1200 Years of Galut - 3 Versions

The Introduction to Tikkunei Zohar on page 4b

And immediately after it went up, "and they went without strength before the pursuer", and because of this the masters of the mishnah have set up, that everyone who says Amen Yehei Shmeh Rabba with all his might, (in heaven) they tear up a sentence of 70 years, that these 70 years, are after 1200 years, that the Beit HaMikdash was destroyed, and there are those that calculate it from the time that the Tamid ceased, because the Keitz of the Redemption is dependent on the level of Yaakov, which is the level of Truth, and that is what is written "Give truth to Yaakov" (Michah 7), which is the sign for 1290, and there are those that add a further 2, from "Close is Hashem to those that call Him, to all those that call Him in truth (in truth has 2 more in gematria), to know in the land Your ways, thus it is here with land, Aleph Ra"tz (i.e. Elef, or 1000, and Ra"tz which is the gematria of 290), 90, to fulfill with it Truth sprouts up from the Land, so that there will be a value of Land (i.e. 1290), but the sentence itself is 70 years.

Essentially, there are 3 uses of the 1200 years of Galut here:

• There are 1200 years after the Churban, followed by 70 years.
• There are 1200 years from the time of taking away of the Tamid, followed by 70/90 years.
• There are 1200 years from the time of taking away the Tamid, followed by 72 years.

I would propose that each one is correct, and is talking about different understandings of similar teachings.

• The 1200 years after the Churban, followed by 70 years in which we could do tikkun, the 70th year falls a few years after the end of the period where Galut is for the Sin of Mechirat Yosef.  Essentially, then, the 1200 years and the 70 are a deadline for tikkun.
• The 1200 years after the taking away of the Tamid, followed by the 70/90 years (and eventually 135 years to complete the 1335), this seems to be a hint at the main year count of the Zohar in Parshat Vayera 119 and Shemot 9/10.
• The 1200 years from the taking away of the Tamid, followed by 90 years, as I detailed here.

Zohar - VaYechi 212b

Come and see "And Yosef died (at the age of) 110 years".  Rebbi Shimon opened and said "Behold the maiden is pregnant and is giving birth to a son, and you shall call him Imanuel" (Yeshayah 7:14).  Pregnancy and birth that is filled for the exiles and great troubles and evil times, and even though it will be in these, the Queen is shaken and distanced from Her Husband, and She will be with us in Galut, (for) 110 years She was with us (as an) additional engraving, that is to say that it would pass from the Galut 110 years, and 290 they are 400 years.  And the Galut of Yaakov was only counted once Yosef died.  "And the days of the years of Yaakov's life were one hundred fourty seven, here is hte secret of the Galut in its count, fixed for the sons that are exiled, in Midat HaDin 3 exiles.  The first is of Mitzraim that is likened to 7 years.  Rebbi Chiya opened and said "I have imposed an oath upon you, daughters of Yerushalayim by gazelles or by the hinds, etc".

Rebbi Shimon said: from here "From a distance Hashem has appeared to me, and eternal love I have loved you" etc (Yirmiyahu 31).  Here is the secret in galut the decree that B'nei Yisrael will be allowed (in?) exiles, and that will want to say that the holy sons, who are exiled justly for their sins many years, it will be "7 like your sins" (Vayikra 26).  "For sevenfold will be put up for Kayin" (Breishit 4), in the first Galut of Mitzraim which is small.  The second, of the Shoftim, which is likened to 40 years, to 7 which are more numerous than it.

The 3rd exile that we are in is long, and is likened to 100 years to 40 years.  And that is what the Upper One revealed when he said "And from the time of the cessation of the Tamid and to the giving of the destolate abomination. (Daniel 12)"

Zohar VaYera 1:116a - 117a

Rebbi Yose said: And like this it is written: I am Hashem, in its time I will hasten it (Yeshayahu 60:22), what is "in its time"? In the time of ה that will arise from the dust, like this "I will hasten it". Rebbi Yose said: And will all this, Knesset Yisrael is in the dust for one day and not more. Rebbi Yehudah said: thus they have said, but come and see this secret that we have learned, in the hour that Knesset Yisrael will be exiled from its place, thus the letters of the Holy Name will (kivyachol) be separated, that the ה and the ו separate. And because they separate, what is written? "I was made mute with silence" (Tehillim 39:3). Because the ו went away from the ה, and a voice was not to be found, and thus the speech was made mute, and because of this she lays in the dust all of that day of ה, and what is that day? The 5th millenium. And this is in spite of the fact that they went in to Galut before the beginning of the 5th millenium, the secret of the ה. And when 6th millenium comes, which is the secret of the ו, thus the ו will raise up the ה, at the time of 6 times 10. And thus are completed 60 souls of ו. Ten times 6, 6 times 10. The ו goes out in י, and ו goes down in ה, the וא"ו completes in 10 (a total of) 6 times, and thus it is 60 to raise from the dust, and at every 60 during the 6th millenium, the ה"א goes out in its level to become strengthened.

And in 600 years to the 6th millenium, the gates of upper wisdom will open, and the wells of lower wisdom, and the world will be repaired to go up to the 7th millenium, like a man that is repairs himself on the 6th day in the afternoon to go up to Shabbat, thus it is here, and the sign fo this is "And in the 600th year to the life of Noach" etc (Breishit 7:11) "all the great springs of the deep opened up."

Rebbi Yose said to him: All this is a much greater amount of time from what the friends have stated, that it is 1 day for the Galut of Knesset Yisrael, and not more, as it is written: "He has given me as desolate and faint for an entire day" (Eichah 1:13).

He said to him: Thus we have learned from my father: In the secrets of the letters of the Holy Name, and in the days of the years of the world, and in the days of Creation, it is all one secret, and thus it is seen in the rainbow of the cloud in bring layers, like a woman that adorns herself for her husband, as it is said "And I will see it and remember the eternal covenant" (Breishit 9:15), and thus they have learned it well. "And I will see it" in bright layers as is proper, and thus "to remember the eternal covenant". What is the eternal covenant? That is Knesset Yisrael. And the ו will join with the ה and raise her from the dust, like you say "And G-d remembered His covenant" (Shemot 2:24), that is Knesset Yisrael which is (called) Brit (covenant), like you say "and it will be for a sign of a covenant", etc. And when the ו will awaken to the ה, upper wonders will be aroused in the world, and the sons of Reuven are ready to bring battles in the whole world, and Knesset Yisrael will arise from the dust, and HaKadosh Baruch Hu will remember her, and HaKadosh Baruch Hu will be found by Her in Galut, at the calculation of וא"ו six times 10, 10 times 6 years, and thus she will arise and the world will be remembered (the Pekidah will occur) to make vengance, and he who is low will be raised up.

Rebbe Yose said to him: You have spoken well, because that is in the secret of the letters, and we should not arouse to make calculations and other end times.

____________________

There is another bit of this ma'amar between here and the Zohar Vayera 1:117a that I have already posted. I might fill in this piece later.

Zohar Chadash Sitrei Torah - Mechirat Yosef

That Jew begin and said: "And me, closeness to G-d is good for me, etc" (Tehillim 73). Come and see, for when a person comes close to Torah, which is called good, as it is written "The Torah of your mouth is good for me" (Tehillim 119), then he comes close to HaKadosh Baruch Hu, who is also called good, as it is written "Hashem is good to all" (Tehillim 145). Then he comes close to being a tsaddik. Like that which you say "Say a righteous person, for it is good" (Yeshayahu 3), and when he is a tsaddik, the Shechinah dwells upon him, and teaches him upper secrets of the Torah, because the Shechinah doesn't connect to anything by good, for tsaddik and tsedek go together (Tsaddik = righteous person, Tsedek = righteousness).

Zohar Chadash - Mechirat Yosef

Come and see how many years that Tsaddik (Yosef) sat, that he didn't see his father for 22 years. And behold these (years) sat in Mitzraim, 22 years, for every tribe from the 10 tribes that sold him, and according to this calculation, they are 220 years for all of them. Take out of them 10 years, that they took in Din that is Above, because of the 10 holy tribes that perished in Mitzraim, you are left with 210 years. And that is what is written רדו שמה (Go down there. Go down is equal to 210 in Gematria).

Come and see that when the sins caused (punishment) and this Shabbat was not observed as needed, which is written "Don't take out a load from your house on the day of Shabbat" (Yirmiyahu 17). Don't load upon yourselfs a load of sins, that the day of Shabbat was what protected you.

And they didn't listen to the prophet, and the vengeful sword was arroused to avenge the covenant. What is the covenant? That is Shabbat, as it is written "For their generations an eternal covenant" (Shemot 31), and Brit Milah, about which it is written "And holy skin will be passed from upon you (Yirmiyahu 11), and the covenant of the tsaddik, which they sold him.

And it is all in one level: Shabbat, Brit Milah, and Tsaddik. And that is a secret: For 3 sins of Yisrael and (for the) fourth I will not return it (Amos 2), and all were dependent on their sale of a tsaddik for silver. And then they because to subservant to "seven for your sins". And it was decreed upon them 70 years of Galus Bavel, and on the sins of Shmitah and Yovel, which are dependent on the Great Shabbat and the regular Shabbat.

And afterwards they came to the Holy Land, and settled it for 420 years, to make up for the 70 Shmitot and the 70 years are 10 years for every day, from those that suckle from the Seventh, that the Great Shabbat is also called the Seventh from below to above (referring to Binah) Which includes as one Zachor and Shamor. And afterwards they were in 420 years in the land, in the power of the Torah which they toiled in.

And when the sin of Baseless Hatred (Sinat Chinam) caused , the original baseless hatred was aroused. Which is what is written "And they hated him", that very tsaddik. And then HaKadosh Baruch Hu gave them in to the hands of the one that hates them a baseless hatred, which is written of Edom: "Because you have had a hatred of old, and you have thrown the children of Israel by a sword" (Yehezkel 35).

And then it was taken from them, by the count of the years, that they were lacking in the secret of "Seven upon your sins" (Vayikra 26). Come and see, when you count the 22 years 7 times, for all of the 10 that sold him, you have 1540 years.

Their cries did not go up before him. Rebbi Yitzhak said: when HaKadosh Baruch Hu does Din in the upper realm, what is it? Rebbi Elazar said: That he passes it in that river Dinur, and passes them from their control (memshalah), and from that control, other controls of the other nations. He said to him, thus it is written "His servants are a burning fire" (Tehillim 104) He said to him, there is fire that is harsher than fire, and there is fire that extinguishes fire.

(That is the end of the Maamar from the Zohar Chadash, there is another similar, but longer maamar in Sitrei Torah there. Hopefully I'll be able to type that in as well.)

The Year Count of the Zohar

As I brought a few months back, the Rambam says that our year count is based on Adam HaRishon being born in year 2.

Therefore:

• Yetziat Mitzraim was in 2449.
• Binyan Bayit Rishon was 2929
• Churban Bayit Rishon was 3339
• Binyan Bayit Sheini was 3409
• Churban Bayit Sheini was 3829

3929 was a Shmitah year, and therefore we just continue the count from this.

It appears from a couple of predictions regarding Acharit HaYamim in the Zohar that the writers of the Zohar did not count from year 2, but rather year 1.

• The Introduction to the Tikkunei Zohar on page 4 talks of 1200 years and then 70 years and then 2 more years = 1272. The GR"A says there that 1272 + 3828 = 5100
• The Zohar Chadash in Maamar Darach Kochav MiYaakov talks about a year with Shmitah and Yovel, and says it is 274 years "from" the 6th millenium. 6000 - 274 = 5726. This is 1 year prior to the Yovel calculation that I've shown here, which is based on the Rambam. The Zohar Chadash there seems to be referring to the same year, but we need to add 1 to arrive at our calendar system's year.

The switch to the Tohu system (i.e. where the first year on the calendar is the Tohu Year, before creation of man) is late, perhaps the time of the Gemara (feel free to comment here with proofs either way). The traditions themselves that are the foundation for the Zohar's teachings, are indeed very old.

Pshat of Zohar Kitzim

This is a restatement and addition to this post.

• Zohar Shemot 9-10: Refers to 1200 years of exile, to be followed by 66 years until Moshiach. 1266 + 3828 = 5094, less than 100 years after the Zohar was published.
• The Introduction to Tikkunei Zohar (with the peirush of the GR"A): Seems to say that it is 1200 + 72, or 1272 + 3828 = 5100. Round number.

The common denominator between these is that these dates are shortly after the publishing of the Zohar. These two basic teachings show up in other places, these two suffice for now.

• Zohar Chadash Maamar al Mechirat Yosef: Says that after Churban Bayit Sheini, there will be 1540 years of Tikkun for Sinat Chinam / Mechirat Yosef. 3828 + 1540 = 5368. After this, it would be 17 years further for Moshiach ben Yosef to begin to stand against Esav.

This would seem to be, per the academic approach, hundreds of years after the Keitz in Zohar Shemot. But this too has the same feature. According to the introduction in the printing that I have, the Zohar Chadash was first published in the year 5351 in Tsefat.

The Zohar seems to have a knack for being published slightly before the "pshat" Keitz that is listed in any volume.

The exception for this is the Keitz of 5408, which as I wrote before, appears to be a late addition anyway. By late, I mean not of the original teaching.

One might think from this that there is a spiritual Tikkun for learning these subjects starting close to their "pshat" dates.

Summary of Midrash Ne'elam

We are given 3 different year amounts given in the Midrash Ne'elam.

• 40 years
• 210/214 years
• 408 years

As I have mentioned elsewhere (in comments, and I believe also a post), part of this section of the Zohar explicitly states that all of the dead would be resurrected by the year 5408. You can see this in the prior post. It is worded in an odd way. First it says 408 years in the 6th millenium, and it gives a phrase from the Chumash as a sign for this. Then it gives another word from another verse in the Chumash as the sign, and then makes an explicit year statement of 5408.

The 210/214 year period seems to be the years that Tsaddikim will be resurrected before the 408 years are complete.

The 40 year period that is before this can be read two ways. One is that it is 40 years for the process of Kibbutz Galuyot, another is that it is 40 years between the completion of Kibbutz Galuyot and Techiyat HaMeitim. A close reading of the text indicates that there will be 40 years of peace, after the wicked are no more and troubles have left Israel. The text refers specifically to the troubles of the end of the book of Daniel. The 40 years would therefore start at the same time as them, or immediately after they are finished.

Midrash Ne'elam Hebrew/Aramaic Text

I'm posting this here so that we can look at the text in the original. I will most likely highlight, underline, or make paragraph breaks here.

ויזד יעקב נזיד, רבי בא בשם רבי אחא אמר, לעולם טבעו של עולם אינו משתנה, בא וראה מה כתיב, ויזד יעקב נזיד, כמה דאת אמר (שמות יח יב) אשר זדו עליהם, ותרגומו דחשיבו, כלומר הלב חושב ומהרהר בתורה בידיעת בוראו, מה כתיב ויבא עשו מן השדה והוא עיף, הכבד שדרך טבעו לצאת ולצוד ציד בפיו לבלוע, ואינו מוצא, נקרא עיף, והוא אומר ללב, עד שאתה מהרהר בדברים אלו בדברי תורה, הרהר באכילה ובשתיה לקיים גופך, הדא הוא דכתיב ויאמר עשו אל יעקב הלעיטני נא מן האדום האדום הזה, כי כן דרכי לבלוע הדם, ולשגר לשאר האברים, כי עיף אנכי בלא אכילה ושתיה, והלב אומר תן לי הראשון והמובחר מכל מה שתבלע, תן לי בכורתך, הדא הוא דכתיב מכרה כיום את בכורתך לי, קונמיתא דתאיבא, עד שהלב מהרהר וחושב במאכל, בולע הכבד, דאלמלי ההוא כסופא והרהורא דלבא במאכל, לא יוכלו הכבד והאברים לבלוע, דאמר רבי יוסי, כן דרך העבדים שאינם אוכלים עד שהאדון אוכל. אמר רבי יוסי, כתיב לאחר כן, ויעקב נתן לעשו לחם ונזיד עדשים, מהו עדשים סגלגלין כגלגלתא, וגלגלא סביב בעלמא, כלומר דלא אתנשי מארחיה, כך הוא בר נש בההוא זמנא, אף על גב דכל ההוא טיבו ויקר ושלימותא ליהוי, ארחיה דעלמא למיכל ולמשתי לא יתנשי.

מתניתין, תנן ארבע רוחות העולם מנשבן, ועתיד קודשא בריך הוא להתעורר רוח אחד לקיים הגוף, שיהא כלול מד' רוחות, הדא הוא דכתיב (יחזקאל לז ט) מארבע רוחות באי הרוח, בארבע לא כתיב, אלא מארבע רוחות העולם, שיהא כלול מארבעתם, ותאנא אותו הרוח הוא רוח המוליד, הוא הרוח האוכל ושותה, ואין בין העולם הזה לימות המשיח אלא שעבוד מלכיות בלבד, ואין בין העולם הזה לתחיית המתים אלא נקיות והשגת ידיעה, רב נחמן אמר, ואריכות ימים, אמר רב יוסף וכי ימות המשיח ותחיית המתים לאו חד הוא, אמר ליה לא, דתנן בית המקדש קודם לקבוץ גליות, קבוץ גליות קודם לתחיית המתים, ותחיית המתים הוא אחרון שבכלם, מנא לן דכתיב (תהלים קמז ב) בונה ירושלם יהו"ה, נדחי ישראל יכנס, הרופא לשבורי לב ומחבש לעצבותם, זו היא תחיית המתים, שהיא הרפואה לשבורי לב על מתיהם, בונה ירושלם תחלה, ואחריו נדחי ישראל יכנס, והרופא לשבורי לב אחרון על הכל.

It says here from Kibbutz Galuyot until Techiyat HaMeitim, implying that the 40 years is not of Kibbutz Galuyot. This seems to imply that the finishing of Kibbutz Galuyot is the beginning of the 40 years. It goes on to relate this period to the troubles of Daniel 12 (which are really the troubles of Daniel 11).

תנן ארבעים שנה קודם הקבוץ גליות לתחיית המתים, כדאמרינן ויהי יצחק בן ארבעים שנה, האי ארבעים שנה מאי עבידתייהו, אמר רב כהנא אמר רבי ברוקא, מקבוץ גליות עד תחיית המתים כמה צרות כמה מלחמות יתעוררו על ישראל, ואשרי הנמלט מהם, דכתיב (דניאל יב א) ובעת ההיא ימלט עמך כל הנמצא כתוב בספר, רבי יהודה אמר מהכא, יתבררו ויתלבנו ויצרפו רבים, רבי יצחק אמר מהכא (זכריה יג ט) וצרפתים כצרוף את הכסף ובחנתים כבחון את הזהב, ובאותם הימים יהיו ימים אשר יאמרו אין לי בהם חפץ, ומשעה שיעברו הצרות עד תחיית המתים ארבעים שנה.

רב הונא אמר, תא חזי כי ארבעים שנה הלכו בני ישראל במדבר וגו', אשר לא שמעו בקול יהו"ה, כהאי גונא (גופא) הכא, אמר רב יוסף כל אלין חד מלה אמרו, ולסוף ארבעים שנה שהצרות יעברו והרשעים יכלו, יחיו המתים שוכני עפר, מאי טעמא, משום דכתיב (נחום א ט) לא תקום פעמים צרה, ודי להם במה שעברו, ומזמן תחיית המתים יתיישב עלמא בישובו, הדא הוא דכתיב, ביום ההוא יהיה יהו"ה אחד ושמו אחד.

The bolded text below seems to be an original teaching, including a pasuk as a siman, and then the following language in italics regarding the Yovel is different language and pasuk, and then applies the 408 to the 5000, making 5408. The 5400 are written in Hebrew, the 8 in Aramaic.

רבי אלעזר בן ערך הוה יתיב, והוה קא מצטער בנפשוי טפי, עאל לקמיה רבי יהושע, אמר ליה חיזו נהירו דבוצינא דעלמא למה חשוכן, אמר ליה חיזו ודחילו סגי עאל בי, דהא אנא חמי מה דאתערו חברנא מארי מתניתא, דשראת עלייהו רוח קדישין, וההוא דאתערו דבשתיתאי יהא פורקנא שפיר, אבל אנא חמי אורכא יתירא על אינון דיירי עפרא, דבאלף שתיתאי לזמן ארבע מאות ותמניא שנין מניה, יהיו קיימין כל דיירי עפרא בקיומיהון, ובגיני כך אתערו חבירנא על פסוקא דקרא לון בני ח"ת, ח"ת דיתערון לח"ת שנה, והיינו דכתיב (ויקרא כה יג) בשנת היובל הזאת תשובו איש אל אחוזתו, כשישתלם הז"את, שהוא חמשת אלפים וארבע מאות ותמניא, תשובו איש אל אחוזתו, אל נשמתו שהיא אחוזתו ונחלתו.

The grammar of bolded sentence here is very difficult.

(עוד) אמר רבי יהושע, לא תקשי לך האי, דהא תנינן שלש כתות הן, של צדיקים גמורים ושל רשעים גמורים ושל בינונים, צדיקים גמורים יקומון בקימה של מתי ארץ ישראל, מהיום כמה שנים, שהם קודמים בתחלה בשנת הארבעים של קבוץ גליות, והאחרונים כלם לזמן ארבע מאות ושמנה שנה לאלף הששי כדקאמרן, מאן יזכה להאי ארכא, מאן יתקיים בקיום דתיה בין האי זמנא, ועל דא אצטעירנא בנפשאי.

This is a common teaching with the Tikkunim from th Zohar Chadash (on the Keitz of (2)56). All the calculations are for the condition that Am Yisrael doesn't do Teshuvah first.

אמר ליה רבי, הא תנינן (בראשית א ג) יהי או"ר, יהי ר"ז, חזר ואמר בתשובה יתקדם כלא, אמר רבי יהושע אי לאו דאמרת הכי, אחסימנא פומין למצפי פורקנא כל יומא, דכתיב (ישעיה לג ו) חסן ישועות, מהו ישועות, אלו המצפים ישועות בכל יום, מאי הוא דעתוי דרבי אלעזר, היינו דכתיב (דניאל יב ב) ורבים מישני אדמת עפר יקיצו, משמע דכתיב מישני, אלו הם הצדיקים הנקדמים בחייהם קודם זה, וכמה שנים הם נקדמים, רבי יהודה אומר מאתים ועשר שנים, רבי יצחק אומר רד"י שנה, דכתיב (במדבר כד יט) ויר"ד מיעקב וגומר, יר"ד שנה נקדמים הצדיקים לשאר כל אדם, רב נחמן אמר, לפי השיעור שנבלה בעפר, אמר ליה רבי יוסי, אם כן הרבה תחיות הוו, אלא כל התחיות יהיו באותן הזמן, והאי דאתמר בחזון (דניאל י א) ואמת הדבר וצבא גדול:

Zohar 1:138b-140a Midrash Ne'elam

"And Yaakov was cooking stew" (Breishit 25:29) - Rebbi Ba in the name of Rebbi Acha said: The nature of the world never changes. Come and see what is written, "And Yaakov was cooking stew", like you see written אשר זדו עליהם (Shemot 18:12), and the translation is that they thought, that is to say the heart thought and the considered Torah and the knowing of its Creator, what is written "and Esav came from the field and he is tired", the liver whose way it is to go out and hunt and his prey is in his mouth and he swallows, and he doesn't find, is called tired, and he says to the heart, until you think words, these are words of Torah, think of eating and drinking to sustain your body. That is what is written "And Esav said to Yaakov, pour me please from that red stuff", for it is my way to swallow the blow, and to destroy the rest of the limbs, for I am tired without eating and drinking, and the heart says give me the first and choicest of all that you swallow, give me your birthright, that is what is said "sell me today your birthright", ( קונמיתא דתאיבא), until the heart considers and thinks of food, swallows the liver, for if it weren't for the desire and the thought of the heart for food, the liver and the limbs couldn't swallow, as Rebbi Yose said, thus is the way of servants that they don't eat until the master eats. Rebbi Yose said, it is written afterwards "And Yaakov gave to Esav bread and lentil stew", what are these lentils that roll like a sphere, and a sphere surrounds the world, that is to say it doesn't change its path, thus is humankind at that time, inspite of all the good and honor and completeness that will be, the way of the world to eat and drink will not change.

Mishnah - It is taught - Four winds/spirits go throughout the world, and in the future HaKadosh Baruch Hu will arouse 1 wind/spirit to sustain the body, which will contain 4 winds/spirits. That is what is written "From four winds/spirits come, oh wind/spirit." (Yehezkel 37:9) "In four" is not written, but rather from the 4 winds/spirits of the world, that it will include them all. And it is taught that this spirit is the spirit of childbearing (המוליד), the spirit that eats and drinks, and

There is no difference between this world and the Days of Moshiach except the servitude of the nations alone, and there is no difference between this world and the Resurrection of the Dead except cleanliness and achievement of knowledge.

Rav Nachman says, also length of life. Rav Yosef said, is not the Days of Moshiach and Resurrection of the Dead the same thing (same period of time)? He said to him, no. As it is taught: Beit HaMikdash is before Kibbutz Galuyot, Kibbutz Galuyot preceeds Resurrection of the Dead, and Resurrection of the Dead is last of them all. From where do we get this? "Builder of Yerushalayim Hashem, dispersed of Yisrael He will gather, the Healer of broken hearts, and bind their wounds" (Tehillim 147:2). That is Resurrection of the Dead which is healing for the broken of heart on their dead, and the building of Yerushalayim is first, and afterwards the dispersed of Yisrael He will gather, and the Healer of the broken of heart last of them all. It is taught: Kibbutz Galuyot precedes the Resurrection of the Dead by 40 years, as we say "And Yitzchak was 40 years old", what do we do with this 40 years? Rav Kahana said in the name of Rebbe Broka, from Kibbutz Galuyot to Resurrection of the Dead many troubles and wars will be aroused on Yisrael, and happy is he who escapes them, as it is written"And at that time your nation will escape, all written in the book" (Daniel 12:1). Rebbe Yehudah says from here: "Many will be clarified and whitened and purified". Rebbe Yitzchak says from here "And I will purify them like the purifying of silver, I will examine them like the examining of gold" (Zechariah 13:9), and in those days, there will be days that they will say I don't want them, and from the hour that these troubles will pass until Resurrection of the Dead is 40 years. Rav Huna said, come and see, for 40 years Bnei Yisrael went in the desert, etc, that they didn't listen to the voice of Hashem, and like that here. Rav Yosef said all this that they said is the same thing, that at the end of the 40 years that the troubles pass and the wicked are finished, the dead will live, those that lie in the dust, what is the reason? For it is written "Trouble will not arise twice" (Nachum 1:9), and it is enough what they experienced already. And from the time of Resurrection of the Dead, the world will be settled properly, that is what is written "And on that day Hashem will be One and His Name One."

Rebbe Elazar ben Arach was sitting, and was very sad, Rebbe Yehoshua came in front of him, and he said behold the light of the lamp of the world, why is it so dark, he said to him: I saw it and great fear came upon me, that I see what will come upon our friends, the masters of the Mishnah, that the Ruach haKodesh rests upon them, and this that will awaken in the 6th millenium will be a great redemption, but I see the extra length for those that have already passed, for in the 6th millenium, at the time of 408 years from it, all the dead will rise before them, and because of this, the masters of the Mishnah have said to them "B'nei Chet" (from Parshat Chayei Sarah), Chet that will awake to/for 408 years, which is what is written (Vayikra 25:13) In this (HaZot, gematria 408) Yovel Year, you will return, every man to his portion. When "this" will be completed, which is 5408, you will return, every man to his portion, to his soul which is his portion and inheritance.

Rebbi Yehoshua said: But don't let it trouble you, for we have learned there are 3 groups, the completely righteous, the completely wicked, and those in the middle. The completely righteous will be among the dead of Eretz Yisrael.

From that time, how many years do they precede [the others] in the beginning of year forty of Kibbutz Galuyot? All of the others [rise] at 408 years in the sixth millennium, as we use the term. Who will merit such length; who will maintain his faith for such a period? That is why I suffered in my soul.

Rebbi Yehoshua said to him: Consider the teaching “let their be light” equals [in gematria] “let there be secret”. [Rebbi Elazar] resumed, saying: With repentance everything will be sooner. Said rabbi Yehoshua: If you would not say this, the mouths of those who expect redemption every day would be silenced. As it says (Yeshayahu 33): “a store of redemptions”. What are these redemptions? Those who expect redemption every day.

What is the opinion of Rebbi Elazar? That what is written (Daniel 12): “and many of who sleep in the dust will wake up” refers to those who are given priority in their resurrection. And how many years are they given priority? Rabbi Yehuda said: 210 years. Rebbi Yitzchak said: 214 years, as it is written (Bamidbar 24) “from Yaakov will come down,” etc. The Tsadikim will precede all other people 214 [gematria of “will come down”] years. Rebbi Nachman said: According to the time that was spent in the dust. Rebbi Yosi replied: If that would be so there would be many resurrections. However, all resurrections will be at the same time, and that is what was said (Daniel 10) in the vision: “And the word is true and applies to the far future.”

Zohar Behar - Shmitah and Yovel

In a prior post, I quoted the following from the Zohar:

At the time of the End of Days, according to the hour of the day, at the time that the sun shines, from the 6th Day, at the time that is ready according to the count of years, of Yovel and Shmitah together, which is רע"ד (Raa'd, 274 in Gematria) from the 6th Day. At that time a single voice is prepared to awaken at the heights of the upper heavens, a sad and bitter voice, such that hasn't been since the day that the world was created.

The Zohar (Raya Mehemna on Parshat Behar 118:b) says the following about Shmitah and Yovel:

Shmitah is the lower Shechinah, which is from 7 years. Yovel is of Upper Imma, Binah, which is for 50 years, and in it B'nei Yisrael will establish their geneologies when they come out of Galus.

Zohar Pinchas 3:230b

Zohar:

And because of this, Chayot of fire above speak like the branches of the tree, that they come together in the happiness of the bridegroom and the bride. And in what place? In Kriat Shma which there is "and I heard the voice of their wings" which are the 64 for 4 wings, 4 times 64 is 256, which is רנו ליעקב שמחה (Be glad, Yaakov, happiness) (Yirmiyahu 31). When? After he takes vengance on those that hate him and burn their gods, and that is what is written ובאבוד רשעים רנה (And in the destruction of the wicked, happiness) (Mishlei 11)

Yahel Ohr of the GR"A:

"Ronu", etc, until "When?": That is to say that the time of Ronu is a Keitz as is written in Tikkunei Zohar Chadash.

Zohar Chadash: Darach Kokhav MiYaakov

If anyone knows how to make this blog post not show the entire text, and have a "Click here for more" button, please post in the comments.

A star went out from Yaakov. Rebbe, Rebbe, so many sealed secrets are included here. He opened and said "And Hashem Elokim put sleep on the man and he slept (Breishit 2). When HaKadosh Baruch Hu created Adam HaRishon, He created him with 2 faces, and they would connect together without separation. What is the reason? For it is written "male and female He created them", without separation, and it isn't written "He created him" but "He created them".

Because they were created, they were 1 with the other, equal. What did HaKadosh Baruch Hu do? He cut them apart with a separation. He took the female from him, fixed her with a few repairs, adorned her with some adornments, and dressed her with some clothes.

In what place? In Gan Eden He fixed her. How many adornments did he adorn her (with)? 70. They are the 70 faces of the Torah. How many repairs did he repair her? 13 repairs. These are the 13 midot that the Torah is expounded with. How many clothes did he dress her with? 6. These are the 6 orders of the Mishnah, in 6 faces.

All these repairs, all these adornments, all these clothes, HaKadosh Baruch Hu did for her there in Gan Eden, and afterwards brought her to the man (Adam). And where was Adam? At the place of the point of Tzion, where the Beit HaMikdash is. And from there He took them, and brought them to Gan Eden, and blessed them the Blessing of Grooms.

And this is the secret, "a star went out from Yaakov". He went and adorned and repaired that star, which was taken from Yaakov. That because of this, it will be revealed for her who will be revealed. For this he came to her, and is drawn from above below. And sceptor will rise from Yisrael, this is the Tree of Life. And will rise: like you say (in Breishit 6) and I will stand up my covenant.

And when this will occur, "he will smite the corners of Moav", etc. All these sides are bound up in the lower tree, will pass and leave her. Then, "And the man said, this time" (Breishit 2). That is the time of enjoyment, to enjoy together and not like other times that the evil side is bound up between us. But now there is no mixture of the Sitra Achra with us, but rather "bone from my bones", and not another partnership with evil.

"Bone from my bones", light of the real enlightening vision. "And flesh from my flesh", clothing from that clothing that he was dressed in and my Upper Light. "To this will be called woman", in the upper government on the whole world, that will not leave forever. Then, "it shall break all these kingdoms to pieces, and it will stand forever" (Daniel 2:44)

"I see him, but not now" - This seeing that I see, I will see it in the future, to come together as one. "But not now", in Galus Bavel, and in that House (Beit HaMikdash) that was built by Olei Golah (Those that left the Galus for Eretz Yisrael). "I behold him" - I will in the future look at him face to face. "But not near" - rather in the last House (the 3rd Beit HaMikdash). That between this and that, it wasn't at rest, and there wasn't closeness and togetherness as is proper.

Oy Rebbe, Oy Rebbe, how difficult is this thing, how long is the time, evil upon evil, the times that Am Yisrael is in Galus, and how much will the animals control, and how much will they try to rip apart the weak of Yisrael, at every time until the End of Days.

At the time of the End of Days, according to the hour of the day, at the time that the sun shines, from the 6th Day, at the time that is ready according to the count of years, of Yovel and Shmitah together, which is רע"ד (Raa'd, 274 in Gematria) from the 6th Day. At that time a single voice is prepared to awaken at the heights of the upper heavens, a sad and bitter voice, such that hasn't been since the day that the world was created.

And that voice will be fine (דק), in secret, in bitterness, in sadness, going down and up, up and down, and thus it will say: "I had a beloved doe from the old days, but it forgot me. I had strong love with her. I remember that the form of her face was impressed on my heart and on my arm, and my love for her was strong within me, and the flames burned within me."

At that hour, he will cry three cries, one after another, and all the heavens will shake, and all the worlds will shake, until 3 voices are heard, in to the Tanin fish (נונא תנינא), and will run away 400,000 parsaot to one fish in the sea. There it will put out its traps and nets, and pull it from the sea, and bring it to the Yeshiva in the heavens, and see from it all the problems and disagreements that will be presented there. And he will be stuck there 150 days.

And at that time, HaKadosh Baruch Hu will gather all the hosts of heaven, and all the members of his Yeshivah, and He is above them all, and they are bringing before him that Tanin, and they will tie 3 knots on his neck, and take his 3 beloved ones, and return him to the place he is held. And his beloeved ones will enter one sanctuary which is called Ahavah (Love) and they will be hidden there.

And HaKadosh Baruch Hu will impose an oath on all of these hosts, and to these 2 Yeshivot, that all of them go, and hear the voice of the beloved, that He desires to hear her voice with them. At that time there will be aroused on the Holy Nation troubles, one on top of the other, with great force, and they cry out cry after cry, tears after tears, and they awaken her. And he sounds her voice out for her children.

And HaKadosh Baruch Hu calls and says, this is my doe, my friend, my dove, my complete one that sits in gardens, that would only sit in the hidden part of the cliff on the inside, like you say "All the honor of the daughter of the king is on the inside" (Tehillim 45), and now she is in the gardens (Shir HaShirim 8), boldly, like a mother going after her son, in the market and open areas of the city, in fear to make sure they won't hurt him.

My doe, my friend, look, behold all of the friends of the 2 Yeshivot are here. Friends/members of those Yeshivot are listening to your voice, make it heard! (Shir HaShirim 8) for My desire is to hear your voice.

How long it has been since I last heard your voice, that I didn't know you. Then all the inhabitants of the world were mixed, people in people, nation in nation. And he who isn't worthy to rule, they bring him to be in charge. And they bring with him foreign nations and different tongues, that don't know justice, and not the laws of rulership. And how many wars they consider making.

And in a soft lip, soft speech, he (referring to the one above who is not worthy to rule) will do as he desires, and rule. He will think some thoughts to do evil. And for the Unique Nation he will make evil decrees. Then there will be trouble upon trouble upon that Unique Nation. At that time Hakadosh Baruch Hu will be strengthened, and He will appease His doe a few different appeasements, and He will take her and raise her up from the dirt, Him and none else, and the 2 Yeshivot will remain with her.

Three kings will remain, and will awaken at 3 sides of the world on this nation, and that king that would rule with a soft mouth, will rule with great anger, and strength on the Holy Nation.

And in the 3rd month (Sivan), on the 4th of the month, at 9 and 1/2 hours, all the members of the Yeshivah will go with the doe, to the grave of the shepherd, the faithful of His house, and give him 3 voices. At the time that the sun leaves the world, and his grave will open, and the members of the Yeshivah will want to go inside, but they will not be allowed, and all will go away to their places. And She will enter, and from her will go out what will go out. And she will find Moshe sitting and toiling (in Torah), and a candle lit before him, and some incense surrounding him.

And because he saw her entering, he will stand up and they will join together, and the voices will be aroused in the heights of heaven, and HaKadosh Baruch Hu will hear, and enter the Sanctuary of Ahavah, and take from there the three beloved ones, and open for them his cave. And then that night, Moshiach will be awakened, and he will be found with them, and they will go over secrets of Torah, that entire night, like in the cave of Moshe.

And when the first morning light comes up, Moshiach will be hidden, while Moshe and the Shechinah remain there on that day, like the day of Shavuot. And the Shechinah will go up on that mountain, and there will be 3 voices heard, 1 for Avrahahm, 1 for Yitzchak, and 1 for Moshe and Yaakov. That is what is written "On a high mountain rise up for yourself, you that tell good tidings of Tzion, raise your voice with strength" (Yeshayahu 40), etc, raise up and don't be afraid, speak, etc.

Raise your voice, raise your voice, speak. This "raise your voice in power", that is Teruah. "Raise your voice and don't fear", that is Tekiah. Speak, that is Teruah Tekiah and Teruah together. And that is called Shofar Teruah. Shofar from that Teruah above.

A small shofar, for there is another one called the big shofar. This small shofar goes like the movement of a candle, and that is what is written "And the voice of the shofar goes (Shemot 19). For the other shofar is hidden away, and doesn't go. Rather this small one, he is here on the day of Shavuot, for he awakens on the day of Torah, the day of Shavuot.

And in this awakening of the shofar, that the Teruah Tekiah and Teruah awaken, will awaken the Avot from the cave, and they will go up in a wind, and come to her. And from that voice, many wicked ones in the Holy Land will die, and leave the world. And on that day the prayers of Yisrael will go up in all of their places before The Holy King. And the Avot will come together, and will be at that mountain, and Moshe will go up with them. And there he will look at the Avot, and them at him. And all will enter in to the cave of Moshe, and Moshiach will awaken to them, and they will all join together on that day.

And on that day, the 10 tribes will awaken, to do war in the 4 directions of the world with the Moshiach which will be anointed upon them, and he will receive his anointment by a righteous Kohen, the 7 Faithful Shepherds with him.

And this Moshiach is from the tribe of Efraim, the seed of Yerovam ben Nevat, the son of Aviyah, that died in his youth, and that day that he died, there was a son born to him, and he was taken from the house of Yerovam to the desert. And 170 strong men took him there, all righteous men from the tribe of Efraim, that he wouldn't fall in to the sin of Yerovam.

And from this son of Aviyah, will go out this Moshiach. Therefore it is written "And all of Israel eulogized him and buried him" (Melachim Aleph 14) And this was sealed, this prophecy, for its time and prophecy for the future. For this by itself will come to Yerovam to his grave because there is something good found for Hashem, G-d of Israel in the house of Yerovam. That is Moshiach, which is a good thing for Hashem.

Because the Avot will know, that HaKadosh Baruch Hu is remembering His doe and His nation, there will be so much happiness upon happiness on that day. In the northern land, kingdom of Teiman, there will be trouble upon troubles on that day for Am Yisrael, and their prayers will be gladly accepted. And on the night of that day, the Shechinah will return to the house, and Moshiach to his place, and the Avot to their cave.

The Shechinah will go and return by Moshe for 70 days. At the end of 70 days, the cry of Israel will go up before the Holy King, that they are causing troubles for them at all corners of the world. And one Knesset on the south will be destroyed and lost. And amongst them 5 Righteous Men of Truth will be killed.

And then 32 days after they will kill that Knesset, HaKadosh Baruch Hu will dress that small shofar with zealotry. And that Moshiach ben Efraim will spread out a cover like a bull that his horns go up like an ox.

And that small shofar, will call out Teruah Tekiah and Teruah 3 times at the head of the mountain as at first, and then the flags of that Moshiach will travel, and a great noise will fall on the world by the voices of that shofar. And all the people of the world will see and hear. Like it says "All the residents of the land and, and dwellers of the earth like the raising of a staff will see, and like the blowing of the shofar you will hear" (Yeshayahu 18).

And then the idols in the Holy Land will be burned. And 3 wars the sons of Yishmael will do with Moshiach. And they will come and bow to the Ruler of the World on the Holy Mountain in Yerushalayim. And these wars will be in the 6th millenium.

And in the month of Bul (Cheshvan), the haters will fall, and all the remaining idols will be removed from the Holy Land. And from there they will go and arouse wars on the world. And will they are doing these wars with the people of the earth, the children of Edom will gather on the Holy Land, and capture it, and control it for 12 months.

At the end of 12 months, the entire world will erupt and quake. And between these times, the Shechinah will go and return to the cave of Moshe. And the Melech HaMoshiach will be hidden for 9 months, like the months of childbirth, and these 9 months, he will accept upon himself much pain and suffering.

And while this is happening, HaKadosh Baruch Hu increases his suffering, and he will enter in the paths of one tree, for he has a great, holy, and strong tree. And there in 70 branches, he will take the measurements of the diagonals, and take 70 appointed ones, that circle the 70 branches of the tree, to those measurements of the diagonals, and they will be found to be forbidden one weight of a measure and a half (וישתכחון אסורין חד תקלא דמכילא ופלגו). Then he will bring them down from every branch.

And many branches which are small and which aren't small will break when he brings them down, because they are caught up in the (main) branches, and will break coming down. Then many of the Holy Nation will break between the legs of the other nations. And all these appointed ones, will pass them through Nehar Dinur, and will have their control taken away.

And in the mean time, Moshiach will suffer much pain and suffering like a woman in childbirth. About this time it is written "Hashem will respond to you in the day of trouble" (Tehillim 20:1). That these 9 verses are like the months of pregnancy. And there are 70 words, like the 70 years in the 6th millenium, he will give birth and control the whole world. And because this is during the 9 months, they will be visible all night, from midnight onwards, a chariot of fire, and horses of fire outside of the heavens, that do war, one with another, until the morning light.

After these 9 months, HaKadosh Baruch will awaken this Moshiach, and bring him out of Gan Eden. And this day that he comes out, the whole world will shake, and everyone in the world will think that he is dying.

And on this day it is written "And they will go in to caves of rocks and in to holes in the earth from fear of Hashem" That is the Shechinah, that will be raised up from this time going forward, and the Moshiach with her. "And from the glory of His majesty" - that is the Moshiach, "when he arises to shake the earth." (Yeshayahu 2:19). And then "And he will gather the dispersed of Israel and the outcast of Yehudah he will gather" (Yeshayahu 11:12).

That is in 60 years of the 6th millenium, and they will go afterwards and HaKadosh Baruch Hu will do for them many miracles.

Zohar Raya Mehemna Pinchas 249a

This Raya Mehemna seems to be written as a commentary on the Zohar.

The Faithful Shepherd said: At that time, the masters of wisdom, etc, until: and the snake shall pass from the world, as it is printed in Acharei Mot 67b, and afterwards throughout what is written by that.

If you want to say that at 70 she goes in to labor and after 2 years gives birth after 1200, according to the calculation of רע"ב, that is what is written "before she goes in to labor she gives birth" (Yeshayahu 66:7), and the secret of the matter is "and it will be before they call and I will answer, they are still [speaking and I will hear] (Yoma 61). But before, meaning before they complete. These 72 after 1200 are the pains of birth, in which the 2 Moshiach's are revealed to the world, and in that time "and in His Sanctuary all say glory" (Tehillim 29:9). And we've already established that the Wise inherit Glory.

And at that time the masters of Torah will be glorified, those that suffered some birth pains like a woman giving birth and were despied amongst the Amei HaAretz will be glorified and immediately "Hashem sat (on His throne) for the flood" for the wicked. There is no flood but judgements of flood, like when the wells of the deep and the gates of heaven opened on the day of the flood. Also here the judgements will be awakened against them above and below until there is no end and all the disgrace that the nations of the Aku"m did in the world did, for Hashem and His people (i.e. the judgements are done for the sake of Hashem and Israel). And how many insults did Israel suffer from them in the name of Hashem? For all of them HaKadosh Baruch Hu takes revenge and for that reason it is said that Hashem avenges and keeps his wrath for them.

________________________

Yahel Ohr of the GR"A on Raya Mehemna 249a

And if you want to say: It brings up a seeming problem that it says in Acharei Mot that the 72 years after the 1200 she will give birth 2 years for 2 Moshiachs after the birth pangs, but isn't it written "before she goes in to labor she gives birth"? That is to say that the pain and difficulty of the servitude and the calling out to Hashem from the troubles.

Yoma: It needs to say here "and what is before?" That is to say, how is this "before"?

But before: An explanation to this seeming difficulty. That is to say that "before" (of the verse) is talking about before the 72 years complete.

______________________

Commentary

While the entire matter of 1200, etc, is about the Keitz B'Itah, and that from the side of strict judgement we should have to wait for these 72 years to be complete, in any event the Keitz is before 72. Guaranteed Achishenah even when the Keitz is B'Itah.

Zohar Vayera 1:119a

Rebbi Shimon opened up and said: "And I will remember My covenant with Yaakov" (Vayikra 26:42) . (Yaakov is written) full with a Vav, why? But in 2 sides is the secret of Chochmah, one which is a secret on the level of Chochmah, the place where Yaakov dwells, but this verse is said about the Galut of Israel, for when they are in Galus, the time that they are remembered (the House of Yaakov), they are remembered via the secret of Vav. And that is that in the 6th millenium, and the Rememberance (Pekidah) is in the secret of Vav, 6 moments and a half time and in the time of the 60th year to the bar on the door in the 6th millenium, the G-d of Heaven will raise a rememberance for the Daughter of Yaakov, and from that time until the Full Rememberance (Zechirah) will be 6 years and a half, and from that time another 6 years, and these are 72 and a half. In 66, the King Moshiach will be revealed in the Land of Galilee. And one star in the east will swallow 7 stars in the north, and a flame will be hanging in the sky for 60 days, and battles will be aroused in the world on the northern side, and 2 kings will fall in these battles, and all the nations of the world will gather on the Daughter of Yaakov, to push her out from the world, and on this time it is written "And it is a time of trouble for Yaakov, and from it he will be saved" (Yirmiyahu 30:7)

And thus the souls will finish from the body, and will need to be renewed. And the sign for this (the verse that has a hint for this) is "All of the souls that come to Yaakov to Mitzraim are 66" (Breishit 46:26).

At 73, all the kings of the world will gather in the large city of Rome, and HaKadosh Baruch Hu will arouse upon them fire and hail and algabish stones, and they will be lost from the world, except for those kings that didn't go to there, and they will return to fight other battles. And from that time, the King Moshiach will be aroused in the whole world, and some other nations and some other forces will gather with him, and all of B'nei Yisrael will be gathered in all those places, until the completion of those 100 years.

And thus the Vav will join with the Heh, and thus "And they will bring all of your brothers from all of the nations as an offering to Hashem" (Yeshayahu 66:20).

And the sons of Yishmael are ready at that time to arouse all the nations of the world to come upon Yerushalayim, as it says "And I will gather all of the nations to Yerushalayim for war" (Zecharya 14:2), and it is written "And the kings of the earth will gather and the rulers will take counsel on Hashem and his Moshiach" (Tehillim 2:2). And it is written "He who sits in Heaven laughs, Hashem derides them" (Tehillim 2:4). And afterwards, the small Vav will arouse to be joined, and will renew souls that were old, in order to renew the world, like it is written "Hashem will be glad in his handiwork" (Tehillim 114:31), and it is written "Hashem's glory is eternal" (Tehillim 114:31), to be joined as is proper. "Hashem will be happy with his handiwork", to bring them down (to rest) forever, to that everything will be as a new creation, to join the entire world together as one.

Happy are all those that will be around in the world at the end of the 6th millenium, to go up to Shabbat, that this is one day for HaKadosh Baruch Hu by itself, to join together as is proper, to absorb new souls, and to be in the world with those that remain in the beginning, as it is written "And it will be those found in Tzion and the remainder in Yerushalayim holy will be said to him, all those written for life in Yerushalayim.

_______________________

This section does not mention the 1200 years, as the others do, but has a common denominator of 66 with the passage from the Zohar on Shemot.

Zohar Raya Mehemna Pinchas 252a

And behold 60 after 1200, and the Holy Light said "all the souls of Beit Yaakov are 66", 60 for the awakening of the First Moshiach, and 6 for the Awakening of the Second Moshiach, leaving 6 years to 72, to fulfill in it "6 years plant your field and 6 years prune your vineyard, and you will gather in its crop", that is said "Holy is Israel to Hashem, the first of his crop". If thus, what is written above "rejoice, Yaakov (in) happiness". But rather there are 4 future Geulot to correspond to the 4 Cups of Pesach, and because Israel is dispersed to the 4 corners of the world and those that are far from the nations, the first is for "rejoice" (רנו), the 2nd at 60, the 3rd at 66, and the 4th at 72, and these Geulot are with the 4 Chayot in the name of Hashem that ride upon it. And that is what is written "for you ride on your horses, your chariots of salvation" that in parallel, the 4 flags and 12 tribes are awoken. In the secret of "Hashem ruled, Hashem is King, Hashem will rule forever and ever." There are 12 letters and they correspond to 12 tribes and 12 faces of 3 forefathers, that is said about him that the forefathers are the Merkavah. And these 10 tribes are 1000 years and 2 tribes are 200 years. And from the 12 letters hang the 72 names which are the 72 years after the 1200...

Zohar Shemot 2:9a - 2:10a

Rebbi Shimon said: Behold we have awoken to the secrets of the letters of the Holy Name in the hiding place of His Awakening towards his sons, but now I have to reveal something for which permission was not given to any other to reveal. Rather the merit of this generation will sustain the world until the coming of Melech HaMoshiach. Rebbi Shimon said to Rebbi Elazar his son and to Rebbi Abba: Stand in your place. Rebbi Elazar and Rebbi Abba stood. Rebbi Shimon cried again, and said: Oy, who can stand (after hearing) what I say, the Galus will last so long, who can suffer?

He also stood up and said "Oh Hashem our G-d, other masters have controlled us, but by you only do we mention Your Name" (Yeshayahu 26:13) This verse, we have stood it up. However in this verse there is a great secret in faith. Hashem our G-d, that is the beginning of the upper secrets, the place from which the lights all go out. There hangs the secret of faith. And this name controls everything.

"other masters have controlled us", that verily Am Yisrael doesn't have anyone to control it other than this Upper Name. And now in Galus the Sitra Achra controls them.

"But by you only do we mention Your Name" (לבד ב"ך נזכיר שמך) The secret of the Holy Name that is made of 22 letters, and Knesset Yisrael is not blessed except through this name called ב"ך, like you say "like you swore to them by you (בך)" (Shemot 32:13), "by you (בך) Israel will bless" (Breishit 48:20), "for by you (בך) I will run upon a troop" (Tehillim 18:30). And a time that the completeness is found, they do not separate from eachother. And it is forbidden to separate one from the other, a woman from her husband, not in thought and not in speech, in order to not show separation, and now in Galus there is separation, and from hardship of every time, we are making a separation, that someone mentions that name other than her husband, because she lies in the dirt, and that is "But by you only do we mention Your Name".

Other than her husband we mention this name in separation, because we are far from You and others control us, and your name is in separation from the name called ב"ך, and that is in times of Galus.

Because the first Galus was from the 1st Beit HaMikdash, and the 1st Beit HaMikdash was in the secret of the first ה, and against its 70 years, the Galus of Bayit Rishon was 70 years, and for those 70 years, the Imma wasn't found hovering over them, and it was in separation from the Upper Name, secret of the Upper ה. And then יו"ד, the upper secret, went up above without limit, and the Upper Holy Bayit Rishon did not flow out its flow of living waters, for its source had gone away.

And this is the 70 years in Galus, because it was called 7 years, like you say "And he built it 7 years" (Melachim 1 6:38). And if you will say that the kingdom of Bavel controlled above for 70 years, G-d forbid. Rather at the time that the Beit HaMikdash stood, the light and the flow of the upper Imma would light up and go down. And because Am Yisrael sinned, and the Beit HaMikdash was destroyed, the kingdom of Bavel was in control, and that light was covered and dark, and the lower holy ones could not give off light.

Due to the fact that the lower ones could not give off light because of the kingdom of Bavel, that light went away, and that upper spring that would give forth the secret of י, went up without limit. Then those 70 years wouldn't shine, because that light was held back, and that is definitely the 70 years.

Because the kingdom of Bavel was removed, and the lower ה began to give off light, not all of Am Yisrael returned to be purified to be a complete treasure as before, but rather little by little. And because there was no completeness, therefore the יו"ד, the Upper Flow, did not come down so much to give light as before, but rather little by little and mixed up, that they weren't pure like before like it needs to be. And therefore the Upper Flow didn't flow and didn't give light, but rather returned to give light little by little and from force.

And therefore many nations provoked Am Yisrael with many wars, until the darkness covered the land. And the lower ה darkened and fell to the ground, and the Upper Flow went away as before, because the kingdom of Edom strengthened and Am Yisrael returned to go away.

Due to the ה, Bayit Sheini was destroyed, and all these 12 tribes of her, like the count of their camps, they are in Galus of the kingdom of Edom. And the Upper Flow went away from that flow that stands upon her like you say "the righteous one is lost", lost that flow from its Upper Source that would draw out from above.

And because of this separation in the ה of Bayit Sheini, and he is in Galus Edom in all of those 12 tribes and their camps. And 12 tribes count up to a large calculation, and by the secret of the calculation of ה, the Galus continues.

Secret of Secrets is transmitted to the wise of heart. Ten tribes, 1000 years, two tribes, 200 years. The tears started to fall. He opened and said "You will surely cry at night and her tears are on her cheek." At the end of 12 tribes of Galus, night will darken for Yisrael, until the awakening of the וא"ו at the time of 66 years.

And after the 12 tribes which are 1200 years of Galus, and after 66 years of darkness of the night, "then I will remember my covenant with Yaakov". This is the awakening of the letter ו' which is the soul of Yaakov of Beit Yaakov. And this secret is (from) "All of the souls that come to Yaakov to Egypt, etc, are 66" and this is the ה' souls of Bayit Sheini, the secret of the lower ה . And this ה' is the secret of 66. There is 60 for the awakening of Yaakov and 6 for the awakening of Yosef. And therefore it is ו"ו, which are 2 in one connection and 1 secret.

From then onwards, HaKadosh Baruch Hu will awaken those miracles and wonders as we say, and he will awaken on Am Yisrael these troubles that we say, and then "and even my covenant with Yitzhak". And afterwards when Melech HaMoshiach will wage war in the whole world at the right hand of HaKadosh Baruch Hu, like you say "Your Right Hand, Hashem, is glorious in strength". And then "and even my covenant with Avraham I will remember" and then afterwards "and the land, I will remember", that is the final ה. At that time it is written "And Hashem will be for a king on all of the land, and on that day Hashem will be One and His Name will be One.

At the end of another 66 years, that together are 132 years, the letters of the Holy Name will be shown as complete above and below as is proper, and the secret of this is Heh-Heh upper and lower, and all these pathways which are the 32 years which are included in the secret of the letter Vav (הו"ה), the secret of completion of the 132, at the end another 132 years, the verse will be fulfilled "To hold on the corners of the earth, and the shake the wicked from it", and the Holy Land will be purified, and HaKadosh Baruch Hu will arouse the dead of the Holy Land and there will be legions and legions in the land of the Galil. And thus the will be awakened the stoppage of the flow of the upper letter Yud, and the 32 pathways will be sustained up against it below, and the letters of the Holy Name will be sustained in their places, (then it says Shem HaShem), that up until now it won't be complete, until that time that the upper flow will be brought down, in connections of the letters in the final Heh, and that will be at the end of the filling of 144 years afterwards which will be completed, and the remaining dead of Yisrael will be awoken in the rest of the lands, that is found that all of this is in the value of חי"ת, that the world will be settled and the world fragrant, and the Sitra Achra will be removed from the world, and the lower Heh will be filled with the flow from above, and will be crowned and enlightened completely, and thus it is written "And the light of the moon (will be) like the light of the sun, and the light of the sun 7 times greater" (Yeshayahu 30:26), until it will be Shabbat to Hashem, to harvest souls in holy joy, all of the 7th millenium, and that is the awakening of the holy souls of Am Yisrael, to be dressed after Shabbat in different holy bodies to be called holy, as it is written "And it will be what is left in Tzion and the remainder in Yerushalayim, Holy will be said to him" (Yeshayahu 4:3), up until here are words of closed secrets.

Please note that in this entire thing, Rebbi Shimon bar Yochai does not even mention the chance of Am Yisrael doing Teshuvah. He obviously knew that the gates of Teshuvah are open, as does his audience. Regardless, he provides a calculation for the length of Galus and when Moshiach will arrive. I will not delve in to that at present.
