The level of the Mashiach is the Light of Yechida. And if all the members had
not reached the level of the heads of the assemblies, the GAR of the degrees,
i.e., corrected all that they could, they would not have merited the revelation
of the Mashiach’s face. But the heads of the Assemblies are not GAR of the low
degrees. Rather, they represent a level so high that all the members have merited
reaching the Heavenly Assembly of Matat.
And now all the members merited becoming the heads of the Assemblies,
wherefrom they merited an ascent to the Heavenly Assembly. Moreover,
thanks to their corrections, they merited the Mashiach himself coming to all
these assemblies to be adorned with their deeds in the Torah. And now all the
members have merited reaching the level of the assemblies’ heads. This is why
the Mashiach is adorned with the Torah of the assemblies’ heads. Thus, thanks
to them, the Mashiach himself ascends to a Higher Degree.
- At that time, all the members stood up. Rabbi Shimon stood up, too, and
his Light rose to the firmament. The Mashiach said unto him: “Happy are
you, Rabbi, for your Torah has risen in 370 beams of Light, and each beam
divides into 613 beams (properties) that ascend and bathe in the rivers of
the holy Apharsemon (persimmon). And the Creator confirms and signs the
Torah of your assembly, of the assembly of Chizkiyah (Hezekiah), the King of
Judah, and the assembly of Achiyah ha Shiloni (Ahijah the Shilonite).”
When the Mashiach revealed himself to them and came to Rabbi Shimon’s
Assembly, all the members stood up (ascended from the level of VAK to GAR),
and Rabbi Shimon stood on the same degree as the Mashiach. And the Light rose
to the height of the firmament. This indicates that Rabbi Shimon has attained
the Light of the ten firmaments, the previously missing tenth firmament on
account of the closed gates of Malchut de Malchut, and has attained the Light of
Yechida, which he now was able to receive, as he could make a Zivug on Malchut de
Malchut. And the Light of Yechida that shines from this Zivug is called Mashiach.
The “sitting” level is 390, or VAK; the “standing” level is 400, or GAR.
The Mashiach said to Rabbi Shimon that his Torah gave rise to the Light of
Yechida in Partzuf Atik, because:
Units (0 – 9) are in Malchut;
Tens (10 – 90) are in ZA;
Hundreds (100 – 900) are in Ima;
Thousands (1,000 – 9,000) are in Aba;
Tens of thousands (10,000 – 90,000) are in Arich Anpin;
And hundreds of thousands (100,000 – 900,000) are in Atik.
Since each Sefira of Atik equals 100,000, the four Sefirot of HaVaYaH (HBTM
of Atik) total 400,000.
