THE SAPPHIRE

"The attainment begins from the hidden Torah, and only afterwards does one attain the remaining portions of the Torah, and only in the end does one attain the revealed Torah."

(The Vilna Gaon, The Siddur)

The Candlestick is a metaphor for the Seferiotic Tree of Life, is a way to expound on the nature of G-d. What does, seferot, mean? The term means to count. The "Sefirot" (

,(ספפריירו)ת singular "Sefirah" ,(ספפרייר)הה) literally means "counting"/"enumeration", but

early Kabbalists presented a number of other etymological possibilities from the same Hebrew root including: sefer (text), sippur (recounting a story), sappir (sapphire, brilliance, luminary), separ (boundary), and safra (scribe). The term Sefirah thus has complex connotations. The Sephirot are considered revelations of the Creator's Will ("ratzon"),and they should not be understood as ten different "gods" but as ten different ways the one G-d reveals his Will through the Emanations. The Sefiriot are not separate physical or spiritual entities. So just as G-d is not divided into three beings as the Christians teach, neither is He divided off into ten to 12 beings. Just as in the book of Hisgalus (Revelation) when it speaks of the ,”Seven Spirits of G-d,” it does not in any way imply that He is seven different beings. These are merely a way of expressing the will of G-d in a way that can be fathomed by our minds. The Sephirot are emanated from the Divine Will, because there are different levels within Keter, reflecting G-d's inner Will and outer Will. The innermost, hidden levels of Keter, also in some contexts called "The head/beginning that is not known",are united above the Sephirot with the Ein Sof(Divine essence). It is not G-d who changes but the ability to perceive G-d that changes. This difference between the “Ma Ohr" ("Luminary"-Divine essence) and the “Ohr" ("Light") He emanates is stressed in Kabbalah, so as to avoid heretical notions of any plurality in the Godhead. In its early 12th-century dissemination, Kabbalah received criticism from some Rabbis, who adhered to "Hakirah" (medieval Jewish Philosophy, for its alleged introduction of multiplicity into Jewish monotheism. The multiplicity of revealed emanations only applies from the perspective of the Creation, and not from the perspective of the infinite Divine essence. Another term that I like to use often for these are, “Crowns.” Why, because G-d is Crowned with many crowns and these speak metaphorically of the blessed nature of our Divine, Holy and only King. Once again, I do not endorse or practice modern Practical Kaballah with its incantations etc etc. That is a false doctrine and opposed to the Torah. This is not a lesson on magic! So if you are reading this in order to find some formula that will allow you to open Gates into the Spirit Reality on your own without the Ancient Holy One, blessed be He, you will not

find it here in any part of the Book of the Shining Path.

So why the Candlestick Analogy? This is comes from the use of the simple Gamatria of the beginning letters of the names of all ten actual Sefirot as well as the one implied seferot.

What I will do now is to diagram the Tree of Life and the Gamatria of each beginning letter

1. Kaf =20 כ Keter. Crown or Diadem. Begins with the letter כ)תר2. Bet = 2 ב Binah. Knowledge. Begins with the letter .בינה3. Het = 8 ח Chochmah. Wisdom. Begins with the letter .חכמה4. Dalet = 4 ד....Da'at. Understanding. Begins with the letter דע)ת5. ג... Strength, Power, Judgment. (Feminine form). Begins with the letter גבורה

Gimel = 3

6. Het = 8 ח Mercy,Kindness, Divine Love. Begins with the letter חסד7. Beauty. Begins with the letter תפאר)ת Tav = 400 ת8. Splendor and Magficence as well left leg of Prophecy. Begins with the הוד

letter ה Hey = 59. ,Truthfulness נצח perpetual strength and victory. Right leg of Prophecy.

Begins with the letter נ Nun =50Yud = 10 י Foundation. Begins with the letter יסוד.10 empire, kingdom, realm, reign, royal, material realm. Begins with the - מלכו)ת.11

letter מ Mem = 40 The sum total in the simple form of Gamatria for all of this is 553, which is the same as for the word,

H5043

נברשאnebresha'neb-reh-shaw'

(Chaldee); from an unused root meaning to shine; a light; plural (collectively) a chandelier: - candlestick.

In this we learn that the Tree of Life is akin to a candlestick. It is topped by fire which sheds light into tangible darkness, just as G-d does. Recall the concept of the Aleph and the Tav?.This is the path of the Primordial Light, and it is that which we follow. Not light as man sees light. Not light as man knows light. But the path of the Spirit of Wisdom, shining forth from the King of Kings, blessed be He. What say we now of the Light from the Divine Candlestick? We see it in Breshith (Genesis).

3 ור׃ י־או הרי ייפ ו ור וי י או י הרי ים יפ י להרי ר אל אמר אא י וי (WLC) 4 ך׃ שר חאו ין הי א ור ובי אי ין ה)ה א ים בי להריי ל אל י די בפ יי וב וי י־טו ור כרי אי )ת־ה)ה ים אר י להרי א אל רירפ יי וי

Gen 1:3 Then God said, "Let there be light"; and there was light. Gen 1:4 God saw that the light was good, and God divided the light from the darkness.

Now look at this; two words in verse four את־האור. (the light). This is a reference to the Messiah being the author of the primordial light. The light spoken of here is not the light

Page 5: The Candlestick

from the sun and stars, but the light of the Ein Sof emanating into creation. Where is

King Messiah in this? The two letters Aleph and Tav א)ת. In the book of Hisgalus

(Revelation) the Messiah says;

(HNT)אני האלף וה)תו הראש והסוף הראשון והאחרון׃

Rev 22:13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.(CJB)

The Greek letters here are the first and last letters in the Greek Alphabet. The Aleph and the Tav are the first and last letters of the Hebrew Aleph Bet; corresponding to the concept of an infinite being who is the first and the last. The beginning of creation as well as its end. So even though the word ET את. is translated as, “and,” it has the effect of announcing that the nature of the Messiah is no mere mortal. It says that His was the one whose spirit was present, allowing his Primordial Light to bath creation. He is both the Candlestick and the Primordial flame which tops it. Therefore it is written;

ם. ()תהילים לו׳ י׳) 4 ד)ה א)ה י ה)ה ני בפ אור לרי יו ה)ה ים ה)ה ירי חי הי ים ופ ירי יו חי ך5בו ה)ה חאשר הי ך ופ חאשר יר בי ארי אור מי ה)ה ופיגו. (ישעיהו ט׳ א׳ שרי אא הרי 1 (ל

Joh 1:4 In him was life, and the life was the light of mankind. Joh 1:5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not suppressed it. (CJB)

This is why Rabbi King Messiah declared that no one has sen the Father accept He who came from the Father, The Father is what we call, EIN SOF. Infinity. All of this is gleaned from just the simple form of the Gamatria of the Aytze Chayyim (Tree of Life)

Another term represented by 553 is, City of Destruction. ס רר הרי יר הי י This refers to a .ערי

passage in the Prophet Yeshayahu which reads;

(WLC) 18 ות וו א בא ה צב ה יהוא ות לי וו ע בא ן ובנששב עי ניע ת כב ה פי וות שב ר בב די ישם מב ריי צב ץ מש רץ ה אץ ים בב רשי ש עא משש יו חא וא ישהב הו ום הי וה י ביתת׃ חא אץ ר לב ו ס ישאמש רץ הץע יר הי ה עש

Isa 19:18 On that day there will be five cities in the land of Egypt that speak the language of Kena`an and swear loyalty to Adonai-Tzva'ot; one of them will be called the City of Destruction. [Hebrew `ir haheres, parodying `ir hacheres, "City of the Sun," i.e., Heliopolis]

Thus the number 553 is coded reference to the judgment of Egypt and the salvation in the latter days for Egypt which is made available by the Ancient Holy One, blessed be He. For it is written ;

Isa 19:19 On that day there will be an altar to Adonai in the middle of the land of Egypt, as well as a standing-stone for Adonai at its border. Isa 19:20 It will be a sign and witness to Adonai-Tzva'ot in the land of Egypt; so that when they cry out

to Adonai for help because of the oppressors, he will send them a savior to defend and rescue them. Isa 19:21 Adonai will make himself known to Egypt; on that day, the Egyptians will know Adonai.

They will worship him with sacrifices and offerings, they will make vows to Adonai and keep them. Isa 19:22 Yet Adonai will strike Egypt, both striking and healing, so they will return to Adonai. He will

listen to their prayers, and he will heal them. Isa 19:23 On that day there will be a highway from Egypt to Ashur. Ashur will come to Egypt and

Egypt to Ashur, and Egypt will worship with Ashur. Isa 19:24 On that day Isra'el will be a third partner with Egypt and Ashur, a blessing here on earth; Isa 19:25 for Adonai-Tzva'ot has blessed him: "Blessed be Egypt my people, Ashur the work of my

hands and Isra'el my heritage." (CJB)

As well it is written,

א׃ ו נ)ה ל קי י וא אי ה הו י ל)ה ש אאכפ א יך אי להרי יה אל הו)ה י יפ י כרי

Deu 4:24 For Adonai your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God. (CJB)

Concerning those who reject the Covenant and are Sons of Darkness it was written by Rabban saying;

Heb 12:25 See that you don't reject the One speaking! For if those did not escape who rejected him when he gave divine warning on earth, think how much less we will escape if we turn away from him when he warns from heaven.

Heb 12:26 Even then, his voice shook the earth; but now, he has made this promise: "One more time I will shake not only the earth, but heaven too!"

Heb 12:27 And this phrase, "one more time," makes clear that the things shaken are removed, since they are created things, so that the things not shaken may remain.

Heb 12:28 Therefore, since we have received an unshakeable Kingdom, let us have grace, through which we may offer service that will please God, with reverence and fear.

Heb 12:29 For indeed, "Our God is a consuming fire!" (CJB)

Thus we glean a great deal of deeper insight by the simple Gamatria and the number 553 which we gleaned from the beginning letters of the names of each Crown in the tree of life. It has well revealed to us relevant items in Prophecy and extremely relevant concepts concerning the nature of G-d.

Now let us see what we learn regarding each of the Sefiriot.

כ)תר

Keter. Crown or Diadem. Begins with the letter כ Kaf =20

This refers to the infinite nature of G-d. King of Kings on a level beyond intellect. This is the infinite. He is so infinite that all the ideas that we have of Him were created by Him. Rabban Yeshua declared;

Joh 6:45 It is written in the Prophets, 'They will all be taught by Adonai.' Everyone who listens to the Father and learns from him comes to me. Joh 6:46 Not that anyone has seen the Father except the one who is from God — he has seen the

Father. Joh 6:47 Yes, indeed! I tell you, whoever trusts has eternal life: (CJB)

No human can stand in the glory of the Everlasting Father. This is the part of Him that, were it able to be known, YHVH would not be G-d. Therefore it is written;

(WLC) Exo 33:18 But Moshe said, "I beg you to show me your glory!" Exo 33:19 He replied, "I will cause all my goodness to pass before you, and in your presence I will

pronounce the name of Adonai. Moreover, I show favor to whomever I will, and I display mercy to whomever I will.

Exo 33:20 But my face," he continued, "you cannot see, because a human being cannot look at me and remain alive.

Exo 33:21 Here," he said, "is a place near me; stand on the rock. Exo 33:22 When my glory passes by, I will put you inside a crevice in the rock and cover you with my

hand, until I have passed by. Exo 33:23 Then I will remove my hand, and you will see my back, but my face is not to be seen." (CJB)

But the wonderful thing is, is that Rabbi King Messiah came in order to show us the face of Himself, who while as Ein Sof Moses could not see; and yet taking a small part of the glory of the Ein Sof as well as all the other Knowable Crowns of the Ancient Holy One; The Everlasting Father El Gibor clothed this small part of His glory in a human form. Doing this allows us to behold that which Moses in his day could not. Therefore is is written;

יו, 14 ברי י א)ה ני פפ לרי יד מרי חרי ן י)ה בוד בי בודו, כפ )ת כפ ינו אר ארי נו ר)ה חפ ני אצ נו; וי )תוכי ן בפ כי ש)ה ר ופ ש)ה ה ב)ה י)ה הפ ר נרי ב)ה ד)ה הי)ת. (ישעיהו ס׳ א׳//מו׳ יג׳//)תהילים פה׳ יא׳ מר אל ד ור סר א חר לי 4 (מ)ה

Joh 1:14 The Word became a human being and lived with us, and we saw his Sh'khinah, the Sh'khinah of the Father's only Son, full of grace and truth. (CJB)

The Gamatria for the letter Kaf is 20. In the act of creation there were ten utterances by G-d which combine with the Ten Commandments adding up to twenty. From these twenty we find that the natural is supported by the supernatural and all is submission to the Divine Father.

.בינה Binah. Knowledge. Begins with the letter ב Bet = 2

This Crown introduces into creation the idea of duality. It is the symbol for the number two. We see embodied in the letter Bet, two spiritual garments created for the soul;

1. The Physical Body2. The Light of Knowledge.(garment of the Rabban. Zohar I: 264a)

4 ha-Berit ha-hadashah. 2000 (Jn 1:13–14). Israel: The Bible Society in Israel.

The Letter Bet refers to a house and thus we learn that this Crown, Binah is the House

of Understanding The letter Bet is the first letter of berakah ברכה Blessing. We use it

every time we bles our LORD and with it the Ancient of Days began his creation of the Multiverse for it is written;

Joh 1:5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not suppressed it.

.חכמהChochmah. Wisdom. Begins with the letter ח Het = 8

This is the great and holy wisdom. Wisdom of Eternal Life and is in that transcendent level; level beyond intellect; soul-mate of Binah. It is represented by the letter Het, whose Gamatria is eight. Eight is prophetic and stands for the new age which shall follow this one. The age of the new creation; age of the8 th day; made known to us in the deeper understanding of the festival of Sukkot. Sukkot last seven days, but is then followed by an eighth day celebration, Shemini Atzeret. Eight is the number of the Covenant between G-d and Israel, symbolized by Brit Milah (circumcision) . As well

there are eight strands of thread from which we tie the Tzit Tzit (Fringes) on our prayer garments. G-d's covenant with us is o0ne of mercy and so 8 is the number of divine mercy. Here in this context as well 8 is the number of divine wisdom. For it is written of the transcendent Holy wisdom saying;

Pro 8:25 I was brought forth before the hills, before the mountains had settled in place; Pro 8:26 he had not yet made the earth, the fields, or even the earth's first grains of dust. Pro 8:27 When he established the heavens, I was there. When he drew the horizon's circle on the deep, Pro 8:28 when he set the skies above in place, when the fountains of the deep poured forth, Pro 8:29 when he prescribed boundaries for the sea, so that its water would not transgress his command, when he marked out the foundations of the earth, Pro 8:30 I was with him as someone he could trust. For me, every day was pure delight, as I played in his presence all the time, Pro 8:31 playing everywhere on his earth, and delighting to be with humankind. (CJB)

דע)תDa'at. Understanding. Begins with the letter....ד Dalet = 4

Now we see that a Gate has been created. This is the Gateway or the Doorway of Knowledge, represented by the letter, Dalet. It is through this Gateway that G-d;s creative power flowed downward in the process described in both Genesis and in the last chapters of the Book of Iyov (Job). The shape of this letter and its Gamatria of four represent two sets of four things involving the physical realm;

Set One. The four basic elements from which all else known to science either flows from or is a part of.

1. Fire = Energy and Time.2. Air = Gas and Plasma (Electrified or charged gases)3. Water = Liquids of any chemical composition4. Earth = Solids of any chemical composition.

Rabbizine Zakarah, wife of Rabbi Moshe ben Yochanan of blessed memory said the following concerning this creative process;

Tangible darkness, equal density in mass, everywhere and then as light began to appear, I saw particles of red mineral, yellow fire, blue water scatter equally; color began mixing in different amounts gathering together to form images.

Set Two. Direction. Without direction there is no framework or setting in which the Universes can exist. They are the four cardinal directions which give rise to all others/

1. North2. South3. East

4. West.

Direction is most directly felt on the surface of any planet, but extends throughout all of the Universes. It is through this high and lofty Gate of Knowledge through which all our concepts of who G-d is flows, This is why it is written;

וד׃ בו כ)ה ך הי לר י וא מר בו י)ה ת ם ופ ו י עול)ה י חי )תפ או פרי שפ נ)ה הרי ונ ם ופ יכרו אשי ו ים ׀ ר)ה ה ררי ע)ה ו שפ אה שפ

(WLC) Psa 24:7 Lift up your heads, you gates! Lift them up, everlasting doors, so that the glorious king can enter! Psa 24:8 Who is he, this glorious king? Adonai, strong and mighty, Adonai, mighty in battle. Psa 24:9 Lift up your heads, you gates! Lift them up, everlasting doors, so that the glorious king can

enter! Psa 24:10 Who is he, this glorious king? Adonai-Tzva'ot - he is the glorious king. (Selah) (CJB)

This is that Beautiful Gate and the Everlasting Door of Knowledge. Once through it, one ascends to the Merkavah and worships before the Glorious King.

גבורה Strength, Power, Judgment. (Feminine form). Begins with the letter ...ג Gimel = 3

Gevurah. This is a side of the Ancient Holy One, blessed be He, that should always be an example to mankind. The Gamatria of the letter Gimel is three. This teaches us that the judgments of G-d are a sign of completeness. The beginning, middle and end of all judgment and power. He who Was, Is, and Is to Come. Righteous Judgment reaches us through the Gate of Knowledge. What did El Shaddai reveal through His Prophets?

(WLC) רו׃ שאו ט י)ה א פ)ה שפ מרי ים לפ י ררי ש)ה ך ולפ לר ו ך־מר ל)ה מפ ק ירי דר י צר ן לפ א הי

This is the declaration, the lesson, and the example, hence 3 in the gamatria once again. What of those who in human realms and governments do not model themselves after the Gimel and three? Of them it is written;

Isa 10:1 Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write grievousness which they have prescribed; Isa 10:2 To turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take away the right from the poor of my

people, that widows may be their prey, and that they may rob the fatherless! Isa 10:3 And what will ye do in the day of visitation, and in the desolation which shall come from far?

to whom will ye flee for help? and where will ye leave your glory? Isa 10:4 Without me they shall bow down under the prisoners, and they shall fall under the slain. For

all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still. (KJV)

His judgments are absolute and complete. The Ancient of days, blessed be He cannot be bribed and it doesn't matter how rich or poor a person is; G-d is fair.

Rev 20:11 Next I saw a great white throne and the One sitting on it. Earth and heaven fled from his presence, and no place was found for them. Rev 20:12 And I saw the dead, both great and small, standing in front of the throne. Books were

opened; and another book was opened, the Book of Life; and the dead were judged from what was written in the books, according to what they had done.

Rev 20:13 The sea gave up the dead in it; and Death and Sh'ol gave up the dead in them; and they were judged, each according to what he had done.

But He is also faithful and just to forgive the repentant sinner. The Zohar teaches that no decree of judgment over comes repentance. Therefore it was spoken by Rabbi King Messiah saying;

Mat 10:32 "Whoever acknowledges me in the presence of others I will also acknowledge in the presence of my Father in heaven. (CJB)

חסדMercy,Kindness, Divine Love. Begins with the letter ח Het = 8

Chesed. We saw that G-d's judgments have the gamatria of 8, but so does his aspect of divine mercy and love. This is the counterbalance to Gevurah. As we saw that his covenants are pictured by the number 8, so is his divine love, for it is the completion and fulfillment of all. This is why it is symbolized by Sukkot and Shemini Atzeret. These are symbols of divine love. Well it is written of divine love saying;

Joh 3:14 Just as Moshe lifted up the serpent in the desert, so must the Son of Man be lifted up; Joh 3:15 so that everyone who trusts in him may have eternal life. Joh 3:16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his only and unique Son, so that everyone who

trusts in him may have eternal life, instead of being utterly destroyed. Joh 3:17 For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but rather so that through

him, the world might be saved. (CJB)

Beauty. Begins with the letter Tav = 400 ת

Tif'eret is the Hebrew word for beauty. Tif'eret, through the channels shown in the diagram, unites all of the nine Sephiroth. Tif'eret is also the offspring of Chochmah and Binah and is birthed through the doorway, or the womb of Da'at.. Adonai, and YHVH names of God associated with Tif'eret. As well this the the Spirit of Rabbi King Messiah which is flowing downward to the lower Crowns into Malchut, where he is the physical embodiment of the Ancient of Days. For it is written;

The gamatria we have is 400. What insights does this provide? This is also the gamatria of the word Maskeel.

H4905

משכילmaskııylmas-keel'

From H7919; instructive, that is, a didactic poem: - Maschil.

This teaches us that the Messiah uses the method of instructive didactic poems to teach us and instruct us. This is part of the beauty of the lord. It is through the letter Tav that he places His mark upon the Sons of Light. First upon our forehead, representing our minds. Second upon our left hands, symbolizing that the work and the actions of our hands must me holy and in accord with His Torah. This is taught in Zohar I in the story where all the letters come before the Ancient Holy One, blessed be He, asking that He use them in the first utterances of creation.

When the Creator thought to create the world, all the letters of the alphabet came to Him in reverse order from last (Tav) to first (Aleph). The letter Ta entered first and said, “Master of the world! It is good, and also seemly of You, to create the world with me, with my properties. For I am the seal on Your ring, called EmeT (truth), that ends with the letter. Tav And that is why You are called truth, and why it would befit the King to begin the universe with the letter Tav, and to create the world by her, by her properties.

The Creator answered: “You are beautiful and sincere, but do not merit the world that I conceived to be created by your properties, since you are destined to be marked on the foreheads of the truly faithful who fulfill all of Torah from Aleph to Tav (from the first letter to the last), and perished because of you” (Talmud Bavli, Shabbat, 55) [Zohar I, Daniel Matt,Pritzker Addition, Stanford University Press, 2010)

First to ask was the letter Tav. Her request is denied. The LORD tells her the reasons, and that one of them was to be that she was going to be used to mark his servants on

their foreheads and in their left hands. Thus was prophesied concerning the laying of Teffillin. This is the plural form of Tefillah.

H8605

תפלהtephillahtef-il-law'

From H6419; intercession, supplication; by implication a hymn: - prayer.

It is written in the Torah;

ך׃ ו בר ב)ה ל־לפ ום עי יי ךי הי ופ צי י מפ ר נאכרי ר א)ה שרה ה אצ לר איו ים ה)ה י ררי ב)ה דפ ו הי יה ה)ה ופ

Deu 6:6 These words, which I am ordering you today, are to be on your heart; Deu 6:7 and you are to teach them carefully to your children. You are to talk about them when you sit

at home, when you are traveling on the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Deu 6:8 Tie them on your hand as a sign, put them at the front of a headband around

your forehead, Deu 6:9 and write them on the door-frames of your house and on your gates.

The Teffillin are dawned each morning as a physical enactment of a spiritual principle. If one is not already marked with the Spiritual Tav, the physical act is purely a legalistic act and one has missed the deeper meaning of why the commandment in the Torah was given in the first place. Jewish tradition restricts this to Jewish men; but I find no place in the Torah itself where woman cannot either dawn Tefillin or wear Tzit Tzit. The Spiritual reasons are found in in the Book of Hisgalus (Revelation) in several places. These passages show us that those whose Souls have the Spiritual Teffillin are shielded from Divine Negative Judgment. It is written.

Rev 22:1 Next the angel showed me the river of the water of life, sparkling like crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb. Rev 22:2 Between the main street and the river was the Tree of Life producing twelve kinds of fruit, a

different kind every month; and the leaves of the tree were for healing the nations —Rev 22:3 no longer will there be any curses. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and

his servants will worship him; Rev 22:4 they will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads.

Tiferet is the the embodiment of all our concepts of Beauty. A Holy Beauty. Not of pure carnality. He gave a husband the concept of Holy Beauty, which he, if he is a Tzaddeck marked with Tav, see in his wife, as well as she in him. Through their love for one another, they place the Tav upon each other in sacredness, marking one another. Then

Rev 1:10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, Rev 1:11 Saying, I am Aleph and Tav, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book,

and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.

Rev 1:12 And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks; (KJV with Rabbi ben Ya'ocov's rendering)

Note. Most translation of this verse use the Greek alphabet. The words Alpha and Omega. This cause the significance of what Rabbi King Messiah is saying to be lost. Thus in my own rendering of the verse, I have restored the Hebrew Aleph-Bet to the translation. )

A few years ago I received this from Mrs. Dorothy Meyers-Blevins of Coeur d' Alene, Idaho. I felt that it would be a great addition to this esoteric lesson.

The 4th word Alef Tav – ET is the first and the last.......the alpha and the omega. Who said they were the, alpha and the omega in a Greek translation or Alef Tav in Hebrew? It holds all the letters of the Hebrew Alef bet in between the first and last letter.

הוד

Splendor Magficence and left leg of Prophecy. Begins with the letter ה Hey = 5 Hod. This Crown represents the left side of Prophecy. This refers to Prophecy in the negative and judgmental sense. Doomsday, suffering and judgment as a result of sin. This left side, when untempered and unbalanced by the positive aspects on the right side of the Tree of Life produce negative things like the Angel of Darkness. He is from this side of creation. He was created as an Adversary as we have already learned. This side represents the yetzer ha ra, which if allowed to rage out of control with a person, produces wicked sociopaths like the person who massacred the 20 innocent children at Sandy Hook Elementary School on Dec 14, 2012 in Newtown, Connecticut. Worse yet people like Saddam Hussein and Pol Pot; on a lesser level the school yard bullies. But this Crown does not imply that G-d is possessed of a Yetzer ha Ra. Heaven forbid; no this is intended as an example of Hod when it is unbridled within the nature of The Sons of Darkness and within the Angel of Darkness himself.

The gamatria of the letter ה Hey = 5. There are five levels of the human soul;

1. Nefesh2. Ruach3. Neshamah4. Chayah5. Yechidah.

:The five terms Scripture uses to refer to man’s soul; each denotes a different gradation of the soul — in ascending order from Nefesh to Yechidah: Nefesh is the basic life-force or natural soul in general, and specifically relates to the soul’s basic or external manifestations in terms of the faculties of thought, speech and action. Ruach (Spirit) and Neshamah (Soul, Breath) are the spiritual life-force in man, relating to the Middot and Mochin respectively. Chayah (Living), often also referred to as Neshamah leNeshamah (Soul of the Soul), is the sublime root for the lower three grades. Yechidah (Only One; Unique) is the quintessence, the Divine spark as it were, the ultimate source of the soul — compounding yet transcending the lower grades. The higher grades of the soul are latently presenting the Nefesh, in proportionally increasing concealment, but it will become ever more manifest — to the point of conscious awareness — by man’s continuous self-improvement and spiritual ascent. (www.chabad.org)

There are as well five garments of the soul. These are philosophical garments, as opposed to actual clothing. But when thought of as garments, these ideas take on a whole new and greater meaning. These things reveal to us the inner nature of our spirits. Are we following our yetzer a tov or our yetzer ha ra?

1. Thought. This garment consists of two items;Imaginativemeditative

2. Speech. This garment as well consists of two itemsWords from the heartWords from the Lips.

3. Action. This garment has no subdivision in this context. You either are doing something with what Hashem has given you or you are not.

Rabbi King Messiah was perfect in all the garments of the soul, and if we model our lives after his precepts, we are truly Sons of Light. Our thought patterns will be righteous and our meditative thoughts will thus be empowered to allow us to move forward to the Beautiful Gate. When we speak, our heart will be pure, thus the words from our lips will reflect that which is in our hearts. Thus our actions will be righteous deeds of Torah and not born of the path of darkness and the yetzer ha ra.

The gematria of the letter hey, which is five, links it to another Hebrew word which I find to be quite intriguing in this context.

H108

אד'edade

From the same as H181 (in the sense of enveloping); a fog: - mist, vapor.

This is very representative of the Spirit realm which was created by G-d. The world of Angels and the like. But it also reminds me of what Rabban Yeshua said concerning the Spirit of G-d. He revealed mysteries to Rabbi Nakdimon shel P'rushim. (Rabbi Nicodemus of the Pharisees).

ה 8 א)ה יא ב)ה ן הרי ירי אי עי מי ך יודי ינפ ך אי , אי עי ה שומי ת)ה ה אי )ת קול)ה אר ה ופ יא רוצ)ה הרי ן שר יכ)ה )ת הי בר רוחי נושר ה)ה.״ (קוהל)ת יא׳ ה׳ רוחי ן ה)ה ד מרי נול)ה י שר ל מרי ך כ)ה )ת. כ)ה כר יא הולר ן הרי א)ה 16 (ולפ

Joh 3:8 The wind blows where it wants to, and you hear its sound, but you don't know where it comes from or where it's going. That's how it is with everyone who has been born from the Spirit."

Rabban Yeshua reveals here that the Sons of Light have a destiny beyond all we can no imagine. The implications of being born of the Spirit is this; that we will not just see the Beautiful Gate, but we will traverse the Shining path into the Merkavah. That in the Olam Haba, we will be able to transcend time and space and go on journeys across the Universe and indeed experience other dimensions, by pure thought. Instant travel to as yet unfathomed spaces. Blessed are those who have been born of the Spirit, for they are the Sons of Light. (Sons of Light in all contexts that I speak of include both men and women).

נצחTruthfulness, perpetual strength and victory. Right leg of Prophecy. Begins with the letter נ Nun =50

Netsah. This Crown is the character of G-d that is the counterbalance of Hod. This

represents total truth. It shows that total truth is strong and victorious. It represent the positive nature of Prophecy. Prophecies, not of doom and gloom, but those wonderful and positive things which the Sons of Light will experience in the Olam Haba.

It begins with the letter Nun, which has the value of fifty. What else has the value of fifty?

H127

אדמה'adamahad-aw-maw'

From H119; soil (from its general redness): - country, earth, ground, husband [-man] (-ry), land.

From this word for earth comes the name of the very first man. His physical aspects made from the same elements as the soil of the planet. Carbon atoms (intentional pun here, atoms). We can see that Nun therefore is like a vessel for G-d's blessing and which channels into the first man as the conception of his life-force.

. The also represents the 50 gates of understanding spoken of in the Talmud;

R. Johanan said: The Holy One, blessed be He, causes His Divine Presence to rest only upon him who is strong, wealthy, wise and meek; [1] and all these [qualifications] are deduced from Moses. Strong, for it is written, And he spread abroad the tent over the tabernacle; [2] and a Master said, Moses our teacher spread it; and it is also written, Ten cubits shall be the length of the board. [3] Yet perhaps it was long and thin? [4} — But [it is derived] from this verse: And I took the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and broke them.[5] Now, it was taught: The tables [sic, tables] were six [hand breadths] in length, six in breadth, and three in thickness. [6] Wealthy, [as it is written] Hew thee, [interpreted] the chips be thine. Wise: for Rav and Samuel both said, Fifty gates of understanding were created in the world, and all but one were given to Moses, for it is said, For thou hast made him [ Moses] a little lower than G-d. [7] Meek, for it is written, Now the man Moses was very meek. [8]I

This seems a strange and cryptic saying. Connecting fifty chips from the second set of Stone Tablets, upon which G-d wrote the Ten Words, with 50 gates of wisdom. Rabbi Aaron L. Raskin explains it the following way;

The gamatria of nun is fifty. There are fifty 'gates” or levels of Binah, understanding. That's why the Jews counted forty – nine days – seven complete weeks from Passover to Shavuos – to ready themselves to receive the Torah. The famous question is, why does the Torah tell us to

25 Bet Doresh Messianic Jewish Ministries of New Mexico

Page 26: The Candlestick

count fifty days after Passover, when immediately afterwards it says to count seven complete weeks, which are forty – nine days? The answer is that an individual can only obtain forty – nine levels of intellect on his own. The fiftieth level, that of transcendence, can only be provided by G-d. Therefore G-d says: You do yours and I will do mine. If you achieve the forty – ninth level, I will bless you with the fiftieth; the highest level of Binah, understanding. (Letters of Light. Rabbi Aaron L. Raskin, Sichos In English)

There is a sign here of something much deeper. I believe that only those who have achieved the Merkavah have been given that 50th level. This seems to be ties into the year of Jubilee, or Yovel. This is a 49 year cycle, with the 50 the being the year when all the captives are set free. All that has been taken is now restored. This the Fiftieth level of understanding is the level of Jubilee and thus the level of freedom which causes our minds to transcend the limits of the Space-Time Continuum. The first levels of intellect involve the basic and mundane matters. They then move into the levels of Torah understanding and continue upwards into Spiritual Manifestations and beyond. I do not have a list of these, one by one, but they are gates which you will know you have past, as the Ruach Ha Kodesh gives you knowledge and wisdom.

What else has the same gamatria?

H4291

מטא meta' metahmet-aw', met-aw'

(Chaldee); apparently corresponding to H4672 in the intransitive sense of being found present; to arrive, extend or happen: - come, reach.

This shows us that the mysteries of the Ancient Holy One, blessed be He, are there for us to find. We can make them present in our lives as we strive to arrive, and to reach for the goal of the Shining Path. With our diligence of progression up through each of the 50 gates of Understanding, it will happen. Just let it all be through the guide and instruction of Rabban Yeshua, our Rabbi King and Messiah.

יסוד

Foundation. Begins with the letter י Yud = 10

Yesod. Foundation. This is the point where the Spiritual begins to materialize into the

26 Bet Doresh Messianic Jewish Ministries of New Mexico

Page 27: The Candlestick

physical realm. This is also known as Shekinah and it is the Aspect of G-d, just above his physical manifestation, that was seen by the Patriarch and Moses. It was the Cloud of Glory that revealed the Torah at Mount Sinai. As well this is also the presence of the Ancient Holy One, blessed be the Name, that was present in the Holy Of Holies in both the Mishkan (Tabernacle) and the Temple of Solomon. It however was not present in the 2nd Temple and the only time that the Glory of YHVH was in that Sanctuary was when Rabban Yeshua entered into it. There were few that recognized Him because the Angel of Darkness had twisted their concept of the nature of the messiah.

Yesod is also representative of the Torah. Because the Torah is our foundational document, descending from the mind of the Ancient Holy One, blessed be He. Without that which comes from his mind, which is the all encompassing Zero-Point Energy, which holds all things together, we would cease to exists. So in the context I speak here, Torah is anything from the mind of G-d and is thus Yesod,

Now I am going to teach something that many cannot except. Shekina is the Female aspect of G-d. No G-d is not a goddess or a woman. But nor is he a man, even though one of his knowable aspects was to come to earth in the body of a man. The reason for this was to model the order of the family, which He had established at Gan Eden. G-d is the head over man; man is the head over the wife; both are head over the children. Just as man is not G-d's slave, but created as a free being, neither is the wife the slave of the husband; nor the Children the slaves of the parents. Not being slaves however, does not mean that authority does not exist, or is not to be obeyed. For it is written

י 15 וו)תי צפ )ת מרי רו אר מפ שפ תרי י שר רי י, הצ ים או)תרי ברי ם אוהצ תר ם אי 17 .״ארי

Joh 14:15 "If you love me, you will keep my commands;

G-d is the author of both Fatherhood and Motherhood. This nurturing, feminine and compassionate nature of G-d is Shekinah, and is the Glory of YHVH made manifest. This is why Yesod comes directly from Tiferet, which is beauty. G-d is the author and the creature of feminine beauty as well as male masculinity. It is from the attraction of the masculine male to the beauty of the female, upon whose marriage and union are created children. This is just as the One G-d, with all his attributes united, created the heaven and the earth and all that is in them. There was no separate god and goddess uniting and no such concepts is suggested or implied. What we are trying to explain is the unexplainable, which is the nature G-d.

The first letter in Yesod is the Yud. It י has the value of ten. There are ten

comandments which form the basis of all Jewish biblical law and talmudic law (halachah). As well there are ten ways in which the Holy Spiritn blessed be He, manifests teachings to us.

1. Proverbs2. Tongues3. Riddle4. Saying5. Oracle6. Glory7. Decree8. Burden9. Prophecy10.Vision

Some of these are actually Spiritual Manifestation, which I have covered extensively in this book already and so there is no need to go over that ground again.

The gamatria of Yod = 10. A word which matches this is Gabah.

H1361

גבהgabahhgaw-bah'

A primitive root; to soar, that is, be lofty; figuratively to be haughty: - exalt, be haughty, be (make) high (-er), lift up, mount up, be proud, raise up great height, upward.

This speaks of Yesod (Shekinah) for it is written;

וחי 15 ל־רי פי א ושפ כ)ה )ת־די אר ון ופ כו שפ וש אר די ק)ה ום ופ רא ו מ)ה מי וש שפ די ק)ה ד ופ ן עי א א שאכי ש)הו נרי ם ופ י ר ר)ה מיי ה א)ה י כאה כריים׃ ו ארי כ)ה דפ ב נרי א ו)ת לי יי חצ הי לפ ים וו לריי פ)ה וחי שפ יו)ת רי חצ הי לפ

(WLC) Isa 57:15 For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones. (KJV)

And of Rabbi King Messiah, the embodiment of Shekinah/Yesod it is written;

human and simply no longer looked like a man, Isa 52:15 so now he will startle many nations; because of him, kings will be speechless. For they will

see what they had not been told, they will ponder things they had never heard." (CJB)

Thus all of the power of the Ein Sof, of Infinity has flowed down through all creative processes, to the point where he himself has entered Time and Space as the Son, meaning that his body is the Son of his own Spirit, and Mother, which are Rabbi King Messiah and Shekinah respectively. Amazing and wonderful.

Empire, kingdom, realm, reign, royal, material realm. Begins with the letter מ Mem = 40

Malchut. This is the final seferot and one of the things that is represents is the physical universe. It is not merely our planet earth, but it represents the entire cosmos. Shekinah / Yesod being the feminine aspect of G-d, can be said to be the womb from which was born all in creation that is material and physical.

This word begins with the letter Mem which =40. This letter represents the waters of creation as well as the Spiritual waters of Torah. In the beginning, all the planet on which we lived was covered with water. Thus the Ancient Holy One, blessed be He, surrounded it like as it were, an infant in the womb, growing in the protective waters of the mother's womb. For it is written;

Gen 1:2 The earth was unformed and void, darkness was on the face of the deep, and the Spirit of God hovered over the surface of the water. (CJB)

All things new begin with a Mikveh. Under the ancient measuring system, the mikveh had to have at least 40 se'ahs of water. This amount is equal to gamatria of the letter Mem which is 40. Mikveh is the symbol of the transformation from impurity to purity and from chaos to order; just as the Ancient Holy One, blessed be He, transformed the universe of Genesis from disorder to order.

Mem is also the first letter in the word, Mochiach, Messiah, or Anointed One. Messiah is returning to that which he created. The material realm is His Physical Kingdom and Rabbi King Messiah is it's physical King. It is written

Every realm has a ruler and when these days come, the material realm of Malchut will receive it's Melchizedek (King of Righteousness). I could speak more on the make up and nature of Malchut but that would entail a vast lesson on science and astro physics which is not the point of this book. Suffice is to say, that because of the 2nd law of thermodynamics, entropy, which was introduced with sin at the fall in Gan Eden, all of creation is winding down like a clock. It will take the return of Melchizedek to wind it back up again.

From Heaven to Earth through the Womb of Creation.

Now I want to show you something glorious. The symbolism embodied in the letter Mem are truly great and I want to show you one which I think is absolutely fantastic.

מThe top left side of this letter begins with a yud י. This is the first letter in the sacred

name of G-d, יהוה and is above the rest of the letter which symbolizes both heaven and

physical creation. The top of each Hebrew letter represents what is known as the ,”Heaven Line,” and the bottom of each Hebrew letter represents physicality and is known as the “Earth Line.” The Ancient Holy One, blessed is He, started out in Heaven as Ein Sof and descended through the fabric of the Space-Time Continuum. This fabric is known as Plank Length or Nuclear String and all creation rests upon it, as it is written;

Psa 104:1 Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty. Psa 104:2 Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:

The Spirit of the Lord descended into creation and was with us only a short time and then returned for it is written;

Act 1:6 When they were together, they asked him, "Lord, are you at this time going to restore self-rule to Isra'el?" Act 1:7 He answered, "You don't need to know the dates or the times; the Father has kept these under his own authority. Act 1:8 But you will receive power when the Ruach Hakodesh comes upon you; you will be my witnesses both in Yerushalayim and in all Y'hudah and Shomron, indeed to the ends of the earth!" Act 1:9 After saying this, he was taken up before their eyes; and a cloud hid him from their sight.

Just as the left leg of the Mem comes down to a point and touches the earth line for only

Acts 1:10 As they were staring into the sky after him, suddenly they saw two men dressed in white standing next to them. Acts 1:11 The men said, "You Galileans! Why are you standing, staring into space? This Yeshua, who has been taken away from you into heaven, will come back to you in just the same way as you saw him go into heaven."

We see this in the way the letter is shaped. He shall again come into His creation, but not in the same manner as he did the first time. He will not come in as an infant or as the Suffering Mochiach ben Yosef. The shape of the letter shows that when He returns He will appear in the sky and then descend from our of the Beautiful Gate and touch the earth for it is written;

Zec 14:4 On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, which lies to the east of Yerushalayim; and the Mount of Olives will be split in half from east to west, to make a huge valley. Half of the mountain will move toward the north, and half of it toward the south.

Rabbi Yochanan saw that day in his Great Visions for it is written;

Rev 19:11 Next I saw heaven opened, and there before me was a white horse. Sitting on it was the one called Faithful and True, and it is in righteousness that he passes judgment and goes to battle. Rev 19:12 His eyes were like a fiery flame, and on his head were many royal crowns. And he had a name written which no one knew but himself. Rev 19:13 He was wearing a robe that had been soaked in blood, and the name by which he is called is, "THE WORD OF GOD." Rev 19:14 The armies of heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and pure, were following him on white horses. Rev 19:15 And out of his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down nations — "He will rule them with a staff of iron." It is he who treads the winepress from which flows the wine of the furious rage of Adonai, God of heaven's armies. Rev 19:16 And on his robe and on his thigh he has a name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. Rev 19:17 Then I saw an angel standing in the sun, and he cried out in a loud voice to all the birds that fly about in mid-heaven, "Come, gather together for the great feast God is giving, Rev 19:18 to eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of generals, the flesh of important men, the flesh of horses and their riders and the flesh of all kinds of people, free and slave, small and great!" Rev 19:19 I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to do battle with the rider of the horse and his army. Rev 19:20 But the beast was taken captive, and with it the false prophet who, in its presence, had done the miracles which he had used to deceive those who had received the mark of the beast and those who had worshiped his image. The beast and the false prophet were both thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur. Rev 19:21 The rest were killed with the sword that goes out of the mouth of the rider on the horse, and all the birds gorged themselves on their flesh

We see from how the right leg of the Mem descends downward to the earth line, and then runs along it for an extended period. This represents the age of the 1000 year

kingdom of the Messiah for it is written;

ה׃ ו י ל)ה אא)תרי ני ה קרי י דול)ה ה גפ א מ)ה חי ה ופ ו דול)ה ה גפ י א)ה נפ ון קרי יי צרי י לפ אא)תרי ני ו)ת קרי אי ב)ה יה צפ הו)ה ר יפ מי ה א)ה כאה

ר־ הי )ת ופ מרי אל ו יר־ה)ה י ם ערי רי לי רוש)ה ה יפ ה א)ה רפ קפ נרי ופ ם ו ל)ה וש)ה רו וך יפ )תי י בפ י תרי נפ כי ש)ה ון ופ יי ל־צרי י אר תרי בפ י ה שי הו)הי ר יפ י מי ה א)ה כאיש דר קאו ר הי א ו)ת הי אי ב)ה ה צפ א הו)ה יפ

Zec 8:2 "Adonai-Tzva'ot says, 'I am extremely jealous on Tziyon's behalf, and I am jealous for her with great fury.' Zec 8:3 Adonai says, 'I am returning to Tziyon, and I will live in Yerushalayim. Then Yerushalayim will be called Truth City, Adonai-Tzva'ot's Mountain, the Mountain of the Holy One.

The Mem represents the womb of creation. We have seen that the word Mayim (water) begins with this letter, which is also the first letter in the word Mochiach (Messiah). When the Ancient Holy One desired to create, He withdrew a part of himself and created the fabric of Space and Time. This is the nuclear string and it is represented by each line that makes the letter Mem. But notice that it has two forms, both a final form which is closed, and a regular form which is open in the bottom left hand corner. The space in the center is in the shape of the womb of a woman. In the closed form, the Mem represents the womb of the Virgin Mother of Rabbi King Messiah. For at that time she had not slept with a man and was only betrothed. Her womb was a closed Mem, guarded by her hymen tissue. But yet her womb was filled with water and developed the embryo by the Word of He who would inhabit the body of the infant. When He came forth from her He passed through the birth channel and the closed Mem became an open Mem. This entire process was modeled in the creative process itself. For the waters of Genesis represent a mikveh of the new birth of the world in the womb of creation for it is written;

Gen 1:2 The earth was unformed and void, darkness was on the face of the deep, and the Spirit of God hovered over the surface of the water.

Before the creation of the Primordial Light, before the birth of the baby universe; as well as before the birth of Rabbi King Messiah, the waters of the womb were dark. Therefore it is written; darkness was on the face of the deep.

Conclusion

This has only been a simple use of the Gamatria. I wanted to do this in order to show how very deep the Bible in it's original language is. Can you imagine if we had done this study using the other methods of Gamatria or simply used the entire name for each of the Knowable Aspects of the Ancient of Days? It would have been astounding and more than worthy of an entire book itself. This can be done with just about any subject in the Bible, not just the nature of G-d. I chose the nature of G-d, because I felt it was the most important. Of course our Heavenly Father is ultimately unknowable, and what we have done here is to use what He has given us to know. The Zohar says, “In the beginning, Infinity created G-d.” This is not to say that there is anything greater than He, but only to say that every concepts that we think of about His nature, or what G-d is, were themselves created by G-d.

Notes and Bibliography

1. 1.Cf. Maim. Guide, II, ch. 32. It seems strange that wealth should he regarded as a necessary qualification for prophecy. Poverty was not regarded as a fault, many of the Rabbis being poor (e.g., Hillel, before he became nasi; R. Joshua, the opponent of R. Gamaliel; R. Judah), yet were not thought of any the less. CF. also Aboth, VI, 4. Is it possible that 'wealthy' was included in order to oppose the N.T. teachings which imply that poverty in itself is a virtue? [According to Asheri these qualifications are deemed necessary for the gift of permanent prophecy. This would explain the inclusion of wealth, which dowers its possessor with the sense of independence. the better to proclaim the word of God and which commands greater respect.]

2. Ex. XL, 19.3. Ex. XXVI, 16. This then was the height of the tabernacle: to have spread the tent

over it he must have been extremely tall, and presumably correspondingly strong.4. In which case he would not necessarily be strong.5. Deut. IX, 17.6. These would be extremely heavy and require great strength to handle.7. Ps. VIII, 6.8. Num. XII, 3.
