The Spirit of Man

Zechariah 12:1 - I am He that formeth or instills

The Spirit of man that is placed within him.

The crowning achievement of the Creator God was creation of man, who was created in the Image of God Himself. This creative process included the process of forming man
“of the dust of the ground”, but on a cosmic plane, we shall see later, man was created in the World of Formation, or as a ‘light being’. In the story of the Genesis creation, we see the Spirit of man is placed within Adam (Mankind). How? Well according to the creation story, the “Breath of God” was breathed into the nostrils of Adam on the sixth day and then something dynamic happened. (Genesis 1:7) Man became a living soul. Well, the Hebrew for breath is neshamah (Strong’s 5397), meaning a puff, such as a wing, angry or vital breath, divine inspiration and intellect. In reference to an animal, its meanings include that breath, inspiration, soul, and spirit. Let us look at the context of this word in several texts.

Genesis 6:17 - “And behold, I Myself am bringing floodwaters on the earth, to destroy from under heaven all flesh in which is the breath of life…

Genesis 7:15 - “And they went into the ark to Noah, two by two, of all flesh in which is the breath of life.”

Creation of Adam I Kings 17:17- “Now it happened after these things that the son of the woman who opened the house became sick. And his sickness was so serious that there was no breath left in him.”

Job 27:3 – “As long as my breath is in me, as the breath of God in my nostril, my lips will not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter deceit.”

Job 34:13, 14 – “Who appointed Him (God) over the whole world? If He should set His heart on it, if He should gather to Himself His Spirit and His breath, all flesh would perish together. And man would return to dust.”

Job 37:10 – “By the breath of God, ice is given, and the broad waters are frozen.”

Michelangelo’s “Creation of Adam” in the

Sistine Chapel in the Vatican

What about the Spirit of man as compared to the Spirit of God? Well in the Old Testament, there is no difference. The word spirit, Hebrew rewach, ruach (Strong’s 7307) coming from the root word meaning wind, and by resemblance breath, or an exhalation, also meaning life, anger or extending to a region of the sky with the resemblance of a spirit. The same word in the Chaldean language is also ruwach or ruach (Strong’s 7308) meaning mind, spirit, or wind.

The Hebrew’s understanding was centered totally around their view of creation and the Creative Power of God and their concept of how man became a ‘living soul’. In the Genesis story, man was:

1. Formed from the dust of the ground,

2. The breath of God was breathed into his nostrils and then

3. Man became a living soul.

Well then, do we have three separate parts to the image of man or is there one image of man, the soul, in which is composed of two parts, the dust of the ground plus the breath of God?

Dust of the Ground + Breath of God = The Soul of Man.

A large part of modern Christianity today believes that the soul of man is the spirit of man, which lives in an ethereal existence after the death of the body. This is the Platonic concept of man’s soul, which permeates throughout a lot of Christian theology. In this concept of creation, we have the body, which today is seen as a prison, which traps the breath of God, or rather the spirit of man. When man dies, his soul is released to live in the spirit world, a world thought to be a world of freedom that is freedom to do your own desires. Does God require any duties or commands of the souls residing in heaven? To many Christians, that answer would be no!! If they are in heaven then they are beyond judgment.

I remember a few years ago, when Louis Welsh, the long time mayor of Houston, died. The radio news commentator casually said, “Well, Mayor Welsh is in a happier place, and I’m sure he still is smoking his stogy cigar and smiling down upon us still here on earth.” If substance abuse is allowed in heaven, what about wife abuse, child abuse, or for that matter chocolate abuse or pizza abuse. It becomes obvious that a different sort of reality, a least a reality check is necessary for us to reside in the presence of the Almighty.

The Five Levels of Reality or Creations

In the Hebrew concept of creation, all the dimensions of all the universes existed on four different emanations from the Ein Sof, the Unfathomable and Hidden God. As such, first realm of reality was Ein Sof, or the Primordial Adam Kadman. This was the source of all life and the sustainer of all life. To the Christians, we visualize this best in the image of God the Father.

The second realm of reality, to the Hebrews, was the first created world or called the World of Divine Emanation (Azilut) or the World of the Divine, or the realm of God Himself. Yes, creation began within the World of the Divine, for at the center of this world is the Tiferet, or Beauty. This was the vortex or fulcrum where all the rest of creation streamed forth from the hidden abode of the Divine One, the Ein Sof, the Unseen, Impenetrable God. This is where this author believes Yehoshua, as the precarnate Christ, the Only Begotten of the Father, the First of all Creation resided in Divinity.

Let us look at this concept real seriously. The Bible is explicit in several passages about the Only Begotten of the Father, the First of all creation, the express Son of God, or the Only Begotten Son of God. We are back into the battles between the two clerics of Alexandria, Egypt, Arias and Athanasius in the 3^rd century Alexandria Christian Church, which erupted into a full scale theological battle throughout all Christendom. Was Jesus Christ created or begotten?

Was Yahshua Begotten?

Begotten - Let us visit now the Hebrew for the word, begotten. The first Hebrew word is yalad (Strong’s 3205) which means to bear young, to show lineage, to give birth, to bring forth children, to calve, hatch, labor, or to be delivered. This word is classically the primary role of progeneration for all creatures, whether lizards, beetles, eagles, lions, or humans. In the New Testament Greek, this word is used only in reference to Jesus uses the Greek word, monogenes, meaning the “only born”, the “sole child”. (Strong’s Greek 3439) (John 1:14, 18; 3:16, 18; Heb 11:17; 1 John 4:9 ) Yet the Greek has a different word dedicated to the creation of children or the young of various species, and this was the word, gennao, (Strong’s Greek 1080) meaning to bear, beget, to bring forth, conceive to deliver. (Act 13:33, Heb 1:5; 5:5.) Both of these words were used in reference to Yahshua (Jesus) in relation to His Father.

Was Yahshua Created?

Created - Even though, Jesus is stated to have been begotten by the Father, there is no reference to Jesus to have been created by the Father. The Hebrew world for creation is, bara, (Strong’s 1254), meaning to choose, create, cut down, dispatch, do or to make. This suggests a formative process which requires forming or making something. The Greek word for creation, isktizo, and (Strong’s 2936) gives the idea of proprietorship of the manufacturer, to fabricate or to make.

The Council of Nicea that formulated the Nicene Creed of 325 CE – Sistine Chapel Fresco in the Vatican

When we look at the World of the Divine Emanation, the idea is already unfolding of energy streaming out of the Throne of God. It gives the projection of coming from somewhere and going to something else. This now opens another question, does God recreate Himself? The Ein Sof, the Hidden One, the Almighty Father, according to the models of the Sefirot of the mystical Jews resides in an atmosphere of infinite energy. To be anything less than infinite means that God has to place Himself or project Himself into another dimension. As the Hebrews struggled with these vast concepts, they realized that once the Almighty One projects Himself into another dimension; He has “begotten” himself, or recreated himself into another sphere, not unlike a human male and female combining their genetic makeup and having children. Adam did not create his son, Seth, yet according to scriptures, he beget Seth.

Yes, begetting and creating are two separate processes. So God the Father beget a Son, called Yahshua (Jesus), just as Adam beget a son, Seth. It was through this Son, Yahshua, that the creative powers of the Father streamed through to create the whole universe during the first six days of Creation. It was not multiple Sons in multiple universes that God used to create, but the Only Begotten Son that is the One and Only, the Sole Son of God. It was through His Son, Yahshua, that God in another dimension outside of the Ein Sof molded the clay of the ground, and then put into this clay the “Breath of Divinity” and through the process of creation, man became a living soul.

Nicea Council

Wait a minute, something different happened. Does that make us like God? Yes! It does give something to man that all other creatures on this earth do not have, that is a Sefirot, the imprinted “Image of the Divine”. The molded inanimate clay, plus the “breath of God” and now man becomes a living soul. Yet, according to the Hebrews as we shall see, man’s soul is different, for it is the image of God. What was this image? This image was the Sefirot of God. Adam and all mankind have a ‘blueprint”, a holographic image of the Creator God, imbedded into their genetic code. This image is transferred by genetic transfer to their children known as the process of begetting. In a way, we have to say, we do not create our children, we beget our children. Do other animals beget their offspring? Yes, but they do not have to ability to transfer the “Divine Imprint” that is so special to the human race. In a way we can say, “it is all in the genes’.

Is Yahshua Divine?

nicea (iznik) Does God begetting Yahshua (Jesus), make Yahshua any less God than God? Good question. In our finite wisdom, we would have to say, No!. In reality, we cannot understand this, yet in a few minutes, we will understand that we have the privilege to comprehend it not just in our mental faculties called intellect, but in spiritual faculties that the rise superior to even our intellect, our spiritual soul.

The Ruins of Ancient Nicea where Constantine the Great hosted the Council of Nicea in 325 CE.

Yes, we would also have to suggest that God the Father, the source of Infinite Energy, has an energy substance greater than Jesus, the Son of God. This is not a matter of quality, but of quantity. Yet, Jesus, as begotten, is still of the same substance, that is Divine, as His Father. He is of the same quality as His Father, yet being begotten in another dimension, though He, Yahshua, may be eternal, is not of infinite energy. In the Nicene Creed, formulated in the early 4^th century, they called this homoousias, or of the same substance. Surprising, they came to the correct conclusion that Yehoshua was of the same divine substance at YHVH, even though the philosophical foundation from where they started was wrong. The question was not whether Jesus was created, but whether he was begotten. How did this happen? The Jewish rabbis and sages, who offered to join and assist in the Nicene Council, were forbidden to participate upon the pain of death.

How did the early Roman Christian Orthodox Church get things mixed up in describing the divinity of Christ? One of the reasons was the wrong philosophical foundation in understanding the creation of the universe. By the 4^th century, the Roman and Hellenistic, or Greek, influence of the ascendant Roman Church had replaced the Hebrew or Jewish philosophical influence on the Christian Church.

A Greek Orthodox Icon depicting the Early Church Fathers holding a copy of the Nicene Decree that was held in 381 CE.

The early Christian Church in the beginning was a Jewish or Hebrew Synagogue in its religion and its philosophy was centered upon Jewish Torah law. As the Jews came into more and more disfavor with the Romans after the revolt of 70 CE and the destruction of the Jerusalem Temple of the Lord and then the later revolt in 135 CE of the Jewish messiah Bar Kokhba, the Jews were forbidden to enter or live in Jerusalem at all. The Roman Christian Church turned against her Mother Church the Hebrew Nazarene Ecclesia in Jerusalem. Yes, the early Roman Christian Church apostatized and became anti-Semitic, against the very people and religion that gave them their birth and their philosophical foundation. This fact has plagued the Christian Church in theory and in practice to this very day.

The battle over the nature of Yahshua (Jesus) that plagued the church in the 3^rd to the 5^th centuries and resulted in the Nicene Creed, accepted by Christianity today as defining the nature of their Jesus of Nazareth, came from the Greco-Roman philosophy of “Creation Ex Nihilo”, or Creation out of nothing. Yet, the Jesus of Nazareth in the Christian Church was a “make-over” upon the Greco-Roman religious foundation and is not the same human as the Jewish Rabbi Yahshua HaNotzri (Jesus the Nazarene) who was a Prince of David, who was trained, lived, and served out His life as a Torah-observing Jew, who lived His life, as a Hasid, above and beyond the letter of the Law (Torah).

Creation Ex-Nihilo

The Christian philosophy of creation suggests that God created the universe outside of Himself that is He spoke into a void out there and the universe came into being. What this created was a vast gulf between the creator God and His human creation. When man sinned, this vast gulf, an impassible chasm, made it impossible for man to reach over to the side of the divine, so Jesus, as the God-man had to bridge this gulf.

In the Jewish Nazarene Ecclesia Church model, Jesus became our high priest and our mediator. Yahshua became the active passage way, so that through the messiahship of Yahshua, all men could have access to become “sons and daughters” of the divine. By the Manifestation of the Divine in the human form of Yahshua ben Yosef (Jesus son of Joseph), it was YHWH God who manifested Himself in human form, an act upon which God gave of Himself for His chosen creation.

By putting Jesus on the God-side of this vast gulf, through the Nicene Creed, we now needed a mediator on the earth side. Who could assume that role, but the Vicar of God, the head bishop of Rome? The Pope now took the place of Yahshua as mediator high priest. Amazing how one small ideological step can twist the meaning of scripture 180 degrees.

The Iznik Lake To the Alexandrian theologians, Arias and Athanasius, who was this God-man Jesus? Was he divine and lived on the God side of the gulf or was he a human man created on the man side of the gulf. The argument centered around an either/or equation. The sad part of this story is that who ever won the argument; millions of people would have been and were killed, exterminated or excommunicated from the fellowship of believers in Jesus as the Christ.

The Iznik Lake (Lake of Nicea)

Strange people we are who produce the horrors of death and even genocide over a philosophy or an idea. This battle is waged event today in our Christian Churches, Bible Study groups in Christian fellowships today study the concepts as the substitutionary death of Jesus, the atonement of man by Christ fulfilling the death sentence on man before an angry God. The Jonathan Edwards image of God dangling man over the pits of hell and even our modern concepts of hell fire are imbedded in this battle over understanding the role of the divinity and death of Jesus.

The Sefirot – The Hebrew Model of Creation

We have been studying the Creation of the Universe and man in the Hebrew model of Creation called the Sefirot. According to mystical Judaism, the deepest and most philosophical remnant of the Hebrew faith, the creation of man and the universe came by a creative process of emanations, that is One and only One God of Israel unfolding himself down a cascading avalanche of diminishing energy to the physical world around us. On one hand we have the Creator God with infinite Energy and the rocks we stand upon having atoms with very slow vibratory rates, in comparison to God, or as some physicists call, dense matter. It was Jewish scientist Albert Einstein, who broke through this veil suggesting that all matter was created by energy and the equation flows not just one way but two ways. According to Einstein, E = MC2 is a reversible street. Energy flows to matter and matter can flow back to energy. Think of this when we discuss the five levels of the soul.

According to Rabbi David Cooper, in his book, God is a Verb, “Creation is composed of five major categories of consciousness, called world or universes. Although we give different names to the worlds they are not separate universes, but are concentric worlds, one within the other.” He goes on to name these separate universes:

1. Adam Kadmon, the Primordial Source,

2. Atzilut, the World of the Spirit,

3. Beriyah, the World of the Intellect,

4. Yetzirah, the World of the Emotions,

5. Asiyyah, the World of Physicality or the Physical Life Forms on this planet.

This sounds like Ezekiel’s ‘wheel within a wheel’. It is strange how order and uniform behavior permeated throughout all of God’s creation. According to Cooper, ‘each of these worlds is a lens through which we gain a unique perspective of reality.” (Ibid 95) So we have to ask ourselves, “What is reality?” “Is our world reflective of true reality or is it the mirror image of reality? Is our physical world in which we use scientific methodology of extracting physical evidence giving us evidence of reality? The answer is Yes. Yet, this reality is only in the 5^th World of Physicality or our physical world. Interestingly we soon understand that this in on the very lowest plane of Ultimate Reality. This is a sobering thought for the scientists, who suggest that they are the guardians of the truth of reality.

The Sefirot by Rabbi Isaac Luria - Z’ev ben Shimon Halevi, kabbalah – Tradition of hidden knowledge, Thames and Hudson, 1979

Another way of looking at this model of creation according to the Hebrews, Rabbi Isaac Luria, a famed mystical Jewish Rabbi in Safed, Palestine in the 16^th century, put into writing the philosophical basis of Hebrew creation. This philosophical foundation was known to go back at least to the 1^st century BCE, during the days of the famed Rabbi Hillel the Great, whose Beis Av Din (Vice-President) of the Great Sanhedrin was Menahem the Essene, felt to be the author of the first known sefer (book) of Jewish mysticism called the Jewish Kabballah. According to Rabbi Isaac Luria, the Worlds of Creation started with the:

The First World of Reality – The Keter or the Unseen Almighty God

First world of reality, Ein Sof, the Hidden One, called EHYEM, who resided at the top or the Crown of the Sefirot, called the Keter. The World of the Unfathomable Father included three emanations, the Keter or Kingship, Hokhmah or Wisdom, and Binah or Understanding. These attributes are not given to all mankind except by the express will of the Father. Even Yahshua (Jesus), as the manifestation of His Father, could not give kingship to man. Yet Yahshua (“YHVH saves”) was able to give salvation that is to provide the pathway through Himself to the Throne of the Father who was the giver of salvation.

Directly below the Keter or Crown is the Daat or Knowledge, seen by the mystical Jews as the veil that stands before the Throne, that no created beings can penetrate except as revealed by YHVH opening the veil and allowing Himself to be revealed.

The Second World of Reality – The World of the Divine

The Sefirot by Rabbi Isaac Luria - Z’ev ben Shimon Halevi, kabbalah –

Tradition of hidden knowledge, Thames and Hudson, 1979

In the Second concentric world of reality, the Atzilut is the World of the Divine, God as the Father Image, or YHVH, the Eternal One is the center. Keep this image in mind also when discussing the New Jerusalem as the Future World of Reality.

Below the Daat is the third world of reality, called the Trunk, or Beriah, the World of Creation. Notice that the concentric circle centers in this world around the Daat, or the Veil, as the World of the Divine centers around the Crown, or God the Father. Here we can fit in the images of the Olive Tree and the Vine. Whereas God the Father is the Root of the Olive Tree and the Grape Vine, it is the Veil that reveals the Trunk of the Olive Tree and the Grape Vine. Yet we have a problem. The Daat is not a part of the Sefirot. It is recognized as a non-Sefirot. It does not emanate, it only reveals by opening and closing as directed by God the Father, the Lord of Hosts. It is revealed knowledge. Since Yahshua was the direct human manifestation of the One God, YHVH, than it is through this passage that we now understand the following text:

John 14:6 - “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life, no one comes to the Father except through Me.”

The only independent active elements in the Sefirot of Creation are those beings that are begotten as Sefirots of God. These are the only manifestations of the Divine Spirit; the One True God, YHVH. These include Yahshua, the human manifestation and the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) as the spirit manifestation of the Unknown and Unseen God, YHVH. We shall see in a few moments these three complete Sefirots were recognized by the Early Christian Church as complete autonomous beings; God the Father, as the ultimate reality, Jesus, the only Begotten Son of the Father, as the only reality in the World of the Angelic Spirit Beings, and Adam, and the Sons of God, as the only reality in the World of Light Beings as the interplanetary Sons of God.

“Bach and the Sefirot” by the Jewish Artist Shoshonnah Brombach, depicting the Sefirot in the Mystical music of the “hidden Jewish-German” composer, Yohannes Sebastian Bach

Yet, the early Jewish Nazarenes only knew Yahshua (Jesus) as the only manifestation of their God, the God of Israel. He was the God of Israel that put (incarnated) Himself into the human body of a babe called Yahshua. It was a reality that “God came down to dwell amongst man”. Yahshua was the human manifestation of Himself as the Keter or the King of the Universes who chose to manifest Himself into the lower dimensions of the physical world called the World of Asiyyah.

We ask, how could the God of the Universes, who proclaimed that He was the Unseen and the Unknown God. Here we have Yahshua (Jesus), as the Captain of the Lord of Hosts, who meets Joshua, and the Angel before the Presence of the Lord (of Hosts) who meets the Patriarch Abraham. Yehoshua is the manifestation of the First of the Archangels. Whereas each archangel, including the Archangel Gabriel, represented only one emanation from the Sefirot of God, Yehoshua as the Sefirot and Michael as His signet Archangel, reflects the entire blue-print, the Sefirot, or the holographic image of the Ultimate Divine Reality. This is the “Image of God”. This is the “Image” in which Yahweh Elohim (Yehoshua) created Adam from the dust of the ground by breathing into his nostrils the Breath or Spirit of Life. Yet, this understanding was only partly correct, for the God of the Universes is the One and Only God, who is Omnipotent, Omnipresent, and Omniscient

Just below the Daat or the Veil stands the Tiferet, or Beauty, which is the heart and body of the entire Sefirot of the Divine World. In the words of symbolism, this is the trunk of the Sefirot. This is the Trunk of the Olive Tree and the Branch of the Grape Vine. Yet on the physical world, we find the evidence that Unseen One and Only One God presented Himself in different manifestations that were recorded in the sacred writ.

· The God who walked and talked with Adam and Eve in the Garden –

· The God who manifested Himself as Three Men who ate with Abram –

· The God who manifested Himself as Two Men who saved Lot and His family from the Fire and Brimstone of Sodom and Gomorrah –

· The God who manifested Himself as an Angel who fought Jacob –

· The God who manifested Himself as a Burning Bush –

· The God who manifested Himself to Moses on the Mount called Sinai -

· The God who manifested Himself who manifested Himself as the Captain of the Lords Host to Joshua –

Within the third concentric circle of reality in the mystical traditions of Judaism is the Yezirah, the World of Formation that is called the “Branch”. Is it not beautiful how one piece of the puzzle fits together with another? The Branch of the House of David (Isaiah 4:2; 11:1; Jeremiah 23:5; 33:15; Zechariah 3:8, 6:12) is none other than the Beauty in Zechariah (Zechariah 11:7, 10) or Tiferet/Beauty in the Sefirot of the World of the Divine.

The Return of the Messiah on the White Horse at the Blast of the Seventh Trumpet of the Lord

Let us look at these texts for they are the key on how Yahshua (Jesus) is imbedded into the models of the Jewish Sefirot and the central fulcrum of the entire matrix of the World of the Divine.

Isaiah 4:2 – “In that day (at the end of time), the Branch (Yahshua) of the Lord (of Hosts or God the Father) shall be beautiful and glorious.”

Isaiah 11:1 – “There shall come forth a Rod from the stem of Jesse, and a Branch (Yahshua) shall grow out of his roots.”

Jeremiah 23:5 – “Behold, the days are coming,” says the Lord, “That I will raise to David a Branch of Righteousness (Yahshua); A King (Kingship is given to Yehoshua HaMaschiach (Jesus the Messiah) just before He returns on the “White Horse” at the Seventh Trumpet of the Seventh Seal) shall reign and prosper, and execute judgment and righteousness in this earth (Millennial Kingdom of Glory).”

Jeremiah 33:15 – “In those days and at that time (End of Times) I will cause to grow up to David, a Branch of Righteousness (Yahshua); He shall execute judgment and righteousness in the earth. In those days (time of the end) Judah will be saved, and Jerusalem will dwell safely. And this is the name by which She will be called: The Lord our Righteousness.”

Zechariah 3:8 – “Hear, O Joshua, the high priest, you and your companions who sit before you, for they are a wondrous sign; for behold, I am bringing forth My Servant the Branch (Yahshua).

Zechariah 6:12 – “Thus says the Lord of hosts, saying, “Behold, the Man (remember John the Baptist speaking about Jesus at his baptism, “Behold the Man”) whose Name is the Branch! From His place (within the Sefirot of the World of the Divine) He shall branch out, and He shall build the temple of the Lord (during the millennium); He shall bear the glory (as King of kings and Lord of lords), and shall sit and rule on His throne (during the millennial kingdom); So He shall be a priest (Our High Priest since His resurrection) on His throne (Yahshua shall become the Priest-King after the Order of Melchizedek) , and the counsel of peace shall be between them both.” (the office of the high priest and the office of the king)

Zechariah 11:7, 10 – “I (Lord of Hosts) took for myself two staffs: the one I called Beauty, and the other I called Bonds;

The Sefirot in the Book of Isaiah - But first let us now relook at Isaiah 11:1 and see if we can perceive the Sefirot of God unfolding in these passages:

Isaiah 11:1 - “There shall come forth a Rod from the stem of Jesse, and a Branch (Yahshua) shall grow out of his roots. The Spirit (Holy Spirit) of the Lord (Malkhut or Kingdom) shall rest upon Him (remember the dove at the baptism of Jesus in the Jordan River?), The Spirit of Wisdom (Hokhmah) and Understanding (Binah), the Spirit of Counsel (Hesed or Mercy or Greatness) and Might (Gevurah or Judgment or Strength), The Spirit of Knowledge (Daat) and of the fear of the Lord (of Hosts, Keter, Crown or God the Father.)

Here within this one passage the hierarchy of the Sefirot of God is demonstrated as described for almost two thousand years by the mystical traditions of the Rabbi’s. Imbedded, yes, imbedded deeply as the veil of God still overshadows their eyes that they cannot see that Yahshua, their Son is also YHVH their One and Only One Lord God. Soon that veil will be lifted. When they make the connection, a cascading flow of divine understanding will spread throughout the entire world.

Let us now relook at the Sefirot of the Monotheistic God the Father in the diagram above as it relates to Yahshua HaMaschiach (Jesus the Messiah) in the physical human manifestation of the Tiferet or Beauty. The primary channels of energy and power flow down from Deity, the King, called the Keter or Crown. Yes, the crown is where the Monotheistic King reigns. This energy flows to Hokhmah, (Wisdom) and Binah (Understanding) and from there like a cascade or an energy vortex to the Tiferet, called Beauty. Now that we know that the “Beauty” is Yahshua in his pre-carnate state, when He was later incarnated into the flesh of the Jewish babe called Yahshua ben Joseph ben David.

Yet at the bottom of the Sefirot of the World of the Divine is the Malkhut or “Kingdom”. Does this sound familiar – “The Kingdom of God?” This is the revelation of the Almighty as He manifests Itself in the created worlds. The Malkhut or Kingdom of God in the economy of the Israelites was the presence of the Lord of hosts in the Shekinah glory. When the glory of the Lord was revealed over the Most Holy Place in the Sanctuary, the Israelites were assured that their God was dwelling within their midst. Yet today, the manifested presence of YHVH God is left with us in the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit). The Shekinah and the Holy Spirit are one in the same. The tongues of fire at the Pentecost revival were manifestations of the Shekinah. These manifestations of the Spirit Form of YHVH were seen in the Shekinah glory, the “sparks of light” in the Jewish mystic state that were to dwell in each of the apostles present in the Upper Room.

The diagram model of the Sefirot is but a two dimensional view, yet let your mind envision the vortex of a tornado and you might comprehend the picture of the flow of Energy Power of the Divine as it enters the point of creation of the entire universe. Here within the Sefirot as the Image of God is now revealed YHVH God as the Keter or Crown, and spoken in the ReNewed Testament (Brit Hadassah) as YHVH God as the Father in heaven. As the vortex of Energy descends down the “Pillar of Fire” we come to Yahshua HaMaschiach (Jesus the Messiah) as the Only Begotten Son of the Father as the Vast Creative Energy of the Ein Sof flows like a Vortex through the Human Manifestation of the Messiah as the Tiferet to the worlds below. Yet the Sefirot or the Image of God anchors itself in this three dimensional world, as the Shekinah or the Spirit Manifestation of YHVH known as the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit). Before we look at the first created world, we must first finish the Sefirot of the Omnipotent God. The Trinity is embedded in the Sefirot of the Lord but it does not represent a Trinity of three Gods, but two manifestations (human and spirit) of One God.

The Third World of Reality – The Angelic World of Creation

“And I saw another Angel Fly in the Midst of Heaven”

The Third Realm of Reality was also the first Created World, Beriyah, known as the World of Creation. (White and Purple on the Sefirot of Rabbi Luria) This was the world of the angelic hosts, the Archangels, the Cherubim, and all the angelic hosts. This was the world of the Neshama, the breath of God. For the word, “neshama” is derived the same root in Hebrew (nshm) as the word breath. As we have seen above, the breath of God and the Spirit of God are the same. By the same intuitive thinking, the breath given by God to man and the Spirit of man were the same.

Let us look at it another way, the arena of the quantum physicists looks at creation as levels of energy. In the realm of the Father, the Source of all life, the Energy Field in not just vast and Unfathomable, it is Infinite. If the models of the mystic Jews are correct, then the Tiferet, or the level of Beauty in the World of the Divine (white area) would be on a lower energy field than the Ein Sof, God the Father, as the Keter or Crown of all creation. If this is the abode of YHVH, the Son, Yahshua (Jesus) truly would be divine, for He was YHVH God manifested in His human form. As the God of the Universes, the Ein Sof, He manifested Himself into a lower level of creation in the human form as a Jewish babe, born to a Jewish maiden in Bethlehem. Did the Almighty One create Yahshua into another God, a lesser God, or Duality or a Trinity of His Divine Nature? No! As the Almighty One, He was the same Indivisible God, now and forever more, but manifested Himself in another dimension. Is this not what we witness in the testimony about that Jewish Rabbi called Yahshua HaNotzri (Jesus the Nazarene)?

John 10:30 - “I and My Father are One.”

John 14:10 – “Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me. The word that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority, but the Father who dwells in Me does the works. Believe Me that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves.”

John 14:20 – “At that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you.”

John 16:15 – “All things that the Father has are Mine. Therefore I said that He will take of Mine and declare it to you.”

John 16:28 – “I came forth from the Father and have come into the world. Again, I leave the world and go to the Father.”

The Fourth World of Reality – The Adamic World of Formation as Light Beings

Notice now the Fourth Concentric World of Reality as it centers on the “Branch” or the Tiferet as the Center of the World of Formation. (Purple and Red on the above Sefirot of Rabbi Luria) Notice how out of the center, the Tiferet, or the “Beauty” of the Spirit World, (White and Purple on the Sefirot Model of Rabbi Luria’s “Tree of Life”), begins the next Sefirot, or the Sefirot of Adam, where his keter or crown reaches or ascended into the World of the Divine. .

Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden

This is the highest form of human existence, the World of Light-Beings, the nature which Adam was created in the Garden of Eden. This is the “glorified human” that Yahshua exhibited in His own body after His resurrection, and after He had returned to His Father to be glorified through all creation. Consider the fact, that each of the archetypes of the World of the Divine, as the Father in Heaven, and Yehoshua the Son, as the Tiferet of the World of the Divine as the Cosmic Messiah, and Adam, as the Tiferet of the Angelic “World of Spirit Forms of Creation”, and now “Fallen Adam”, as the Tiferet of the of the “World of Formation of Light Beings” as the “Sons of God”.

Each one is a complete Sefirot, a complete “Image of the Father” in what the Genesis story called the “Image of God”. Each are a holographic duplication in a lower dimension of energy from the “Father YHVH God” as infinite Energy, to Yehoshua as in Manifested Energy of the Father Who was in Him, to Adam as the “Glorified Light Being” who literally radiated the glory of the Father, and now “Fallen Man” who was demoted from his former “estate” yet with the “Promise” that he will be restored as a “Son of God” who glorifies in His body, soul, and mind his Father in heaven.

“Among the Lamp Stands” –

Revelation 1:1-16

The World of Formation as “Light Beings” were the “Sons of God”, who sat in council in heaven in spoken about in the Book of Job. The role of the primacy of Adam as ruler of this earth was usurped by HaSatan, or “the Satan”, called The Devil, in Gans Eden (Garden of Eden). It also suggests that other inhabited worlds have “Sons of God”, as “Glorified Light Beings” that sit in the Council of Heaven as the representative of their planetary world. This ascended human form of existence was seen by the Jewish apostle of Yehoshua called John the Revelator.

“The Throne in Heaven” – Revelation 4:5-8

Revelation 4:2-5, 5:1-10 - “Immediately I was in the Spirit; and behold, a throne set in heaven, and One sat on the throne. And He who sat there was like a jasper and a sardius stone in appearance; and there was a rainbow around the throne, in appearance like an emerald. Around the throne were twenty-four thrones, and on the thrones I saw twenty-four elders sitting, clothed in white robes; and they had crowns of gold on their heads. And from the throne proceeded lightnings, thunderings, and voices. Seven lamps of fire were burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God…

“The Lamb Slain” – Revelation 5:6

And I saw in the right hand of Him who sat on the throne a scroll written inside and on the back, sealed with seven seals. Then I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, ‘Who is worthy to open the scroll and to loose its seals?”…so I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open and to read the scroll, or to look at it. But one of the elders said to me, ‘Do not weep, Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root
