TETZAVEH

Shalom, Shalom. We commence this DEVAR TORAH by focusing upon the opening scenario contained in the SIDRAH. The opening scenario is a narrative disclosing the instructions given to the NAVI (prophet) MOSHE on the preparation of the oil of illumination to be used for the lighting of the MENORAH. He is instructed to command BENEI YISRAEL (the children of Israel) “that they shall take for you clear olive oil, crushed for illumination, to kindle a lamp continually.” Exodus 27:20b No doubt the understanding of the IKARIM (principles) contained in the instruction will disclose the PATH OF LIFE that gives rise to the manifestation of HAMACHSHAVAH HA ELYONAH (the Supreme Mind).

The manifestation of HAMACHSHAVAH HA ELYONAH, that is, the INVISIBLE becoming VISIBLE, is speaking of ADAM KADMON which is CREATION. CREATION has been predetermined to unfold as a visible manifestation of G-d, yea, D’MUT ADAM (the image of man) is destined to become B’TZELEM ELOHIM (the image and likeness of G-d). Like the microism, man, the macroism creation is made in D’MUT ADAM. Torah reveals that man is in a process of becoming B’TZELEM ELOHIM. This process is occurring at both levels, that is, the MICROISM and the MACROISM.

The preparation of the oil for illumination is the disclosure of how that coming to the END of an ERA will be experienced. Life is continuous, thus the end of a thing is the beginning of the same thing in a new form. All around us we are witnessing to destruction. The destruction is the end of an ERA giving rise to the birthing of a new ERA. The new ERA is the manifestation of HAVAYOT (the force of creation). This force will manifest HAMACHSHAVAH HA ELYONAH, that is, EQUIVALENCE of FORM. In other words, the MIDDOT (qualities) of the CREATOR will be visibly made manifest in form. The NEVIIM received visions revealing elimination of death in the physical body as well as the lion laying down with the lamb in the environment. 

As the destruction is occurring, the LIGHT of CHOCHMAH is being revealed, illuminating the path to LIFE that is in the midst. Therefore arise and shine for the LIGHT has come that will reveal the GLORY of G-d concealed in you.
