Short readings and lessons from The House of the Highest One God Shall Be Destroyed — the ancient letters, the sound of Scripture's first word, and the Cross written into Genesis 1:1.
The first word of the Bible: beh · reh · SHEET. Read right to left, it means “in the beginning.”
The very first word of the Bible is Bereshit (בְּרֵאשִׁית), pronounced beh-reh-SHEET, with the stress on the last syllable. Hebrew is read right to left, and the word means “in the beginning.” In the ancient Paleo-Hebrew letters that spell it, the story of the whole book is already hidden.
Before God spoke light into existence, the story of the Cross was already written into the first word of the Bible.
A short cinematic reading from The House of the Highest One God Shall Be Destroyed. It opens on Genesis 1:1 — “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth” — and shows how, in the original Paleo-Hebrew, the picture-letters of that first verse carry the shape of the Cross from the very first line of Scripture.
