Category:Merkabah

Merkabah (Hebrew: מרכבה "chariot") is the Throne Chariot of God or better the Throne Chariot of the LORD in the vision of Ezekiel. Merkabah mysticism shaped the first epoch of Jewish mysticism from about the 1st century BC onwards and was developed even before the Kabbalah and was dedicated to the exploration of the heavenly throne world, which roughly corresponds to the Pleroma of the Gnostics. Here the spiritual archetypes of all creation can be seen.
