Kabbalah sa Obadias 1:21: Sha'arei Orah & Avodat HaKodesh (Ibn Gabbai)

וְעָל֤וּ מֽוֹשִׁעִים֙ בְּהַ֣ר צִיּ֔וֹן לִשְׁפֹּ֖ט אֶת־הַ֣ר עֵשָׂ֑ו וְהָיְתָ֥ה לַֽיהוָ֖ה הַמְּלוּכָֽה׃

At aakyat ang mga tagapagligtas sa Bundok ng Zion upang hatulan ang bundok ng Esau, at ang paghahari ay mapapasa Walang-Hanggan.

Sha'arei Orah

Now that you know this, contemplate what the prophets established in two places. The prophet Ovadia, the Edomite convert, said a prophecy about Edom,42Obadiah 1:21 “And saviors will ascend Mount Zion-Har Tziyon-הר ציון 43As mentioned in Gate Two (Yesod), Zion-Tziyon-ציון-156 (which has the numerical value of Yosef-יוסף-156) refers to the Sefirah of Yesod, and as it ascends and unifies with the quality of Understanding-Binah, it is called the Mountain of Zion-Tziyon-Har Tziyon-הר ציון, as mentioned in Gate Eight. to judge the Mount of Esav,44As mentioned in the Second Gate, the Mount of Esav-Har Eisav-הר עשו also called the Mount of Se’ir-Har Sei’ir-הר שעיר, refers to the mountains of darkness and the demons called the goat-demons-Se’ir-שעיר. See there at length. and the Kingdom45That is, the Sefirah of Kingship-Malchut, which is His title of Lordship-Adona”y-אדנ״י will then be unified with the Name HaShem-יהו״ה. will be HaShem’s-יהו״ה.”46That is, upon the reunification of the Sefirah of Foundation-Yesod with the Sefirah of Kingship-Malchut, that is, HaShem-יהו״ה with Lord-Adona”y-אדנ״י, that is, the Holy One, blessed is He, with His Shechinah, which is called the Ingathering of Israel-Knesset Yisroel-כנסת ישראל, it then will be called “The Mountain of HaShem-Har HaShem-הר יהו״ה,” as discussed in the Second Gate. The prophet Zachariah said,47Zachariah 14:2-14:9 “I will gather all the nations to Jerusalem for war… and HaShem-יהו״ה will go out and wage war against those nations, as He waged war on the day of battle… and [then] HaShem will be King over all the earth (Aretz-ארץ); On that day HaShem will be One-HaShem Echad-יהו״ה אחד and His Name One-u’Shmo Echad-ושמו אחד.”48And it will no longer be possible to cause a separation between His title of Lordship-Adona”y-אדנ״י and the Bearer of that title, the Singular Preexistent Intrinsic Essential and Unlimited Being, HaShem-יהו״ה Himself, blessed is He and blessed is His Name. See at great length in Ginat Egoz of Rabbi Yosef Gikatilla, translated as HaShem Is One, Vol. 1, The Gate of Intrinsic Being (Shaar HaHavayah), The Gate of His Title (Shaar HaKinuy), and The Gate of His Sanctuary (Shaar HaHeichal). It also states,49Numbers 24:20 “The first of the nations is Amalek,” and,50Exodus 17:16 “For a hand is [raised in oath] on the throne of Ya”h-י״ה: HaShem-יהו״ה maintains a war against Amalek, from generation to generation.”

Sha'arei Orah

Whoever understands this will understand the secret of the verse,72Exodus 17:16 “For a hand is [raised in oath] on the throne of Ya”h-י״ה: HaShem-יהו״ה maintains a war,” and the secret of the verse,73Obadiah 1:21 “The Kingdom will be HaShem’s-יהו״ה,” and the secret of the verse,74Zachariah 14:9 “On that day HaShem will be One-HaShem Echad-יהו״ה אחד and His Name One-u’Shmo Echad-ושמו אחד,” with the complete Name HaShem-יהו״ה, that is, the Yod-Hey-י״ה united with the Vav-Hey-ו״ה.

Avodat HaKodesh (Ibn Gabbai)

And in Midrash Yilamdenu, there is a traditional account that Esau will fall by the hand of Rachel's children, as it is stated:surely the least of the flock shall drag them away (Jeremiah 49:20), which are the youngest of [Jacob's sons]. And this is according to the [exact] measure of the law, since the children would take vengeance for their mother. And our rabbis, may their memory be blessed, said, "[God's name will not be complete nor His throne complete until the name of Amalek be blotted out. But when his name is blotted out then will His name be complete and His throne complete, as it is stated: The enemy is come to an end, he whose swords were forever (Psalms 9:7). And after this, it is written: But the Lord shall now remain forever (Psalms 9:8)." And the intention is that Amalek caused that the name and the throne be lacking and put a defect in both of them. For it distanced the Ruler of the world, as this is its power. It put a defect in the moon on account of its seductions. And this is [the meaning of] their saying, "When the serpent had intercourse with Eve, he put pollution into her." And in Midrash Yilamdenu (Midrash Tanchuma, Ki Teitzeh 11:1): As long as the seed of Amalek remains alive in the world, it is as though a wing is hiding [God's] face. When the seed of Amalek has passed from the world, [God's] name will be complete." The intention here is that Amalek is the reason for the hiding of the Face of Mercy from shining on the desired land, and it is a cloud that separates between the Heavens and the earth. So it covers over the shining Face, until the one comes who brings judgment and destroys the spirit of impurity. And the kingdom will be the Lord's (Ovadiah 1:21). For the uncircumcised and the unclean shall never enter her again (alluding to Isaiah 52:1). And that will be when the seed of Amalek, which causes the distance and the division, will be erased. And then the Lord will be king upon all the earth — specifically upon the earth — on that day the Lord shall be one and His name shall be one (Zechariah 14:9). And this is essentially what I saw to explain about the secret of the throne.
