Translation

ZEIR ANPIN comes down to the world with the eyes glowing like the fiery flames of fire, ACCORDING TO THE SECRET OF THE VERSE, "I WILL GO DOWN NOW, AND SEE..." Woe to he who shall run into Him when He is armed with Swords. THIS REFERS TO THE JUDGMENTS, WHICH ARE CALLED 'SWORDS.' He has a sharp Sword in His hand and has pity on neither the good nor the bad. The verdict of those seventy COLORS comes down by the left hand, with permission granted by the Unison to which that 'Side of the Heavens' is attached.

chanoch's Commentary

With Rabbi Ashlag's comments, the verse is clear as written. When these 70 judgements are released both good and evil people are judged negative if seen.

Commentary by Bracha

Verse 271 is reminding us who is the final Executioner fulfilling the verdict made from the Highest Supreme Court in the Heavens reported from below in Zer Anpin of Asiyah about the evil behaviors committed from the lawless ones, called wicked or evil. As the old adage goes, "the buck stops here."

HaShem is the final Judge and Executioner. He is Mankind Disciplinarian Parent, not His Angels. When HaShem's anger is aroused, then we see the final outcome without awareness about the process steps taken before Our Maker is brought into this picture when accounting the evil actions taken to extremes by we humans, His children.

The phase "sharp Sword in His Hand" is referring to HaShem, Our Judge and Executor. Also, "eyes glowing like fiery flames of fire" and "I will go down and see", another reminder who is watching, listening and accounting from Above. This is HaShem. Our Disciplinary Parent, Our Father, whom we make full accounting to for our choices displayed in actions with another, to ourselves and towards HaShem.

Questions:

1. What is this most harmful, destructive, powerful emotion on a human level? HaShem, as Our Parent, wants us to have full self control with accounting for the choice of actions taken by ourselves without blaming, excusing nor faulting another for our display on this emotion? Do you know?

2. Do you know your own triggers that arouses or alerts you on this possible destructive emotion surfacing inside of you?

3. Are you initially able to use the "striking by binding" tool with this emotion or have you discovered that something else is needed before reaching this full self accounting consciously to be fully in control of yourself first?

4. This emotion isn't evil. It is how we use it and defend our stand for the use on this emotion. What does HaShem, as Our Parent, approves with this emotion that He has entrusted us to develop toward proper balance of use?

Translation

He changes into many kinds of Judgment. Every day He changes into many colors. THIS MEANS THAT THEY RECEIVE A DIFFERENT SHAPE EACH TIME. It happens when offensive speech is exalted and collected cheaply among the rulers of men. All sorts of Judgments appear in the 'Vessel of Wrath' of the Holy One, blessed be He. And THESE JUDGMENTS remain at the top of the world, while human beings, because of their ignorance, are not aware of them.

chanoch's Commentary

With Rabbi Ashlag's comments, the verse is clear as written. Because Satan feeds light to the gossipers they continue to speak loshon harah. The judgements "at the top of the world are the first to be released. This is Satan's motivation.

Translation

"Brimstone and fire" REFERS TO the waste of water and fire that have been drawn from the heavens, combined together, and released upon Sodom. Woe to the wicked, who do not pay attention for the glory of their Master.

chanoch's Commentary

With Rabbi Ashlag's comments, the verse is clear as written. What is Brimstone? Brimstone, an archaic term synonymous with sulfur, evokes the acrid odor of sulphur dioxide given off by lightning strikes. Lightning was understood as divine punishment by many ancient religions; the association of sulfur with divine retribution is common in the Bible, is the human difference. The Zohar definition demonstrates the difference between human wisdom and Heavenly Wisdom.

Transliteration

Translation

Ten Names are engraved by the King's authority. THE TEN NAMES REFER TO THE TEN SFIROT; there are ten SFIROT, AS EXPLAINED IN SEFER YETZIRAH (THE BOOK OF FORMATION); TEN EXACTLY, NOT NINE OR ELEVEN. NEVERTHELESS, THEY ALSO add up to a greater number, WHICH IS A REFERENCE TO THE 72 NAMES. THIS CAN BE EXPLAINED FURTHER. These seventy colors that glow in all directions derive from these Names, THAT IS, FROM THE 72 NAMES. AND THESE SEVENTY COLORS WERE ENGRAVED and formed into the secret of the seventy Names of the angels, which are the secret of the heavens.

chanoch's Commentary

With Rabbi Ashlag's comments, the verse is clear as written. HaShem created this opposite that. This statement is a warning in the use of the 72 Names inappropriately. This is my opinion.

Commentary by Bracha

Verse 274 is a reminder to all of Mankind on the potentiality to be close to Our Creator while traveling in the World of Asiyah. Also,informing us that we are His children for His names are engraved upon us from the ten sefirots within our spiritual energetic make up within our physical body systems.

Acquiring this understanding comes through the sefirots blueprint found in the Kabbalah knowledge books reminding us on whom created us and the potential spiritual task that is ours to accomplish in the Asiyah world in physicality, if we desire. Also, our connection with Our Creator is essential during this progressive process. Our destiny can only be achieved with Our Creator's help in the Asiyah world of action.

Note the words used to this awareness, "the King's authority", "Ten Names engraved"," sefer Yetzirah", "seventy colors that glows in all directions" and "the secret of the angels".

When seeking this renewal with Our Creator, we will attach to the World of Yetzirah, the second world above Asiyah. These two worlds are connected interactively and integrating vibrationally without any division blockages between them, unless from ourselves when we sin. Any sin against Torah law will create an emotional barrier or blockage unless corrected from the teshuvah process to remove these created barriers.

The World of Yetzirah is where the Angels of HaShem dwell. This is hinting that the angels are assisting Our Creator by governing, protecting and directing HaShem's human children existing in the Asiyah world. Note the words used in this passage: "seventy names of the angels" and "secret of the heavens".

When they are all joined together as one, in one secret, by the power of the Almighty, NAMELY ZEIR ANPIN, then He is called Vav-Yud Hei Vav Hei, WHICH MEANS THAT all are united as one.

The phrase "from Hashem out of heaven" REFERS TO the Holy Name that is engraved with the other seventy Names of the secret of the heavens - WHICH ALLUDE TO ZEIR-ANPIN, WHICH IS THE NAME OF 72 THAT ARE IN THE MOCHIN OF ZEIR-ANPIN, WHILE IN ESSENCE IT INCLUDES SEVENTY. So these are the seventy OF ZEIR ANPIN that control the seventy Judgments OF THE NUKVA THAT GLOW IN ALL DIRECTIONS. They are the secret of Vav-Yud-Vav-Hei-Hei. And these seventy names of holiness, NAMELY THE MOCHIN OF ZEIR ANPIN, ARE THE SECRET OF Yud Hei Vav Hei WITHOUT THE LETTER VAV, CALLED the "heavens."

Commentary by Bracha

Verse 279 is informing us that both Heaven and earth light energies within the sefirot grid work together as a team with HaShem in charge officially. The three column sefirot structure is balanced interdependently and simultaneously. They each are performing dependently between each other. They return to balance when judgement's call has been completed and the recycling begins again.

Note the words used to describe this spiritual built in fail safe process: seventy judgements within Nukvah and Zeir Anpin, the four letter name of HaShem, dependent, all is connected together, all shine simultaneously, and 72 names derived from the three verses (Shemot 14:19- 21).

THIS IS ZEIR ANPIN, WHO IS CALLED 'MAN.' HE IS ABOVE ON THE THRONE, WHICH IS THE SECRET OF THE NUKVA AND HER SEVENTY KINDS OF JUDGMENT. And this is the secret of what is written, "Then Hashem rained upon Sodom," WHICH ALLUDES TO THE NUKVA AND HER SEVENTY KINDS OF JUDGMENT, WHICH IS THE SECRET OF THE THRONE. The phrase, "from Hashem out of heaven," REFERS TO THE SECRET OF ZEIR ANPIN, WHO IS ABOVE UPON THE THRONE. And everything belongs to the same issue and the same secret. This has been passed on to those men who are wise at heart. Happy are they in this world and in the World to Come.

Commentary by Bracha

Verse 284 is admonishing us how to respect the Divine part of of our being that is liken to Our Creator, Blessed be He. HaShem gave us, our souls, the opportunities to experience from our experiential experiences from our garment sensory body systems to know Our Holy Maker, personally or just to know of His knowledge.

The free will choice is ours to choose from both the negative and positive energetic spiritual systems build into our physicality of our very own bodies and the interactive world we learn from.

The wise ones, the righteous ones of heart, who came before us or the ones living in our generations hidden, named the Tzaddiks. They are the gatekeepers directing our spiritual course, if we heed, their counsel, admonishments and clear instructions as we gain mastery upon our own internal positive and negative system influences within both of our own yetzers known as - tov and ra.

Note that Sodom was mentioned in this verse to remind us about their downfall. We can prevent this coming into our world experiences today. How you choose is in your hands, not HaShem, Our Holy One, Blessed be He. This is the agency He gave to us His human children, not His Angels.

285. סְדוֹם גְּזַר דִּינָא דִּלְהוֹן, עַל דְּמָנְעוּ צְדָקָה מִנַּיְיהוּ, כְּדָבָר אֲחֵר וְיַד עָנִי וְאֶבְיוֹן לֹא הֶחֱזִיקָה. וּבְגִין כָּךְ, דִּינָא לָא הֲוָה, אֶלָּא מִן שָׁמַיִם, צְדָקָה וְשָׁמַיִם כֹּלָּא חַד, וּכְתִיב כִּי גָדוֹל מֵעַל שָׁמַיִם חַסְדֶּךָ, וּבְגִין דְּתַלְיָא צְדָקָה בַּשָּׁמַיִם, דִּינָא הוּא מִשָּׁמַיִם, דִּכְתִיב מֵאֵת יי' מִן הַשָּׁמָיִם.

Translation

As for Sodom, its people were punished because they refrained from giving charity. As it is written, "Neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy" (Yechezkel 16:49). And this is why the Judgment upon them came solely from heaven - because "charity" and "heaven" are one. As it is written, "For your kindness is great above the heavens" (Tehilim 108:5), INDICATING THAT "CHARITY" AND "KINDNESS" ARE BOTH DRAWN FROM THE HEAVENS ABOVE. Because charity depends on the heavens, their Judgment is also drawn down from the heavens, as it is written, "From Hashem out of heaven."

Commentary by Bracha

Verse 285 is very clear on the behavioral choice actions that the people of Sodom were punished for and solely accounted from the Heaven's Above. They forgot their Divine connection with Our Creator, Blessed be He. They lived selfishly only for themselves lacking a feeling heart of charity and actions on kindnesses toward their fellows, the poor and needy of their land. Their cruelty was noted and it was HaShem, Our Blessed King, who took full responsibility to bring full judgment's accounting upon Sodom, not His Angels.

HaShem's Angels visit us daily noting our daily choices recording these behavioral thoughts and actions that are reported as well as Our Creator, Blessed be He, who is watching from the side. HaShem hears our every thoughts and words towards each other, towards ourselves and to Him, Blessed be Our Holy One. This spiritual awareness is heighten from our spiritual tools practiced for us to see, hear and feel the Angel's among us.

דִּינָא דְּיִשְׂרָאֵל מֵהַאי אֲתַר, דִּכְתִיב וַיִּגְדַּל עֲוֹן בַּת עַמִּי מֵחַטַּאת סְדוֹם. וְאִקְרֵי יְרוּשָׁלֵם, אֲחוֹת לִסְדוֹם, כְּדָבָר אֲחֵר הִנֵּה זֶה הָיָה עֲוֹן סְדוֹם אֲחוֹתֵךְ, וְדִינְהוֹן הֲוָה מִן שְׁמַיָא, דִּינָא חָדָא כִּסְדוֹם, עַל דְּמָנְעוּ צְדָקָה מִנַּיְיהוּ. בַּר דְּדָא אִתְהַפַּךְ, וְדָא אִתְחָרַב, דָּא אִית לָהּ תְּקוּמָה, וְדָא לֵית לָהּ תְּקוּמָה (ע"כ ס"ת).

Translation

The Judgment upon Yisrael comes from that place as well, REFERRING TO THE HEAVENS, as it is written, "For the iniquity of the daughter of my people is greater than the sin of Sodom" (Eichah 4:6), where Jerusalem is called the 'Sister of Sodom.' As it is written, "Behold, this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom" (Yechezkel 16:49). And THIS IS WHY their Judgment came upon them from the heavens - the same Judgment as fell on Sodom - because they refused to give charity. The only difference is that one was overthrown, NAMELY SODOM, while the other, JERUSALEM, was destroyed. The second shall be reconstructed, REFERRING TO JERUSALEM, while the other, SODOM, shall not.

chanoch's Commentary

With Rabbi Ashlag's comments, the verse is clear as written.

Commentary by Bracha

Verse 286 ends this Zohar instruction about the Heaven's Degrees executed upon Mankind, both upon the Noahides, Sodom, and Israel, of Jerusalem, HaShem's covenanted children. Both experienced total destruction as assigned from HaShem.

The people of Sodom were removed from this earth physicality and their lands were left in ash and salt where the soil would never be replenished for plant life, even today.

Jerusalem was completely demolished beginning with the removal of the ten righteous Tzadiks of their time who faced cruel executions from the Roman governing powers. The Temple was destroyed completely where there wasn't any evidence where it was once built.

HaShem's covenant children were then exiled from the Holy Land for an indefinite time and experienced rejection from the seventy nations that they were disperse into. The protection given by HaShem, towards His Israel children, they lived in their own communities apart from the Noahide world. This was HaShem's mercy upon His covenant children in exile, Blessed be Our Holy One, until the time arrived for the Israelite children to return home to Jerusalem to rebuild the Holy land and the third Temple.

Today, the Israelite covenanted children of HaShem have been returning to their Holy Lands of Jerusalem these last 72 years. The purging, cleansing and purification spiritually is being experienced by every man and woman today this very hour, beginning with the House of Yaachov, the women, and the men of Israel, besides the Noahide world, too. All human beings are involved in this unique cleansing, purging time in preparation for the "World to Come".

Many of the righteous ones of Israel, Tzadiks, have been removed from our world as reported by Rabbi Anava who had a second near death experience a year and a half ago. He shared what he learned and saw when he was taken from the earth while being informed he had completed his own tikkun work and didn't need to return to the earth again. He chose to return.

His main message, upon his return, that all Jews, in Israel and in the diaspar, are to do corrective teshuvah work by returning to their King, HaShem, and loving each other. They are not only to love the Jews from their own groups, but every Jew, regardless, if his spiritual practices as a modern orthodox, conservative, reform or non observant. When all Jews can do these behavioral corrective changes, personally and collectively, then the healing will unfold and the degrees are fulfilled and ceased. That was Rabbi Anava's challenge to all Jews.
