Mem     m & M

The point of change (meeting point) where the salty water below changes to the clean water above, with Shamayim (air/Heaven[s]) within, is the junction point where water evaporates into the air. This point of change can be seen at the junction point inside clasped hands where the right hand changes over to the left hand, which is the image of the beginning form of Mem. The clasped hands are the size of the four chamber heart (4=Dalet, Yeshua the Door) where the unclean blood of the body, full of CO2 (death/sin), moves from the right side of the heart to become clean blood, full of O2, on the left side of the heart. To be on the right is to be on the side of favor, for the unclean will become clean through Yeshua (the Heart); but, to be unclean on the left side is to be truly dead, for there is no other direction then toward uncleanliness (heart is not pumping if the left side is unclean) (Ec 10:2). So, a person who says they are not a sinner, thinking they are clean, is placing themselves on the left side. The Lord says all (people) have sinned and all their works are like filthy rags (Rom 3:23; Isa 64:6). The person placing themselves to the left is calling G‑d a liar and has no salvation from their sin (1 Jhn 1:10). A person must understand and admit they are unclean from their sin and belong on the right in need of a Mashiach (Savior) who sits at the right hand of the Lord waiting for all who will come to him that he might stand at their right hand and make them clean and truly alive (Heb 10:12; Psm 109:31).

Mem (like the Latin/Roman M), the 13th letter, is representing the spiritual birth (point of change), baptism, a person has as they die in the death of Mashiach (Christ) on the Cross to their flesh of the dust of Arets (Earth, sin) with circumcised hearts (circumcision removes the flesh) and are spiritually reborn a new tabernacle (body) in the Body of Yeshua, resurrected from the dead (Rom 6:3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9; 2 Cor 5:17). Yeshua, the Head (See 20th letter), is then at this juncture joined to the Body of Believers (Col 1:18).

When Yoseph (Joseph) was joined together with his 11 brothers with him as the leader (head), 13 tribes were established. Ephraim and Manasseh, Yoseph's sons from his gentile bride, were adopted into the 12 sons of Yisra'el to make 13 tribes in all, of which Ephraim mixed with the gentiles (Gen 48:5; Hos 7:8). Yeshua, the Apostle and Head, called together the 12 apostles to establish 13 apostles including himself (Heb 3:1). After Yeshua's ascension into Shamayim (heaven[s]), 11 apostles remained. Once the Lord the Spirit baptized the Church, a 13th apostle to the gentiles was recognized as one of the 12. So, a 13th constellation is joined with the 12 constellations of the Sun and the Moon (celestial ecliptic); a 13th leap month is joined with the 12 months of the year; the 13th rib pair, the collar bone, is joined by the head of the sternum with the 12 rib pairs of the body (See Lamed); the thumb tip section, seen as the head (see Raysh), is joined with the 12 sections of the 4 etsba'ot (fingers) to make 13 sections. This shows how Mem represents the junction (point of change) of the grafting of the gentiles, wild olive branches, into the olive tree of whom the Lord is the root, Yeshua is the trunk, and Yisra'el is the branches (Romans 11:17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24) occurring through the spiritual birth from the Head, that is Yeshua.

And, just as Yeshua was born in the flesh, died from flesh (sin of the believer), and is resurrected from the dead; the believer was born of flesh, died from flesh (death to sin in Yeshua), and resurrected from death to everlasting life in Yeshua; the teeth are born in and of the flesh, die from flesh, and are reborn from flesh in bone (baby teeth in flesh born then die, then adult teeth born out of flesh while joined to jaw bone) (Yeshua, Ca, refer to 20th letter). Flesh (body) changing to foundational bone (Yeshua) occurs at the junction point of the gum with the teeth, the image of the final Mem. So, one day the Body of Yeshua (the Church), born in the flesh and then dying from the flesh into the grave, is resurrected at the coming of the Groom (Yeshua) to be lifted up with new perfected bodies in the likeness of their Lord's body (Yeshua's body) to be united with him as one, just as a man comes to be one with his bride (1 Thes 4:13, 14, 15, 16, 17; 1 Cor 15:51, 52, 53; Phil 3:20, 21; Gen 2:24). Praise be to the Lord our Father in Shamayim (Heaven[s]) who sends the Son for his Bride, who's heart will be forever full of joy. Praise the all powerful Lord. All the heavenly host and all who have the Breath of Life in them, let them bring praise to the Lord.
