Here we go friends. The third letter I saw in the bottom of the ocean in my dream. It is really a special letter. So much to learn from it. This is just a bit ל Lamed is the 12th letter of the Hebrew alphabet. The heart of the alphabet. The number 12 means government perfection. 12 tribes of Israel. Numeric value 30 . It is unique because it is the tallest letter. Considered the central letter. Jesus started his ministry at 30 years old. 30 is the age of priesthood. You were not allowed to be a Priest until you were 30 It represents the King of Kings. The name lamed comes from the roots lamad meaning learning or teach Deuteronomy 4;1 ‘Now, Israel, hear the decrees and laws I am about to teach you. Follow them so that you may live and may go in and take possession of the land the LORD, the God of your ancestors, is giving you.’ Psalm 19:12 ‘Blessed is the one you discipline, LORD, the one you teach from your law;’ But you stay here with me so that I may give you all the commands, decrees and laws you are to teach them to follow in the land I am giving them to possess.” Deuteronomy 5:31 The letter Lamed means also to teach God’s torah/words using authority “… With the lamed imagery in focus, Yeshua’s invitation in Matthew 11:29–30 becomes much more clear and understandable: “Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me…” The metaphor is the same: Being yoked together with Yeshua means learning—learning the teachings of Yeshua, which are, after all, “easy.” And one could just as readily say that Yeshua’s lamed (goad) is not cruel, inflicting unnecessary and excessive pain. It generates just enough discomfort to move the heart in the right direction of closer relationship with God and with one’s fellow man. … What is a disciple to do? What should he learn? A good place to start is with the apostle Paul’s instruction to his star pupil, talmid Timothy: “Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth…From infancy you have known the holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Messiah Yeshua [Christ Jesus]. All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work” (2 Tim. 2:15, 3:15–17). Hebrew’s highest letter brings life’s greatest rewards and, in the end, the “strength of salvation” (Isa. 33:6) and eternal life. The goad of learning, the rigor of study, inculcates understanding that leads to wisdom. The lamed prods ever onward and upward those who yield to its unrelenting pressure. It produces and maintains a mindset of instruction that ever enriches and blesses. As wisdom grows, learning continues to increase: “A wise man will hear and will increase learning…” (Prov. 1:5).
