Synopsis "mysteries of the qabalah"

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.

Eliphas Lévi, pseudonym of Alphonse Louis Constant (1810–1875), was a French occultist, writer, and former seminarian, considered a key figure in the revival of Western esotericism in the 19th century. Although he began his life within Catholicism, he left the priesthood to dedicate himself to writing and esoteric philosophy. His most influential work, *Dogma and Ritual of High Magic* (1854–1856), laid the foundations of modern ceremonial magic. He introduced concepts such as Baphomet and popularized the idea of the “magician” as a spiritual sage. He influenced later occultists like Aleister Crowley and orders like the Golden Dawn. His thought merges Christian symbolism, Kabbalah, alchemy, and astrology.
