다니엘 11:11의 유대 사상

Blessed be the exalted name of the one and only God, the God of the world, who dwells forever and sits eternally. Selah. He does not change for those who draw near to Him or for the creatures who exist for His glory, in the hands of the honored ones. As the psalmist said (Psalms 148:5), "For He commanded, and they were created." I will give you a parable with the celestial bodies, for the stars of the great sphere that encompasses their movement are all equal in their distance from one another, always and forever. And the movement of the seven ministers also stands on one path, each in its own sphere, only their movements in relation to the fixedness of the earth vary. Some of them go straight in their course, some run swiftly, some pause, some stand still, and some move backward. Their system is ever-changing, without end. At times they come together, and at times they separate. Sometimes they move without looking, and sometimes with seven glances. Sometimes they rise and descend, in large and small cycles. Sometimes they move in a straight line (the zodiac), and sometimes to the left or right. They themselves do not change, increase, diminish, or add to their light, except in relation to the appearance of the eye and the moon, which change based on their distance from the sun. Whatever happens to the celestial ministers, more or less, affects all these mentioned things. Similarly, others also change, all the creatures born on Earth, from the sources, plants, and living beings. It is impossible to find a consistent system lasting thousands of thousands of years. Thus, it is written in the Book of Formation, "Until eleven, the mouth cannot speak, nor can the ear hear." Therefore, in this number, even with many days of sand, since there is nothing on Earth that stands except for the soul of man alone, the exalted name is not mentioned in the work of creation, only the word "Elohim" is used, which is also called by their name, like the bees that call their language and tongue. Therefore, our sages said, "The full name is called on the full world, and called 'with God' until Cain was born." And when Eve saw that a man was born, she said, "I have acquired a man with the Lord." And for this reason, Moses did not mention his name to Pharaoh, only the exalted name, the God of the Hebrews, who had the power to perform miracles in the land, was mentioned. Therefore, you will not find this name in the Book of Ecclesiastes, for it speaks of the wisdom of God and the power that He gave to all. It was not present in Moses. Therefore, Jethro said, "Now I know that the Lord is greater than all the gods," referring to the name. He is the God of gods, sometimes referred to by His essence and sometimes by His title. The Lord of Hosts and His throne are called by His name, as it is written in the Chronicles and explicitly mentioned in the book of Samuel. Why is He called by this name? Because "the name of the Lord of Hosts is seated on the cherubim" (2 Samuel 6:2), as it is also written, "I AM WHO I AM" (Exodus 3:14). Similarly, it is said, "Like the light of seven days" (Isaiah 30:26), meaning sevenfold, indicating that each day added more light until the seventh day when it stood complete. And likewise, "He will fight with the king of the North" (Daniel 11:11), and "from within it, a likeness with the appearance of amber, from within the fire" (Ezekiel 1:4).
