― Letter 15 of 22 ―
Samech
Prop · Support · Uphold
"The letter Samech is a prop or support — a structure that holds everything else up. Hebrews 1:3 says Yahushua upholds all things by the word of His power. This is written specifically and exclusively about the Son."
The Samech is the support beneath everything else. Without it, what it holds collapses. Hebrews 1 describes Yahushua as the one upholding all things by the word of His power — and then immediately connects that to His work of purging sin and sitting at the right hand of Yahuah. The upholding and the atonement are the same act from different angles. Isaiah confirms it — the Servant is the one Yahuah upholds, the Elect One in whom the Father delights, and Matthew quotes that passage directly in connection with Yahushua's ministry.
