Kof (Qoph, Koof, Koph, Qof or Kuf)

Kof’s saying sounds is like the “q” in Qoph or Quick or “k” as  in Kof or Kitty.  The Kof has a gematria numerical value of one hundred (100), a perfect Kingdom number. The Kof’s  Hebrew-Phoenician meaning is back of head which symbolizes that  which is behind or what is the “last”; what is final or what is the least? What follows behind the kof is wickedness. Also Kof has a primary meaning of holiness and growth cycles. God is supremely Holy for “Holy shall you be for Holy am I” (Lev.19:2 ). God is Holy--- God is Kadosh, spelled in the Hebrew hey-sheen-vav-dalet-kof or as sheen-vav-dalet-kof. When God said “yea shall be holy,” it  is for us to be in His Righteousness (Kadosh). Note, that God’s Holiness, Kadosh, contains the vav which stands for the spiritual connection between Heaven and Earth, namely the Messiah. Christ sanctifies us (separates us unto God’s Holiness). God’s Holiness is exalted as God is unlimited, boundless and formless. His Spirit and presence penetrates the entire universe. 

Holy...Holy...Holy...Kadosh....Kadosh...Kadosh…is His praise in the Throne Room. The term “Holiness of God” conveys the message that He is supremely exalted. He is unlimited; He is neither obligated nor related to anything existing. He has no resemblance to anything or anyone; He is boundless and formless. Since He is boundless, His Spirit and Presence penetrates the entire universe. His Holiness is removed from all other matters; NO BEING HUMAN OR SPIRITUAL BEING CAN BE COMPARED TO HIM. 

Kof also refers to the cycle of life, the cycle of nature, the weekly Sabbath cycle with its renewal of life forces, the rising and setting of the sun, seasons, and new moon calendar cycles. Kof can represent a summary and judgment at the end of life’s cycle. In this consideration, the millennium fulfills the meaning of Kof. All these demonstrate and teach a pattern of intelligence creation, of purpose to the universe, of an orderliness of God’s perfection.

The Kof stands between the Tzaddi (righteousness) on its right and the Raysh (wickedness or sinners) on its left. Remember that  tzadi refers to the righteous person, a tzadik. The kof stands for God’s Holiness (El Shaddai). The reysh represents the wicked or those who are lost. Note, the opening in the “back of the head” of the kof; it is through this opening in the kof that provides or maintains a standing  invitation for the wicked to repent and enter to become righteous. Hence, the kof has its back to the reysh for the opportunity for holiness is always available for the wicked, sinful man who is not able to be holy without The Almighty God. We have to be endowed with God’s Holiness thru Jesus Christ.

At His Second Coming Yeshua Jesus will reward the righteous, placing them on His right side and judge the wicked, which will be sent to His left side for eternal damnation.

The octaves of the Kof (God’s Holiness) are the Hey (Breath of God) and Lamed (God’s Name: El; El Shaddai; Elohim) and the person of God the Kof.

Raysh, Reysh, Resh or Reish

Raysh’s saying sound is like “r” as in reysh, rent or robin. The Raysh has a gematric numerical value of two hundred (200), meaning redemption. The Raysh’s Hebrew-Phoenician meaning is head or a person. As Rosh (head, beginning, head of Year-Rosh HaShanah), it is the highest. Hence, this was its original  meaning in the ancient Hebrew Paleo-Hebrew alephbet until the Babylonian captivity when it took on the meaning of "wickedness" or one who is the leader or “head” of a race of the fallen people—evil doers. The reysh does not denote wickedness of some inanimate object, or even of an animal, but of man himself---depicting the rebellious nature of the only entity in the universe that has a free choice between good and evil. Raysh is symbolic of choosing degradation over greatness. It is stands for the wicked or wickedness. This applies to man, whose rebellious nature is such that by his free-will, he chooses evil over good.

Note, that the wickedness of man shows-up near the end of the Hebrew alephbet, rather than at the beginning.  All prior alephbet letters were of goodness and righteousness (even the tet which means that which looks evil is good).  All these preceding Paleo-Hebrew instructions were given for righteous living wherein man might know goodness, kindness, love, patience, long-suffering, gentleness, joy, humility, meekness, faithfulness and self-control that he may not choose the easy way of self-centeredness. The wicked will sin no matter whom they may hurt. Adam was knowledgeable of God’s desires- he walked with God- yet he deliberately sinned… For God’s people sin, just as Adam/Eve’s, is not due to a lack of knowledge, as we have the Holy Scriptures and the Holy Spirit.

By the Raysh, we are shown that there are times when we must condemn destructive conduct and shun those who exhibit it. But remember that even the wicked retain the potential to repent and when they do, we must accept them into the Christian community. Look at the wicked person, rashah (ayin-sheen-reysh) for the spark of goodness is in everyone. Rashah is the wicked one. Wickedness (unrighteous) is reeshoot (tav-vav-ayin-sheen-reysh). Bad is  ra or ra’ah (ayin-reysh).

Note, the Father desires that no one be lost to wickedness as He puts the ayin or Spiritual Insight of the Holy Spirit into each of these Hebrew "wicked words," such as wicked one, rashah (ayin-sheen-reysh). There is an enlarged raysh in Exodus 34:14 (KJV) “ For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God:” The enlarged raysh appears in  akhair (enlarged raysh-chet-aleph) translated as “other god.” This is the most wicked thing one can do.

 Are we not all sinners brought unto salvation under Abba’s grace and mercy thru Jesus Christ? We cannot refuse to help our brother. If Abba can forgive us, then we likewise can forgive others. It is never too late to repent and be forgiven. Eternal life waits. Quickly repent! Adam should have repented.
