211) \u201cAnd He blotted out the universe that was upon the face of the ground.\u201d The text comes to include all those rulers who rule and the appointees over the earth, meaning the angels appointed over the nations of the earth, who were also blotted out. This is the meaning of \u201cthe universe that was upon the face of the ground.\u201d When the Creator executes judgment in the people of the world, He first passes to the appointees who govern them, and then to the dwellers of the world who dwell under the wings of their protection, as it is written, \u201cThe Lord will command the armies of above, above.\u201d Subsequently, it is written, \u201cAnd over the kings of the ground on the ground.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

212) How do the appointees go before Him? If death does not apply to them, how does He remove them?

This is why it is first written, \u201cAnd He blotted out the whole universe,\u201d and then it is written, \u201cFrom man to beast,\u201d and they were blotted out from the earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
