Heikhal
The Meaning Behind the Music
Heikhal is the Hebrew word for temple.
I have used a mode for this piece that is reflective of Middle
Eastern music.
The temple is the most sacred place on earth. There, the most sacred and divine ordinances are performed. It is, quite literally, a bridge between heaven and earth. Is it any wonder then that it is referred to as a place of revelation? I suppose the veil is thinner there than anywhere else on earth.
Anciently, mountains acted as temples. Sinai acted as the temple for Moses. Then, when the Lord felt that the children of Israel were ready for more, He had them build the Tabernacle.
Once they reached the promised land, He had them build the Temple. We often label it the temple of Solomon, but really it was the Temple of God.
Now temples cover the world. But each is The House of God. The power and influence of each building is not diluted by the increasing number of temples – rather, with every new temple, the power of God is increased in the world. That power and influence increases exponentially with each new temple.
So how can we help that power increase? Attend the temple. Attend often, even regularly. Whatever your circumstance, you can make more time for the temple. As all of us attend the Temple more often, the need for more temples will increase, and the power of God will increase.
Even on a more personal level, as you attend the temple, you will see the power of God increase in your life. You will be happier, and your life more fulfilling. It’s that simple. I promise.
