What does "Gideon" mean?
In christian theology, Gideon is one of the types (τύπος), a symbolic prefiguration, of Christ. He represents Jesus arriving in humility and still being chosen. This also reflects the jews, or at least, the way they see themselves, "humble in being blessed".
The Angel appears to Gideon under the oak at Ophrah, and fire consumes Gideon’s offering (Judges 6:19–21).
Patristic interpreters see this as a theophany: the "Angel of Yahweh" is identified with the pre-incarnate God the Son. The fire consuming the offering foreshadows the divine fire of the eucharist and christ’s self-offering.
Gideon asks for a sign: first, the fleece is wet with dew while the ground is dry, then the ground is wet while the fleece is dry (Judges 6:36–40).
In Orthodox hymnography (especially in the Feast of the Annunciation and the Akathist Hymn to the Theotokos), the fleece is interpreted as a type of Mary.
The fleece full of heavenly dew while the ground remains dry symbolizes the virgin receiving the Word, while the world was barren of it.
Conversely, when the ground is wet and the fleece dry, it symbolizes "grace" (the Tikkun Olam) poured from her into the world.
Kabbalistically, Gideon calls himself “the least in my father’s house” (Judges 6:15). In Kabbalah, Malkut (the lowest sefirah, meaning kingdom) is the place of emptiness and dependence on their god, without self-light.
The Angel of the Lord accepts Gideon’s offering with fire (Judges 6:19–21), which represents the sefirah of Tiferet attaching to Malkut.
The fleece absorbs dew while the ground is dry = the vessel is chosen to receive Shefa (grace, acceptance into the god of israel), a symbol of the receptive sefirah Yesod.
Reversal of the sign (ground wet, fleece dry) shows the vessel now propagating the Shefa outwardly (Tikkun Olam). In kabbalah, this is the dynamic between the tzaddik (the obedient kabbalist, stolen from Sadak, one who practices Sadhana) and the community.
Gideon's name (Gid-on) boils down kabbalistically into:
ג (Gimel) - the camel, carrying, giving. Gideon (the jewish kabbalist) is a hard worker and a slave to the plan.
ד (Dalet) - door, opening, to receive. Gimel runs towards dalet because the rich "righteous" jew humbles himself for the poor of his tribe.
ע (Ayin) - eye, seeing, perception. The god of Israel allows this righteous practitioner to receive energy and duties for the Tikkun.
ו (Vav) - hook, connection, joining. The practitioner becomes linked with the jewish vortex, dependent on their parasitic system.
ן (Nun) - fish, continuity of life, seed. Gideon, or the practitioner, sets the steps in motion for the plan to be continued.
This is a type / foreshadow of the created thoughtform of Jesus, as Gideon reflects the steps needed to "perfect" the jewish journey, one of harmonizing with the hivemind and becoming tethered to their systems.
Nobody should be using this AI, as it points directly to a curse.
