כִּ֣י זֹ֣את הַבְּרִ֡ית אֲשֶׁ֣ר אֶכְרֹת֩ אֶת־בֵּ֨ית יִשְׂרָאֵ֜ל אַחֲרֵ֨י הַיָּמִ֤ים הָהֵם֙ נְאֻם־יְהוָ֔ה נָתַ֤תִּי אֶת־תּֽוֹרָתִי֙ בְּקִרְבָּ֔ם וְעַל־לִבָּ֖ם אֶכְתֲּבֶ֑נָּה וְהָיִ֤יתִי לָהֶם֙ לֵֽאלֹהִ֔ים וְהֵ֖מָּה יִֽהְיוּ־לִ֥י לְעָֽם׃
Sebab inilah perjanjian yang akan Kuadakan dengan kaum Israel sesudah masa itu, demikianlah firman Yang Mahakekal: Aku akan menaruh Taurat-Ku di dalam batin mereka dan menuliskannya di hati mereka; Aku akan menjadi Allah mereka, dan mereka akan menjadi umat-Ku.

And with this we have found, on the contrary, that all the time the world [is] in the corruption from the filth of the serpent and the husk, the emanated entities are not connecting themselves as is proper, and His Divinity is not revealed and the knowledge in the people of Israel has completely come to an end, until He shows mercy from the heavens and the world will rise from the filth of the serpent and will be arranged as is proper; and then the world will return to its [proper] arrangement, and His divinity will reveal itself in the lower ones [= degrees] as is suitable and proper, and the sons of man will increase strength5An allusion to Job 17:9 with their knowledge of Him. And then it is said (Jeremiah 31:33): “And man will not teach his neighbor etc., …. because they all, from small to great, will know Me”. And then the light of the Torah will reveal itself and its hidden things and its mysteries as is fitting and as is proper, and the emanated entities will connect themselves [in] perfect union, as Scripture establishes, as it is written (Zechariah 14:9): “And HaShem will be king for all the earth, on that day HaShem will be one and His name one”.

The general is the entire humanity that must, under absolute obligation, eventually reach this grand evolutionary state, as said, “for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea” (Isaiah 11:9), “and they shall teach no more every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord; for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest of them” (Jeremiah 31:34), and also, “yet your teacher shall not withdraw himself any more, but your eyes shall see your teacher” (Isaiah 30:20).

Complete attainment
10. As we have already said, complete cleaving and complete attainment is divided into one hundred twenty-five general levels. According to this, we cannot attain all one hundred twenty-five levels before the Messianic era. There are two differences between all generations and the Messianic generation. The first is that only during the Messianic era can one achieve all one hundred twenty-five levels, unlike during all other generations. The second is that throughout the generations, only few exceptional people merited attaining and cleaving, as the sages have commented on the verse, “One man among a thousand I have found” (Ecclesiastes 7:28): “out of a thousand who entered a school… only one emerges who is capable of rendering decisions [pertaining to religious matters]” (Rashi and Kohelet Rabbah on Ecclesiastes 7:28), that is, of cleaving and understanding. But during the Messianic era, everyone can attain cleaving and understanding, as they have said, “for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord” (Isaiah 11:9), “and they shall teach no more every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord; for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest of them” (Jeremiah 31:34).
