Aleph

Strength · Leader · First

"The letter Aleph speaks of the one who stands first and above all. Yahushua fulfills that in the most specific way — Yahuah appointed and ordained Him as firstborn, the first man through the door of resurrection and the first of an entirely new creation."

Concept — First of the New Creation

Yahushua is the firstborn of the new creation — the first man to be resurrected and glorified by the Father. His resurrection is not the end of the story, it is the beginning of an entirely new one. Every person who is born again enters that same new creation He opened. He holds the first rank not because of age or pre-existence, but because Yahuah appointed Him as the first through the door — the prototype of everything the Father is building. Just as the first Adam was the beginning of one creation, the Last Adam is the beginning of another.

Colossians 1:15 "He is the image of the invisible Elohim, the firstborn over all creation."

Psalm 89:27 "I will also appoint him my firstborn, the highest of the kings of the earth."

Revelation 3:14 "These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning (firstborn/ruler) of the creation of Elohim." — Yahushua speaking about Himself.

Study Note — Psalm 89:27

The language Yahuah uses here is appointment — "I will appoint him my firstborn." Yahushua did not hold this title by nature — He was chosen and set apart for it before the world began, then He earned it by walking it out perfectly through death and resurrection. That makes the appointment far more remarkable: Yahuah ordained a man to be first, and that man delivered on it completely.
