Ultimate Reality

God revealed the answer to what is ultimate reality? to the Jews. The answer was Himself. The answer was God. The Jews did not deduce this fact but it was communicated to them by God. It is impossible for man alone to have discovered this fact. Man did not discover this fact like it discovered the law of gravity, or E=MC squared but man was told the nature of reality. We were told by God because there was no other way we would have found out this fact. It is a fact beyond our bounds to discover. God revealed to man something that is sacred and profound. So profound it goes to the heart of reality. God revealed his name. A name is sacred. It is a person’s symbol. The most sacred word to be known by man is God’s name. It was given to Moses at the burning bush. God’s name is “I AM” (JHWH). Ultimate reality is a person, an “I”. Personhood lies at the center of reality. God is unique; there is only one god; he is sole one “I”. God is irreducible. He has no limits; He is infinite; He is “I AM”. He is infinite living present, not bounded by time or space. He has no beginning and no end. The final truth of what is real, the answer to the questions “What is?” “What is that outside my being?” “What is really real?” is God. God is Ultimate reality. We know this because God revealed it to his Chosen people, the Jews. God is ultimate reality because he is ultimately real, the source of everything. All existence flows from God. God is creator. He creates. No other then God Creates. All creation exists because God makes it exist. God is the subject. Creation is a verb. It means more then the elements, laws and structures of creation. Its means to make existence itself. God also revealed why he enacts creation. The reason is his divine Character and Will. The character of Ultimate Reality is infinite truth, justice, love, holiness and goodness. God is a person with a personality. We who were created with the image reflect God is this way; we are also persons with a personality.
