The New Sanhedrin: The Catalyst for Global Unity? by Ron Matsen

The foundation for the Sanhedrin can be found in the Council of the seventy elders established by Moses, “So the LORD said to Moses: “Gather to Me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom you know to be the elders of the people and officers over them; bring them to the tabernacle of meeting, that they may stand there with you.”

At this point it is important to note that the term Sanhedrin is not actually a Hebrew word. The name comes from the Greek: συνέδριον (synedrion) meaning: “sitting together.”

Whether disillusioned by the self-imposed blinders and myopia of contemporary “science,” or frustrated by the moral bankruptcy of unbridled materialism, increasing numbers of desperate people are now seeking “answers” outside the realm of natural phenomena and are pursuing the supernatural. The anguished plea of the disenfranchised now begs the question, “Is there anyone out there?”

EDITORIAL DEAR FRIENDS

Ron Matsen President, Koinonia House

The spiritual climate in the world today clearly shows us that we are witnessing profound end-times connected events. In this month’s “Personal Update” news journal, we have focused on the rise of mysticism within some of the influential religious leaders in Israel today. For most Christians, terms like Sanhedrin, kabbalah, noahidism, and Shechinah are not used in everyday conversation. Yet, their general use outside of the halls of Christianity telegraphs an important paradigm shift in the religious landscape of the Jews.

No doubt, what we say here may create both helpful comments and condemnation as we attempt to address these very controversial topics. Please remember that the moto of KHouse is found in Acts 17:11 concerning the Bereans which states,

“These were more fair-minded than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness, and searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so.”

Further investigation and discovery will refine or refute the implications suggested by these articles. Please feel free to send us your comments at feedback@khouse.org

May God continue to bless you as you continue to study His Word.

THE NEW SANHEDRIN

THE CATALYST FOR GLOBAL UNITY?

The foundation for the Sanhedrin can be found in the Council of the seventy elders established by Moses, “So the LORD said to Moses: “Gather to Me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom you know to be the elders of the people and officers over them; bring them to the tabernacle of meeting, that they may stand there with you.” 1

At this point it is important to note that the term Sanhedrin is not actually a Hebrew word. The name comes from the Greek: συνέδριον (synedrion) meaning: “sitting together.” Counting Moses, it consisted of 71 members. According to the Jewish Virtual Library, “It was the final authority on Jewish law and any scholar who went against its decisions was put to death as a rebellious elder. The Sanhedrin was led by a president called the nasi (lit. “prince”) and a vice president called

the av bet din (lit. “father of the court”). The other 69 sages sat in a semi-circle facing the leaders. It is unclear whether the leaders included the high priest.”2

The authority of the Sanhedrin continued through the times of the Kings as we read, “Moreover in Jerusalem, for the judgment of the LORD and for controversies, Jehoshaphat appointed some of the Levites and priests, and some of the chief fathers of Israel, when they returned to Jerusalem.” 3

There are 22 New Testament references to the “councils” (K.J.V.) that were active during the time of the ministry of Jesus. In fact, Jesus was most likely tried by this body of judges (Matthew 26:59; Mark 14:55; and Luke 22:66,67). The apostles were brought before them (Acts 5), and the first martyr, Stephen, was arrested and tried by them (Acts 6:8-15). In about AD 30, the Great Sanhedrin lost its authority to inflict capital punishment and thus faded on the political stage in Israel.

Disbanding the Sanhedrin

Before AD 70, Raban Yohanan (John) Ben Zakay flees Jerusalem in a coffin, pretending to be dead, and so reaches Vespasian. He predicted Vespasian would become emperor. When he did, he asked the Sanhedrin to be allowed to resume in Yanve.4 Thus, the Sanhedrin took refuge by permission of Vespasian in Yanve, where they continued as the “councilors of the Jews.” This dislocated Sanhedrin operated under the leadership of Rabban Gamaliel II, the grandson of Rabban Gamaliel I who is the one referenced in Acts 22:3 where it is said that he was Paul’s teacher and in Acts 5:34-40, where he encourages the Sanhedrin to show tolerance toward the then-new Christian church.

Following the destruction of the Jerusalem Temple, the Sanhedrin fled, moving from site to site until AD 193, then the members made their final move to Tiberias. In AD 358, the Roman Emperor Theodosius disbanded the Sanhedrin and declared it illegal, under pain of execution, to grant ordination to new Sanhedrin members or issue new court rulings. In the closing years of this academic center, the Jerusalem Talmud

was compiled. The Talmud is a collection of commentaries on the oral and written traditions of the Jews and is the primary source of Jewish religious law and Jewish theology.

Rotten Roots of the Sanhedrin?

A 1961 archaeological dig just south of the present-day city of Tiberias uncovered a basilica structure that, archaeologists believe, may have served as the Sanhedrin’s seat in Tiberias. During our 2019 B.A.S.E. Tour to Israel, we noticed that the floor of this fourth-century synagogue has the images of the Zodiac wheel, featuring, among other pagan images, depictions of naked humans—including a conspicuously uncircumcised Libra. The wheel encircles a haloed Helios, the Greek sun god, mounted atop his chariot. If this truly was the home of the last formal Sanhedrin in Israel, then it has a sad tale to tell of the influence of pagan ideas embedded within the foundation of the synagogue where the Jerusalem Talmud was compiled.

The synagogue at Beth Alpha near Gilboa is another wonderful example of the infiltration of the Zodiac wheel into the foundation of Jewish theological thinking.

Sepphoris (Tzippori) is a third archaeological site to be considered. It is located in the central Galilee region of Israel, 3.7 miles (6 km) northnorthwest of Nazareth. Once again, we see the pagan influence laid out on the floor of this synagogue. Here, in AD 200, the Rabbi Yehuda Hasasi, edited and published the oral law as a canonic text called the “Mishna”, meaning “secondary.” This is the “Second Torah”, and it can be seen as a Jewish equivalent to the “New Testament.” The Mishna was later transferred to Babylon, and there, far from the Roman/ Byzantine empire the Rabbis wrote the official version of the Talmud: the Babylonian Talmud.

Right: Floor at Sepphoris5

I think it is safe to say that based on these three examples of mosaic floor coverings the fourth-century Jewish theologians abandoned their abhorrence of images as prescribed in the Mosaic Law, which states, “You shall not make for yourself a carved image--any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.” 6 The more mankind accommodates false representations of God, the more those images find a comfortable home in both heart and mind. This was true even for the Sanhedrin.

Re-establishing the Sanhedrin

Post the exile imposed by the Romans, there have been many attempts to reconvene this governing body of Jewish scholars. Since the dissolution of the Sanhedrin in AD 358, no universally recognized authority has been established. The twelfth-century scholar, Maimonides, discussed the seeming incompatibility of the essential requirement of Jewish Law for a Sanhedrin and the inability to form one due to the loss of semikhah (the formal transmission of authority from Moses through the generations).

Maimonides – based on a tradition he had in his family and from his teachers – believed that the Sanhedrin will not necessarily be renewed miraculously by the Messiah. He wrote that if the sages of Israel who lived in the Land of Israel would gather together and choose one among them as worthy of ordination, then he would be considered to have been ordained with the original ordination. He, in turn, could ordain 69 or 70 men until the entire Sanhedrin was reconstituted.7

Based on this simple solution, an agreement of the “sages of Israel” could

choose and ordain a nasi (lit. “prince”), who would be responsible to populate the remainder of the 70-seat Sanhedrin.

In the last five hundred years, there have been a few unsuccessful attempts to re-establish a Sanhedrin:

• In 1538 by Rabbi Jacob Berab

• In 1830 by Rabbi Yisroel Shklover

• In 1901 by Rabbi Aharon Mendel haCohen

• In 1940 by Rabbi Zvi Kovsker and

• In 1949 by Rabbi Yehuda Leib Maimon

Several websites report that “in 2004 on the shores of the Sea of Galilee in Tiberias a new Sanhedrin was established.”8,9 Apparently, this organization referred to itself as the nascent Sanhedrin, or “developing Sanhedrin” and regarded itself as a provisional body awaiting integration into the Israeli government as both a supreme court and an upper house of the Knesset. Even though the Israeli secular press regards it as an illegitimate fundamentalist organization of rabbis, this group, by consensus, elected Rabbi Moshe Halberstam as the nasi; unfortunately, he died shortly afterward in 2006 at the age of 74.10

A spokesman said, The rebirth of the Sanhedrin is a slow, ongoing process. Although it makes headlines and many like to highlight its controversy, it is, in truth, a humble project by rabbis from all sides of the Torah world joining together simply to fulfill a Torah commandment. Rather than a source of religious division, G-d forbid, it is a vehicle to bring about Jewish unity and civil justice, to help repair some of the deepest rifts in our society, and to provide an active, exemplary, and unified Torah leadership so lacking in our times.11

On a practical level, the newly formed Sanhedrin focuses on the following key issues:12

• Collect opinions as to the exact location of the Temple on the Temple Mount

• Create unity from all sides of Torah understanding

• Seeking ties with various academic scholars and institutions

• Preparing a renewed priesthood (including the high priest), for the rebuilding of the Third Temple in Jerusalem

New Home for the Sanhedrin?

An incredibly significant ceremony took place 20 December 2017. “The timing of the dedication ceremony was not coincidental – it was held on the seventh night of Hanukkah, which was also Rosh Chodesh.”13 “Rosh Chodesh, the first day of the lunar month, is called literally “the head of the month” and not the “beginning of the month”, because just as the head contains the life-force for all the limbs, so does the first day of each month represent the spiritual ‘life-force’ for the rest of the month.”14 This has deeply spiritual significance. “Whoever pronounces the blessing over the new moon in its due time welcomes, as it were, the presence of the Shechinah.”15

“Immediately following the lighting of the seventh candle of Hanukkah at the Western Wall by the Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi of Jerusalem, Rabbi Aryeh Stern, and Mr. Eli Groner, DirectorGeneral of the Prime Minister’s Office, a new synagogue was inaugurated in the Western Wall tunnels.

“The magnificent $50m synagogue is the result of 12 years of structural support, construction, and archeological work, in which activities were carried out to maintain and preserve the impressive cavern in which it is located in the tunnels. The synagogue is located opposite the ‘Great Stone’ in the Western Wall tunnels, near the site of the Holy of Holies.”16

This new facility has 71 seats in a semi-circle facing a golden “ark.” Sound familiar? The round ark is made of sculpted metal incorporating the letters of the verses “Shema Yisrael,” “Ana Bako’ach” and the “Song of Songs” scroll, with a sculpture of the burning bush.17

Broadening the Reach of the Sanhedrin?

If the summary goal of this new Sanhedrin as described is “a vehicle to bring about Jewish unity and civil justice,”18 how far will the arms of their doctrinal tolerance expand? Do the Kabbalists have a seat among this distinguished body of Talmudic scholars? Will the ancient sons of Ishmael be reunited with the sons of Isaac?

In researching this new synagogue near the Western Wall, my attention was immediately drawn to the Kabbalistic prayer included in the central Torah Ark.

The Ana Beko’ach is hidden within the first 42 letters of the book of Genesis, beginning with the word bereshit and ending with the word vavohoo. Referred to as the 42-letter name of God, the source of the efficacy of this prayer is indicated to us by where it is revealed in the Bible – at the very beginning, in the story of Creation itself. The kabbalists explain that each time we recite the Ana Beko’ach, we return to the time of Creation, and each time we meditate on a particular sequence, we return to the original uncorrupted energy that built the world. By performing the Ana Beko’ach meditation, we enrich our lives with unadulterated spiritual Light and cosmic energy.19

Another interesting development took place in September 2005 when a member of the Sanhedrin presided over the early steps to form a High Council for those in the Noahide movement. Six council members were selected at a small conference held in California. They appeared before the Senhedrin in Jerusalem the following January where they were ordained to form the council.20

Noahidism is a monotheistic Jewish religious movement based upon the Seven Laws of Noah and their traditional interpretations within Orthodox Judaism. The Seven Laws of Noah are:21

• Do not worship idols.

20 https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/90646

21 https://slife.org/noahidism/

• Do not curse God.

• Do not murder.

• Do not commit adultery or sexual immorality.

• Do not steal.

• Do not eat flesh torn from a living animal.

• Establish Courts of Justice to build upon these laws.

According to Jewish law, non-Jews (Gentiles) are not obligated to convert to Judaism, but they are required to observe the Seven Laws of Noah to be assured of a place in the World to Come (Olam Ha-Ba), the final reward of the righteous. The core of Noahide belief revolves around adherence to the Seven Noahide Laws as God’s original covenant with all mankind (prior to the Abrahamic covenant and the subsequent Mosaic covenant with the Jewish people). Following the Noahide laws includes a complete rejection of former Christian beliefs, specifically belief in the divinity of Jesus, which constitutes idolatry and is forbidden according to the Jewish interpretation of the first law, “Do not deny God.”22

It is interesting to note that this new openness to Noahidism means that Muslims are not guilty of idolatry and therefore, they could be included in a wider interpretation of the Abrahamic covenant.

Maimonides (1135–1204) strongly put forth the view that Muslims were not idolaters. Although Islam is considered heresy because Muslims replaced the Torah with the Quran, this did not stop Maimonides from expressing a positive view about Islam - or even about Christianity, which he considered to be idolatry. He ruled that although Islam and Christianity are both in error, they still have some value in that they prepare the world eventually to accept the sovereignty of G-d.23

To demonstrate the early growth of this ecumenical movement based on the principles of Noahidism, “in April 2006, the spiritual leader of the Druze community in Israel, Sheikh Mowafak Tarif, met with a representative of Chabad-Lubavitch (a branch of Hasidic Judaism) to sign a declaration calling on all non-Jews in Israel to observe the Noahide

22 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noahidism

23 http://www.wikinoah.org/en/index.php/Islam_and_Noahite_Law

Laws. The mayor of the Galilean city of Shefa-‘Amr (Shfaram) — where Muslim, Christian, and Druze communities live side-by-side — also signed the document.”24

All man-controlled ecumenical efforts are ultimately drawn into the vortex of the lowest common denominator, which naturally diminishes distinction in the interest of unity. Through this view of unity, differences are viewed as destructive. Therefore, any who are outside of the accepted, ecumenically defined, inner circle are considered dissidents and are marginalized for the overall good of unity. Remember, danger lies where discernment is lost.

One Name for All

Above the Torah Ark in this new synagogue is a crown made up of the Hebrew Shiviti, which states,

Shiviti YHVH l’negdi tamid

“I have set YHVH before me at all times” — the first part of Psalm 16:8.

Photo by Hannah McMaster.

Proponents of this meditative chant say, “Given the fact that the Torah forbids impressing our imaginations with illustrations of the divine, some other method is necessary to perceive divine Oneness. Because the object of any given practice is to condition behavior through repetition, the practice of perceiving the world as an expression of divine Oneness can begin as soon as one gains consciousness, and this is where Psalms 16:8 [the Shiviti] enters into the morning liturgy.”25

One must forever keep in mind the Creator’s omnipresence and that His Shechinah is with you at all times. One must always be joyful, keeping in mind and believing with absolute faith that the Shechinah is with him and guards him; he is bound up with the Creator, and the Creator is bound up with him in all his limbs and faculties. He looks upon the Creator, and the Creator looks upon him. All good things, as well as judgments in the world, are rooted in G-d, for His effluence and vitality are in everything; thus, I trust but in Him, and fear but Him, blessed be He.26

Each time I visit Israel, I am increasingly confronted by those who honestly believe that the ultimate role of religion in Israel is to bring about world unity and, thereby, peace. Many of my Jewish friends now refer to the G-d of the Bible as “the Creator,” thus avoiding the snare of using a specific name that might offend the hearer.

What IF…

• This new Synagogue in Jerusalem is the home of the new Sanhedrin?

• The new Sanhedrin appoints a nasi that is seen as a “man of peace?

• This new nasi can draw in the other monotheist religions of the world, including Islam and Christianity?

• This new Sanhedrin achieves its goal of bringing world peace by uniting the world’s religions?

• This new nasi convinces these world religious leaders to forgo the idea of building a literal Jewish Temple on the Temple

26 https://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/115049/jewish/G-d-Consciousness.htm

Mount in lieu of an alternative metaphysical solution?

• This new nasi introduces the idea that animal sacrifices are no longer necessary?

• This new nasi produces many miracles that amaze the nations?

• This new nasi declares before the Sanhedrin that “he is god” standing in this holy place?

One more thought for you to consider. I have been told that this new Synagogue is called “Shaare Teshuva” which literally means “gates of return.”

The word Teshuvah is usually translated as repentance. But this translation is not entirely accurate. Teshuvah is better translated as ‘return’ and signifies a return to the original state. Kabbalistically, Teshuvah takes on more of a cosmic dynamic. The word Teshuvah in Hebrew may be read ‘tashuv hey,’ literally” ‘returning the letter Hey.’ The last letter Hey of the Tetragrammaton refers to Malchut (Kingdom). Malchut is synonymous with Shechinah, which is how G-d manifests Himself as a sovereign within the creation.27

So, if we put all of this together, we have a new Sanhedrin, presiding in a new synagogue named “Shaare Teshuva” which mystically means “Gates of the Return of the Shechinah.”

No one can know with absolute certainty what the future holds. In the Olivet Discourse, Jesus gave this simple eschatological advice to His disciples, “Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near. So, you also when you see all these things, know that it is near--at the doors!”28

The critical thinker as embodied in the Sons of Issachar will not reach a hasty conclusion on these matters. Further investigation and discovery will refine or refute the implications suggested by this article.

KABBALAH AND THE RISE OF MYSTICISM

Whether disillusioned by the self-imposed blinders and myopia of contemporary “science,” or frustrated by the moral bankruptcy of unbridled materialism, increasing numbers of desperate people are now seeking “answers” outside the realm of natural phenomena and are pursuing the supernatural. The anguished plea of the disenfranchised now begs the question, “Is there anyone out there?”

Beyond the beguiling allure of many contemporary forms of ancient paganism, such as the New Age, Wicca, and others, many people have become attracted to a form of Hebrew mysticism known as Kabbalah. The popular press is speckled with articles of prominent Hollywood personalities who have taken up a popular contemporary version of Kabbalah.

( Kabbalah originally simply designated “received tradition.” Now, generically, it refers to Jewish mysticism in all its forms. Denotatively, however, it refers specifically to the esoteric theosophy that crystallized in 13th century Spain and Provence, France.)

It is particularly paradoxical to find these occultic practices embedded within Judaism, despite the numerous explicit prohibitions against all forms of the occult recorded throughout the very Torah that is so highly venerated among the Jews. It is essential to explore the current resurgence of Kabbalah within a broader historical perspective.

Judaism Redefined

Having rejected Jesus Christ as the Messiah, and enduring the subsequent destruction of the Temple in A.D. 70, Mosaic Judaism was faced with a serious dilemma: the Torah, and all its related practices, had emphasized

article was originally published “The Kabbalah,” in 2005.

that “without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sins.” How could there be a continuation of the prescribed sacrifices without an altar and a Temple?

This, and other related issues, resulted in the Council of Jamnia in A.D. 90, which began redefining Judaism and led to the formulation of the Talmud (3rd - 6th centuries) and what is known as the Geonic Era (7th - 11th centuries).

The Talmud

The Talmud is a body of Jewish civil and religious law, including commentaries on the Torah, or Pentateuch, and oral laws handed down through tradition. It consists of a codification of laws, called the Mishnah, and a commentary on the Mishnah, called the Gemara.

The Talmud also includes materials which concern decisions by scholars on disputed legal questions known as the Halakhah (from Hebrew, “to go”). The illustrations and amplifications of the ethical, political, and religious principles involved in the laws are set down in the Haggada.

Two compilations of the Talmud exist: the Jerusalem Talmud (3rd - 5th century A.D.), and the Babylonian Talmud (3rd - 6th century A.D.). Both compilations contain the same Mishnah, but each has its own Gemara.

The Babylonian Talmud became authoritative because the rabbinic academies of Babylonia survived those in Palestine by many centuries (and is referred to in the “Geonic Era”).

After the completion of the Talmud, the Halakhah continued to develop as it was applied to new situations by rabbinical authorities. The Haggada also continued to develop, in the form of compilations, commentaries, and mystical and moral literature.

One of the most important of the works of Talmudic scholarship is the Mishneh Torah by the Spanish rabbi, philosopher, and physician Maimonides; it is an abstract of all the rabbinical legal literature in existence at his time. Among the most widely known commentaries are those on the Babylonian Talmud by the French rabbi Rashi and by

certain scholars known as tosaphists, who lived in France and Germany between the 12th and 14th centuries.

The epistemological problems emerge from an excessive veneration of the scholastic commentators over the text itself. This lengthening tether reaches its extremes in the imaginative conjectures that emerged among the Kabbalistic scholars of the 11th and 12th centuries and subsequently.

It is interesting to note that there emerged a Jewish sect in the 8th century known as the Karaites who clung to the strict interpretations of the Scriptures, rejecting the Talmud and the rabbinical traditions that had been incorporated during the first six centuries.

Considered heretical by “Orthodox” Jews, in Czarist Russia they were exempted from abuses such as the double taxation, the pogroms, etc., that fell on Talmudic Judaism.1

Kabbalah Emerges

One of the basic works that was to impact all subsequent mystical movements in Judaism is the Sefer ha-Zohar, (or Zohar for short). This monumental work was composed by Moses de Len (born in Lon, Spain), who lived in Guadalajara, former Spanish kingdom of Castile, until 1290, and thereafter led a life of wandering. De Len was a prolific writer, completely immersed in mysticism. The Zohar, his greatest work, was written over 30 years, in Aramaic.

To lend greater weight to the doctrines expressed in his book, de Len ascribed it to a legendary Palestinian scholar, Shimon ben Yohai, claiming that a Spanish-Jewish scholar and mystic named Moses ben Nahman had found the book in a cave in which Shimon and his son Eleazor had once hid from Roman persecution. When Moses tried to send the book to his son in Catalonia, de Len claims he intercepted it and began making copies, which he then circulated among the learned.

However, de Len failed in this attempt to hide his authorship. Even in his own lifetime a Palestinian mystic, doubting the authenticity and

1 Today there are some 30,000 Karaites, concentrated largely in Israel; small communities are also found in the United States, Poland, France, and Turkey.

antiquity of the Zohar, came to the royal court at nearby Valladolid to investigate the matter. De Len promised to produce the original copy, but he died before the question of his veracity could be settled. Since the 16th century, considerable evidence has definitely established de Lens authorship of this unique book, which for more than six centuries has exercised a far-reaching influence on Judaism.

The Zohar depicts the Godhead as a dynamic flow of force composed of numerous aspects. Above and beyond all human contemplation is God as he is in himself, the unknowable, immutable Ein-Sof (Infinite “Nothingness”).

Other aspects or attributes, knowable through Gods relation to the created world, emanate from Ein-Sof in a configuration of ten sefirot (realms or planes), through which the divine power further radiates to create the cosmos. Zoharic theosophy concentrates on the nature and interaction of these ten sefirot as symbols of the inner life and processes of the Godhead (see following diagram).

Although subject to some variations in some of the Kabbalistic literature, the ten sefirot are typically:

Because the sefirot are viewed as archetypes for everything in the world of creation, an understanding of their workings ostensibly illuminate the inner workings of the entire cosmos and all of history. The Zohar thereby provides a cosmic-symbolic interpretation of Judaism, and of the history of Israel, in which the Torah and commandments - as well as Israels life in exile - become symbols for events and processes in the inner life of God. Thus interpreted, the proper observance of the commandments by man assumes a cosmic significance.

Right at the outset, the concept of Ein-Sof is, among other things, a tragic attempt to depersonalize God. In contrast to the unknowable, capricious (and thus, untrustworthy) Allah of the Quran, or the unknowable nothingness (their words) of Ein-Sof, the YHWH of the Old Testament is a God who delights in making - and keeping - His promises!

(Furthermore, any attempt to chart the inner life of the Godhead, by means of the sefirot or any other, is akin to uncovering the Fathers nakedness, a sin of grave disrespect emphasized in the Tenach itself!2) The disciplines of Kabbalah include meditative practices that promise to enable individuals to share and participate in the diverse dimensions of Gods being. [Similar to the claims of New Age aspirants as well.]

Kabbalistic discipline was understood to be limited to a rarefied elite who were profoundly learned in the main texts of Talmudic Judaism prior to their immersion in Kabbalistic studies. Kabbalistic communities soon developed, generally organized as secret societies of disciples that gathered around a specially gifted mystical teacher (Tziddik). Such communities soon spread from Spain and France to Northern and Eastern Europe and to the Mediterranean basin. By the mid-16th century on, Kabbalah had an increasingly broad appeal among learned Jews, especially in Eastern Europe under the influence of Rabbi Isaac Luria.

16th-century Lurianic Kabbalah (named for its formulator, Isaac ben Solomon Luria) developed dramatically the cosmic aspect of the Zohar. The Lurianic system represented a response to the cataclysmic experience

2 Genesis 9:22-27; 2 Samuel 16:22; et al.

of Jewish exiles expelled from Iberia in the 1490s3 and it projected this experience onto the divine world.

In this system, the Ein-Sof withdrew into itself (tzimtzum) at the outset of creation, making room for the world, but also for evil. A cosmic catastrophe occurred during emanation when vessels of the divine light shattered and the sparks were imprisoned in the world in shards of evil (qelippot).

Luria held that God, as well as Israel, was in need of redemption from exile, and that humanity was assigned the critical role in the cosmic drama of redemption (tiqqun). The human task, through prayer and proper observance of the commandments, becomes nothing less than the redemption (tiqqun) of the world and the reunification of the Godhead.

(It would seem that without you and me, God wont be able to get His act together!? Get serious. However, there was, indeed, a man assigned the critical role in this cosmic drama who was, indeed, fully qualified, worthy, and capable for the role. He is presently sitting on His Fathers throne as you read this.)

Lurias thought provided the basis for transforming Kabbalah into a popular, messianic movement that infused the rabbinic traditions and affected all Jewry, paving the way for Sabbatian messianism (after Sabbatai Zevi) in the 17th century and Hasidism in the 18th century.

Hasidic Judaism

In the Hebrew Bible, the word hasid usually refers to a pious or righteous person.4 (The plural is hasidim). This usage continues in later Jewish writings. By the 11th and 12th centuries, however, the term hasid implied a person involved in a specifically mystical form of contemplative piety.

As such, it came to be applied to a group of German Jewish mystics known as the Hasidei Ashkenaz (German Pietists). The Hasidei Ashkenaz became known for rigorous ascetic practices, such as sleep-deprivation exercises, fasting, and bathing during winter in freezing streams. These

3 Columbus and his crew had to depart by midnight, August 3, 1492. Cf. Personal UPDATE, August 1996.

4 Psalm 32:6.

practices were designed to suppress the power of physical appetites “for sleep, food, and warmth, for example”and to place the body under the dominion of the soul as it strove for intimate knowledge of God.

Hasidism, as we know it today, developed in the mid-18th century in Eastern Europe from the Kabbalah , and continues today in dozens of Hasidic communities around the world. Some communities consist of only a few hundred members in isolated Jewish neighborhoods of New York City, Los Angeles, and Jerusalem. Other Hasidic groups, such as the Satmar Hasidim and the Chabad-Lubavitch Hasidim, have an international membership numbering in the tens of thousands.

All of these communities trace their origins to a single individual, 18thcentury rabbi Israel ben Eliezer, better known to the Jewish world as the Baal Shem Tov (Hebrew for Master of the Divine Name). Through his use of the name of God, the Baal Shem Tov was believed to perform miraculous cures.

Alphanumeric Gymnastics

In Kabbalah, great importance is attached to manifold manipulations of letters and numbers, particularly those involved in many of the Names of God, to which are ascribed magical properties. They believe that concealed within the stories and laws of the Torah are secret guides to the mysterious powers hidden in the various names of God and to the creative force of the letters of the Hebrew alphabet.

(The manipulation of the numeric values attached to the alphabet is called Gametria, and there are virtually unlimited varieties of rules for their use. A study of gematria will quickly demonstrate the proverb within the computer industry that, if you torture the data long enough, it will eventually confess to anything!)

Strangely, we owe a debt for some of the discoveries of the Kabbalistic scholarship over the centuries. It was the esoteric skills of the Jewish Kabbalists who were attached to the courts of Europe that developed the techniques of cryptology which emerged during the Renaissance.

These techniques led to mechanical aids, ultimately culminating in the Enigma coding machines of the Germans during World War II which, in turn, accelerated the development of the computers to defeat them - by John Von Neuman in the U.S. and Alan Turing in Great Britain.

These computers, in turn, have now led to the rediscovery of some of the astonishing properties of the Biblical text that has caused such sensationalism - some valid, much fanciful - today.5

Occult Practices

Anyone with a modicum of Biblical literacy should realize that occult practices are expressly prohibited in the Scriptures. Scripture condemns by name spiritism, mediumism (channeling), and necromancy,6 and various forms of sorcery and divination,7 including astrology8 and magic.9 In ancient Israel, divination was a capital crime; if someone was caught casting a horoscope, or other occultic practice, they were put to death. Why?

Because God is jealous of His uniqueness, and He alone knows what the future holds.10 To intrude on His office is to attempt to intrude on His glory.11 Occult activity also courts deception and betrayal from the demonic realm, and promotes evil under the guise of legitimate religious practice. Occult involvement will eventually lead to judgment for those who refuse to forsake it.12

This subject has not gone away. On the contrary, much new evidence has surfaced with global implications.

Chuck explores the Biblical relevance and disturbing agenda of the apparent extraterrestrial life forms that have been forcing themselves into our global consciousness and reveals their most disturbing agenda.

Angels Series - DVD

Approx. Run-time: 6 hours

For thousands of years, most of us have either had, or still hold to misconceptions, myths, legends or traditions about angels and our own reality.

• Are Angels real?

• What are the discoveries in the advance of science that may shed light on understanding Angels?

• What does the Bible say about Angels, Fallen Angels, Cherubim, Seraphim, Nephilim and Demons?

COMMENTARY HANDBOOK

by Chuck Missler

Note:

New Revised Edition (2020)

The Book of Revelation is the only book of the Bible with a Promise to the reader! Why? What makes this book so special?

Revelation is a "lens" that puts the entire Bible into focus. The lens is focused on the person of Jesus Christ, and his destiny is imminent. This is a book of victory: We are overcomers! We are the ultimate winners in the game of life!

(I read the ending: we win!)

One of the reasons this book strikes us as strange is because of our lack of understanding concerning the Old Testament. The Book of Revelation consists of 404 verses that contain over 800 allusions to the Old Testament. These are detailed, along with Chuck's analysis of the design and structure of this fascinating book. Learn about the past, present and future of the Church and our ultimate destiny. This is an ideal "first study" and foundational for every Christian.

This is a Study Companion for the Revelation Commentary.

Koinonia Institute is an online Bible Institute with a focus on verseby-verse study where serious Christians can grow in knowledge, understanding, awareness and commitment!

Here at KI, we delve into the relevance and reliability of Scripture, and help you focus on discovering God’s call on your life.

Whether you have years of Bible training or are just beginning your spiritual journey, the curriculum here will challenge you to see the harvest and ask the Lord of the Harvest to send you into His fields (Matthew 9:37-38).

Chuck Missler deeply believed that the Church in the end times would need to be “self-feeders.” In his teaching series on the Once and Future Church, Chuck emphasized the fact that the best place to practically learn the Bible is within a small group of believers who are all dedicated to taking the Bible seriously.
