The Secret Hidden in Genesis 1:1
The first word of Scripture encodes the Cross—letter by letter
In Hebrew, the very first word of Scripture is בְּרֵאשִׁית (Bereshit), “In the beginning.”
Most read it as a simple opening—the start of a story. But ancient rabbis noticed something deeper. Each pictographic letter in Hebrew carries meaning:
ב (Bet) – house
ר (Resh) – head or son
א (Aleph) – the strength of God
ש (Shin) – consume, destroy
י (Yod) – hand
ת (Tav) – cross or covenant mark
Read right-to-left, the word paints a picture:
“The Son of God will be destroyed by His own hands on a cross.”
Before there was sin, there was already a Savior.
Before Eden’s fall, Calvary’s plan was written into the alphabet of creation.
