Deuteronomy 5:22
These words the LORD spake unto
all your assembly in the mount out

Revelations 22:18-20
(18)For I testify unto every man that heareth the
words of the prophecy of this book, If any man
shall add unto these things, God shall add unto
him the plagues that are written in this book:
(19) And if any man shall take away from the words
of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away
his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy
city, and from the things which are written in this
book.
(20) He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I
come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

What was just presented was actual
Scriptures from the Hebrew Bible.
However, Judaism, Catholicism, and all the
“ism’s” (including the Protestants) have
taken it upon themselves to add volumes of
books and opinions to the word of God
This continues today and will continue until
the Lord comes……….

The Hebrew Bible says:
Isa.28[10] For precept must be upon
precept, precept upon precept; line
upon line, line upon line; here a little,
and there a little:
‫ ז ְֵעיר‬,‫ז ְֵעיר שָּ ם‬--‫ ַקו לָּ ָּקו ַקו לָּ ָּקו‬,‫ִכי ַצו לָּ צָּו ַצו לָּ צָּו‬

2 Peter 1:21
Peter (Cephas) a Jewish follower of Messiah states:
For the prophecy came not in old time
by the will of man: but holy men of
God spake as they were moved by the
Holy Ghost.

Scripture is NOT the opinions of man
that differ with each other on almost
every issue, as the Talmud does, but is
inspired by God!
2Tim.3[16] All scripture is given by
inspiration of God, and is profitable for
doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for
instruction in righteousness:[17] That the
man of God may be perfect, throughly
furnished unto all good works.

God Reveals Scripture
Deut.29[29] The secret things belong unto
the LORD our God: but those things
which are revealed belong unto us and
to our children for ever, that we may do
all the words of this law.
January 28, 2006

Dan 2:19 Then was the secret revealed unto Daniel in
a night vision. Then Daniel blessed the God of
heaven.
20] Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of
God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are
his:
[21] And he changeth the times and the seasons: he
removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth
wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them
that know understanding:
[22] He revealeth the deep and secret things: he
knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light
dwelleth with him.
[28] But there is a God in heaven that revealeth
secrets, and maketh known to the king
Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days.

Instead of using the Word of God, and
the Holy Ghost for understanding,
Judaism uses their four levels of
understanding from the Zohar, their
mystical book.
January 28, 2006
http://OneInMessiah.net
The four level of interpretation are called: Parshat,
Remez, D’rash & Sod. From the Zohar (Mystical Book)
The first letter of each word P-R-D-S is
taken, and vowels are added for
pronunciation, giving the word
PARDES (meaning "garden" or
"orchard"). Each layer is deeper and
more intense than the last, like the
layers of an onion.
January 28, 2006
http://OneInMessiah.net
Pasha (pronounced peh-shaht' - meaning "simple"
the literal meaning. )
Remez (pronounced reh-mez' - meaning "hint")
D’rash (pronounced deh-rahsh' also called
"Midrash" - comparable to a sermon ) Drash meaning "search“
Sod (pronounced sawd or sood [like "wood"] meaning "hidden") This understanding is the
hidden, secret or mystic meaning of a text
January 28, 2006
http://OneInMessiah.net
It is very important to realize that when we
speak in terms of Kabbalah we almost
always speaking of things on the Drash and
Sod levels of understanding.
The classic document of the Kabbalistic
tradition, the Zohar, was compiled by Moses
de Leon about 1290. A more systematic
presentation of the basic doctrine is
contained in Moses Cordovero's Pardes
rimmonim (Garden of Pomegranates, 1548).
Kabbalah was a major influence in the
development of Hasidism and still has
adherents among Hasidic Jews.

Deuteronomy 12: 29-31
[29] When the LORD thy God shall cut off the nations from
before thee, whither thou goest to possess them, and thou
succeedest them, and dwellest in their land;
[30] Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by
following them, after that they be destroyed from before
thee; and that thou inquire not after their gods, saying,
How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do
likewise.
[31] Thou shalt not do so unto the LORD thy God: for every
abomination to the LORD, which he hateth, have they
done unto their gods; for even their sons and their
daughters they have burnt in the fire to their gods.
January 28, 2006
http://OneInMessiah.net
Deut. 18[9] When thou art come into the land which the
LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do
after the abominations of those nations.
[10] There shall not be found among you any one that
maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or
that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an
enchanter, or a witch,
[11] Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a
wizard, or a necromancer.
[12] For all that do these things are an abomination unto the
LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy
God doth drive them out from before thee.
[13] Thou shalt be perfect with the LORD thy God.

Now, meet some of the pseudo
sages in Talmudic Rabinic
Judaism who feel free to add and
diminish from the word of God.
Note: In the synagogues, Rabbis quote
other Rabbis, Sages, and Talmud more
often than the Prophets of God or the
TaNaKh.

Rambam (Maimonides; Rabbi Moshe ben Maimon) (1135-1204 C.E.)
A physician born in Moorish Cordoba, Rambam lived in a variety of places
throughout the Moorish lands of Spain, the Middle East and North Africa,
often fleeing persecution. He was a leader of the Jewish community in Cairo.
He was heavily influenced by Greek thought, particularly that of Aristotle.
Rambam was the author of the Mishneh Torah, one of the greatest codes of
Jewish law, compiling every conceivable topic of Jewish law in subject matter
order and providing a simple statement of the prevailing view in plain
language. In his own time, he was widely condemned because he claimed that
the Mishneh Torah was a substitute for studying the Talmud.
Rambam is also responsible for several important theological works. He
developed the 13 Principles of Faith, the most widely accepted list of Jewish
beliefs. He also wrote the Guide for the Perplexed, a discussion of difficult
theological concepts written from the perspective of an Aristotelian
philosopher.

Ramban (Nachmanides; Rabbi Moshe ben Nachman) (1194-1270 C.E.)
Ramban was the foremost halakhist of his age. Like Rambam before him,
Ramban was a Spaniard who was both a physician and a great Torah scholar.
However, unlike the rationalist Rambam, Ramban had a strong mystical
bent. His biblical commentaries are the first ones to incorporate the mystical
teachings of kabbalah.
He was well-known for his aggressive refutations of Christianity, most notably,
his debate with Pablo Christiani, a converted Jew, before King Jaime I of
Spain in 1263.
Ramban could be described as one of history's first Zionists, because he
declared that it is a mitzvah to take possession of Israel and to live in it
(relying on Num. 33:53). He said, "So long as Israel occupies [the Holy Land],
the earth is regarded as subject to Him." Ramban fulfilled this
commandment, moving to the Holy Land during the Crusades after he was
expelled from Spain for his polemics. He found devastation in the Holy
Land, "but even in this destruction," he said, "it is a blessed land." He died
there in 1270 C.E.

Baal Shem Tov (the Besht, Rabbi Israel ben
Eliezer) (1700-1760 C.E.)
The founder of Chasidic Judaism. Although
many books of his teachings exist, the Besht
himself wrote no books, perhaps because his
teachings emphasized the fact that even a
simple, uneducated peasant could approach
G-d (a radical idea in its time, when Judaism
emphasized that the way to approach G-d
was through study). He emphasized prayer,
the observance of commandments, and
ecstatic, personal mystical experiences.

Rabbi Judah Ha-Nasi (approx. 135-219
C.E.)
The Patriarch of the Jewish community,
Rabbi Judah Ha-Nasi was welleducated in Greek thought as well as
Jewish thought. He organized and
compiled the Mishnah, building upon
Rabbi Akiba's work.
January 28, 2006
http://OneInMessiah.net
The Chabad-Lubavitch movement formed
from the writings of Rabbi Shneur Zalman of
Liadi, who published the Tanya, in 1796. The
Tanya contains the key to Jewish mystical
and spiritual awareness, according to
Chabadnicks. Following Schneur Zalman,
there have been seven other Lubavitcher
Rebbes, each designated by his predecessor.

The Zohar
The Zohar (Hebrew Zohar "Splendor, radiance") is widely
considered the most important work of Kabbalah, Jewish
mysticism. It is a mystical commentary on the Torah (five
books of Moses), written in medieval Aramaic and
medieval Hebrew. It contains a mystical discussion of the
nature of God, the origin and structure of the universe, the
nature of souls, sin, redemption, good and evil, and related
topics.
The Zohar is not one book, but a group of books. These
books include scriptural interpretations as well as material
on theosophic theology, mythical cosmogony, mystical
psychology, and what some would call anthropology.
January 28, 2006
http://OneInMessiah.net
cosmogony
The astrophysical study of the origin and
evolution of the universe.
A specific theory or model of the origin
and evolution of the universe.
January 28, 2006
http://OneInMessiah.net
theosophic
Religious philosophy or speculation about the
nature of the soul based on mystical
insight into the nature of God.
often Theosophy The system of beliefs and
teachings of the Theosophical Society,
founded in New York City in 1875,
incorporating aspects of Buddhism and
Brahmanism, especially the belief in
reincarnation and spiritual evolution.

Origin of Zohar
According to Gershom Scholem, most of the Zohar was
written in an exalted style of Aramaic that was spoken in
Palestine during the second century of the modern era. The
Zohar first appeared in Spain in the thirteenth century, and
was published by a Jewish writer named Moses ben ShemTov de Leon
He ascribed this work to a rabbi of the second century,
Simeon ben Yohai, Jewish historian, holds that during a
time of Roman persecution, Rabbi Simeon hid in a cave for
13 years, studying the Torah (five books of Moses) with his
son Eliezar. During this time he is said to have been
inspired by God to write the Zohar.

Comment
Kabbalah, Eastern Religions,
Spiritualism, Reincarnation
(Transmigration of Souls), and New

are abominations to God.

Conclusion of the whole matter:
Ecclesiastes 12: 12
And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making
many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness
of the flesh.
[13] Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear
God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole
duty of man.
[14] For God shall bring every work into judgment, with
every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
