Yang Lanjut Usianya: Perbedaan antara revisi

[[Zohar]], dokumen cikal bakal [[Kabbalah|Kabalah]] yang muncul pada abad ke-13 di Spanyol, menyebut-nyebut tentang Sang Purba Segala Purba, dan Sang Purba Mahakudus (Atika Kadisya), yang ditafsirkan sebagai sebutan-sebutan lain bagi [[EnEin Sof]], [[Keallahan (Yahudi)|Keallahan]] yang tak termanifestasikan. Yang Lanjut Usianya adalah manifestasi dari Sang Purba Segala Purba di dalam jagat ciptaan, mengacu kepada sumber primer (sumber purba) penciptaan di dalam ''[[keter]]'' (mercu) kehendak ilahi.<!--

In 16th-century [[Lurianic Kabbalah]], ''Atik Yomin'' is systemised as the uppermost ''[[Partzuf]]'' (Divine "Countenance/Configuration") in the rectification of the [[Four Worlds|World]] of [[Atzilut]] ("Emanation") after the "[[Tohu and Tikun|Shattering of the sephirot Vessels]]". Keter of Atzilut acts as the guiding Divine motivation in creation, developing into two ''partzufim'', ''Atik Yomin'' (Ancient of Days) and ''[[Arich Anpin]]'' ("Long Visage/Infinitely Patient One"). ''Atik Yomin'' is the inner ''partzuf'' of Keter, synonymous with Divine Delight, that enclothes within and motivates ''Arich Anpin'', the outer ''partzuf'' of Keter, synonymous with Divine Will. ''Arich Anpin'' is said to extend down all levels of Creation in ever more concealed mode as the divine substratum of everything. The Zohar goes into great detail describing the White Head of God and ultimately the emanation of its [[Anthropomorphism in Kabbalah|anthropomorphic personality or attributes]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sfu.ca/~hayward/van/glossary/ancient.html |title=Glossary entry for Ancient of Days |access-date=2007-07-02 |url-status=bot: unknown |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070702115508/http://www.sfu.ca/~hayward/van/glossary/ancient.html |archive-date=2007-07-02 }}</ref> In the [[Seder Hishtalshelut|descending realms]] explained by Luria, the ''Gulgalta'' ("Skull"-[[Keter]] Will) within ''Arich Anpin'' enclothes the [[Chesed]] (Kindness) of ''Atik Yomin'', becoming the origin of the lights of the world of ''[[Atzilut]]''; the ''Mocha Stima'ah'' ("Concealed Brain"-[[Chokhmah (Kabbalah)|Chokhmah]] Wisdom) within ''Arich Anpin'' enclothes the ''[[Gevurah]]'' (Severity) of ''Atik Yomin'', becoming the origin of the vessels of the world of ''Atzilut''.<ref>[http://www.inner.org/worlds/mocha.htm] Recification in Keter of Atzilut from inner.org</ref> The ''Dikna'' ("Beard") of ''Arich Anpin'' [[Tzimtzum|constricts]] the infinite light originating from ''Atik Yomin'' in [[Thirteen Attributes of Mercy|13 channels]] of [[Tohu and Tikun|rectification]] to lower, relatively finite reality.<ref>[http://www.inner.org/worlds/dikna.htm] Rectification in Keter of Atzilut from inner.org</ref> The [[Merkabah mysticism|Merkabah]] text Re’ uyot Yehezkel identifies the Ancient of Days as [[Metatron]].<ref name ="Nathaniel">{{cite book |url = https://books.google.com/books?id=yhfMea8gTu4C&q=Daniel+&pg=PA34 | title = Guardians of the Gate: Angelic Vice-regency in the Late Antiquity |pages=45–47 |author= Nathaniel Deutsch | publisher =BRILL| year = 1999| isbn = 9004109099 | access-date = 5 March 2014}}</ref>-->

The images in these manuscripts included the inscription "Jesus Christ, Ancient of Days," confirming that this was a way to identify Christ as pre-eternal with the God the Father.<ref>The manuscripts that include an image of the Ancient of Days are discussed in the unpublished dissertation by Gretchen Kreahling McKay, "Imaging the Divine: A Study of the Representations of the Ancient of Days in Byzantine Manuscripts," University of Virginia, 1997.</ref> Indeed, later, it was declared by the [[Russian Orthodox Church]] at the [[Stoglavy Sobor|Great Synod of Moscow]] in 1667 that the Ancient of Days was the Son and not the Father.<ref>The Tome of the Great Council of Moscow (1666-1667 A.D.), Ch. 2, 43-45; tr.

InDi Gereja Barat, the Western Church similar figures usually represent only God the Father. [[Thomas Aquinas]], for example, identifies the Ancient of Days with God, quoting [[Hilary of Poitiers]]' comment that "eternity is in the Father".<ref>Summa Theologica III.59.1 obj 2, ad 2</ref>

Among ancient Christian [[pseudepigrapha]], the [[Book of Enoch]] states that he who is called "Son of man," who existed before the worlds were, is seen by Enoch in company with the "Ancient of Days".<ref>{{cite web|title=Book of Enoch|url=http://www.ccel.org/ccel/deane/pseudepig.iv.html|work=Pseudepigrapha: An Account of Certain Apocryphal Sacred Writings of the Jews and Early Christians|publisher=Christian Classics Etherial Library|access-date=2 July 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=The Book of Enoch, Chapter XLVI |url=https://www.sacred-texts.com/bib/boe/boe049.htm |publisher=Sacred Texts.com |accessdate=10 May 2021}}</ref>-->
