Formation - The yod [∞]

Discussion

'''Yod י New creation''' [Yod_י_New_creation ∞]


Imagine that a blank page represents God in all his perfection. God is! There is no introduction to God. He just is. [1] [2]

If we touch the page and draw on it, it no longer represents God. If we put our hand to it, in God's estimation, we pollute it. God said not to make a graven image. [3] [4] [q 1][a 1] [5]

  1. ↑ The same is true of Genesis 1:1 where he just exists. There is no mention of His beginning.
  2. ↑ see Something from nothing
  3. ↑ ▸ ± Ex 20:4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness [of any thing] that [is] in heaven above, or that [is] in the earth beneath, or that [is] in the water under the earth:
  4. ↑ ▸ ± Ex 20:25 And if thou wilt make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stone: for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it.
  5. ↑ ▸ ± Le 26:1 ¶ Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up [any] image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I [am] the LORD your God.

Now consider the blank page as representing God before he decided to create. Where can God create the universe? There is no container for God. He is too big. [1] [q 2] [a 2] The blank page that we hold up must be imagined to be infinitely wide and infinitely tall. Where can God create? There is no place which God does not fill already. [q 3] [a 3]

  1. ↑ ▸ ± 1Ki 8:27 ... behold, the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain thee;...

The yod י represents the first thought of creation and is the smallest letter of the Hebrew alphabet. [1] It contains everything that God wished to accomplish. The yod י not only contains all the physical elements of time, chance and matter, like scientific the notion of the Big Bang, but it also contains the revelation of the personality and character of God, as well as the potential for every thought that has been thought or spoken.

  1. ↑ ▸ ± Job 38:4 Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.

When God first started to create, he had to open a void within himself; [1] a place to put things. There was no place else to do it. He made room for us within himself. This is represented by a yod on the page. Everything else that was created was created in and from this void. [q 4] [a 4]

  1. ↑ ▸ ± Ge 1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness [was] upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

This first thing that springs forth from the yod is the alphabet. Each letter starts by first drawing a yod י, then a vav ו. All the other letters are yods and vavs combined. Then from the alphabet, words are formed; and using the words, God commanded all else to spring into existence. [1] [q 5] [a 5]

  1. ↑ The phrase "God said..." is used ten times during creation as He created all using words.

Questions

  1. ↑ Are there scriptures that indicate that God is represented by untouched things?
  2. ↑ Is God in everything and everywhere, or is everything and everywhere in God?
  3. ↑ What is the theological word used to describe that there is nowhere where God isn't?
  4. ↑ Since rooms, are formed by the geometry of the walls and ceilings of the house, where do the properties and attributes of the rooms come from?
  5. ↑ Which has the power: God, or the words he used?

Vocabulary


Answers

  1. ↑ ▸ ± Ex 20:25 And if thou wilt make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stone: for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it.
  2. ↑ Everything is in God. There is no container large enough to put God in.
  3. ↑ Omnipresent
  4. ↑ From the house. If we are the voids, all of our attributes come from God.
  5. ↑ God has all power. We must not make the mistake of thinking that words have power.
