It is useful for Christians to study the Tree (of Life) as an aid to understanding the Bible, new as well as old testament.
Tepheret or Tipereth symbolizes the place of Jesus. It reflects what is up at the top which cannot be described. It is hard enough to classify Jesus, let alone His Father.
The Lord's Prayer fits the Tree.
The added ending is also related: "Thine be the kingdom, the power and the glory forever and ever. Amen." These words and motions makes the Kabbalistic Cross on The Tree connecting the sepherots top of the head (Kether for Thine), the feet (Malcuth or Malkuth where we live), Gaborah (protection-shoulder), Chessed or Gadula (liberality- shoulder), the center being the Christ center (the balancing Tipereth) then the arms out into the cross (forever) crossing arms (Amen) the end of a ritual called the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram.
See Psalms 119 for the 22 Hebrews letters and the paths.
The Ten Commandments (Please, please! Call them the ten REGULATIONS) correlate to the 10 sepherah on The Tree. [For the brave or humorous, Harold has a rant about the ten commandments]
