Is it the first language of humankind ''Geez''


Geez the first language to ever be spoken

Two things are not clear about the coming of Geez these days. The two beliefs and stories that are still a debate, let me explain to you. The first one is acknowledged by many, and the thing it's believed that the Geez language is the language used for the human being (Adam) and the reason for that belief by many people is because the name itself Adam means that handsome creation or simply handsome and when you look at the meaning of Eve, Adam called the woman Eve, and it means the mother of all life and in Geez Eve is called 'Hewan' with the same meaning or very close that Adam gave to Eve which means the leaving life.

Another is that after Eve gave birth to 'Abel' and 'Kayel', we know that 'Kayel' killed his brother and Eve gave birth to another son whose name was 'Set' in Geez or Ethiopian language, and 'Set' means in Geez 'replaced' or 'my value' or I can make it simple to you it means that 'God gave me the son in place of Abel' in this context and because of that, most people believe it is the first language of humankind.

In Genesis 11:1 it says "the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech" the bible tells us all the people on earth used to speak the same language and when we try to understand or look for that one language, we can see that every language tells you the background of that language or the founders of that language except Geez. For instance, the English language we know it's from England and Latin language is from the Latins, and Portuguese is from Portugal you can name all the languages and you will be directed to the source except Geez it doesn't mean Ethiopians because Ethiopians have a different language and all lead to the users like 'Amharic' from Amhara's, 'Tigrigna' from Tigray, 'Oromo' from Oromos and so on.

The name Geez itself tells you that it means freedom, which is to remember the freedom giving God, it doesn't direct you to the founder's name. Now it's only or mostly spoken in Churches of Ethiopian Orthodox because with the coming of other religions to the country and considering it as a religious language its speakers decreased that it is on the verge of extinction but thanks to the Ethiopian Orthodox church all the priests, and preachers can speak the language perfectly and they always use it when preaching to the orthodox people. 

This Geez language is not only in words it has its own letters and numbers its own meaning for every letter and number, and this makes it so attractive because the letters and the numbers assigned to the language have religious meaning and now days only the elderly and the Ethiopian Orthodox preachers and monks are familiar to these lettering and numbering system

There are books that date from about the 1720s and it comes from Ethiopia, and the manuscripts written in Ethiopia it's the Gospels of Matthew and Mark written in an ancient language, and If you happen to see this old Ethiopian written book and see through if you can find different amazing images in it and you can also see Christ as a teacher and the disciples with him, everything written in Geez and ancient is you can probably say it's all religious and this and all above things I mentioned shows you or gives you thinking if Geez is really the first language of humankind.

The Bible wants us to be Rich: Here's Why

The Bible wants us to be Rich: Here's Why You will be poor, Jesus says, but your Father in heaven will make you rich. Many Christians don't understand what this means and why Jesus would say such a thing if he truly wanted us to be humble and poor. But the Bible does want us to be rich, not in terms of possessions but in terms of wisdom, peace, and purpose. Here's why that is, and how we can achieve it. We are created for success and satisfaction According to scripture, we are created for success and satisfaction. In Psalm 37:4, the bible says Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart. This is a powerful statement that is echoed throughout scripture. What this means is that God knows what we need and wants for us and has provided a way for us to get them! But it doesn't just stop there. If we continue reading in Psalms 37, verse 11 says, But the rich are hungry and thirsty; they will never have enough. The Bible clearly tells us that we...
