Bible Note: Shalom Hank; Good point, sorry for my loose use of terms :-). In order to keep this simple, the Kabbalah is labeled as mysticism by those who do not understand Kabbalah. Read the book of Ezekiel this is Kabbalah, Kabbalah can also be found throughout the Bible including the New Testament, especially Paul’s teachings. The portion of Kabbalah that I am referring to is called the Tree of Life, or the ten sephirot. God manifests himself to his creation in ten ways, the top three are knowledge, wisdom and understanding, also called the crown (the son), the father, and the mother (btw, the Holy Spirit is feminine in Hebrew and represents the mother/counselor). These are called the godhead. Under these three are the other seven (the seven fold spirits). These are, judgement, love, beauty, glory, eternity, foundation and kingdom. Salvation. I belive that when the Bible speaks of salvation it is speaking of God’s deliverance of his people from oppression, troubles and enemies as well as deliverance from the wrath of God in the last day. The Hebrews were more concerned about today than they were with a life after death. Shalom Simchat Torah |
