== The tenth ==


Another word that is similar to [[omer]] is the word for ''[[tithe]]''<Ref>{{06237}}</Ref> and ''tenth''.

The [[Hebrew]] word ‘eser contains the letters AyinShinReish ^רשׂע^.<Ref>{{06235}}</Ref> Instead of the letter Mem that we see in ''[[Omer]]'' we see the letter [[Shin]]. The Hebrew letter  ש Shin represents the "Eternal Flame of Revelation, bound to the coal of righteousness, the Divine Essence." It is the ''rock'' of individual revelation upon which Christ will build His Church.

When God is writing upon your heart and mind the Divine Spark of revelation will produce the flow, the Omer, within you. You will be the ''candle'' of the Lord practicing [[Pure Religion]], rejecting the [[covetous practices]] of the [[Benefactors]] of the [[world]] and the [[wages of unrighteousness]] offered to the people by the ''[[Fathers]] of the earth''.
