We find that many Christian Theologians and people who have done extensive study in the New Testament when they read the beginning of the Book of John they assume that John is speaking about Jesus being the living word. This site will address this issue and help explain John’s true meaning. This is an article called “The way the truth and the Light, by Jeff A Benner, http://www.ancient-hebrew.org/50_way.html. It will help explain that John a Disciple of Jesus was referring to the Torah and of the Ancient Jewish Mystical Teaching we have been covering over the past several weeks.
Due to size constrains we will have to cover the Ten Sefirot individually in two different articles this week will address the bottom 5 Sefirot and completing with the upper 5 Sefirot next week. Since the 10th Sefirot of Malkuth represents the starting point for our spiritual walk we will start at this point looking at the Ten Sefirot and working our way up to Kether which represents Adonai (The Lord God Most High). Just as there are many different ways of interpreting the Bible there are just as many ways of seeing the Ten Sefirot based on our Studies this is our perception of them.
Please keep in mind due to limited space you can find the diagram of the Ten Sefirot here on our blog http://thelightinchristministry.blogspot.com/.
(10) The Malkuth is Presence or the Physical Kingdom this is the place we live in day to day. This would be called by many the 99%. This is the place where we strive to have the things of the Physical, answers where we can see touch and feel. This is the image as we see it of Jesus’ Feet on the Cross.
(9) The Yesod is Foundation, this is the place of the foundation of our faith. This is where we start to seek a better understanding of the world we live in. This is the place where we start our walk with the Lord and seek to have a greater understanding from him. This is the image as we see it of Jesus’ Body on the Cross.
(8) The Hod is Splendor, this is the place that as we grow stronger in our faith and knowledge of the Torah, we can begin to see the splendor in everything Adonai has created. This is the image as we see it of Jesus’ Left arm on the Cross.
(7) The Netzakh is Eternity, at this point in our walk we start to gain a better understanding that there is more to our lives than just what we perceived to be in the physical. This is the image as we see it of Jesus’ Right arm on the Cross.
Take a close look at the detailed image that we are creating. Jesus spreads his arms and what do you behold, Splendor and Eternity. If that doesn’t make you stop and look at the Cross from a different point of view then we surly don’t know what else will.
(6) The Tiphareth is Beauty or Compassion, This is the point we reach as we strive to be more Christ like. At this point in your walk you should have started to become more compassionate of other around you, and be striving to show others the beauty of the Lord through your walk with him, through all of your actions and deeds. We image this to be the point of Jesus’ head on the Cross covered with the crown of thorns. For as he spoke the only way to the Father is through me. This we believe to be his meaning, that with out achieving this point in your walk, will you ever be able to achieve your walk in the Upper 5 Sefirot.
Please keep in mind when reading our Articles and even in your daily reading of the Bible that Jewish culture is covered throughout with images. It is for us as humans a gift from God to help us to visualize their contents and their meanings.
The Lord Bless you and Protect you!
The Lord deal kindly and graciously with you!
The Lord bestow His favor upon you and grant you peace!
