This chart shows the numerical values of each modern Hebrew letter (That's where you get the Monster energy drink having vav-vav-vav or 666 on their logo.)
This chart shows the ancient Hebrew pictographs, along with the names and meanings.
Some people say that Hebrew was/is the heavenly language or the language that all mankind once spoke, but I don't necessarily think so. After the one language was confused at the tower of Babel, I think we lost record of it. Hebrew may be closest to that language, I'm not for sure. Hebrew is the most anointed for quoting Scripture though. It is interesting to note that while the languages all sound very different, they all seem to be similar in their roots when you look at their alphabets etc.
To read the Bible in Greek and Hebrew, check out: http://www.scripture4all.org/OnlineInterlinear/Hebrew_Index.htm I would say the Greek that the New Testament was written in and then the KJV version of the Bible are the second and third most anointed. The closer the translation is to the source, the richer and more anointed it is. (There are 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet, with five letters having additional "final forms" when they appear at the end of a word. There are no capital letters in Hebrew. Hebrew is written and read from right to left, rather than left to right as in English.)
It seems like the ancient Hebrew alphabet hinted at the fact that they already had words and used pictographs to illustrate them. English is influenced by Latin (most modern languages have a mixture of influences it seems), but Paleo-Hebrew is one of the most ancient languages.

There are some interesting things about the early Hebrew writing and the name of the thorn pictograph is sin."And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!"-Matthew 27:29, "Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed."-1 Peter 2:24
The Bible speaks of keeping and breaking the commands of God. The words "keep" and "break" are usually interpreted as "obedience" and "disobedience". But this is not the Ancient Hebraic meaning of these words. The Hebrew word for keep is shamar which means "to guard, protect, and cherish," the Hebrew word for break is parar and means "to trample underfoot."
"And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Return to thy mistress, and submit thyself under her hands."-Genesis 16:9
The word 'submit' is used several times in the Bible and in Strong's Greek/Hebrew Concordance the word is linked to this definition in the original Hebrew: http://lexiconcordance.com/hebrew/6031.html Apparently, all modern Hebrew dictionaries and lexicons are written with a Western/Greek perspective, ignoring the original ancient Hebraic concrete (and sense-oriented) understanding of the words. In "The Ancient Hebrew Language and Alphabet" book the parent root of the word submit is explained in this way:
#344 GhN continue the eye -- Watch: "The
nomadic agriculturalist carefully watches over his
livestock and crops by keeping a close eye on them. It
was common to construct a shelter consisting of a roof on
four posts, as a shelter from the glare of the sun. A furrow
depression is formed between the eyes when watching
intensely. The furrow may also be formed by
concentration or depression. The home is a place closely
watched. Protection of the home by keeping of a close eye
on it. A bird that intently watches. The eye reveals the
heart of the person. A spring or fountain is the eye of the
ground."
It is interesting to see how people have changed the meaning of the word 'submit' on the basis of abusing power, when really they are responsible for watching over another person and not "brow beating". I had always wondered about this because from what I know personally about God, He isn't legalistic, but some of the translations seem to almost indicate that. Try reading the protection Psalm, Psalm 91 and James 4:7-10 "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up."
God never judges anyone, but when you don't obey God out of love you fall out of His protection and grace. There are exceptions when you are being prayed over or there is something God has planned for you in His foreknowledge, but this is normally how God's protection works once we are accountable or able to understand that what we're doing is wrong. (We are currently living in the age of grace, not Old Testament Times or the Tribulation, in those cases it would be different because sin is a real force that has to be dealt with and judged. The Age of Grace shows God's heart, and it began after the crucifixion and ends with the rapture.)
I am beginning to wonder if the Catholic church/Romans or whoever accurately translated everything as they should have. Check this video out: https://youtu.be/SM2lwrsYEmM and http://www.mechanical-translation.org/
The only complaint I have about the author of The Ancient Hebrew Research Center is that while he is excellent at teaching the Hebrew language and context of the actual words he is not so great at explaining the historical aspect as far as the fact that God is in control. Jesus Himself taught that there is a Trinity See-http://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/Bible-Verses-About-The-Trinity/ and even if they translated a Hebrew word as "us" and they chose that from the option of potential meanings from Hebrew to English, that was not religious doctrine, but based off of the teachings of Jesus Himself.
Also, there is no doubt that there were Hebrews and Greeks writing the letters we have in the New Testament, but Greek is accurately the main language it is translated in historically, I mean that is just accurate. It is interesting however, to look at the Greek words in there Hebrew context because some of the ancient Hebrew words show God's original intention for say the word submit, as I mentioned earlier. It is the sins of man that have messed up the individual's interpretation of the word. My thoughts were always...submit, okay to who? And how they would treat me definitely matters. Submit to God? Okay, that's great I know that God is good...but another person? That all kind of depends.
When you understand the ancient Hebrew root words and things like that you feel a sense of relief that God is very precise and didn't leave things so open to interpretation. I have always known God to be of few words, but by each word, very, very precise in meaning. So you can look at the word and read other verses telling Christian to love one another and it all connects and makes total sense. So the author of this ministry has done some really wonderful research and makes learning to read Hebrew easier than other teachers, and he should definitely stick to that.
I am also concerned he may be getting like the guy who did the video on America as the whore of Babylon. He had a real revelation and then went off the deep end, suggesting that America was completely Babylon and the one and only evil, when it is an evil world system...and yes America has Christian and Illuminati roots. In order for America to be a "whore" it would have to have been dedicated to God in some way before. "I have seen thine adulteries, and thy neighings, the lewdness of thy whoredom, and thine abominations on the hills in the fields. Woe unto thee, O Jerusalem! wilt thou not be made clean? when shall it once be?"-Jeremiah 13:27 God is talking about Israel through His prophet.
So while America is not the only New World Order, it is a part of it, in its government. And it is the whore (not every last person, there are Christians...many Christians if you compare the US to the rest of the world and even the Bible talks about remnants of Jews who still followed God when He accused the nation of whoredoms.) because an aspect of America's roots has strong Christian influences. There is no other nation like it. It's the gentile Israel, although I hope that the nation ends up as a sheep nation, rather than a goat nation after the tribulation! Read the beginning of my US in Prophecy page for more info. The Catholic church is not it, it was too corrupt to begin with and its ties are too close to the Illuminati and the Roman Empire in such a complete way that it makes no sense.
God is in control, not any tribes, peoples, or languages. What I do think is that God has revealed different aspects of Himself over time. When the Hebrews wrote about hell in the Old Testament it was mysterious to them. And as far as the debate about hell being hot and cold, I have heard it was cold in the Age of Grace, but I'm not sure.
Jesus warned people about hell many times. From the Old Testament: "And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness."-Malachi 3:3 Sin is an evil energy/force (the absence of God/good)...God has to purge sin, it's universal law...He is pure and Holy and cannot tolerate sin! There are many testimonies about heaven and hell as well. It only logically makes sense. Read: http://www.gotquestions.org/did-God-create-hell.html The author of the Ancient Hebrew Research Center fails to take into account that God is sovereign and hell has changed over time/eternity. It could never be a good place in the end because it is separation from God. God cannot tolerate sin, and that is why you have to accept Jesus into your life as your redeemer.
In conclusion, I really like the author's books on the Hebrew/ancient Hebrew language but I wouldn't trust some of his wishy washyness on some of the translations, like some of the examples I mentioned. In the Old Testament the Jews had a certain understanding and they had prophecies about Jesus...as time went on prophecies were fulfilled and even more was revealed to not only the Jews, but mankind.
