Plucking the Eagle's Wings

The Prophetic Implication of Election 2000

The third letter, shin, is the most interesting of the entire alphabet. Shin is the twenty-first letter and it represents the name of God (Shaddai). The letter shin appears on every mezuzah in the world. (A mezuzah is a small case containing a piece of parchment inscribed with the Shema, or verses from Deuteronomy, and placed on the doorpost of a Jewish home or business.) The value of shin is 300. George Bush was ahead by 300 votes in two of the numerous Florida recounts. So the last two letters of Bush's name in Hebrew are equivalent to two of the recount totals. Considering the connotation of the Hebrew letters that spell the name Bush, its meaning could be tied to the idea of connecting God and the house or connected to the house of God . It is fascinating that during the campaign, the Bush team did not use the traditional "V" sign using two fingers to signify victory, but they used a "W" by holding up three fingers. The Hebrew letter equivalent to "W" in form is the letter shin. As far as sound, the equivalent is the letter vav, which is translated back into the English alphabet as the letter "V" or "W." Yet, the ancient form of the letter shin, in the time of Moses, was actually written like the English W is today. While these meanings are interesting, they should not be overly emphasized since many English names also contain the letters beit and shin. Also, it should be noted that this is not the Hebrew meaning of the name Bush, but the meaning of the symbols of the Hebrew letters. The Name Gore The name "Gore" transliterated into into Hebrew. The name "Bush" transliterated Hebrew. The Hebrew letters have been reversed to read from left to right!
