Mat 16:18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of

hell shall not prevail against it.

1Ti 3:15 But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.

1Ti 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

Heb 3:1 Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;

Heb 3:2 Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house.

Heb 3:3 For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honour than the house.

Heb 3:4 For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God.

Heb 3:5 And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after;

Heb 3:6 But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.

1Pe 2:4 To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious,

1Pe 2:5 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.

Eph 2:11 Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;

Eph 2:12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:

Eph 2:13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.

Eph 2:14 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;

Eph 2:15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;

Eph 2:16 And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:

Eph 2:17 And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.

Eph 2:18 For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.

Eph 2:19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;

Eph 2:20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;

Eph 2:21 In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:

Eph 2:22 In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.

1Co 6:19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?

1Co 6:20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

The Olive Tree
אב also means fruit that is attached to the tree (pole).

Joh 15:1 I am the True Vine, and My Father is the Vinedresser.

Joh 15:2 Every branch in Me not bearing fruit, He takes it away; and each one bearing fruit, He prunes, so that it may bear more fruit.

Joh 15:3 You are already pruned because of the Word which I have spoken to you.

Joh 15:4 Remain in Me, and I in you. As the branch is not able to bear fruit of itself, unless it remain in the vine, so neither can you unless you remain in Me.

Joh 15:5 I am the Vine; you are the branches. The one abiding in Me, and I in him, this one bears much fruit, because apart from Me you are not able to execute, nothing.

Joh 15:6 Unless one remains in Me, he is cast out as the branch and is dried up; and they gather and throw them into a fire, and they are burned.

Joh 15:7 If you remain in Me, and My Words remain in you, whatever you desire you will ask, and it shall happen to you.

Joh 15:8 In this My Father is glorified, that you should bear much fruit; and you will be disciples to Me.

Joh 15:9 As the Father loved Me, I also loved you; continue in My love.

Joh 15:10 If you keep My commandments you will continue in My love, as I have kept My Father's commandments and continue in His love.

The Pillar is linked to the Root
Isa 6:13 But yet in it shall be a tenth, and it shall return, and shall be eaten: as a teil tree, and as an oak, whose substance{H4678matstsebeth a monumental stone; also the stock of a tree: - pillar, substance.} is in them, when they cast their leaves: so the holy seed(Gal 3:16) shall be the substance(H4678 ROOT) thereof.

Rom 11:16 Now if the firstfruit is holy, so also the lump. And if the root is holy, so also the branches.

See Olive Tree study

The English word fruit has the meaning of to use, enjoy, to produce or profit. Etymologically, it traces back to the Old English word 'brook.' OE Brook has the meaning of to use, enjoy, possess, eat, cohabit with (to produce more fruit). It is interesting that Messiah links bearing fruit with joy in John 15 mentioned above.

Joh 15:10 If you keep My commandments you will continue in My love, as I have kept My Father's commandments and continue in His love.
Joh 15:11 I have spoken these things to you that My joy may abide in you, and your joy may be full.

אב means Father

The Son is called the Everlasting Father

Isa 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

Rev 21:6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.

Rev 21:7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.

Isa 8:18 Behold, I and the children whom the LORD hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion.

Etymology of the English word Father

As seen above in the Ancient Hebrew definition of אב, pa is derives from 'ab.'

'Pere' has an interesting link back to אב. In Hebrew one of the words for fruit is פר (par) which may be the origin of the French word 'pere.' 'Par' also means a bull or ox which in ancient times represented Elohim.

The English word 'father' comes from the Greek word 'pater.' This word comes from the Hebrew word פטר which has the meaning of something breaking forth, pictured by the birth of a child. The source of this word is פר which means fruit. The connection to the word 'av' through the concepts of fruit and the source of a thing.

If dad was rendered into Hebrew letters it would be דד (dalet dalet). This word means the bosom.
Joh 1:18 No one has seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, that One declares Him.

אב & The Word
א aleph ב bet are the first two letters of the 'aleph-bet' from whence comes the English alpha-bet.

All of creation comes forth from the Word accoring to Psalm 33:6. Words are made up of letters (the Aleph-Bet) which points to Messiah who is the Alpha & Omega which is a term meaning totality, as in the complete Alpha-Beta of the Greek.

Interestingly, the word 'Bible' in English comes from the Hebrew word אבוב which means a pipe and is also the source of the word papyrus which ancient Bibles were written upon. The word for booby and baba comes from אבוב as well. Again this traces back to אב who is the source of the milk of the Word (1Peter 2:2). Peter was quoting from Psalm 34:8 which speaks of 'tasting' and seeing that YHWH is good and blessed are those who 'trust' in Him. The word 'trust' comes from 'chasah' which means a firm support, again tracing back to the meaning of אב father.

אב The Source of All Things
The word אב 'av' means the 'source' pictured by a tent pole which holds up the tent/house. It is no surprise that the Latin word for source/out from is 'ab' and the Greek word for out from/source 'apo.'

In German 'ab' means 'from then on' linking back to the beginning source. In Slavic the 'ab' root meaning is 'origin, father, progenitor, source.' Names such as Kruschev and Gorbachov mean that the family is OF a certain location. The English word 'of' traces directly back to אב. In Irish, the O suffix in front of a name such as O'Hara traces back to 'ab' as well (E-Word - Isaac Mozeson pg 15).
