Tet
Tet - value 9
Pictograph - looks like a snake
Meaning - to surround, to twist, a twisting or coiling.
Tet is a paradoxical letter in that it reveals both good and evil. The form of the letter is ' inverted' suggesting hidden goodness, like that of a pregnant woman ( pain brings forth life )
Tet can picture either the man who is in rebellion before the Lord or the man that is surrendered to Him.
When a man ( vav) is bowed down before the crowned man ( zayin ), taking upon himself His yoke then his soul is subject to the discipline of the Lord, and His nine fold fruit of the Spirit will grow in his life, ( Galatians 5v 22,23 ) This man will die to Himself and all that is outside the yoke of Christ.
On the other hand, if the soul refuses to bow down and instead rebels, the inner life will take on the characteristics of Satan, and he will share the same fate.
In short how tet is represented depends upon our personal decision to give our lives to the Messiah and be yoked together with Him. Will we choose to surrender our lives offering ourselves as living sacrifices, or will we inwardly rebel and live in the selfish pride that marks the devil.
Deuternomy 30 v19 " I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life" .
We choose to go into the fence ( chet) and then we are surrounded.
Provebs 18 v 10 The name of the LORD is a strong fortress; the godly run to Him and are safe ( surrounded )
The letter tet is first used in Genesis 1v 4 , the word for good.
The Hebrew word for good is tov meaning ; what is on the outside surrounding and what is on the inside, they are one, no hidden grey areas, no hidden motives .
Jeremiah 33v11 Gives thanks to the Lord of Heaven's Armies,
For the LORD is good.
His faithful love endures forever.
