Moshiach will teach mankind to forsee the inconceivable beauty that glows from within.
Beyond wisdom or insight
Shi”ur
Komah:
The Ancient of Ancients, the Concealed of
the concealed, Mystery of Mysteries, took on a shape and it was given. He exists and yet does not exist; there is no one who
can recognize him, for he is the Ancient of Ancients the Elder of Elders, but in his shapes he becomes recognizable without
being recognizable.
For so long as the scale (regulates the
holly orders) did not exist…the scale stands on itself; it is not attached [to anything] and it is not visible. Those
who where not, who are and who will be, have ascended and do ascend upon it.
Zohar lll, 228a:
The Ancient of Ancients, the Concealed of
the concealed, Mystery of Mysteries, when assumed shape, He produced nine blazing lights from his
shape, and these lights shine out of him and spread continuously on all sides; like a lamp (or candle) from which light spread
on all sides and directions; but when one approaches these lights in order to know them, there is nothing there but the lamp
alone. And these are called the holly name of God, and that is why everything is One.
Bahir(S
105;M 157)
The Holly one, blessed be he, has one righteous man in his world, and he (Moshiach) is very precious to Him (G.D).
Because he maintains the whole world and He is its foundation. He (G.D) provides for him and lets him grow and cultivates
him and guards him. He is loved and treasured above, loved and treasured below; feared and sublime above, feared and sublime
below; comely and accepted above, comely and accepted below, and he is the foundation of all soul.
(S 123;M 180)
That potency
of the Southwest is the foundation
of the world, as is written, “the righteous is the foundation of the worlds”. In his hand He holds the souls of
all living things, for he is the life of the world and every term of creation spoken about (in scripture) takes place through
Him.
(S
14; M 22)
It was I( G.D) who planted this tree(Moshiach), so that all the world could delight in it, and I engraved all within
it, and call its name “the All”; for all hangs from it and all comes from it and all need it, and all look upon
it and set their hopes upon it, and from thence all soul emanate.
The Divine Throne-Chariot
And between the turning wheels, angels of holiness come and go, as it were
a fiery vision of most holy spirits; and about them flow seeming rivulets of fire, like gleaming bronze, a radiance of many
gorgeous colors, of marvelous pigments magnificently mingled.
The Spirits of the Living God move perpetually with the glory of the wonderful
Chariot. The small voice of blessing accompanies the tumult as they depart, and on the path of their return they worship the
Holy One, Ascending they rise marvelously; settling, they stay still. The sound of joyful praise is silenced and there is
a small voice of blessing in all the camp of God.
And a voice of praise resounds from the midst of all their divisions in worship. And each one
in his place, all their numbered ones sing hymns of praise.
