The Esoteric Bible - 002

I will be assuming that the readers have familiarity with the Bible and I can make references to stuff. This probably won't be as true as I suppose, so I hope you will feel free to ask questions of clarification if I assume more than I should.

I used the term 'fractal' to describe the unity of the Bible. The main unity of the Bible can be expressed by the name יהוה Yahweh, I am. It is the name that God chose for himself spelled with nothing but vowels. We are most familiar in the form shown which has two hei's which gives it the sound of breath, expressing that he is spirit.

The word itself means "I am" and it derives this meaning from the letters.

The blank page represents God. Man is not supposed to represent God in any way, so the best representation we can have is something that is untouched. The page is. God is.

י yod is the smallest letter. It represents God's first thought of creation. Everything that could be thought, said, and made, is contained in the yod. It is like the Big Bang point. Everything that is, comes from it. As an idea it is separate from God, yet is not separated from God.

It is a magnificent metaphor which can be looked at from many sides.

יעל up - (י thought על el, thought of God) it is God who thought the thought.

יטה down (י he טה spread out) it is everything that God created by through the thought

קדם east (ancient) it is everything in eternity

ים west (ם The Son finished what י God planned) it is everything in time

ימן right (God's manna) it is all spiritual things

שמאל left (שמ reputation of אל God) - it is all fleshly things

Two of the six directions do not have a yod. The silence speaks. Eternity was not included in the thought of creation. Eternity is not a thing, it is the absence of a thing. It is the absence of time. The only thing that existed prior to creation was God.

The missing י yod from שמאל samal (left) tells us that God's reputation is in the hands of his witnesses who have free will. Your choices are not in the yod. They are yours. "The heaven of heavens cannot contain thee". When God started to create, he made a void within himself to place all of creation. The yod is that void.

ו the vav is a י yod extended. God spoke into the void and created the heavens and the earth. It is translated 'and' and just like 'and' it makes a distinction between two. It both divides and joins. It clarifies. It is the Word which is sharper than a a two-edged sword, able to discern between the passing thought and the intention of the heart... between the soul and the spirit.

A word is made by combining the metaphor of its letters:

Together the י yod and the ו vav represent י the creator ו who discerns. יו

יום yom (day) is יו the creator who discerns ם the finished work of the son of man.

It is also ו a distinction between י God's plan and ם the finished work of the son of man.

It is the word 'day'. Each day in Genesis 1 is a distinct picture of Christ fulfilling the will of the father.

יון yawen (miry, a troublesome or intractable situation) יו the creator discerns ן the son of man in death.

or ו a clarification of י God's plan and ן the son of man in death.

ה he represents a declaration which is heard and partially responded to. It can also refer to the response to the declaration.

הוה havah (be) - the essence of being is to have a choice. הוה is a ו clarification between two ה responses.

יהוה Yahweh (I am) the name God chose for himself was not just יו The God who knows, but יהוה the י creator הוה who has choice, who is. His name mean that he has the ultimate choice, he is the Sovereign God.

The purpose of the Bible is to reveal God to man. This one word, Yahweh, accomplishes that revelation and summarizes the Bible. God is the sovereign being who created, and by virtue of having created it, owns it and has the final say in all the choices. The name sets forth the primary rule of law, "You cannot control that which you cannot destroy". By virtue of having created it, he can destroy it. No one can judge him in his choices.

From the letters of his name we have seen that the blank page is self-existent, the yod is different from the page but is not separated from it. The vav extends from the yud and is different but not separate. The three are an expression of the Trinity as the substance, the thought, the word; Inseparable, yet different. The word 'person' is a frail expression of the inseparable parts of the Trinity.

The second message derives from the first. God chose the name יהוה for himself, now replace the smaller description of God יו with Father אב and we get אהבה Love.

This will be the topic of the next post.
