Zohar Vaetchanan

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.’”

#182
Among these stars, there was one start who didn’t come to take vengeance for Israel and was cursed forever. When this star begins to shine, the other stars come and swallow it and all its camps so all perish together as one.
The angel of God makes the curse ‘Curse Meroz’ (Judges 5:23, #179). The Zohar asks if the angel has permission to curse and answers that it’s the same angel that was leading the camps of Israel in the desert.
Exodus 14:19
“וַיִּסַּע מַלְאַךְ הָאֱלֹהִים הַהֹלֵךְ לִפְנֵי מַחֲנֵה יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיֵּלֶךְ מֵאַחֲרֵיהֶם וַיִּסַּע עַמּוּד הֶעָנָן מִפְּנֵיהֶם וַיַּעֲמֹד מֵאַחֲרֵיהֶם.”
“And the Angel of God, who went before the camp of Israel, moved and went behind them; and the pillar of cloud went from before them and stood behind them.”

#183
‘They did not come to the help of YHVH’, meaning that at the time the Israelites came out of Egypt they didn’t come with the sixty mighty warriors that were in the battle with Sisera.
This angel has possession of all the secrets related to the judgments and battles of the King. As it says (Genesis 48:6) “The angel who redeems me…”. The friends explained that this angel will become greater in the future and will magnify the honor of the Holy Name. This angel will be used by the Holy One Blessed be He to take revenge on all the nations that worship idols.
Ezekiel 38:23
“וְהִתְגַּדִּלְתִּי וְהִתְקַדִּשְׁתִּי וְנוֹדַעְתִּי לְעֵינֵי גּוֹיִם רַבִּים וְיָדְעוּ כִּי אֲנִי יְהוָה.”
“Thus I will magnify Myself and sanctify Myself, and I will be known in the eyes of many nations. Then they shall know that I am YHVH.””
They walked to Rabbi Shimon and he saw them, he said, the Shechinah is here, and we should be grateful to her.

Lesson;
Our studies can bring the Shechina close to us. The Rabbis of the Zohar didn’t see the Shechina but Rabbi Shimon did because he was on a higher level.
Even if we don’t see the outcome of our studies, it is always positive and we should be grateful to God for bringing us closer to this high wisdom that surrounds us with angels and Light.
