The
Signs
of
the
Messiah
476)
“Then
will
I
remember
My
covenant
with
Jacob.”
Why
is
Jacob
spelled
with
a
Vav
[in
Hebrew]?
Vav
is
the
degree
of
Hochma
in
the
place
where
Jacob
is,
Tifferet
of
Atzilut,
middle
line.
And
the
filling
in
Jacob
indicates
to
the
Hochma
in
the
Partzuf.
Also,
Tifferet
and
Yesod
as
one
are
Vav;
hence
Jacob
is
written
with
a
Vav,
to
point
to
his
bond
with
Yesod,
which
is
his
completion.
This
verse
was
said
about
the
exile
of
Israel,
that
they
will
be
absent
from
the
exile
in
the
Vav,
in
the
sixth
millennium,
implying
that
Jacob,
the
children
of
Israel,
will
be
redeemed
in
the
Vav.
477)
The
commandment
concerning
the
Vav
is
six
and
a
half
minutes.
Vav,
Tifferet,
is
the
middle
bar
called
“the
door-bolt,”
which
bolts
inside
the
boards
from
one
end
to
the
other.
And
at
the
sixtieth
year
to
the
bar
of
the
door,
in
the
sixth
millennium,
the
God
of
heaven
will
raise
a
count
for
the
daughter
of
Jacob.
And
it
will
take
six
and
a
half
years
from
that
time
until
she
has
remembering.
This
is
the
length
of
time
of
the
visit.
And
from
that
time,
it
will
take
six
other
years,
which
is
the
length
of
time
of
remembering,
and
they
are
seventy-two
and
a
half
years.
Every
illumination
appears
in
Katnut
and
in
Gadlut.
It
begins
in
Katnut,
VAK,
which
shines
only
from
below
upward—female
light—and
this
disclosure
is
called
“a
visit.”
Subsequently,
the
Gadlut
appears,
the
light
of
GAR,
which
shines
from
above
downward.
This
revelation
is
called
“remembering,”
“male
light,”
and
the
sign
is
that
the
female’s
face
turns
upward,
and
the
male’s
face
turns
downward.
This
is
why
the
birth
of
Isaac
begins
with
the
words
“Then
the
Lord
visited
Sarah,”
which
is
female
light,
called
“visiting,”
when
she
was
still
unfit
for
delivery,
until
the
remembering
was
extended
to
her.
This
is
why
it
is
written
a
second
time,
“And
the
Lord
did
for
Sarah
as
He
had
promised,”
which
is
the
remembering.
This
is
so
because
it
mentions
action
here,
and
action
is
considered
male,
since
there
is
no
action
in
female
light
because
a
woman
is
the
ground
of
the
world.
Also,
in
the
future
redemption,
when
the
Vav
raises
the
bottom
Hey
in
the
complete
and
great
light,
as
it
is
written,
“And
the
light
of
the
moon
shall
be
as
the
light
of
the
sun,”
the
count
of
this
great
light
will
appear
first,
and
then
the
remembering.
The
count,
which
is
extended
in
the
matter
of
the
Vav,
will
shine
for
only
six
minutes,
HGT
NHY,
which
shine
in
her
by
mingling
with
the
male,
while
with
respect
to
herself,
she
has
only
half
a
time,
meaning
half
the
Malchut,
only
from
the
Chazeh
and
above
in
her,
and
not
from
the
Chazeh
downward.
This
is
so
because
she
is
still
in
the
form
of
visiting,
namely
female
light,
which
does
not
shine
from
above
downward;
hence,
half
a
moment
is
missing
in
her,
meaning
from
the
Chazeh
downward.
And
for
this
reason,
the
years
of
the
count
will
be
six
and
a
half
years,
from
sixty
years
to
sixty-six
and
a
half.
Then
the
light
of
remembering,
the
male
light,
will
appear
from
the
Vav,
and
the
Messiah
King,
who
is
male,
Vav
will
be
revealed,
and
his
illumination
will
last
six
other
years.
478)
In
sixty-six
years
will
the
Messiah
King
be
revealed
in
the
land
of
the
Galilee.
This
is
the
Messiah
Son
of
Joseph.
Hence,
the
place
of
his
revelation
is
the
Galilee,
the
lot
of
Joseph.
And
when
a
star
on
the
east
will
swallow
seven
stars
on
the
north,
and
a
blaze
of
black
fire
will
hang
in
the
firmament
for
sixty
days,
wars
will
awaken
in
the
world
on
the
north
side,
and
two
kings
will
fall
in
these
wars.
479)
And
all
the
peoples
will
come
together
over
the
daughter
of
Jacob
to
repel
her
from
the
world.
It
is
written
about
that
time,
“It
is
a
time
of
trouble
to
Jacob,
but
he
will
be
saved
from
it.”
At
that
time,
all
the
souls
will
perish
from
a
body
and
will
have
to
return
and
be
renewed,
as
it
is
written,
“All
the
souls
belonging
to
Jacob
that
came
into
Egypt,”
all
sixty-six
souls.
Prior
to
the
future,
complete
redemption,
there
were
redemptions
from
Egypt
and
from
Babylon
by
the
force
of
the
lights
and
vessels
of
Ima.
But
Malchut
herself
had
had
no
redemption
yet,
in
and
of
herself.
This
is
the
meaning
of
the
rainbow,
in
which
only
three
colors
shine—white,
red,
and
green
(HGT)—while
her
black
color
does
not
shine,
since
Malchut
has
nothing
of
her
own.
Instead,
she
needs
to
receive
from
ZA,
her
husband,
who
gives
her
from
the
lights
and
vessels
of
Ima.
But
complete
redemption
means
that
Malchut
herself
will
be
built
with
her
own
vessels
and
lights,
and
will
no
longer
need
to
receive
the
lights
and
vessels
of
Ima
from
ZA,
as
it
is
written,
“And
the
light
of
the
moon
will
be
as
the
light
of
the
sun.”
As
in
Malchut’s
previous
redemptions,
Malchut
is
built
in
three
lines,
and
then
she
herself
is
built—the
vessel
of
reception
of
the
three
lines.
Similarly,
in
the
future
redemption,
the
light
of
redemption
must
correct
the
Malchut
one
at
a
time
in
three
lines,
and
then
her
own
self,
which
receives
from
three
lines.
Subsequently,
she
will
have
all
the
perfection
suitable
for
the
complete
coupling,
which
are
the
five
phases
of
correction.
This
leads
to
a
succession
of
times:
In
the
first
correction—from
sixty
years
to
sixty-six
and
a
half—the
right
line
in
her
will
be
corrected
in
the
light
of
counting.
In
the
second
correction—from
sixty-six
to
seventy-three
years—the
left
line
in
her
will
be
corrected
in
the
light
of
remembering.
Hence,
at
that
time,
the
Messiah
Son
of
Joseph
will
appear
in
the
land
of
the
Galilee,
and
all
the
signs
at
that
time
come
from
the
judgments,
which
apply
during
the
illumination
of
the
left.
In
the
third
correction—from
seventy-three
years
to
one
hundred
years—corrects
the
middle
line
in
her,
by
which
the
Messiah
Son
of
David
will
appear.
The
fourth
correction—her
own
phase,
to
receive
all
that
there
is
in
the
three
lines—is
from
one
hundred
years
to
the
end
of
the
sixth
millennium,
in
a
coupling
of
the
Vav
in
the
bottom
Hey.
And
all
the
old
souls
that
came
out
since
the
days
of
the
creation
of
the
world
through
the
end
of
the
sixth
millennium
will
then
receive
complete
renewal.
The
fifth
correction—the
seventh
millennium,
when
Malchut
is
completed
in
its
entirety—will
be
one
day
for
the
Creator,
for
one
coupling
for
begetting
new
souls,
which
have
never
existed
since
the
day
of
the
creation
of
the
world
through
the
seventh
millennium.
In
sixty-six
years,
the
Messiah
King—who
is
the
Messiah,
Son
of
Joseph,
who
appears
in
his
domain—will
appear
in
the
land
of
the
Galilee,
and
his
time
is
seven
years
through
seventy-three
years.
He
comes
to
correct
with
the
light
of
remembering,
the
half
of
Malchut
that
is
still
missing
in
the
light
of
counting,
whose
time
is
six
and
a
half
years,
since
it
is
light
of
VAK.
And
now
that
the
light
of
remembering—which
is
GAR—has
arrived,
the
Messiah,
Son
of
Joseph,
appeared
first,
to
correct
the
whole
of
the
left
line—seven
years.
This
indicates
that
the
Malchut
has
been
completely
corrected,
even
from
the
Chazeh
and
below.
In
the
previous
redemptions,
her
left
line
was
corrected
only
by
her
ascent
to
Ima,
who
received
the
left
line
of
Ima.
But
now
her
own
left
line
will
be
corrected
in
her
place
below,
and
she
no
longer
needs
the
left
line
of
Ima.
This
is
why
it
was
said,
“When
a
star
from
the
east
swallows
seven
stars
from
the
north,”
since
of
the
four
winds—HB
TM—Bina
is
on
the
north
and
Tifferet
is
on
the
east.
Remembering
is
that
the
light
of
the
Vav,
Tifferet,
the
star
on
the
east,
will
correct
the
Malchut
in
the
left
line
herself.
By
this
it
revokes
the
left
side
of
Ima,
the
north
side,
which
was
in
the
structure
of
Malchut
thus
far.
It
is
perceived
as
swallowing
the
seven
stars
of
Bina
into
it,
which
are
the
seven
Sefirot
HGT
NHYM
included
in
the
left
line.
“And
a
blaze
of
black
fire
will
hang
in
the
firmament
for
sixty
days.”
Judgments
that
come
to
the
world
by
the
illumination
of
the
left
are
called
“a
blaze
of
fire.”
Thus
far,
the
blaze
was
a
red-colored
fire,
from
Bina
and
not
from
Malchut.
This
is
because
the
four
colors—white,
red,
green,
and
black—are
HB
TM,
where
red
is
Bina.
But
now
that
the
Malchut
has
obtained
lights
and
vessels
from
her
own
phase,
and
the
left
line
is
drawn
for
her
in
her
own
vessels,
which
is
the
color
black,
the
blaze
of
fire
that
comes
by
the
illumination
of
the
left
is
of
the
color
black.
This
is
why
it
is
said
that
a
flame
of
black
fire
will
hang
in
the
firmament.
The
number
sixty
days
is
sixty
mighty
men,
as
this
is
what
the
illumination
of
the
left
is
called.
Although
it
is
the
light
of
GAR,
it
is
still
only
GAR
in
VAK,
where
each
edge
consists
of
ten,
and
they
are
sixty.
Also,
days
are
Sefirot.
And
wars
will
awaken
in
the
world
on
the
north
side,
for
by
the
force
of
the
judgments
in
the
illumination
of
the
left,
wars
will
be
drawn
into
the
world.
And
because
the
east
will
then
swallow
the
north,
the
judgments
will
stretch
from
the
east
to
the
north,
as
well.
“And
two
kings
will
fall
in
these
wars,”
one
from
the
nations
of
the
world
and
one
from
Israel,
which
is
the
Messiah
Son
of
Joseph.
And
all
the
peoples
will
come
together
over
the
daughter
of
Jacob
to
repel
her
from
the
world.
After
the
fall
of
the
Messiah
Son
of
Joseph,
the
nations
will
greatly
intensify
and
will
want
to
repel
Israel
from
the
world,
as
it
is
written,
“It
is
a
time
of
trouble
unto
Jacob,
but
he
will
be
saved
from
it.”
This
means
that
those
judgments
and
troubles
will
not
come
as
punishments,
but
so
as
to
afterwards
become
vessels
for
the
complete
salvation.
This
is
the
meaning
of
“He
will
be
saved
from
it.”
By
the
judgments
and
the
troubles
that
they
will
suffer
at
that
time,
the
power
of
the
souls
that
were
once
in
a
body
will
be
emptied,
and
not
only
the
souls
from
that
generation,
but
the
souls
from
all
the
generations
that
were
once
in
a
body
since
the
day
of
the
creation
of
the
world.
All
of
them
will
weaken
and
their
force
will
run
out,
meaning
that
they
will
need
to
(and
must)
be
renewed.
480)
In
seventy-three
years,
seven
years
after
the
disclosure
of
the
Messiah
Son
of
Joseph,
all
the
kings
of
the
world
will
gather
in
the
big
city
of
Rome,
and
the
Creator
will
awaken
upon
them
fire
and
hail
and
crystal
stones,
and
they
will
perish
from
the
world.
And
only
those
kings
that
did
not
come
to
Rome
will
remain
in
the
world
and
will
later
return
to
wage
other
wars.
At
that
time,
the
Messiah
King
will
awaken
throughout
the
world
and
several
nations
and
several
armies
will
gather
to
him
from
all
corners
of
the
world,
and
all
the
children
of
Israel
will
gather
in
their
places.
Here
is
where
the
middle
line
is
established,
which
is
about
the
subjugation
of
the
left
so
as
to
be
included
in
the
right
line,
as
well
as
the
right
in
the
left.
Then
the
degree
is
completed
on
all
sides.
In
the
seventy-third
year,
seven
years
after
the
revelation
of
the
Messiah
Son
of
Joseph,
all
the
kings
of
the
world,
all
those
whose
strength
is
from
the
left,
will
gather
in
the
big
city
of
Rome,
which
is
the
head
of
all
the
forces
of
the
left.
The
Creator
will
awaken
upon
them
fire
and
hail
and
crystal
stones,
and
they
will
perish
from
the
world
through
the
illumination
of
the
middle
line,
and
all
the
judgments
will
be
canceled
and
the
forces
of
the
left
will
perish
from
the
world.
Only
those
kings
that
did
not
come
to
Rome
will
remain
in
the
world,
those
who
are
extended
from
the
shells
of
the
right,
who
did
not
come
to
Rome,
which
is
left.
They
will
return
later
to
wage
other
wars,
since
during
the
fourth
correction,
the
time
for
the
forces
of
the
right
to
fight
against
Israel
will
come.
At
that
time,
the
Messiah
King
will
awaken,
the
Messiah
Son
of
David,
who
is
extended
from
the
middle
line.
Hence,
his
time
to
appear
has
come,
along
with
his
correction.
And
then
begins
the
ingathering
of
the
exiles,
and
they
will
gather
in
their
places
to
go
to
Jerusalem.
But
they
will
not
go
before
the
arrival
of
the
fourth
correction,
the
correction
of
the
Malchut
that
will
receive
the
illumination
of
the
three
lines
within
her.
And
then
all
of
Israel
will
gather
and
come
to
Jerusalem.
481)
Until
the
years
were
completed
and
came
to
one
hundred
years
in
the
sixth
millennium.
Then
the
Vav
will
bond
with
the
bottom
Hey,
bestowing
the
corrections
of
the
three
lines
upon
the
bottom
Hey,
Malchut,
meaning
the
fourth
correction.
Then
it
is
written,
“They
shall
bring
all
your
brothers
from
all
the
nations
as
an
offering
to
the
Lord,”
and
then
will
be
the
ingathering
of
the
exiles.
And
the
children
of
Ishmael—the
head
of
all
the
forces
of
the
shells
from
the
right
(as
is
Rome
with
the
forces
of
the
left)—will
awaken
at
that
time,
along
with
all
the
peoples
of
the
world
who
did
not
come
to
Rome,
to
come
to
Jerusalem
for
war,
as
it
is
written,
“For
I
will
gather
all
nations
against
Jerusalem
to
battle.”
It
is
also
written,
“The
kings
of
the
earth
will
take
their
stand,
and
the
rulers
take
counsel
together
against
the
Lord
and
against
his
Messiah.”
It
is
also
written,
“He
who
sits
in
the
heavens
will
laugh.”
482)
After
all
the
forces
of
the
Sitra
Achra
on
the
right
and
on
the
left
are
gone,
the
small
Vav
will
awaken,
Yesod
of
ZA,
to
connect
with
the
bottom
Hey
and
to
renew
the
old
souls,
meaning
all
those
who
were
in
a
body
since
the
time
of
the
creation
of
the
world
until
then,
so
as
to
renew
the
world,
Malchut,
as
it
is
written,
“Let
the
Lord
rejoice
in
His
works.”
It
is
also
written,
“May
the
glory
of
the
Lord
endure
forever,”
so
the
bottom
Hey
will
connect
with
the
Vav,
as
it
should
be.
“Let
the
Lord
rejoice
in
His
works”
to
bring
down
His
deeds,
which
are
the
souls
that
were
renewed
to
the
world,
so
they
will
all
be
new
creations
and
all
the
worlds
will
connect
as
one.
483)
Happy
are
all
those
who
will
remain
in
the
world
at
the
end
of
the
sixth
millennium,
to
enter
the
Sabbath,
which
is
the
seventh
millennium.
This
is
because
then
it
is
one
day,
for
the
Lord
alone,
to
properly
make
a
coupling
with
the
bottom
Hey
and
to
assemble
new
souls
to
bestow
upon
the
world,
meaning
souls
that
have
never
been
to
the
world.
They
will
be
in
the
world
along
with
the
old
souls
that
remained
from
the
beginning
and
were
renewed,
as
it
is
written,
“And
it
shall
come
to
pass
that
he
that
is
left
in
Zion,
and
he
that
remains
in
Jerusalem
shall
be
called
‘holy,’
even
every
one
that
is
written
unto
life
in
Jerusalem.”
