This book is about biblical gematria and the merkabah; what it is, how to use it, and its history from ancient to modern times; all of which has traditionally been a secret until I started sharing my discoveries a few years ago.If you want to know: * How to recognize and use the gematria of the bible to interpret the text - * Why the merkabah was hidden and kept secret - * In what way the merkabah influenced modern kabbalah - * How secret and fraternal societies have used the merkabah as the basis of their esoteric systems of magick - * Why biblical gematria and the merkabah is important to the modern academic study of the ancient near east - * And why understanding the merkabah may be crucial to the Israel/Palestinian conflict - - then you need to read this book.If however, you think the merkabah is a double star tetrahedron that you need to activate then I suggest you buy a pamphlet from the usual purveyors of new age snake oil.
