96) Rabbi Shimon raised his hands and wept. He said, \u201cWoe unto he who will be at that time, and happy is he who will be and can be present at that time.\u201d \u201cWoe unto he who will be at that time\u201d because when the Creator comes to visit the deer, meaning the Shechina, He will look to see who are the ones that are standing with her, He will observe all the deeds of each and every one of those who are with her, and no righteous shall be found. It is written about that, \u201cAnd I looked, and there was none to help.\u201d At that time, many troubles will come over Israel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
97) \u201cHappy is he who will be and will be present at that time.\u201d This is because one who is in faith at that time will be rewarded with that light of the King\u2019s joy. It is written about that time, \u201cAnd [I] will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
98) After these troubles awaken upon Israel, all the nations and their kings will seek counsel together against them. They will awaken several evil sentences, unite against them, and trouble after trouble will come, and the last makes the first forgotten. Then the pillar of fire that stands from above downwards will be seen for forty days and all the nations in the world will see it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
99) At that time, the Messiah King will awaken to come out of the Garden of Eden, from the place called \u201cthe bird\u2019s nest,\u201d and will appear in the land of the Galilee. And on the day when the Messiah goes out there, the whole world will be angered and all the people in the world will hide in caves and in crevices in stones and they will not know how to be saved. It is written about that time, \u201cAnd men shall go into the caves of the rocks, and into the holes of the earth, from before the terror of the Lord, and from the glory of His majesty, when He arises to shake mightily the earth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
100) \u201cBefore the terror of the Lord\u201d is the angering of the whole world. \u201cAnd from the glory of His majesty\u201d is the Messiah. \u201cWhen He arises to shake mightily the earth\u201d is when the Messiah rises and will appear in the land of the Galilee, since this is the first place that was ruined in the Holy Land by Assyria. For this reason, he will appear there before all other places, and from there he will evoke wars upon the entire world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
101) After forty days, when the pillar rises from earth to heaven in the eyes of the whole world and the Messiah has appeared, a star will rise up on the east, blazing in all colors, and seven other stars will surround that star. And they will wage war on it from all sides, three times a day for seventy days, and all the people in the world will see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
102) And that star will make war with them with torches of blazing fire, sparkling in every direction, and it will strike them until it swallows them each evening. And at daytime, it lets them out again, and they make war before the whole world. So it is each day for seventy days. After seventy days, that star will be hidden and the Messiah will be hidden for twelve months, the pillar of fire will return as before, the Messiah will be hidden in it, and that pillar will not be seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
103) After twelve months, the Messiah will be raised inside that pillar into the firmament, where he will receive strength and the crown of kingship. And when he descends to the earth, that pillar of fire will be seen again as before, in the eyes of the whole world. Afterwards, the Messiah will appear and many nations will gather unto him, and he will make wars throughout the world. At that time, the Creator will awaken all the peoples of the world with His might, the Messiah King will be known throughout the world, and all the kings in the world will awaken and unite to wage war against him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
104) Several rulers in Israel will revert and return to the gentiles and will come with them to wage war against the Messiah King. Then, the whole world will darken for fifteen days and many from the people of Israel will die in that darkness. This is why it is written, \u201cFor, behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and thick darkness the peoples.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
105) \u201cIf you come across a bird\u2019s nest on the road, in any tree, or on the earth, with nestlings or eggs, and the mother sitting on the nestlings or on the eggs, you shall not take the mother with the young. You shall let the mother go, but the young you may take for yourself.\u201d This verse is one of the hidden Mitzvot<\/em> [commandments] of the Torah, and contains hidden secrets of the Torah in the thirty-two paths of the Torah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 106) When the Messiah King awakens, several signs and other miracles will awaken in the world. There is a hidden and unknown place in the lower Garden of Eden, which is embroidered with several colors. And a thousand lovely palaces are concealed within it, with no one to enter them but the Messiah, who always stands in the Garden of Eden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 107) The whole garden is surrounded by many Merkavot<\/em> [chariots\/structures] of the righteous and the Messiah stands over them and over several armies and camps of souls of the righteous that are there. In the beginnings of months, on good days, and Sabbaths the Messiah enters that place where a thousand palaces are hidden, to entertain in all those palaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 108) And at the very inside of those thousand coveted palaces is one concealed and hidden place, which is not known at all. It is called, \u201cEden.\u201d No one can attain it, and the Messiah is concealed outside, around that place, until a place called, \u201ca bird\u2019s nest\u201d appears to him. This is a place where the bird that awakens in the Garden of Eden each day declares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are three Hochmot<\/em> [plural of Hochma<\/em>]:<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1. Upper Hochma<\/em> of direct light. This Hochma<\/em> has been concealed since the six days of creation, and is therefore completely unknown and unattainable, even for the Messiah. It is said that there is one, concealed and hidden place that is completely unknown, and it is called \u201cEden.\u201d And there is no one who can attain it and the Messiah is concealed outside, around that place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2. Bina<\/em> that returned and became Hochma<\/em>. All the Mochin<\/em> are extended from this Hochma<\/em>, but there is no attainment in herself, except for the Messiah. It is said about it that there is one place, hidden and concealed, that is not known. It is embroidered with several colors and a thousand lovely palaces are hidden in it, and there is no one to enter them except the Messiah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3. Hochma<\/em> in Malchut<\/em>. Only this Hochma<\/em> is attained by the greatest righteous in the world, and it is only by the inclusion of the three lines in it. The left line in it, which is the root of all the Hochma<\/em> in it, is called \u201cA bird\u2019s nest.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n A bird is the name of the Hochma<\/em> in Malchut<\/em>. A nest is the place from which the Hochma<\/em> appears. It is said about it, \u201cuntil a place called \u2018a bird\u2019s nest\u2019 appears to him. This is a place where the bird that awakens in the Garden of Eden each day declares.\u201d Bestowal of Hochma<\/em> particularly is called a \u201cherald,\u201d and not \u201cspeech\u201d due to the judgments that extend from her. This is so because Hochma<\/em> appears only by a sentence, and when it clothes in Hassadim<\/em>, the Hochma<\/em> appears to the righteous in the Garden of Eden each day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 109) In that place, called \u201ca bird\u2019s nest,\u201d embroidered in the queen\u2019s garment of glory, are the forms of all the peoples that have gathered against Israel to harm them. The Messiah enters that place and raises his eyes. He sees the patriarchs who entered God\u2019s destroyed house until he sees Rachel with a tear on her cheek and the Creator comforting her, but she does not wish to be comforted, as it is written, \u201cShe refuses to be comforted for her children.\u201d Then the Messiah raises his voice and cries, the whole of the Garden of Eden shakes, and all the righteous that are there wail and cry with him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 110) He wailed and cried once more, and the firmament over the garden shook up along with fifteen million camps of high angels until the Messiah reached the high throne. Then the Creator hints to that bird and it enters its nest, sits with the Messiah, declares what it declares, and what awakens, awakens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are two kinds of voices. 1) From the screen of Malchut<\/em> that is unmitigated in Bina<\/em>, as was said, \u201cThe Messiah raises his voice and weeps.\u201d And since he is from the quality of judgment, the whole of the Garden of Eden is shaken, even on the right line in the Garden of Eden. 2) When the screen of Malchut<\/em> is already sweetened in Bina<\/em>, the new Sium<\/em> [ending] of the second restriction, called \u201cfirmament,\u201d comes out. This is the second weeping, as was said, \u201cHe howled and wept a second time.\u201d For this reason, not the whole garden was shaken, but only the left line and the left half of the middle line, called \u201cone thousand five hundred ten thousands.\u201d They are called \u201cone thousand\u201d because they are Hochma<\/em>, and \u201cten thousand\u201d because they are clothed in Hassadim<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And at that time, the Messiah rises to Bina, as was said, \u201cuntil the Messiah arrives at the high throne,\u201d Bina<\/em>. Then the Creator hints to that bird, and she enters her nest, meaning the Creator extends to her illumination of Hochma<\/em>. It is discerned that the bird, the Mochin<\/em> of Hochma<\/em>, returns to her nest and sits with the Messiah, to bestow upon him Hochma<\/em>. And then she declares what it declares, to extend the Hochma<\/em> in the voice of Bina<\/em>, and what awakens, awakens, meaning the Mochin<\/em> of Hochma<\/em> awakens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 111) Finally, from within that holy throne, Bina<\/em>, called \u201cthree times,\u201d meaning the three lines one at a time, that bird\u2019s nest and the Messiah all rise up to Bina<\/em>. The Creator swears them to remove the evil kingship from the world through the Messiah, avenge the revenge of Israel, and extend all the good that the Creator will do to His people. And that bird\u2019s nest and the Messiah return to the places and the Messiah is hidden in the bird\u2019s nest as before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thus far, The Book<\/em> of Zohar<\/em> explained the meaning of Messiah at the time of exile. It says that his root is from around Eden, where it was initially concealed. When the worlds and the bird\u2019s nest\u2014Malchut<\/em> in the form of Hochma<\/em> and sentence\u2014were erected, the Messiah was concealed in it. On Sabbaths and on good days, the Messiah rises with the bird\u2019s nest to Bina<\/em> and they receive three lines of Bina<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Henceforth, it begins to clarify the order of appearance of the Messiah when he comes to redeem Israel. This is so because he is unfit to redeem Israel before he draws the GAR<\/em> of GAR<\/em>\u2014called Neshama<\/em>, Haya<\/em>, Yechida<\/em>\u2014that are missing in the bird\u2019s nest and are missing in himself. And because Israel are unworthy of redemption, every time he draws the left line, harsh and bitter judgments are drawn into the world, since there is no such light that is not drawn in three lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now it begins to explain the order of the disclosure of light of Neshama<\/em> from GAR<\/em> of GAR<\/em>. Afterwards, it explains the order of the disclosure of the light of Haya<\/em>, and after that, the order of disclosure of light of Yechida<\/em>. Subsequently, it explains the order of the revelation of the Messiah to the lower ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 112) When the Creator awakens to correct the worlds, the letters of the name will shine in completeness. Yod<\/em>, meaning Hochma<\/em>, will shine in the Hey<\/em>, which is Bina<\/em>. Vav<\/em>, meaning Tifferet<\/em>, will shine in the bottom Hey<\/em>, which is Malchut<\/em>. Then the Yod<\/em>–Hey<\/em> will be in one wholeness with the Vav<\/em>–Hey<\/em>. In other words, one terrible star will awaken, Tifferet<\/em>, in the screen of Hirik<\/em> in it, in the middle of the firmament, since it is the middle line. \u201cLike crimson,\u201d as it contains all the colors, it also contains all three lines. \u201cBlazing and sparkling in the day,\u201d in light of Hassadim<\/em>, called \u201cday.\u201d \u201cIn the eyes of the whole world\u201d means in the light of Hochma<\/em>, too, which is called \u201ceyes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n 113) \u201cAnd one blaze will rise from the north side, from the left line.\u201d This means that when he draws the Hochma<\/em> from above downwards, his light becomes a blaze of fire. \u201cIn the firmament, and they stand opposite from each other forty days,\u201d since the flame, which is from the left line, separates itself from each of the HB<\/em> TM<\/em> in the middle line. And each of them consists of ten Sefirot<\/em>, thus they are forty. \u201cAnd all the people in the world will startle at the end of the forty days\u201d in the final count, in Malchut<\/em> of Malchut<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe star and the blaze will make war before the eyes of everyone, and the blaze will spread in the burning of fire within the firmament from the north side.\u201d This means that it will spread to extend Hochma<\/em> from the left line in Malchut<\/em> of Malchut<\/em>, too, which has not yet been sweetened with the quality of mercy, from which the middle line, the star, receives the screen for its dot of Hirik<\/em>. It follows that it contemplates swallowing the star altogether, meaning to revoke its screen and to cancel the middle line. And several rulers, kings, nations, and peoples will be startled by the strengthening of the flame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 114) Then a star will rise on the south side, which is the right line and the light of Hesed<\/em>, and Hassadim<\/em> will shine once more in the world. By that, it will rule over the flame and the flame will gradually be swallowed in the firmament in the face of the star until it is not seen at all. Then the star will create paths in the firmament in twelve boundaries, meaning it will sweeten the screen with the quality of mercy, called \u201cpath.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n And when the three lines in it are included in each of the HB<\/em> TM<\/em>, three times four is twelve paths. And these lights will stand in the firmament for twelve days because even the Malchut<\/em> herself shines only in the three lines, HGT<\/em>. But the Malchut<\/em> in her does not shine; hence, they are only twelve lights. And this completes the Messiah with Neshama<\/em> of GAR<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 115) After twelve days, when it wishes to extend their illumination to Malchut<\/em>, all the people in the world will startle from the quality of judgment in Malchut<\/em> and the sun will darken at midday, as it darkened on the day when the Temple was ruined, until heaven and earth were invisible. And a voice will awaken in a thunder and sparks from the quality of judgment in the Malchut<\/em>, the earth will shake from that voice, and several armies and camps will die because of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 116) And that day, meaning Malchut<\/em>, will cause the awakening in the great city of Rome, which is Bina<\/em> of the shells\u2014a flame of fire from the judgment of the left in that voice that will awaken throughout the world from the judgment in Malchut<\/em>. That is, these two kinds of judgments will join together and burn many towers and many palaces. Then several towers and several rulers and ministers will fall on that day. And all the judgments will gather unto her to do harm, and all the people in the world will not be able to be saved. And all that is a preparation for the completion of the Messiah in the light of Haya<\/em> of GAR<\/em>, as it is known that the posterior precede the anterior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 117) \u201cFrom that day and for twelve months\u201d means until the illumination of the twelve boundaries is corrected in Malchut<\/em>, too, since in ZA<\/em> they are called \u201ctwelve days,\u201d and in Malchut<\/em> they are called \u201ctwelve months.\u201d All the kings will seek counsel and declare several decrees and several destructions against Israel, and they will succeed in them. Happy is he who is there in the days of the Messiah; happy is he who will not be there, for he will be saved from those judgments and the entire world will be in great bewilderment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 118) At the end of the twelve months, after the twelve lights in Malchut<\/em> are corrected, a tribe will rise out of Israel. This is the Messiah King, who will awaken within the Garden of Eden and all the righteous will crown him there and gird him with arms in letters written on the vessel of the Holy Name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 119) And a voice will explode in the branches of the trees in the garden and will call aloud and say, \u201cAwaken, you High Holy Ones, arise from before the Messiah, it is the time for a woman to bond with her husband,\u201d meaning Tifferet<\/em> and Malchut<\/em>. Her husband, Tifferet<\/em>, wishes to avenge the world for her and to raise her and shake her from the dust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 120) Then they will all rise and gird him with his arms as before\u2014Abraham on his right, Isaac on his left, Jacob before him, and Moses, the loyal shepherd, above all those righteous, walking and dancing in the Garden of Eden. This completes the Messiah in the light of Haya<\/em> of GAR<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 121) When the Messiah is established through the righteous in the Garden of Eden, he will enter the place of the bird\u2019s nest as before, and see there the form of the ruin of the Temple and all the righteous that were killed in it. Then he will take ten garments from there, which are called \u201cten garments of envy,\u201d and will be hidden there for forty days, unrevealed at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 122) After forty days, a voice will awaken and will call from the high throne, Bina<\/em>, unto the bird\u2019s nest with the Messiah King who was hidden in it. Then he will be lifted up and the Creator will see the Messiah King clothed in attire of vengeance and girding his arms. And He will take him and kiss him on his head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 123) Then 390 firmaments will tremble and the Creator will hint to one of those firmaments, which has been concealed since the six days of creation, and He will take out a single Keter<\/em> from one palace in that firmament, carved and engraved with the Holy Names. This was the crown in which the Creator was crowned when Israel crossed the sea to receive vengeance from all the horsemen and carriages of Pharaoh, and he crowned the Messiah King with that crown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The screen that is sweetened in Bina<\/em> is called \u201cfirmament.\u201d Since it is extended from Bina<\/em>, it contains four discernments HB<\/em> TM<\/em>, in each of which are 100 Sefirot<\/em>. However, since Malchut<\/em> lacks them, there are only 390 firmaments in them, and ten firmaments in Malchut<\/em> were hidden since the six days of creation, meaning since the time when the correction of the second restriction was established.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It was said, \u201cAt that time, 390 firmaments shake,\u201d meaning that since the correction has reached Malchut<\/em> of the quality of judgment and they fear the judgments of Malchut<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Creator hints to one of those firmaments that has been concealed since the six days of creation, the firmament of Malchut<\/em> of the quality of judgment, which has been concealed since the six days of creation. And He takes out one Keter<\/em> from a palace in that firmament, since the absence of Malchut<\/em> in the vessels induces a lack of light of Keter<\/em> in the lights. And now that Malchut<\/em> has been corrected, the light of Keter<\/em> has returned to the firmament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At the time of the crossing of the Red Sea, when the Creator wished to sink the shell of Egypt so that Israel would never see them again, the Creator crowned Himself with that Malchut<\/em> of the quality of judgment. And now that this Malchut<\/em> has been corrected and the light of Keter<\/em> within her has appeared, the Creator took her and crowned the Messiah King with that crown. This completes the Messiah King with the light of Yechida<\/em> of GAR<\/em>, but only in VAK<\/em> of Yechida<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 124) When the Messiah was crowned and corrected with all those corrections, the Creator took him and kissed him as before. \u201cWho saw\u201d means the holy Merkavot<\/em> [structures] and camps of upper angels surrounding him and giving him presents and many delights, and he will be crowned with all of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 125) He entered one palace and saw all the upper angels, called \u201cThem that mourn in Zion.\u201d They weep for the ruin of the Temple; they always weep and give it a red garment of kingship, to take vengeance. Then the Creator hides him in that bird\u2019s nest and he is hidden there for thirty days, which is a preparation for reception of GAR<\/em> of Yechida<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 126) After thirty days, when that bird\u2019s nest vanishes, he descends crowned in all the corrections from above and from below, and several holy camps surrounding him. And the whole world will see a single light hanging from the firmament unto the earth. And it will stand for seven days, which is HGT<\/em> NHYM<\/em> in Malchut<\/em>, which shines even in Malchut<\/em> within Malchut<\/em>. And all the people in the world will wonder and be alarmed, and will not know at all except for those sages who know these secrets, happy are they.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 127) And for all those seven days, he will be crowned in the land, in Malchut<\/em>, in that bird\u2019s nest, as it is written, \u201cIf you come across a bird\u2019s nest on the road, in any tree, or on the earth,\u201d which concerns the Messiah King, who is crowned with a bird\u2019s nest in the place of Rachel\u2019s burial, at the crossroads. And since the Messiah is crowned with the light of Malchut<\/em> of Malchut<\/em>, which is worthy of gathering the exiles, he will therefore tell her that and comfort her. And then she will receive comfort, where before it was written, \u201cShe refuses to be comforted for her children, because they are not.\u201d And she will rise and kiss the Messiah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 128) Subsequently, a light will rise from Rachel\u2019s grave and will be in the city of trees, which is Jericho. This is why it is written, \u201cIn any tree\u201d which is Jericho, the city of dates, which Joshua could not entirely correct. This is why he said, \u201cCursed be the man before the Lord, who rises up and builds this city,\u201d Jericho, since it is extended from the quality of judgment in Malchut<\/em> of Malchut<\/em>. And now the Messiah will correct it in the light of the seven days. It is written, \u201cor on the earth, which is Jerusalem, the externality of Malchut<\/em>, and he will be hidden in the light, in the bird\u2019s nest, for twelve months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 129) After twelve months, that light will be upright between heaven and earth, and will be in the land of the Galilee, where Israel\u2019s exile of Assyria began. There the Messiah will appear from that light of the bird\u2019s nest and will return to his place. And on that day, the whole earth will shake as before, from the end of the heaven to its end, and everyone will see that the Messiah King had appeared in the land of the Galilee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 130) And all those who engaged in Torah, who are called \u201csons,\u201d will gather unto him. They are few in the world, but through them that are children in the study, the Messiah\u2019s strength will grow. This is the \u201cnestlings\u201d in the verse. And if we do not find them that suckle, who sit in their mothers\u2019 bosom and suckle, meaning the eggs in the verse, since because of these, the Shechina is in exile with Israel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 131) This is so because few are the sages who are called \u201csons\u201d at that time. It is written, \u201cand the mother sitting on the nestlings or on the eggs, you shall not take the mother with the young,\u201d since then there are no sons. This is why \u201cYou shall not take the mother,\u201d the Shechina. And the Messiah will detain up to another twelve months, and then her husband, ZA<\/em>, will come and raise her from the dust, as it is written, \u201cI will raise up the fallen tabernacle of David.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n 132) On that day the Messiah King will begin to gather the exile from the end of the world to the end of the world, as it is written, \u201cIf any of you are dispersed in the outermost parts of heaven.\u201d From there the Lord your God will assemble you, and from there He will take you.\u201d From that day, the Creator will do for Israel all the signs, miracles, and mighty deeds that He had done in Egypt, as it is written, \u201cAs in the days when you came out from the land of Egypt, I will show him wonders.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n 133) You will find all those things in the thirty-two paths of wisdom of the Holy Name. And as long as these miracles do not awaken in the world, the Holy Name will not be completed and the love will not awaken, as it is written, \u201cI adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, by the gazelles or the does of the field, that you not stir up or awaken love until it pleases.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cBy the gazelles\u201d is the Messiah King. \u201cOr by the hinds of the field\u201d are the rest of the armies and camps below. \u201cThat you do not awaken or stir up love\u201d is the right hand of the Creator, the Sefira<\/em> of Hesed<\/em>, called \u201clove.\u201d \u201cUntil it pleases,\u201d the Shechina, who is laying in the dust, so the king\u2019s desire will be for her. Righteous will be the one who is rewarded with that generation. He will be righteous in this world and righteous in the next world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 134) Rabbi Shimon raised his hands in prayer before the Creator and prayed his prayer. After he prayed his prayer, Rabbi Elazar, his son, and Rabbi Aba came and sat before him. while they were sitting before him, they saw that one light of the day has darkened, and a pipeline, a spout of blazing fire, sank into the sea of Tiberias, and that whole place was shaken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 135) Rabbi Shimon said, \u201cIndeed, now is the time when the Creator remembers His children and sheds down two tears into the great sea. When they come down, they meet this pipeline of blazing fire and they sink together in the sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 136) We have explained regarding the letters of the Holy Name, concerning the awakening of the Creator toward His sons. But now I can disclose what no other man has been permitted to disclose, but the merit of this generation will sustain the world until the arrival of the Messiah King. Woe unto one who will rise then. Who can endure what I see in the prolonging of the exile?<\/p>\n\n\n\n 137) \u201cO Lord our God, other lords beside You have had dominion over us; but by You only do we mention Your name.\u201d This verse holds a sublime secret in faith. \u201cO Lord our God\u201d is the beginning of the high secrets, Hochma<\/em> and Bina<\/em>, from which all the light emerges to illuminate all the candles. This means that all the Mochin<\/em> of ZON<\/em> and BYA<\/em> emerge from these HB<\/em>, which are called \u201cThe Lord our God.\u201d And upon that depends all the faith, Nukva<\/em>, as it is written, \u201cThe Lord God fashioned,\u201d which are HB<\/em>, \u201cThe rib,\u201d meaning the Nukva<\/em>, called \u201cfaith.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n 138) \u201cOther lords beside You have had dominion over us,\u201d since there is no one to rule over the people of Israel but that upper name, \u201cthe Lord our God,\u201d and now in exile the other side rules over it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 139) \u201cBy You only do we mention Your name.\u201d The Holy Name, Nukva<\/em>, is the sum of all twenty-two letters. This is why she is called Et<\/em> [Aleph<\/em>–Tav<\/em>], implying the twenty-two letters from Aleph<\/em> to Tav<\/em>. And the assembly of Israel, Nukva<\/em>, is blessed only by that name, You, ZA<\/em>, which contains within him twenty-two letters, too, such as the number Bet<\/em>–Kaf<\/em> [numeric value\u201422, and forming the word \u201cYou\u201d in Hebrew], as it is written, \u201cTo whom You swore by Yourself,\u201d and it is written, \u201cBy You shall Israel bless.\u201d \u201cFor by You I will run upon a troop.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n All these imply ZA<\/em>, and when there was wholeness, ZA<\/em> and Nukva<\/em> were not separated from each other. It is forbidden to separate them from each other\u2014a woman from her husband\u2014neither in thought nor in mention, so as to not display separation. But now, in exile, there is separation because out of the troubles that come upon us each time, we create separation, mentioning the name of the Nukva<\/em> apart from her husband, ZA<\/em>, since she lies in the dust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The world is always led by the Nukva<\/em>. When she is connected with her husband, ZA<\/em>, she has all the pleasure and all the bounty to bestow upon the world. At that time, it is considered that the lower ones that are worthy of that abundance cause the coupling of Nukva<\/em> with ZA<\/em>, her husband. But in the exile, when the lower ones are not worthy of the great abundance, but receive trouble and harsh torments from Nukva<\/em>\u2019s leadership, it is considered that we lower ones cause separation between ZA<\/em> and Nukva<\/em>, the Nukva<\/em> is alone, outside of ZA<\/em>, and she is lying in the dust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is so because without coupling with him, all the harsh judgments are drawn out to the world, and for this reason she is lowly and degraded to dust. It is written, \u201cBy You only do we mention Your name.\u201d Your name, the Nukva<\/em>, will be connected to You, ZA<\/em>, and then all the wholeness and good will be in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 140) When the Nukva<\/em> is without her husband, it is considered that we mention this name separately because we are far from You and have caused others to rule over us. And Your name, the Nukva<\/em>, is separated from the name in You, ZA<\/em>. This is during the exile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 141) The first exile was from the First Temple, the first Hey<\/em> of HaVaYaH<\/em>, Bina<\/em>. Corresponding to her seventy years, which are ZAT<\/em>, HGT<\/em>, NHYM<\/em>, the exile of the First Temple was seventy years, where each Sefira<\/em> contains ten, making them seventy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The mother, GAR<\/em> of Bina<\/em>, is not in those seventy years. They were separated from the upper name, the first Hey<\/em> of HaVaYaH<\/em>. And then the Yod<\/em> of HaVaYaH<\/em>, the upper one of Bina<\/em>, departed upwards to Ein Sof<\/em> [infinity]. And the First, High Temple, the Holy One, Bina<\/em>, does not flow a spring of living water because her source, Yod<\/em> of HaVaYaH<\/em>, meaning Hochma<\/em>, departed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 142) The first Hey<\/em> of HaVaYaH<\/em> is seventy years in exile because she is called \u201cseven years,\u201d as it is written about the First Temple, \u201cSo he was seven years in building it.\u201d Did the kingdom of Babylon rule above in the matter of the seventy years, which are Bina<\/em>? No. Rather, when the Temple was standing, the light and the springing of the upper
