136. The Difference between the First Letters and the Last Letters
I heard on Purim, 1947
The difference between the first letters and the last letters is only in the written synopsis, meaning the content of the writing that was given by the King’s house. And the King’s authors elaborate on the content to make it understandable for all.
The content was simply “that they should be ready for that day,” and the authors interpreted it as applying to the nations, that they are destined to avenge the Jews. And that force was so that Haman would think, “Whom would the king want to honor more than I?” Hence, in the last letters he wrote specifically, straight from the King, “that the Jews should be ready.” Conversely, in the first letters he did not specifically write “the Jews.” This is why they had the strength to complain.
The thing is that this force was given because one should not justify any desire for reception of lights, to extend the upper lights below, as the whole work was to bestow. Hence, he cannot extend something from below. Therefore, by giving strength to Haman, who specifically wants the greater lights, as his name testifies, Haman the Agagite, the Gag [roof] of the degree, which is GAR.
