Shalom

• Divine Wholeness is Peace between God and His Children
• Shin (ש): Depicted as a set of teeth, it symbolizes “tooth,” “press,” “consume,” or “destroy.”
• Lamed (ל): Shaped like a shepherd’s staff, it represents “teach,” “yoke,” “lead,” or “authority.”
• Vav (ו): Shown as a tent peg or hook, it stands for “hook,” “secure,” “add,” or “connect.”
• Mem (ם): Resembling water, it signifies “water,” “chaos,” “mighty,” or “flow.”

Together, these symbols can be interpreted as the act of destroying the authority that brings chaos, which beautifully reflects the deeper meaning of “shalom” as peace, wholeness and the absence of conflict or disorder.

Yeshua

• י (Yod): Originally depicted as a hand or arm, it symbolizes action, work, or a deed.
• ש (Shin): Shaped like teeth, it represents consuming, destroying, or sometimes nourishing, depending on context.
• ו (Vav): Drawn as a hook or peg, it stands for connection, joining, or securing something together.
• ע (Ayin): Shown as an eye, it conveys the ideas of seeing, watching, or understanding.

Active hand (Yod), that destroys or saves (Shin), by securing or connecting (Vav), and brings insight or understanding (Ayin). Together the name “Yeshua,” these pictographs reinforce the concept of salvation as both an action and revelation, here and now and in eternity.
