Visions of the Merkabah Riders: Chariot of Fire

The word mystic to most conservatives or orthodox of any faith many times is troubling. Paganism, witchcraft, black magic, the occult and even Satan worship are often mistakenly associated with mysticism. The fundamentals of Jewish or Judaic mysticism are relatively basic and in many ways mirrors many faiths in existence today. This faith was based on the belief that there is only one God, the Almighty God who is indescribable. However, through creation and through God’s revealed Word, these early believers taught that God could be “known” in a personal way through ten “human like” characteristics or attributes. These devout believers taught that God was knowable and that anyone could develop a personal relationship with him outside of the pious structure of established religion.
