In the Beginning....

Genesis 1:1 in our English translation of the Bible, tells us that "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth."  The Restoration Bible tells us that "In the beginning Elohim created... "  "Elohim, A leph T aw, created"..   the aleph and taw  represent the first and last letters of the Hebrew alphabet and are a sign of the direct object in Hebrew grammar and likely depict the presence of both the Father and Son at creation, corresponding with John 1:1-3.  This may also parallel several passages in Revelation, where both the Father and Son are referred to as the alpha and omega  (Rev. 1:8; 21:6; 22:13); these first and last letters of the Greek alphabet correspond to the Hebrew aleph taw.  (taken from the Restoration Study Bible). The notes in this study Bible are so enlightening if you want to get a clearer understanding of what your Bible is really saying!  You have to go to the original language for an understanding of the true word/words
