The Mi•shᵊkân

Revolutionary Epochal-yptic Sapience

The determinant of this revolutionary epoch was Mōsh•ëh's world-changing intellectual and scientific revolution: absolutely abandoning the whole world's idea of coaxing their gods out of "holy mountains"! Mōsh•ëh completely displaced what the entire world "knew" by changing the intellectual and scientific direction 180° — to a non-physical approach to communication with the meta-physical world, in which "holy mountains", and their imagined spirits and gods , were abandoned to rely, instead, on superseding box of hard evidence of reality, Eid•ūt, and Written Justice reflecting the non-physical Creator-Singularity of the universe. The "Mirrored Kᵊrūv•im" atop the box mirrored the "other me" whom ancient people viewed in the "other world" through their copper mirrors. One kᵊrūv symbolized this world while the other kᵊrūv symbolized the "other world" seen in mirrors. The point between them, where their overarching wingtips touched, symbolized the point of communing between the physical world and the non-physical — "mirror world" of the non-physical Creator-Singularity. It is this exact point in space, between the kᵊrūv•im atop the Ka•pōrët, that Mōsh•ëh defined as the point where é‑‑ä communed with him!

From superstitious coaxing of imaginary "gods " out of "holy mountains", Mōsh•ëh represents the point in the history of reorienting mankind 180° to commune directly with the non-physical Creator-Singularity of the universe — é‑‑ä!

Yᵊsha•yahu ha-Nâ•vi: Jewels Of The Living Mi•shᵊkân

Referring to the Mi•qᵊdâsh constructed of stones, c BCE 720 Yᵊsha•yahu wrote:

“When all of áÈÌðÇéÄêÀ are students of é--ä then the peace of áÈÌðÈéÄêÀ will be great.”

The Rabbis (rightly) observed:

"Don't call them áÈÌðÈéÄêÀ, but rather áÌåÉðÈéÄêÀ."

But the rabbis didn't fully grasp the import of Yᵊsha•yahu's previous context:

ôÌåÌêÀ - transparent, medium blue sapphire
ôÌåÌêÀ (blue sapphire)
<kbd>ñÇôÌÄéø</kbd> (Lapis lazuli)

“Look, I will set àÂáÈðÇêÀ in transparent blue-sapphire, and your foundation in opaque blue lapis lazuli, and I will fix all of your sun-disks in rubies, and your gates in deep purplish-red, burgundy garnets and all of your borders in precious gems.”

And here we should note a further instance of the metaphor by Yᵊsha•yahu:

Neither should you call them àÂáÈðÇêÀ, but, rather, áÌåÉðÈéÄêÀ here as well.

The nᵊphâsh•ōt of áÈÌðÈéÄêÀ are the àÂáÈðÇêÀ of the áÌåÉðÈéÄêÀ — of the Beit-ha-Mi•qᵊdâsh, not because they make a career of stonemasonry but because they "build" Yi•sᵊr•â•eil, the Throne and the Footstool of é‑‑ä.

Myriad Of Different Components Required To Complete The Mi•shᵊkân

The myriad of different components required to construct the Mi•shᵊkân parallels the myriad of different nᵊphâsh•ōt required to realize the living Mi•qᵊdâsh— which is Am Yi•sᵊr•â•eil!

This is also symbolized by the gems in the Khōshën Mi•shᵊpât

What component of this living Mi•qᵊdâsh do you will to be?

Perhaps I'm somewhat of a copper tent-peg; a scientist securing the living Mi•qᵊdâsh to terra firma — hard archeological evidence, historical documentation, scientific analyses and logic; i.e. reality, the real world as the Creator-Singularity has made it; as opposed to Dark Ages superstitious mysticism, millennia of Egyptian, Babylonian, (Syrian & Roman) Hellenist assimilation, all capped by more recent European acculturation.

The living Mi•qᵊdâsh also requires nᵊphâsh•ōt to be guy lines from the tent-pegs, keeping the silver fasteners at the top of the acacia pillars secured to reality so that they stand erect and not fall over. Further, the living Mi•qᵊdâsh requires nᵊphâsh•ōt that define Ha•vᵊdâl•âh between the dësh and the khōl!

Optional parental preparation:

  1. What is sapience?

Questions you might anticipate that your child might raise and be prepared to discuss:

  1. What does epic mean? Epochal?

  2. What is a revolution?

  3. What is a suffix?

  4. What is a "guy line" (guy cable, guy rope, guy wire)?
