Chapter 2
Section 2
The Two Meshichim of the Generations
Contents
“We must do our utmost to promote the complete
union of the two meshichim, Mashiach ben Yosef and Mashiach
ben David, ’the wood of Yosef and the wood of Judah.’
This is the great foundation for the unification of the
Holy One Blessed Be He and the Shechina to bring about the
return of the Shechina [to Zion]. -- We must participate
in G-d’s assistance to the heroes, i.e., to the two
meshichim alluded to in the verse: “and saviors will
ascend Mount Zion.’ The saviors wage war against the
coupling of Seir and his father-in-law [Ismael] on Mount
Zion. We can assist by gathering in the exiles, by
rebuilding Jerusalem, and by establishing and maintaining
people of truth -- Just as in the case of the general
Redemption, the first mashiach is Mashiach ben Yosef and
the one who completes the task is Mashiach ben David, so in
the case of every activity--general or personal--related to
the footsteps of the beginning of the Redemption naturally,
the first supporter is Mashiach ben Yosef; the supporter
who completes the task is Mashiach ben David. This is on
the level of the two meshichim of the generations, which is
considered the aspect of ’Judah saves Yosef.’”
1. In the case of the general Redemption, the first
mashiach is Mashiach ben Yosef, and the one who completes
the mission is Mashiach ben David. Likewise in the case of
each and every activity, general or private, carried out in
connection with the footsteps of the beginning of the
Redemption, when the awakening comes from below naturally,
little by little--all the activities demonstrate the
Gaon’s important principle: the first heavenly assistance
comes through Mashiach ben Yosef, and the task completed by
Mashiach ben David. The two meshichim of the generations
are the miraculous powers that maintain the existence of
Israel, and strengthen it during the exiles; they are also
the miraculous supporters during the footsteps of the
Mashiach. Mashiach ben Yosef is the miraculous power
behind the physical and material existence and
strengthening, whereas Mashiach ben David is the miraculous
power behind the spiritual existence of Israel generally
and particularly. Both meshichim of the generations play
a role in many of the aspects, as explained in the Gaon’s
compositions.
The two meshichim cooperate and help one another:
Mashiach ben Yosef, as revealed in the words “Yosef still
lives”; and Mashiach ben David, as revealed in the words
“David, King of Israel is alive and exists.” They are
alive and exist in every generation, carry out their
missions, and affect one another with their powers and
special attributes. Thus they need one another. Without
the abundance of their strength, their might, and their
endowments, Israel could not exist for even one moment, G-d
forbid. However, they--their powers, images, and
endowments--are hidden as long as our many sins cause
Israel and the Shechina to remain in exile. We must know
that these two great powers can operate and their strength
can affect, even totally affect events, only when no one
disturbs or separates them.
At times, the tasks of the two meshichim are
apportioned differently, both with regard to levels and
with regard to influences, depending on whether the aspect
of Leah or Rachel, that is, of Daat or Malchut is involved.
Mashiach ben David is the one who causes the upper
abundance to flow. Mashiach ben Yosef, on the other hand,
is the one who receives and carries out what is included in
the aspect of Judah saving Yosef. If the aspect of Yosef
and Judah together is involved, i.e., Yesod and Malchut,
then Mashiach ben Yosef causes the abundance to flow, and
Mashiach ben David is the recipient. All this is true at
the beginning of the Redemption, when the wood of Yosef and
the wood of Judah are “pieces of wood in your hand, ”
when they are still divided into two, on the level of the
awakening from below. At the time of the complete
redemption, however, when the two pieces of wood have
become “one in My hand” (the hand of G-d), then the
meshichim will be like two inseparable friends; they will
have become one, they will have become the King Mashiach
who is on the level of the trustworthy friend of the final
redeemer, Moshe Rabbeinu, may he rest in peace. This is on
the level of the great thousand, when G-d will become king
over all the land, etc. (this is affirmed in gematria:
[and] together, equal 1000). Since we are standing on
the threshold of the beginning of the Redemption, we must
learn and know all the aspects and tasks of the two
meshichim, the meshichim from below, regarding the paths of
the beginning, with the help of G-d.
2. The purpose of our work in ingathering the exiles is
to set up people of Truth who will promote the unification
of both meshichim in the gates of Jerusalem so that the
Shechina will return. The purpose of the Redemption is
that there be a true redemption and sanctification of G-d.
According to the Gaon, may he rest in peace, we must
participate in G-d’s assistance to His heroes, who are
the two meshichim. We must learn well all the practical
aspects and tasks in order to carry out whatever is
required.
In all generations, the major tasks of the two
meshichim together, Mashiach ben Yosef and Mashiach ben
David, are self-defense and to wage war against the three
heads of the outer shells or layers: Esau, Ismael and the
mixed multitude. The special task of Mashiach ben Yosef is
to counter Esau, the outer shell on the left. The special
task of Mashiach ben David against Ismael is to counter
Ismael, the outer shelf on the right. The two meshichim
together are duty-bound to operate against Esau and Ismael,
who are likened to an ox and a donkey of impurity.
Armilus, the angel of the mixed multitude, is the
one who attempts to couple Esau and Ismael, and this could
destroy Israel and the entire world, Heaven forbid. The
main desire of the mixed multitude is to couple Esau and
Ismael and to separate the two meshichim. Our main task to
counter, even battle such deeds; we must destroy the might
of the mixed multitude, the layer of the wicked Armilus,
and drive them out of Israel. The mixed multitude is our
greatest enemy, for it separates the two meshichim. The
outer shell of the mixed multitude operates only by
delusions and indirectly. Therefore the war against the
mixed multitude is the most difficult and bitter, and we
must wage war against it and overpower it with all our
might. Anyone who does not participate in the war against
the mixed multitude, is actually becoming a partner of the
“layer” of the mixed multitude. Whoever he is, he
would have been better off had he not been born.
The primary power of the mixed multitude is at the gates
of Jerusalem, particularly at the entrance to the city,
which is on the western middle line.
3. The two meshichim are the guards and defenders of
the existence of Israel throughout all the generations,
even during the exile. Their main place is at the gates of
Jerusalem, the opening of the walls. This is revealed by
the words: “our feet were standing in the gates of
Jerusalem.”“Our feet” refers to the two meshichim in
the line of of Netzach and Hod. But when is it possible to
stand with a sense of security? When Jerusalem is rebuilt
like a city that has been joined together. Concerning
this, it is written: “On your walls, O Jerusalem, I have
appointed guards for all day and all night.”“All
night” includes during the darkness of the exile. But as
long as Jerusalem is desolate, the guards have only enough
strength to guard, not to wage war against the Sitra Achra.
For they guards cannot stand on the Holy Land in its
destruction because of the fastness of the outer layers of
impurity. When, then do “our feet stand”?
When Jerusalem is rebuilt. Then the city is joined
together: Jerusalem of below is joined with Jerusalem of
above. Their central spot is at the entrance to the city
on the middle line, to the west of the walls.
Regarding the two meshichim it says: “and
saviors will ascend Mount Zion.” The word “ascend”
means that the two meshichim will prevail: that is, the
wood of Yosef and the wood of Judah will prevail on the
levels of Heaven and Earth. Their levels are determined by
their actions, and their actions are determined by their
missions. An activity at the time of the awakening from
below, naturally, from the left line which is the quality
of Din, is part of the task of Mashiach ben Yosef from the
land, and the level is the aspect of Yosef ben Rachel
(Yesod of Malchut). An activity designed to draw down help
and mercy, goodness and the blessing of G-d Almighty that
come from abundance from above, belongs to the aspect of
Yosef son of Jacob (Yesod of Tiferet).
When the activity occurs at the time of the
awakening from below, but from the right line, then the
quality of Lovingkindness is involved, and this is the task
of Mashiach ben David.The level in this case is the aspect
of Judah son of Jacob (Malchut of Tiferet).
When the activity is designed to generate a great
amount of Chesed and Rahamim, then it is from the aspect of
Judah ben Leah (Malchut of Tevunah).
When the activity comes at the time of the
awakening from below, but from the middle line, at the
level of 999 in Yesod, then it is the mission of Mashiach
ben Yosef, as revealed in the words: “even all that is in
the Heavens and Earth.”
4. As explained by the Gaon, the two meshichim play a
role in many aspects depending on their tasks, as discussed
below, and depending on the repairs entailed (?). The
missions of the meshichim from below and from above depend
on their deeds, and the deeds depend on the root of their
souls. The two meshichim from below are the first involved
in leaving the exile. They are the two Hebrew midwives in
Egypt, as mentioned by the Gaon in his Tikunei Zohar
Chadash regarding the verse: “and they [the midwives] let
the children live” because they occupied themselves with
saving Israel. Likewise in every generation there are
meshichim from below who are the forefathers of the
meshichim of the generations; their helpers belong to their
categories. The two meshichim appear in many different
aspects according to their missions and deeds, each one by
his flag with the letters of his forefathers. They are
“a scepter and a lawgiver.” It was promised
that “the scepter will not leave Judah, nor a lawgiver
from between his feet.” This means that they appear in
all generations. They are “the wood of Yosef and the
wood of Judah.” Whenever they appear, at first the wood
will be in pieces “in your hand.” Finally, they will
become one in the hand of G-d. They are the holy ox and
holy donkey who wage war against the impure ox and impure
donkey, i.e., Ismael and Esau. They hold fast to two hosts
that are 499 from the right section and 499 from the left
section, which equal 1000 minus one, like the gematria of
[999] “’the foot of an ox and donkey’, ” as revealed
in the verse: “happy are you who sow on all water.” They
are the “’feet of G-d’” that are in Netzach and
Hod. They stand firmly in the gates of Jerusalem. This is
what is meant by “our feet in your gates, O Jerusalem, ”
as already mentioned.
5. There are many appellations to cover different
aspects of the two meshichim. These are: “a star has
come out of Jacob, and a scepter has risen from Israel”
[Num. 24:17] -- “Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of
Jephuneh” [Num. 14:6] -- “they will obtain joy and
gladness” [Isa. 35:10] -- “the sons of Jacob and
Yosef, Selah” [Ps. 77:16] -- the light of the moon and
the light of the sun [Isa. 30:26].
-- There are references and hints regarding two
meshichim in the Bible [i.e., a duality or plural form
appears]: “your children will be students of the Lord,
and your children’s peace will be abundant” [Isa.
54:13]; the two cherubim; the two apples (“spread apples
about me” [Song 2:5], as is known); “rivulets of
water” [Song 5:12]; the two hosts, of the right and of
the left; “they will certainly come with joyful song”
[the verb ’to come’ appears twice, though in a
different grammatical form] (the words quoted go together
with: “the one who bears the measure of seeds” [Ps.
126:6]); the learning of Torah and performance of deeds of
lovingkindness -- “saviors on Mount Zion” [Ov. 1:21];
guards of the walls of Jerusalem -- the quality of Din and
the quality of Lovingkindness; “the horns of an ox”
[Deut. 33:17]; “the holy ones in the earth, and the
mighty; all my delight is in them” [Ps. 16:3]; “the
humble
[the plural form is used] of the earth” [Ps. 76:10];
“the humble [the plural form is used] shall inherit the
earth” [Ps. 37: 11]; “’the sealed deed and the open
deed’” that were hidden in pottery in Anatot [Jer.
32]; “the feet of the herald” [Isa. 52:7]; the homes
of the righteous about which it is written: “those who
trust in the Mount of the Lord, in Mount Zion”; “the
sound of your observers; they raise their voices [in
unison] ... because every eye [the word ’eye’ appears
twice] will see when the Lord returns to Zion, ” etc.
[Isa. 52:8]; “a strong city; it will be our salvation”
[Isa. 26:1]; “and you strong foundations of the earth”
[Micha 6:2]; the two aspects of “we will do and we will
obey” [Ex. 24:7] and the return of their crowns shortly,
as our Sages said on the verse: and “the redeemed of the
Lord will return and come to Zion with glad song, ” etc.
“they will obtain joy and gladness”;
north and south as is written: “awake, you from the
North; and come, you from the South” [Song 4:16] as is
known --
“You will raise up generations-old
foundations” [Isa. 58:12] (this verse is included among
the hints of my father, author of -- the words:
“’generations-old foundation’” equals [546]
> “‘the students of Elijah’” in gematria) -- The
words “the covenant of the forefathers” is in the line
of Mashiach ben Yosef.The words ! “the merit of the
forefathers” is in the line of Mashiach ben David. This
[the Shechina] will also be restored at the time of the
ingathering of the exiles, with the help of G-d. --
Regarding the words: “affection” and “love”:
“affection is in the line of Mashiach ben Yosef, as is
written in the Midrash: “abundant affection is known to
Zion”; and it is known that Zion is in the line of Yosef.
“Love” is in the line of Mashiach ben David, as it
says: “I have loved you with an everlasting love” [Jer.
31:2].
- - - G-d will establish our handiwork over us to
unify the two meshichim, as explained above, according to
the verses “every eye will see when G-d returns to Zion,
” etc.. The ‘handiwork’ refers to bodies set up to
handle the process of the Redemption, which includes: the
ingathering of exiles; the rebuilding of Jerusalem; the
routing of the impure spirit from the land and the
fulfillment of the commandments related to the land; the
redemption of Truth by setting up people of truth; and the
revelation of mysteries of the Torah - - -.
- ---Likewise the wisdom from below.
- - - - For with the revelation of the
Mashiach, and the 999 footsteps involved, the upper wisdom
and the lower wisdom will be revealed, as written in the
Holy Zohar: “In the 600th year of the Sixth Millennium,
the gates of the upper wisdom and of the lower wisdom will
be opened, the world will be repaired... in order to raise
the Knesset Israel from the dirt, ” etc. All these are
the mission of Rabbi Eliyahu, the Gaon of Israel, whose
light will last till the day is established with the aid of
the Rock of Israel and its Redeemer. Therefore, the Gaon
tried to understand with his holy spirit also the seven
wisdoms from below which are known to be like mixtures and
samples at the bottom of the mountain, in order to explain
the wisdom of the Torah and to hasten the Redemption --
whose great purpose is sanctification of G-d as is written:
“and all the peoples of the earth will see the salvation
of our G-d, ” also in order to repair the
world in the Malchut of the Almighty, etc.
As mentioned above, the goal of our work is to
promote the fulfillment of the commandment of ingathering
the exiles and settling the holy land as the way of the
beginning of the Redemption, as explained in the following
chapters, -- in order to hasten the Redemption in deed with
the awakening from below, and to rout the spirit of impurity
from the land. Then there will be a unification of the Holy
one blessed be He and the Shechina through the unification
of the two meshichim in a union and strong, everlasting,
bond, which is the mission of the two advocates of the
Jews, Hanoch and Eliyahu -- Metatron and Sandal ) and
together equal in gematria--a fact that is revealed in the
great mystery of “Kol HaTor”). This is the path to our
G-d so that the Shechina will return to Zion, and the
Redeemer will come, speedily in our day, Amen.
