No, it's very different from that. The Torah was written before the world was created and in fact is the very blueprint of creation. Everything in it has a meaning: the letters, the spaces between the letters, the sizes and shapes of the letters, the names of the letters, the numerical values of the letters, etc. There is absolutely no way whatsoever to translate any of these things.

The unfolding of history is merely the unfolding of the Torah. Plus the coded references to future events and to the details of the life of every individual exist only in the original Hebrew. Once again, these cannot be translated.

G-d spoke the world into existence with the Torah. Everything is literally made up of the Hebrew alphabet.

Please note that while I am the number one defender of total Biblical inerrancy on this forum that I do not (as foolish Catholics assume) therefore believe that the only sense possessed by the Bible is the simple surface sense. Catholics seem incapable of understanding that to believe in senses beyond the surface does not turn the surface into mythology any more than total Biblical inerrancy implies "sola scriptura" (another mistake most Catholics make and one reason they feel compelled to turn the scriptures into mythology).

I don't believe you got that idea from the Torah. Undoubtedly you are some kind of Jewish Mystic.

Apparently you were able to translate that idea from the letters and the spaces between the letters into some idea in your head. You mind giving us all some insight into your mystical abilities?
