"Hashem shall be one, and His name One"

Synopsis

We are told that Hashem is not One now because Zeir Anpin and Malchut are parted, and at present the flow from Binah does not sustain Zeir Anpin. In the future, however, God will return the Shechinah to her position and everything will find itself in one unity. Before that final unity, the kingdom of Esau will be judged.

Shechinah Unity Zeir Anpin

373. In the future, the Holy One, blessed be He, will return the Shechinah to Her position, as everything will find itself in one unity, as it is written, "On that day Hashem shall be one, and His name One" (Zecharyah 14:9). If you ask: So now, He is not one? No, as now the evildoers cause ZEIR ANPIN AND MALCHUT not to be as one, as the Queen distances herself from the King, and they do not find themselves joined. Supernal Ima, BEING BINAH, distances herself from the King and does not nourish Him.

373. וּלְזִמְנָא דְּאָתֵי, זַמִּין קוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא לְאָתָבָא שְׁכִינְתָּא לְאַתְרָהָא, וּלְאִשְׁתַּכְּחָא כֺּלָּא בְּזִוּוּגָא חַד דִּכְתִּיב בַּיוֹם הַהוּא יִהְיֶה יְיָ' אֶחָד וְגוֹ.' וְאִי תֵּימָא הַשְׁתָּא לָאו הוּא אֶחָד. לָא, דְּהָא הַשְׁתָּא חַיָּיבֵי עָלְמָא גָּרְמוּ, דְּלָא אִשְׁתְּכַח חַד. דְּהָא מַטְרוֹנִיתָא אִתְרָחֲקַת מִן מַלְכָּא, וְלָא מִשְׁתַּכְּחֵי בְּזִוּוּגָא. אִמָּא עִלָּאָה אִתְרָחֲקַת מִן מַלְכָּא וְלָא יַנְקָא לֵיהּ.

Aba and Ima Crowns Lights Solomon Streams Zeir Anpin Zion

374. BINAH DOES NOT SUSTAIN ZEIR ANPIN, because the King without the Queen is not crowned with the crowns of Ima, as He used to be in the beginning when He was joined with the Queen, WHEN IMA USED TO ADORN HIM with several crowns, numerous lights, with supernal holy crowns, as it is written, "Go forth, daughters of Zion, and behold King Solomon with the crown with which his mother crowned him..." (Shir Hashirim 3:11). When He joined with the Queen, supernal Ima crowned Him properly. Now that the King is not with the Queen, the supernal Ima takes back her crowns, withholds from Him the sources of the streams and He is not part of the one connection. CONSEQUENTLY, He is not found to be one, so to speak.

374. בְּגִין דְּמַלְכָּא בְּלָא מַטְרוֹנִיתָא, לָא מִתְעַטֵּר בְּעִטְרוֹי דְּאִמָּא, כְּמָה בְּקַדְמֵיתָא כַּד אִתְחַבָּר בְּמַטְרוֹנִיתָא, דְּעַטְּרָא לֵיהּ, בְּכַמָּה עִטְרִין, בְּכַמָּה זְהִירִין בְּעִטְרִין קַדִּישִׁין עִלָּאִין. דִּכְתִּיב צְאֶינָה וּרְאֶינָה בְּנוֹת צִיּוֹן בַּמֶּלֶךְ שְׁלֹמֺה וְגוֹ,' דְּאִזְדְּוַּוג בְּמַטְרוֹנִיתָא, כְּדֵין עַטְּרָא לֵיהּ אִימָּא עִלָּאָה כַּדְקָא יֵאוֹת. וְהַשְׁתָּא דְּלָא אִשְׁתְּכַח מַלְכָּא בְּמַטְרוֹנִיתָא, כְּדֵין אִימָּא עִלָּאָה נַטְלַת עִטְרָאָה וּמָנָעַת מִנֵּיהּ מַבּוּעֵי דְּנַחֲלִין, וְלָא אִשְׁתְּכַח בְּקִשּׁוּרָא חַד. כִּבְיָכוֹל לָא אִשְׁתְּכַח חַד.

Chambers Esau Zion

375. וּבְזִמְנָא דְּתֵיתוּב מַטְרוֹנִיתָא לַאֲתַר הֵיכָלָא, וּמַלְכָּא יִזְדַּוֵּוג עִמָּהּ בְּזִוּוּגָא חַד. כְּדֵין, יִתְחַבָּר כֺּלָּא כַּחֲדָא, בְּלָא פֵּרוּדָא, וְעַל דָּא כְּתִיב, בַּיוֹם הַהוּא יִהְיֶה יְיָ' אֶחָד וּשְׁמוֹ אֶחָד. בַּיוֹם הַהוּא: בְּזִמְנָא דִּיְתוּב מַטְרוֹנִיתָא לְהֵיכָלָא, כְּדֵין כֺּלָּא אִשְׁתְּכַח חַד בְּלָא פֵּרוּדָא. וּכְדֵין וְעָלוּ מוֹשִׁיעִים בְּהַר צִיּוֹן לִשְׁפּוֹט וְגוֹ.'

Earth Esau Zion

376. We have learned that Rabbi Shimon said: The Queen will not enter in joy in His palace until the kingdom of Esau will be judged, and she will have her vengeance for causing all this. Then she will join with the King and joy will be complete. This is the meaning of the verse, "And liberators shall ascend upon Mount Zion to judge the mountain of Esau" at first, then "and the kingdom shall be Hashem's" (Ibid.). What is meant by kingdom? It refers to the Queen. This is the meaning of, "And the kingdom shall be Hashem's." After they rejoin, it is written, "And Hashem shall be the King over all the earth: on that day Hashem shall be one, and His name One."

376. דְּתַנְיָא, אָמַר ר' שִׁמְעוֹן, לָא תֵּיעוּל מַטְרוֹנִיתָא בְּחֶדְוָותָא בְּהֵיכָלֵיהּ עַד דְּיִתְדָּן מַלְכוּתָא דְּעֵשָׂו, וְתִיסַב מִנֵּיהּ נוּקְמִין דְּגַרְמָא כָּל הַאי. לְבָתַר תִּזְדַּוֵּוג בְּמַלְכָּא, וִיהֵא חֵדוּ שְׁלִים, הה"ד, וְעָלוּ מוֹשִׁיעִים בְּהַר צִיּוֹן לִשְׁפּוֹט אֶת הַר עֵשָׂו בְּקַדְמֵיתָא, וּלְבָתַר וְהָיְתָה לַיְיָ' הַמְּלוּכָה. מַאן מְלוּכָה, דָּא מַטְרוֹנִיתָא. הה"ד, וְהָיְתָה לַיְיָ' הַמְּלוּכָה. וּלְבָתַר דְּיִזְדַּוְּוגֻן כַּחֲדָא, מַה כְּתִיב. וְהָיָה יְיָ' לְמֶלֶךְ עַל כָּל הָאָרֶץ בַּיוֹם הַהוּא יִהְיֶה יְיָ' אֶחָד וּשְׁמוֹ אֶחָד.
