The entire Bible is written in a divine code — the Hebrew alphabet. Each letter is not merely a sound but a living symbol of consciousness and creation.
Tav (ת): The Final Seal
-
Numeric value: 400
-
Ancient shape: A simple cross or mark (×)
-
Symbolism: Completion, sealing, mark, signature
Tav is the final letter of the Hebrew alphabet. It represents the moment your inner assumption is fixed and steps into the world as fact — the culmination of the creative process.
In Neville Goddard’s terms, Tav is the moment when “assumption hardens into fact.” It is your personal “It is finished.”
Tav and the Number 40
Throughout the Bible, the number 40 is deeply symbolic of transformation, testing, and inner preparation:
-
40 days and nights of rain in Noah’s flood
-
40 years in the wilderness for Israel
-
40 days Moses spent on Mount Sinai
-
40 days Jesus fasted before beginning his ministry
In each of these, 40 represents an inner gestation period, a time of reshaping the mind and spirit before emerging into a new state of being.
When this period is complete, Tav appears as the seal. You move from wandering and imagining to fixing and manifesting. Tav is the final stamp of your completed inner work.
The Mark Symbolism: Tav’s Hidden Thread
Cain's Mark
After Cain kills Abel, God sets a mark on him (Genesis 4:15) — not as a punishment, but as a self-imposed identity — a mental “mark” that shapes all future experiences until consciously transformed.The Mark of the Beast (Revelation 13)
This mark is not a physical brand but a state of consciousness. Those who accept fear, limitation, or separation mark themselves inwardly, and this assumption becomes their experienced reality.
The Mark on the Foreheads (Ezekiel 9:4)
“Go through the city… and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and cry…”
Here, the mark (Tav) is a sign of missing the mark. To hit the mark is success in the law of Assumption, while missing the mark is associated with sin and self wounding. This symbolism begins in Genesis 4:4-7.
I see a cool wordplay here: in archery, “sin” is defined as missing the mark — a direct play on AIM, which is itself an anagram of I AM. This subtly reveals that our inner “I AM” — our chosen state of being — is what truly determines whether we hit or miss the mark in life.
The Ultimate Mark: The Cross
The ancient Tav was drawn as a cross — the universal symbol of completion and transformation.
Jesus’ crucifixion represents the ultimate Tav or mark. It is the final mark, the sealing of the divine identity in humanity. When Jesus declares, “It is finished,” He embodies the moment when he has overcome the wild beast-like nature of the mind with love, the resurrected assumption (salvation, union with God) is completely fixed and made manifest. The 'lion of Judah' is symbolism of assertion (lion) over the wild uncontrolled mind (beast) with love and praise (Judah). This dream-like pictorial-symbol imagery is portrayed in the four creatures of Ezekiel and Revelations.
Thus, the cross or rather 'mark' is not just an instrument of death but the ultimate sign of inner completion, the sealing of the divine imagination into visible expression.
Marking Your Inner World
You are always marking yourself with your assumptions — with your inner “I AM.”
-
Mark yourself with love, and you live love.
-
Mark yourself with wholeness, and your world mirrors it.
-
Mark yourself with fear, and you encounter limitation.
In each moment, you choose your Tav.
“Persist in the assumption until it feels natural. Then it must appear — for you have marked yourself with Tav.” — Neville Goddard
