ודינא יהב לקדישי עליונין

We saw that ז"ך of the left is a time of Chesed. Are the Tikkunim of Gevura not times of Din?

The answer is that the Din associated to the left is the strenghtening of the Tum'ah of the left. The demise of the latter turns the Tikkun of Gevura into Chesed for Yisrael.

Accordingly, we saw that at ז"ך of the left is the beginning of the covert Hanhaga of Atik Yamim. The above, then, explains how the counts of the left and right add up to form the count of Atik Yamim.

Sepher Daniel 7:22 seems to be in agreement:

עד די אתה עתיק יומיא ודינא יהב לקדישי עליונין וזמנא מטה ומלכותא החסנו קדישין

"Until Atik Yamim came, and Din was given to the holy ones of the most High; and the time came, and the holy ones possessed the kingdom."

Humble Authority

מצאתי גם לנכון להדפיסם מאחר שאיני בזה אלא כמברר ההלכה שכל תלמיד חכם ומורה הוראה יעיין בהדברים ויבחון בעצמו אם להורות כן וכאשר יראה שאני לא סמכתי כסומא בארובה אף על חבורי רבותינו אלא בדקתי בכל כחי להבין שהם נכונים כאשר צוה רבי עקיבה איגר שם וכן אני מבקש לכל מעיין בספרי שיבדוק אחרי דברי

The Time to Provoke

The implication of Kriat Yam Suf is that the Tum'ah of the right, the utterly defeated Mitzrayim, can no longer rule over Kedusha. It can only do so in collaboration with the Tum'ah of the left, which does have the power to rule over Kedusha. In short, regarding Tum'ah, the right became included in the left.

Note that Moshe Rabbeinu utterly provoked Mitzrayim, but avoided all conflict with Edom. Whereas he rejected all compromises offered by Par'oh, about Edom it says in Devarim 2:5:

אל תתגרו בם כי לא אתן לכם מארצם עד מדרך כף רגל

Do not provoke them, for I shall not give you of their land even a step of a foot.

Edom has power that Mitzrayim lacks. In confrontations between Yisrael and Edom, Yisrael may not provoke. This sets the stage for the seemingly unending Galut Edom, in which context also Yishmael ruled 1300 years, over Eretz Yisrael. Until when will Galut Edom last? The above Pasuk answers עד מדר"ך, until 744. Accordingly, at מדר"ך years into the sixth millennium (5745), four 64-year "days" before the millenium's end, six 64-year "days" (384 years) before year 6129. Rabbi Meir Kahane called upon the Knesset to provoke the nations of the world and to declare the end of the exile.

Perhaps it can be said that, even though the Holocaust forced the issue, the creation of the State of Israel was a provocation that was 37 years before the proper time, and a compensating 37 years after מדר"ך will now have to pass before Yisrael can provoke Edom and prevail.

Without support of the Tum'ah of the left, the Tum'ah of the right will then also lose its control over Kedusha. Know, however, that Yishmael will not give up without a fight.

Par'oh and Rabbis

Why did Moshe need to be raised by Par'oh? From birth, Moshe was "Tov", Moshiach ben Yosef. To become Moshiach, Moshe had to obtain the "Meshichut" that Par'oh possessed. Par'oh, who did not know Yosef, felt the threat and fought a spiritual and physical war to protect his power. Through this very policy, Par'oh ended up raising Moshiach on his knees.

After Rav Meir Kahane was banned and Reb Moshe Feinstein had died, Am Yisrael fell into the hands of rabbis who do not know Yosef, and whose power is not rooted in holiness. They wield their power through institutions of the State of Israel. They rule in virtue of their control over flows of money. They have come to the realization that the future is not theirs, and now fight a spiritual and physical war to prevent or delay the loss of "Meshichut." In a de-facto pact with the post-zionists, they fight the settlers of the Land of Israel. They try to use the power currently still granted to them by Medinat Yisrael to consolidate and extend their control over Am Yisrael. They seek to establish that only they are real rabbis, and that the Zionist rabbis are no match.

The first battle ground was the Pesika regarding the Land of Israel. That approach backfired, as all attempts to create a "peace" settlement have ended in disaster. And so, the main battle ground has shifted to Giur. Without a grain of respect for truth and ethics, they started to claim total control over the entrance gate to Judaism. Whatever approach they choose, it will be as self-defeating as was the policy of Par'oh.

The Fate of Moshiach ben Yosef

Right after his birth, Moshe Rabbeinu is called "Tov" (Shemot 2:2). This is a reference to Moshiach ben Yosef. Moshe's life is subsequently endangered, when his mother leaves him at the river bank (Shemot 2:3): ותשם בסוף על שפת היאור. I think that this phrase has a double reference to the fate of Moshiach ben Yosef in the end of days.

Firstly, ותש"ם בסוף refers to 746 years into the last, sixth, millenium. This was after the Knesset, with silent consent of almost all sectors of Yisrael, delegitimized Rav Meir Kahane. The process of Geula was endangered, and Kahane was killed a short time after 750 years into the sixth millenium, fulfilling the words of the holy Ramchal in Tikkun 8 of Tikkunim Chadashim:

ומשיח בן יוסף נמי ביומא שתיתאה בתר פלגו דיומא אתחזיאת לה מותא לאתקנא תקונא שלים. ומתמן ולהלאה יתחברון תרין אילנין כחדא למהוי בשלימו חד

And also Moshiach ben Yosef is destined to die on the sixth day after Chatzot HaYom, to achieve a perfect Tikkun. From then on, the two trees (Moshiach ben Yosef and Moshiach ben David) are combined into one, to be one in wholeness.

If a day is a thousand years, the time until Chatzot HaYom is 750 years.

Secondly, בסוף על שפ"ת היאור refers to the time of the last Yeor, the 13th after a thousand Yeorin, at the bank between 506.5 of the right and 506.5 of the left, 780 years into the sixth millenium. Like Moshe, Yisrael will enter danger and survive it by miracle.
