Jewish sages ascribed a mystic significance to this as well: God is truth, Emeth in Hebrew. Aleph and Thaw are the first and last letters of Emeth, besides being the first and last letters of the alphabet. <br />God is the beginning and end, and also the beginning and end of Truth.<br />Unfortunately, this didn't translate well into Greek, or English, for that matter.Nitishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07554352128342702471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8070362.post-1111843719203499302005-03-26T18:58:00.000+05:302005-03-26T18:58:00.000+05:30:-) No, Jesus probably did no know his alpha from ...:-) No, Jesus probably did no know his alpha from his omega. <BR/>And in one train that passes through Bihar, they run an announcement saying 'Do not take your mobile phone with yout to the toilet'...
