BESHALACH

Shalom, Shalom. We commence this DEVAR TORAH by focusing our ATTENTION on the title of the PORTION. The title of the PARASHAT is BESHALACH. The IVRI transliteration BESHALACH is interpreted “SENT OUT.” This term is employed to DESCRIBE Pharaoh’s reaction to the 10th plague, that is, the death of the firstborn. The plague is a manifestation of SUPERNAL JUDGMENT. The purpose of SUPERNAL JUDGMENT is to ensure that what ECHAD decrees will come to pass, yea, His word will not return to Him void but rather will accomplish that which He has predetermined to do.

This event is the result of the MANAGEMENT of the UPPER FORCES. In it ECHAD is both the IMPETUS behind the ACTIONS of Moshe Rebeynu and PHARAOH. This EMET is based upon the revelation that there is nothing but G-d. It is written, “I am HASHEM and there is no other; other then Me there is no God; I will gird you, though you did not know Me, in order that those from east and west would know that there is nothing besides Me; I am HASHEM, and there is no other. [I am the One] Who forms light and creates darkness; Who makes peace and creates evil; I am HASHEM, Maker of all these.” (Isaiah 45:5-7) In this passage of NEVIIM, it is disclosed that ECHAD is both the POWER behind GOOD and EVIL. In other words, there is no other power, yea, the belief in another power is a form of IDOLATRY. The events that occur are all under the management of ECHAD. The knowledge of this EMET (truth) discloses that there is another goal in MIND that the CREATOR has other than what is commonly believed, that is, that we are here for the purpose of choosing our ETERNAL DESTINY. What is commonly believed gives rise to the actions of PHARAOH earning the recompense of ETERNAL DESTRUCTION. No doubt this would be unfair considering that it was G-d who hardened his heart against Him. The SCENARIO has a greater IMPLICATION than this. The IMPLICATION is that ECHAD is disclosing to ALL of CREATION His JUDGMENT on what occurs between GOOD and EVIL, yea, ultimately ALL will become a MANIFESTATION of the SUPERNAL. DIVINE JUDGMENT is destined to be comprehended as the PROCESS of the UNIVERSE BECOMING ONE with ECHAD as IT undergoes the UNFOLDMENT and the INFOLDMENT, yea, ECHAD will not be denied, the SERAPHIM calls out one to another, “Holy, holy, holy is HASHEM MASTER OF LEGIONS: the whole world is filled with His glory.” (Isaiah 6:3) The glory of ECHAD occupies ALL SPACE and TIME, where He is CONCEALED, it has been predetermined that HE will be REVEALED. The process is SUPERNAL JUDGMENT.
