<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Lévi 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. Includes Lévi's illuminating commentary on Ezekiel. He explains how the description of Solomon's temple, the great sanctuary of the true God, represents the Qabalistic or traditional theology of the Hebrew seven the measurements are symbolic and refer to sacred numbers.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>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.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Alphonse Louis Constant, better know by his pen name <b>Eliphas Levi</b>, was a master of the traditional Rosicrucian interpretation of the Kabbalah. He was born in France in 1810, and through the offices of the parish priest, was educated for the church at SaintSulpice. He was later expelled from seminary for teaching doctrines contrary to those of the Roman Catholic Church. In 1824 Levi began studying the occult sciences, and wrote about magic and the Kabbalah for the next three decades. His other books include <i>Transcendental Magic, Mysteries of the Qabalah</i>, and <i>The Book of Splendours.</i>
