Kabbalah for Deuteronomy 4:4

And regarding the general aspect of kavod [honor/glory] that we explained, in both the Tanna deBei Elyiahu and in the midrash (Bamidbar Rabbah 5:9) - and this is the text: "Elyiahu says: they gathered and went to war, and 50 thousand men fell, and the Great Sanhedrin fell with them, who killed them? I say, the only ones who killed them were the men of Beit Shemesh since they saw the Ark, and therefore the text warned the family of Kohat "and they should not come see" (Bamidbar 4:20). The Holy Blessed One said: just as I did to the children of Kohat, that they would have awe of Me, I gave honor and distributed honor to them, and I warned that they shold save their souls from death, so too, I give honor to every one who has awe for Me and I do not cut that person's name from the world. From whom do you learn this? From the sons of Yonadav ben Rechav because they did My will. What is written about them? "There shall never cease to be a man of the line of Yonadav son of Rechab standing before Me" (Jeremiah 35:19), and just as those, who were gerim and I did this to them, all the more so Israel, who are the children of My beloveds, My friends, when they do My will they will stand in My presence forever, as it is written "If only you would heed My commands, then your peace would be like a river, your triumph like the waves of the sea." (Isaiah 48:18) and also "and all of you who cling to Ad-nai your God are all alive today" (Deut. 4:4), until here the text.

As it says in the Zohar in Lech Lecha: 414. Hence the words, “from my flesh shall I see Eloha,” REFERRING TO THE NAME ELOHA, represent overall completion, because it is “from my flesh,” my own – WHICH IS YESOD THAT IS CALLED FLESH – the actual sign of the covenant. Therefore, happy are the holy Yisrael who are united with the Holy One, blessed be He; happy is their portion in this world and the World to Come. Of them, it is written: “You that cleave to Hashem your Elohim are alive every one of you this day” (Devarim 4:4).”...

And as it says in Vayikra: “229. But Yisrael, holy children to holy people by stock and root, who were perfumed on Mount Sinai and entered the complete, holy Faith, when they are circumcised, they abide everywhere, NAMELY IN ZEIR ANPIN AND MALCHUT CALLED DAY AND NIGHT, as written, “But you that did cleave to Hashem your Elohim are alive every one of you this day” (Devarim 4:4).” May the Creator give us merit to be those who guard His Brit and His Mitzvot and to cleave to Him.

Rabbi Simeon said: In one place it is written, “For the Lord thy God is a consuming fire” {Deut. 4:24}, and elsewhere, “But ye that cleave unto the Lord your God are alive every one of you this day” {Deut. 4:4}. The Companions have already discussed the seeming inconsistency between these texts, but I offer yet another interpretation. It has been affirmed by the Companions that there exists a sort of fire which is stronger than other fire, and the one consumes and annihilates the other.

And though it be in the nature of the blue or black light to destroy whatever it touches beneath, yet Israel, cleaving to it from beneath, are not destroyed; so it is said, “But ye that cleave unto the Lord your God are alive every one of you this day.” Your God and not our God; that is to say, it is the blue or black flame, consuming and annihilating whatever cleaves to it from below, and still you cleave and are alive.
