The Manifestation of the Kingdom of God | Elohim, The Four Worlds, The Four Trees of Life, and His Bride
Elohim, the Creator and Sustainer of all life, reveals His Kingdom through the interconnected and mystical realities of the Four Worlds and the Four Trees of Life. These dimensions are not just abstract concepts; they are divine manifestations of Elohim’s sovereignty, righteousness, and purpose. This sacred order is profoundly connected to His bride, the Church — Kehillah, the vessel through which the Kingdom of God (מַלְכוּת הָאֱלֹהִים, Malkut HaElohim) is actualized on earth. As we explore these spiritual mysteries, we also recognize Elohim’s supreme power in His ongoing battle against forces of darkness, a theme deeply resonant with the challenges and spiritual warfare discussed in various sources, including the writings of John Paul Jackson, Sid Roth, and others.
The Four Worlds (עולמות, Olamot) and the Four Trees of Life (עֵץ הַחַיִּים, Etz HaChaim)
The concept of the Four Worlds in Kabbalistic tradition offers a profound understanding of the process through which the divine light of Elohim permeates creation. These worlds, Atzilut, Beriah, Yetzirah, and Assiyah, correspond to the different stages of divine emanation, each representing a unique aspect of the divine flow. This mystical journey from the infinite light to the physical realm is mirrored in the Four Trees of Life, which embody the various facets of divine revelation and life.
1. Atzilut (אֲצִילוּת) — The World of Emanation: Atzilut is where Elohim’s purest essence resides. It is the realm closest to the divine, where the light of Ein Sof (אֵין סוֹף, the Infinite) emanates in its most unfiltered form. This world corresponds to the Tree of Life’s Keter (כֶּתֶר, Crown), symbolizing the divine will and purpose, much like the pure potential energy Tesla explored in his works.
2. Beriah (בְּרִיאָה) — The World of Creation: In Beriah, the divine blueprint of creation is formed. This world represents the intellectual aspect of creation, corresponding to the Sefirah of Binah (בִּינָה, Understanding). It is here that the foundational structures of the universe are conceived, akin to the profound mysteries explored in alchemical texts and the divine transmissions discussed by Danielle Rama Hoffman.
3. Yetzirah (יְצִירָה) — The World of Formation: Yetzirah is where the spiritual forms begin to take shape, reflecting Elohim’s harmonious and aesthetic balance. This world corresponds to the Sefirah of Tiferet (תִּפְאֶרֶת, Beauty), representing the emotional and spiritual dimensions of creation. The beauty and intricacy of this world are reminiscent of the symbiotic relationship between the divine and the material, as discussed in Shakespeare’s works and in mysticism.
4. Assiyah (עֲשִׂיָּה) — The World of Action: Assiyah is the physical realm where Elohim’s divine plan is fully manifested. This world is linked with Malkut (מַלְכוּת, Kingdom), symbolizing the realization of divine sovereignty on earth. The interconnectedness of Assiyah with the other worlds is echoed in the human experience and potential, as explored in the works of John Houston and the metaphysical understanding of human energy by Tesla.
Each of the Four Trees of Life within these worlds represents the unfolding of divine will, from the highest spiritual concepts to their ultimate manifestation in the physical world. These Trees are the conduits through which divine life flows, symbolizing the stages of spiritual growth and realization in believers, much like the soul’s journey described in “The Council of Light” and the unification of God’s children in “The Incomplete Church.”
The Bride of Elohim: The Church (Kehillah)
The Church, Kehillah, as the Bride of Mashiach (מָשִׁיחַ), plays a pivotal role in the manifestation of the Kingdom of God. As discussed in Sid Roth’s work, the Church is not complete until it fully embraces its Jewish roots, unifying both Jews and Gentiles under one Messiah. This unity is essential for the Church to fully embody Elohim’s Kingdom on earth, fulfilling the prophecies and the divine order as intended.
The Church, empowered by the Ruach HaKodesh (רוּחַ הַקֹּדֶשׁ, Holy Spirit), is called to bring the divine will into every aspect of life, establishing justice, righteousness, and peace. This mission aligns with the purpose-driven life described by Rick Warren, where every believer is a vital part of the larger divine plan. The bridal imagery in Revelation 19:7 highlights this sacred union: “Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory! For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready.”
Elohim’s Supremacy and the Spiritual Battle
Elohim’s sovereignty extends beyond the physical realm into the spiritual domains, where He engages in an ongoing battle against the forces of darkness. This struggle is not merely symbolic; it is a reality faced by believers daily, as described in “Needless Casualties of War” by John Paul Jackson. The spiritual warfare waged by Elohim against witches, warlocks, and other agents of darkness is a theme that resonates throughout Scripture, with Ephesians 6:12 reminding us that our struggle is “not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.”
The victory of Elohim over Lucifer (הֵילֵל, Hillel) is assured, as depicted in the apocalyptic visions of the Book of Revelation (12:7–9). This ultimate triumph is a testament to Elohim’s unmatched power and authority, ensuring that His Kingdom will be established in its fullness. The significance of this victory extends beyond spiritual realms, impacting the physical world as believers, through the Church, participate in this cosmic battle, guided by the principles found in the Scriptures and the wisdom of the ages.
Conclusion
The manifestation of the Kingdom of God through the Four Worlds and the Four Trees of Life reveals the depth and complexity of Elohim’s divine plan. The Church, as the Bride of Mashiach, is central to this plan, tasked with bringing the Kingdom to earth. The ongoing spiritual battle, where Elohim Himself fights against the forces of darkness, underscores the importance of faith, unity, and righteousness. In the end, Elohim’s victory is assured, and His Kingdom will be established on earth as it is in heaven, fulfilling the divine purpose and bringing to fruition the ultimate reconciliation of all creation.
