description
Shomerei Hamashal’s interpretation of the meaning of life is rooted in the Hebrew text of the 1st 6 books of the Bible. For Jews these are the books of Moses and the book of Joshua. For Christians they are the 1st 6 books of the current version of the bible. The 1st 6 books of the bible – from Genesis to Joshua – is an integrated and structured work of written words in Hebrew characters A philosophical flaw made throughout history is for humans to try to tell God’s story from their own point of view God’s story about Himself is told in a particular way by Him In this brief video we’ll explain how He tells His own story through humans It’s the story of how the cosmos is made and what its intended purpose is This is the New American Standard Bible version of the very 1st verse of the books of Moses This is the meaning of everything The word ‘God’ is more accurately remembered as the Hebrew word Elohim It is a plural word Genesis chapter 1 verse 2 through to the first half of Genesis chapter 2 verse 4 explains how Elohim make a model of their creative work at other times and in other places They make the sky and give it a name: ‘heavens’ The heavens can be sensed and experienced by humans so that they can understand what Elohim have done in other parts of the cosmos at other times and other places It is not a conventional scientific or religious experience Read more at http://www.hamashal.org/the-meaning-of-everything/
