January 7, 2015 - Greeks/Phonecians/Canaanites; Hebrew Vowels and Consonants

A bit of Semmitic History

1. Greeks acquired written form of language from Canaanites, who are also known as Phoenicians; thus, the origin of phoenix, or phoenetic alphabet.
2. Israelites were commissioned to destroy Canaanites, or they would be destroyed by them (AND THEY EVENTUALLY WERE).
3. 22 letters in Hebrew, and they are ALL consonants
4. In any language, every vowel is really a consonant. Consonants are formed when two pieces of flesh come together.
5. Gutteral consonants are low in the throat and resemble 'hawking a loogie' (my words)
6. These so called Hebrew words are actually Aramaic transliterations of the original Hebrew words. No surviving ACTUAL Hebrew text.
7. Dots and dashes comprise the vowel system
8. Most letters have little lines that resemble serif's. Many letters look very similar (Dallet, Bet, Yod, Resh). These serif's are what Jesus referred to as "Jots" and "Tittles".
9. Every syllable begins with consonant
