Who’s got our Vav?
This reference to the Hebrew Alefbet is because the letter Vav also has the numerical value for 6.
This is a military term for fellow soldiers and all military personnel meaning basically, who has your back/ blind side covered is: your 6. 
This is by way of saying during combat situations, I’ve got your 6 or, watch your six.
I’ve got your six was a phrase first used in the U.S. Armed forces Basically means “I’ve got your back.” It comes from the old pilot system in which directions correspond to hours on the clock, where 12 o’clock is forward and 6 o’clock is behind.
Thus anyone behind you is at your six. Six o’clock is straight behind you and sets up the best strike zone. WWI pilots were the first to say, “I got your six,” meaning
they’ve got you covered so the enemy can’t come up behind your back and kill you.
It declares a story of loyalty. . . I’m loyal to you. I’ve got you covered.
Sometimes 4 paws help out too!
As we are in the spiritual battle of the ages it also applies to everyone who has accepted salvation through Jesus/Yeshua’s Atoning Blood. In case we weren’t already aware, that was the moment when we automatically became part of the army of the Lord; we are in a battle, a spiritual one that continually spills over into the natural realm.
Ps 18:18 Amplified Version.
They confronted and came upon me in the day of my calamity, but the Lord was my STAY and SUPPORT.
This is an interesting point: 18 is 3×6 and used twice for this Psalm reference.
Vav is the 6th letter of the alef bet and has that numerical value; recall, they are interchangeable in the Hebrew language.
So we have vav vav vav twice. The paleo pictograph for VAV is a PEG meaning:
to: add, secure, hook, stake, nail, a tent peg, joining together becoming bound or nailed to.
This is a securing item, something that keeps something else in place; and something we can fasten something to. So we, as 6’s, (also the number of man), can fasten our hope/tikvah to it like an anchor/ogehn and securely attach our faith to His promises including that of protection for our 6/Vav/back.
Thou wilt keep [him] in perfect peace/Shalom –
whose mind is
stayed firmly
and
securely fastened
on Thee because he trusteth in thee.
Isaiah 26:3. This is connected to Eph. 6 and also with feet being shod with peace/shalom and having the mind covered by the helmet of salvation.
So who’s really got our backs, our 6, our Vav in times of war and conflict?
In Psalms – Mizmor LDavid
מזמור לדוד
In Psalm 91:4 we read of the buckler
Webster’s Revised Unabridged Dictionary
Buc”kler\, n. [OE. bocler, OF. bocler, F. bouclier, a shield with a boss, from OF. bocle, boucle, boss. See Buckle, n.]
A kind of shield, of various shapes and sizes, worn on one of the arms (usually the left) for protecting the front of the body.
The Medieval Buckler is in throat area, sword extended. Buckler extended, sword kept back. good pose to wind up a powerful strike. if you look carefully, you see that the fighter is looking over the shield at the enemy. His sword arm is protected, but not impeded by the shield. This large shield covers the body.
Buckler shield was one of the most common medieval shields and was specifically useful for swordsmen because of its lightweight structure. It was designed to deflect the attacking blades and could be easily controlled.
Buckler definition is – a small round shield held by a handle at arm’s length. How to use buckler in a sentence.
The shield was adapted and made larger in size so that the soldier could protect his foreleg as well as his torso while in combat.
He is our buckler*
A buckler*. (*Heb. ‘Buckler’ means, ’that which goes around’, a very large shield to protect the whole body on 3 sides. The Lord gives full protection).
And mentioned also in Psalm 23 where we are told the rod and staff fend off the enemies and also direct and rescue and comfort us respectively.
Recall the relevance of rod/branch and staff from recent posts.
We are to remain under the shadow of His wings and in that safe place we are to abide.

However if we do venture out onto the battlefield, which is unavoidable, we need to know that His protection is over us. One of the most well known and most quoted scriptures pertaining to protection is in Ephesians 6:12-18.
And this same shield is also referred to in that scripture.
For a moment, let’s clear our minds from what we think we know of this familiar scripture and look at it with fresh eyes.
Ephesians 6:10-19 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the Power of His Might. PUT ON the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
NOTE: He does not say to wear it for a certain length of time!
Nor does he say to take it off again!
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood,
but against principalities,
against powers,
against the rulers of the darkness of this age,
against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
Therefore take up the whole armor of God,
that you may be able to withstand in the evil day,
and having done all,
to stand.
Stand therefore, having girded your waist with Truth,
having put on the breastplate of Righteousness,
and having shod your feet with the preparation of the Gospel of Peace;
above all, taking the shield of Faith
with which you will be able to quench all
the fiery darts of the wicked one.
And take the helmet of Salvation,
and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God;
praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit,
being watchful to this end with all
perseverance and supplication for all the saints;
and for me, that utterance may be given to me,
that I may open my mouth boldly
to make known the mystery of the Gospel.
We need to be sure not only that we are familiar with this scripture but that we are proficient with its’ meaning, operation and its’ defenses. We need to know that His gospel of shalom/peace, is on our feet. Shalom being the opposite of RA, which is out of harmony with the Lord.
Thou wilt keep [him] in perfect peace/Shalom – whose mind is stayed firmly and securely fastened on Thee because he trusteth in thee. Isaiah 26:3
Shalom – nothing missing nothing broken. Recall the full definition from previous posts or click link below to read it:
Like every piece of equipment if we don’t use it correctly and apply the makers instructions, it does not work efficiently and operate how it’s supposed to and designed to. In order to get the best results from anything, we have to make sure we are following the manufacturers instructions/directions. if we don’t use these recommendations, very often we have to dig out those instructions and dust them off when things go wrong! This is usually because we didn’t take the time to fully familiarize ourselves with the equipment before hand.
In Eph 6, we often focus on the items themselves and not on their function and purpose.
The battle we are in is VERY real and it is not going to get easier or stop until Messiah returns. When we suddenly find ourselves in the midst of a surprise attack, that is not the time to wonder where our weapon is; or to not be certain our defenses are in position.
Helmet of salvation – keep your mind focused on Him.
Breastplate of righteousness – assurance of right standing before Him.
Belt of truth – His Word in us, memorized scriptures that are relevant to a given situation.
Feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace. The Peace that passes all understanding to garrison, guard and keep our thoughts and direction in line with His Will.
These are all defensive pieces of armor.
The only offensive part is the sword of the spirit which is the Word of God, that is spoken scripture coming out of our mouth/pey, speaking forth His Word.
We are not fighting flesh and blood and so this battle cannot be fought with physical weapons. The only thing we need offensively is His Word. and who is the word? Jesus/Yeshua.
It is not a natural conflict, this war is not of this world, so we need supernatural weapons and supernatural protection. This armor once spiritually applied, should never be removed. Nowhere does it ever say to take it off again! Therefore we need only confirm and affirm verbally that it is in place every night before we sleep and every morning before our feet touch the floor.
As each piece has a meaning to our spiritual health and wellbeing, we are responsible to make sure that we are secure and that we are walking in repentance, which keeps us under the Blood of Jesus/Yeshua and all that His Blood does for us.
Click link for Scripture based prayers for both the Blood of Yeshua/Jesus and the armor.
This shield is a large curved one that covers front and 2 sides of the soldiers body
however,
our back is not covered
and therefore vulnerable.
Does this mean there is no protection at our backs??
– Fear NOT!
BUT God!
He has made provision for that also, and in knowing this, it establishes His shalom in us. Nothing missing or broken and He keeps us in perfect Shalom/Peace.
So what is this extra protection?
Our Heavenly Father is concerned about detail so here is His answer to
the only part
not covered
in Eph. 6 armor.
It’s the rereward.
And we find it in Isaiah 58:8
Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedy: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the LORD shall be thy rere-ward.
and
For ye shall not go out with haste, nor go by flight: for the LORD will go before you; and the God of Israel will be your rereward. Is 52:12
This is a portion of the blessing and favor that Isaiah declared would result when Israel turned back to walk with God in true repentance.
Shall be thy rere-ward –
Shall gather thee up.
That is, shall bring up the rear, the glorious power and providence of God, preserving his people; or the glorious Lord himself, our Lord Jesus Christ, the brightness of His Father’s glory, He, as the Word may be rendered,
shall gather thee
He gathers His people to Himself;
He protects and defends them;
He takes care of the weak and feeble, and that are straggling behind;
and He brings them up, being the reward,
and saves them.
Our rereward / rearguard.
(Rearguard of an army is to give protection on the march.)
His Glory is also our protection/ rereward
(going before and coming after or behind us in the form of His Goodness and Mercy.)
Is there is any further meaning in the pictographs?
The word rereward
in Hebrew is
acaph
and this word is used throughout the scriptures.
It means: to gather or collect.
In some scriptures, it also gives the idea of:
gathering together by,
(as we would coin the phrase) bringing up the rear.
In some translations, the phrase, the rear guard is used instead.
The word acaph is made up of
alef sameach and fey/pey
Or
Aleph Samech Pey.
(This is simply a optional/different spelling of the same letters.)
אָסַף
and is pronounced aw-saf’.
The paleo Hebrew pictographs, (word pictures,) reveal the images of:
An Ox, a Prop and a Mouth. (Read left to right).
Aleph/Alef
is the picture of the ox
and has the meaning of:
the strong leader or God the Father.
Samech/Sameach
is the picture of a prop
a support maybe a spine with ribs?
and means:
to support, sustain to twist slowly, or to turn.
Pey/Fey
is the picture of the mouth
and means:
to speak or a word.
Pei-hei: Peh – open mouth –
to declare or express communication spoken written a letter or letters a language word or words. Articulated vocalized distinct definite and manifested.
Second part Hei: to reveal make known or be evident.
Combining the meanings of the letters Alef/Aleph and Samech/Sameach from the pictogram/pictographs;
it could be interpreted and indicate that:
a strong leader is speaking, or declaring he will support or uphold someone.
This strong leader, is our Heavenly Father, Who promises His support to those who turn to Him in true repentance in a special way.
As well as the letter Samech being a picture of a support, something that is able to prop up something else, the idea is also given that the support has a twist or turning in it.
The picture given here by the Samech/prop, could represent that: the glory of the LORD will be gathered, turned and/or twisted around His people in protection.
What a truly amazing promise giving us a clear visual form!
As everything is connected, another link is also noted with Samech; recall the posts focusing on the Menorah, the Almond Tree, Oil and Olive Tree, the source of Light/AWR and Life/CHAIM and the Branch/Choter:
As a newborn must nurse to receive nourishment for survival and growth so must we. As we are born again and desire the milk of His Word. Like the new born child we must latch on firmly grasping and holding on to the SOURCE of that nourishment and ABIDE in His Name and His Word.
The attachment is the process of grafting into the Gephen/Vine/the Olive Tree. He is the Light /AWR of our Life, and the Source of all life His Lifes/Chaim in us.
Click link below for more on chaim
The menorah the lampstand is a supporter of the oil which gives light and is representative of our life in Him.
Samech – the source – like the menorah
contains the
shemen שמן
The Holy Anointing Oil
Shin Mem Nun
SHIN: His essence or being power intense dynamic like blazing fire a force a whirlwind. Dispensing provision source of being.
MEM hidden concealed the place where the seed is planted nurturing developing then trauma incubation ripening and birth
NUN birthing brought forth suddenly
His essence of being tremendous and powerful the source of being concealed
like a time of incubation
until the time of ripening
a birth brought forth in new life
His Name is in the Oil in the Shemen
SHEM N
shemen שמן – Samech Mem Nun–
and in this,
Messiah’s Name is brought forth!
Because in Hebrew it is: שמן המשחה
shemen ha-mishchah, “oil of anointing”
המשחה
ha-mishchah
Mashiach or Messiah!
Shemen afarsimon was a prized oil used in antiquity.
It’s mentioned in Psa.133 as the “precious ointment”
The holy anointing oil,
(Hebrew: שמן המשחה
shemen ha-mishchah,
“oil of anointing”)
formed an integral part of the ordination of the priesthood and the High Priest as well as in the consecration of the articles of the Tabernacle (Exodus 30:26) and subsequent temples in Jerusalem.
Who is our High Priest?
The Menorah also stands as a support for the Holy Anointing oil and the Light that comes forth from it. The Light of the world is Messiah Yeshua/Jesus.
There are Spiritual Principles incorporated here:
Faithfully completing the task assigned with patient endurance – like the trellis for the vine, it is the structure that supports and continually upholds.
John 15:1-10 Tells us of The Vine and its’ Branches. The Vine is its Life SUPPORT. The Source of Life.
If the Branch does not heed and complete the directions fulfilling the makers instructions, the patterns inbuilt inn the DNA, which are both unique and integral to that seed, will not result in the production of fruit ,or replicate itself.
The Source of Life is in the Instructions.
The Branch that does not follow instructions is cut off/pruned.
Never to bear fruit.
Fruit is only produced by the Branch that stays attached to the source getting its life from the source.
To have oil or wine the fruit must be pressed.
Like the Menorah we need oil to produce light. So Not only will not following instructions mean not producing fruit, nor wine, nor oil; it is also is death and these are eternal principles.
And do not fear those who kill the basar (flesh), but are unable to kill the nefesh (soul); but rather fear the One who is able to destroy both basar and nefesh in Gehinnom.
Matt. 10:28; that is spiritual death literally, separation from the Father – the source of lifes/chaim.
Fear the Lord in an attitude or reverence and respect for Who He Is not as in afraid.
Rising up like sap through the vine and giving life to us the grafted in Branches which bring forth fruit. He alone is the source of our life, the branches must remain connected to the Vine, the source, or they will wither and perish. And of course we are not neglecting the alert embedded in the almond branch – watch be alert and ready!
Our Heavenly Father knows that we may be able to defend ourselves from those things that come at us from the front. Those are the attacks that we can see, however, God promises to protect and defend us from all attacks that come against us from behind, from the direction of our rear, where we cannot always see.
Our VAV, our 6, is a blind spot for us but not for Him.
The scripture says that His glory, His manifested presence, His Shekinah, His Ruach HaKodesh, provides a hedge of protection that cannot be breached or broken through by anything, as long as we are honoring our part of His Covenant with us.
Another very interesting reference to Acaph is found in Judges 18:25 and records where the children of Dan threaten to kill Micah and the inhabitants of Laish whom they have just robbed.
Here the word Acaph is translated as lose, and in this scripture context, it means not only: to gather, but, to gather for destruction.
It could be said to mean that even though God the Father promises to support and be the rear guard to those that return to Him and walk in true repentance; we see from the scripture, that His glory can also gather in order to take away. So it can mean destruction for those that come against God’s faithful people.
Another promise of Him looking after the safety of His people and ensuring their victory.
And for those who choose to return to their God and turn from their disobedience, the promise increases to impart even more blessing.
Because each letter has a unique numerical value, we can add to our understanding of the pictographs. It is found in the meaning of the numbers that each of these letters represent.
(Reading right to left.)
אָסַף
80 60 1
Aleph/Alef is the number 1
and refers to: deity, unity, sufficiency, and God the Father.
Samech/Sameach is the number 60
and stands for: pride.
Gaon גַּאֲוָה
גֵּוָה gevah
עֲנָוָה humility anavah
Pey/Fey is the number 80
and is: 8 x 10,
or, a new beginning
or a new birth ordained in heaven.
Adding the meaning of the numbers together with those we have already from the pictograms; it could be said that:
Alef/God the Father, fey/pey/, states that He will samech/ surround and support those who choose to follow Him faithfully. Not only will He sameach/surround and protect His people with His glory, but the enemy 60 will be sameach/gathered and taken away for destruction.
We know that man’s worst enemy is his own pride, so our Heavenly Father will gather/ sameach and destroy man’s pride/60 with His glory, and instead offer man a new beginning 80 pey fey and a new birth/ 80 /pey /fey.
The promise of safety, protection and security that is hidden in the word Acaph was to one day come through His Son. This of course we know has happened and Yeshua/Jesus said it.
Recorded in John 17:1-5
Glorify Your Son, so that the Son may glorify You— 2 just as You gave Him authority over all flesh in order that as to all that You have given Him, He may give eternal life to them. 3 And this is eternal life: that they may be knowing You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ Whom You sent-forth.
Paul also speaks of it confirming in Col. 1:27.
To whom God would make known what the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
So who has our 6 – our Vav?
Our Heavenly Father God Does!
He covers that which is behind as well as going before us.
The LORD is the one who goes ahead of you; He will be with you He will not fail you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed.” Isaiah 45:1-13
Remember …NOW we are certain that not only does The Lord go before us, He is behind us, He is around us, beside us, above us and underneath us are His everlasting arms.
That is complete protection!
Be encouraged!
Be Strong in the Lord and in the power of His Might.
It’s the position He takes behind us and anyone looking at us from the front will be aware of the One who stands behind us. He protects us where we cannot see and where the enemy may try to attack.
When we are in the armor no one can see who is inside that suit!
Prayer example/option:
Adonai/Lord, Avinu/Abba/Father in the Name of Yeshua/Jesus, cover me with your atoning blood and reveal to me the weapons at my disposal. When the enemy tries to attack, remind me of the authority You have given me in your Word and through Jesus/Yeshua’s victory. I know I am seated in heavenly places spiritually, help me to be victorious for Your Glory that I may continue to serve in Your kingdom not mine. I trust completely in the authority and power you have placed in me by Your Ruach HaKodesh/Holy Spirit. Thank you that You are with me in times of need, trouble and uncertainty, You have my back covered.
Included below for easy reference, are some scriptures from the Psalms, Isaiah and Deut.
We would do well to learn these and hide His Word in our hearts, as this is the Sword that we will need to employ. This is the offensive weapon we are to speak forth, while Father has our 6/Vav/ He is our Acaph.
Promises
Isaiah 51:3The LORD will comfort Israel again and have pity on her ruins. Her desert will blossom like Eden, her barren wilderness like the garden of the LORD. Joy and gladness will be found there. Songs of thanksgiving will fill the air.
Psalm 23:4 Even when I walk through the darkest valley,I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me. Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me.
Our Refuge is in the Lord.
Psalm 62:6-8 Truly He is my Rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will not be shaken. My salvation and my honor depend on God; he is my mighty rock, my refuge. Trust in him at all times, you people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge.
Psalm 91:4-5He will cover you with his feathers, and under His wings yo will find refuge. His truth is your shield and armor. You do not need to fear terrors of the night, arrows that fly during the day,
Fear not!
It’s not a suggestion! It’s a command!
Deuteronomy 3:22 Ye shall not fear them: for the Lord your God he shall fight for you.
Deuteronomy 33:27 The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee; and shall say, Destroy them.
Psalm 27:1 The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
Psalm 91:1-16 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in Him I will trust.”
Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler
and from the perilous pestilence.
He shall cover you with His feathers,
and under His wings you shall take refuge.
His Truth shall be your shield and buckler.
You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day, nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.
A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand, but it shall not come near you. Only with your eyes shall you look, and see the reward of the wicked.
Because you have made the LORD, who is my refuge, even the Most High, your dwelling place,
no evil shall befall you, nor shall any plague come near your dwelling.
For He shall give His angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways.
In their hands they shall bear you up, lest you dash your foot against a stone.
You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra, the young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot.
“Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him on high, because he has known My name. He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him.
I will be with him in trouble I will deliver him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him, and show him My Salvation.”

Psalm 23
מִזְמור לְדָוִד, ה׳ רֹעִי (תהילים כ”ג)
The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

NOT SURE That God has your 6?
YOU CAN BE..
SAY THE FOLLOWING FROM YOUR HEART RIGHT NOW…
Heavenly Father I come to you in the Name of Jesus/Yeshua asking for forgiveness of my sins for which I am truly sorry. I repent of them all and turn away from my past.
I believe with my heart and confess with my mouth that Jesus/Yeshua is your Son and that He died on the cross at calvary to pay the price for my sin, so that I might be forgiven and have eternal life in the kingdom of Heaven. Father I believe that Jesus/Yeshua rose from the dead and I ask you to come into my life right now and be my personal Savior and Lord and I will worship you all the days of my life. Because your word is truth I say that I am now forgiven and born again and by faith I am washed clean with the blood of Jesus/Yeshua. Thank you that you have accepted me into your family in Jesus’/Yeshua’s name. Amen.
