Kabbalah zu Jeschijahu 40:17

כָּל־הַגּוֹיִ֖ם כְּאַ֣יִן נֶגְדּ֑וֹ מֵאֶ֥פֶס וָתֹ֖הוּ נֶחְשְׁבוּ־לֽוֹ׃

All die Völker sind wie ein Nichts vor ihm, nichtig und leer sind sie ihm geachtet.

Zohar

This is true for a woman who comes from the aspect of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, but if she is from the Shechinah she remains unchanged. This is the meaning of, "For I am Hashem, I do not change" (Malachi 3:6). "I" is the Shechinah, who has no fear from the other sides [ i.e. the kelipot]. This is the meaning of, "All nations before Him are as nothing" (Isaiah 40:17).

Zohar

We should have a closer look at this verse, now. It is written: "All the nations are as nothing before Him" (Isaiah 40:17). What is so special about this? He answers Rather, "Who would not fear You, O King of the nations?" (Jer. 10:7) is He the King of the other nations, and not the King of Yisrael?! The Holy One, blessed be He, wishes to be glorified by Yisrael. Therefore, He is always called in relation to the name of Yisrael, as is written, "Elohim of Yisrael," "Elohim of the Hebrews" (Ex. 5:3). Also it is written: "Thus says Hashem, the King of Yisrael" (Isaiah 44:6) - the King of Yisrael explicitly! The other nations of the world said, We have a different Guardian up in the heavens, because your King governs over you alone, and not over us.
