Tau (A Translation of The Last Chapter of The Revelation of St. John)

 

1. Then they taught that the thriving taintless torrent, transparent, thunders through the Trinity's thrones. 

2. Toward the torrent, that tears through the thoroughfare, towered the thriving Tree that teems twelve times through the tide's turning. That tree's touch transforms the terrestrial tribes. 

3. Then the tribulation terminates: the throne throughout, their toilers take their toil.

4. They touch the Truth. They transcribe this ­­tag to their temples. 

5. There they transcend tenebrous twilight; the tallow's twinkling, the tanning torch transcended; Theos transilluminates the territory: their tenure timeless.

6. Then they told that these things tell true testimony. They that testify tell that this truly transpireth thereafter. 

7. Theos trekketh toward thee. Thou that tend toward this tome's transcriptions, take thy triumph.

8. These things transfixed this treasured testifier. Then this testifier thankfully touched the transcended teacher's toes.

9. Thereupon that teacher tactfully tabooed this-- that they, too, talebear, trust the tome's teachings, thank the Tetragrammaton.

10. They told to tell this tomes teachings, that the theomancy testifying time transpireth.

11. The traitor turns traitorous; the taint turns tainted; the truthful turns true; the taintless turns taintless.

12. Theos tendeth toward thee, to transact thy true testing.

13. The typeface's Tip to Tail, the Takeup to the Terminator, the Tally to the Total.

14. Thankworthy, they that trust those tablets of truth, they that taste the Tree. They transit through the threshold to the tabernacle.

15. The Tartarean taketh tailwaggers, terrible thaumaturges, transgressors, turncoats, those that tear the truth. 

16. The Truth transmitted these transfigurations to testify to thee these things throughout thy tabernacles. The Truth: the throne's taproot to twig, the twilight twinkling traveller.

17. The transcended, the tabernacle telleth thee to turn toward them. Teachers, too, tell to turn toward them. The thirsty turn towards them. These truly taste the thriving torrent.

18. Testify to those told this tome's testified truth: those that tacketh to these things total, this tome's terrors to thee tack.

19. Those that teareth this tome's truths, Theos tear thee, too. 

20. The Trinity testifieth these things, that They tendeth toward thee. 

21. The Truth's thoughtfulness turn toward thee. Truly.

[A translation of the last chapter of the last book of the Bible into words beginning with T. T (tav, tau) was the last letter of the Hebrew and Greek alphabet. (And is a lot easier to work with than O for Omega would be!) It carries the meaning of life and resurrection. From a midrash, the word אמת "truth" consists of the first, middle, and last letters of the Hebrew alphabet. This is, of course, a companion piece to Alpha]
