Introduction: What is a Prophetic
Journey?
Let me introduce you to
ancient Hebraic concepts of
a "prophetic journey."
The Hebrew words for "path(s)"
is Netivot (נתיבות) or Derekh
(דרך).
The former occurs rarely and
the latter more commonly.
The important difference
between the two words is the
former is a personal path or
route; and the latter is a
public road, path or route
used by all people.
Nativ (נתיב) or Nativot
(נתיבות) (plural) is
a "path(s)" that is formed
by an individual that only
he or she can identify with.
They may be able to relate
this path to others who walk
in both Spirit and Truth and
understand the deeper
concepts of the Torah at the
levels of Drash and Sod.
It is a hidden path that one
discovers on his own; or
better put, a journey through
life which may be a
prophetic one. In the
proper framework of the
Torah, it is a path blazed
by the individual when
submitted to the Ruach
HaKodesh (Holy Spirit).
Ancient Rabbis identified
the second path as a
mystical one; known as
Peliyot (פליאות) in Hebrew.
Peliyot (פליאות) has as its
root, the word Pala (פלא).
Pala (פלא) has a
connotation of being
hidden, concealed or
transcendental. I
liken this to principles and
themes at the Drash and
Sod level of scripture that
weave together with a
person's personal walk with
E-l-ohim (God). In
light of the Tenach and
B'rit Chadasha, you call
this the "leading of the
Ruach HaKodesh (Holy
Spirit)."
The word Peleh (פלא) is
closely related to Pala
(פלא)
and is defined as a
miracle; notice the same
Hebrew letters spell the two
words.
Therefore, when we walk with
Y-H-V-H according to the
leading of the Ruach
HaKodesh, we can experience
many incidents in life that
occur in the realm of
coinciding events that
cannot take place by chance.
The events interweave
with each other in such a
way that we recognize
they are improbable and
a hidden force is involved
in orchestrating the events.
In the framework of the
Torah, we know this is Y-a-huah
E-l-ohim (The LORD God); the
E-l-ohim of Avraham, Yitzhak
and Yaacov.
