Double letters
Two Yods in a row designate the name of God Adonai and in certain texts are written with the vowels of Adonai which have their own meaning meaning distinct from Elohim.
As the children of God we can only have the character of God of we will let His tree into our hearts and mind. The double Yod we see in the tree of life suggests we have done that in faithfully eat of that tree.
The Tetragrammaton which begins with the Yod with two Hey separated by Vav.
A Yod is the smallest letter, but kabbalistic types have given it a mystical significance as a divine point through which the 'spark of life' enters the more human realm of our flesh and blood existence.
Man is created both for this world and the world of Spirit.
God is spirit but through the word was made manifest. Jesus was flesh and blood in this world but had that divine connection to the Creator/Father which is Spirit. Some see the team of flesh and spirit as opposites but they are not.
Flesh and spirit are said to be mortal-immortal, earthly-heavenly. They are both contained within man if he is willing to see their truth there is no conflict.
Some will even say Flesh and spirit are good-evil but evil is the absence of good that occurs or that evil is created in man when he denies truth, which hating the light. No one is born again who hates the light or prefers the darkness.
This rejection of the truth, the preference for delusion or is a kind of vain comfort in the lie.
This is when the flesh is out of sink with the spirit and evil and darkness prevail.
This is what occurred when we denied God's word and in vanity ate of the tree of knowledge denying the spiritual revelation of the tree of life.
Double Tav
A double Tav represents double faith or faith in Spirit and truth, spirit and flesh.[1] It is the connection or synchronization of two realms.
Examples of doubles
The are many other occurrence of double letters. Examples of these double letters can be seen in the Song of Solomon or Song of Songs which occurs in chapter 5 within the woman's innermost desires. This book or song seems to be strange and out of place in the biblical library but is full of the symbols of salvation that must come in spirit and in truth.
Song of Solomon 5:2 "I sleep, but my heart waketh: it is the voice of my beloved that knocketh, saying, Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled: for my head is filled with dew, and my locks with the drops of the night."
She answer to the knocking of her lover and no other. Though her love seems to have "withdrawn himself, and was gone"[2] like Christ speaking to the Father on the cross.[3]
During this absence in the text she is left alone and wonders lost in the world and is abused by the "watchmen of the city" but she remains faithful like the true bride of Christ.
In the text we find a double Dalet, three double Yod(s), a double Tav, a double Shin, a double Vav, a double Samech, and two double Lamed(s).
Doubling often signifies truth of the thing in two realms like the double Tav representing a synchronization of the will of the Father and His children, mankind. It is the union of the Father and Son in faith, in spirit and truth.
- Exodus 1:17 "But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the men children alive."
God was good to the midwives who disobeyed the order of the Pharaoh to kill the newly born baby boys, at the risk of their own lives.
In the Bible the phrase for “made the good” contains a double Yod, even though there is no need for it.
Why is it there?
Double Yod
The double Yod means that God's spirit was with them and rewarded them by blessing the Jewish midwives of Egypt.
This, of course, was a part of the armor of God. Faith in action is not just faith in the mind but is fulfilment of a process of salvation. Being a doer of the word is not just a suggestion.
