Re: “Chr*stianity’s concept of “inspiration” pales by comparison. “
I agree with you there.
I’m just curious. How widespread is this view among rabbis today, that ancient Persians are related to Germanic people’s? And, how widespread among rabbis today is this idea that “the very sizes, shapes, crowns, numerical values, and even the names of the letters are loaded with meaning.”?
It is 100% stock-and-trade Orthodox Judaism that Amalek (not necessarily ancient Persians...those who conquered Babylon) develops into, in part, Germany. And that the sizes, shapes, crowns, numerical values, and even names of the letters are loaded with INFINITE meaning and depth. Every Orthodox rabbi believes this.
