Here's another great channel with John's lessons on it but they start on about page 6 or 7. MEANING, they have a lot of other videos and sermons to pardes from (see what I did there?) as well. Also, they seem to be a bit of a computer nerd like myself, and, ya know....if ya can't trust a nerd...I mean....Then we're really dun fer-

Sooner or later they will try and shut down all channels - so the more the better. Even BETTER - download them, spread them around. Start your own channel - rip them off - rip ME off.

John points out some interesting things I hadn't realized, even though I have watched this video probably 5 or 6 times previously-

With the gematria value of each letter, i.e. :
alef = 1
bet =2
and so on
tsadi = 90, (9+0=9)it is the 18th letter, 1+8 = 9
you can do this with all the letters to help you remember what the value is...
ayin = 70 (7+0 = 7), it is the 16th letter, 1+ 6 = 7
etc.
EXCEPT
yod = 10 (1+ 0 = 1), it is the 10th letter, like alef 1= 1 both alef and yod = 1
likewise getting into the thousands, Yaweh uses the "final forms" of which there are only a few
Final form (like a capitol letter) Alef with a yod (used like an apostrophe) = 1000, 1+0+0+0 STILL comes back to 1
I find it interesting that the letter Alef representing God, Lord of Hosts, and Yod - the hand of God are linked, as well into the thousands brings to mind a verse:

«For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.»
Malachi 3:6

I AM - the Lord - I do not change.
That is an EXTREMELY comforting verse. To me at least.

Also- we went through a series of water type letters as I wrote previously: men, nun, samech, ayin (BUT ONLY if you give any creedence to my OPINION that samech has something to do - because of it's shape and angle - with carrying liquid, or pouring out)
That series ends with an eye, ayin - tears, springs.
THEN into a mouth (peh after ayin) eyes and mouth (the mouth is a pretty wet place yeah?) are pretty closely related. Even just geographically-
I'm not talking about how GOD - ACTUALLY links to letters together. Like Alef and Tav (the FIRST and the LAST letters - are linked by God, as a rule) but just general relativity, and symmetry. Synchronicity. Then we have tsadi - a hook, or on land, a trap.
Another verse comes to mind-

«And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. And they straightway left their nets, and followed him.»
Matthew 4:19-20

Fishers of men...and a mouth and a hook right next to each other-hmmmm.
It's almost like God asks them the question AND shows us how it's done at the same time.
Peh - meet tsadi.
I love John Kostic - I really do, but he keeps using this word clever...
It almost seems a little degrading to me- not degrading, that's the wrong word- minimizing. But after a little thought on my own trying to come up with a better word the only thing I could muster was "spiritual boner."
So clever is probably best-

One last thing and I'll keep it quick for you to consider-
why tsadi? The Lord already made Zayin - phonetically almost the same? And why start with a "t" which is 99% silent? Why not start with an "s" ? And if you started with an "s" you just has samech. Both - in essence ase "sa." tSadi, samech. Sa, sah.
Huh?
Go through and see what other letters seem eerily similar sounding. I mean if you only have 22 letters to start with - you're REALLY kind of limiting yourself with similar (phonetically) sounding letters....
?
I have some thoughts, musings really-
which I'll not bore you with
Enjoy

And may the LORD, Yaweh, the Lord of Hosts be with you on your journey.
May he take you on a guided tour of His orchards.
God bless you
