Elokim Is Nature In Gematria

Question: You say that Elokim (God) in Gematria (numerology) = HaTeva (Nature). Why is that?

Answer: Elokim and nature are the same thing. All of nature in our world and in the upper world and everything that exists in creation, including us, is called “Elokim,” nature, the Creator.

Therefore, studying nature or studying the Creator is the same thing. It is not necessary to think about the Creator as something limited; it is a force that includes everything within it.
