Do you understand what this qualifier means? I admit I do not understand 'ordinal numbers - but..
By Gematria 26 = 2 + 6 = 8, which is the number of Messiach - Christ; therefore IHVH {JHVH - Jehovah} is the same as Jesus Christ.
In the same vein: If the numerical values of all 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet are added together, the total value is 1495; 1 + 4 + 9 + 5 = 19, 1 + 9 = 10, the perfection of G*d; therefore the Hebrew alphabet equals the total perfection of God.
The Zohar, Prologue 2b offers a story of how each letter wished to start Scripture - When He {G*d} came to create the world, all the letters presented themselves before Him in reversed order... the letter Beth appealed: O Lord of the world, may it please Thee to put me first in the creation of the world, since I represent the benedictions {Berakhoth} ... offered to Thee on high and below. The Holy One, blessed be He, said to her: Assuredly, with thee I will create the world, and thou shalt form the beginning in the creation of the world.
The first Hebrew word - Bereshith - starts with 'B-' 'In'. It is a charming tale.

No. I don’t understand it, but I thought it was interesting. I haven’t had time to read it closely enough yet. I dropped that into the thread in response to Little Linda’s question. Hopefully, I will have time to do a little more research tomorrow. Thanks for what you posted. Let me know if you find more.
I do firmly believe that we have a hole in our spirits that only God can fill.
