When Jesus said He is the alpha and omega, the beginning and the end (e.g. in Revelation 22:13), He also spelled a Hebrew word, if you consider the first and last letters (beginning and end) of the Hebrew alphabet, as follows:
Alef is the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet Tav is the final letter of the Hebrew alphabet Vav is the letter that means “and”. The ancient Hebrew letters are as follows:
= (alef) the first letter = (vav) “and”
= (tav) the last letter This word,in ancient Hebrew pronounced “Oht” means “the sign” or “the seal”. This is the word used for the blood of the lamb placed on the door post on Passover (Exodus 12:7). Examining the Hebrew letters more closely, we get:
= (alef) meaning “leader”
= (vav) meaning “nail”
= (tav) meaning “cross” The blood placed on the doorpost on Passover signifies “the Leader nail[ed] [to the] cross”.
