Truth encompasses all:

What is truth??

I was doing some research on the Hebrew word Truth and this is what I discovered:

“In Hebrew, the word for truth, emet, contains the first, middle and last letters of the Hebrew alphabet, which seems to suggest that truth contains everything from Aleph to Tav.


Since truth is all-encompassing, there is always a place for it to be practiced - there is literally no place or experience that is exempted from its presence - and therefore, there is always the demand to live in its light. Indeed, God Himself is called the Spirit of Truth (Ruach HaEmet) (John 14:17, 15:26, 16:13).”

It’s funny how God does this isn’t it? In Revelation 22:13, He says “"I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last,” (and I add in) and everything in between. He is truth.
