Study #8: BET

The Gematria for BET is 2 which is manifested in three related aspects:

1. UNION.

2 is the number for togetherness like the concept of 2 lovers united as one.

In the pictorial of BET as a tent/house, God as the head of the house is seen dwelling among His people as part of their daily lives found in the sacrificial system of the Tabernacle of Moses. But in the New Testament, 1 John 1 :14 brings the concept of togetherness even closer: ” And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt ( tabernacled ) among us…”. That means Jesus became BET in the flesh and when we are joined with and in Him, we become “housed” in Him in God’s household/ family of faith. He thus becomes the visible image in the flesh of an invisible Father God ” …which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at and our hands have touched” ( 1 John 1:1 ). Intimacy becomes part and parcel of our Union and Communion with Christ.

2. DIVISION

But the number 2 is a divisible number and also brings a contrasting separation e.g. Light from Darkness, Life from Death, Righteousness from Unrighteouness.

Such disparate states of being cannot be reconciled as in Heaven and Hell.

3. WITNESS

2 is also a number for ‘witness’ e.g. in civil law we need witnesses at least 2 to verify a crime or accident.

Again in a marriage, a wife is the best witness/ testimony of her husband’s life and character.

Father God, even the Gematria for BET has so much to teach us. In Christ we have become part of the household/ family of God ( BET ). In Christ we have been taken out if the kingdom of darkness into His kingdom of Light. In Christ we are the best witness of a transformed life. ” I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself to me” ( Galatians 2:20 ).
