From January 2019 –
Breaking News Israel came out yesterday with an article saying that Kabbalah is not bad, but has just gotten a bad rap. There are ample posts on this site showing how erroneous this notion is. Here are some facts about Kabbalah that we need to have clear.
“Kabbalah, also called Jewish Mysticism, is in TRUTH the Mystery Schools teachings of Babylon HIDDEN behind the LIE that it is the “Spiritual” translation/interpretation of the ‘Mysteries’ of the Universe/Creation & understanding BEHIND the written Torah as revealed to the Rabbis.
Kabbalah is the ROOT or “Mother” of Gnosticism, Theosophy, Luciferianism, the ‘New’ Age movement, etc in the “Spiritual/Religious” Worldview & is ALSO the ROOT of Alchemy, PHYSICS, & many other ‘Arts & Sciences’ in the Secular Worldview. It’s extremely important to be aware of these facts before reading the following article. A further explanation will be included after the article, but before we get started let’s look at the modern Hebrew/Jewish definition of the word Kabbalah…..
Kab·ba·lah
/kəˈbälə,ˈkabələ/Submit
noun
noun: Kabbalah; noun: Qabalah; noun: Cabala; noun: Cabbala; noun: Kabbala
the ancient Jewish tradition of mystical interpretation of the Bible, first transmitted orally and using esoteric methods (including ciphers). It reached the height of its influence in the later Middle Ages and remains significant in Hasidism.
Origin
*from medieval Latin cabala, cabbala, from Rabbinical Hebrew qabbālāh ‘tradition,’ from qibbēl **‘receive, accept.’**
To RECEIVE. To ACCEPT.
Now’s a good time to ask yourself, what or WHO is one receiving THROUGH the study & practice of Kabbalah. Please understand, this is part of the Great deception.” – Allison Page Walters
Rabbi: Kabbalah Is Nothing To Fear

Beyond Red Strings and Amulets: Kabbalah for the Nations
By Dr. Rivkah Lambert Adler January 4, 2019 , 9:59 am
If you’ve been taught that Kabbalah is demonic or evil, Rabbi Yitzchak Michaelson from the city of Tzfat (Safed) in Northern Israel wants you to know that you don’t need to be afraid of it.
He told Breaking Israel News that “Kabbalah got a bad rap because of associations with mysticism and notions that it’s connected to red strings, holy water and amulets. Popular misconceptions [about Kabbalah] abound.”
He further explained that people who are untrained and uneducated in Kabbalah find bizarre or outrageous things in English translations of kabbalistic texts which they then quote out of context, perpetuating the misconceptions.
Michaelson decries the fact that Kabbalah has been presented in “a New Age package. That’s a problem, [because it actually] has its roots in Judaism.” He is on a mission to restore the true nature of Kabbalah, to make it “palatable to the masses, without divorcing it from Judaism.”
Under the auspices of The Kabbalah Project, Michaelson is creating a curriculum he calls The Science of Kabbalah. Based on Jewish wisdom, he said the ideal student is “a person who is hungry for more than what they’ve learned so far, who has a desire to draw closer to the Creator and transform themselves and to help usher in redemption.”
The first two volumes of The Science of Kabbalah are already available in both paperback and eBook formats.
Michaelson is a student of Rabbi Yehuda Leib Ashlag. Born in Poland in 1885, Rabbi Ashlag, *who is also known as the **BA’AL Sulam**after his greatest work, divided kabbalistic teachings into two parts. According to Michaelson, one part is meant to be “studied only by those who are well-rounded in Torah.”
But there is a whole other part of Kabbalah, called ta’amei Torah (literally a taste of Torah) that should be widely disseminated throughout the world. Michaelson said that Rabbi Ashlag, “wept over the fact that not enough time was spent on studying Kabbalah. [He believed that] the lack of spreading ta’amei Torah is holding back geula (redemption).”
Kabbalah means reception. In modern Israel, to check in to a hospital or a hotel, you go to the kabbalah – the reception desk.
Thus, studying this ancient wisdom gives us “the ability to transform ourselves individually from being selfish, with a will to receive for ourselves alone, to wanting to receive in order to give to others and therefore to be more like Hashem (God).”
Michaelson explained that Rabbi Ashlag, who passed away in Jerusalem in 1954 “saw us living as broken people in a broken world. The only way to see true transformation was to disseminate this information and give people tools to destroy the ego and to be able to give out what they receive, which is the light they get from Hashem.”
Michaelson shared a basic principle of Kabbalah which teaches that, in order make room for creation, God contracted Himself. The space He evacuated was called choshech(darkness).
This Godly contraction created a number of side effects, one of which was that sparks of holiness fell throughout the world. “Perfection of the world means gathering up the holy sparks. In teaching and bringing this wisdom to the Nations, we are giving them tools to transform themselves,” Michaelson emphasized.
This transformation and restoration is the very definition of tikkun olam (repairing the world). “We know that in order for there to be true tikkun olam, perfection of the world, there must be a gathering of the holy sparks, which include not only the Jewish people, but holy sparks of the Nations that need to be gathered in as well. This is the only way to bring redemption and true perfection to the world.
“There has to be participation in this ancient wisdom by all with a desire to see the coming of Moshiach (messiah) and redemption. That’s why it’s being made available.” Michaelson especially wants to reach the person who is afraid of Kabbalah because they’ve heard it’s bad or wrong.
He wants people to know that Kabbalah provides, “answers to deep questions. We are not speaking of evil things.” He emphasized that, “The real intention is to share the real secrets of the Torah that Hashem meant for us to know.
“It is Judaism, not science, that has the answers. [God] wants us to learn this wisdom in order to transform ourselves, transforming our will to receive in order to give,” he asserted.
Since the original texts of Kabbalah are written in Hebrew or Aramaic, they are not accessible to most people. Michaelson emphasized the importance of studying with a qualified teacher who knows the material.
“I felt like there was a vacuum in this area for the non-Jew.” It was to fill this vacuum that he created the Science of Kabbalah series. The first few volumes compare science to Kabbalah, demonstrating how Kabbalists 800 years ago understood concepts that modern science is just revealing now.
At this stage, he’s focusing on showing his students how “the wisdom of Kabbalah reveals secrets in the Torah that explain creation and the beginning of the universe, by narrowing the gap between modern science and Kabbalah.”
He offered an example to illustrate this principle. Bible believers and scientists differ on the question of how old the universe is. According to the Hebrew calendar, which began its count at the creation of Adam, we are in the year 5779. According to science, the world is billions of years old. How can both be true?
Kabbalah explains the time period between Genesis 1:26 when man was made
And Hashem said, “Let us make man Genesis 1:26
and Genesis 1:27 when man was created.
And Hashem created man in His image Genesis 1:27
Kabbalah explains the discrepancy by teaching that the first version of man, the human-like creatures that God created in verse 26, existed for a period of time without a soul. It wasn’t until God blew the breath of life into Adam, that humans had a neshama (soul). Starting in verse 27, man became fully human and the Hebrew calendar began its counting.
Along with co-host William Hall, Michaelson has a new radio show called The Science of Kabbalah on Israel NewsTalk Radio where he explains many of these teachings.
He is well-aware that a significant portion of the INTR audience is not Jewish. “I’ve always had tomatoes thrown at me because I don’t think Torah is exclusively for the Jews. Torah is not just about the Jews. It’s about the Nations. Hashem chose us [the Jewish people] to give this wisdom to the world. I don’t think we can have redemption without the Nations,” he said.
“[This study] is going to open up answers to questions that a Christian would have. It will give them tools that they wouldn’t have otherwise.” Michaelson wants people to know that, by studying the lessons he is preparing, “there are sources in Judaism that have answers” for the really knotty questions in life.

In a nutshell, the Sephiroth or Kabbalist ‘Tree of life'[in Truth it represents NOT LIFE, but the Tree of the Knowledge of Good & EVIL] with its 10 balls/Ba’als of LIGHT represents the concept of the Macro & Micro & these “Divine sparks” or ‘Emanations’ & the belief that Man is contained withIN the UniVERSE, & the UniVERSE[god withIN Man] is withIN US.
As Above so Below, As WithIN so withOUT. Do you understand what they’re really teaching, where they’re really GOING with this?
The DECEPTION is so CLOSE to the TRUTH, only our Father can know the hearts of Men, who is entering through Jesus Christ & who is attempting to enter through another GATE. This is why & how even the Elect could be deceived were it possible.
God DOES DWELL withIN Man, we ARE the Temple of GOD & we DO dwell withIN His UniVERSE, but it is ONLY through Jesus Christ that we come BACK into a Relationship with Him & by which we RECEIVE the Holy Spirit & are reborn into LIFE in the Spirit, NOT through this back door attempt to return to the Garden & “Awaken the spark” in order to Ascend to godhood/divinity through the FALSE EnLIGHTenment of Kabbalah & the pursuit of good WORKS.
And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
” Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.”
2 Corinthians 11:14-15
Satan is STILL drawing Man IN with the SAME. Old. LIE. Tempting the HEARTS of Men, sifting them, gathering in the Tares to be bundles & burned, cast into the Flames of Destruction to which he himself is condemned. He still serves God even in his OWN Rebellion, we should never forget that.
It’s still about those 2 TREES, choose Jesus Christ & the Tree of Life upon which He was Crucified, Sacrificing Himself to Atone for our Sins, leaving the curse of this body of Flesh bound by the Law of Sin & Death nailed there, that we may Walk with Him in the Spirit of LIFE. There IS no other WAY. No other Truth.
Genesis 3
1 Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.
8 And they heard the voice of the LordGod walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of theLord God amongst the trees of the garden.
9 And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?
10 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.
11 And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?
12 And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.
13 And the Lord God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.
14 And the Lord God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:
15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
16 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
17 And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;
18 Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;
19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.
20 And Adam called his wife’s name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.
21 Unto Adam also and to his wife did theLord God make coats of skins, and clothed them.
22 And the Lord God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:
23 Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.
24 So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
