Hebrew isn't some sacred language that came from heaven, it evolved from other systems.
Some try and say the first sentence of Genesis has a secret code that's talking about the crucifixion and salvation of Jesus, and it sets people up for looking stupid when they are proven wrong, all that was made up and is pretty gnostic.
The Apostles, Jesus, and early Christian church were reading the OT Septuagint in Greek. The NT lists the name of Christ in Greek.
Nothing is wrong with studying OT scriptures in Hebrew but the obsession is dangerous and borders on judaizing idolatry.

Christianity isn't about cryptography and secret codes and secret meanings. the closest thing in it to anything approaching secrecy is that Jesus sometimes speaks in parables or broad strokes and you have to extrapolate what it means in practical life.
gnosticism however is all about The Flesh That Speculates or whatever the hell they came up with and secret codes are right up their silly esoteric alley.
Gnosticism is what modern judaism's true and final form is. Its all luciferian gobbledygook that is designed to drive its adherents into raving insanity while they think theyve unlocked the secrets of the universe.
Its a simple fact that when everyone was reading the Vulgate (which explicitly states the Christian Church is the proper continuation of the ancient Israelite Religion and provides cross references through all of its books to reinforce this truth), dispensationalism was not treated seriously by anyone. Only when the vulgate fell out of favor and other "translations" based on the (((masoretic text))) came into vogue due to the (((Reformation))) that dispensationalism gained a large following.
I doubt modern "Hebrew" is even close to Ancient Hebrew, which was a liturgical language and thus not even spoken by most of the Ancient Jews (who mostly spoke Aramaic).
The Vulgate also predates the modern (((jewish Old Testament))). The Vulgate was compiled before the (((Talmud))) was completed, meaning Catholicism already had established a formal literary canon before (((judaism))) even existed.

The obsession over Hebrew letters having some secret meaning is also Hebrew roots nonsense.
Dr. Heiser got into it and he references a video from Dr. Brown (I'm not a fan of Brown but his video is good on debunking this).

Not sure how affected this interpretation is by ancient Hebrew differing from modern Hebrew.
How is that Gnostic?
