Twin - didymos

Definition: Didumos (did'-oo-mos -> di'-dumos) Noun, Masculine - Hebrew word twin is ta'owm (twins) which sounds like "Tom." The Greek word didumos means "twin." Combining the Hebrew with the Greek ending = taowm-mos = Thomas. Then we have: tri-dumos (triple), tetra-dumos ( quadruple), hepta-dumos (seventuple); etc. Therefore Thomas = twin.

Diagram: The Sign of Thomas the "twin" looks just like Jesus but without his holy (white) and sun-like (gold) colors. In fact, I have drawn "the twelve" disciples when they are all together to look just like Thomas "the twin."

Jn 21:02a	There were likewise Simon Stone and Thomas, the one being called "twin" ...
Thomas	These are the secret sayings which the living Jesus spoke and which Didymos Judas Thomas wrote down.
