foundational principles of divine machinery
bereshit understands creation as an ongoing act of divine speech. the universe is not a static object, but a continually sustained process whose underlying structure reflects the nature of hashem.
the following principles form the foundation of this theological framework.
existence is not merely initiated by divine utterance; it is continually maintained through it.
creation contains an ordered structure through which divine intention is expressed.
torah does not reveal the entirety of divine architecture, but provides humanity with a comprehensible glimpse of it.
through mitzvot, humanity participates in the ongoing care and repair of the world.
prophets are granted temporary access to the deeper workings of creation and communicate what they perceive.
