Double Mem
The double MemMem מם, like other Double letters in Hebrew, has significance greater than the single Mem. The Mem has a numerical value of 40 and as a word a value of 80 which is a double MEM. There are different levels that the meaning of Mem may be manifested. God parted the waters to create, which resulted in the upper and lower waters.
Amam AlefMemMem comes from a root often found in Semitic languages. In the Hebrew root the word has a double Mem, one open and one closed. The double Mem often seems to include the idea of visible and also hidden or concealed. It is part of the secrets or mysteries of life's dynamics because it refers to the flow of life in the visible physical world and the less visible quantum or spiritual world.
The Peculiar people of God are those who are intimate with God's revealed but other wise hidden knowledge. That knowledge comes by way of the Tree of life which is spiritual rather than the mere Tree of knowledge. This is the lack of that knowledge that brings destruction.
- Hosea 4:6 "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children."
The word "lack" is balah[1] which is about "a wearing out" or a "gradually withdrawal" like the creeping in we see in 2 Timothy 3:6 which is the result of a process of cause and effect, a gradual flow from one jurisdiction to another.
2 Timothy 3:6 "For of this sort are they which creep[2] into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,"
