#96 - Mystical Judaism and the Trinity - Transfiguration (pt. 4) - a podcast by Fig Tree Ministries

In today's video, we explore the Transfiguration through the lens of Mystical Judaism.

A concept prevalent in first-century Judaism concerned the existence of a"Heavenly Man"- or, as in Mystical Judaism, the Adam Kadmon - the Original Adam.

Humanity is made in the image of God, yet God has no image. The"Heavenly Man"solves this paradox."Join us as we connect Paul's use of the term"Heavenly Man"in 1 Corinthians and other second temple period writings to a deeper understanding of Jesus and the Transfiguration.
