Kabbalah for Obadiah 1:21

וְעָל֤וּ מֽוֹשִׁעִים֙ בְּהַ֣ר צִיּ֔וֹן לִשְׁפֹּ֖ט אֶת־הַ֣ר עֵשָׂ֑ו וְהָיְתָ֥ה לַֽיהוָ֖ה הַמְּלוּכָֽה׃

And saviours shall come up on mount Zion To judge the mount of Esau; And the kingdom shall be the LORD’S.

Zohar

At that point, it is written, "And liberators shall ascend upon mount Zion to judge the mountain of Esau; and the kingdom shall be Hashem's" (Ibid.). The kingdom that Esau received in this world shall be for the Holy One, blessed be He, alone. Did this kingdom not already belong to the Holy One, blessed be He? Although the Holy One, blessed be He, rules above and below, He lets other peoples rule, giving each a part and inheritance in this world for their use. At that time He will take the kingdom from them all, and it will be solely His, as it is written, "And Hashem shall be king over all the earth, on that day Hashem shall be One, and His name One" (Zecharyah 14:9). "And Jacob was scarce gone out (lit. 'went out going')" (Beresheet 27:30): Rabbi Shimon said, "went out, going" refers to two goings out. Why? Because
