Translation:Tikunei Zohar/55a

דף נה א

And the wicked who are the Erev Rav (RaB), it's said of them SO"F PSU"Q, as they are of the seed of Amalek, of whom it says (Ex. 17:16), "And he said, "For the Hand [of God 'swore'] upon the throne of Y"H." And they [the Erev Rav] are five kinds: Amalekim, Gibborim, Nefilim, Anakim, Refaim. Which, they all rise up and overpower Yisrael in the exile; behold it's the scripture (Gen. 7:18), "And the waters waxed strong and increased (RB) exceeding over the Land." Four times it's written "waxed strong and increased," corresponding to the four exiles, and of them it's said SO"F PSU"Q, as the Holy Blessed One will terminate them from the world at the End of Days. (daf 45a)

וְרַשִּׁיעַיָּא דְאִינוּן עִרֶב רַב אִתְּמַר בְּהוֹן סוֹ"ף פָּסוּ"ק, דְּאִינוּן מִזַּרְעָא דַעֲמָלֵק דְּאִתְּמַר בֵּיהּ (שמות יז, טו) וַיֹּאמֶר כִּי יָד עַל כֵּס י"הּ, וְאִינוּן חָמֵשׁ מִינִים עֲמָלֵקִים גִּבּוֹרִים נְפִילִים עֲנָקִים רְפָאִים, דְּכֻלְּהוּ מִסְתַּלְּקִין וּמִתְגַּבְּרִין עַל יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּגָלוּתָא, הֲדָא הוּא דִכְתִיב (בראשית ז, יח) וַיִּגְבְּרוּ הַמַּיִם וַיִּרְבּוּ מְאֹד עַל הָאָרֶץ, אַרְבַּע זִמְנִין כְּתִיב וַיִּגְבְּרוּ וְגָבְרוּ, לָקֳבֵל אַרְבַּע גַּלְוָון, וַעֲלַיְיהוּ אִתְּמַר סוֹ"ף פָּסוּ"ק, דְּפָסִיק לוֹן קוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא לְסוֹף יוֹמַיָּא מֵעָלְמָא. (דף נה ע"א)

At that time "The little one will be to a thousand" (Isa. 60:22), from the Left Side, "...and the junior will be to an enormous nation," from the Right Side, "...I Hashem in its time will hasten it," from the side of the Central Column. And immediately the Amalekim will be ceased from the world, and the Holy Blessed One will sit on His throne, and this is ShOF"R HOL"Kh ATN"Ch YTY"B [RaKh=young, Cha"B=extinguish]. At that time the Amalekim will be wiped off the world, and the Holy Blessed One will be bring down rest [Nach Nayyacha] for Yisrael and sit on His throne, as it says (Daniel 7:9), "And the Ancient of Days did sit, and his garment was white as snow," to fulfill (Isa. 1:18), "If your sins will be red as crimson, I will make them white as snow."

וּבְהַהוּא זִמְנָא הַקָּטֹן יִהְיֶה לָאֶלֶף (ישעיהו ס, כב) מִסִּטְרָא דִשְׂמָאלָא, וְהַצָּעִיר לְגוֹי עָצוּם מִסִּטְרָא דִימִינָא, אֲנִי יהו"ה בְּעִתָּהּ אֲחִישֶׁנָּה (שם) מִסִּטְרָא דְעַמּוּדָא דְאֶמְצָעִיתָא, וּמִיָּד יִתְפַּסְקוּן עֲמָלֵקִים מִן עָלְמָא, וְקוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא יְתִיב עַל כָּרְסְיֵיהּ, וְדָא אִיהוּ שׁוֹפָ"ר הוֹלֵ"ךְ אַתְנָ"ח יְתִי"ב, בְּהַהוּא זִמְנָא דְיִתְמַחוּן עֲמָלֵקִים מֵעָלְמָא, יְהֵא קוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא נָח נְיָיחָא לְיִשְׂרָאֵל, וְיָתִיב עַל כָּרְסְיֵיהּ, כְּמָה דְאִתְּמַר בֵּיהּ (דניאל ז, ט) וְעַתִּיק יוֹמִין יְתִיב, לְבוּשֵׁהּ כִּתְלָג חִוָּר, לְקַיְימָא אִם יִהְיוּ חֲטָאֵיכֶם כַּשָּׁנִים כַּשֶּׁלֶג יַלְבִּינוּ (ישעיה א, יח). And regarding Esau and Ishmael it's written (Dan. 7:9), "His throne was fiery flames," (elsewhere: Rome). And from these flames of His throne will be incinerated all their idols - "... and its wheels burning fire," for ten wheels from the side of the letter Y will descend, and flames from the side of the letter H'. Two letters aroused in fire to incinerate their idols. At that time (Isa. 1:31), "And the strong man will be as the tow [weak plant fiber]" etc.

וּלְגַבֵּי עִשָׂו וְיִשְׂמָעִאל כְּתִיב (דניאל ז, ט) כָּרְסְיֵיהּ שְׁבִיבִין דִּי נוּר, (ס"א רומי) וּמֵאִינוּן שְׁבִיבִין דְּכָרְסְיֵיהּ אוֹקְדוּן כָּל טַעֲוָון דִּילְהוֹן, גַּלְגִּלּוֹהִי נוּר דָּלִיק, דְּנָחֲתִין מִנֵּיהּ עִִשֶׂר גַּלְגַּלִּין מִסִּטְרָא דְאָת י', וּשְׁבִיבִין מִסִּטְרָא דְאָת ה', תְּרֵין אַתְוָון יִתְעָרוּן בְּנוּרָא לְאוֹקָדָא טַעֲוָון דִּלְהוֹן, בְּהַהוּא זִמְנָא (ישעיה א, לא) וְהָיָה הֶחָסֹן לִנְעוֹרֶת וכו'. At that time W' will ascend to its level which is "six steps to the Throne," and this is DRG"A [D=4?] TR"Y TAM"Y [=2?]. What is TR"Y TAM"Y? Rather, after it ascends to its level it will be said to Yisrael, "And make Me tasty things (MTAMIM) like I love" (Gen. 27:4), from positive commandments that are included in the H' of Abraham, which includes the 248 mitzvot, in which H' is offered up to W', and this offering is the drawing nigh of the Holy Blessed One with the Shekhinah.

בְּהַהוּא זִמְנָא סָלִיק ו' עַל דַּרְגָּא דִילֵיהּ דְּאִיהוּ שֵׁשׁ מַעֲלוֹת לַכִּסֵּא, וְדָא אִיהוּ דַרְגָּ"א, תְרֵ"י טַעֲמֵ"י, מַאי תְּרֵ"י טַעֲמֵ"י, אֶלָּא בָּתַר דְּסָלִיק לְדַרְגֵּיהּ יֵימַר לְיִשְׂרָאֵל וַעֲשֵׂה לִי מַטְעַמִּים כַּאֲשֶׁר אָהַבְתִּי (בראשית כז, ד), מִפִּקּוּדִין דַּעֲשֵׂה דִכְלִילָן בְּה' דְּאַבְרָהָם, דִּכְלִיל רְמַ"ח פִּקּוּדִין, דִּבְהוֹן אִתְקְרִיב ה' לְגַבֵּי ו', וְקָרְבָּנָא דָא אִיהוּ קְרִיבוּ דְקוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא עִם שְׁכִינְתֵּיהּ.
