About this title

Synopsis:

The author, an influential 19th-century occultist, offers an analysis of Biblical texts as essential keys to high Qabalah, the mystical system of Judaism. He links Old and New Testaments by comparing Qabalistic imagary and concepts in The Ezekial Prophecy and The Apocalypse of St John.

From the Back Cover:

The Mysteries of the Qabalah completes the second book in a trilogy written by the famous French esoteric scholar, Eliphas Levi. In the first part of this work, Levi links the Old and New Testaments by comparing the qabalistic imagery and concepts inherent in both "The Prophecy of Ezekiel" and "The Apocalypse of St. John". He explains how the description of Solomon's temple, the great sanctuary of the true God, represents the Qabalistic or traditional theology of the Hebrews -- even the measurements are symbolic and refer to sacred numbers. In the second part of the treatise, Levi demonstrates that "The Apocalypse of St. John" is a symbolic resume of knowledge for initiates and a key to the high Qabalah. The theology of the Hebrews can be attached to Christianity through the prophecy of Ezekiel. It served as a model for "The Apocalypse of St. John", which -- behind the emblems of the Qabalah -- hides the most profound secrets of Christian theology. Students of the Western Mystery tradition will find this material of special interest when exploring the symbolism of the Bible and Qabalah.
