We Might Have It Backwards In That God Embodies The Milta, Not The Milta Embodies God

I cannot imagine anyone in any language not knowing the first verse of John's Gospel in the King James Version (KJV):

"In the beginning was the Word,
And the Word was with God,
And the Word was God."

Doesn't everyone know that? A few might not know that the Greek word for 'Word' is logos. It is pretty clear to see that in the beginning the Word, the logos, was God.

Let's segue over to Vic Alexander's translation from the ancient Aramaic:

"In the beginning [of creation] there was the Manifestation* (Milta Aramaic: the essential connotation for a person or thing);
And that Manifestation (Milta) was with Allaha (God);
and Allaha (God) was [the embodiment of] that Manifestation (Milta)."

Do you see the difference? Logos, the Word, implies embodiment. In the Greek/King James Version, the logos is the embodiment of God. In the Aramaic, it seems to be the exact opposite: what we call God is the embodiment of the Milta. The Milta is the bigger piece of the pie. The whole thing, in fact. And that verb, God, is Its embodiment.

The Milta was The Beginning (brasheeth Aramaic: the Son before beginning). The Ineffable, by imagining, CREATED God (Its actions), the Heavens, and the Earth. And we might have been misreading the Bible up till now.
