Kabbalah versus Christian Charismatic Concept

-



One of my close social media friends, asked me to teach what authentic Kabbalah is. And after all this time, I chatted with her, I just realized what the difference is between Kabbalah and Christian Charismatic. Indeed, even though it looks quite controversial, this is one thing that is very interesting to talk about. What a coincidence, the church that is currently giving me the opportunity to grow, is actually not Christian Charismatic, but has converted to Christian Charismatic Movement, similar but not the same. Of course, few people understand what Christian Charismatic Movement is. OK, here I will share some similarities that are quite clear between the views of Christian Charismatic and the Kabbalah that I have been studying.

 

               First, Kabbalah places great emphasis on the relationship between the Creator and mankind. Likewise with Charismatic Christian, which has always been known as the concept of having an intimate relationship with God. If Kabbalah says it is the Congregation of Israel, Malchut, then in  Christian Charismatic it is the Bride of Christ or the body of Christ. Kabbalah defined it as a union between Zeir Anpin and Malchut, and Christian Charismatic teaches the existence of an intimate relationship.

               Second, authentic Kabbalah teaching also places great emphasis on the manifestation of G‑d, so that awareness of the Shechinah or the Presence of God Himself also becomes one of the basic steps for awareness of the presence or manifestation of the Divine. Likewise, Christian Charismatic always emphasize being aware of God's presence which always begins and is in the hearts of every one of us who believe, and we can feel His presence at every time and place.

               Third, authentic Kabbalah teaching also teaches meditation. However, some people realize that in Christian Charismatic there is also "Soaking Prayer" or "Soaking Worship". It is called soaking, because sometimes God's presence can be felt like flowing water. And the both had the same methods.

               Fourth, the teachings of Kabbalah also teach that every sound is mystical, Zeir Anpin. And Zeir Anpin will be very touched by Malchut, because of the voice she has. Likewise, Christians Charismatic always emphasize praise and worship, in order to attract God's presence and invite the Divine to live with us.

               Well, for now, I will share some of this, and of course I will also go on about the many similarities between Kabbalah Christian Charismatic. Actually, without me realizing it, it was Christian Charismatic teaching that made me fall in love with Kabbalah. And in my opinion, there is nothing more truly similar than Christian Charismatic teaching to Kabbalah.

Without realizing it, we will end the month of Elul and also the Jewish date 5783, and 5784 will be a new beginning, and a change of seasons. Numerology 84 is Pey and Dalet. Pey means the number 80, and its spiritual meaning is mouth, speech and conversation. The aspect of Pey's numerology is feminine. And Dalet, has numerology 4, and the spiritual meaning is an open door or window, and is sometimes interpreted as Dal meaning a poor person.   After a while, I meditated on this Pey Dalet. I felt that throughout the year 5784, it is where an open mouth meets an open door. This means that there will be freedom to speak. would like to express. Remember, when we enter ed the year 5781, when our open mouths must be closed, we were not only maintaining social distance from each other, but our physical mouths must also be closed, because of masks. So, Pey Dalet is the beginning where there is a turning point from a closed mouth to an open mouth. Not only that, maybe this is good and

The first time I heard about these four elements, fire, water, air and earth, that crossed my mind, it was probably thinking about 4 different worlds. But when I learned further, I came to understand that fire, water, air and earth, these four are elements or just unsure, and also that these four  are universal. And in each individual there are 4 elements with different levels and kinds in their within. The first element is fire. Fire speaks of examination, and often speaks of a fiery passion, or a high zest for life. Second, is water. Water is often interpreted as life or restoration. Based on the characteristics of water, water always needs a vessel to be able to stay still. The third is air. Air is interpreted as a sign of life or spirit, or soul, because it is impossible for every creature to live without breathing. And the breath of God that created the Adam can live. And fourth, this element is the easiest element to recognize, because it has character very hard, can be touched,

Some of people has question what’s that Tetragramaton, and if we see and read on the Book Zohar, so we will find that there’s any much more the words or sentences were written with capital letter. The Tetragramaton sometimes has called as the Tetragram. And in the Tetragramatom is countained  the “Tree Of Life” or Sfirot.  And Tetragamaton just contains 4 letter, namely Y-H-V-H, Yud-Hei-Vav-Hei, or shortly just 3 letters, Y-H-V, Yod Hei Vav. In Kabbalah, each letters of Y-H-V-H contained the different sfirot. And Y-H-V-H is Zeir Anpin. Yud is Chesed, Hei is Gvurah, Vav is Tiferet, and the second Hei is Malchut. And in Tetrtagramaton is the same with Avraham (Chessed), Yitzhak (Gvurah), and Jacob (Tiferet). In Tetragramaton we find the 4 worlds, Atzilut (Yud), Briah (Hei), Yetzirah (Vav), Asiyah (Hei), and 4 the journey of soul, Fire (Yod), Water (Hei), Air (Vav), Earth (Malchut).
