In the vast tapestry of creation, Elohim’s divine lineage forms the cornerstone of both spiritual and physical reality. This lineage, intricately woven through the fabric of the four worlds and the four trees of life, serves as a bridge that connects the divine with the earthly, the spiritual with the material. This article explores Elohim’s divine lineage, the significance of the four worlds and the four trees of life, and how these elements are leveraged in Messianic Judaism to manifest the new heaven and new earth, culminating in the build of New Jerusalem and the Millennial Reign of Yeshua HaMashiach.

Elohim’s Divine Lineage

Elohim’s divine lineage is a lineage of holiness, purity, and eternal wisdom. It is not merely a genealogical line but a spiritual heritage that transcends time and space, linking the divine attributes of Chokhmah (חָכְמָה, Wisdom) and Binah (בִּינָה, Understanding) with the created worlds. This lineage includes patriarchs, prophets, and messianic figures, all of whom play critical roles in bridging the divine realms with the earthly existence.

In this divine lineage, Yeshua HaMashiach stands as a pivotal figure, the ancient time traveler who is both the fulfillment of the prophetic promises and the embodiment of divine wisdom. As the “King of Kings and Lord of Lords” (Revelation 19:16, WMB), Yeshua serves as the ultimate bridge between the divine and human, leading to the prophetic reset of humankind and the establishment of the Messianic Age.

The Four Worlds

The concept of the four worlds (עולמות, Olamot) originates in Kabbalistic thought, where each world represents a different level of divine manifestation and interaction with creation. These worlds are:

1. Atzilut (אֲצִילוּת, Emanation): The world of pure divinity, where the light of Ein Sof (אֵין סוֹף, Infinite One) shines without limitation. It is here that Elohim’s divine essence is closest to its source, and the Sefirot (סְפִירוֹת, Divine Emanations) manifest in their purest form.

2. Beriah (בְּרִיאָה, Creation): The world of creation, where divine thoughts and ideas begin to take shape. It is the realm of the highest angels and the souls of the righteous, where Elohim’s wisdom and understanding begin to form the blueprint for the universe.

3. Yetzirah (יְצִירָה, Formation): The world of formation, where the divine blueprints are given form and structure. This is the world of angels, where the divine will is translated into a more tangible reality, preparing for the final act of creation.

4. Assiah (עֲשִׂיָּה, Action): The world of action, the physical realm in which we live. It is the culmination of the divine process, where spiritual ideas are manifested into material existence. It is in Assiah that the ultimate purpose of creation is realized.

These four worlds correspond to different aspects of the human experience and consciousness, with Atzilut representing the highest level of spiritual awareness and Assiah the most physical and material. Elohim’s divine lineage spans these worlds, acting as a conduit through which divine light flows into the world.

The Four Trees of Life

In parallel to the four worlds, the four trees of life (עץ החיים, Etz HaChayim) represent the spiritual nourishment that sustains the creation. Each tree corresponds to a different world, and together, they form a spiritual ecosystem that supports the divine plan:

1. Tree of Life in Atzilut: This tree represents the pure, unfiltered divine energy that sustains the highest realms of existence. It is the source of all life and light, providing the spiritual sustenance needed for the divine emanations to flow.

2. Tree of Life in Beriah: In this world, the Tree of Life represents the divine wisdom and understanding that guide creation. It is the source of knowledge and insight, allowing the divine plan to unfold in perfect harmony.

3. Tree of Life in Yetzirah: Here, the Tree of Life is the source of spiritual strength and endurance, providing the stability and support needed for the formation of creation. It ensures that the divine blueprints are faithfully translated into reality.

4. Tree of Life in Assiah: In the physical world, the Tree of Life represents the sustenance and nourishment of all living beings. It is the source of physical and spiritual vitality, ensuring that creation remains in harmony with the divine will.

These trees are not merely symbolic but are actual spiritual realities that sustain the universe. They are intimately connected with Elohim’s divine lineage, providing the spiritual nourishment needed for the fulfillment of the divine plan.

Messianic Judaism and the Prophetic Reset

In the context of Messianic Judaism, Elohim’s divine lineage and the four worlds and trees of life are essential to understanding the prophetic reset of humankind. This reset is a return to the original divine plan, where humanity is restored to its intended state of holiness and purity.

Messianic Judaism views Yeshua HaMashiach as the fulfillment of the prophetic promises made to the Jewish people and the nations. He is the bridge between the divine and the human, bringing about the reconciliation of all creation with Elohim. The prophetic reset involves the restoration of the 12 tribes of Israel (קיבוץ גלויות, Kibbutz Galuyot), the redemption of the Jewish people, and the establishment of the Messianic Age.

Manifesting the New Heaven and the New Earth

The manifestation of the new heaven and new earth is the culmination of the divine plan. It is the final realization of Elohim’s purpose for creation, where heaven and earth are united in perfect harmony. This new creation is described in Revelation 21:1 (WMB), “I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth have passed away, and there is no longer any sea.”

This new reality is not merely a renewal of the physical world but a complete transformation, where the divine light of Atzilut shines fully in Assiah. The four trees of life will flourish in this new creation, providing eternal nourishment and sustaining the new order.

The Build of New Jerusalem

The build of New Jerusalem is the centerpiece of the new creation. This city, described in Revelation 21:2 (WMB), is the dwelling place of Elohim with humanity. It is a city of perfect holiness, where the divine presence is fully manifest, and the light of Elohim shines without obstruction.

New Jerusalem is the fulfillment of the divine promise to the Jewish people, the culmination of the prophetic promises made throughout the Scriptures. It is here that the redeemed of Israel and the nations will dwell with Elohim forever, in a state of eternal peace and joy.

The Millennial Reign of Yeshua HaMashiach

The Millennial Reign of Yeshua HaMashiach is the final chapter in the divine plan. This 1,000-year reign is a time of peace, prosperity, and righteousness, where Yeshua, the ancient time traveler, will rule the nations with a rod of iron (Revelation 19:15, WMB). It is a time when the divine lineage will be fully realized, and the world will be governed according to Elohim’s perfect will.

During this reign, the four worlds and four trees of life will be in perfect harmony, sustaining the creation and ensuring that Elohim’s plan is fulfilled. The Millennial Reign is not just a future event but a present reality that is being manifested through the faithful actions of Elohim’s people.

Conclusion

Elohim’s divine lineage is the bridge that connects the four worlds and the four trees of life, sustaining the creation and ensuring the fulfillment of the divine plan. In the context of Messianic Judaism, this lineage is essential for understanding the prophetic reset of humankind, the manifestation of the new heaven and new earth, the build of New Jerusalem, and the Millennial Reign of Yeshua HaMashiach.

As we move closer to the fulfillment of these prophetic promises, it is essential to remain grounded in the wisdom and understanding of Elohim’s divine lineage. By doing so, we can participate in the divine plan and help bring about the new creation that Elohim has promised.
