Mashiach’s closed mem

“לםרבה המשרה ולשלום אין-קץ / Of the increase of His government and of peace there shall be no end, on the throne of David, and on his kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from that time on, even forever.” Yeshayahu / Isaiah 9:7. Dr. Karl Coke said: The Hebrew alphabet has two forms for the letter “Mem.” One is open מ (Mem) and is used at the beginning or middle of a word and the other ם (end Mem) is used when the letter appears at the end of the word. The Mem is the first letter in the Hebrew word Mashiach (Messiah). It is also the first letter in the Hebrew word Moshe. The Torah is mostly open for all to study. However, according to Jewish tradition difficult portions of the Torah will be explained only by the Mashiach. This is what has led some Jewish people to conclude that the open form of the Mem is used to describe Torah portions which are open and the final or closed form of the Mem to describe those too difficult to understand. Maran Rabbeinu Yeshua HaMashiach, will make HaShem's Word understood. He said that the Torah, Prophets and Writings speak clearly about Him. In Yochanan / John 5:39 He says, "These are the Scriptures that testify about me (the Mashiach)." The Mem,...
