Introduction: The Leaven of Kabbalah
And my speech and my preaching was not with
enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in

faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in
the power of God.
1 Corinthians 2:4-5
Paradigm Shift – an important change that happens when
the usual way of thinking about or doing something is
replaced by a new and different way; a fundamental
change.

Reading the title of this book, one might ask, why do


Christians need to know the secrets of Kabbalah? For the
last several decades the Church has been the particular
target of a massive flood of books and teachings on
mysticism, specifically in the form of Jewish mysticism or
Kabbalah. The result of this demonic campaign has been a
“departure from the faith,” as many Christians are now
looking to the wisdom of the rabbis for answers to their
spiritual questions.
Like the gnostics, the kabbalists view secret knowledge as
the path to immortality. Mingled with biblical terminology,
these secrets are subtly presented as a means of
discovering one’s hidden destiny and as a way of becoming
more like God. Even as mystical teachings are being
covertly brought into the Church, what is more astonishing
is that many rabbis are openly proclaiming Kabbalah as the
only salvation of the world and that this salvation can only
be brought about by a global adherence to the law.
This book will attempt to uncover the deception by giving a
detailed description of what Kabbalah is and equip believers
to recognize it in its morphed form of Christianity. It will also
demonstrate that the god of today’s Babylonian and
kabbalistic Judaism is not the God of the Bible and that the
current convergence of Christians coming under rabbinic
authority will bring them, not to the one true God of the
Bible, but to the subservience of the god of Kabbalah – Ein
Sof – and to its hierarchy of gods.
The two main sources for Jewish doctrine are The
Babylonian Talmud and Kabbalah. The Babylonian Talmud is
a commentary on the Mishnah, an extensive collection of
Jewish legends, fables, and oral law which is considered in
some branches of Judaism as divinely inspired as the Old
Testament. Kabbalah has been defined as a mystical
commentary on the Torah. The word Kabbalah means to
receive and may be viewed as the umbrella under which all
Jewish esoteric books are contained. The primary texts of
Kabbalah are the Zohar (The Book of Splendour) and the
Sefer Yetzirah (The Book of Formation). There are also lesser
writings with such titles as The Book of Mysteries, The Gate
of Reincarnations, and the widely known third Book of Enoch
(3 Enoch).
The Babylonian Talmud has aptly been called the sea of
Talmud for its endless debates on Torah interpretation, as
every word and every letter can have seventy meanings. As
an extension of the Talmud, Kabbalah is sometimes referred
to as the wine of Torah, so named for the distillation process
of knowledge whereby the initiate undergoes a spiritual
transmutation process likened to the art of the medieval
alchemist in his secret laboratory. What is important to
understand is that Kabbalah cannot be separated from its
Babylonian origins and is considered a vital part of Judaism:
“Some modern exponents of the Kabbalah claim that
it is a separate religion, distinct from Judaism. This
claim is not only untrue, it is self-destructive…The
Kabbalists call Jewish mysticism the Pardes, meaning
‘The Garden’… Kabbalah is a living, breathing
spirituality that is nourished by the rich soil of Jewish
wisdom and practice…While one can taste the
teachings of Kabbalah even without being
particularly observant of Judaism, you can't detach it
from its source. Kabbalah is the heart of Judaism.” (i)
This book will further show that the god of Kabbalah is none
other than Lucifer, the serpent and angel of light, whom the
sages prophesy will restore knowledge to humanity on a
global scale, just as he did in Genesis. The Kabbalah reveals
the identity of its god as an imposter and usurper from the
beginning, as seen in this quote from the Zohar: “He is the
great Beginning, the mystery of all mysteries… the
great source of all being and creation, the primal
light that enlighteneth every man that cometh into
the world.” (ii) While there are many forms of Jewish
mysticism entering the Church, none stand out more than
Rabbi Itzhak Shapira’s book, The Return of the Kosher Pig.
Before reading the book, I had yet to encounter a more
overtly kabbalistic objective of the Kingdom of God as
presented by Shapira and set forth by the rabbis of
Kabbalah, who sadly for the most part rejected Jesus Christ
as the Messiah.
I first heard of Rabbi Shapira in a video interview discussing
his book. Many of his statements were deeply disturbing,
such as the claim that when Yeshua returns He will destroy
Edom; those Christians who are not aligned with the current
state of Israel. I found this statement by Shapira to be
completely unwarranted because the security of the
believer in Jesus rests on the testimony of Christ and His
atonement on the cross for sin, not on an individual’s
political alignments in this world.
Much of the subject material in Shapira’s book is deeply
rooted in the kabbalistic tenets of past Jewish sages. Since
reading the book, my concerns have only increased. Among
his strange doctrines, Shapira draws on an array of rabbinic
sources to show that Yeshua is Metatron; the (fallen) angel
who gives knowledge to mankind and a prominent figure in
the writings of Kabbalah and the Babylonian Talmud. Equally
disturbing is Shapira’s consistent use of gematria (Jewish
divination) and his definition of redemption, which echoes
the voices of the rabbis before him, as will be explained in
the book.
Since the time I saw that first interview, Shapira has shared
platforms with some of today’s leading Evangelical Christian
personalities, all of whom adhere to the popular message of
a political Zionist Israel-centered gospel versus the
incorruptible gospel of Jesus Christ, Who is the fulfillment of
all Scripture (See Luke 24:44-47).
As with any work on this subject, many will label the book as
anti-Semitic, when in reality it is simply a compilation of
kabbalistic methods of enlightenment which are based on
doctrines of demons. If the book bears any label, it is anti-
Babylonian mysticism, anti-Kabbalah, and most of all, anti-
luciferian.
In 1 Corinthians 1:19, the Apostle Paul referenced the
prophecy of Isaiah 29:14 that the “foolishness” of preaching
the cross is the power of God to both “destroy the wisdom
of the wise” and to “save them that believe.”
Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous
work among this people, even a marvellous work and
a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall
perish, and the understanding of their prudent men
shall be hid.
The wisdom of Kabbalah cannot be received without
drinking from the cup of Babylon, as Kabbalah imposes a
mystical, esoteric interpretation into the Scriptures. It is
chilling to note that the rabbis repeatedly relate stories from
kabbalistic literature – the same sources Shapira references
in his book – which describe degrees of initiation in which
the adept must journey past the seven heavens and through
the doorways of the seven palaces by means of “secret
names and seals…either upon his person or in his mind.”
(iii) The Church today is at a crossroads, as one of the best-
selling Bibles among Christians is The Israel Bible; a Bible
without Jesus. (iv) The Bible warns of false prophets and
teachers secretly bringing in heresies to the point of
denying the Lord Jesus. (2 Peter 2:1) 1 John 4:1-6 tells us
that we are to test the spirits of truth and error, because
many false prophets are gone out into the world. In
Revelation 2:2 Jesus commended the church of Ephesus for
“testing” those who claimed to be apostles and found them
to be liars.
The same holds true today. Growing within the Church is a
wide body of rabbis who impress audiences with their
extensive knowledge of ancient mysteries that are hidden in
Scripture. What is not easily discerned is that these
mysteries are rooted in the traditions of Babylonian and
kabbalistic doctrines which arose out of Egyptian and
Chaldean occultism. It stands to reason, therefore, that
these same teachers, “illuminated” in esoteric Judaism,
must also understand the “dark sentences” of the craft of
Kabbalah.
Step by step we are witnessing a gradual META-morphosis –
a transformation – of the Gospel in which the centrality of
the position of Jesus Christ in Scripture is slowly being
replaced by another gospel, another spirit, another Jesus,
another kingdom; and the voice of the Bridegroom still calls,
“Come out of her My people.”
Chapter 1
The Transformation

I will praise You with my whole heart; Before the


gods I will sing praises to You. I will worship toward
Your holy temple, and praise Your name. For Your
lovingkindness and Your truth; For You have
magnified Your word above all Your name.
Psalm 138: 1-2

Transform – mĕtaschēmatizō; (from the root word


mĕta), to transfigure or disguise; a metamorphosis,
to change, convert, transmute; an alchemical change
in substance.
But I fear, lest somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve
by his craftiness, so your minds may be corrupted
from the simplicity that is in Christ. For if he who
comes preaches another Jesus whom we have not
preached, or if you receive a different spirit which
you have not received, or a different gospel which
you have not accepted—you may well put up with it…
For such are false apostles, deceitful workers,
transforming themselves into apostles of Christ. And
no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into
an angel of light.
Paul, Apostle of Jesus Christ – 2 Corinthians 11:3-4,
13-14
“In the six hundredth year of the sixth millennium
(5600 = 1840 C.E.) the gates of wisdom above
[Kabbalah] together with the wellsprings of wisdom
below [science] will be opened up, and the world will
prepare to usher in the seventh millennium.” Zohar
(VaYeira 117a) 1
The Moshiach of Kabbalah = Yeshua = Metatron =
Another Jesus The Return of the Kosher Pig by Rabbi Itzhak
Shapira is one of the latest attempts to initiate Christians
into Kabbalah by disclosing Jewish mysticism in an orthodox
light. The premise of the book is to reveal the divine nature
of the Messiah, Yeshua, concealed within the rabbinic
writings of Jewish sages, including the Babylonian Talmud,
the Kabbalah, the Midrash and other extra-biblical writings.
In his presentation of Yeshua as the prophesied divine
Messiah, Rabbi Shapira delves deep into the occult
teachings of Kabbalah and the antichrist writings of the
Babylonian Talmud. The inevitable course of this approach
will inherently lead to another gospel and another Jesus.
In 2 Corinthians 11:3 the Apostle Paul warns the church of
another Jesus and another gospel. In Galatians 1:8 Paul
wrote, “But though we or an angel preach any other gospel,
let him be accursed.” As ministers of the Gospel, neither
Paul nor any of the apostles ever wavered from the sure
foundation of Moses and the prophets having their complete
fulfillment in Jesus Christ, the Messiah. There was no trading
off or compromise with doctrines of demons such as those
presented in The Return of the Kosher Pig. When Kabbalah
speaks of the coming Moshiach (Messiah) it is never
speaking about Jesus Christ, nor is Jesus Christ the Messiah
spoken of in the Babylonian Talmud. The “prophecies” of the
sages that Shapira references in his book all point to the
coming of a Messiah that is not Jesus Christ, therefore he is
antichrist.
In the first section of the book titled, “To the Reader,”
Shapira introduces himself as a rabbi holding a rabbinic
ordination through IAMCS (International Alliance of
Messianic Congregations and Synagogues) but stresses the
point that he has “no connection or relationship to
Christianity other than following the same Messiah.” (p. xi)
Using “holy Hebrew manuscripts and traditions” as his
foundation, Shapira says his desire is to present a “Kosher
Yeshua”…‘The Pig,’ “through a Jewish lens,” stating that
“there is great significance in the name Yeshua rather than
Jesus.” (pp. xi-xii) In the introduction to his book, Shapira
begins by building a kabbalistic frame of reference on how
the “Kingdom of God” will be manifested on earth.
Kabbalists believe that there is a divine spark (nitzotz) of
God within every person and within all of creation. This is
New Age panentheism – God in everything and everyone.
The Kabbalah teaches that at the fall in the Garden of Eden,
the divine sparks were scattered and that the Messiah will
only come when the sparks (specifically the scattered Jews)
are gathered back to the land of Israel. Shapira explains: “…
the two conditions needed to bring the Kingdom of God
to earth and to bring Jewish souls or “sparks” back to God.
In Jewish thought, the Messiah will only appear when the
truth (“lights”) presents itself in the proper context
(“tools”)…The restoration and salvation of all of Israel and
the entire world is dependent upon the restoration of the
divine Jewish sparks back to HaShem…The truth by
itself…about the nature of the Messiah will not bring him
and his kingdom to us. His kingdom will be established
when all of the Jewish sparks will be gathered again.” (p. 4;
Emphasis, italics added) It is clear that Shapira is steeped in
the traditions of Jewish mysticism, the same traditions for
which Jesus condemned the religious Pharisees of His time.
And while Shapira presents this kabbalistic fable to his
readers as “kosher,” he fails to reveal the full spectrum of
this false teaching; that at the fall, the Messiah of the
Kabbalah himself fell into the abyss, that he too is in exile,
and will only be released from the pit when there is a critical
mass of “sparks” calling for him to come forth on the earth!
Shapira also infers that we need the mediation and mystical
writings of the rabbinic sages of old in order to properly
understand the Bible. He states, “In my opinion, the method
of presenting Yeshua as the Jewish Messiah needs to be
reevaluated…Some believe that proclaiming the words of
the Bible itself is sufficient…I do agree that the Bible holds
the ultimate truth, but are we to ignore external resources
[Kabbalah, Babylonian Talmud, etc.] that describe the nature
of the Messiah…In searching out these truths, I suggest that
the proper context is completely lost unless we use an
approved understanding of the word.” (p. 8, Emphases
added) After establishing an approved framework for his
readers to better understand messianic prophecy, Shapira
then sets the stage for the case of the Kosher Pig by quoting
rabbinic sages whose writings say that in the Messianic era
the pig will become kosher again. In other words, “The pig
will return to Israel,” Yeshua will be welcomed by the world
and will rule the nations from a utopian Jewish kingdom on
earth. (p.12) To support his thesis, Shapira introduces his
readers to Pardes, also spelled PaRDeS. On page 27 of his
book he asks, “…how are we to interpret the Hebrew
Scriptures?” He answers this question, saying, “…the
Hebrew Bible has left much room for interpretation…Judaism
has defined a systematic method of interpreting the
scriptures over the course of centuries known as Pardes,”
adding that “it [Pardes] represents the keys to
understanding the kingdom of heaven.”
The word Pardes means paradise or garden and refers to the
Garden of Eden (PaRaDiSe). It is an acronym for the words
p’shat, remez, drash and sod. According to Orthodox or
Hasidic Judaism, there are four levels or layers of
interpreting the Bible. P’shat is the first layer and refers to
the surface or plain meaning of the text. Remez relates to
hints or what is implied below the surface. Drash or midrash
means to dig deeper while focusing on the writings of the
sages. Sod is the fourth level. The word sod means “secret”
and refers to the hidden, esoteric meaning. The practice of
sod requires immersion into the occult practices of Kabbalah
and Shapira does not hesitate to reveal this to his readers:
“The word Sod literally means ‘a secret’…One example of
the ‘Torah of Sod’ is Gematria…the Kabbalah and the Zohar
are Sod terms that are familiar to those within Orthodox
circles. According to Orthodox Judaism, Sod represents the
highest pinnacle of Jewish study and requires great care…
the main contributor to what later became known as the
book of the Zohar, Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai, introduced
midrash and sod (secrets) to bring a unique perspective and
Jewish understanding to the concept of the Messiah…
Kabbalah is a generic term for the Torah of Sod or the
secrets, which includes the Zohar, among other resources.”
(p. 31) While Shapira is careful to stress to his readers that
the “words of the Hebrew Bible are the only authoritative
words that are divinely inspired,” he contradicts himself
later by saying, “However, our tools must be expanded
beyond the Tanach (Torah, Prophets, and Writings)…In
order to understand the Scriptures and come into the
kingdom of God, one has to apply these four methods
of interpretation.” (pp. 27, 29, Emphasis added) So, in
order to come into the kingdom of God, we must apply this
secret method of biblical interpretation?
Shapira also informs us that there is a 5th level of Pardes
called Remez HaRemezim – the “secret of secrets” – and
that this level will only be revealed by the Messiah upon his
return. “This level of Torah understanding will remain locked
until the Messiah’s arrival.” (pp. 31-32) To illustrate this
system of secret wisdom, Shapira provides us with the
occult image of the Kabbalah tree of knowledge with its
roots penetrating below the surface of the earth; the
esoteric symbol of As Above, So Below. A Hasidic Jewish
website explains: “One of the promises regarding the
Messianic Redemption concerns the Torah we will then
study: “A new Torah will emit from Me” (Midrash Rabbah
Leviticus based on Isaiah 51:4. In fact, “The Torah which we
study in this world is naught in comparison to the Torah of
Moshiach”… Nevertheless, while there is only one Torah,
this Torah is multi-layered…The deepest of the four
general dimensions of the Torah is sod, the esoteric
teachings of the Torah, also known as kabbalah.
Moshiach will teach a hitherto untapped level of
kabbalah.” 2
How do these claims by Shapira and other “rabbinic sages”
compare with Jesus Christ, who is the same yesterday,
today and forever? Do they stand up to the incorruptible
Word of God? No, they do not!
And when they say to you, “Seek those who are
mediums and wizards, who whisper and mutter,”
should not a people seek their God? Should they seek
the dead on behalf of the living? Isaiah 8:19
Jewish mystics refer to Sod as the Torah of Sod; sod
meaning secret. This is because in Orthodox Judaism the
word Torah encompasses not just the Torah of the Bible, but
all of the writings of the Jewish sages throughout history and
Shapira references these occult writings on a consistent
basis to defend his case for the “kosher pig” Messiah.
The Torah of Sod is Kabbalah. Simply stated, Kabbalah is
sorcery. It is consulting with demons to obtain secret
knowledge, a practice forbidden by God in Deuteronomy 18.
It is man’s vain attempt to return to the paradise of the
Garden of Eden through the kabbalistic tree of knowledge of
good and evil. On page 27 of his book, Shapira states,
“Pardes usually refers to the ‘Secrets of Torah’ within
Judaism – the things that are hidden. The sages believed
that in order to get to Paradise (PaRaDiSe), one must get
more deeply into the Torah and understand its deepest
meaning.” (Parentheses added) Because the knowledge of
sod comes from the “serpent” and is satanic at its root, it is
no surprise that the rabbis give a stern warning regarding
the spiritual dangers involved. The occult practice utilizes
gematria (numerology); changing and rearranging the order
of the letters and words of Scripture to find a hidden
meaning within the text. Sod also involves a transformation
of one’s consciousness through mystical meditation,
breathing exercises and repetition of “the divine name.” The
name that is primarily used to ascend the Kabbalah Sefirot
tree of knowledge is Metatron. Metatron is a fallen angel
and this is who Shapira – through rabbinic writings –
identifies as Yeshua.
And they shall turn away their ears from the truth,
and shall be turned unto fables. 2 Timothy 4:4
Having established a thoroughly kabbalistic “framework” for
the case of the kosher pig, Shapira attempts to validate the
authority of the Babylonian Oral Torah. Using a 19th- century
Hebrew translation of the New Testament, Shapira misleads
his readers by telling them that the word “traditions” in 2
Thessalonians 2:15 is the word kabbalot, which is the plural
of kabbalah. This is a prime example of twisting the
Scriptures in order to deceive. (2 Peter 3:16) In his letter to
the Thessalonians, the Apostle Paul tells the church to
“stand fast, and hold the traditions” which they have been
taught either by word or by letters. The word which Paul
used is the Greek word paradosis and refers specifically to
the Jewish precepts and ordinances given to them by God,
not man. In his letter to the Corinthian church, Paul speaks
of renouncing the hidden things of dishonesty, not handling
the Word of God deceitfully. (2 Corinthians 4:2) However,
in sharp contrast to Paul’s words, Shapira notes: “The
Hebrew word that Delitzsch used to translate ‘traditions’
here is ‫( קבלות‬kabbalot). The word kabbalot (plural of
kabbalah) literally means ‘to receive’…some of the kabalot
were passed, not only by the written word, but also by the
words that were spoken and the traditions passed by word
of mouth...We often refer to that in Judaism as…(the Oral
Torah).” 3
The Talmud is the oral tradition endeared by the Pharisees,
for which Jesus so harshly rebuked them. In Mark chapter 7
Jesus, quoting the prophet Isaiah, said to the Pharisees,
“Howbeit in vain do they worship Me, teaching for doctrines
the commandments of men. For laying aside the
commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men…
Making the word of God of no effect through your tradition,
which you have handed down.” (Mark 7:7-8, 13) Michael
Rodkinson, author of The History of the Talmud, states, “The
Talmud then, is the written form of that which in the time of
Jesus was called the Traditions of the Elders, and to which
he makes frequent allusions.” 4
The warnings Jesus gave to His disciples apply to us today:
“Then Jesus said to them, Take heed and beware of the
leaven of the Pharisees and the Sadducees…Then they
understood that He did not tell them to beware of the
leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and
Sadducees.” (Matthew 16:6 & 12) Yet, on page 45 of his
book, Shapira encourages his readers to treat the Oral Torah
– the Babylonian Talmud and Kabbalah – with “great
respect.” This brings us to the most disturbing part of
Shapira’s book.
Chapter 2
Enter Metatron, Prince of the Kabbalists

Let no man beguile you of your reward by delighting


in false humility and worshipping of angels, intruding
into those things which he hath not seen, vainly
puffed up by his fleshly mind. And not holding fast to
the Head.
Colossians 2:18
In his “Glossary of Hebrew Terms” Itzhak Shapira defines
Metatron as “One of the names of the Messiah based on
rabbinical writing.” (p. 289) Drawing from the mystical
interpretations of the Oral Torah, Shapira introduces the
fallen angel, Metatron – the Messiah of Jewish Kabbalah.
Part Four of The Return of the Kosher Pig is a lengthy exposé
proffering the angel Metatron as the Messiah. To prepare his
readers for this deceptive doctrine, Shapira writes, “I
encourage all of you to continue to put on ‘Jewish glasses’
and to examine these pieces of evidence critically.” (p. 227)
He begins by stating that the primary role of the Messiah is
to act as a mediator and to carry our prayers to God. To
support his case, Shapira quotes Dr. Yehuda Liebes,
Professor of Jewish mysticism and Kabbalah at Hebrew
University of Jerusalem. Liebes’ work, The Angels of the
Voice of the Shofar, and Yeshua Sar-Hapanim, is partially
quoted here: “…in the order of the tekiot (sounding of the
shofar) from the siddur we see the prayer to the various
angels who are called to lift up the voice of the shofar to the
heavens…May it be your will that at the sounding of the
shofar that we blow today…As you accepted Elijah, blessed
be his name, and Yeshua the ‘prince of the face’ (Sar
Hapanim) who is the Prince Metatron, may you fill us with
mercy.” (p. 227) Shapira explains that the term Sar Hapanim
translates to Prince of the Presence, that this is the title
given to Yeshua, and that “Metatron and Sar Hapanim are
the exact same entity as the Messiah himself.” He then
notes, “In essence it is because of the Mediator who is
called Yeshua the Prince of the Presence, and Metatron, that
our prayers will be received by God.” (pp. 228-229) From
this prayer in the Siddur, the occult practice of gematria
(numerology) is used to decode the 72 names of the prince
of the kabbalists. Referencing Prof. Liebes again, Shapira
states, “…the term Sar Hapanim is equivalent in Gematria
to ‘Prince of the Throne’ as the one who is allowed to come
to the throne of God and the one who lifts up our prayers as
a mediator for us with HaShem.” (p. 230) In his presentation
of Metatron as Yeshua the Messiah, Shapira cites too many
rabbinic sources to list. Some of these are the Sefer
Hayovel, the Hekhalot, Notes on the Study of Merkabah
Mysticism, the Third Book of Enoch, and The Gate of
Reincarnation. On page 239 Shapira designates Metatron to
be the “Holder of God’s full authority” and “the one who
will redeem Israel.” On page 240 he quotes the Sefer
Hayovel: “And Metatron the Messenger continued and
he said to me, I am Metatron, Sar Hapanim, and
Michael is my name. He has placed me to be among
his people whom he loves. I am the one who was with
Avraham…I am the one who redeemed Yitzhak and
the one who fought with Yaacov. I am the one who
guided Israel in the desert for forty years…”
He then gives several passages in Genesis and inserts
Metatron’s name for the name of God into the Scriptures.
On page 242 Shapira informs us that in Jewish literature
Metatron is known as the Little or Lesser YHVH. This is an
apt description, as Metatron is in fact a fallen angel posing
as the Messiah. Shapira does not admit this, but quotes
from the 3rd Book of Enoch, Chapter 10: “And the herald
went forth into every Heaven, saying: “This is
Metatron, my servant. I have made him into a prince
and a ruler over all the princes of my kingdoms and
over all the presence and you shall speak to him now
instead of me.” (Advent of “Lesser YHVH”) The third
book of Enoch (3 Enoch) is a pseudepigraphical work
detailing visions of Metatron upon his throne by Rabbi
Ishmael ben Elisha and is part of the Jewish esoteric writings
called Hekhalot. 5 In 3 Enoch Metatron is known as the
lesser YHVH: “This version of the Book of Enoch is an
account of a journey to heaven by Rabbi Ishmael ben Elisha,
the High Priest. Rabbi Ishmael is first received by the angel
Metatron, who proves to be the exalted Enoch…The whole
text falls within the class of Jewish mystical writing known as
Merkabah, or Chariot mysticism…” 6
Based on these fables of mystic rabbis who claim to have
seen YHVH, are we then to assume that Enoch, transformed
into Metatron, is also Yeshua and divine? Shapira gives no
explanation for this. Instead he gives greater endorsement
to the Hekhalot literature, which he esteems as, “a body of
mystical writings that developed out of the visions of
Ezekiel,” and which contain “the greatest clues” for
Metatron’s identity. On pages 242-243 Shapira quotes from
the Hekhalot what sounds more like the words of Lucifer in
his pride against God than the humble redeemer of Israel
who made Himself a servant to all: “Rabbi Ishmael stated:
Metatron Prince of the Presence [Sar Hapanim] possesses all
the attributes that HaShem put in his hand, and he blessed
me…and I was lifted and exalted…Metatron, prince of the
Presence: HaShem created for me a throne of glory and
put upon me light and splendor and glory and grace
and mercy…and he opened the seventh Hall and he put me
in this throne…Metatron Prince of the Presence said,
HaShem has loved me more than any other exalted ones,
so that he has created for me clothing with different
lights, and he created for me a coat of glory, and he
made me a crown of the kingdom with 49 stones. And
they put it on my head and called out, “The Little YHVH”
in front of all of the angels above.”
Let’s take an honest look at these words above (Emphasis
added). Do these arrogant proclamations by Metatron sound
like the words of Jesus Christ who emptied Himself on our
behalf? No, rather they sound strikingly like the five self-
aggrandizing “I will” declarations of Lucifer in Isaiah 14: How
art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning!
How art thou cut down to the ground, which did weaken the
nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into
heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will
sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of
the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will
be like the most High.
Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the
pit.
We know from John 1:1-3 that Jesus Christ is the eternal
Word and God who created all things: “In the beginning was
the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was
God…All things were made by Him; and without Him was
not any thing made that was made.” Yet in the quote above
from the Hekhalot we see Metatron – a fallen angel and
imposter – saying that HaShem has created for him a throne
of glory, clothing adorned with different lights, and a crown
of the kingdom with 49 stones! It does not take too much
discernment to see who the rabbis are really speaking
about. Compare these statements with the description of
Lucifer before his fall in Ezekiel 28:12-19: Son of man, take
up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him,
Thus saith the Lord God; You were the seal of perfection, full
of wisdom and perfect in beauty. You have been in Eden the
garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering…
Thou art the anointed Cherub that covereth; and I have set
thee so: you were upon the holy mountain of God; you have
walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. You
were perfect in your ways from the day that thou wast
created, till iniquity was found in thee…Therefore I will cast
thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will
destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the
stones of fire.

The Prince of this World: Metatron’s True Identity


Revealed Metatron = Prince of the World = Lucifer “I
am the LORD: that is My name: and My glory will I not
give to another.”
Isaiah 42:8
It is apparent from Shapira’s regard of Metatron that he puts
much confidence in Jewish mystical writings, which he refers
to as “deeper waters.” These esoteric books deny the deity
of Jesus Christ, yet give preeminence to a fallen angel and
name him as equal to God the Creator. Again and again we
see that Shapira has no problem relying on gematria and
mysticism to support his thesis that Metatron is Yeshua,
Enoch, and even El-Shaddai! On pages 242 and 244 Shapira
provides us with the following formulas to illustrate
Metatron’s “divine nature” and equality with God: “Sar
Hapanim = Metatron = Angel of His Presence =
Yeshua”
“Sar Hapanim = Metatron = Angel of His Presence =
Yeshua = Enoch = Shaddai”
Gematria is a mystical system within the Zohar used to
decode the various names of God from the Torah. Through
repetition of the “sacred” names of God, the initiate is
transported to the “throne room” where he receives a
“vision of Metatron…‘the prince of the Presence’…seated on
the Throne like God.” Gershom Scholem was a leading
authority on Kabbalah. In his book, Kabbalah, Scholem
states, “In Merkabah literature the names of the angels
easily intermingle with the secret Names of God…The
formula ‘the Lord, God of Israel’ is very often added to the
particular name, but many of the chief angels also have this
added to their names…” 7
Quoting one rabbinic source after another, Shapira notes,
“…the word Metatron in Gematria equates to the value of
the word Shaddai. We can conclude that Metatron is El-
Shaddai, the manifestation of God who is visible on earth
and visible to men.” (p. 244) At last, the true identity of
Metatron is revealed as Shapira quotes yet more rabbinic
sources: “As we know, Metatron is the prince of the
world…And he [Metatron] is the lad who serves from
above as the sages explained…He is the keeper of
the gate. Enoch is Metatron…Metatron is called “the
Guardian of Israel…”…Cholin tractate 44 (Babylonian
Talmud)…speaks about the Prince of the World…who
is called the Great Metatron...He (Metatron) has
seven names.” (pp. 244, 246; Parentheses added) In
John 14:30, just before His crucifixion, Jesus identified Satan
as “the prince of this world.” Paul the Apostle called
Satan “the god of this world” who blinds the minds of
those who are lost and to whom the Gospel is hidden. (2
Corinthians 4:3-4) In Ephesians 2:2 he is called “the prince
of the power of the air.” If Metatron is not Satan, aka
Lucifer, then at the very least he is one of Satan’s fallen
angels. He is an imposter sitting on a throne in the spirit
realm, posing as the Messiah, illuminating Christ rejecting
rabbis and mystics with counterfeit visions of himself as
YHVH.
Metatron, Merkabah and the Sefirot Tree of
Knowledge Within all esoteric schools of wisdom, the lie of
Satan is that eternal life is gained through ascending levels
of knowledge. In occult mythology, Metatron is the angel
who gives knowledge to mankind. In Kabbalah, the
experience of encountering Metatron upon his throne is
known as Merkabah Mysticism or Chariot Mysticism
(Ma’aseh Merkabah).
Throughout the centuries rabbinic sages have sought to
duplicate the experience of Ezekiel’s vision of God on his
throne, described as wheels within wheels, carried by four
living creatures. (Ezekiel 1) Unlike Ezekiel’s experience,
which was initiated by God, the mystic of Kabbalah uses
occult methods to achieve union with the divine apart from
faith in Jesus Christ. Merkabah mysticism is man’s ascension
of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, symbolized by the
Sefirot tree and the six-pointed star, also known as
Metatron’s Cube: Merkabah – the vehicle used to transport
a person to the third heaven to behold the angel Metatron
on his throne; also called Metatron’s Cube, it is
depicted by the six-pointed star. “The Chariot
(Merkabah/Chariot ascension) was thus a kind of ‘mystic
way’ leading up to the final goal of the soul. Or, more
precisely, it was the mystic ‘instrument,’ the vehicle by
which one was carried direct into the ‘halls’ of the unseen. It
was the aim of the mystic to be a ‘Merkabah-rider’…” 8
“Merkabah…is the divine light vehicle allegedly used by
ascended masters to connect with and reach those in tune
with the higher realms. “Mer” means Light. “Ka” means
Spirit. “Ba” means Body. Mer-Ka-Ba means the spirit/body
surrounded by counter-rotating fields of light, (wheels within
wheels), spirals of energy as in DNA, which transports
spirit/body from one dimension to another…MerKaBa is an
interdimensional vehicle consisting of two equally sized,
interlocked tetrahedra of light with a common center…it can
be viewed as a three dimensional Star of David.” 9
The Encyclopaedia Judaica (a Jewish encyclopedia resource)
says the following in its article on Merkabah Mysticism:
“MERKABAH MYSTICISM, the name given to the first
chapter of Ezekiel…The term was used by the rabbis to
designate the complex speculations, homilies, and visions
connected with the Throne of Glory and the chariot
(merkavah)…In Pharisaic [Pharisees] and tannaitic [rabbinic
sages] circles Merkabah mysticism became an esoteric
tradition…The doctrine of the seven heavens and their
angelic hosts, as was developed in Merkabah mysticism and
in cosmology, has also definite magical contexts…” 10
But their minds were blinded: for until this day
remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading
of the Old Testament; which vail is done away in
Christ. But even unto this day, when Moses is read,
the vail is upon their heart. 2 Corinthians 3:14-15
Far from the divinely inspired testimony of the Gospel of
Jesus Christ as presented in the Scriptures, Shapira’s book is
more like a magical mystery tour through the endless maze
of spiritual darkness that is Kabbalah. If these esoteric
writings of the sages so evidently reveal the biblical
Messiah, as Shapira claims, why have we not seen more
practicing kabbalists come to faith in Jesus Christ? Instead,
we are seeing a literal explosion and embrace of kabbalistic
doctrines permeating almost every aspect of society,
including the Christian community. This is because the
teachings of Kabbalah are nothing more than Jewish fables
and myths “that turn from the truth” and which Paul the
Apostle cautioned Christians to avoid. (Titus 1:14) The
question must also be asked, why would Itzhak Shapira go
to such great lengths to write a book which is essentially a
means of initiating potential followers of the kosher pig
Yeshua into the mysteries of Kabbalah? The answer may be
found in a prophecy from the Zohar – the main book of
Kabbalah – and in the legacy of the father of today’s
Kabbalah.
Chapter 3
Prophecy, Creation and the Gods of Kabbalah

A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can


a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit…Either make the
tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree
corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known
by his fruit.
Matthew 7:18, 12:33
Isaac Luria: Father of Modern Kabbalah Itzhak Shapira
is not the only rabbi or pastor disseminating kabbalistic
doctrines into the Church today. There are many. Even the
use of the title rabbi should raise an alarm, as Jesus told his
followers not to be called rabbi. (Matthew 23:8) All things
must be tested in the light of the Bible. Sadly, many
Christians today are not looking past the veneer of
impressive words that sound like truth; instead, they are
placing themselves under the bewitchment of Kabbalah
veiled in so called Judaism.
Based on a prophecy in the Zohar, there is a very definite
and planned effort to bring the entire world into the study of
Kabbalah as the necessary precursor that will usher in a
false Messiah. This is why the true followers of Jesus Christ
must be able to recognize basic terms and teachings as
defined by the rabbis of Kabbalah.
Of all the rabbis referenced in Shapira’s book, none has
been more influential in the history and development of
Kabbalah than Isaac Luria, also known as the “Ari” or the
“lion.” Born in Jerusalem in 1534, he was and is still known
by his disciples as the master Kabbalist. His method of
Kabbalah – Lurianic Kabbalah – continues to be the
predominant form of Kabbalah followed by the rabbis today,
as confirmed by Shapira: “…Rabbi Yitzhak Luria, who was
the founding rabbi of the Pardes method…Many considered
him the founder of the “Torah of Kabbalah…He is considered
the father of contemporary Kabbalah.” 11
This brief description of Isaac Luria from The Return of the
Kosher Pig as the founder of the mystical Pardes method
and “father of contemporary Kabbalah” lends itself to
further explanation, but Shapira gives us none. Therefore I
present the following excerpt on Isaac Luria from “Kabbalah
Online” which publishes “Kosher Kabbalah From The Holy
City of Safed, Israel” where Luria spent the last years of his
life and died: “One of the greatest kabbalists of all times, he
founded a new school in Kabbalah – the so-called “Lurianic
Kabbalah” – which is the basis of almost all mystical works
that followed him… undisputedly the greatest practitioner
and expounder of Kabbalah since Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai,
author of the Zohar… On numerous occasions Elijah the
Prophet revealed himself and taught the Ari the mysteries of
the Torah. Every night his soul ascended into the heavenly
realms. Troops of angels would greet him to safeguard his
way, bringing him to the heavenly academies. These angels
would ask him which academy he chose to visit. Sometimes
it would be that of Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai, and other times
he would visit the heavenly academies of Rabbi Akiva or
Rabbi Eliezer the Great. On occasion he would also visit the
heavenly academies of the ancient prophets…In 5330
(1570), after he had attained an extremely exalted rung of
holiness in Egypt, Elijah told him the time had come to
move to Safed, a city in the Galilee in the north of Israel.
There he would meet Rabbi Chaim Vital, the man to whom
he was destined to transmit the keys to the ancient
knowledge…The Ari overflowed with Torah. He was
thoroughly expert in Scripture, Mishnah, Talmud…and
maaseh merkavah (esoteric disciplines). He was expert in
the language of trees, the language of birds and the speech
of angels. He could read faces in the manner outlined in the
Zohar (vol. 2, p. 74b). He could discern all that any
individual had done, and could see what they would do in
the future. He could read people’s thoughts, often before
the thought even entered their mind. He knew future
events, and was aware of everything happening here on
earth, and what was decreed in heaven…He knew the
mysteries of gilgul (reincarnation) – who had been born
previously, and who was here for the first time. He
could look at a person and tell him how he was
connected to higher spiritual levels, and his original
root in Adam. The Ari could read wondrous things
[about people] in the light of a candle or in the flame
of a fire. With his eyes he gazed and was able to see
the souls of the righteous, both those who had died
recently and those who had lived in ancient times.
Together with, and from, these departed souls, he
studied the true mysteries. From a person’s scent, he
was able to know all that he had done. (See Zohar,
vol. 3, p. 188a.) It was as if the answers to all these
mysteries lay dormant within him, waiting to be
activated whenever he desired. He did not have to
seclude himself to seek them out. All this we saw
with our own eyes. These are not things that we
heard from others. They were wondrous things that
had not been seen on earth since the time of Rabbi
Shimon bar Yochai. None of this was attained through
magic, heaven forbid. There is a strong prohibition
against these arts. Instead, it came automatically, as
a result of his saintliness and asceticism, after many
years of study in both the ancient and the newer
Kabbalistic texts. He then increased his piety,
asceticism, purity and holiness until he reached a
level where Elijah would constantly reveal himself to
him, speaking to him “mouth to mouth,” teaching
him these secrets.” 12
From this account of Luria’s life, we can get a pretty clear
idea of how a future Moshiach (Messiah) of Kabbalah might
appear, complete with Elijah the false prophet as his
forerunner – in this case, a familiar spirit! In fact, another
authoritative source notes that “Certain allusions made to
his disciples suggest that he [Luria] believed himself to be
‘the Messiah, the son of Joseph,’ destined to die in the
fulfillment of his mission.” 13 Like Simon the sorcerer in Acts
chapter 8, Luria’s ability to perform signs and wonders
greatly impressed his contemporaries and his teachings
continue to influence the followers of Kabbalah today.
The Kabbalah Sefirot Tree of Knowledge and its
Roots
As seen in The Return of the Kosher Pig, Itzhak Shapira has
provided extensive references to the heavenly journeys of
the rabbis by way of mystical meditation and angelic
encounters that result in strong delusion. On page 206 he
has included an illustration of the Sefirot tree. In Kabbalah,
the Sefirot tree is referred to interchangeably as the tree of
life and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. It is the
bridge connecting heaven and earth and represents man’s
ascent by degrees of knowledge, back to the paradise that
was lost and ultimately to his own divinity before the fall.

Shapira refers to the Sefirot tree of knowledge and its


relation to Yeshua multiple times in his book. Describing the
role of Messiah as the last redeemer he states, “…he will
serve as a connector between the heavens and the earth by
the spark of life.” (p. 205) Quoting again from “Mystical
Jewish” sources, Shapira then attempts to show that the
female sphere of binah on the Sefirot tree is a
manifestation of Yeshua, “the son of God.” In his explanation
of “The Ten S’firot” as the “ten manifestations of God,”
Shapira states the following: “The left side of the ten
manifestations represents the feminine attributes,
while the right side represents the masculine
attributes...the feminine manifestation of God
represents the part of God that we can see and
remain alive…HaShem reduced himself to the
“middle point” or “middle pillar during Creation…
Amazingly, the middle pillar is referred to as the
Messiah himself as the Binah or the Son of Ya…The
responsibility of the middle pillar [“the mediator”] is
to join heaven and earth together (called in Judaism
“connection of the worlds”)…The last redeemer is
known as the Binah (the son of God), Elyon (the one
from above), the “firstborn” and as a “bull.” 14
Contrast these statements of Shapira with those of 33rd
degree Freemason and occultist, Manly P. Hall: “The
Sephirothic Tree consists of ten globes of luminous
splendor arranged in three vertical columns and
connected by 22 channels or paths… analogous to
the first 32 degrees of Freemasonry, which elevate
the candidate to the dignity of a Prince of the Royal
Secret…Aima, the Great Mother, is the name by
which Binah, or the third Sephira, is generally
known….According to the mysteries of the Sephiroth,
the order of the Creation…From AIN SOPH, the
Nothing and All…AIN SOPH, corresponding to Kether,
the Crown of the Sephiroth, gives birth out of Himself
to the nine lesser spheres…From this eternal and
ancient androgyne--Kether--come forth Chochmah,
the great Father, and Binah, the great Mother…the
first male and the first female, the prototypes of
sex.” 15
As a master Mason and mystic, Manly Hall understood the
secret teachings of Kabbalah, revealing in riddles those
mysteries related to cosmology (the origin of the universe)
and the god who rules from the top of the Sefirot tree, Ain
Sof. In Kabbalah, the concepts of creation, the fall of man,
redemption, and especially the coming Messiah are vastly
different from the biblical view, and Shapira introduces his
readers to many of these cryptic ideas. Based on his wide
scope of rabbinical knowledge, Shapira must also know the
diametrical opposites of Christianity and Kabbalah.
Therefore, whatever connections he is trying to make
between Jesus Christ and the Messiah of Kabbalah are
simply not there.
According to the Zohar – the main book of Kabbalah – the
god who created the universe is not the God Elohim of
Genesis 1:26, but Ein Sof, an infinite, formless, unknowable
force. Ein Sof (also spelled Ain Soph) may be defined as “the
Supreme Diety…the eternal state of Being…the Absolute
Not Being…without substance, essence or intelligence...the
Most Ancient of all Ancients.” 16 In the Genesis account of
creation Elohim is the creator, but in kabbalistic theology Ein
Sof is the creator of Elohim!
The Zohar’s account of Ein Sof creating Elohim: “Now
the pillars stand firm!...The Blinding Flash…the ‘Creation of
Elohim’…This is the Zohar’s name for the first impulse of
emanation proceeding from Ein Sof, the Infinite, through
Keter…one spark…A pure aura emerged from Keter…the
aura of Ein Sof…the Creation of Elohim…” (Raba Zohar 3
128b) 17
Because that, when they knew God, they glorified
Him not as God…Professing themselves to be wise,
they became fools…Who changed the truth of God
into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature
more than the Creator. Romans 1:21, 22, 25
Ein Sof is not the God of the Bible, but the god of the Jewish
mystics and sages; the same mystic sages that Itzhak
Shapira praises in The Return of the Kosher Pig. Gershom
Scholem was the first Professor of Jewish Mysticism at
Hebrew University of Jerusalem and wrote volumes on the
subject of Kabbalah. 18 In his book, Kabbalah, Scholem
relates that Ein Sof and the Sefirot “are not differentiated.”
There is a unity between the creator and his creation; a
oneness between the “Emanator” and the Sefirot that
cannot be known to the “uninitiated.” In Kabbalah God is
“immanent within creation.” Scholem notes, “…the Sefirot
do not constitute “intermediary beings” but are God
Himself.” 19
As a professor of mysticism, Scholem admitted that the
system of Kabbalah cannot be explained in a “simple and
straightforward fashion.” 20 In Kabbalah, the Sefirot and its
doctrine of “divine unity” represent a “new plane of mystical
experience and contemplation” that “can be fathomed only
in the practice of mystical meditation.” 21 More importantly,
Gershom Scholem observed that despite the wide range of
traditions used in approaching mystical Judaism, the
symbols and ideas of “Lurianic Kabbalah” have “dominated
kabbalistic thinking from the 17th century until recent
times.” 22
Many Christians today assume that Jesus Christ and the
awaited Moshiach of Judaism are one and the same.
Therefore, it is important to understand the kabbalistic
doctrines on the fall of man and redemption, as these
remain the central messianic themes in rabbinic Jewish
thought today. These esoteric ideas were kept hidden for
hundreds of years, but are now being released on a global
scale according to a prophecy in the Zohar: “In the six
hundredth year of the sixth millennium (5600 = 1840
C.E.) the gates of wisdom above [Kabbalah] together
with the wellsprings of wisdom below [science] will
be opened up, and the world will prepare to usher in
the seventh millennium.” Zohar (VaYeira 117a)
“What was forbidden to investigate and to expound
upon the day before now becomes permissible the
day after…This is because the gates of human
understanding below have been opened up as a
result of the steadily increasing Divine revelations
above.” 23
“Until the time prior to the dawn of the Industrial
Revolution, it was forbidden for Jews to learn the
secret side of Torah unless they understood the
whole of the Talmud…Many secrets of Torah are
embodied in a volume known as “The Zohar” which
contains these traditions…The teachings of this book
were withheld for a thousand years with a prophecy
that at a time when required it would be revealed…
These secrets have been whispered and then
articulated more and more loudly by the Rebbes of
Lubavitch (Chabad)…With this information a Jew can
soar into the heavens.” 24
Every true Christian knows and believes that Elohim, the
Creator in Genesis, is God and that Jesus Christ is God, the
“Word made flesh.” (John 1:14) But as we have seen, one of
the secret teachings of Kabbalah is that Ein Sof, through
Keter, created the biblical God, Elohim. Again, Ein Sof is the
kabbalistic conception of the god who sits above the Sefirot
tree. The following quote explains, “The hidden, infinite
aspect of God is called “the Infinite” (Ein Sof, “without
end”). This name was understood as the proper one for the
hidden aspect of God…The sefirot, not Ein Sof, is the
God of the Bible. Therefore, a Kabbalist can justifiably
claim that, ‘Ein Sof is nowhere mentioned in the
Bible.’...The Bible refers only to the sefirot, the knowable
God, not the hidden God.” 25
Bearing in mind that Itzhak Shapira says Yeshua is the
(created) Binah in the Sefirot tree of Kabbalah, we will look
at the core doctrines of mystical Judaism found within
Lurianic Kabbalah.
According to Isaac Luria, Ein Sof emanated from himself ten
spheres or vessels of light called sephirah (singular for
Sefirot). The first was Keter, the Crown, the androgynous
god who is both male and female, also known as Adam
Kadmon. Because Keter is both male and female, the right
side of the tree represents the masculine potencies of god,
while the left side represents the feminine aspects of god.
The remaining nine sephirah or spheres emanate from Keter
through a process of mystical sexual union known as “hieros
gamos, the holy union of male and female powers.” 26 This
synthesis of male and female is esoterically communicated
in the union of the two triangles forming the six-pointed
star; an occult symbol whose meaning is known and
understood by those initiated into the secrets of Kabbalah.
Since Keter is androgynous, the first two sephirah emit from
him. These are Hochmah and Binah, located just below
Keter. At this point is should be clear that Jesus Christ is not
Binah, the result of an androgynous sexual act and creation
of Ein Sof!
In this evolving process, Keter, Hochmah and Binah form a
trinity from which emanates or gives birth to Hessed (male),
and from Hessed emanates Gevurah (female). The next
union – hieros gamos – then produces Tiferet. This mystical
sexual union of the sephirah continues all the way down to
Malkut (also spelled Malchuth) the lowest sphere on the
Sefirot tree. 15 Malkut means kingdom and Shekhinah; and
whereas all of the other sephirah are located in the spirit
world, Malkut represents the physical, material world in
which we live and the Shekhinah glory or dwelling of god.
The word Shekhinah is not found in the Bible. In Kabbalah
Shekhinah is the final sephirah to emanate from the Sefirot
tree. She is the female counterpart of Ein Sof and the
“divine presence” of god in the earth. She is the daughter
conceived in the “sacred marriage” of hieros gamos. She is
the gateway of man’s ascension to knowledge, the “bride”
and “queen” of Tiferet. She is the “mother” who is One with
the children of Israel. 27 But something went wrong in this
cosmic drama. There was a crisis, a shattering of “God’s
dream” in which man is now left to work and pick up the
pieces.

The Breaking of the Vessels, Exile and Tikkun


The Fall and Redemption of Gods and Kings And
he [Jesus] said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.
Luke 10:18
In Kabbalah, the entire process of creation through
emanation is described as a “Divine Lightning Flash” from
Ein Sof which zigzags through each of the nine sephirah all
the way down to Malkut, the kingdom of god on earth. 28
These nine sephirah are also called worlds. In his book,
Kabbalah, Gershom Scholem states that the Sefirot are also
depicted as powers and crowns “since they are the celestial
crowns of the Holy King.” 29 Through the lightning flash of
Ein Sof, these crowns rise out of the sea of the abyss,
revealing the unity of creation in the number six and
symbolized in the reflection and union of two triangles, the
six-pointed star, from which comes the Egyptian maxim, As

Above, So Below:
“The Ain Soph at first was filling All and then made
an absolute concentration into Itself which produced
the Abyss…the Waters or Crystalline Chaotic Sea…
Each of these worlds has ten powers, or spheres…AIN
SOPH established His first point or dot in the Divine
Sea…the face of God, crowned with light, rose over
the vast sea and was reflected in the waters thereof.
His two eyes were manifested, radiating with
splendour, darting two beams of light which crossed
with those of the reflection. The brow of God and His
eyes formed a triangle in heaven, and its reflection
formed a second triangle in the waters. So was
revealed the number six, being that of universal
creation.” 30
But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable
branch, and as the raiment [garment] of those that
are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down
to the stones of the pit, as a carcase trodden under
feet.
Isaiah 14:19
The kabbalists say that in order to make room for creation,
Ein Sof had to contract himself to a single point, making
room for the worlds of the Sefirot. This is called tzimtzum.
As the lightning flash descended, each sphere was formed,
one after another, each serving as a vessel for receiving and
containing the light. These vessels are also referred to as
levushim, the “garments of Ein-Sof.” 31 But the vessels
could not contain the “divine light” and this resulted in what
Kabbalah calls shevirah, “the breaking of the vessels.” 32
As the vessels shattered the light dispersed and scattered in
the form of “sparks.” Some of these sparks rose back up to
their “source.” Others descended, becoming trapped in
matter. Still others fell down into the abyss and are trapped
there still; and because god is in everything and everyone,
god himself is in the pit, waiting to be released. This is the
Zohar’s version of “the fall” and since the time of Isaac
Luria, has served to explain the diaspora (dispersion) as a
cosmic event: not only Israel, but all of humanity, the entire
universe, and even God himself is in exile (galut). Once
again, Gershom Scholem, late professor of Jewish Mysticism
explains: “The divine light…is no longer in its proper place
because the vessels were broken…There is nothing that was
not damaged by the breaking. Nothing is in the place
appointed for it; everything is either below or above…all
being is in Galut. And this is not all. Into the deep abyss…
there fell, as a result of the breaking of the vessels, forces of
holiness, sparks of divine light. Hence there is a Galut of
the divine itself, of the ‘sparks of the Shekhinah:’ ‘These
sparks of holiness are bound in fetters of steel in the
depths of the shells, and yearningly aspire to rise to their
source but cannot avail to do so until they have support’
– so says Rabbi Hayyim Vital, a disciple of Luria.” 33
This “breaking of the vessels” is only the first stage in the
fall of Ein Sof’s creation. It is the shattering and falling of the
androgynous god of Kabbalah into the pit, “bound in fetters
of steel! Scholem calls this “a cosmic picture of Galut…a
Galut of the divine itself.” 32 This cosmic fall is also the fall
of the first Adam, Adam Kadmon. In Kabbalah Adam Kadmon
is the first emanation or creation of Ein Sof. He is Keter, the
first sphere on the Sefirot tree. He is also Elohim, the “King.”
He is the “crown” of the Grand Man of the Zohar, which is
the entire Sefirot tree. He is not the man Adam, created in
Genesis, but is the “Primordial Man”; the celestial Adam
through which all other souls are created. The spheres of
the Sefirot are not just worlds but are also portrayed as
powers and crowns. The “breaking of the vessels” is the fall
of the ancient kings, princes and powers: “The Zohar
holds the concept of two Adams: the first a divine
being who, stepping forth from the highest original
darkness, created the second, or earthly, Adam in His
own image.” 34 “This is the Grand Man of the Zohar…
The science of equilibrium is the key of occult
science. Unbalanced forces perish in the void. So
passed the kings of the elder world, the princes of
the giants. They have fallen like trees without roots,
and their place is found no more.” (Eliphas Levi, The
History of Magic) 35
Chapter 4
Repairing the World:
The Secret Law of Tikkun and the Tree of
Knowledge
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not
of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest
any man should boast. Ephesians 2:8-9
So let no one judge you in food or in drink, or
regarding a festival or a new moon or sabbaths,
which are a shadow of things to come, but the
substance is of Christ. Colossians 2:16-17
“The secret must be kept inside the circle of the
initiates…The Sefiroth were revealed to Adam in the
shape of the Tree of Life and the Tree of Knowledge.”
36
“The rabbis have always taught that the Tree of
Knowledge and the Tree of Life are one and the
same…whose roots are now in “Heaven” leading all
the way back to the future to the never-ending
source of the Light of the Ain Sof.” 37
There are many secrets in the “occult science” of Kabbalah.
Concealed in the shattering of the vessels of the Sefirot tree
is the fall of Lucifer and the powers of his kingdom. But the
kingdom must be restored. The universe and its broken
vessels must now be repaired. This is “the secret law of
tikkun.” 38 From the dust of this cosmic catastrophe the
universe is reconstructed through the Primordial Adam
Kadmon, who is the creator of the earthly Adam. From Ein
Sof, “healing, constructive lights” go forth from the forehead
of Adam Kadmon. 39 The spheres of the Sefirot are
reconfigured on a “new plane;” Father, Mother, masculine,
feminine, the “Impatient”…“God of revelation in traditional
Judaism” and “his feminine complement, the Shekhinah…
the last stage of the world of emanation.” 40
With the reconstruction of the Sefirot, there is once again a
balance of male and female forces; there is unity between
god and the re-created universe. Emerging from Shekhinah
is the one tree and it is here that we see the creation of man
by Adam Kadmon. In the secret tradition of the rabbis, Adam
the man is a microcosm of the upper worlds, a divine
reflection of the image of Adam Kadmon above. In
Kabbalah, the sin of Adam is not attributed to his
disobedience to God in eating from the tree of knowledge of
good and evil, but is the premature separation of the unity
of the Sefirot tree. Gershom Scholem notes that in “the
Original Sin…the fruit was separated from the tree, or as
another Kabbalist puts it, the Tree of Life from the Tree of
Knowledge.” 41 Far from the biblical Christian view,
Scholem reveals in detail the esoteric belief system of the
Jewish sages concerning these doctrines in the Book of
Genesis: “In the opinion of the Jewish mystics both
trees are in essence one. They grow out into two
directions from a common trunk…out of the common
matrix of the divine world…The sin of Adam was that
he isolated the Tree of Life from the Tree of
Knowledge to which he directed his desire. Once the
unity of the two trees in men’s lives was destroyed,
there began the dominion of the Tree of Knowledge.”
42
What happened before happens again. The matrix shatters;
the singular tree becomes the tree of “Duality.” 43 Now
begins the work of tikkun. Adam’s job was to complete the
work of repairing the worlds begun by Adam Kadmon.
Instead, the “divine light” departed from Adam’s soul and
the worlds descended into chaos (tohu). The female
Shekhinah, now separated from the masculine, descends
again into exile, destroying the dream of god: “And so, it
shattered. The very core of reality is G-d’s shattered
dream, waiting for us to pick up the pieces…The fire
of the sun, the air we breathe, the roaring waves of
the oceans and all that lives in them; the Earth and
the plants and animals that live upon it; even the
human flesh, its vital soul and the angels above…all
are no more than artifacts of the sparks that fell in
the explosion of that primordial world. But the
essence of the human being, the breath of G-d within
us, that is G-d Himself, gathering, refashioning and
piecing back together an impossible dream…it is
humankind, not the angels, who can pick it up and
reveal it…That the Infinite Light is everywhere is an
axiom of the Kabbalah…held captive within every
object…even within evil itself.” 44
The concept of shattered and fallen “sparks” comes from
the Kabbalah system of Isaac Luria which, as stated above,
is still the most influential form of Kabbalah today. The same
website quoted above also states: “The most common
Jewish liturgy today follows the form of the Ari’s custom.”
Embedded within this system are the secret laws of tikkun
and mitzvot, the main channels through which the
“redemption” (geulah) will come according to Kabbalah.
The word tikkun means reparation, to repair. It is through
tikkun that the world will be healed and brought “closer to
the harmonious state for which it was created.” 45 The
rabbis of Kabbalah believe that the final redemption and the
messianic era will only be brought about through mitzvot;
observing Torah, keeping the commandments and
performing good deeds. The word mitzvot is defined as:
“commandments; one of the Torah’s 613 Divine
commandments; a good deed or religious precept.” 46
The work of repairing the worlds, of restoring the fallen
Shekhinah to her king, and of ushering in the Moshiach
(Messiah) is now left to man. This is called raising the
sparks: “But the essential function of the Law, both of
the Noahide law binding on all men and of the Torah
imposed specially upon Israel, is to serve as an
instrument of the tikkun. Every man who acts in
accordance with this Law brings home the fallen
sparks of the Shekhinah and of his own soul as well.
He restores the pristine perfection of his own
spiritual body…In redemption everything is restored
to its place by the secret magic of human acts…every
commandment has its mystical aspect whose
observance creates a bond between the world of man
and the world of the Sefirot…Thus fundamentally
every man and especially every Jew participates in
the process of the tikkun.” 47
The Babylonian Talmud is the basis for the seven Noahide
laws. Sanhedrin 56a of the Babylonian Talmud states: “One
additional element of greater severity is that
violation of any one of the seven laws subjects the
Noachide to capital punishment by decapitation.” 48
This is another disturbing secret contained in the writings of
the Jewish sages: Mitzvot for non-Jews or Noahide laws. I
mention it here for its close connection to tikkun. While
Jews, specifically the Jewish sages, see themselves as the
main conduit of the light of Ein Sof, gentiles also have a role
to play in the mitzvot of tikkun by “obeying” the seven
Noahide laws. I will not list them all here but preeminent
among them is the prohibition of idolatry. Therefore, under
Talmudic law, if a Christian acknowledges that Jesus Christ is
the Messiah, the Son of God, or God manifest in the flesh,
he or she is guilty of the crime of idolatry.
The seventh or last Noahide law is the injunction to
establish a legal system to execute the other six Noahide
laws, which are punishable in the severest extreme by
capital punishment. The Encyclopaedia Judaica, in its article
on “Noachide Laws” states, “Except for the last, all are
negative, and the last itself is usually interpreted as
commanding the enforcement of the others.” 49 While
these laws are not yet in effect, they are already considered
“binding on all men” and have been written into the legal
system under Public Law in the United States: On March
26, 1991 the U.S. Congress, under the presidency of
George H.W. Bush, established the Seven Noachide
Laws as Public Law 102-14 in honor of Rabbi
Menachem Schneerson, leader of the Chabad-
Lubavitch. 50
A website dedicated to the teachings of the Chabad-
Lubavitch rabbis confirms: “The perfection of the world
requires the spreading of the seven Noahide
commandments…This implies a level of civilized
conduct, which can be achieved only when non-Jews
also observe their mitzvot. Indeed, the perfection of
the world that leads to the Messianic Era requires the
spreading of the seven commandments that G-d
through the Torah provided for all the nations of the
world...See also, the U.S. Congressional Declaration:
H. J. Res. 104, Public Law 102-14, March 20, 1991.”

The Path of the Mystic: Knowledge through


Ascension And no man hath ascended up to heaven,
but He that came down from heaven, even the Son of
man which is in heaven…And He said unto them, You
are from beneath; I am from above: you are of this
world; I am not of this world. John 3:13, 8:23
In kabbalistic Judaism the primary work of tikkun – the repair
of the world – is dependent on the Jewish sages ascending
the Sefirot tree so they can transmit the knowledge of the
kingdom of god to the nations of the world: “It is the task
of the People of Israel to bring the glory of G-d's
kingdom to all of creation, even to the nations of the
world…Divine influx…flows into the world through
the spiritual leaders of Israel to the People of Israel
to the nations of the world to all of Creation.” 52
The Zohar teaches that at the separation of the Sefirot tree,
a chasm was formed between the creation and Ein Sof.
Everything in the cosmos descended. Therefore, there must
be a way to return to the “source” through the portals of the
Sefirot.
Each sephirah on the tree of knowledge is a gateway
through which the “mystic” must pass through on the path
of enlightenment. As stated before, these spheres or
gateways are designated as powers. Through deep
contemplation and visualization, the initiate is mystically
transported through the “gates” of the Sefirot, from level to
level, hoping to merit a vision of the divine. It is not by
chance that this form of contemplative prayer has now
entered the Church at a phenomenal rate. This has resulted
in an elevation of seeking mystical experiences with God
over faith in Jesus Christ, the Word of God.
The word Zohar means radiance. The full title is Sepher Ha-
Zohar or The Book of Light. In rabbinic Judaism the Zohar is
considered “the masterpiece of Kabbalah” and divinely
inspired. In Kabbalah, the contemplative practice of
meditation is said to draw down the rays of light that
emanate from the Sefirot. The rabbis explain that, “It is
through action accompanied by speech and fervent
meditation directed towards a particular thing that a person
can draw down a force from above and cleave to that
object.” 53 In ascension, the heavenly visions of the mystics
are invoked through repetition of the divine or sacred names
of the gods of Kabbalah. Gershom Scholem explains prayer
and the mystic way: “The main path…the mystic way
involved the ascent of the soul to a state of ecstatic
rapture through a process of concentrated thought
and meditation…the…hierarchy of the spiritual
worlds reveals itself to the kabbalist in the time of
prayer as one of the many Names of God…it is the
name of the appropriate Sefirah on which the mystic
concentrates when reciting the prayers and into
which he is, as it were, absorbed…prayer has an
aspect of ‘inward magic’ by which it is empowered to
help order and restore the upper worlds…” 54
The name Lucifer means light bearer. The Apostle Paul in 2
Corinthians 11:14 tells us that Satan transforms himself into
an angel of light, deceiving today just as he deceived Eve in
the Garden of Eden; with knowledge and the prospect of
becoming “as God.” (Genesis 3:5) The rabbis of Kabbalah
believe themselves to be more than mere men, elevated
above the rest of humanity; a microcosm of the Sefirot of
the godhead, which is the macrocosm. Like cause and
effect, every action below impacts the worlds above. The
Zohar calls this “an unalterable law.”
“Now you must know that everything has an inner
aspect and an outer aspect. In the world as a whole,
Israel, the seed of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, is
considered to be the innermost aspect. The seventy
nations are considered to be the outer aspect of the
world…There is an unalterable law that the
macrocosm [the totality] and the microcosm [the
individual] are as like to each other as two drops of
water…. through the study of the Zohar and the
practice of the true wisdom, we can bring about an
end to our state of exile and a complete
redemption…the redemption of Israel and all the
worth of Israel is dependent on the learning of the
Zohar and the innermost aspect of the Torah.” 55
The true “unalterable law” is that all have sinned and fall
short of the glory of God. All are in need of the true
redemption and salvation that only comes through faith in
Jesus Christ, the “true Light.” This includes every rabbi and
every Jew, from the least to the greatest, as well as every
non-Jew. This lie of the superiority of the Jewish race is
leading the way in one of the greatest deceptions in the
history of the church; the coming of a false Messiah through
the Hebrew Roots and Sacred Name movements.
At its inception, the Hebrew Roots movement seemed to
begin innocently enough as a means for those wanting to
identify with the Jewish roots of their faith. Today it has
completely morphed into another gospel of works built on
the foundation of “Jewish fables” which we are warned
about in the Bible. It is common today to hear Christian
ministers say that the Jewish people do not need to come to
faith in Jesus Christ because they have their own covenant
with God. But it is a covenant with death and hell that will
not stand (Isaiah 28:18), because it is rooted in the satanic
lies of Kabbalah.
Chapter 5
The Dark Chambers of Initiation
Daat, Leviathan, “Six” and Transmigration
Then said he unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen
what the ancients of the house of Israel do in the
dark, every man in the chambers of his imagery?
Ezekiel 8:12
“Before one can approach the secret of Leviathan
one must first be initiated into the secret…the secret
of Leviathan has been kept well-hidden by the sages
and mystics of Israel for thousands of years. It is only
now in our generation that permission has been
granted to begin to conceive of its deeper truth and
imminent relevancy.” 56
“We have learned…that the world is Divinely
controlled in all areas except for moral decisions
where human beings have been delegated free
choice Jews in relation to 613 matters and non-Jews
in relation to 7 matters. We have learned that Jews
are functionally different from non-Jews in that they
have a neshomah, a part of G-d Himself; the
neshomah undergoes a descent into the body for the
purpose of an ascent higher than the level it was
before its descent…every descent is for a purpose of
an ascent…” 57
Despite this elevated god-like status of Jews, Gentiles are
encouraged to take part in the tikkun of ascent or aliyah.
Now that the rabbis have been “granted permission” to
reveal the secrets of the Zohar – no doubt by the angel of
light – it is permissible for Gentiles to study Kabbalah! 58
We can all do our part in the work towards the final
redemption. But the way back is not easy. The path of
navigating the spirit world is fraught with dangers. There are
demons and menacing angels demanding knowledge of
secret passwords and sacred names in order to be admitted
to the heavenly mansions. 59
According to the sages of Kabbalah, very few souls ever
reach the ultimate level of complete union with the divine.
This is because there are “infinite degrees” in the kingdom
of Ein Sof. Only those rare spiritual masters (tzadikim) who
have attained precise knowledge of the secret names of god
may enter into the “celestial paradise” of the Sefirot. In the
pantheon of the gods of the Sefirot tree, Metatron sits
supreme at the top of Keter, the crown. It is Metatron that
the sage mystics encounter “seated on the Throne like
God.” 60
These things saith He that is holy, He that is true, He
that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no
man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth.
Revelation 3:7
Another name for Metatron is the Opener, holder of the keys
of knowledge. At the center of the universe of the Sefirot
tree stands Metatron, the opener of the gates of wisdom:
“This is the meaning of the Midrash: “One celestial
creature with its name “Israel” engraved on its
forehead stands in the center of the universe”…Who
is this “One celestial creature with its name “Israel”
engraved on it forehead, standing in the center of
the universe...The celestial creature in question here
is none other than Metatron…the guiding light for the
stimulation of all human knowledge.” 61
Although Metatron may be going by the alias Yeshua, he is
not Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ alone possesses the “key of
David.” Only Jesus has “the keys of hell and of death” and it
is only through faith in Him that anyone can understand the
true “mystery of godliness” hidden in Christ Jesus before the
foundation of the world. The chamber doors opened on the
Sefirot tree of knowledge by Metatron lead only to the
darkness of the abyss.
But there were false prophets also among the
people, even as there shall be false teachers among
you, who privily [secretly] shall bring in damnable
heresies…even denying the Lord that bought
them….These are wells without water, clouds that are
carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness
is reserved forever. 2 Peter 2:1, 17
Just as there are infinite degrees of rank within Kabbalah,
there are also endless pathways one may ascend on the
Sefirot tree. In the twisted and never ending quest for
knowledge, the pinnacle of enlightenment comes by passing
through the darkness. Hidden just below the first three
spheres of Keter, Hochmah, and Binah is the sphere of Daat,
the abyss that separates the initiate from the crown.
“The Abyss and the Veil are two 'obstacles' to
overcome when ascending the Tree of Life…Kether,
Chochmah and Binah form a trinity, the supernal
triad, which resides above the Abyss…Only by riding
the mercabah (=the wagon, vehicle) of mystical
experience…will he be able to traverse the Abyss and
contact the supernal triad…It is said that Daath is the
child of Binah and Chohmah…Daath is seen as
entering the mysterious blackness. This void or
emptiness…ultimately leads to the Brilliance of the
White Light of Kether.” 62
The word Daat means knowledge, awareness, or connection.
63 In Kabbalah, the abyss of Daat represents mankind’s loss
of knowledge and it is Leviathan, the “Holy Serpent,” who
will restore knowledge to humanity. The Jewish sages say
that Leviathan is a “Torah-code word for universal
consciousness and never-ending knowledge.” 64 One
contemporary rabbi says Leviathan is “the Light of pure
consciousness,” and that this “God consciousness” of
Leviathan will return “full circle” to “the original light of
Genesis.” This will come in the form of the “New Torah” at
the “ultimate Feast of Knowledge” in the time to come. 65

“In the World to Come the righteous will recline with


their crowns in their heads basking in the pleasure of
the radiance of God’s presence.” 66
This “Holy Serpent,” say the rabbis, “is the
fountainhead, root and essence for all of God’s
sacred, revelatory Light.” 67 “The Primordial Serpent,
the “snake” of Gan Eden, the Leviathan, the
penetrating Ray of Light emanating from the Ain Sof,
and the Supernal Da’at of the Godhead, are different
dimensions of…Divine Consciousness.” 68
Leviathan is depicted as the ouroboros, the serpent
with its tail in its mouth and represents the devouring
serpent covering the Earth. It signifies the completion
of an age and the return to Tikkun Olam, the repair of
the world. The Theosophical Society’s website (an
esoteric branch of Kabbalah) states, “The area inside
the serpent’s circle represents the whole universe
and everything in it.” 69
In the book of Job, Leviathan is called “a king over
all the children of pride.” (Job 41:34) In Kabbalah
Leviathan is worshiped as the “Sacred Serpent” and
is the “bridge” across the abyss of Daat that
connects man to the divine. But in Isaiah 27:1 the
Lord says He will punish the piercing and crooked
serpent and slay the dragon that is in the sea. In the
cosmology of Kabbalah, the Sefirot tree and all of
creation is said to emanate out of the cosmic sea of
the abyss, destined to return to the nothingness of
Ein Sof, the god of forces: “[In]…the World to
come…Those creatures whose work is
complete, now free of their destiny, pass
beyond the seventh Heaven of Arabot and rise
up out of the vast sea of Creation, crying ‘I AM’
as they ascend through the Abyss-Daat of
Azilut and into union with the Crown of
Crowns…into the knowing and being of God.”
70
In Revelation 9:1 & 11 we see a beast rising out of
the sea of the abyss: “And the fifth angel sounded,
and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and
to him was given the key of the bottomless pit…And
they had a king over them, which is the angel of the
bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is
Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name
Apollyon.” This bottomless pit is the abyss, derived
from the word buthos which refers to the sea, the
deep, or the mysterious depth. 71
Further in Revelation 13:16-17 we read, “And he causeth all,
both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to
receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads. And
that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or
the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Verse 17
tells us that the mark is also initiated in the form of the
name of the beast and the number of his name. Many
Christians are unaware that Freemasonry is a branch
extending from the tree of kabbalistic Judaism and that the
name Abaddon is considered a sacred name in Freemasonry.
“We know still more, viz. that Masonry is a Jewish
institution whose history, degrees, charges,
passwords and explenations (sic) are Jewish from the
beginning to the end…it is impossible to be well
posted in Masonry without having a Jewish teacher.”
Rabbi Isaac Mayer Wise (1819 – 1900), 32nd Degree
Freemason. “America’s outstanding Jew and leading
rabbi during the 19th Century.” 72
In the seventeenth degree…after the candidates
have completed the initiation…after revealing the
password…and the Sacred Word (Abaddon)…another
clue to the true identity of the Masonic Deity is
revealed in the Sacred Word of the ritual, ABADDON.
73

It is also well known in schools of Kabbalah that the angel


Metatron is closely associated with the number “six.” Both
the Sefirot tree and Metatron’s cube contain the six-sided
hexagon and are representative of “the six-sided celestial
creature” Metatron. 74 In Kabbalah Metatron is the
spiritual force that is accelerating the redemption through
the channel of Leviathan, the “holy serpent.” As the “holder
of the keys,” Metatron is the entity who will bring balance to
the opposing forces of the shattered Sefirot tree, as quoted
above, “The science of equilibrium is the key of occult
science…So was revealed the number six, being that
of universal creation.” (See footnote 35) Ever learning,
and never able to come to the knowledge of the
truth.
2 Timothy 3:7
It has been over 5000 years since the serpent first spoke
the lie to Eve in the Garden of Eden, “Ye shall not surely
die…you shall be as God, knowing good and evil.”
From that time until now Satan continues to deceive millions
into believing that knowledge is the path to life and that
tikkun – man’s good works – is the way to redemption. In
Isaiah 14:13 we read that Lucifer rebelled against God,
saying in his heart: “I will ascend into heaven, I will
exalt my throne above the stars of God.”
As the “father of lies” and deceiver of nations, it is Satan,
the fallen angel Lucifer, that is able to deceive the hearts of
those who do not love the truth and this is certainly the
case with those who teach and follow the mystical teachings
of the Zohar: “Da'at or Daas…is a Hebrew word that
means Knowledge. In the branch of Jewish mysticism
known as Kabbalah, Da'at is the location (the
mystical state) where all ten sefirot in the Tree of Life
are united as one…In the Zohar…Da'at is referred to
as “the key that includes six.” The “key” of Da'at
opens all six chambers (attributes) of the heart and
fills them with life-force.” 75
The rabbis of Kabbalah say that in the time to come all
humanity will know the unity of God as One; but for now this
revolutionary paradigm shift is evolving through the
kabbalistic teachings of ascension and the secret of Gilgul or
transmigration. Gilgul means cycle or wheel and is the
kabbalistic concept of reincarnation. 76 Gilgul, also known
as “the law of transmigration,” is a central doctrine in
kabbalistic Judaism and is critical in the process of tikkun,
the repair of the world: “According to this, everything in
the world is constantly changing form, descending to
the lowest form and ascending again to the highest…
Every man amends his own soul, and by the process
of transmigration that of his neighbor. This is a
crucial item in the doctrine of the ‘selection’ of
goodness from its exile in the spheres of evil…Every
living being is subject to the law of transmigration
from form to form…We all work, or are at least
expected to work, for the amendment of the world
and the ‘selection’ of good and evil.” 77
Once again we see the influence of the serpent; exile is not
a result of man’s sin, but the means to perfect the fallen
creation through man’s ascension. According to Kabbalah,
only those who perfect themselves through many lives are
selected out of exile. Based on the writings of the Zohar, the
rabbis of today believe that all of the Patriarchs, from Moses
to the prophets, have returned in every generation to assist
in the process of lifting the sparks and repairing the worlds
through mitzvos, or good works.
“Reincarnation may be necessary to complete
rectification of all aspects of each level of the soul…
As we go, it will become common ground that Moshe
received the Torah on Mount Sinai, comprising 613
mitzvos (commands) which were to be carried out by
600,000-odd male souls who, together with their
wives and children, amounted to three million
people. These souls (or their fragments) have been
coming back through various gilgulim (cycles) ever
since, in order to complete those 613 mitzvos.” 78
As noted previously, Itzhak Shapira in his book, The Return
of the Kosher Pig, references The Gate of Reincarnation to
substantiate his claim that Metatron is the Messiah, as
presented through the writings of the sages. The Gate of
Reincarnations is based on the teachings of Rabbi Isaac
Luria, the “master kabbalist” and premier sage of
contemporary Kabbalah. 79 Hebrews 9:27 says it is
appointed for men once to die once, but after this the
judgment. Nowhere does the Bible teach reincarnation of
the soul, yet today we see Christians seeking the wisdom of
the rabbis’ “inner Torah” for spiritual direction.
“Every Jewish neshomah (soul) in its gilgul (life cycle)
in a particular body has descended in order to afford
it the opportunity to do certain specific mitzvos and
thus realize its potential. Its yeridah (decent) is for
the sole purpose of a subsequent aliyah (ascent) and,
as we will see, as everything physical is a reflection
of its spiritual counterpart, so it is with everything.
Every descent is for the purpose of an ascent…This is
staggering information.” 80
Staggering information indeed! The Chabad rabbis of
Kabbalah tell us that it is Metatron – “the six-sided
celestial servant” – who dispenses judgments and
punishments in the form of six lifetimes to give each soul
“an opportunity to fix him/herself through reincarnation.” An
article based on the teachings of the Zohar from a Kosher
Kabbalah website explains that every soul arising from the
side of the “spiritual force” known as “the Hebrew slave” is
allotted “up to six reincarnations to rectify its blemishes,
and needs to work and suffer problems and sickness,
poverty and confusion until rectified.” The article states,
“These are the maximum allowed for it to complete all six
levels from the place from which it was hewn…The Torah it
learns, and the mitzvot it performs, rectifies such a soul.”
Yet for those enlightened souls lucky enough to be from the
higher level of the Shechinah side of the force and born on
Shabbat, this does not apply as, “Certainly this soul will "go
out free" of servitude because it is a righteous soul, free of
any servitude.” 81
Kabbalah is said to be the “inner soul” of Torah which claims
to reveal the innermost hidden aspects of God’s Word. The
secret doctrine of Gilgul – reincarnation – is the same lie of
the serpent in Genesis 3:4-5: “You shall not surely die…you
shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.” As in the days of
the prophets, the rabbis of mystical Judaism continue to
blend the dictums of ancient Babylonian worship with the
Holy precepts of the Bible, resulting in a departure from
truth. In their desperation to establish a “king” for
themselves in Jerusalem, they have succumbed to the lie.
Professing themselves to be wise, they have become fools.
They have changed the glory of God into an image of
worship and for this reason God Himself has given them
over to a “reprobate mind.”
Chapter 6

The Cup of Babylon: Paradigm for the Nations

For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of


her fornication…
For by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.
Revelation 18:3, 23

“After 3307 years, everything necessary has been


done. The table is set – and we are sitting at it. The
feast of Moshiach is being served with the Ancient
Wine, the Leviathan, and the Wild Ox…All that is left
is for us to open our eyes and see.” (Rabbi
Menachem Mendel Schneerson, The Rebbe) 82

Throughout all the writings of Kabbalah there is one central


theme: That Israel is to be a light to the nations and that in
the time to come all nations will know that Hashem is One.
According to the rabbis, “It is the task of the Jewish people
to teach and disseminate the Torah of the Noahides to all of
mankind.” In what is being called “The Fourth Revolution,”
the rabbis say we are now entering a paradigm shift; a time
of “Mass Torah Study for Gentiles.” 83 This, we are told, is a
fulfillment of Biblical prophecy: “I will also give thee for a
light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my
salvation unto the ends of the earth.” (A prophecy of
Jesus Christ, not Israel; Isaiah 49:6) “And Hashem
shall be King over all the earth; in that day shall
Hashem be One and His name one.” Zechariah 14:9
(The Israel Bible™) 84
The rabbis of Kabbalah say that the world is now “ready for
a global awakening of consciousness.” 85 They tell us that
this awakening will only come by way of illuminating the
nations through Torah study – chiefly Kabbalah – and that
without this revolutionary shift in consciousness, Messiah
will not come. But what is Torah? To Christians Torah is
simply understood to mean the Holy Scriptures of the Bible.
But in today’s Judaism Torah encompasses the Bible as well
as the traditions and mystical teachings of the sages
throughout time:
“We have entered the age of the innermost aspect of
Torah…the secrets of the Torah, that is to say, the
Kabbala… we are close to the completion of the last
period of the world… From our generation onwards,
the words of the Zohar will begin to be revealed
more and more until their whole measure is revealed
according to the will of G-d.”
“Torah – (lit. teaching) (a) The Five Books of Moses
(The Bible); (b) the overall body of Jewish religious
teachings encompassing the whole body of Jewish
law, practice and tradition… If at least the people
who are the spiritual leaders of our generation would
occupy themselves with the innermost aspect of
Torah, the Kabbala, they would draw to themselves a
complete light from the Ein Sof…” 86
Here again we see that what was once forbidden is now
miraculously permitted through the light of the Zohar as
revealed by the rabbis! This awakening of consciousness is
nothing more than a global paradigm shift towards the god
of Kabbalah – Lucifer – as the “light” of the nations. What is
evident is that this shift of consciousness in Christians
represents a contemporary fulfillment of the Apostle Paul’s
prophecy that in the latter times there shall be a
“departing” from the faith by those who do not love the
truth, but turn their minds over to doctrines of demons. (1
Timothy 4:1, 2 Thessalonians 2:10) As also prophesied in
the satanic Zohar, there is occurring among many Christians
a shift away from the central focus of Jesus Christ – Who is
the Word – to another gospel that places earthly Jerusalem
center stage in the fulfillment of prophecy. As one Israeli
news source confidently stated, “Christians are realizing
that the Bible is a work that’s all about the Jewish people in
the Land of Israel and it’s taken a long time for this all to
crystalize.” 87

“…there are spiritual tectonic shifts of historic


magnitude happening both within the Jewish people
as well as the world around us…One of the most
shocking and curious of these shifts is happening
within Christianity, as hundreds of thousands of
Christians around the world are connecting to the
Jewish roots of their faith, keeping many of the
Biblical holidays, Torah commandments, and Jewish
rituals.” 88

The prophecy of a departing from the faith in 1 Timothy 4:1


was spoken “expressly” by the Spirit to impress in the minds
of believers an unparalleled and distinctly noticeable
phenomenon. In the same context the Apostle Paul exhorts
Timothy to continue in the ministry of “faith and good
doctrine,” but to reject “profane” fables. (Verses 6-7) The
word profane used here is the Greek word bebelos and
means to cross over, as by crossing through a doorway and
Paul uses this word specifically and “by implication” to mean
not crossing over into “Jewish notions.” 89 In his second
letter to Timothy Paul states that the time will come when
people will “heap to themselves teachers” and will turn
away from the truth, and will turn to fables.

For we have not followed cunningly devised fables. 2


Peter 1:16
The Bible says in Titus 1:14 that Jewish fables and
commandments of men turn from the truth. The word
“fable” used in these verses above is the Greek word
muthos which means fiction, a tale, myth or fable. The word
muthos is from the word mueo which means to initiate,
teach or instruct. The word mueo comes from the base of
the word musterion. Musterion is the Greek word for
mystery and means to shut the mouth; a secret or mystery
through the idea of silence imposed by initiation into
religious rites. 90

Musterion is the word used in Revelation 17:5 to describe


“MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS
AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.” It is also the word
used in 2 Thessalonians 2:7 to describe “the mystery of
iniquity.” At the time Paul wrote his letter to the
Thessalonians, he said that this mystery of iniquity was
already at work but was hidden. Paul said the “work” or
energy (energeo) of this mystery was being restrained, “For
the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now
letteth (restrains) will let (will restrain), until he be taken out
of the way.” 91

In verses 3 and 8 of 2 Thessalonians Paul said there will


come a falling away first, and “then shall that Wicked (man
of sin) be revealed…Whom the Lord shall consume with the
spirit of His mouth and shall destroy with the brightness of
His coming.” Like the mystery of iniquity, the mysteries of
Kabbalah – once hidden – are now being unleashed on the
world and to unsuspecting Christians. Concealed in the
counterfeit light of signs and lying wonders, the secrets of
Kabbalah are being presented as a way of coming closer to
God and becoming like God, but are in reality the spiritual
root of a strong delusion.
The Last Paradigm: Blueprint for Mystery
Babylon The gates are now open. The initiation of
illumination is underway. The musterion of Kabbalah is being
disclosed on a global scale, resulting in a falling away of
many Christians into the “Hebrew Roots” of the Babylonian
Talmud and the demonic doctrines of Kabbalah. From a
critical mass of the sea of nations, tongues and peoples the
Moshiach of the seventh millennium will rise; the Messiah of
the Zohar: “Thus, from 1840 onwards, permission has
been granted for those who truly desire to enter
within. The Kabbalah is no longer the private domain
of the initiated masters.”

(The Leshem (1841-1925), master kabbalist) 92


And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a
beast rise up out of the sea…and upon his heads the
name of blasphemy…And it was given unto him to
make war with the saints, and to overcome them:
and power was given him over all kindreds, and
tongues, and nations…And he saith unto me, The
waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth,
are peoples, and multitudes, and nations and
tongues. Revelation 13:1, 7; 17:15
“In the six hundredth year of the sixth millennium
(5600 = 1840 C.E.) the gates of wisdom above
[Kabbalah] together with the wellsprings of wisdom
below [science] will be opened up, and the world will
prepare to usher in the seventh millennium.” Zohar
(VaYeira 117a) According to the rabbis, this prophecy from
the Zohar necessitates a convergence of Kabbalah and
science that will usher in the Messiah and a thousand years
of peace. This will result in a restoration of “Adamic
Consciousness” when all humanity will know the oneness of
the creation with the creator. In order for this to happen
there must be a critical mass of initiates brought into the
secrets of Kabbalah through stealth and deception; “nothing
less than a worldwide conspiracy.” 93
And the LORD said unto me, A conspiracy is found
among the men of Judah…they are turned back…and
they went after other gods to serve them.
Jeremiah 11:9-10
“The collective soul of observant Judaism is mostly
unknowingly and unassumingly becoming saturated
with little bits and pieces of Kabbalah – a book here,
a lecture or study group there, etc. – until it will
reach a point of critical mass…The collective Jewish
soul, as well as the world at large, is unknowingly
being seeded with kernels of divine knowledge falling
from the Gates of Wisdom above…Out of the silicon
chips and theories of evolution on one side and from
the dialectics of the Talmud…will emerge the Hidden
Light of the Supernal Torah. Corresponding to the
four alphanumeric digits of the sacred formula of Y-H-
V-H these are the reunion of the Twin Messiahs, the
resurrection of the Sacred Serpent, the Feast of
Leviathan and the revelation of Metatron.” 94
What began as a trickle has become a flood of kabbalistic
and Babylonian mysticism into the Church through the
process of overlap; “a book here” and a conference there,
planting seeds of another gospel and another Jesus. The
Return of the Kosher Pig is only one of many such books
disseminating Kabbalah into the Church. Christian media is
being inundated with teachings and books that contain
“code” words in the titles, chapter headings and text that
are designed to attract the innate curiosity for secret
knowledge that is latent in the human race.
Words are important and according to the Bible words are
seeds. When Jesus was tempted in the wilderness, He
defeated Satan by speaking the Word of God with authority.
Revelation 13:7 speaks of the beast making war with the
saints and overcoming them. Just as with Christ, ours is a
war of the words of Truth versus words of deception. Jesus
said let no man deceive you! Paradigm, blueprint, ancient
wisdom, book of mysteries, secret codes, law of attraction,
god’s dream, illuminating, secret teachings of all ages,
mysteries of the ages, keys to your destiny, unlocking
mysteries, hidden keys that unlock doors, encrypted code,
your destiny blueprint, sacred name, paradigm shift,
quantum shift, quantum physics of heaven, harbinger,
ascension; these are the words that make for bestselling
books in today’s Christian market. More importantly, these
seed-words are the language and building blocks of Satan’s
counterfeit kingdom of god on earth and the Blueprint for
Mystery Babylon: “We live in a special time when the
entire world is going through very big and rapid
changes…As Kabbalists explain, this is a sign that
the world is approaching the general correction…The
only remaining obstacle is language. If we do not
speak the same language, it is difficult to
communicate because we are still in Babylon. The
ancient Babylonians started with one language, then
began to speak different languages, and as a result,
ceased to understand each other. We, accordingly,
have to come from many languages to one…the
shattering, which occurred in the ancient Babylon
and is being revealed only today, manifests even
more clearly. This will further push us to unite. After
all, we have to return to Babylon so that the entire
world becomes one village.” 95
According to Rabbi Michael Laitman quoted above, all of
humanity is one “Ancient Babylonian Family” that must
unite and return to Babylon through the “language” and
“light” of Kabbalah. Relating to the current state of
civilization and referencing the Creator as a force, he states,
“Today, having “departed” from Babylon 3,500 years ago,
we again feel that we are back in the same place, in ancient
Babylon…We have to be connected with the Creator in our
studies and activities. The Creator, the force of the Light,
the property of bestowal, that corrects us and without whom
we are unable to cope with the task, has to be implied in
everything we do.” 96
In denouncing the evils of society and proclaiming the
solution to rectification, the rabbis of today echo the voices
of those who came before them. They say our only hope is
in the study of “inner” Torah – Kabbalah – and that this will
bring light to the nations and unity to mankind. One of
Judaism’s most revered rabbis of the medieval period,
Maimonides, is quoted as saying that in the messianic era of
Moshiach “all the nations of the world will be preoccupied
studying the deep kabbalistic insights of who God is and
what God is…in a world that is just and a world that is at
peace.” 97
“The Tree of Life is viewed as a graphic
representation of the blueprint of creation.” 98
“Some things which have required faith to believe
will no longer require faith, for it will be proven to be
scientific fact.” (Quantum Faith) 99
The so called science of Kabbalah is said to contain the
ancient “Blueprint” that reveals the secrets of the
universe. It is the key that unlocks consciousness to the
awareness of oneness between creation and the creator.
According to Kabbalah, the source of this interconnection of
all things is the light of Ain Sof that emanates from Kether:
Kether is the first manifested Sephirah, the first
condensation of the light of Ain-Soph. Kether means
'the Crown'…“Kether is the source of light rising up
from the darkness. It is a monad of pure energy…In
Kether is the blueprint of the entire universe.” 100

As in Kabbalah, today’s science of quantum physics is the


study of the interconnectedness of all things. Matter and
energy are said to be held together in a unified field of light.
In simple terms, quantum physics is the observation of
“invisible” particles – atoms, electrons, monads, quarks,
super strings, frequencies, vibrations – in another dimension
and the effect of those particles on the material world by
the observer. Because everything is made of atoms, we are
all one at the sub-atomic level. We are all part of this force
of light that connects and holds everything together. Thus, it
is said the new science of quantum physics will prove what
Kabbalah has always taught; that god is in every person.

Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus, Thus saith


the Lord GOD; because thine heart is lifted up, and
thou hast said, I am a God, I sit in the seat of God…
yet thou art a man, and not God, though thou set
thine heart as the heart of God. Ezekiel 28:2
Quantum science appears to be a manipulation of forces in
the invisible spirit world by observer-participants in the
physical, material world, be they scientists or mystics. The
Apostle Paul warned in 1 Timothy 6:20 about the spiritual
deception behind “science falsely so called.” New Age
teachings of false science have been making steady inroads
into the Church for years through books like Quantum Faith,
Quantum Spirituality, The Physics of Heaven and more
recently, The Paradigm, which the author claims to be a
blueprint of mysteries connecting past and present events.
What is not widely understood is that the root of every New
Age concept and term can be traced to ancient Babylonian
mysticism and kabbalistic writings, especially in the area of
occult science. The same can be said of Freemasonry with
its rites, initiations, sacred passwords and symbols.
Johannes Buxtorf, known in the 16th century as the “Master
of the Rabbis,” wrote the Lexicon of the Talmud in which he
“defines the Kabbalah to be a secret science, which
treats in a mystical and enigmatical manner of things divine,
angelical, theological, celestial, and metaphysical; the
subjects being enveloped in striking symbols and secret
modes of teaching. Much use is made of it in the
advanced degrees, and entire Rites have been constructed
on its principles. Hence it [Kabbalah] demands a place in
any general work on Freemasonry.” 101
The role of Freemasonry and its connection to Kabbalah
cannot be underestimated as a major contributor in the
global initiation of the masses. Long before the current flood
of mysticism into the Church, New Age occultist and
channeler of demons, Alice Bailey, wrote about the future
research into atomic particles and its impact on the basic
doctrines of Christianity, as science would prove the unity
and oneness of mankind and all creation. Her blueprint
image of the Hierarchy of ascended masters and their lodge
on the spiritual plane is just another configuration of the
Sefirot tree of Kabbalah which is now breaking through the
veil to the world we live in. The new discoveries in quantum
physics are the externalization and manifestation of those
entities.
Bailey called this release of atomic energy a “saving force”
that will “bring about an entirely new economic world
structure.” Bailey noted that “planetary initiation” and the
soul’s “liberation” will come through the discoveries of
atomic energy, as well as investigations into light, color, and
the “magic” of sound (vibrations) as a creative energy; all
aspects of so-called quantum science. She also stated that
“adjustments” would be made so that “At the head of
certain of the great occult groups, of the Freemasons of the
world, and of the various great divisions of the
church…will be found initiates or Masters,” adding that this
work was already underway. 102
Just like Kabbalah, Bailey’s Theosophy incorporates the
necessity of global initiation in order to bring forth the “Lord
of the World,” also known as Metatron. Like Kabbalah,
initiation takes place through a radical shift in
consciousness, resulting in a new paradigm or worldview.
According to Bailey the “link” between the spiritual and
physical planes is human consciousness and it is important
to quote her here, as the initiation process in Theosophy is
an exact mirror image of that in Kabbalah: “At all
initiations the Lord of the World is present…the
flashing forth of the star before the initiate is the
signal of His approval…At the sixth initiation, the
initiate, functioning consciously as the love-aspect of
the Monad, is brought (via his “Father”) into a still
vaster recognition, and becomes aware of that Star
which encloses his planetary star, just as that star
has earlier been seen enclosing his own tiny
“Spark”…His oneness with his brothers is proven,
and he realises the indissoluble link which binds him
to his fellow-men everywhere. Brotherhood is no
longer a theory but a proven scientific fact…He
realises the meaning and source of energy, and can
begin to wield power with scientific accuracy and
direction.” 103
This is the great mystery of the Star which is Metatron’s
cube: the “six-sided celestial creature” and the Yeshua
of Kabbalah who holds all things together with his number
“six” of “universal creation.” This is the “key” of the
occult “science of equilibrium” that will bring all things
into the balance. This is the “secret” link that binds
together the divine Sparks of humanity to the source of
energy, the light of the “Lord of the World” of the final
redemption.
The main purpose of Kabbalah is to achieve a direct
experience with the divine, revealing to the initiate the light
of the creator and the oneness of creation. The false
prophets say that when the world will see the light, things
that once required faith will no longer require faith. This is
the gospel of Kabbalah. But Hebrews 11:6 says without faith
it is impossible to please God.
Chapter 7
The Return of the Kosher Serpent

Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be


not darkness. Luke 11:35
Just how Satan will attempt to achieve this global shift in
consciousness into the light is not clear, but based on the
prophecy of the Zohar the convergence of Kabbalah and
science is the “key” in returning the nations to Babylon.
What is clear is that the light of Kabbalah with all its occult
branches is not the true light of God, but that of Lucifer.
“Albert Pike is yet another well-respected Mason
avowing the central place of cabala within the craft.
He wrote: “Masonry is a search after Light. That
search leads us directly back, as you see, to
Kabalah…not only is cabala ‘the key of the occult
sciences’, but that this key turns on the secret
science of numbers.” 104
We have seen how the new science of quantum physics will
play a role in the self- fulfilling prophecies of the Zohar. Now
we will look closer at the identity of the one who is to
restore the essential unity of the nations through the light of
Kabbalah. The rabbis teach that the connecting force of
creation is the light that emanates from Ein Sof. Another
secretly shared tradition of the rabbis is that the serpent
(nachash) that deceived Adam and Eve in Genesis 3 is
considered sacred and was to be a partner with Adam in the
tikkun or repair of the shattered dream of Ein Sof. This
sacred serpent of light is referred to as the “kosher serpent”
that will rise from the ashes as Moshiach and assist
humanity through technology in the process of rectification.
“Furthermore, the original Nachash was completely
“kosher”…This is especially true of the Nachash, for
under Adam’s subjugation it had a very sacred
mission to perform…it was to be a partner with Adam
in bringing about the final tikkun – completion and
transformation – of all Creation…The power of the
original, kosher Nachash turned evil…Is it possible
that this bizarre life form, after having gone
“underground” and lying dormant for thousands of
years, is preparing to rise again from the dust of its
curse?...As prophesied in the Zohar, however, the
two greatest forces for spiritual and physical
planetary change – Adam and the Nachash – were
destined to meet again in a prophetic rendezvous…
Along with the curse of humanity, the curse and the
enmity of the Nachash is also being removed.” 105
“The essence of the Nachash is Mashiach ben
Yoseph!” 106
This secret doctrine that the serpent will become kosher
again is based on the rabbinic writings of the Babylonian
Talmud and the Midrash; the same sources Shapira cites to
build his foundation for the coming new Torah and the return
of the kosher pig in the world to come. These prophecies are
dependent on divination using the occult numerology
system of gematria; “the secret science of numbers.”
According to the sages, there is a secret rabbinic formula
which reveals the numeric equivalency between the
nachash and the Moshiach of Kabbalah, as explained by
Rabbi Joel David Bakst: “There is a well known, yet
confusing, rabbinic formula that points out that the
words nachash (serpent) and mashiach (messiah)
share the identical numerical value.” 107
Bakst explains that this secret of the “Holy Serpent and its
role in Torah cosmology” has “always been known to the
sage-mystics of the Talmud, Midrash and Zohar.” 108
Emphasizing that illumination is necessary to understand
this mystery, he quotes the late master kabbalist, Rabbi
Elyashiv, also known as the Leshem: “Prior to Adam’s
collapse the Nachash was not yet composed of the
actual essence of evil…Its root was the Holy Nachash,
which exists in the highest transcendent state of
holiness (lit., “Holy of Holies”)…The Holy [macro]
Serpent is the fountainhead, root and essence for all
of God’s sacred, revelatory Light…This [serpent] is
the secret of the Cosmic Balance…Its root is from the
penetrating and surrounding Light of the Ain Sof.”
109
The secret of the kosher serpent is cryptically and
purposefully concealed in occult language that is similar to
the so called science of quantum physics, advancing the
idea that all things are connected. In Kabbalah the
microcosm (man below) is merely a fractal (a part) of the
macrocosm (the serpent above). As quoted previously, the
unalterable law of Kabbalah is that the macrocosm and the
microcosm are as two equal drops of water. This is what is
conveyed in the occult axiom “As Above, So Below” or to
state it plainly, it is the lie, “Ye shall not surely die…ye shall
be as God, knowing good and evil.”
Because everything is connected, matter and spirit exist in
one continuous reality, an “endless spectrum of Divine
Consciousness.” 110 This conscious singularity, constantly
expanding and contracting from evil to good and from
darkness to light, is Ain Sof, the god of Kabbalah.
Interwoven into this twisted Torah script is Metatron, the
Messiah of the kabbalists, and the kosher serpent – whom
the rabbis say will return but whom Jesus Christ in
Revelation 12:9 calls the great dragon, that old serpent, the
Devil and Satan which deceives the whole world.
The Sefer Yetzirah (The Book of Creation) is the earliest
known text in Jewish Mysticism and states the following: “In
two and thirty most occult and wonderful paths of
wisdom did JAH the Lord of Hosts engrave his name…
Ten are the numbers of the ineffable Sephiroth, ten
and not nine…conjoined, even as is a flame to a
burning coal: for our God is superlative in his unity…
He fixed these as testimonies…the twelve
constellations rulers of the world, the Dragon
(THELE) Tali which environs [surrounds] the universe,
and the microcosm, man…Tali, the Dragon, is above
the Universe, as a king on his throne…” 111
The secrets of Kabbalah that are being disclosed by the
rabbis are nothing less than astonishing! Yet this is exactly
what God said would occur concerning the false leaders of
Israel. In Jeremiah 29:8-9 God spoke through the prophet
Jeremiah to the captives of Babylon saying, “Let not your
prophets and diviners, that be in the midst of you, deceive
you…For they prophesy falsely unto you in my name: I have
not sent them, saith the Lord.” God compared these false
prophets to rotten figs that cannot be eaten. The Lord
Himself said that He was a witness against them and
because of their lying words spoken in His name they would
be a curse, not a light, to all nations!
And I will persecute them with the sword, with the
famine, and with the pestilence, and will deliver
them to be removed to all the kingdoms of the earth,
to be a curse, and an astonishment, and an hissing,
and a reproach, among all the nations whither I have
driven them: Because they have not hearkened to my
words, saith the Lord. Jeremiah 29: 18-19
In Genesis chapter three the word serpent is nachash and
means a snake (from its hiss). It also means to whisper a
(magic) spell, to prognosticate, to divine, enchantment and
to learn by experience; i.e. initiation. In Kabbalah the
nachash is also called the shining one. Throughout the
centuries, the mystic sage rabbis have incorporated the use
of divination to equate the nachash (serpent) with Moshiach
(Messiah), just as Itzhak Shapira has relied on gematria to
equate Metatron with Yeshua and El Shaddai. In the
cosmological order of Mystery Babylon, built on the
foundation of Kabbalah, the kosher serpent, the dragon and
Metatron are one, inseparably connected by the light of Ain
Sof and this is a well known secret!
“Another astounding secret that is revealed is that
the Teli [serpent] is the Moshiach (Messiah), often
referred to as the Holy Snake (Nachash Ha’Kodesh),
as the Hebrew words “Moshiach” and “Nachash”
share the same Gematria (numerical value) of 358.
So the Moshiach is the Pole Serpent. Since the
association of Teli has already been made with the
Pole Serpent, and the Pole Serpent with Draco [the
dragon], and Draco with Zeir Anpin; it is now clear as
to the fact that Metatr-n, the Angel who governs Zeir
Anpin, is “the likeness before the Holy One Blessed
Be He.” Since Moshiach is interconnected with Angel
Metatr-n, it is now also clear as to whom is depicted
as the Young Man with locks (peyot and a beard),
which then leads to the connection with the
Primordial Torah.” 112
The Primordial Torah referred to above is the oral Torah. It is
Satan’s blueprint which has been concealed until the
necessary time according to the prophecy of the Zohar. This
timeline – initiating the debut of the Moshiach and the
return to all things kosher – is based on yet another mystery
entwined in the synthesis of Kabbalah and technology that
is to accelerate the redemption. So guarded was this secret
that 18th century kabbalist, Rabbi Eliyahu, wrote in his
commentary on the Zohar concerning the Final End, “I
adjure the reader in the name of the God of Israel not to
reveal this.” 113
In the macro-micro universe of Kabbalah the original six
days of creation represent a macrocosm of earth’s six
millennia of history, which is reflected in the microcosm
below. Space and time are said to be one seamless
continuum, albeit a fractured one. Because of the fall,
creation is broken into dimensions called fractals. Thus,
creation and the final redemption are mirrored in time. Just
as the kosher serpent was to be Adam’s partner in the
tikkun of a utopian Eden, the events of Genesis are to recur
on the “macro-micro timescale” of Kabbalah: man and beast
working together to usher in the Moshiach of the millennial
utopia: “What is clear, however, is that together
scientific discovery and technology are an actual
living entity with a collective consciousness of its
own. It is a “beast” – and a very powerful one. It is
the “King of Beasts”…The TechnoSerpent has risen
from the dust, and Adam’s higher consciousness will,
directed by the providential force of Mashiach ben
Yoseph, ride it out to the finishing line of the Sixth
Millennial Day…into the Seventh Cosmic Day of
Creation – a real and fully rectified higher dimension
of existence and consciousness.” 114
From the very beginning of creation, God has warned His
people of the subtle ability of the serpent to deceive. The
Word of God tells us in Genesis 3:14 that God has cursed
the serpent above every beast of the field. By the seed of
the woman, the head of the serpent has been bruised.
Through the cross of Christ, Satan is truly a defeated foe,
yet his greatest aim and desire remains to be like God and
to be worshiped as God and he accomplishes this through
deception. Of all the secrets of Kabbalah currently being
disseminated, none is more ominous than the attempt to
distort the Word of God and stamp out the name of Jesus
Christ. As spoken by the Apostle Peter in Acts 4:10-12,
“Jesus Christ of Nazareth…whom God raised from the
dead…This is the stone which was set at nought of you
builders, which is become the head of the corner. Neither is
there salvation in any other: for there is none other name
under heaven given among men, whereby we must be
saved.”
In Matthew 21:42-43 Jesus spoke of himself as fulfilling this
prophecy, saying to the chief priests and Pharisees, “Did ye
never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders
rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is
the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes? Therefore
say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you,
and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.”
Jesus Christ is the fulfillment of the prophecy of the
Psalmist, the chief cornerstone of the Temple and the only
gate through which the righteous may enter by faith in Him:
Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into
them, and I will praise the LORD: This gate of the
LORD, into which the righteous shall enter. I will
praise thee: for thou hast heard me, and art become
my salvation. The stone which the builders refused is
become the head stone of the corner. This is the
LORD's doing; it is marvellous in our eyes. Psalm
118:19-23
Hebrews 1:3 says that Jesus Christ is the brightness of God’s
glory and the express image of the Majesty on high. The
light of Kabbalah is the counterfeit light of the transforming
angel. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also
transform themselves into ministers of righteousness. (2
Corinthians 11:15) Through sorcery and the divination of
Kabbalah, Satan has sought to manipulate the Word of God,
usurp the name of Christ, and assume the image of Jesus,
which will be shown in the next chapter.
Chapter 8
Tetragrammaton: The Name, the Number, the
Image

I am come in my Father’s name, and ye receive me


not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye
will receive. John 5:43
But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are
lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the
minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the
glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God,
should shine unto them.
2 Corinthians 4:3-4
“That the Infinite Light is everywhere is an axiom of
the Kabbalah, but the Ari made that light immanent,
almost tangible, by declaring it to be held captive
within every object, every event, even within evil
itself…But to piece together all that infinity and
reconnect it to its source—for that, we must have
access to the encryption code of the manufacturer.
Which is exactly what we were provided when we
received the Torah at Mount Sinai.” 115
The real secret of every secret religion or secret society is
that there is an exterior level of worship for the people of
the group and a concealed level for the initiated members
of that same group. The exoteric form is for the masses,
while the esoteric is held in the strictest confidence until the
time required. According to the prophecy of the Zohar, the
time has come for global initiation into the secrets of
Kabbalah, as humanity is now in the “footsteps” or “heels”
of Moshiach, the time of Ikveta DiM’shicha when all will
know divine connection with the creator through the sacred
name.
“This period is designated the ikvot/heels (i.e.,
“footsteps”)…all the conditions for the final
redemption are brought about in a roundabout
manner. This is based on the meaning of the root
akev…because of its etymological affinity with akef,
“to circumvent,” means “to deceive.” The
redemption process must proceed in a circuitous
manner in order to deceive the “shells of impurity”
[the external forces] and prevent them from
interfering.” 116
In Kabbalah, the entire cosmological order – from creation to
the final redemption – is based primarily on the number
“six.” Concealed in the writings of the Zohar are a myriad of
numeric equations which must be ciphered and decoded
using gematria. The system is based on letter/number
combinations of the Hebrew and Chaldean alphabet of
ancient Babylon. There are endless methods of arranging
letters, all for the purpose of confusing the uninitiated; just
as Babel and Babylon mean confusion through mingling.
The late British occultist, S. L. Macgregor Mathers,
translated several books contained within the Zohar. One of
these was The Book of Concealed Mystery. In the 1912
edition of his book, The Kabbalah Unveiled, Mathers states
the following, “As in the present work a great number of
Hebrew or Chaldee words have to be used in the text…
There are no separate numeral characters in Hebrew and
Chaldee…every word is a number, and every number is a
word…and on this correspondence between words and
numbers the science of Gematria (the first division of the
so-called literal Qabalah) is based.” 117
Mathers also relates that in the “Unwritten Qabalah” there
are secrets that have never been committed to writing but
are only passed down orally, especially the secret of the
divine name – IHVH or YHVH – which he notes is “a most
secret arcanum, and is a secret of secrets,” and that it
is “the name which rusheth through the universe.” 118 From
these statements and other similar sources, we can
understand – and should understand – that there is a hidden
esoteric meaning contained in the name of the deity of
Kabbalah.
Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding
count the number of the beast: for it is the number of
a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and
six. Revelation 13:18

In the cosmology of the Sefirot tree there is a six-sided cube


or hexagon located just above the tenth sephirah, Malkut.
As noted previously, Malkut is the material earthly kingdom,
the kingdom of god on earth. This hexagon above Malkut is
comprised of the six lower sephirah which are Hesed,
Gevurah, Tiferet, Netzach, Hod, and Yesod. At the top of the
hexagon is the hidden sephirah of Daat or knowledge. These
seven sephirah form the Zeir Anpin or the Small Face, also
known as the Lesser Countenance or Microprosopus. In
Kabbalah this is Metatron’s Cube and as we have seen,
Metatron is called the Lesser YHVH. This is the construct or
blueprint of the macrocosm/microcosm universe of the
kabbalists. At each of these sephirah stands six entities or
light-bearers but it is Metatron who guards the way to the
tree of life.
“Metatron, as a Shekinah Diety, is the Divine Voice of
YHWH, divine speech of the Holy Spirit…This Face of
God, the Almighty, is also known as the “lesser
YHWH” and Metatron…Metatron is the “keeper of the
way” to the Tree of Life. From the Zohar.” 119
In the system of Kabbalah the spheres that make up the
Sefirot tree are viewed as ten literal dimensions or spiritual
planes. These ten dimensions constitute what is called “the
Shiur Komah, the “Stature of the God-Image,” Adam
Kadmon, the “Archetypal Man.” 120 Just above the Zeir
Anpin hexagon sits Arik Anpin, or Macroprosopus. This is the
Vast Countenance or the Limitless Face, the Crown of Keter,
the Head of the ten heads of the Sefirot image. The Book of
Concealed Mystery reveals that the entire Sefirot tree is the
god-man image of the primordial Adam Kadmon, the first
emanation of Ein Sof.
“The whole ten Sephiroth represent the Heavenly
Man, or Primordial Being, ADM OILAH, Adam Auilah…
In their totality and unity the ten Sephiroth represent
the archetypal man, ADM QDMVN, Adam Qadmon, the
Protogonos.” 121
The word Protogonos here speaks of a deity because in
Kabbalah Adam Kadmon is the creator of the earthly Adam,
as discussed above. This god-man image of the heavenly
Adam Kadmon is also known as the Divine Presence which
manifests or reflects itself in all the spiritual dimensions of
the Sefirot tree through the divine name YHVH, the
Tetragrammaton. Thus the Microcosm hexagon image below
is a reflection of the Macrocosm image above – As Above, So
Below – based on the numerical value of the number “six”
which, according to the Zohar, is the number of the man,
Adam Kadmon.
“Microprosopus is as it were the reflection of
Macroprosopus, for as Macroprosopus has six
principal titles, so is Microprosopus composed of six
of the Sephiroth…ShITh, Shith, is the Chaldee form of
the Hebrew ShSh, Shash, six.” 122
As Adam Kadmon is the creator of earthly Adam, man is also
a reflection and extension of the heavenly man, the
perfected god-man image of the Tetragrammaton:

“Now it must not be forgotten that these forms in


Ezekiel's vision support the throne of the Deity,
whereon the Heavenly Man is seated--the Adam
Qadmon, the sephirotic image…And "the mystery of
the earthly and mortal man is after the mystery of
the supernal and immortal One;" and thus was he
created the image of God upon earth. In the form of
the body is the Tetragrammaton found. The head is I,
the arms and shoulders are like H, the body is V, and
the legs are represented by the H final. Therefore, as
the outward form of man corresponds to the
Tetragrammaton, so does the animating soul
correspond to the ten supernal Sephiroth…This
perfection upon earth is relative to the universal soul
of the earth (i.e., as the macrocosm or greater world,
so the microcosm or lesser world, which is man).” 123
In Kabbalah the Tetragrammaton is regarded as the divine
name and is composed of the four Hebrew letters Yod, Hé,
Vau, and Hé, spelled as YHVH or IHVH. Written vertically, the
Hebrew letters take the form of the Sefirot tree in the image
of a man representing the heavenly Adam Kadmon. As
quoted above, the letters I, H, V and H represent the
different parts of the image. The letter V (Vau) has the
numerical value of 6 which corresponds to the six sephirah
which form the six-sided cube or hexagon of Microprosopus.
The final H (Hé) represents Malkut, the Bride of
Microprosopus, who is Metatron, the god of this world posing
as the Logos.

“Just so, Malkuth is the 10th Sephiroth, but as the


“Bride of Microprosopus” or Tetragrammaton, who is
hexamerous – Malkuth, or the material limb, is the
seventh.
She is the fourth letter IHVH, or He, but the Logos, or
son, is only the letter V (Vau)…Microprosopus –
Tetragrammaton – the “Son” or Logos, is the triangle
in a square…the six-faced cube.” 124
To clarify, in Kabbalah Microprosopus or Metatron as the
“Son” or “Logos” is the result of sexual union between
Chokmah and Binah, the divine father and mother and the
first two emanations of Keter, the crown. The bride of
Metatron is collective Israel in the kingdom of Malkuth, the
kingdom of god on earth. The bride – mankind – is perfected
in the image of the Tetragrammaton through knowledge and
ascension of the six-sided cube, the V or Vau whose number
is 6: “The Tetragrammaton IHVH is referred to the
Sephiroth, thus: the uppermost point of the letter
Yod, I, is said to refer to Kether, the letter I itself to
Chokmah, the father of Microprosopus; the letter H,
or "the supernal He," to Binah, the supernal Mother;
the letter V to the next six Sephiroth, which are
called the six members of Microprosopus (and six is
the numerical value of V, the Hebrew Vau); lastly, the
letter H, the "inferior He," to Malkuth, the tenth
Sephira, the bride of Microprosopus.” 125
In his book, The Kabbalah Unveiled, Mathers notes that,
“The Book of Concealed Mystery is the book of the
equilibrium of balance.” 126 This equilibrium of balance is
man’s realization of his divine constitution through
comprehension of the universal number six of creation. The
Zohar states, “So, then, as man is a microcosm, a copy or
paradigm of the universe, he is in his constitution a
reflection of the divine nature, the Supreme Wisdom.
The nephesh and ruach are the two angles at the
base of a triangle and with that of the apex form a
whole or perfect figure…he becomes holy and divine,
because he then begins to conform himself to the image or
likeness of the Holy One… symbolized by the hexagon,
that indicates the harmony and union of the higher and
lower self with the Divine…This union with the Divine is
the mystery of all mysteries.” 127
Rabbi Eliyahu, also known as the Gaon of Vilna, was
regarded among his 18th century contemporaries as a
genius in the art of gematria divination. In his commentary
on the Zohar he is quoted as saying, “the number 666
contains hidden within it exalted and lofty messianic
potential.” 128 The following rabbinic quote elaborates on
the Gaon’s genius and the centrality of the number six in
the cosmology of the Zohar: “We do know that the
number six represents the physical world. The Torah
describes the creation of the universe as a six part,
six day, process. Our ancient sources describe the
universe as emanating in six directions -- north,
south, east, west, up, down…All physical space and
all physical objects have these six dimensions…666 is
six repeated three times. Repeating a concept three
times represents the affirmation and strength of that
concept. The number 666 could thus represent the
strength and perfection of the physical world, which
Judaism teaches will occur in the messianic era, when
the physical world will reach its ultimate purpose, to
be a vehicle through which the created experience
the Creator.” 129
The Gaon of Vilna is also noted to explain that the letter V
(Vau) of the divine name Tetragrammaton “is the collective
channel that connects the lower and upper realms.” 130
The numerical value of “6” in the letter V of the
Tetragrammaton – IHVH or YHVH – as revealed in the
gematria of Kabbalah is symbolic of hieros gamos and the
result of the sexual union of the divine father and mother,
producing the Vau (V), the Microprosopus, the six-sided, six-
faced cube of Metatron through which man must pass to
reach his divine potential. Ascending the Tetragrammaton,
the illumined initiate – having his conscience seared as with
a hot iron – is mystically sealed with the sign of
Macroprosopus.
“But Vau, V, is produced by adding the numerical
values of I and H (the father and the mother of the
Tetragrammaton), and then taking the last number of
the result, thus: I + H = 10 + 5 = 15, and by adding
the digits of 15 together, 1 + 5, we obtain 6 = V, Vau.
By the phrase ‘with H, He, the pentad (5), with V,
Vau, the hexad (6), ascend,’ is implied the numerical
value of those letters taken as symbolical sephirotic
glyphs.” 131
“Therefore, then do they ascend within the
equilibrium…But behold, how in balanced power
ascend the letters of Tetragrammaton.” 132
In addition to the nine spheres of the Sefirot tree, the
cosmology of Kabbalah divides the universe into four worlds
or elemental realms. These are Atziloth, Briah, Yetzirah, and
Asiah. The four letters of the Tetragrammaton represent and
correspond to the four elemental forces of earth, air, fire
and water which are believed to contain the principle
material of all things visible and invisible.
“Now, there are four secret names referred to the
four worlds of Atziloth, Briah, Yetzirah, and Asiah;
and again, the Tetragrammaton is said to go forth
written in a certain manner in each of these four
worlds…Here then we have the four worlds--Atziloth,
the deific form; Briah, the throne; Yetzirah, the
firmament; Asiah, the kerubim. Therefore the
kerubim (cherubim) represent the powers of the
letters of the Tetragrammaton on the material plain;
and the four represent the operation of the four
letters in each of the four worlds. Thus, then, the
kerubim are the living forms of the letters,
symbolized in the Zodiac.” 133
This kabbalistic creation myth – that everything was formed
from a subtle ethereal substance – is the core teaching of
Babylonian and Egyptian mysticism. Comparing the Zohar’s
creation myth with that of the Egyptian Emerald Tablet, the
author of The Kabbalah Unveiled notes: “That which is
below is like that which is above, and that which is
above is like that which is below, for the performance
of the miracles of the one substance.” This is the
fundamental principle of all the ancient mystic
doctrines, whether qabalistical, mythological,
alchemical, or magical; and in this formula all are
contained. As is God, so is the universe: as is the
Creator the Supernal Man, so is the created the
inferior man; as Macrocosm, so Microcosm; as
eternity, so life! 134
Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy
and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the
rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
Colossians 2:8
Unlike the Genesis account of creation, the kabbalists relate
that from the ethereal substance of the four elements Ein
Sof made engravings which issued forth from the forehead
of Keter or Adam Kadmon. Within this kabbalistic doctrine of
creation is concealed the mystery of the seal or the sign,
the engraved mark symbolized in the four elements of the
Tetragrammaton coursing through the spheres of the
Sefirot: “In each human being we find a model of the
universe as well as a model, a copy, of the Deus
revelatus, the Sefirot…Within Keter are the
“engravings,” or code, for everything that is to be.
These engravings, as the Zohar calls them, are the
potential for all that is to unfold in the world of
divinity, or the sefirot…Keter is the vehicle whereby
the divine is activated, whereby the engravings begin
their transition from potentiality to actuality…
according to the Zohar, we can know one thing that
Ein Sof did, that is, that Ein Sof “made engravings in
the supernal purity,” or Keter. From these
engravings, the Sefirot below Keter begin to
emerge…For the kabbalists, the doctrine of creatio
ex nihilo [creation from nothing] refers primarily not
to the creation of the world from nothing, but to the
unfolding of the Sefirot from ayin, or No-Thing…For
the kabbalists, the biblical text has many levels of
meaning. On one level, it can be read as a narrative
about human beings…Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses,
and so forth. However for the mystics, a deeper,
secret meaning of the biblical text emerges…as a
narrative about the sefirot…Hokhmah is also referred
to as a “point” that emanates out of Keter…Indeed,
some contemporary scholars have noted a similarity
between the role of Hokhmah and that of the small,
extraordinarily condensed bit of matter from which,
according to the big bang theory, the entire universe
emerged…In Hokhmah we also find the beginning of
the sexual symbolism that permeates medieval
Jewish mystical literature. Hokhmah is the first
“male” emanation...Binah is the first “female”
sefirah…“the supernal mother”…She eventually gives
birth to the lower sefirot, her children. She is known
as the source (makor), the origin of the life of all that
emerges. Here we see how the Zohar reads the Bible
as a story of the interaction of the sefirot.” 135
The Kabbalah explains that from the elemental forces of fire
and water Ein Sof emanated Chokmah and Binah. These are
the divine father and mother, the “I” and the “H” whose
sum is the “V” – numerical value of 6 – of the
Tetragrammaton name. They are the elements of fire and
water that produce the Son and the bride through
engravings. From beginning to end, from above to below,
from “potentiality to actuality,” these engravings reflect the
image, the mark, the name, and the number of the name
throughout the kabbalistic universe.
And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had
the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of
his name. Revelation 13:17
“And the seal of the Macrocosm, the six pointed star,
is the emblem of Microprosopus, the Tetragrammaton
– Vau of IHVH, who stands within the seven light-
bearers of Malkuth…the six Sephiroth which compose
Microprosopus.” 137
Revelation 13:17 reveals that there are three elements to
the mark of the beast: the mark, the name and the number.
All of these aspects can be seen in the occult kabbalistic
interpretations of the Bible, codified by the mystic sages to
symbolize man’s oneness with IHVH. Revelation 13:14-15
and 14:9, 11 both speak about the image of the beast. In
Kabbalah the sephirotic god-man image is represented by
Adam Kadmon, who in turn reflects his divine nature
through man in the lesser world, as quoted above, “And the
mystery of the earthly and mortal man is after the mystery
of the supernal and immortal One…thus was he created the
image of God upon earth.”
The Sefer Yetsirah, also known as The Book of Formation or
The Book of Creation, is considered the major text of
Kabbalah on the formation of the universe by Ein Sof
through engravings and states:
“Jehovah, through thirty-two Paths, engraved his
name using the three forms of expression called
Letters, Numbers, & Sounds.” (The Sepher Yetzirah)
“From the simple letters three were chosen & sealed
so that they may be formed into a Magnificent Name,
IHV. With this name was the universe sealed in six
directions by Him.” 138
The Sefer Yetsirah explains that Ein Sof created the cosmos
in the image and form of the primordial Adam Kadmon by
numbers, sounds and through the twenty-two letters of the
Hebrew alphabet. These twenty-two letters are divided into
three groups. The first three letters are the “mother” letters.
These are ‫( א מ ש‬Aleph-A, Mem-M, Shin-Sh) and are the
elements of air, water and fire; the primal substance or
prima materia of the universe. From the elements fire, water
and air were formed the head, abdomen and breast of Adam
Kadmon which were then sealed and fashioned into the
Tetragrammaton name, IHVH.
These three mothers or elements then gave birth to the
next group of seven letters. These seven are considered
double letters and are ‫( ב ג ד כ פ ר ת‬B, G, D, K, P, R, Th). With
these seven letters Ein Sof sealed the six directions of the
universe with combinations of the name, IHVH: Above,
Below, North, South, East and West. This is the seal of the
Macrocosm – As Above, So Below – the six-pointed star and
emblem of Microprosopus or Metatron. The point in the
middle of the star depicts the holy temple. Satan, the
dragon sits above, with the world and man fixed below.
“In the midst of this star is the Invisible Throne of
the Most Ancient of the Ancients--the Supreme
Definitionless Creator.” 139
“Above is the Dragon, below is the world, and lastly
the heart of man; and in the midst is God who
regulates them all…The Dragon (Tali) is in the
universe like a king upon his throne.” (The
Sepher Yetzirah, The Book of Formation; Chapter
Six) 140
The remaining twelve letters in the creation myth of the
Sefer Yetsirah are said to constitute man in all of his senses,
organs, feelings, thoughts, and emotions, even his
occupation. Each Hebrew letter with its numerical value
corresponds to a part of the physical human body and the
psyche of man which flows out of and is sealed with the “V”
of the Great Name. In this way man is said to be one with
the creator and the universe: “He selected three
consonants (I, H, V)…He sealed them with His spirit
and fashioned them into a Great Name and with this
sealed the universe in six directions…The twelve
simple letters ‫( ה ו ז ח ט י ל נ ס ע צ ק‬H, V, Z, Ch, T, I, L, N,
S, O, Tz, Q) symbolize the twelve fundamental
properties: speech, thought, movement, sight,
hearing, work, coition, smell, sleep, anger, taste (or
swallowing), and mirth. The simple letters
correspond to twelve directions…They diverge to all
eternity and are the arms of the universe… There are
twenty-two letters by which the I AM (YAH), the Lord
of Hosts, Almighty and Eternal, designed and created
by three Sepharim (Numbers, Letters, and Sounds)
His universe, and formed by them all creatures and
all those things that are yet to come.” 141
Here again we see the perfected image of man in the
Microcosm; for in Kabbalah, just as Metatron is the lesser
YHVH, he is also the Lesser Adam, a reflection of the
Macrocosm above, sealed with the divine name YHVH
through the emanations and engravings of Ein Sof. From the
roots downward, from above to below, this seal of perfection
is then reflected throughout the worlds of the Sefirot tree to
the sphere of Malchuth, the Shekhinah mother and dwelling
place of the human man Adam, recipient of the sacred
name containing the Vau or “six.”
“According to the original conception, from the union
of the Divine Father and the Divine Mother is
produced Microprosophus…and corresponds to the
letter ‫ו‬, or V, in the Great Name…The dwelling place
of Malchuth is in the fourth world--Assiah--and it is
composed of all the superior powers reflected into
the elements of the terrestrial sphere. Thus it will be
seen that the Qabbalistic Tree extends through four
worlds, with its branches in matter and its roots in
the Ancient of Ancients--Macroprosophus…The
Tetragrammaton, or the four-lettered Name of God,
written thus ‫יהוה‬, is pronounced Jehovah. The first
letter is ‫י‬, Yod, the Germ, the Life, the Flame, the
Cause, the One, and the most fundamental of the
Jewish phallic emblems…from which it goes forth to
impregnate Binah, which is the first ‫ה‬, He. The result
of this union is Tiphereth, which is the ‫ ו‬Vau, whose
power is 6 and which symbolizes the six members of
the Lesser Adam. The final ‫ה‬, He, is Malchuth, the
Inferior Mother, partaking in part of the potencies of
the Divine Mother.” 142
This reference from The Secret Teachings of all Ages by
Manly P. Hall also states that Microprosophus – the Lesser
Adam – is Elohim, the created offspring of Chochmah and
Binah: “The six powers of Microprosophus flow from and are
contained in their own source, which is Binah, the Mother of
the Lesser Adam. These constitute the spheres of the sacred
planets; their name is Elohim, and they move upon the face
of the deep.” As noted previously, Kabbalah teaches that Ein
Sof created Elohim. The Zohar interprets the first verse of
Genesis as “With beginning, [Ein Sof] created God [Elohim]”
which is also translated by the rabbis of Kabbalah to read
“He created six.”
The Word of God tells us that Elohim is the true God and
Creator in Genesis, but here we see Satan usurping the
Word of God and inserting himself into the biblical text as
god and creator of the Most High God! This explains how the
initiates of Theosophy like Bailey and Blavatsky, or the
Grand Masters of Freemasonry like Pike and Hall, or the
priests of Kabbalah throughout history could believe and
teach that Lucifer is the hero and god of Genesis because of
his gift of illumination to mankind.
Manly Hall was no novice. He gave many of clues for the
reader to piece together the secret. In the chapter already
quoted above titled “The Tree of the Sephiroth” Hall
disclosed that “In the Qabbalah it is declared that the Yod is
in reality three Yods, of which the first is the beginning, the
second is the center, and the third is the end.” In other
words, the Yod in the IHVH Tetragrammaton actually
represents three Yods. Using a simple Hebrew letter chart
and adding the numerical value of Elohim/‫ אלהים‬we deduce
the following; where ‫ = א‬1, ‫ = ל‬30, ‫ = ה‬5, ‫ = י‬10, ‫ = ם‬600,
the sum is 646. By adding in two additional Yods, 10 + 10 +
646, 666 = the mystical number of the name.
The Zohar alludes to Genesis 1:1 as containing the secret of
secrets and the supernal mystery of the divine name which
spans the universe through engravings of the number “six.”
According to Kabbalah everything in creation, from
beginning to end, is sealed with the V, the Vau, which is the
six. Therefore it should come as no surprise to find Satan
exalting himself as God in the very first verse of Genesis,
from the beginning! It will be further shown that the sage
mystics, in step with their god Lucifer, have gone to great
lengths to manipulate the Word of God by imposing the
numbers 6 and 666 into the Scriptures through the sorcery
of Kabbalah.
These same rabbinic sages, some of which are listed in The
Return of the Kosher Pig, see the science of Kabbalah and
the magical power of Hebrew letters to effect spiritual
transformation and alter world events as the necessary
harbinger and forerunner of the sixth millennium that will
precede the coming of their Moshiach. As disciples of Jesus
Christ, we must be able to differentiate between the true
Biblical interpretation of Scripture and the gnostic
exploitation of God’s Word as mystically translated by the
kabbalists.
In Revelation chapter one Jesus said, “I am Alpha and
Omega, the beginning and the ending…the first and the
last.” He did not say ‘I am the Aleph and the Tav’ nor is
there any sacred name to be found hidden in the codes of
the Hebrew alphabet. It is my hope that every Christian
reading this information will hold fast to the Word of life and
to the name which is above every name, Jesus Christ, the
real Yeshua, and to say like Paul: For I know whom I have
believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep
that which I have committed unto him against that
day. 2 Timothy 1:12
Chapter 9
Secrets of the Millennium: The Two
Messiahs of the Final Redemption
I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the
ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and
which is to come, the Almighty.
Revelation 1:8
“And at the end of the Formless and the Void and the
Darkness (that is, at the end of the exile this saying
shall have place: Isa. ii. 11). And the Tetragrammaton
alone shall be exalted in that day (that is, in the time
of Messiah).”
(Zohar, The Book of Concealed Mystery) 143
“This [final] redemption will come only as a result of
Torah study, chiefly the study of Kabbalah.” (Rabbi
Eliyahu of Vilna, from his commentary on the Zohar)
144
According to the prophecy in the Zohar, the purpose of
releasing the mysteries of Kabbalah globally is to prepare
the world for the seventh millennium and the coming of
Moshiach. As noted above, this period is called the footsteps
of Messiah – Ikveta DiM’shicha – and is based on the Shiur
Komah, the god-man image of Adam Kadmon in the Sefirot
tree. The rabbis refer to this as the Netzach-Hod paradigm,
as Netzach and Hod are the seventh and eighth sephirah
and represent the legs of the image. The Netzach-Hod
paradigm marks the time just before the final redemption.
The ninth sephira, Yesod, is representative of the male
phallus which channels the life force of Ein Sof to Malkut the
feet, the Shekhinah bride and kingdom of the god-man
image.
“Netsah and Hod are the right and left legs
respectively…Jesod is the generative system, or the
foundation of form; and Malchuth represents the two
feet, or the base of being.” 145
“Yesod is the channel through which Tiferet strives
to unite with Shekhinah and pass on the creative and
benevolent divine forces…This Sefirah is symbolized
as the male phallus, sanctified through the covenant
of circumcision.” 146
According to the Zohar, the mystery of six thousand years is
based on an esoteric interpretation of the first words of
Genesis chapter one and the six days of creation. In
Kabbalah, the six days of creation correspond to the six
sefirah that form the six-pointed star of Microprosopus or
Metatron’s cube; the Shiur Komah god-man image. Each of
the six sefirah represents 1,000 years and combined they
form the six directions of the universe. The seventh
millennium is the age to come, the final Shabbat, the
antichrist kingdom of god on earth. The seventh millennium
also represents Malkut, the tenth sefirah who is also
Shekhinah. As noted previously, it was Shekhinah who fell
into the abyss at the shattering of the Sefirot tree, yet is
destined to rise from the pit.
“Six thousand years depend from the six first. This is
what the wise have said, that the world shall last six
thousand years, and it is understood from the six
numbers of Microprosopus…Hence are the "six
thousand years" deduced from the six first words,
which also are said to refer to the six Sephiroth of
whom Microprosopus is formed;” 147
“…thousands signify the future…the idea of six being
extended into as many thousands, to symbolise that
number on the plane of a future age… so also the
Schechinah, or Kingdom, is itself exiled…By the same
rule, the millennium is deduced from the seventh
word. The seventh space here means Malkuth, the
kingdom, or the queen, which together with the six
of Microprosopus, makes up the seven lower
Sephiroth.” 148
The word Bereshith is the Hebrew word for beginning in
Genesis 1:1, “In the beginning God created the heaven and
the earth.” Bereshith is said by the sages to contain the
greatest mystery of creation from beginning to end and, as
noted above, is translated by the kabbalists as “he created
six.” The following excerpt from the Zohar describes the
initiation of Rabbi Hiya into the secret of the six encoded in
the word Bereshith. Note that Metatron, the angel of the
presence, and the directions of the six-sided cube are
mentioned: “Bereshith, "In the beginning," said Rabbi
Ionda, "what is the signification of this mystical
word? It is hochma—wisdom…Like a globe it includes
the six directions of space, viz., north, south, east
and west, high and low, from which emanate six
streams of existence, all of which flow at last into the
great ocean of primal life. Another occult
signification of Bereshith is this, Bara sith (he
created six)…Rabbi Hiya and Rabbi Jose were walking
together in the country and when they reached their
destination, said Rabbi Hiya: "This occult meaning of
bereshith is undoubtedly correct, since we find in the
Book of Genesis that the creation of all things
occurred and took place in six days and not more. In
an ancient occult work on Genesis we have found
many references to this account… Rabbi Hiya heard a
voice from heaven exclaiming: "Fall back! make room
for the King Messiah coming to the school of Rabbi
Simeon, whose students are all initiates and master
teachers of the secret doctrine." Then came Messiah
and visited all the celestial schools and confirmed the
teachings and expositions of the mysteries given by
their appointed instructors…Turning to Rabbi
Simeon...Messiah spake and said: "Blessed art thou,
Rabbi Simeon, for thy mystic teachings are of the
highest worth and valued and cherished by all. They
only, along with those of Hesekiah, King of Judah,
and Achiya, the Solonite, are marked and sealed with
the approval of the holy one. I have come hither
because I know that the angel of the presence visits
no other school save yours." 149
Another bizarre twist of Scripture by the rabbis relates the
events of the flood in Noah’s day to the rise of technology in
our current sixth millennium. In this strange scenario
Genesis 7:11 is taken completely out of context to represent
future events which correspond to the global release of
kabbalistic knowledge that will precede the coming of
Moshiach. We know that the opening of the windows of
heaven in Noah’s day brought the total destruction of the
world. One can only imagine what ominous plot is lurking
behind the self-fulfilling prophecies of the Zohar.
“What does the future hold? There is a Talmudic
statement that the world will exist for 6000 years
and then enter a new state…The Kabbalah explains
that each millennium is a Divine day, and as we
approach the seventh millennium we are actually
approaching the Divine Sabbath…As the world nears
the era of Mashiach, knowledge in all areas of life is
rapidly expanding. This concept is found in the Zohar,
which comments of the verse, “In the six hundredth
year of Noah’s life…the windows of Heaven were
opened” (Genesis 7:11). According to the Zohar, the
six hundredth year is also the sixth millennium, and
the “windows of Heaven” are opening to allow
knowledge and discovery to flow into our world at an
unprecedented rate. To illustrate: the year 5600 (the
six hundredth year of the sixth millennium)
corresponds to the year 1840 in the Common-era. A
cursory inspection of that period reveals that it was
in the late 1800s that the Industrial Revolution
began.” 150
According to the Zohar the illumination of the nations and
the revelation of Moshiach in Israel will not be an
instantaneous event but will unfold as a gradual process.
Based on the mystical timeline of the rabbis, this process
began in the year 1840. In the current Netzach-Hod
paradigm the left and right pillars of the Sefirot tree also
represent the two messiahs of Kabbalah, the Trein
M’shechin. These two messiahs are Mashiach ben Joseph
and Mashiach ben David. Until recently, the mystery of two
messiahs has remained largely unknown outside of
kabbalistic circles, but is now being revealed in small
increments to accelerate the final redemption.
“The two meshichim are the guards and defenders of
the existence of Israel throughout all the
generations, even during the exile. Their main place
is at the gates of Jerusalem, the opening of the walls.
This is revealed by the words: “our feet were
standing in the gates of Jerusalem.” “Our feet”
refers to the two meshichim in the line of Netzach
and Hod.” 151
Typical of rabbinic Judaism, there are dark sexual overtones
hidden deep within this mystery which revolve around the
sphere of Yesod and its phallic imagery; another reason this
secret has been long concealed from the masses. However,
what is important is the end-time agenda of this millennial
script. In the tradition of Kabbalah there was a split in the
last two sephira, Yesod and Malkut, at the time of the
shattering of the Sefirot tree. This cosmic split brought
about the necessity of two messiahs and two stages of
tikkun – the repair of the world. Messiah ben David is
traditionally viewed as the messianic ruler of the seventh
millennium, but it is Messiah ben Joseph that has been the
guiding force of Israel throughout history. Messiah ben
Joseph is viewed as the predecessor of Messiah ben David.
In his present-day role he is the revealer and disseminator
of Kabbalah during the Ikveta DiM’shicha or footsteps of
Messiah, as noted by Rabbi Hillel Rivlin: “According to our
master, the Gaon, all activities and all efforts – in all
their particulars, down to the most minute details –
that are directed to the ingathering of the exiles, the
building of Jerusalem, the expansion and
resettlement of the Land of Israel, and the return of
the Shechinah (Divine Presence), are dependent
upon the mission and destiny of the Messiah of the
Beginning, the first Messiah – Mashiach ben Yoseph.
He is the supra-natural force that aids every activity,
which is “aroused from below”…During the period of
Ikveta DiM’shicha the revelations will begin little by
little…[It is specifically through the learning of the
Kabbalah] that the mysteries of the Torah will be
revealed. This is part of the sacred mission of the
Messiah of the Beginning, Mashiach ben Yoseph.” 152
Digging deeper into the secret doctrine of the sages, one is
not surprised to discover the fallen angel Metatron at the
root of this mystery. Within the rabbinic writings we find that
Metatron is the “oversoul” of Messiah ben Joseph. 153 He is
the “supranatural force” that will unify and bring balance to
the left and right pillars of the Sefirot tree, the twin
messiahs. Moreover, Metatron is Messiah ben Joseph who
will defeat the enemies of Israel and raise Shekhinah from
the abyss. Recalling Metatron’s association with the number
6 and Yesod as the “channel” for knowledge, I quote the
following based on the Kabbalah school of Rabbi Eliyahu
from the book, Kol Hator: “Mashiach ben Yoseph is the
meta-archangel known throughout the Talmud
(including the standard commentaries of Rashi and
Tosafot), Midrash, and Zohar, as Metatron.” 154

“Yosef is still alive…the Mashiach ben Yosef from


above is Metatron, the Minister of Interior; as is
known, Yosef is Metatron. Both of them are from the
light from above, and both are in the sefira Yesod…
there will be a unification of the Holy one blessed be
He and the Shechina through the unification of the
two meshichim…The purpose of gathering in the
exiles is to wage God’s war against Amalek, which
was the main mission of Joshua, in line with Mashiach
ben Yosef…It is also intended to remove the spirit of
impurity from the Land, and to bring Knesset Israel
and Shechina from below, from the earth…A person
must elevate himself spiritually and by performing
good deeds, with the assistance of the might and
secret of “Metatron, Minister of Interior” to the level
of the upper lights, the level the sounds of the shofar
reach. [999 in gematria] is the angel of Mashiach ben
Yosef. His name equals 999 in the sefira
Yesod…“Metatron Minister of Interior” the one who
brings the sound of the Shofar to Heaven…The
abundance of lights which is the ! [999] sperm of the
sefira Yesod… The unity of the Holy One blessed be
He with the Shechina…Engaging in the war against
Esau and Ismael…“then the land will be appeased.”
155
In this section of Kol Hator we see many disturbing elements
of rabbinic eschatology. As Messiah ben Joseph, it is
Metatron who is the mediator between man and God. As
Minister of Interior it is Metatron who brings prayers before
the throne in the sound of the shofar. I have already
referenced this as one of Itzhak Shapira’s teachings from his
book, The Return of the Kosher Pig, but I mention it here
again to show that these esoteric traditions remain the
bedrock of Talmudic and kabbalistic millennialism. Shapira
can be seen teaching this heretical doctrine in a video
presentation titled “Are you Born Again??” where he states
that it is through Yeshua/Metatron that our prayers are
heard. 156
Next we see that Messiah ben Joseph’s gematria is 999. In
Kol Hator this is called “Formula 999” and represents the
unity of the “Holy One” with “Shechina” through three
combinations of letters. The number 999 also relates to the
beginning of creation as well as the exact year when
Moshiach will arrive on the earth. Through the manipulation
of numbers using gematria, the kabbalists have determined
the new world order to begin in 2019: this is based on the
computation that 2 x 999 and 3 x 666 both equal 1998, then
by further adding and subtracting the value of other Hebrew
letters to 1998 they arrive at the year 2019, the sum and
predicted date of Moshiach’s arrival. 157
Both contemporary and ancient rabbinic writings such as Kol
Hator repeatedly cast Messiah ben Joseph as engaging in a
war against Esau and Ismael (Ishmael) in order to appease
or cleanse the land. Now it is no secret who Ishmael is, but
who is Esau? The sages tell us plainly. Esau is Edom and
Edom is Rome, specifically Christianity.
“Edom is Esau…Esau/Edom's descendants since
Biblical times have been identified with Europe,
specifically the empire of Rome. According to the
Torah understanding, ancient Rome never actually
fell thus leaving the public scene. It was only
replaced by the Church…As we know the head of the
Church always has been in the city of Rome.
Therefore Edom is Rome, Rome is Christianity and
thus Edom is all those domains to which the
Christianity of Rome has spread.” 158
Together, Esau and Ishmael are the external forces, the
“shells of impurity” that must be deceived – along with the
mixed multitude – during the redemption process, as quoted
previously: “The redemption process must proceed in
a circuitous manner in order to deceive the “shells of
impurity” [the external forces] and prevent them
from interfering.” 159
“The purpose of our work in ingathering the exiles is
to set up people of Truth who will promote the
unification of both meshichim in the gates of
Jerusalem so that the Shechina will return…In all
generations, the major tasks of the two meshichim
together, Mashiach ben Yosef and Mashiach ben
David, are self-defense and to wage war against the
three heads of the outer shells or layers: Esau,
Ismael and the mixed multitude. The special task of
Mashiach ben Yosef is to counter Esau, the outer
shell on the left. The special task of Mashiach ben
David against Ismael is to counter Ismael, the outer
shell on the right. The two meshichim together are
duty-bound to operate against Esau and Ismael, who
are likened to an ox and a donkey of impurity…we
must destroy the might of the mixed multitude, the
layer of the wicked Armilus, and drive them out of
Israel…The mixed multitude is our greatest enemy,
for it separates the two meshichim…The two
meshichim…are “a scepter and a lawgiver.”…They
are the holy ox and holy donkey who wage war
against the impure ox and impure donkey, i.e., Ismael
and Esau…They are the “‘feet of God’” that are in
Netzach and Hod. They stand firmly in the gates of
Jerusalem…The Redemption of Truth can occur only
after destroying the klipah shell/ layer of Esau that
appears in the form of Armilus, the epitome of the
truth-hater.” 160
Buried deep in the writings of the Mishnah sages, there is
yet another mystery concerning Edom or Esau. This is the
secret of “The Head of Esau” or “The Beheading of Esau”
and refers to the Jewish fable that Esau’s death was by
decapitation. 161 This tradition is based on a rabbinic
commentary of Genesis 50:13 which states, “In the Cave of
Machpelah in Hebron (the burial place of the Patriarchs). . .
Esau’s head lies in the bosom of Isaac. (Targum Yonatan,
Genesis 50:13) 162 The Targum Yonatan gives no
explanation for the addition of this story in relation to the
actual events recorded in Genesis 50. However, in the
coded language of the rabbis we see that it is closely
connected to the ongoing war against Esau/Edom in the
final redemption process.
“If one wishes to understand the future then one
must understand the past; for the future is just its
reflection…The great pre-Messianic Tikkun does not
occur exclusively in the invisible spiritual
dimensions. It has its parallel fulfillments here in our
physical world…
Our Sages relate a legend about the death of Esau,
who is Edom. The legend states that when Jacob was
taken to be buried in Makhpelah that Esau and his
clan came to block his interment. This led to a war
between the sons of Esau and the sons of Jacob. In
this war, Esau himself was killed and decapitated…In
the end times, the great battle between Jacob and
Esau is to come to its final fruition. Biblical
prophecies speak of the resounding defeat of Edom
and everything related to it…This does not mean that
everyone literally dies, but rather, that everyone
finally is able to see and receive the Light of Truth
and thus a new dawn for humanity arises.” 163
In his book, The Messianic Idea in Judaism, Gershom
Scholem relates the course of apocalyptic events as foretold
in the Zohar. Following the legends of the Aggadah in the
Babylonian Talmud, Scholem describes the redemption as a
process of “gradual illumination of the world by the light of
Messiah” that culminates in a mystic utopia: “At the time
when the Holy One, blessed be He, shall set Israel
upright and bring them up out of Galut He will open
to them a small and scant window of light, and then
He will open another that is larger, until He will open
to the them the portals on high to the four directions
of the universe…so shall it be and not at a single
instant…” 164
According to the Zohar, this same light will be a destructive
force to the nations as Israel is propelled to world
domination. Scholem continues: “The Gentiles (who are
designated Esau or Edom), however, will suffer the
opposite fate. They received their light in this world
at a single stroke, but it will depart from them
gradually until Israel shall grow strong and destroy
them. And when the spirit of uncleanliness shall pass
from the world and the divine light shall shine upon
Israel without let or hinderance, all things will return
to their proper order – to the state of perfection…The
worlds will all be joined one to another and nothing
will separate Creator from creature. All will rise
upward by ascents of the spirit, and creatures will be
purified until they behold the Shekhinah ‘eye to
eye’.” 165
The expectation of a golden age of peace and prosperity on
earth can be found in nearly every religious system,
including some denominations of Christian eschatology. This
idealistic dream of an earthly utopian millennium, widely
promoted by New Age leaders, has long been the focus of
investigation by the church to unlock the identity of Mystery
Babylon in Revelation 17 and 18. However, its roots can be
traced back to ancient Babylon from where it was adopted
by the blind leaders of Israel during their captivity and later
codified in the writings of the Babylonian Talmud and
Kabbalah.
Nearly ten years ago when the Holy Spirit began to reveal to
me out of the Scriptures the mysteries of the great city
Jerusalem, I made efforts to share this information with
pastors. In every instance I received the same answer: they
could not or would not acknowledge the Biblical evidence
pointing to Jerusalem as Mystery Babylon, the mother of
harlots. This overwhelming response is based in tightly held
traditions of men and is often rooted in fear.
Another frequently repeated answer I heard from church
leaders was that the city in Revelation 17:18 and chapter 18
is described as reigning over the kings of the earth and
governing the wealth of commerce between the nations.
Therefore the harlot of Revelation could not possibly be
“tiny” Jerusalem. Only New York or some other metropolis
could fit the description. Just ten years ago Israel was not
considered a global power in the eyes of many. Today this is
no longer the case. According to the rabbinic timeline, the
New Age is upon us. Jerusalem is rising and the entire world
is witnessing Israel’s technological quantum leap to become
the head of the kingdoms of this world.
Chapter 10
The Utopian Kingdom of Kabbalah

Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if


my kingdom were of this world, then would my
servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the
Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence. John
18:36
Then the devil, taking Him up on a high mountain,
showed Him all the kingdoms of the world in a
moment of time. And the devil said to Him, All this
authority I will give You, and their glory; for this has
been delivered to me, and I give it to whomever I
wish. Therefore, if You will worship before me, all will
be Yours. And Jesus answered and said to him, Get
behind Me, Satan! For it is written, You shall worship
the LORD your God, and Him only you shall serve.
Luke 4:5-8
The opening of the war against Gog and Magog will
start with the first redemption before the coming of
the righteous mashiach - Mashiach ben David…
Anyone who does not participate in the war…is
actually becoming a partner of the “layer” of the
mixed multitude. Whoever he is, he would have been
better off had he not been born.” 166
“Jerusalem will become the ideal capital of the new
Universal State…Hence, with the advent of the
Messiah, who will usher in the ideal era, all the
national ensigns and laws, which are barriers to
genuine international peace, brotherhood, and the
happiness of mankind, will gradually disappear. Only
the Messianic flag, the symbol of knowledge, peace,
tranquility of the individual mind, will remain, and all
the nations will center round that emblem…All will
recognize one flag or standard, bearing the name of
God…The world will, therefore, unite in praising the
Lord for Israel’s universalism.” Rabbi Michael Higger,
The Jewish Utopia 167
One of the most revealing contemporary sources concerning
the millennial reign of the Moshiach in the world to come is
Rabbi Michael Higger’s controversial book, The Jewish
Utopia, published in 1932. Higger was a Talmudic scholar
and his book is based on rabbinic interpretations of biblical
prophecy as set forth in the Babylonian Talmud, the
Palestinian Talmud, the Midrash and other apocryphal
writings. Many Christians have been alarmed by Higger’s
Jewish supremacist vision of a future utopian kingdom in
which only the righteous will be allowed to exist in the ideal
era on earth; the word righteous refers only to those who
support a politicized global domination of all other nations
by Israel. On page 41 Higger wrote: “Only those who are
convinced of Israel’s divine purpose in the world, will
be welcome to join Israel in the upbuilding of an
ideally spiritual life on earth. Israel, the ideal,
righteous people, will thus become spiritually the
masters of the world.”
The Jewish Utopia is full of such conceptions of a future
kingdom which Higger repeatedly describes in terms like the
new order, the new age, an ideal society, the new social
order, the ideal World, the Universal State, the super-
structure, paradise on earth, a new economic order,
universal Israel, the Messianic age, the Kingdom of God and
the Rabbinic Utopia, the supposed seventh millennium. 168
Higger’s utopian vision is a call for reconstruction which he
says can only come from “the Talmud and cognate rabbinic
literature.” In his opening statements, Higger laments that
the kingdom promised by the prophets has not yet been
fulfilled on the earth, stating that, “Dogmatic Christianity
has come, dogmatic Christianity will be gone.” 169 In
agreement with the predictions of the Zohar, Higger noted
that the redemption will be a process of “important reforms
and changes” in which “wicked people” and “unrighteous
nations” – “traditional Edom and Rome” – will “disappear
from the earth,” eventually ushering in the millennium and
the establishment of the Kingdom of God. 170
Similarly, as presented in the writings of Kabbalah,
according to Higger it is Leviathan that will symbolize a new
world order of socialism in which “the righteous will prosper
and the wicked suffer.” As a rabbinic voice of the Talmudic
sages, Higger decreed that righteousness alone will be the
currency of the coming kingdom.
“The Leviathan is thus a universal symbol of the
new era in which the righteous will prosper and the
wicked suffer. The Leviathan, furthermore, is the
emblem of the ideal age, when this world will
become the home of the righteous. It is an ideal
symbol of a new economic order in the world, when
righteousness will be one’s only requisite for
acceptance unto the realm of happiness and
prosperity.” 171
What is most notable about Higger’s Jewish Utopia is that he
understood what many Christians today do not: the
diametric opposition of a future earthly kingdom of God in
Israel as hoped for by the rabbis to that of the Kingdom of
Jesus Christ who said to Pilate before His crucifixion, “My
kingdom is not of this world.” In the final chapter of his
book, Higger discusses the “Jewish conception of the
Kingdom of God” versus the “dogmatic doctrine of the
Kingdom in the New Testament.” 172
To show the conflict between these two kingdoms, Higger in
fact quoted the very words of Jesus to Pilate in John 18:36,
“My kingdom is not of this world,” as well as those of Paul
the Apostle who said in 1 Corinthians 15:50, “Now this I say,
brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of
God; neither doth corruption inherit corruption.”
Blinded by his rejection of Jesus Christ as the Messiah,
Higger wrote that there is no “continuation of the prophetic
hope” in the Kingdom Jesus offered, but that “rabbinic
Judaism is directly following the footsteps of the prophets,
with regard to their ideology of the Kingdom of God on
earth.” 173 Higger was right about one thing: the
Babylonian Talmudic worldly kingdom of Kabbalah is at
enmity with the true Kingdom of God, of which Jesus Christ
was the complete fulfillment. In his misappropriation of
Biblical prophecy Higger, like the rabbis before him, has
fulfilled the Apostle Paul’s words in Acts 13: For they that
dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they
knew Him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets
which are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled
them in condemning Him…And we declare unto you
glad tidings, how that the promise which was made
to the fathers, God hath fulfilled the same. Acts
13:27, 32-33
Little by little, one footstep at a time, we are witnessing the
gradual transformation of the Gospel with the central focus
and position of Jesus Christ in Scripture slowly being
replaced by another gospel, another spirit, another Jesus,
and another kingdom. Like Rabbi Higger, Rabbi Itzhak
Shapira places earthly Jerusalem, along with the sacrificial
system of the old covenant, front and center in his kingdom
eschatology.
In a video presentation titled “The Fullness of the Gentiles”
Shapira states that “King Messiah will be ruling in
Jerusalem” and that “they [the nations] will receive
correction” as they are “restored fully into the Hebraic
faith.” He states this will be “a Jewish worship experience”
that includes animal sacrifices in the temple with a remnant
of Gentiles from the nations – “those who are left” – coming
to Jerusalem to bow down to the “lord king” and “celebrate”
the sacrifices. Shapira says this is the “one new man”
(Ephesians 2:15) when God will judge the nations and they
receive a “new revelation” as “the Jewish people will teach
the world how to worship the Messiah.” 174
Jesus said to her, Woman, believe Me, the hour is
coming when you will neither on this mountain, nor
in Jerusalem worship the Father. You worship what
you do not know; we know what we worship, for
salvation is of the Jews. But the hour is coming, and
now is, when the true worshipers will worship the
Father in spirit and in truth; for the Father is seeking
such to worship Him. God is a Spirit, and those who
worship Him must worship in spirit and in truth. John
4:21-24
It may come as a shock to many Christians to discover in
Revelation 11:8 that Jesus refers to earthly Jerusalem as
“the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt,
where also our Lord was crucified.” In Galatians 4:25-26 the
Apostle Paul makes clear that Jerusalem “which now is” is in
bondage, but that Jerusalem which is above is free, the
“mother of us all.” This truth is further explained by Paul in
Hebrews 11-13 where he writes of the heavenly city which
Abraham sought and that here we have no continuing city,
but we seek one to come; the city of the living God, the
heavenly Jerusalem, whose builder and maker is God. Yet
how many today have set their eyes and their hearts on
earthly Jerusalem as the eternal capital city and future
kingdom of God?
The rabbis of Kabbalah teach that the seventh millennium
will be the great Shabbat, a time of peace when all nations
will worship the divine presence in Jerusalem; but at what
cost? In The Jewish Utopia Jerusalem is called the dwelling
place of glory, “the holy city” where the temple will be
established “in the midst thereof.” In the ideal era to come
Higger stated, “Israel, having attained perfection, must
ultimately have a far reaching influence on the course of the
destiny of nations. In the rabbinic terminology, the spiritual
fire of Israel will devour the wicked nations.” 175 In a
chilling statement that sounds like something out of the
Book of Revelation, Higger wrote the following: “To
understand the rabbinic conception of an ideal world
it will help us if we imagine a hand passing from land
to land, from country to country, from the Persian
Gulf to the Atlantic Ocean, and from the Indian Ocean
to the North Pole, marking “righteous” or “wicked”
on the forehead of each one of the sixteen million
inhabitants of our earthly globe. We should then be
on the right road toward solving the major problems
that burden so heavily the shoulders of suffering
humanity. For mankind should be divided into two,
and only two, distinct and unmistakable groups,
namely, righteous and wicked…Consequently, in the
ideal era, there will be no people who will believe in
the division of the Godhead into two or more parts,
or persons. Only those peoples who believe in one
God will survive in the ideal world.” 176
Higger’s rabbinic conception of an ideal society, as outlined
in the Babylonian Talmud and Kabbalah, is a call for the
complete destruction of those individuals and nations who
will not assist in the “upbuilding” of a utopian kingdom in
Israel; namely Esau and Edom, Christianity and Islam. Rabbi
Shapira appears to agree. Relying on rabbinic commentary,
he stated in a message that in the future Hashem will take
revenge on Edom and the nations, not on Israel, and his
clothes will be red from the blood of the nations being
poured out. 177 According to Shapira, Esau represents “the
spirit of Christianity today,” while “Islam is the spirit of
Edom.” Shapira then tells his audience they better make
sure they are “grafted into Israel,” adding that “if you reject
the revelation of Israel, you in essence join yourself to
Edom.” 178
In a 2017 interview with Rabbi Jonathan Bernis and Benny
Hinn, Rabbi Shapira gave a similar message, stating that at
the great and terrible day of the Lord, the Lord will come out
of Edom and crush Edom, which is Christianity. Not only
does Shapira tell his audience that Christianity is Edom, but
that Yeshua is also Esau. He deduces this through a
configuration of gematria by “flipping” the letters of Esau
around to form the name Yeshua. According to Shapira,
Yeshua has been a prisoner in a foreign land, in Edom with
the Christians, but will soon come out of Edom, crush
Christianity, and return to Zion. Therefore, he says we need
to make sure we get the “real” Yeshua and hasten his return
by relearning the story of the gospel. It is noteworthy that
Jonathan Bernis adds that Israel is becoming the head, not
the tail, through technology, cyberwarfare and through
military export, implying that this is the means through
which Yeshua will fight against the Gentile nations. 179
For I determined not to know any thing among you,
save Jesus Christ, and Him crucified…And my speech
and my preaching was not with enticing words of
man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and
of power.
1 Corinthians 2:2, 4
It is not surprising that some Christian leaders have
described Itzhak Shapira as a modern-day Apostle Paul,
having been impressed by his “encyclopedic knowledge of
rabbinic sources.” The Return of the Kosher Pig is endorsed
by an equally impressive list of rabbis and Christian
ministers like Dr. Michael Brown who praises the book, while
ignoring its obvious propagation of Babylonian Jewish
mysticism and Kabbalah. 180 However, there are many in
the Jewish community who are at odds with Shapira’s
application of the kosher pig to Yeshua as the Messiah.

One Orthodox Jewish writer – Menashe Dovid – states in an


online review of Shapira’s book, “Nowhere is there a
connection between any Messiah and a pig in any writings
of the Lubavicher Rebbe and the writings of the Sages.”
Dovid goes on to explain that the Midrash contains multiple
interpretations in reference to the pig becoming kosher in
the messianic era; some literal, some allegorical. He then
notes, “However, the major personality who was associated
with the pig was Esau in particular, and, eventually, the
Romans (his descendants) in general.” Citing the Midrash,
he writes, “Some of the Rishonim [early Hebrew scholars]
explained that the return of the pig does not refer to eating
pork, but rather to the restoration of the Jewish government
in place of the Christian one.” 181
An alternative explanation of the pig becoming kosher as
expounded by 13th Century Rabbi Bachaya has Edom –
Rome – “returning” to build a Third Temple as an act of
recompense for their destruction of the Second Temple. Yet
another opinion of the rabbis reads, “Why is this nation
[Edom – Rome] compared to a pig? Because G-d will, in the
future, turn (lit. return) upon them the attribute of
judgment.” 182
Menashe Dovid then asks the rhetorical question, “What has
the above got to do with the kosher pig being Jesus/Yeshua
and Jews having to accept Jesus as a divine messiah?” He
explains, “The answer is that there is no connection
between a messiah let alone a divine messiah and the
return of the pig or that the pig is the messiah.” 183 It is
obvious that neither Dovid nor the Talmudic rabbis over the
course of history ever associated the idea of the pig
becoming kosher to a future divine messianic figure. The
opposite is true. If there is any common theme in the
rabbinic literature concerning the mysterious identity and
future of the kosher pig, it is that the Christian faith will
undergo a transformational shift through the rejection of
Jesus Christ as the Messiah!
One of Judaism’s most admired rabbis and scholars was
Moses Maimonides, also known as the Rambam and author
of the Mishneh Torah. In a lecture presented by Jews for
Judaism, Rabbi Michael Skobac stated, “Maimonides wrote in
the 12th Century that Christianity and Islam are actually
preparing the world for the ultimate truth and this will lead
to either the universal embrace of the Noahide path or
potentially conversion to Judaism.” 184 A staunch opponent
of the writings of the Apostle Paul, Skobac believes that the
only “acceptable spiritual path” for non-Jews envisioned by
Judaism is the “default” universal spiritual path of the
Noahide Code; another Babylonian tradition of the rabbis
which is nowhere found in the Bible! 185
As much as some Christians would like to believe in the
return of a kosher pig named Yeshua, it is certain that this
will not be Jesus Christ, the Son of God of the New
Covenant. It is also clear in the Talmud and Kabbalah that
the rabbis did not have Jesus in mind as the Messiah in their
codified writings, though they may have conferred such a
title on Metatron.
What is paramount in these ancient oracles of the kosher
pig is a collective vision of the destruction of Christianity
that has long been held in secrecy. It is hard to overlook the
recurrent theme of war that the sages say must precede the
peaceful Shabbat of the 7th millennium. Either way one
views the return of a kosher pig, the picture is a dim one at
best. What much of apocalyptic rabbinic literature does
signify is a plan concerning the influence on the course of
the destiny of nations that includes a global paradigm shift
as a result of the transformation of the Christian faith
through the rejection of Jesus Christ as the Messiah.
“In fact if the midrashim are anything to go by, Esav
is the pig which represents in a historical time line:
pagan Rome, Christian Rome and present day
worldwide Christianity at large which includes
messianic Judaism, which in the end undergo a
transformation which renders them Kosher by their
rejection of Yeshua.” 186
Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he
find faith on the earth?
Luke 18:8
Chapter 11
The Testimony of Jesus: The Seal of Truth
I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have
the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the
testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
Revelation 19:10
But when the Helper comes, whom I shall send to you
from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds
from the Father, He will testify of Me. John 15:26
Some Christians know that Satan is forming a world
government (New World Order) which he plans to
rule from modern Israel through the coming false
Jewish Messiah…What most Christians don’t know is
that the apostate Church will not only be a partner in
this New World Order, but is even now working
toward its creation. ‘Evangelical churches will be the
chief instrument to bring the New World Order to
birth.’ ” 187
The four Gospels of the New Testament record the complete
fulfillment of the ministry and testimony of Jesus Christ in
His death, burial and resurrection. 2 Corinthians 15:1-4 tells
us exactly what the Gospel is according to the scriptures.
“Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I
preached to you, which also you received and in which you
stand, by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that
word which I preached to you—unless you believed in
vain….that Christ died for our sins according to the
Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again
the third day according to the Scriptures.”
As Jesus was hanging on the cross, the accusation for His
death was placed over His head: THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF
THE JEWS. Those standing by, including the chief priests and
scribes, scorned Him with their words. If He would come
down from the cross and save Himself, then they would
believe in Him. How could this man be the Son of God, who
dared to say “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will
raise it up.” This was not the political Messiah of Israel they
were looking for. Where was the kingdom? Had not Moses
and the prophets foretold it? Had not God promised earthly
dominion to Israel and appointed Zion as a light to the
Gentiles? (Isaiah 49:6) The Spirit of prophecy testifies that
Jesus Christ is the Son of God and the fulfillment of all the
promises of God. In Luke 1:41 upon hearing Mary’s greeting,
Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied,
saying, “Blessed is she that believed, for there will be a
performance of those things which were told her from the
Lord.” This word performance means the act or completion
of prophecy, verification of, absolution, and perfection; a
perfect and complete work that continues to this day. Mary’s
response to Elisabeth was, “He hath holpen (helped) His
servant Israel, in remembrance of His mercy; As He spoke to
our fathers, to Abraham, and to His seed for ever.”
Continuing in Luke, we read the prophecy of Zacharias,
priest of the Temple service and father of John the Baptist.
“Blessed is the Lord God of Israel, for He has visited and
redeemed His people, and raised up a horn of salvation for
us in the house of His servant David; As He spoke by the
mouth of His holy prophets, who have been since the world
began: To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to
remember His holy covenant; The oath which He swore to
our father Abraham.” (Verses 68-70, 72-73) There is also the
prophecy of Simeon in the Temple who said, “Lord, now You
are letting Your servant depart in peace, According to Your
word; For my eyes have seen Your salvation, Which You have
prepared before the face of all peoples; A light to bring
revelation to the Gentiles, and the glory of Your people
Israel.” (Luke 2:29-32) And at that moment when Simeon
spoke, the prophetess Anna testified of Christ “to all them
that looked for redemption in Jerusalem.” (Verse 38) All of
these were waiting for and saw the promise of God’s
redemption.
For this cause therefore have I called for you, to see
you, and to speak with you: because that for the
hope of Israel I am bound with this chain. Acts 28:20
When the Apostle Paul was brought before King Agrippa at
Caesarea, he informed the king that he was being judged for
the hope of the promise made of God unto our fathers and
that it was this hope for which he was accused of the Jews.
(Acts 26:6) Recounting his own testimony of meeting Christ
in a vision on the way to Damascus, Paul confessed in
defense of his charges that he had said nothing except
those things which the prophets and Moses said should
come; That Christ would suffer, that He should be the first to
rise from the dead, and that He would proclaim light to the
people – Israel – and to the Gentiles. (Acts 26:22-23 in
fulfillment of Isaiah 49:6 & 60:3) Standing before the high
priest Ananias and the Jewish council, Paul testified, “Men
and brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee:
concerning the hope and resurrection of the dead I am being
judged.” (Acts 23:6) Then at his trial before Felix the
governor, accused of sedition and defiling the Temple, Paul
affirmed his faith in the God of his fathers and those things
written in the law and the prophets; the hope toward God of
the resurrection of the dead. (Acts 24:15, 21; Daniel 12:2)
Christian author Philip Mauro noted that this hope,
repeatedly testified of by Paul, is the true Hope of Israel and
that it was for this hope that the Apostle was accused, tried
and sent to Rome in chains. Mauro’s book, The Hope of
Israel, was published in 1929 as a biblical response to this
very question: What is the true hope of Israel? For Mauro,
the answer to this question concerned the vital truth of the
gospel of Christ and the salvation of men and women, both
Jew and Gentile: “Jewish fables (literally, myths) are no
new thing. Paul has plainly warned the household of
faith not to give heed thereto…it is well known that
the one [fable] that was most fondly cherished, and
that constituted the gravest menace to the truth of
the gospel, was the notion that the leading purpose
of the mission of the coming Messiah would be the
reconstitution of the Jewish nation and its elevation
to the highest pinnacle of earthly dominion and
glory; for that fatuous doctrine was the cornerstone
of orthodox Judaism in Paul’s day; and because of his
sturdy opposition to it he was persecuted, his
enemies plotted to take his life, and he was sent a
prisoner to Rome. No wonder that, during the term of
his imprisonment there, he wrote to Titus his plain-
spoken warning against ‘Jewish fables.’ ” 188
This Jewish fable of an earthly kingdom and a return to the
Old Testament sacrificial system in an earthly temple is still
the cornerstone of today’s Orthodox Judaism, having taken
firm root in Evangelical Christianity decades ago through the
Scofield Study Bible.
The Scofield Bible was first published in 1909 by Oxford
University Press and then disseminated into American
seminaries and churches. It has since swept many
Christians under its spell through Scofield’s heretical notes
and false teachings of two covenants, two kingdoms and
two brides: “The Lamb’s wife…the Church, identified with
the heavenly Jerusalem and to be distinguished from Israel”
and “the wife of Jehovah, yet to be restored, who is
identified with the earth [Israel].” 189 What is not
commonly known is that Scofield’s book was financed by
high-level Zionist bankers and socialists, including Jacob
Schiff. It was then liberally circulated in American
seminaries and Bible colleges throughout America, a fact
that should be critically pondered as to why. 190
Philip Mauro specifically challenged the Scofield Reference
Bible as the “leading authority for this new system of
teaching” which states “When Christ appeared to the Jewish
people, the next thing in the order of revelation as it then
stood should have been the setting up of the Davidic
Kingdom.” 191 Yet as Mauro points out, this radical
statement subverts the Word of God in that it “removes the
sacrifice of the Lamb of God from its central place in God’s
eternal plan” from the foundation of the world! (Revelation
13:8) It should not be difficult to see the mark of Satan in
these doctrines. And while the Scofield Bible may be a dated
book used by ministers long gone, its fruit continues to be a
main staple of evangelical eschatology, reproducing a false
Israel-centric gospel that attempts to supersede the
centrality of Jesus Christ in the Scriptures. For anyone who
insists on clinging to the fable of a future glorious kingdom
in today’s earthly Jerusalem, it should be noted that
Scofield’s reference note to Zechariah 9:9 states that Jesus
was “so little deceived” by His apparent reception as King,
that this caused Him to weep over Jerusalem, which in turn
led Him to announce the destruction of the city for Israel’s
rejection of their Messiah, as if this was an afterthought
brought on by deception!
At the end of his ministry in Rome, Paul called the leaders of
the Jews together where he explained to them the Kingdom
of God as concerning Jesus Christ, both out of the law of
Moses, and out of the prophets. (Acts 28:17-23) While some
believed, others did not and there was a division among
them. Had Paul spoken of an earthly kingdom through which
Israel would rule the nations, they would have gladly
received his testimony. But the Kingdom which Paul spoke of
is a spiritual kingdom, one which flesh and blood cannot
inherit and into which none can enter or ever see apart from
being born again, from above, by the Spirit; for that which is
born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit
is spirit. (1 Corinthians 15:50, John 3:3-6) This is the true
mystery of godliness, that every person born of the Spirit
has been delivered from the power of darkness – out of the
jurisdiction of the god of this world – and translated into the
Kingdom of His dear Son, Jesus Christ! (Colossians 1:13, 1
Timothy 3:16) He that cometh from above is above all:
he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the
earth: he that cometh from heaven is above all…He
that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal
that God is true. John 3:31, 33
The maxim of the kabbalistic kingdom of god on earth is As
Above, So Below and denotes that man is divine through the
spark of the creator within. This subtle lie of the serpent,
first appearing in Genesis chapter three, has never changed.
In Kabbalah it is expressed in the ascending spheres of the
Sefirot tree and the interconnection of man below with Ein
Sof above. The kingdom above and the kingdom below are
one. All that is needed to merge these two kingdoms
outwardly is for an enlightened humanity to repair the world
through tikkun olam. This is the correction that Kabbalah will
bring.
“The wisdom of Kabbalah, as defined by the greatest
Kabbalists, is a method to correct man and the
world… If Kabbalah will spread amongst people, then
we will avoid all the catastrophes, we will merit both
this world and the world to come, and both of these
worlds will unite into one…Only the dissemination of
Kabbalah will save the world.” 192
This doctrine of an interconnected universe (olam), rooted in
the philosophical systems of ancient Egypt and Babylon, is
the explicit teaching of the rabbis referenced in The Return
of the Kosher Pig. Shapira himself has stated “That the
reason the Messiah has not come yet is because the
kingdom below has not been established, and only when the
kingdom below is being established, then the kingdom
above can be merging into the kingdom below…There has
to be some sort of connection of the two kingdoms from
above and below.” 193 In other words, our works (mitzvot)
determine the time of Messiah’s arrival.
The rabbis agree. The overspreading of Kabbalah on a
global scale will hasten the coming of Moshiach. In his
“Appendix List of Rabbis,” Shapira includes Rabbi Yehuda
Leiv Halevi Ashlag and Rabbi Michael Lietman (aka
Laitman). Rabbi Ashlag, known as the Baal HaSulam (1884-
1954), is most revered in Judaism for his commentary on the
Zohar and dedicated his life to the dissemination of
Kabbalah throughout Israel and the nations. 194 In a work
titled The Horn of Messiah, Ashlag wrote: “And the
dissemination of the wisdom in the masses is called a
Shofar. Like the Shofar, whose voice travels a great
distance, the echo of the wisdom will spread all over
the world…the nations will hear and acknowledge
that there is Godly wisdom in Israel.” 195
Ashlag also said that this revelation of Kabbalah to the
masses is the proclamation of Elijah the prophet, forerunner
of the Moshiach.
“And that role was said about Elijah the prophet, that
the disclosure of the secrets of Torah, is always
referred to by the name: The disclosure of Elijah. As
our sages said…until Elijah comes and the Tishbite
would answer questions and problems. Therefore
they said that three days (which is a famous hint)
before the coming of the Messiah, Elijah shall walk
upon the summit of the mountains and blow a great
horn etc. and you shall understand that the horn is
nothing but the divulgation of the wisdom of the
hidden in the masses, which is a necessary
precondition that must be before the complete
redemption.” 196
The parallels between these words and those of Daniel 7:25
and Revelation 13:5-13 are striking. Surely the prophets of
Kabbalah speak great words against the Most High!
Rabbi Laitman is listed in Shapira’s Appendix of Rabbis as
the founder and director of Bnei Baruch Kabbalah Education
& Research Institute which is “dedicated to teaching and
sharing the wisdom of Kabbalah.” 197 Laitman refers to
Yehuda Ashlag as “the greatest Kabbalist of the 20th
century” and a “special tool that creates a connection
between us, those who are below and those who are
above.” 198 On his web profile page Laitman notes that he
was the personal assistant and student of the late Yehuda
Ashlag’s son, Kabbalist Rav Baruch Shalom Ashlag (the
Rabash), for twelve years. I have previously quoted Michael
Laitman above as forecasting that the world is approaching
the correction and that mankind, through the one language
of Kabbalah, will unite by returning to Babylon. As host of
“the largest website on Kabbalah” Laitman states, “I am
committed to continue in the footsteps of my teachers, Baal
HaSulam and Rabash, to publicly and openly disseminate
Kabbalah to anyone who wishes to know it…This process is
of the utmost importance to the future of Israel and the
world at large.” 199 In his article, The Horn Of The Messiah
Is A Call For Unity, Laitman writes: “[The] system we live
in is being revealed as a network that lacks the right
interconnection…Today, the whole world is beginning
to work for the Creator. The whole world – which
comprises one soul – must ascend up the spiritual
degrees all the way to the World of Infinity…This is
called, ‘the coming of the Messiah,’ and the
dissemination of the wisdom of Kabbalah to the
whole world is called, ‘the horn of the Messiah.’ ” 200
This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance,
that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners,
of whom I am chief. 1 Timothy 1:15
The true hope of Israel and the nations is the blood of the
covenant of the Lamb of God, Jesus Christ, which He fulfilled
in His death, burial and resurrection. It is not the false
ideology of an occult kingdom unified and built on the
foundations of sorcery and vain prognostications of
soothsaying rabbis like those listed in Shapira’s book. Yet
Shapira has told his followers that “the New Covenant is yet
to be fulfilled, and it will be only completely fulfilled when
Yeshua’s glorious return,” adding that “nobody in the
room should be very excited now and say I’m saved,
because covenant is not done with an individual,
covenant is done with the corporate.” 201
Relying heavily on rabbinic testimonies cited in his book,
Shapira has stated, “The key message of the good news is
not the gospel of salvation, but rather the gospel of the
kingdom.” 202 In a “Message to the Church for the last
days” Shapira told his audience, “The message is the
message of a kingdom” as he prayed over those in
attendance who “understand that they are in the business
of the kingdom, they are not in the business of salvation.”
203 After announcing that the New Covenant is yet to be
fulfilled, Shapira encouraged his listeners to imagine what
will happen “if one billion Christians will hold and return to
the covenants…an awakening from the Christian world, a
real awakening to return to the covenants. Yeshua will surely
come. This is your purpose.” 204
Reinforcing the purpose of the nations to bring the Moshiach
to Israel, Shapira once again clarifies the identity of the
kosher pig Yeshua, stating, “…but if you bring Jesus, you
bring the wrong guy. Don’t bring us Jesus…Bring the real
Yeshua, the Jewish Messiah.” 205 Concluding his message to
the Church, Shapira then affirms those who know the time
and hear the sound of the shofar! 206
It is remarkable that the rabbis referenced in Shapira’s book
equate the global initiation of humanity into Kabbalah with
the coming of Elijah as prophesied in Malachi 3:1-3 and 4:5-
6. In doing so, they are desperately trying to fulfill prophetic
events that have already occurred by attempting to produce
a prophetic forerunner to their Moshiach.
Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall
prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye
seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the
messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in:
behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts.
Malachi 3:1
Based on the plainly spoken testimony of Jesus, John the
Baptist was the fulfillment of this prophecy in Malachi. In
Matthew 17:10-13, having just witnessed the transfiguration
of Jesus, His disciples asked Him, “Why then do the scribes
say that Elijah must come first?” Then Jesus answered them,
“Indeed, Elijah is coming first and will restore all things. But
I say to you that Elijah has come already, and they did not
know him but did to him whatever they wished. Likewise the
Son of Man is also about to suffer at their hands.” Then the
disciples understood that He spoke to them of John the
Baptist.
In Luke 1:16-17 the angel of the Lord appeared to John’s
father, Zacharias, declaring John’s ministry to prepare the
way of the Lord as the fulfillment of Malachi 4:5-6, “And
many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their
God. And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of
Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and
the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a
people prepared for the Lord.” This prophetic fulfillment is
further revealed in Matthew 3:3, “For this is he that was
spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one
crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord,
make his paths straight,” and in the words of John who
proclaimed the baptism of fire, fulfilling Malachi’s prophecy
that the Lord Jesus would be “refiner’s fire” and a “purifier of
silver.” (Matthew 3:11-12, Malachi 3:2-3) In Matthew 11:10
Jesus quoted Malachi 3:1 concerning John the Baptist, “For
this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send My
messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way
before thee.” In verses 13 and 14 He said, “For all the
prophets and the law prophesied until John, and if you will
receive it, this is Elias, which was to for come. He that hath
ears to hear, let him hear.” In saying this, Jesus was publicly
confirming Himself as the Messiah of Israel who came
exactly as the prophets had said, with John the Baptist, the
messenger and forerunner, going before Him to prepare the
way! As the forerunner of the Messiah, John the Baptist was
rejected by the elite rulers of the day, thrown into prison
and beheaded. If the leaders of Israel could not accept
Jesus, they surely could not accept John as Elijah. Elijah
came and they knew him not!
The idea that Elijah will come again in the future, before the
second coming of Christ has been deeply embedded into
Christian eschatology, but has it source in rabbinic
literature. We have seen how “Elijah” is woven into the
mystical experiences of rabbis like Isaac Luria, where it is
said the prophet appeared to him as the revealer of Torah
secrets. We also saw that there is a “famous hint” that
alludes to a three-day time period when Elijah will appear
before the Moshiach. According to Jewish tradition, this
mythical Elijah is repeatedly referred to as The Harbinger.
207 As forerunner and disseminator of Kabbalah, he will
herald the redemption in the footsteps of Moshiach and
execute the destruction of Edom: “On the second day
Elijah comes and stands on the mountains of Israel
and says: ‘Goodness has come to the world,’ as it is
said, The Harbinger of goodness.” 208
“When the time for Redemption arrives, it is Elijah
who introduces the Messiah to the people…In the
critical period of forty-five days between the death of
Messiah ben Joseph and the appearance of Messiah
ben David…three days prior to the coming of the
Messiah, Elijah announces the advent of the
Redeemer from the mountains of Israel, slaughters
the celestial prince of Edom (Rome), becomes the
spokesman of Moses, settles all the disputes, and
pleads Israel’s case before God.” 209
The magic of Kabbalah has been described as matter
manipulation; the ability to recast the course of events in
the physical realm through sorcery. Jesus referred to this as
false prophets showing great signs and wonders. There is
nowhere in the Bible that states we have to do anything to
bring Jesus back, much less merge the kingdom above with
the kingdom below. Revelation 18:23 says, “For by thy
sorceries were all nations deceived.” If the prophets of
Kabbalah are ever successful in producing a forerunner to
their Moshiach, he will be more akin to the false prophet of
Revelation 13:13 who makes fire come down from heaven
above, causing those on earth below to worship the beast;
as also prophesied by Rabbi Higger, “In the rabbinic
terminology, the spiritual fire of Israel will devour the wicked
nations.”
In an attempt to fulfill prophecy that has already been
fulfilled, the rabbis of Kabbalah and Talmud, of necessity
and at the behest of Ein Sof (Lucifer), must always push
prophecy into the distant future; for Satan has said, “I will
be like the Most High God!” In so doing, they shut up the
kingdom of heaven against men: they neither go in
themselves, nor do they allow them who are entering to go
in! (Matthew 23:13) They proclaim a false redemption that
will never come, because it has already come!
In Luke 16:16 Jesus said, “The law and the prophets were
until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached,
and every man is pressing into it.” The Kingdom of God
continues to advance by the working of the Holy Spirit and
the response of faith by those – Jew and Gentile – who
believe the gospel as preached by John the Baptist and
fulfilled in Jesus Christ, the true Messiah from beginning to
end.
The Seal of Righteousness versus the Mark of
Death Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord
Jesus Christ…In whom we have redemption through
His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the
riches of His grace...In whom also we have obtained
an inheritance…in whom also after that ye believed,
ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise.
Ephesians 1:3, 7, 11, 13
There is a fantastical fable in the Zohar that tells the story
of creation according to the Kabbalah. When the “Divine
Being…willed to create the world” each letter of the Hebrew
alphabet appeared before him in reverse order, requesting
to be the first one used in the creation process. 210 As the
last of the twenty-two letters, Tav presented first: “The
letter Tau advanced in front and pleaded: May it
please Thee, O Lord of the world, to place me first in
the creation of the world, seeing that I am the
concluding letter of EMeTh (Truth) which is engraved
upon Thy seal, and seeing that Thou art called by this
very name of EMeTh, it is most appropriate for the
King to begin with the final letter of EMeTh and to
create with me the world. The Holy One, blessed be
He, said to her: Thou art worthy and deserving, but it
is not proper that I begin with thee the creation of
the world, since thou art destined to serve as a mark
on the foreheads of the faithful ones (vide Ezek. IX,
4) who have kept the Law from Aleph to Tau, and
through the absence of this mark the rest will be
killed; and, further, thou formest the conclusion of
MaWeTh (death). Hence thou art not meet to initiate
the creation of the world… ‫ ת‬Tav is the end of the
seal of the Holy One, blessed be He…‘The seal of the
Holy One, blessed be He, is emeth [truth]…It denotes
the people who fulfilled the Torah from ‫ א‬alef to ‫ת‬
tav.’ ” 211
One by one the letters ascended:
“TZ then went before him, saying: ‘Because I mark
the Zaddikim (the righteous), and thou thyself
nearest me in thy name, Zaddik (righteous), and also
it is written "The righteous Lord loveth
righteousness,”…it will become thee to create the
world by me’…Then said the Holy One: “Zaddi, Zaddi,
thou art truly righteous, but thou must keep thyself
concealed, and thy occult meaning must not be made
known or become revealed; and therefore thou must
not be used in the creation of the world.” 212
This legend of the mystical alphabet reveals the secrets of
the seal and mark of Satan who is a murderer from the
beginning and the father of lies! (John 8:44-45) The Zohar
plainly states that the righteous are those who keep the law
from Aleph to Tav, from beginning to end. The fairy tale
ends with Ein Sof choosing Beth (B) to create the world, yet
Aleph (A) is honored as the seal of unity, added to every
created thing to signify the oneness of Ein Sof with his
creation from the beginning.
“Then came B and said: ‘Create the world by me,
because I am the initial letter of beracha (blessing)
and through me all will bless thee, both in the world
above as in the world below.” “Truly, Oh B,” said the
Holy One, “I will surely create the world by thee
only.”
“Aleph, Aleph! Thou shalt be the first of all letters
and my unity shall be symbolized only by thee. In all
conceptions and ideas human or divine…shalt thou
be the first, the beginning.”
“Therefore did the holy one make the letters of the
celestial alphabet…Therefore also the Book of
Genesis begins with two words…Braeshith, Bara (in
the beginning created) followed by two others,
whose initials are A…Alhim, ath (God, the substance
of) to show that the letters of these alphabets
celestial and earthly are one and the same by which
every creature and thing in the universe has been
formed and produced.” 213
The Zohar further reveals that “the redemption of Israel will
come about through the mystic force of the letter vav,
namely, in the sixth millennium.” 214 Recalling that the
Hebrew letter Vav has the numerical value of 6, we will now
see how the Vav, in the form of ‫ ו ו ו‬or 666, has been
mystically inserted into the Shema Yisrael prayer and is
engraved in the Tefillin, the cube-shaped phylactery worn on
the head while reciting the Shema.
The Shema is a traditional Jewish prayer taken from the
following four texts: Exodus 13:1-10, Exodus 13:11-16,
Deuteronomy 6:4-9 and Deuteronomy 11:13-21. The verses
are recited twice daily, in the morning and the evening, and
are a testament to the glory of God and His enduring
faithfulness to His people. The most well known verse of the
Shema is in the sixth chapter of Deuteronomy. When Jesus
was asked by a Pharisee, which is the greatest
commandment, He quoted Deuteronomy 6:5, “Thou shalt
love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy
soul, and with all thy mind.” The plain meaning of the verse
could not be clearer. However, like the Pharisees, the
kabbalist rabbis imposed their traditions and interpretations
into the Scriptures long ago as a secret link to god, thereby
elevating themselves above the people and nullifying the
Word of God.
In Kabbalah the Vav represents the complete connection of
everything in the universe and is symbolic of the first six
words in the Genesis account of creation. The sixth word in
Genesis is ‫ ואת‬, Vav, Aleph, Tav; “the Vav connects the
heavens and the earth.” 215 On the sixth day of creation
God created man in his own image. (Genesis 1:27) The
opening verse of the Shema in Deuteronomy 6:4 also
contains six words (‫ )ד אח יהוה אלהינו יהוה ישראל עשמ‬and
according to Kabbalah, the prayer has a gematria of 666,
denoting the time of Moshiach’s arrival.
“The significance of this lies in the Zohar’s
explanation of the coming of Moshiach and the end of
the 4th exile at the end of the 70 years…from Israel’s
statehood in 1948…The Shema is about bringing
Mashiach Ben David…In this case the word value 50
is coupled with word for “the time” or “the days”…
[and] has the numerical value of 666. Thus, together,
they give us the equation 50 x 66.6 jubilee years=
3330 years, which, as we’ve said, is the exact period
of time from the first exodus and the reception of the
Torah at Sinai when the tree-of-life was last offered
to us in 2448 to the year 5778 [2018], which the
tzaddikim have long known will be the next cosmic
window for the Tree-of-life reality.” 216
Tefillin are a set of two black cubes containing the Scripture
passages of the Shema. The cubes are bound to the
forehead and arm while reciting the Shema in an outward
display of obedience to Deuteronomy 6:8, “And thou shalt
bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as
frontlets between thine eyes.” (See Matthew 23:5) The ritual
of putting on Tefillin is a mitzvot and binding seal on the
person which connects the worlds above with the world
below, as well as the world to come. 217
The cube is symbolic of the occult image of Zeir Anpin, the
six-sided celestial creature Metatron, and represents the six
directions of the universe; above, below, north, south, east
and west. According to Kabbalah, all physical objects,
including man, have these six sides. As the number 6, the
Vav represents the completion of man, as seen in the god-
man image of the Tetragrammaton shown above where the
Vav connects the upper Hé and the lower Hé in the name
YHVH.
“The elemental cube was constructed of a Vav (‫ )ו‬in
its length, width and height and thus numerically 6 x
6 x 6…when the Zohar refers to this cube shape…it
most often describes it as the 6 directions…referring
to the 6 directions of Zeir Anpin formed by the letter
Vav (‫ )ו‬of the Tetragrammaton (‫ )יהוה‬as it entered and
created our 3-dimension space.” 218
Tefillin is a sign or mark of “connecting to the Infinite”
through mitzvot. 219 The ritual of Tefillin also completes the
unification of Zeir Anpin and Shekhinah, that part of god
waiting to be redeemed from the pit by the assistance of
those who invoke her in unison! The following excerpt from
kabbalahsecrets.com explains: “The last word of the 6
word verse is Echad…if we sum their standard
gematria value (YHVH, YHVH and Echad) we get…the
numerical value of Adonai, the pronounceable aspect
(counterpart) of the YHVH, thus completing the all-
important unification of Zeir Anpin and Malchut
(Heaven and Earth if you will) and/or of G-d and the
Shechina, the male and female aspects of G-d. This is
the spiritual unification, which if injected into our
lives and our daily dealings will help bring about the
end of exile and the final redemption. This is why the
complete (ordinal plus standard gematria) value of
the initials of all 6 words is 385, the numerical value
of the Shechina, the female or earthly (divine
presence) aspect of G-d. It is also one of the reasons
why the Shema verse begins with the letter Shin
from Shechina (ShCYNH) and ends with Dalet or
numerical value 4, kabbalistically signifying the 4
letters of the YHVH…This will bring about the
transition into the tree-of-life…If there is one prayer
that ALL (kol) Israel says it is the Shema Ysrael. Let it
be with the consciousness to bring Oneness and
Moshiach.” 220
In Judaism Tefillin is known as the “Mark of HaShem” and
“an intimate connection between HaShem and His people.”
221 This connection is symbolized in the vav, vav, vav
(666) that is engraved in the Tefillin cube worn on the
forehead. On one side of the cube is the Hebrew letter shin
‫ ש‬. On the other side of the cube there is a four-headed shin,
which is not a letter, but a mystical sign that conceals the
number 666.
Rabbi Zamir Cohen, chairman of Hidabroot, the world’s
largest Jewish TV network, explains the meaning behind
Tefillin. 222 In a television presentation titled “Tefillin – What
is their Meaning and How Do We Wear Them?” Cohen
describes the black boxes in spiritual and scientific terms.
He states that the brain is the “entrance gate of man’s
spiritual illuminations,” therefore the head Tefillin acts as a
“receptor…for the reception of the spiritual illumination from
the eternal light” which he identifies as Ein Sof. 223
Addressing the structure of the head Tefillin, Cohen reveals
the vav, vav, vav or 666 hidden in the four-headed shin,
stating: “I will briefly say that it possesses a big
secret. When we look at the background, not the
bulge, but rather, the background, we have a “vav”,
another “vav”, another “vav”, meaning, inside these
four heads we have 3 “vavs” and 3 heads, and when
you take the line in the background that’s on the
bottom, you have an internal Shin, that’s basically
concealed inside the four headed Shin.” 224
Cohen implies that by wearing Tefillin a man may be
transformed [by energies] to a higher spiritual level. He
states, “That when a person wears tefillin, the color of his
aura changes to a higher level” and that “These things are
proven today” as “new research studies are revealing new
things.” 225 In another teaching Cohen affirms the omen of
the Zohar that states Israel “will be redeemed under the
secret of the letter ‘vav’. And it will be in the sixth
millennium.” 226 The rabbis testify: 6 is the number of
redemption, 666 the number of divine illumination.
The Babylonian Talmud relates the Zohar’s creation fable of
the mystical mark of Tav as a future and climactic event in
Israel’s redemption. This is based on the kabbalistic
principle of interconnection which states, “The beginning is
wedged in the end, and the end is wedged in the
beginning.” 227 The following commentary on the Talmud
reveals that ‫( ו ו ו‬666) is concealed in the Hebrew letter Tav,
the mark of Hashem, written as ‫ ת‬: “Tefillin being a mark
of HaShem is also mentioned in the Talmud…
According to our Sages, at the battle of Gog and
Magog every human in and around the Holy City will
be given the mark of the Hebrew letter, tav, upon
their forehead. According to the Tanakh {in Ezekiel
9} and the Talmud {in Shabbath 55a}, the Mark of
HaShem’s sign – the, tav - will be placed upon
everyone in and around Jerusalem. Those that
receive the mark in ink will be the righteous and
those that receive the mark in blood will be
condemned.”
“18 = ‫ ו‬6 (right) ‫ ו‬6 (top) ‫ ו‬6 (left)…The Gematria
construction of the Tav is a ‫ ו‬Vav = 6 on the right plus
a ‫ ו‬Vav = 6 on the top plus a ‫ ו‬Vav = 6 on the left. The
constructed Gematria is 18…When we examine the
Hebrew text of Ezekiel 9:4 we find that the English
word “mark” is used to translate the two Hebrew
characters ‫ תו‬, which spell out tav…‫ ת‬.” 228
Tractate Shabbath 55a of the Babylonian Talmud recounts
the rabbinic discussion on which the above scenario is
based: “The Holy One, blessed be He, spake thus to
them; Commence [destruction] from the place where
song is uttered before Me. And who were the six
men? — Said R. Hisda: Indignation [Kezef], Anger
[Af], Wrath [Hemah], Destroyer [Mashhith] Breaker
[Meshabber] and Annihilator [Mekaleh]. And why a ‫ת‬
tav? — Said Rab:, Tav [stands for] tihyeh [thou shalt
live], ‫ ת‬tav [stands for] tamuth [thou shalt die]…‫ת‬
Tav is the end of the seal of the Holy One, blessed be
He. For R. Hanina said: The seal of the Holy One,
blessed be He, is emeth [truth]…It denotes the
people who fulfilled the Torah from ‫ א‬alef to ‫ ת‬tav.”
229
For those familiar with the Jewish legend of the golem – also
recorded in the Talmud – it will not be difficult to recognize
the dark undertones reflected in this dialogue. The
Babylonian Talmud records how the rabbis created a man
from clay through the magic of Kabbalah by using the secret
names of god (a permissible form of sorcery according to
the Sefer Yetsirah and the Babylonian Talmud, Sanhedrin
65b and 67b). 230 The most well known fable in this series
is the golem of Prague. The word emet, or truth, was
inscribed on the forehead of the creature to keep him alive.
By erasing the first letter aleph (which represents oneness
with Ein Sof) only the word met (death) remained, resulting
in the destruction of the mindless manservant. This twisted
concept of truth is a continuous theme postulated in the
rabbinic writings of Kabbalah by those who have actually
rejected the truth: “In English we express the concept
of total truth by saying that something is true “from
A to Z.” In Hebrew the word for truth is ‫( ב מ א‬EMeT).
Its first letter is the very first letter of the Hebrew
alphabet, the ‫( א‬alef). The last letter is ‫( ב‬tav), the
end of the Alef-Bet. The exact middle of the 22
letters of the Hebrew alphabet is the ‫( מ‬mem)…Truth
demands total accuracy from start to finish, including
every point in the middle as well…Truth requires for
its essence the first letter ‫( א‬alef), the “One”
standing for the Almighty. Remove the initial letter in
‫( ב מ א‬EMeT) and all that remains is ‫( ב מ‬MT). Without
God there can be no truth. In its place only death and
destruction remain...God makes Himself manifest
through His law. In its three forms, Decalogue,
Mishnah, and Talmud, its opening letters make the
word ‫( ב מ א‬EMeT), as seal of its truth.” 231
The Zohar interprets the Shema as the “supernal mystery”
of the oneness of Ein Sof emanating through the “seed” of
the “engraved letters” from aleph to tav, from beginning to
end. 232 According to the Zohar, reciting the Shema with
ritualistic intention unifies the spheres of the sefirot tree:
“The third commandment: to realize that God exists – vast
and controlling the world – and to unify Him fittingly each
day in those six supernal directions, unifying them through
the six words of ‫( שמע ישראל‬Shema Yisra’el), Hear, O Israel!
(Deuteronomy 6:4).” 233 The commentary on the Pritzker
Edition of the Zohar explains, “The first line of the Shema
contains six words in Hebrew…These six words symbolize
the unity above…The second line of the Shema (a
nonbiblical response) also contains six words…These six
words symbolize Shekhinah (…Malkhut [“Kingdom’]) and
Her accompanying powers. The two realms correspond and
eventually unite.” 234
Once more we see the kingdom above uniting with the
kingdom below and becoming one. Anyone who is not one
with the god of the coming kingdom on earth will not be
part of the kingdom. Only those who keep the law from
aleph to tav will remain alive in the 7th millennium of
shabbat! By their own testimony, in the words of the sages
of Kabbalah, the mark of the converging kingdoms is the
letter of the law, by which those who keep the law are
conformed to the image of their god: “The word One in
the Shema should be equal in the duration of its
pronunciation to the six words…The third space or
section contains the Shema. “Hear Oh Israel, the
Lord our God is one God,” and is a commentary on
the letter V (vau) which proceeds from the two
letters before it and unites them…From these
observations we may gather the occult meaning of
the phylacteries. They are really explanations of the
letters of the Tetragrammaton or divine name…
Whoever wears the phylacteries bears the divine
likeness, for as the divine essence is expressed in the
Tetragrammaton, so man becomes bearer of his
image.” 235
In an age driven by technology and sensationalism,
Christians can sometimes get caught up in the script. But in
God’s universe nothing changes. Salvation, the true
redemption, has always been by faith. Romans 4:3-11 tells
us that Abraham believed God and it was accounted to him
for righteousness; the sign of circumcision being a seal of
the righteousness imputed to him by God through faith.
The enticement of knowledge as the pathway to the Creator
is very tempting. The rabbis of Kabbalah say that in the
future, technology will make it possible for everyone to
know the mysteries of creation: “As the world nears the
era of Mashiach, knowledge in all areas of life is
rapidly expanding. This concept is found in the
Zohar…prophesied in the Zohar that scientific
revelation—the knowledge from below—will converge
with the knowledge from “Above”—the rapidly
exploding revelation of mysticism and Hassidism. In a
sentence, one may summarize the Zohar by saying
that science and religion will converge. As time goes
on, science will reveal the profound secrets of
creation as already described in the mystical
tradition, and it will provide the technological means
for all to access that information.” 236
Those who adhere to the Babylonian Talmud and Kabbalah
believe that when all nations are observing the law then
God will be appeased and Moshiach will come to set up his
kingdom. According to them, the Gentiles from the nations
who keep the seven Noahide laws – Universal Moral Code
– become righteous Gentiles and will have a place in the
world to come. The Kabbalah rabbis of Chabad insist that
this is “the most crucial last stage before the arrival of
Messiah: for Jews to teach the Seven Noahide Laws to the
nations.” 237
“‘Why Are the Noahide Laws Especially Important
Today?’ Today, we are on the verge of a new era for
humankind, a time when we will finally live together
in peace and the world will be filled with divine
wisdom. Those who keep these basic rules will have a
share in that world, since, after all, they took part in
making it possible.” 238
The first Noahide law codified in the Babylonian Talmud
states, “Do not profane G-d’s Oneness in any way.” 239 The
Brit Olam Noahide World Center has even published a
Prayer Book for Noahides as a means for non-Jews to help
hasten the redemption. In an online interview featuring the
book, Rabbi Cherki, who directed the project, stated, “The
nations may say the first line of the Shema which is a
declaration of faith that God is one…According to Jewish
sources, in the future, God will be one throughout the
world.” 240 Based on the information presented in their own
sources, which god are the rabbis referring to? Is it Ein Sof,
Shekhinah, Metatron, Leviathan, the holy kosher serpent?
Which god are we to be unified with by obedience to the
law? And let’s not forget that disobedience to any one of the
Noahide laws incurs the death penalty by decapitation!
In his letter to the Galatians the Apostle Paul wrote, “Just as
Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for
righteousness. Therefore know that only those who are of
faith are sons of Abraham. And the Scripture, foreseeing
that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the
gospel to Abraham beforehand, saying, In you all the
nations shall be blessed. So then those who are of faith are
blessed with believing Abraham. For as many as are of the
works of the law are under the curse; for it is written,
Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all things
which are written in the book of the law, to do them. But
that no one is justified by the law in the sight of God is
evident, for the just shall live by faith.” (Galatians 3:6-11)
This is basic Christianity 101. Therefore it can only be
concluded that there is a supernatural force at work in this
movement and it is the spirit of antichrist and strong
delusion. In the final analysis, there is no doubt that the
message of the kosher pig, the sound of the shofar, the
harbinger, the moral code – whatever label they put on it –
is the Clarion Call for Christians to turn from the grace that
is in Christ through faith and return to the law and
covenants which Jesus abolished in His flesh: Even the law
of commandments contained in ordinances; for to
make in Himself of twain one new man, so making
peace; And that He might reconcile both unto God in
one body by the cross, having slain the enmity
thereby.
Ephesians 2:15-16
The Greek word used for “mark” in the Book of Revelation is
charagma (5480). Strong’s Concordance defines it as: a
scratch or etching (to sharpen, to a point), i.e. stamp (as a
badge of servitude), or sculptured figure, graven, mark. The
word mark is used a total of eight times in the Book of
Revelation in reference to the mark of the beast. The same
Greek word – charagma – is used in Acts 17:29. The English
word there is graven, and refers to the inscription that was
engraved on the altar to the unknown god which Paul came
upon in Athens. Paul used this word to explain to the men of
Athens that God who made all things, the Lord of heaven
and earth, does not dwell in temples; neither can His Divine
Nature be expressed through any graven image.
Revelation 13:11-14 says the beast coming up out of the
earth exercises the power of the first beast so that he
causes those on the earth to worship the first beast through
deception by the miracles he performs. As the god of this
world, Satan manifests himself in the external religious and
political systems of this world. The Babylonian Talmud and
Kabbalah set forth the mark of the righteous as a name or
number which represents truth or EMeT; the seal of truth of
a fleshly, earthly kingdom. This is a counterfeit of the seal
that is set upon those who believe the testimony of Jesus
Christ.
He that hath received his testimony hath set to his
seal that God is true.
John 3:33
The word seal used in John 3:33 is sphragizo and means to
stamp (with a signet or private mark) for security or
preservation; to set a seal upon; a signet (as fencing in or
protection from misappropriation); a stamp of genuineness.
It is the same word used in John 6:27 where Jesus said God
the Father has sealed the Son to give everlasting life
through the true work of God, which is to “believe on Him
whom the Father has sent.
Ephesians 1:13 says that after hearing the Word of truth and
believing the gospel of salvation we were sealed with the
Holy Spirit of promise which is the earnest – the security
deposit – of the purchased possession! (Ephesians 4:30, 2
Corinthians 1:22) The price of our redemption has been paid
by the blood of Jesus Christ. “And as we have borne the
image of the earthy,” the first man Adam from the dust, “we
shall also bear the image of the heavenly,” the last Adam,
Jesus Christ from above, who was made a life-giving Spirit.
(1 Corinthians 15:45-49) Now this I say, brethren, that
flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God. 1
Corinthians 15:50
These verses from 1 Corinthians 15 clearly set forth that the
Kingdom of God established by Jesus Christ is not the
earthly kingdom that is being heralded by the Kabbalah
rabbis of today’s Judaism. Corruption cannot inherit
incorruption. A perishable body bearing the image of Adam
can never attain to the imperishable image of the
resurrected Christ through the works of the flesh. Paul
shows us the mystery that was prophesied in Isaiah 25:8
and Hosea 13:14; that time when we shall be changed,
when the corruptible will put on incorruption, when this
mortal shall put on immortality and death is swallowed up in
victory.
In this most important chapter on the resurrection, Paul
concludes with a profound statement in verse 56: “The sting
of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.” So
powerful is the strength of sin that it is impossible for the
natural man to overcome it by the works of the law. “But
thanks be to God, Who gives us the victory through our Lord
Jesus Christ…and this is the victory that overcomes the
world, even our faith…that believes that Jesus Christ is the
Son of God!
Do not be deceived. There will never come a time when
believers in Christ must choose to take a mark for God in
opposition to the mark of the beast, which some are
teaching today. The foundation of God stands sure, having
this seal; The Lord knows those who are His. (2 Timothy
2:19) Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony
of our Lord…Who hath saved us, and called us with
an holy calling, not according to our works, but
according to His own purpose and grace, which was
given us in Christ Jesus before the world began…now
made manifest by the appearing of our Savior Jesus
Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought
life and immortality to light through the gospel. 2
Timothy 1:8-10
After the crucifixion of Jesus, His apostles were in hiding,
perplexed by the apparent loss of their Messiah. In their
minds they were sure that it was Jesus who should have
redeemed Israel. (Luke 24:21) After the report by the
women that the tomb was empty, two of His disciples went
to the village of Emmaus. As Jesus approached them on the
way, they did not know Him because their eyes were
restrained. After telling Him all that had happened, Jesus
said to them, “Oh fools, and slow of heart to believe all that
the prophets have spoken,” and beginning at Moses and all
the prophets, He expounded to them in all the Scriptures
the things concerning Himself. Verse 32 says He opened the
Scriptures. As Jesus continued with them and sat down to
eat He broke bread – symbolic of His body which had been
broken in death – and gave it to them and their eyes were
opened and they knew Him.
Immediately after this the two disciples returned to
Jerusalem, testifying to the eleven and those who were with
them “how He was known to them in the breaking of bread.”
And as they were speaking, Jesus appeared to them in His
resurrected body and opened their understanding, that they
might understand the Scriptures: These are the words
which I spoke unto you, while I was yet with you, that
all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the
law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms,
concerning Me. Luke 24:44-45
Though they had walked with Him and sat under His
teachings for three years, the disciples did not even know
Jesus until He opened the eyes of their understanding. How
much more do we, who have never seen Him, need our eyes
opened by the Holy Spirit of Truth in these days of such
great deception? How would we know Him if He were to
come to Jerusalem?
In Matthew chapters 23 and 24 the disciples asked Jesus,
Tell us, when shall these things be? And what shall be the
sign of your coming and of the end of the age? Jesus did not
say, ‘Hey guys, when you see all these things happening,
get ready, because I’m coming back. You will know that I am
the Messiah and we’re going to set up the kingdom in
Jerusalem!’ Instead, He warned them, “Then if any man
shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it
not…if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert;
go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe
it not.
If the rabbis of Kabbalah tell you the Moshiach is here,
believe it not! If they say he is in the temple, go not forth!

Jesus Identifies the Harlot with the Blood of the Righteous Prophets Upon Her
Hands

the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee. How
often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen
gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! Behold,
your house is left unto you desolate (Jerusalem is now seen in
the eyes of God as desolate; as Sodom and Egypt!). For I say unto
you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is He
that cometh in the name of the Lord.
Matthew 23:34-35 - (Jesus speaking to the Pharisees) Wherefore,
behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and
some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye
scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city:

Isaiah 1:21 - How is the faithful city become a harlot! It was full
of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers.
(Compare with Jesus' words to the Pharisees, "You are of your father
the devil...He was a murderer from the beginning...because there is
no truth in him. John 8:44)
Ezekiel 16:35 - Wherefore, O harlot, hear the Word of the Lord.
Ezekiel 16:15 - But you trusted in your own beauty, and played the
harlot because of your fame, and poured out your harlotry on
everyone passing by who would have it. (See verses 16 & 28)

rest with your fathers; and this people will rise and play the harlot
with the gods of the foreigners of the land, where they go to be
among them, and they will forsake Me and break My covenant which
I have made with them.
Deuteronomy 31:29 - (Moses speaking to the elders before his
death) For I know that after my death you will become utterly
corrupt, and turn aside from the way which I have commanded
you. And evil will befall you in the latter days, because you will
do evil in the sight of the Lord, to provoke Him to anger through the
work of your hands.
The Harlot is Clothed with Babylonian Scarlet and Purple
Revelation 17:4, 18:16 - And the woman was arrayed in purple and
scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls,
having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of
her fornications…The merchants of these things, which were made
rich by her…saying, Alas, alas that great city, that was clothed in
fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and
precious stones, and pearls!
Jeremiah 4:30 - And when thou art spoiled, what wilt thou do?
Though thou clothest thyself with crimson, though thou deckest thee
with ornaments of gold…in vain shalt thou make thyself fair. (See
Ezekiel 23:14-19)
The Voice of the Bridegroom Heard no More in the Great City
Jeremiah 7:34 - Then will I cause to cease from the cities of Judah,
and from the streets of Jerusalem, the voice of mirth, and the voice
of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the
bride: for the land shall be desolate.
Jeremiah 16:9 - For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel;
Behold, I will cause to cease out of this place in your eyes, and in
your days, the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice
of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride.
Jeremiah 25:10 - Moreover I will take from them the voice of mirth,
and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the
voice of the bride, the sound of the millstones, and the light
of the candle.
Revelation 18:21-23 - And a mighty angel took up a stone like a
great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence
shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found
no more at all. And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of
pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no
craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in
thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in
thee; And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee;
and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard
no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the
earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.

New Jerusalem is the Great City of God


Isaiah 65:17 - For, behold, I create new heavens and a new
earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come
into mind.
Isaiah 66:22 - For as the new heavens and the new earth,
which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall
your seed and your name remain.
John 14:2-3 - In my Father's house are many mansions...I go to
prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for
you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I
am, there ye may be also.
2 Peter 3:13 - Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for
new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
Hebrews 11:10, 16 - For he (Abraham) looked for a city which hath
foundations, whose builder and maker is God...But now they
desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is
not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for
them a city.
Revelation 21:2, 10 - And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem,
coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned
for her husband...And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great
and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy
Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God.
Revelation 21:23-24 - And the city had no need of the sun,
neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it,
and the Lamb is the light thereof. And the nations of them which
are saved shall walk in the light of it.

This is a partial list of Scriptures which identifies Jerusalem as Mystery Babylon,


the Great City and Mother of Harlots. There are over 80 Scriptures in the Old
Testament that refer to Jerusalem as a harlot and many more that denounce her
for her harlotries and whoredom with the gods of the surrounding nations.

YEA, YE TOOK UP THE TABERNACLE OF MOLOCH, AND THE STAR OF


YOUR GOD REMPHAN, IMAGES WHICH YE MADE TO WORSHIP THEM:
AND I WILL CARRY YOU AWAY BEYOND BABYLON.
Acts 7:43

But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your
images, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves.
Amos 5:26

The six-pointed star has a history dating back to ancient Babylon. In Kabbalah it
has long been regarded as an expression of the sacred name, the
Tetragrammaton; the seal of the divine image of God connecting heaven and
earth and a sign of universal redemption. The following quote is from the Israel
Ministry of Foreign Affairs. 241

“The legend of King Solomon’s Seal, of the wondrous signet ring which
he received from heaven, is common to Judaism, to Christianity and to
Islam. King Solomon’s Seal, whose base is on the ground and whose tip
reaches heaven, symbolizes a harmony of opposites…It relfects the
cosmic order, the skies, the movement of the stars in their spheres,
and the perpetual flow between heaven and earth…The seal, therefore,
represents super-human wisdom and rule by divine grace…the abstract
element of the figure and its geometrical completeness make it a
universal symbol…The symbol of the hexagram, the star-like figure
formed by two triangles, has many connotations, especially when it is
enclosed by a circle. The magic drawings of the hexagram and the
pentagram were known as seals, in keeping with the idea that a person
‘stamps himself’ with these signs in order to protect himself from
harmful spirits. This term is connected to the legend of King Solomon
who controlled the demons by means of a special signet ring on which
was engraved the Tettragrammaton. The seal only had power for one
thing to provide protection from malevolent forces.”
