The Revelation of John is an enigmatic, mystically obscure text. It was originally written in
Aramaic, though many translations are made from the Greek version. The Revelation of John
presents a specialized form of the “Tree of the Treasuries of the House of Elohim.” This Working
Path is intended to take true disciples of Master Yeshuvah to the “New Jerusalem” in the crown
center via seven series of seven experiences alluded to in the forty-nine images presented in the
text (see Figure 0.1). This reflects the fact that the Tree has a total of seven Sefiroth which span
the four qabalistic worlds, and also that each of those seven Sefirah is itself a complete Tree of
seven Sefiroth extending through all four worlds. The forty-nine allusions represent seven
repetitions of the seven Sefiroth acting upon one another. To more easily understand this, imagine
that each of the seven Sefiroth has a test tube containing a differently colored liquid. Then,
imagine successively pouring some of the colored liquid from each one into the six others,
resulting in a total of forty-nine different colors. The Revelation Tree has a different set of names
for the Sefiroth than the Tree of the Treasuries of Elohim shown in Figure 4.5 on page 120. Most
interpreters of the Revelation see all the action described as occurring in the physical plane.
However, the events described in the Revelation occur on multiple planes. Only the allusions
involving the Seven Churches exist in the lowest Sefirah Victory, representing the physical plane.
The forty-nine allusions in their qabalistic format as a Tree of Life are presented below.
