In QBL whisperings, one things that has always stood the test of time in keeping me facinated were the attributions to Godhead and their cross-cultural interpretational similarities.
Though there really is not the time to get into this in any real detail right now, i'll write til' i have to go meet for this appointment.
(needless to say, thoughts will be somewhat scattered and might possibly meander hither and yon.)
Particularily of interest here are the angelic beings recognized as Sandalphon and Metraton, though these are only recognizable as archtypal imagery because of impressions made on another (lower plane) universe of existence.
ON ANOTHER NOTE
Oh, that the Merkuvah literature were not for the most part fragmentary and corrupted.
Something of what does actually remain is a piece alluding to the Song of Songs, particularily 5.10-15. It is a picture of the beloved and of anything, this remains and is repeated in several different locations throughout:
"My beloved is white and ruddy,
Preeminent above ten thousand.
His head is as the finest gold,
His locks are curled,
And black as a raven.
His eyes are like doves
Beside the water brooks;
Washed with milk
And fitly set.
His cheeks are a bed of spices
As banks of sweet herbs;
His lips are as lillies
Dropping as flowing myrrh.
His hand are as rods of gold
Set with Beryl.
His body is as polished ivory
Overlaid with sapphires.
His legs are as pillars of marble
Set upon sockets of fine gold.
This is my beloved,
And this is my friend,
Oh daughters of Jerusalem.
Actually, it was not until somewhere between the fist and second century that this Song of Songs became to be interpreted as portrayal of God's relationship with Israel. The allusions in this SOng are directly related to God's revelation of Himself in Exodus.
Mannn,
i gotta go
So until whenever next possible for continuation and edit:
God Bless us everyone.
