Mistisisme Merkabah

Mistisisme Merkabah/Merkavah (atau mistisisme kereta perang) adalah sebuah aliran mistisisme Yahudi awal, dari sekitar 100 SM sampai 1000 M, yang terpusat pada penglihatan-penglihatan seperti cerita yang ditemukan dalam Kitab Yehezkiel pasal 1, atau dalam sastra hekhalot ("istana-istana"), mengenai kisah kenaikan ke istana-istana surgawi dan Tahta Allah. Korpus utama dari sastra Merkabah dikomposisikan pada 200-700 M, meskipun rujukan-rujukan terhadap tradisi kereta perang pada masa berikutnya juga ditemukan dalam sastra Chassidei Ashkenaz pada Abad Pertengahan.^[1] Teks utama dalam tradisi tersebut adalah Maaseh Merkabah (Karya-karya Kereta Perang).^[2]
