I Reis 19:12 Cabalá: Sha'arei Kedusha & The Beginning

Nevertheless, because he was “in heaven” he was also in a state of adhesion and prophetic gazing, as written,⁸⁸⁸Ezekiel 1:1 “The heavens opened and I saw visions of God.” However, when he arrived at the place of the external shells of Kelipah, he had no pleasure in adhering to them, but rather tore through and passed them by, without adhering to them, but only seeing them in passing, to the extent necessary. This is the meaning of what it states about Eliyahu, who is remembered for good,⁸⁸⁹Kings I 19:11-12 “And behold, HaShem-יהו״ה was passing, and a great powerful wind, smashing mountains and breaking rocks, went before HaShem-יהו״ה. ‘HaShem-יהו״ה is not in the wind!’ [Eliyahu was told]. After the wind came an earthquake. ‘HaShem-יהו״ה is not in the earthquake!’ After the earthquake came a fire. ‘HaShem-יהו״ה is not in the fire.’”

218. There are four general Kelipot, which are alluded to in Ezekiel’s vision, as written,²⁹⁹Ezekiel 1:1-4. “And I saw and behold a storm wind coming from the north, a great cloud, and a roaring fire encompassed by a glow.”
They are also alluded to in Eliyahu's vision,³⁰⁰Kings I 19:12-13. Ruach – Wind, Ra'ash – Earthquake, Esh – Fire, within which He was not revealed, plus a Kol Dmama Daka – a still small voice.³⁰¹According to the GRA, the earthquake in Eliyahu’s vision is interchangeable with the cloud in Yechezkiel’s vision.
