The Cross Was Written Into the Alphabet
Hebrew reads right to left.
Greek reads left to right.

And who stands at the very center, where these two languages—and covenants—intersect?
Χριστός (Christos – "The Anointed One") The One whose very name begins with Chi (Χ)—a cross.
In Ezekiel 9:4, God commands a mark (the Hebrew letter Tav) to be written on the foreheads of the grieving and repentant. In ancient script, Tav looked like a cross (𐤕). It’s the last letter of the Hebrew alphabet—the end—and the very shape upon which the Law would be fulfilled.
The crucifixion was not a random method of execution. It was woven into the story, the symbols, the very letters.
And even the last three letters of the Greek alphabet echo the whole gospel story:
Chi (Χ) – The Cross
Psi (Ψ) – A man with arms outstretched
Omega (Ω) – The End
The Cross. The Christ. The Completion.
It is finished.
