The translation of the two Hebrew letters into Greek would be 'alpha' and 'omega.'The meaning of the letters in Hebrew have a fuller meaning than just the first and last letter of the alphabet.From what I read, aleph means strength and tav means cross. The reason that you don't know is because you don't know…[Read more]
