Two - The Character of God
Still today, out of apparent respect, devout Jews do not pronounce the name YHVH when reading it directly, pronouncing "Adonai" (Lord) instead. The history of Judaism and its teachings abounds with the ritual sacrifice of sheep and goats, particularly. It does not come as a surprise therefore when Rabbi Joshua Ben Joseph, or Jesus in Greek, became the Lamb of God, ultimately being offered up for sacrifice for the redemption of mankind. (The final goat/sheep sacrifice to mark the passing of that Age). (Magicians were also astrologers, hence the Magi followed the star or new astrological ‘Age of Pisces’ in the New Testament account. The manger represented the Zodiac. (Greek = circle of animals – in the heavens) And "Bethlehem" simply spells "the house of God" in Hebrew.) Bet (P), the second letter of the Hebrew alphabet ("Alefbet" P } from right to left) is also the first letter of the first word of the Book of Genesis "Bereshit", "In the beginning". Kabbalists maintain that the first 42 letters of Genesis constitute the 42-lettered name of God "by many permutations". Therefore, the significance of the primary placement of the letter Bet, whose conceptual meaning is "within, house, home …" is that it tells initiates that "contained in here, from this very point, is the word /name of God (i.e. knowledge of all other things/names/words) Indeed, such all-encompassing power is not to be trifled with. Thus the Gospel of John, in true Mosaic style, "lays identical claim" to this incredible power by opening with exactly the same phrase "In the beginning … the word was with God and the word was God", shedding a little more light on the deeper, concealed meaning. Then "the word became flesh and dwelt among us" in the form of the revised teachings of Jesus and through his living example. The ultimate secret behind the name of God becomes evident to those who study Kabbalah (Hebrew meaning being "to receive" from God). It is the Jewish mystery religion, believed to have arisen only in the 3rd or 4th Century AD, but whose tenets and wisdom – also biblical decryption devices – precede the movement well back to the time when most sacred writings were first penned in Hebrew. There are concepts relating to the hidden name or names of God – beneath the biblical surface variant YHVH or ELOHIM. E.g. the already mentioned 42-lettered name of God and the 72-lettered name of God, are secretly buried in the Old Testament texts. Included in these names is handed-down knowledge of the laws of nature and the laws of the universe, mysteries to those not capable of assimilating them. For example, the biblical account of the fall of the walls of Jericho holds an encoded Hebrew formula on how to make destructive use of sound vibration. Today we use the term "scientific knowledge" and most of humanity remains ignorant as to the depth and workings of, for instance, of the laws of physics. This is just as well, for you can imagine the devastation that would be unleashed through a general understanding of say, "splitting the atom". The cloning of animals is now a fait accompli. Given over to mankind as a general, working formula, indiscriminate cloning of people would definitely ensue, with highly dubious, if not socially catastrophic consequences.

e learn in Exodus 3:13, that the true nature of God, "I AM THAT I AM"
– AHYH AS(h)R AHYH
– right to left HYHA RS(h)A HYHA. (The eternal cosmic echo of
self) was cleverly substituted for the name YHVH by manipulating ideagrams that
are contained in the Hebrew letters – Y for A ; H for H ; V
for Y; H for H. Thus the Y(OD), the germ or seed of man (mortal
existence), as its shape depicts (
W ), becomes
detached, for the sake of concealment, from the A(LEF), the eternal, unknowable,
life-death-life-death principle.(
} ) The 2 lives
(H’s) that remain conjoined are the physical life and the (metaphysical)
spiritual life of man.
