Daily Zohar # 4442 – Shemot – Where would the Mashiach be revealed?
Daily Zohar 4442
Hebrew translation:
129. אַחַר שְׁנֵים עָשָׂר חֹדֶשׁ יִזְדַּקֵּף אוֹתוֹ אוֹר בֵּין שָׁמַיִם וָאָרֶץ, וְיִשְׁרֶה בְּאֶרֶץ הַגָּלִיל, שֶׁשָּׁם הָיְתָה רֵאשִׁית גָּלוּת יִשְׂרָאֵל, וְשָׁם יִתְגַּלֶּה מֵאוֹתוֹ אוֹר שֶׁל קַן צִפּוֹר, וְשָׁב לִמְקוֹמוֹ. וְאוֹתוֹ יוֹם תִּזְדַּעֲזַע כָּל הָאָרֶץ כְּמוֹ מִקֹּדֶם מִסּוֹף הַשָּׁמַיִם עַד סוֹף הַשָּׁמַיִם, וְאָז יִרְאוּ [יֵדְעוּ] כָּל הָעוֹלָם שֶׁהֲרֵי הִתְגַּלָּה מֶלֶךְ הַמָּשִׁיחַ בְּאֶרֶץ הַגָּלִיל.
130. וְיִתְכַּנְּסוּ אֵלָיו כָּל אֵלּוּ שֶׁעוֹסְקִים בַּתּוֹרָה, וְהֵם מְעַטִּים בָּעוֹלָם. וּבִזְכוּת תִּינוֹקוֹת שֶׁל בֵּית רַבָּן יִתְחַזֵּק כֹּחוֹ לְהִתְגַּבֵּר, וְסוֹד זֶה אֶפְרֹחִים. וְאִם לֹא יִמָּצְאוּ אֵלּוּ, הֲרֵי תִּינוֹקוֹת שֶׁיּוֹשְׁבִים בְּתֹקֶף אִמָּם וְיוֹנְקִים, כְּמוֹ שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר (ישעיה כח) גְּמוּלֵי מֵחָלָב עַתִּיקֵי מִשָּׁדָיִם. וְהַיְנוּ אוֹ בֵיצִים, שֶׁבִּשְׁבִיל אֵלֶּה שׁוֹרָה שְׁכִינָה עִם יִשְׂרָאֵל בַּגָּלוּת.

Zohar Shemot
Continued from previous DZ, the explanation of Deuteronomy 22:6
“כִּי יִקָּרֵא קַן צִפּוֹר לְפָנֶיךָ בַּדֶּרֶךְ בְּכָל עֵץ אוֹ עַל הָאָרֶץ אֶפְרֹחִים אוֹ בֵיצִים וְהָאֵם רֹבֶצֶת עַל הָאֶפְרֹחִים אוֹ עַל הַבֵּיצִים לֹא תִקַּח הָאֵם עַל הַבָּנִים.”
“If a bird’s nest happens to be before you along the way, in any tree or on the ground, with young ones (fledglings) or eggs, with the mother sitting on the young or the eggs, you shall not take the mother with the young;”

Afterward, that light will arise from that place, the burial site of Rachel, and it will shine upon the city of Jericho, the city of trees. Therefore, every such tree symbolizes Jericho, the city of date palms, which Joshua could not completely rectify. Hence, he said,
Joshua 6:26
“וַיַּשְׁבַּע יְהוֹשֻׁעַ בָּעֵת הַהִיא לֵאמֹר אָרוּר הָאִישׁ לִפְנֵי יְהוָה אֲשֶׁר יָקוּם וּבָנָה אֶת הָעִיר הַזֹּאת אֶת יְרִיחוֹ בִּבְכֹרוֹ יְיַסְּדֶנָּה וּבִצְעִירוֹ יַצִּיב דְּלָתֶיהָ.”
Then Joshua charged them at that time, saying, “Cursed be the man before YHVH who rises and builds this city Jericho; he shall lay its foundation with his firstborn, and with his youngest, he shall set up its gates.”
Jericho is drawn from the aspect of judgment of Malchut of Malchut. Now, the Mashiach will rectify it with the light of the seven days. “Or on the ground” (Deuteronomy 22:6) refers to Jerusalem, which represents the external aspect of Malchut. This light will be hidden for twelve months in the bird’s nest.
#129
After twelve months, that light will stand erect between heaven and earth and will shine upon the land of Galilee, where the beginning of Israel’s exile, namely the Assyrian exile, took place. There, the Mashiach will be revealed from the light of the bird’s nest and return to his place. On that day, the entire earth will tremble as before, from one end of the heavens to the other. Then, the whole world will see that King Mashiach has been revealed in the land of Galilee.

All those who have engaged in Torah study will gather around him, and they are referred to in the scripture as ‘בנים’ ‘children.’ They are few in the world, but by the merit of the infants of the Torah schools, the strength of the Mashiach will be fortified to prevail. This is the secret of the fledglings mentioned in the verse above. If these are not found, then there are the nursing infants who sit in their mothers’ laps and suckle, as it is said;
Isaiah 28:9
“אֶת מִי יוֹרֶה דֵעָה וְאֶת מִי יָבִין שְׁמוּעָה גְּמוּלֵי מֵחָלָב עַתִּיקֵי מִשָּׁדָיִם.”
“Whom will he teach knowledge? And whom will he make to understand the message? Those just weaned from milk? Those just drawn from the breasts?”
These are the eggs mentioned in the verse, for by their merit the Shechinah stand by Israel in exile.
