17) Once he is completed with all the lights in the third palace and travels from that palace, he can enter the fourth palace, Tifferet. There, there are all the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem with all those who were killed by other, idol worshipping nations, all the other nations besides the people of Israel, since there is great Kedusha in those who were killed by other nations. It is so much so that their souls rise for MAN and extend the high lights in this palace and are rewarded with them, and the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem are connected to them, as well. The Messiah—who sees the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem, and the slain of the nations—begins to cry, and all those presidents from David’s seed hold him and comfort him.
This relates to the Messiah Son of Joseph, from Malchut from Chazeh de ZA and below, who is called Rachel, and whose ascent is only up to the fourth palace, Tifferet, and only up to the place of Chazeh in that palace, and not above the Chazeh. But the presidents, the seed of David, are from Malchut from Chazeh de ZA and above. Therefore, when the Messiah Son of Joseph comes to the palace of Tifferet, he receives lights and is comforted by the presidents from the seed of David—who are from above the Chazeh in this palace—and is completed by them. Here is the first Behina in this palace, NHY.
18) The Messiah weeps again, a second time, until the voice comes out and unites with the voice of the Messiah, and his voices rises. It is so because the voice of the weeping of the Messiah Son of Joseph is the voice of Malchut below the Chazeh. Hence the Dinim have a grip on his voice and he is unfit to rise for MAN until the voice of Bina comes down from above and unites with the voice of the Messiah.
At that time the voice of the Messiah rises in a Zivug of voice and speech, and is detained there until the beginning of the month. That is, it rises and is included in a Zivug of voice and speech, ZON in the palace of Bina, and is detained there as MAN until the Mochin de Rosh are extended to the Nukva, who is called “month.” By that the Nukva is corrected and is called “the beginning of the month.”
When he descends from Bina, several lights and kinds of effulgence descend with him, illuminating to all those palaces, and healing and light come to all the ones who were slain by the nations of the world, and the sick and tormented who suffer with the Messiah to draw the redemption.
19) At that time the Messiah dresses in a garment of kingship. All those who were slain by the idol worshipping nations are engraved and inscribed in that garment of kingship, and that garment of kingship of the Messiah rises to Bina, above, and is engraved inside the upper garment of kingship of the king, ZA, who clothes Bina.
In other words, the slain by the idol worshippers in the garment of kingship of the Messiah are engraved in the upper garment of kingship where those who suffer most from illnesses and pains are engraved, and both become MAN for the upper Zivug de ZON. The upper light is drawn by them to that palace, and the Creator is destined to clothe in that garment of kingship of the Messiah, to sentence all the nations of the world, as it is written, “He will judge among the nations, will fill them with corpses,” which will be in the end.
But prior to that, the Messiah’s garment of kingship is mitigated by its connecting to the Creator’s garment of kingship. Then both rise for MAN together, an upper Zivug is made on them, and they extend their lights. Finally, the Messiah returns and descends from the place of the Zivug, and comforts the souls. Also, lights and pleasures to be delighted in come down with him, and several angels and Merkavot [chariots/structures] come down with the Messiah, each of which carries a garment for all those souls of those who were slain by the idol worshipping nations. There they are refined that whole time until the Messiah goes up and comes down.
“Refined” means that they receive the lights of Eden, illumination of Hochma, which is received only from below upward. Hence, the souls are refined—receiving illumination of Hochma—only when the Messiah goes up and comes down. At that time the illumination is in a state of from below upward. But once the Messiah has come down, they cannot be refined because then they need to extend the Eden from above downward, but it is received only from below upward. This explains the second Behina in the palace of Tifferet, the lights of HGT in that palace.
20) Inside that palace, in the insides of HGT in the palace, the ten appointed ministers stand at a superior degree. These are Rabbi Akiva and his friends. All of them rise in an ascent inside the mirror of above, the illuminating mirror, and illuminate in the effulgence of the upper glory. It is written about them, “Neither has the eye seen a God besides You.” This is the third Behina, GAR of that palace.
