Zohar Vaetchanan

#177
The word ‘כֹּה’ from “כֹּה אָמַר יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת”, “Thus (כֹּה) speaks YHVH of hosts”, represents the Shechina in Malchut that is blessed by the Tzadik, which is Yessod, and from Netzach and Hod that are called “יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת” “YHVH of hosts”. Yessod in this connection delivers the Light with Mercy.
When it says “כֹּה אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה” “Thus says YHVH GOD (ELHYM,אלהים)”, then ‘כה’, Malchut receives from Gevurah of Zeir Anpin, which is judgment. Rabbi Elazar adds that his father, Rabbi Shimon, says that the judgment coming from Gevurah and the name ELHYM,אלהים is sweetened by the name YHVH that is mercy.

#178
The name ELHYM,אלהים is on the Left and Gevurah. ‘אדני’ ‘ADNY’ represents the lower Gevurah. The people with faith can tell the root energy of the prophecy from the way the prophets use words to deliver the prophecies.

#179
Judges 5:23
“אוֹרוּ מֵרוֹז אָמַר מַלְאַךְ יְהוָה אֹרוּ אָרוֹר יֹשְׁבֶיהָ כִּי לֹא בָאוּ לְעֶזְרַת יְהוָה לְעֶזְרַת יְהוָה בַּגִּבּוֹרִים.”
“‘Curse Meroz,’ said the angel of YHVH, ‘Curse its inhabitants bitterly, Because they did not come to the help of YHVH, To the help of YHVH against the mighty.’”
Rabbi Echa quotes this verse and says that it has supernal secrets. And explains that when the Holy King gave his house, Malchut, to the Queen, the Shechina, he also gave her arms and other weapons of war, together with his warriors.

Songs 3:7
“הִנֵּה מִטָּתוֹ שֶׁלִּשְׁלֹמֹה שִׁשִּׁים גִּבֹּרִים סָבִיב לָהּ מִגִּבֹּרֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל.”
“Behold, it is Solomon’s bed, With sixty mighty men around it, Of the mighty warriors of Israel.”
King Solomon’s bed is the secret of Malchut and the sixty mighty warriors are the secret of the six sefirot, Chessed, Gevurah, Tiferet, Netzach, Hod, and Yessod from the side of Gevurah. Each Sefira includes ten sefirot. When the Holy One Blessed be He goes into battle, these mighty men are called skillful warriors.
This verse from Vaetchanan shows the form of אֲדֹנָ֣י יֱהֹוִ֗ה (read as Ado-nai Eloh-im but please do not read aloud, just with your eyes). The YHVH is with the Nikud of ELHYM to reveal the aspect of the Left, Gevurs but at the same time, as Rabbi Shimon teaches us, the letters YHVH יהוה bring the aspect of mercy.

Lesson;
The Zohar teaches us that the words have concealed energy that is beyond the literal meaning.
When Moses was on Mount Sinai, he saw that in the future Rabbi Akiva would reveal ‘mountains’ of secrets from every letter and tag in the Torah (See image of letters with tags above). Moses couldn’t understand Rabbi Akiva at first until he saw that he references his explanations on what Moses revealed on Mount Sinai.

The Letters of the Torah are like a body and the Light that they conceal is the aspect of the soul/force that is in every letter and word.
The Zohar is the aspect of the soul of the Torah. Each one of us is like a letter in the Torah. There is a lot of light to reveal from it. All we need is to remove the darkness that blocks it from shining out.

The full story about Moses and Rabbi Akiva can be found in the Talmud in this page (Hebrew and English);
