91) In all the places, the name El<\/em> [God] is Hesed<\/em>, as it is written, \u201cThe great God.\u201d This is illumination of the upper Hochma<\/em>, since Hesed<\/em> rises and becomes upper Hochma<\/em> at the time of Gadlut de<\/em> ZA<\/em>. But it is written, \u201cGod is angry each day,\u201d meaning that the text leaves all those names that indicate Hesed<\/em>, and grips to Din<\/em>. Thus, the words are untrue. Moreover, it is written, \u201cA mighty God.\u201d Thus, do we place the name God in Din<\/em> or in Rachamim<\/em>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

92) The wicked turn the Rachamim<\/em> to Din<\/em> because in all the upper Sefirot<\/em> of the holy King, it does not happen that the Rachamim<\/em> are not included in Din<\/em>, and the Din<\/em> in Rachamim<\/em>. And the wicked turn the Rachamim<\/em> into Din<\/em>, hence although the name God is Hesed<\/em>, the wicked turn it into Din<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

93) It is written, \u201cA mighty God,\u201d meaning that for the wicked, He turns into Din<\/em>. But the words, \u201cGod is angry each day\u201d means that He is standing in Din<\/em> each and every day, whether the people of the world are righteous or not righteous. \u201cGod is angry each day\u201d means that sometimes the name God is Din<\/em>, and sometimes it is Rachamim<\/em>. If the people of the world are worthy, the name God is Hesed<\/em>. If they are not worthy, He is called \u201cmighty.\u201d This is why He stands each day, for each day there are those who are worthy and those who are unworthy. Thus, for the unworthy, \u201cGod is angry each day.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

94) But the good answer is that in all the places, God is the illumination of upper Hochma<\/em>, Hesed<\/em>, and He stands in His persistence each day, as it is written, \u201cThe grace of God endures all day long.\u201d If this name did not awaken in the world, the world would not be able to stand even an hour due to the harsh Dinim<\/em> that awaken in the world each day. It is written, \u201cThese are the generations of the heaven and the earth when they were created.\u201d Do not pronounce them BeHibaram<\/em> [when they were created], but BeAvaraham<\/em> [in Abraham], Hesed<\/em>, since the heaven and earth stand because of the awakening of Abraham. And when Abraham awakens in the world, meaning the Hesed<\/em>, it repels and ejects all the Dinim<\/em> that are present each day and they cannot resist him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

95) \u201cAnd God is angry each day.\u201d It writes \u201cangry\u201d because each day when the Din<\/em> is present, it rejects and ejects it, and he stands and perfumes the world, as it is written, \u201cThe Lord will command His grace in the daytime.\u201d Were it not so, the world would not have been able to endure for even a minute; hence, everything stands and persists for Abraham, Hesed<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

96) When it writes, \u201cA mighty God,\u201d it does not mean that the name God is mighty. Rather, it implies to the patriarchs, HGT<\/em>, to the upper and holy faith, Bina<\/em>, as it is written, \u201cWonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.\u201d \u201cWonderful\u201d is the upper Hochma<\/em>, which is wonderment and covered from everything, as it is written, \u201cIf something is incomprehensible to you\u201d [Nifla<\/em> means both \u201cwonderful\u201d and \u201cincomprehensible\u201d or \u201cabstruse\u201d]. \u201cWonder\u201d comes from the word \u201cconcealment.\u201d \u201cCounselor\u201d means the upper river, which extends and comes out and does not stop, meaning Bina<\/em>. It advises all and waters all, since all the Mochin<\/em> of ZON<\/em> and BYA<\/em> come from Bina<\/em>. \u201cGod\u201d is Abraham, as it is written, \u201cThe great God,\u201d Hesed<\/em>. \u201cMighty\u201d is Isaac, Gevura<\/em>. \u201cEternal Father\u201d is Jacob, who grips to the right and to the left and is in complete existence, since \u201cEternal Father\u201d means wholeness. \u201cPrince of Peace\u201d means righteous, Yesod<\/em>, world peace, domestic peace, and peace of the queen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
