Raysh r & R
Yeshua ha'Mashiach (Jesus the Christ), the Lord who loves his creation, mankind, so much he came down from the affluent/holy/perfect Shamayim (Heaven[s]) to become poor within a poor/unholy/imperfect Aretz (Earth) in order to have a relationship with any unholy person who would accept Yeshua's offer of salvation (Jhn 6:32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58); for Yeshua conquered death and raised from the dead after three days to ascend to the right hand of G-d in Shamayim (Isa 25:8, 9; 1 Cor 15:3, 4; 2 Tim 1:10; Jhn 11:25, 26). For even though mankind's every thought and action is only evil all the time and his penalty is an eternal punishment of fire and darkness where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth, Yeshua has already taken that punishment upon himself on the Skull (Golgotha) for any person willing to become part of the G-d's heavenly kingdom and say “I do” to the family of the Lord, giving that person eternal peace and joy in the face/presence of the Lord (Gen 6:5; Rom 3:23; Mt 8:11, 12; 13:41, 42; Jhn 3:16, 17; 19:17; 1 Pet 2:24; Rev 19:7, 8, 9; Mt 22:14). A person believing and accepting Yeshua's offer to make him Lord (God) of their life joins the Body of Believers (the Church) whom Yeshua is the Head/Leader (Col 1:18; Jhn 10:9).
The beginning form of He(y) (5th letter) shows the head of the hands as the behon'ot (thumbs), with the right bohen (thumb) being the beginning form of the 20th letter, Raysh. It was stated the bohen (thumb) was a foot (see Gimel) and now it is a head; just as, Yeshua the Head came down to empty himself onto death to be raised as the Head of the Body (Phil 2:6, 7, 8, 9, 10). This is why the length of the foot is the same as the distance from the top of the shoulders to the top of the head. The final form of Raysh is seen in the image of the right ear, which is in the image of a head.
The head/skull of the body has images of the upper back and neck with pierced hands upon raised arms. The two united openings (eyes/nose/ears) of the head are the openings of He(y) (final form of the letter), with each opening being the space between the head/neck and the arm. Yeshua, the Head of the Body crucified on Golgotha (skull mountain), is seen in the head/skull of the body.
“...He will strike/overcome your head and you (the enemy) will strike/overcome his heel,” - (Gen 3:15). The enemy being head/ruler of the world was overcome at the same time Yeshua, the Head and Ruler over the enemy, was overcome on the Cross upon the Skull (Heb 2:14; 2 Cor 4:3, 4). Blessed be the Lord, our G-d the Lamb who was slain for the sins of the world, King of the Universe to whom all victory and honor and glory belongs, and all dominion and authority is given to Yeshua ha'Mashiach who will reign forever, amen.
