Kabbalah sa Obadias 1:4: Sha'arei Orah

Now, what it says about Edom,²⁵⁹Obadiah 1:4 “If you rise like an eagle and if you place your nest amongst the stars, from there I will bring you down, declares HaShem-יהו"ה,” is because he has an angelic minister called Samael-סמא"ל who gives the goat-demons their power and soul-Nefesh-נפש to the planetary influence of Mars-Maadim-מאדים. Nonetheless, he is not counted amongst the seventy ministering angels, who exist at their post for the duration of the world. The verse therefore states,²⁶⁰Exodus 17:16 “HaShem-יהו"ה wages war against Amalek from generation to generation.” This is the meaning of the verse,²⁶¹Psalms 135:13 “HaShem-יהו"ה is Your memorial from generation to generation,” and the verse,²⁶²Exodus 3:15 “This is My memorial from generation to generation.” This is Satan, who accuses Israel from above, and is the wicked Samael-סמא"ל.

When the time of redemption comes, what is written about the wicked Samael-סמא"ל? “If you rise like an eagle and set your nest amongst the stars, from there I will bring you down, declares HaShem-יהו"ה.” How will he be brought down? When the Saviors-Moshi’im-מושיעים, these being HaShem Elo”him Tzva”ot-יהו"ה אלהי"ם צבאות, go up to Mount Zion, which is the matter of HaShem’s-יהו"ה quality as the Living God-El Chai-א"ל חי, to judge the mountain of Esav, which is Mount Seir, as it states,²⁶³Isaiah 24:21 “And it shall be that on that day, HaShem-יהו"ה will deal with the hosts of heaven in heaven and with the kings of the earth on the earth.” At that time, the verse,²⁶⁴Ibid 34:5 “For my sword has been sated in the heavens” will be fulfilled, and then, as the verse continues, “behold, it shall descend upon Edom, on the nation that I will destroy etc.” What is written about when this happens?²⁶⁵Ibid 63:1 “Who is this coming from Edom, with soiled garments from Botzrah? It is I, who speaks with righteousness, with abundant power to save etc.” This is the matter of,²⁶⁶Obadiah 1:21 “Saviors will ascend Mount Zion to judge Mount Esav, and the kingdom will be HaShem’s-יהו"ה.”
