The Complete Messianic Aleph Tav Scriptures (C-MATS) is a study bible which focuses on the study of the Aleph/Tav Character Symbol used throughout the old testament (Tanakh) by both Moses and the Prophets and is the most exhaustive and unique rendition of its kind in the world.
Over 5 years in the making, this English rendition reveals every place the Hebrew Aleph Tav symbol was used as a "free standing" character symbol believed to express the "strength of the covenant" in its original meaning. The Aleph/Tav was also believed to be the "mark" of the "divine hand" for thousands of years by such famous rabbis as Nahum of Gimzo, Akiva, and R. S. Hirsch as well as the Apostle John who claimed in the book of Revelation that the symbol also incorporated Y'shua haMashiach (Jesus the Messiah) because of His divinity.
Also revealed in C-MATS is the use of the Aleph/Tav as it is incorporated into the creation of hundreds of Hebrew words used thousands of times, thus taking our understanding of the scriptures to a whole new level.

In the Seminar "The Pseudepigrapha and Christian Origins of the
Studiorum Novi Testamenti Societas," chaired from 2000 to 2006 by
Professors James H. Charlesworth (Princeton) and Gerbern S. Oegema
(McGill), the relation between the Pseudepigrapha and the New
Testament has been discussed systematically and intensively in a
way never seen before. The seminar and its participants have
focused on the use, adaptation, reinterpretation and further
development of non-canonical traditions in the canonical writings
of Early Christianity.The Pseudepigrapha investigated included the
Old Testament ones and those found in the Qumran as well as the
Pseudepigrapha of the New Testament and the ones used in the Early
Church. The seminar and its participants, who were all internally
renowned experts from around the world, have focused on the use,
adaptation, reinterpretation and further development of
non-canonical traditions (except for Philo, Josephus, the Essene
and early Rabbinic writings) in the canonical writings of Early
Christianity. The seminar has met in total five times in various
locations, while systematically being arranged around the following
topics: The Pseudepigrapha and the Synoptic Gospels, the "Gospel of
John", the "Epistles of Paul", the Other New Testament Writings,
and the "Revelation of John".This series focuses on early Jewish
and Christian texts and their formative contexts also includes
sourcebooks that help clarify the ancient world. Five aspects
distinguish this series. First, the series reflects the need to
situate, and to seek to understand, these ancient texts within
their originating social and historical contexts. Second, the
series assumes that it is now often difficult to distinguish
between Jewish and Christian documents, since all early
'Christians' were Jews. Jesus and his earliest followers were
devout Jews who shared many ideas with the well-known Jewish
groups, especially the Pharisees, the Essenes, and the various
apocalyptic groups.Third, the series recognizes that there were
(and still are) many ways of understanding authoritative literature
or scripture. Therefore, we must not impose a static notion of
'canon' on the early period of our culture and in turn denigrate
some texts with labels such as 'non-canonical', since such terms
are anachronistic designations that were only later imposed on the
early documents. Fourth, the series emphasizes the need to include
all relevant sources and documents, including non-literary data,
and that all important methodologies - from archaeology and
sociology to rhetoric and theology - should be employed to clarify
the origin and meaning of the documents. Fifth, scientific research
is at the foundation of these publications which are directed to
scholars and those interested in Jewish and Christian origins.
Understanding the Book of Revelation is an exposition of the Book
of Revelation, simply written, explaining the main symbols
according to the findings of most scholars on each topic. It is not
weighted down with speculation and fringe concepts, but defines the
meanings that are most often held by Biblical scholars. This book
takes you step by step through the Book of Revelation expounding on
each issue so that you can uncover for yourself what will happen
during these exciting times. It will tell you if the perspective is
from heaven or earth, if the event is mentioned chronologically, or
if something yet in the future is being explained. No longer do you
have to be intimidated by the Book of Revelation. Now you can enjoy
the blessings promised to those who read and hear its message. This
is a book for people of all ages and denominations who are
interested in understanding the Book of Revelation. Dr. Terri Lewis
began seriously studying God's Word after she attended many hours
of home Bible studies in the '70's and '80's and still desired
more. Delving deeper into the Word, alone and with friends and
attending college Bible courses whenever they were available, she
realized her passion for God's Word. Terri taught Bible in the
Christian Schools where she worked and later received a Doctorate
Degree in Christian Education.
