Kabbalah sa Ruth 3:9: Zohar & Sha'arei Orah

There is none oppressed like those whose oppression is transmitted by heredity, concerning whom it is written: “He visits the sins of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generations” (Ex. 20, 5).

Therefore, with the help of HaShem-יהו״ה, blessed is He, I will enlighten your eyes to a hidden secret. Know, that in the coming future, when the Name HaShem-יהו״ה, blessed is He, will come to redeem the Jewish people and take the ingathering of Israel (Shechinah) into His arms, He will remove all His garments and titles, and take the Jewish people unto Himself. When He takes the Ingathering of Israel (Shechinah) unto Himself, He and the Jewish people will become unified as one, and He then will return and don all His garments and titles upon them both, that is, upon Himself and the Ingathering of Israel (Shechinah). They then will be as one within the garments, like one inseparable thing. All the other garments and titles will hover over them externally, and will be like servants who serve their Master. This is the secret of the verse,²⁴⁵Ruth 3:9 “Spread your robe-Knafecha-כנפך over your handmaiden, for you are a redeemer.” In other words, when You will spread your robe over the Ingathering of Israel (Shechinah) in the time of redemption, and all the ministers of the nations will be like a garment that is external to them, there then will be the fulfillment of the verse,²⁴⁶Zachariah 14:9 “HaShem-יהו״ה will be King over all the earth; On that day HaShem-יהו״ה will be One and His Name One.” HaShem-יהו״ה will then be unified with the Jewish people alone, and all the ministers and nations who serve false gods will be outside, serving Him and standing guard. His Great Name HaShem-יהו״ה, blessed is He, will then be in eternal adhesion to the Jewish people. This is the meaning of the verse,²⁴⁷Hosea 2:21 “I have betrothed you to Me forever.” There no longer will be any separation or distinction, but rather, HaShem-יהו״ה Himself will illuminate the Ingathering of Israel (Shechinah), and they will be like two lovers whose only desire is to adhere and be one with each other, with no separation between them. This is the secret of the verse,²⁴⁸Isaiah 60:19 “HaShem-יהו״ה will be an eternal light for you, and Your God-Elohayich-אלהי״ך will be your splendor-L’Tifarteich-לתפארתך.” The Name HaShem-יהו״ה will Himself be like a wall surrounding the Ingathering of Israel (Shechinah), and the hard husks of Kelipah will no longer obstruct between them. This is the secret of the verse,²⁴⁹Zachariah 2:9 “And I will be-Eheye”h-אהי״ה for it – the word of HaShem-יהו״ה – a wall of fire all around it, for I will be-Eheye”h-אהי״ה glory within it.” All the supernal ministering angels will then be on the outside, standing in service of the Name HaShem-יהו״ה and the Ingathering of Israel (Shechinah). Moreover, all the nations who presently serve false gods, and are under the dominion of the seventy ministering angels in their lands, will also serve the Jewish people. This is the meaning of the verse,²⁵⁰Isaiah 49:23 “Kings will be your nurturers and their princesses will be your wetnurses. With faces to the ground, they will prostrate themselves to you; they will lick the dust of your feet.”

In any event, understand that HaShem-יהו״ה, blessed is He, removes the garments in order to bond with the Ingathering of Israel (Shechinah), but does not destroy them from the world. This is because these garments are of great importance and He makes use of them, as it states,²⁶⁶Ruth 3:9 “Spread Your robe-Knafecha-כנפך over your handmaiden, for you are a redeemer.” Therefore, these names are not erased. This is the secret of the verse,²⁶⁷Leviticus 16:23 “Aharon shall come to the Tent of Meeting – he shall remove the linen garments that he wore when entering the Sanctuary, and shall leave them there.” Likewise, when HaShem-יהו״ה, blessed is He, removes those garments, He leaves them in their place, being that the ministering angels of the nations are unified to them, and are of great importance to the Chariot (Merkavah). Therefore, the holy names are not erased.
