Hebrew picture of belief and faith

 Unfolding the word picture of belief and faith


Each of the Hebrew letters has a picture associated with the letter. We will not look into the picture associated with each letter here. But, we will focus on the three Hebrew letters for belief and faith, which is best known in English as "amen".  Which is found in the Strong's Hebrew dictionary/concordance under the number #539. These three letters are:

Aleph/א which is a picture of two oxen harnessed or bound together.  This idea of binding is expanded to include the idea of gathering together.  

Mem/מ The original picture was waving lines, which represents waves of water.  So mem represents water or any other type of liquid.  


Anciently these two letters were combined to show the one in whom the waters were gathered within.  Thus the mother, who had the embrionic  fluid or waters, gathering in her womb.  This Hebrew word for mother, "em", is found in the Strong's Hebrew Dictionary under #517. 

The final letter, will make this picture clear:

nuwn/נ or ן  The picture associated with this letter is "seed"!  


So when the 'em' or mother has the seed added to her womb, the embrionic fluids gather, and when the seed is ready to come forth from the womb  to be born, the water breaks.  


So amen, refers to the planting of the seed, and the bringing forth of the seed to be born.  When we look at how the ancient Hebrew people used the word in scripture, we will see much more!

#539 Strong's

on one hand:

To nurse, nurture, care for, be a trustee, be a guardian

on the other hand:

To be nurtured, and, cared for

Thus one perspective is of the caretaker, who provides nurture, care, provision for the child.  While the other perspective, is of the child receiving the nurture, care, and provision necessary to grow and thrive.

This nurture, care, and provision, is given in order to establish the seed, so the seed can grow and thrive and become established.

Thus put simply: Belief is to establish, while faith is established.

Therefore, belief is like unto the little child who must be cared for, nurtured, so that the child may grow and mature into full grown faith.  So that they will not waver as the storms of life come against them, but will stand firm and resolute, with determination and steadfastness.  

So we should look to see if we can find examples of each stage in scripture:

1. Seed as first implanted in the womb

2. Seed as it comes forth from the womb to be born

3. Seed as it is growing and maturing outside the womb

4. Seed as it is fully grown and mature

It is my hope and prayer that you will remember this simple picture as you read through the teachings of Jesus once again.  At first it may even seem contradictory, but this will lead to a deeper understanding as one delves into the faith once delivered to the saints.

Tucker anti western propoganda

 Tucker's Qatar Claim: Fact-Checking the "Zero Rapes" MythTucker Carlson recently claimed on his podcast (August 2025) that Qatar has "zero rapes" under Sharia law, using it to argue that Islamic legal systems outperform Western democracies in maintaining order. During an interview with Seth Harp, he praised Sharia for low reported crime, low abortion rates, and no same-sex marriage—positioning it as a model for conservatives frustrated with American liberalism.This is propaganda wrapped in contrarianism—cherry-picked stats that ignore harsh realities. Here’s the breakdown:The Claim's Flaw: "Zero Rapes" Isn't Safety—It's SuppressionOfficial stats vs. reality: Qatar reports near-zero rapes because Sharia-based laws make reporting dangerous for victims. Rape requires four male Muslim witnesses (or a confession), or it's treated as zina (adultery/fornication). Women who report assault often face imprisonment, flogging, or worse for "e...

Qatar Anti-Anerican funding

  Qatar's Spending Overview Qatar, a major Gulf state with significant oil and gas revenues, channels funds through government entities like the Qatar Fund for Development (QFFD), Qatar Foundation, and state-linked charities (e.g., Qatar Charity). These often support humanitarian, educational, and political goals but have drawn criticism for advancing Qatari foreign policy interests, including ties to Islamist groups like the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas. Below, I break down spending in the requested categories based on public reports, FARA (Foreign Agents Registration Act) filings, U.S. Department of Education disclosures, and analyses from think tanks like ISGAP and the Middle East Forum. Figures are approximate and cumulative where specified; recent years (2023–2025) show acceleration amid the Israel-Hamas conflict. 1. Funding to American Colleges Qatar is the largest foreign donor to U.S. higher education, primarily via the Qatar Foundation (a state-controlled entity) for branc...

EU and X

 LEFT WING RESEARCHERS WANT TO LIMIT RIGHT WING DIALOGE! The EU's DSA requirement for researcher data access (Article 40) gives "vetted" researchers—typically academics or non-profits approved by national regulators—easier access to public X data like post engagement, views, and networks. The official goal is studying "systemic risks" (e.g., disinformation spread). Critics argue this can chill or deter honest/open dialogue in these ways:Broad and subjective labeling of "disinformation" or "harmful" speech: Researchers studying political topics can flag dissenting or unpopular views (e.g., on immigration, elections, gender issues, or COVID policies) as "misinformation" if they don't align with mainstream narratives, leading to reports that pressure platforms or governments to suppress them. Doxxing and harassment risks: Detailed data (e.g., who engages with controversial posts) can reveal user networks or identities, even if post...
