A
ROUND EARTH
The major book of Kabbalah, the Zohar, revealed that the
earth was spherical, like a round ball, at a time when science
was certain the world was flat.
SEVEN
CONTINENTS
In the time of Columbus, scientists thought only two continents
existed. 20 centuries earlier the Zohar said:
"There exists seven geographical continents. But it
is not yet known to those who mark out geographical boundaries".
- THE ZOHAR
TIMELESSNESS
Second century Kabbalists said true reality was a realm
without time, space, and motion. And time was relative to
the observer and to other forces in the universe. Albert
Einstein and modern day physics confirmed these ancient
insights.
THE
DEATH OF DEATH
Sixteenth-century Kabbalists said that the secrets of immortality
would become known near the year 2000. In 1998, scientists
made headlines in The New York Times when they created human
cells that were immortal, an idea considered taboo by the
science community just a few short years ago.
HEART
DISEASE
2000 years before medical science discovered the relationship
between heart disease, the liver and cholesterol, the Zohar
stated:
"From the liver emerges the bile, from which come bitter
drops to kill human beings... Bile overcomes the arteries
of the heart and all the arteries in the limbs of the body..."
Medical-science now tells us that bile's primary component
is cholesterol.
GOOD
FATS, BAD FATS
Only recently did science identify two kinds of cholesterol
and fat, known as the good fats and the bad fats. The Zohar
revealed this medical truth 2000 years earlier:
"In the
body there are pure and impure fatty parts, clean blood
without waste matter and blood contaminated with waste matter..." - THE ZOHAR
