Lamb speaks the Word
Aramaic speakers can appreciate the very compelling nature of the lamb metaphor, as one of the most wonderful wordplays in the gospel and Book of Revelation arises from the shared definition of the words ?speak? and ?lamb?. See for example in Revelation 6:1 where the word ?spoke? (amra) is the same for the word lamb (amra). See also Rev 15:3 where the words appear in sequence (amra u amryn).
Burden/Cargo/Debt of the Beast
In Revelation 17:7 (the beast that carries her) we see ?carries? (tEayna) is another word for cargo, suggesting that the beast does cargo for the whore, or perhaps the beast is cargo to the whore. Or perhaps the whore is the cargo?
Incidentally, note the phrase ?tax collectors and harlots? (mksa u znyTha) in Matthew 21:31 can also be translated ?secret and whore?. Perhaps this is a clue that one of the secrets of the whore is that she is a tax collector or services them.
Who is Worthy?
Read Revelation 5:9 (?You are worthy to take the book and to loosen its seals, because you were sacrificed and you bought us with your blood for Alha from all the tribes and peoples and inhabitants?):
Sixes
Throughout the Book of Revelation, we see the sixth letter of the aleph bet, ?vav? beginning a sentence. It is overwhelming how many times we see ?vav?, as the judgments of Revelation are put into the context of sixes. Obviously the infamous 666 number of the beast comes to mind. But there are many other examples. Note for example Revelation 17:17, where we see the word ?fulfilled? (dnShThmlyn) can also be translated ?judgment six filled?.
Walk like a King
In Revelation 2:1, notice the wordplay between walks? (mhlk) and king (mlk).
Spacetime
The phrase ?angel of the church? (mlaka dbEadTha), is used as the preface of each of the seven instructions to the seven churches in Revelation chapters 2 and 3.
This phrase can also be interpreted as ?filled up place of time sign?, which would be a reference to spacetime:
mla = fill up
ka = here/space
db = of/in
Ead= until/while/time
Tha = sign/come/fig
Ark of the Covenant Paradox
According to the gospel, the temple is the body of the son of man. See e.g., John 2:21; <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.templesecrets.info/">http://www.templesecrets.info/</a><!-- m -->
Now the ark (qybuTha) of the covenant is inside the temple. So the ark/boat is inside the man, and yet man is supposed to be inside the boat. The word for ark (qbuTha) helps resolve the paradox because qba means measure. So, only by measuring ratio is this paradox resolved. A boat can be inside a man, and man inside a boat, by repeating a fractal ratio.

The concept of ships on the water carrying cargo is pervasive in the gospel. For example, the word for ships (alp) also means thousand (think recursive digits). Waters parallel peoples. And cargo is another word for burden, as in the burden of sin. The parallels are amazing to explore as we steer/will our proverbial and actual vessels through this world of proverbial and actual waves!
Swordplay
Note the wordplay in Revelation 2:16 between qrb (wage war) and Khrb (sword).
Pergama
The third assembly Pergama is admonished for eating sacrifices of idols, and note all the Aramaic wordplays and dichotomies focusing on ?repentance of the mouth?:
Lamb Shepherd
In Revelation 7:17, we read that the lamb (amra) actually shepherds (rEaa) the souls before the throne. Notice these interesting wordplays in the passage: (1) the lamb leads them to fountains (EaynTha) and wipes the tears from their eyes (Eaynyhun), and (2) the fountains are of waters (dmya) and the lamb wipes away the tears (dmEaa).
Flowers on the wrong grave
In Revelation 11:10 notice the word gifts (muhbTha) is like a combination of two words: flowers (hbTha) and death (muTh). This is an interesting wordplay because in this passage the two witnesses have just been killed and yet the people of Israel send gifts/flowers to one another (rather than put flowers on the graves of the witnesses to honor them). Indeed, the bodies of YHVH?s witnesses are not even respectfully entombed, but rather are displayed on the streets/marketplace.
Like death
I think it?s an interesting wordplay that the Aramaic word ?like? (dmuTha) can also be translated ?of death?. The Yahshua emphasized repeatedly that he lived directly in the Father, spoke directly on behalf of the Father, and so forth. Unless I am mistaken, Yahshua never said he was just ?like? (dmuTha) the Father, though I presume he is like the Father.
Perhaps in this wordplay there is a great and largely unanswerable question ? highlighting a fundamental choice of faith - do we strive to be one with the Father, or just similar to the Father. In the Roman imperial cult tradition (i.e., Caesar is a god), the whole idea is to be like the gods. Even today, ?new age history? often reads like disgruntled religious students who look in the mirrors of history to gaze upon idols, reflections of reflections, commentaries of commentaries, and stories of stories, and in doing so they (we?) eventually believe in the ?likeness? of gods more than the reality of YHVH.
The original and literal bible presents Yahshua?s Father as an exact and precise mathematician and writer of reality. He brings confusion on whomever he wills, and He nurtures in truth whomever he desires.
Who am I to say what is truth? Pilate said, what is truth? I don?t even know what I don?t know; so obviously I don?t claim to have a lien on truth (see e.g., <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.logicalhierarchy.com/Logical_Hierarchy/Home/Entries/2009/2/2_Logic%2C_Faith%2C_and_Skepticism.html">http://www.logicalhierarchy.com/Logical ... icism.html</a><!-- m -->). I just see a lot of what appears to be copycatism in books and documentaries today, especially as Roman and Egyptian historians rely on anecdotes in textual history to stake a claim on religious reality. I wonder who has been willingly (check) mated by the dragon described in the bible, the father of lies. In Aramaic, dragon (tnyna) means second, as in second-place - not the original. I suppose then it is natural to expect the dragon to copy.
I often see strawman arguments (where two false choices are presented): False option 1: the real bloodline lineage of Jesus can be traced to the pharaoh/caesar/british-throne; and False option 2: Jesus never really existed.
?And the dragon was furious about the woman and he went to wage war with the rest of her seed, those who keep the commandments of Alha and have the testimony of Yahshua.? Revelation 12:17.
YHVH?s fortune
In biblical Hebrew ?gd? is the Babylonian god of fortune. By contrast, in biblical Hebrew yShuEa means Yah?s fortune.
The gospel helps explain that Yahshua?s body is the temple (see John 2:21), and of course the priests of the day put more value on Herod?s temple than on Yahshua. Now consider Revelation 11:1 (measure the temple with a reed), where reed (qnya) is a play on wealth (qnyna).
Then at the end of Revelation 11 we see another temple measurement wordplay. In Rev 11:19 the word ark (qybuTha) is measure (qba) and sign (uTha), because of temple reference here and in Rev 11:1.
Fear or Corruption
A straightforward wordplay can be found in Rev 11:18, where a reward is given to those servants who fear/reverence (dKhly) the name of mrya Alha, whereas punishment is given to those who corrupt (dKhblu) the earth.
Speaking to 7 Spirits
In Revelation 1:16, notice how ?spear ?(rumKha) from the mouth could be a wordplay on ?spirit? (ruKha), especially as Yahshua holds and speaks to the seven spirits of Alha (see e.g., Rev 4:5 and 5:6).
Love Song
Revelation 14:2, ?The sound that I heard was like a harpist who strikes his harps. And they were praising as a new praise song before the throne and before the four living creatures and before the elders. And no one was able to learn the praise song, except the one hundred and forty four thousand purchased from the earth.?
In this passage, it?s interesting that the word ?strike? (nqSh) can also be translated ?kiss?. So the angels have kissing harps? Perhaps this song for the lamb being sung by the 144,000 is a love song.
As I already explained in my first post above, the literal text suggests the 144,000 are females, not males. So that?s exciting that the text also suggests they are singing a love song to Yahshua.
I know I don?t know the song; I shouldn't even guess because my best guess would be, ?Israel and Yahshua sitting in a tree?? <!-- s

Also note the word play in Revelation 14:3 between ?learn it? (alph) and ?thousand? ( alpyn).
666 Mark of the Beast or 7-7-7 Seals
Notice the wordplay in Revelation 5:1, where right hand of the One on the throne inscribes (rShym) the seven seals. This word for inscribe (rShym) is similar to the mark (ruShma) of the beast in Revelation 13:16, inscribed into the right hand. Another nice signpost of Aramaic primacy is the wordplay of ?seven? (ShbEaa) and ?seals? (tbEaa). I think there is also a '6 or 7' dichotomy wordplay there as men are bEaa ("seeking") the fulfillment of seven days in Alha, but are ensnared by the tEaa ("wandering/error") of the sign of man, six.
Aramaic speakers can appreciate the very compelling nature of the lamb metaphor, as one of the most wonderful wordplays in the gospel and Book of Revelation arises from the shared definition of the words ?speak? and ?lamb?. See for example in Revelation 6:1 where the word ?spoke? (amra) is the same for the word lamb (amra). See also Rev 15:3 where the words appear in sequence (amra u amryn).

Who is Worthy?
Read Revelation 5:9 (?You are worthy to take the book and to loosen its seals, because you were sacrificed and you bought us with your blood for Alha from all the tribes and peoples and inhabitants?):
- - The words ?sacrificed? (nks) and ?purchased? (zbn) are interesting when used together because ?nksa? means possession.
- - The phrase ?take the book? is noteworthy because ?take? (msb) may be a wordplay here on gospel (msbrnuTha). Note also rnuTha is ?think and sign?.
- - The word ?worthy? (Shuyt) comes from root ShuEa, meaning ?worthy?, as in Yahshua (Y?ShuEa). See also for example, Revelation 5:2-5.
Sixes
Throughout the Book of Revelation, we see the sixth letter of the aleph bet, ?vav? beginning a sentence. It is overwhelming how many times we see ?vav?, as the judgments of Revelation are put into the context of sixes. Obviously the infamous 666 number of the beast comes to mind.

Swordplay
Note the wordplay in Revelation 2:16 between qrb (wage war) and Khrb (sword).
Pergama
The third assembly Pergama is admonished for eating sacrifices of idols, and note all the Aramaic wordplays and dichotomies focusing on ?repentance of the mouth?:
- - Eat (makl) sacrifices (Rev. 2:14) and receive the sword of the mouth (pumy) (Rev. 2:16). Or triumph and receive bread (mnna) at Rev 2:17
- - Repent (Thub) at Rev 2:16, or cease (kShla) at Rev 2:14. Indeed, see the Aramaic word doctrine (mlpnuTha) at Revelation 2:14 ? this word can be translated alternatively as ?word/fill teach and sign/repent?, especially as we see aTha (sign/repent) at Rev 2:16 and mouth at Rev 2:16.
- - Notice the dichotomy between the idol (pThkra) used by the unrepentant in Rev 2:14, versus the pebble (KhuShbna) at Rev 2:17 for he who overcomes. Interesting that pebble (KhuShbna) also means accounting, which is a wordplay if you see the manna bread (mnna) is a play on the word for number (mnya).
Lamb Shepherd
In Revelation 7:17, we read that the lamb (amra) actually shepherds (rEaa) the souls before the throne. Notice these interesting wordplays in the passage: (1) the lamb leads them to fountains (EaynTha) and wipes the tears from their eyes (Eaynyhun), and (2) the fountains are of waters (dmya) and the lamb wipes away the tears (dmEaa).
