Kabbalah sa Daniel 10:21: Sha'arei Orah

Moreover, the angelic ministers of the nations do not at all assist the Jewish people, as stated,³⁵⁷Daniel 10:21 “No one strengthens me against these except your ministering angel Michael.” This is certainly so when Samael, the ministering angel of Edom, stands in constant prosecution of the Jewish people, accusing them and attempting to blot out their merits. When the Jewish people are in the land of the nations, all the angelic ministers of the nations stand against them, and are positioned between the earth and the heavens, like a wall and partition, to separate the Jewish people from their Father in heaven. They therefore are called “a separating cloud-Anan HaMafseek-ענן המפסיק,” about which it states,³⁵⁸Lamentations 3:44 “You wrapped Yourself in a cloud-Anan-ענן that prayer cannot pierce.”
