Hi Dave,
A beautiful hymn and extremely interesting, as Paul says it
is first century and composed in Aramaic.
I will study it. In order to search it for codes, a text would have to be available in its original language.
Let me know what you find.
This hymn should be invaluable on its merits as the earliest Christian hymn known , the poetic beauty of it and its obvious OT and NT scriptural allusion and quotation and the doctrinal statements made of a first century church.
I hope we will find an Aramaic source.
I particularly like the personal aspect of this hymn- like a personal testimony of salvation and walk with The Lord.It will speak to everyone who has had that new birth experience. Hallelujah !
I think portions of it would make a great Christmas gift !
Is that possible, or is it copyrighted ?
2 Corinthians 13:14 The peace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit, be with you all. Amen.
