And Israel, ZA, did not descend with them into exile, as did the Shechina, who went down into exile with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Happy are Israel because if ZA did come down with them into exile, they would remain among the nations and would not be able to come out of them. And it is written, \u201cWhy have I come and there was no one, I called and none answered? Is My hand too short to redeem?\u201d \u201cAnd none answered\u201d is Israel, ZA. \u201c[Why] have I come and there was no one\u201d is the Shechina, whose hand is too short. Thus, ZA, too, went into exile with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the Creator gave a portion to Israel, so no other minister would rule over them. For this reason, he was in exile with them. And when they went into exile, the Shechina is with them. But ZA is far from the Shechina. Indeed, ZA is in exile with Israel, too, as well as the Shechina. But he is far from the Shechina and there is no coupling between them. This is why he said before that ZA did not go down to exile.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>25) \u201cAnd the time drew near that Israel must die.\u201d He saw that this trouble
