It is written, \u201cFrom afar, the Lord appeared to me.\u201d When the Creator speaks with the prophets, He appears to them only from afar. This is why they see an image of things, like a person standing at a distance. The exception is Moses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>93. All the prophets besides Moses prophesied only from within a mirror that does not shine. Moses prophesied from within a mirror that shines. The rest of the prophets from a distance, and Moses from nearby, as it is written, \u201cNot so is My servant Moses; in all My house, he is trusted.\u201d A trusted one in the king\u2019s house is close to the king.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>94. Is the love of the Creator not on all the prophets because they prophesied from afar? However, it is written, \u201cFrom afar the Lord appeared to me, and I have loved you with an everlasting love. Therefore, I have anointed you with mercy [Hesed].\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>95. There is one who is far and grows near, and one who is near and grows far. There is one who is far and grows near is as it is written, \u201cFrom afar she brings her bread,\u201d written about Malchut. It means that after she brings the bread, she is near. Near and growing far is as it is written, \u201cFrom afar, the Lord appeared to me,\u201d implying that now He is seen from afar, and previously, He was near.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fact that He is close in both verses is for the prophets, and the fact that He is far in both verses is for the kings, who receive from Malchut. And vise-versa, close to the kings who receive from Malchut, and far for the prophets, who see imaginations of above as a kind of body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>96. When the prophet sees with a clean light, it is known that the world is sentenced favorably. When they see in the dark, the world is sentenced for revenge. At that time, the text opens, \u201cAnd it came to pass, in the days when the judges judged, and there was famine in the land.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>97. \u201cAnd it came to pass, in the days\u2026\u201d Rabbi Bon was in Caesarea all his life. One day, he saw the people sinning, that poor were walking and they did not notice them. He said, \u201cIndeed, it seems as though there is judgment here.\u201d He got up and walked away.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>92.
