Is there evidence of Jesus in Genesis?
The two Hebrew letters aleph (א) and tav (ת) are the first and last letters of the alphabet respectively. Joined together, these letters form the tiny word et (את)which has no equivalent in English. But this mysterious, untranslatable word is worth taking a closer look at. It really is the key to understanding the vital connection between the God of Genesis and the good news of Jesus Christ…

An untranslatable Biblical word
The first letter of the Hebrew alphabet is א and the last letter is ת. Together, they create the word et (את) which appears thousands of times in the Bible, but has no translation. For example, et appears twice in the first verse of the Bible: בראשית ברא אלהים את השמים ואת הארץ. But the English, “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth,” simply omits the et completely in translation.
The Alpha and the Omega
So, what does et mean? Grammatically, it indicates that the word following is a direct object of the sentence. Theologically, it could be read as an implicit reference to Jesus, who, like et, refers to himself as “the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last” (Rev. 22:13). Could it be that the et on the very first page of the Bible is in fact a secret allusion to Jesus?
Decipher the codes of the Bible The Gospel of John opens with, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” Perhaps “the Word” that John reveals is the Hebrew word et. This is the Gospel’s way of indicating that although Jesus is not explicitly mentioned in the Creation story, he was there alongside God!

It's very evident when reading aloud the Prologue of St. John when you substitute the Name of Jesus every place you can. "In the beginning was Jesus and Jesus was with God and Jesus was God. ........."
