"In beginning was the WORD and the WORD was with GOD and the WORD He was GOD."
What is the "WORD"?
WORD in Hebrew is דבר and it has the value of 26.The WORD is יהוה and it has the value of 26.The WORD first appears in beginning (Genesis) --with-- ELOHIM after the day of rest.
The WORD is GOD in the flesh and the 26th verse of Genesis. The image of GOD.
Adam and Eve are not created until after the day of rest and the "male and female" in Genesis 1:27 is talking about the creatures and so forth that GOD just created.
The WORD rested on the 7th day because He (the WORD) became flesh. A glorified body.ELOHIM has the value of 52 (ordinal) and the WORD is half that because the FATHER and SON are ONE.The LORD sits (with) at the right hand of GOD. יהוה אלהים
Want more proof?
Genesis 2:1, GOD declared His creation was COMPLETED.
Genesis 2:4, we are now reading about the GENERATIONS.GOD created the all the seeds in Genesis 1 but in Genesis 2 the seeds are there but no water for the soil yet.
You see, Genesis 2 is not a recap of Adam and Eve from Genesis 1.
Adam in Hebrew just means "man." You just have to figure out which "man" He is talking about.
Another great question! To be honest, I'm still up in the air on this one, as the Bible sometimes seems to elude to reincarnation, but never outright teaches it. I can only refer to the scripture about this and I'm not entirely sold by the Jewish belief of reincarnation. I know for a fact that although it isn't talked about much, many Jewish rabbi's teach reincarnation - this seems to have been influenced by Rabbi Isaac Luria, who seems to have been obsessed with this subject. There are a few verses that have caught my attention - the main one that comes to mind is John - Chapter 9. "As he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth. And his disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” - John 9:1-2
*What's interesting about this is that the text starts off by specifically stating that this man was "blind from birth" - then his disciples ask their rabbi (Yeshua) if his blindness was caused by his parents sin or his own sin. So, if the man was blind from birth, the only way his blindness could have been possibly been caused from his own sin is if he had sinned in a previous incarnation. This would lead one to believe that maybe Yeshua maybe taught his students this doctrine, or they at least spoke about it to some extent; after all, he was a Jewish Rabbi...if not, then why would they have asked this question. It's very blurry and is always overlooked by traditional Christianity. We're all familiar with Psalm 23 - but why does the text state "He leads me in paths of righteousness", why is it paths; instead of just path? This also eludes to more than one single incarnation of one's soul, if not, it should read as path (and not paths).
There are other verses scattered about, but I'm not at the point where I think that I should take this stance. I believe that regardless of if our soul incarnates many times, when judgement day comes, we will stand judgement regardless. So basically, this idea about reincarnation doesn't change anything for me, as I can only control what I do in this existence.
I consider Kabbalah to be Jewish Metaphysics and is the highest level of science. In Hebrew, the word Kabbalah means "to receive" and the whole purpose of it is establish a closer relationship with G*d. It's the most effective method to help us identify our own selfish ego and to our diminished human nature, thus receiving more Light from Our Creator. Unfortunately, Kabbalah has been given a bad name by people who twist it's purity and use it teachings to serve the "Sitra Achra", or the side of impurity. They basically take the pure teachings and flip them upside down to make them impure. Yeshua taught his disciples a lot of these Kabbalistic ideas and St. John The Divine was a master of it. Understanding these deeper levels of biblical interpretation truly brings us closer to G*d, that much I know for a fact, as I'm living proof of it. There is a whole discipline of Christian Kabbalah (sometimes called Christian Mysticism) which deals with the basic ideas, they just change some of the names to terminology, it is the same foundation. To give you an example of how this would relate, the top three Sefirot - Keter, Chochmah and Binah (Crown, Wisdom and Understanding) can also be viewed as The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit. These three remain at the top and are the source of all the Light in the entire universe.
I hope that I explained this okay, that's a very deep question and I could go on and on about it. Just know that the study of Pure Kabbalah awakens our conscious and truly brings us closer to Yeshua. It illuminates us in ways I never dreamed possible, and has completely changed my life altogether.
Thank you so very much for reaching out with that question, I pray that the content that I've shared on this blog will enlighten you, just as it has me.

Thank you for the answer. One more question. How does concept of reincarnation in Kabbalah correspond with Christianity?
