וְלֹ֧א יְלַמְּד֣וּ ע֗וֹד אִ֣ישׁ אֶת־רֵעֵ֜הוּ וְאִ֤ישׁ אֶת־אָחִיו֙ לֵאמֹ֔ר דְּע֖וּ אֶת־יְהוָ֑ה כִּֽי־כוּלָּם֩ יֵדְע֨וּ אוֹתִ֜י לְמִקְטַנָּ֤ם וְעַד־גְּדוֹלָם֙ נְאֻם־יְהוָ֔ה כִּ֤י אֶסְלַח֙ לַֽעֲוֺנָ֔ם וּלְחַטָּאתָ֖ם לֹ֥א אֶזְכָּר־עֽוֹד׃ (ס)
Mereka tidak akan lagi saling mengajar, setiap orang kepada sesamanya dan setiap orang kepada saudaranya, dengan berkata: “Kenallah Yang Mahakekal!” Sebab mereka semua akan mengenal Aku, dari yang terkecil sampai yang terbesar di antara mereka, demikianlah firman Yang Mahakekal; sebab Aku akan mengampuni kesalahan mereka dan tidak akan mengingat dosa mereka lagi.

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).
Ma'amar Zohar HaRakia
Regarding the matter of misquoted verses in the Book of the Zohar, this is in truth evidence for and a great proof to the authenticity of the Book of the Zohar, that it is not, heaven forbid, any sort of forgery for if it were the forger would quote the verses in their proper form lest he raise upon [his forgery] difficulties and questions due to the changes and combinations [of verses]. The question concerning the changes to verses needn't be explained for in all the works of the Talmudic Sages and the two Talmuds and the Midrashim we find hundreds of cases of such things because the Talmudic Sages only wrote what was needed for their expositions and many times they shortened or combined verses as Tosafot wrote in Shabbos (128a s.v. and he gave) on the verse "and he shall give the money and acquire the field" that is the way of the Talmud to shorten [verses] and in the Tosafos Megillah (3a s.v and he slept) that it is the way of the Talmud to shorten verses and to combine them. See there [for his comment.] So too in the Book of the Zohar and in the Mishneh Torah of Maimonides you find many verses that are misquoted and combinations of verses. In my notes on the Zohar (Leviticus 23a) which brings the verse "a man and his brother, a man and his fellow" (Jeremiah 31:34) I noted that the verse is written "a man and his fellow, a man and his brother" and in Maimonides's laws of Repentance (Chapter 9 halacha 2) he quotes the verse as the Zohar does. Also see Tosafos on Eruvin 2a s.v. as is written.

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).
