Daily Zohar # 4287 – Shelach Lecha – When flesh ends, he has no say
Daily Zohar 4287
Hebrew translation:
241. אָמַר לוֹ רַבִּי (שִׁמְעוֹן), חֲגֹר כְּלֵי זֵינְךָ וְהַתְקֵן עַצְמְךָ. אִם תִּרְצֶה לָדַעַת דְּבָרִים שֶׁהִתְחַלְתָּ, אוֹ אִם תִּשְׁאַל בַּדְּבָרִים הָאֵלֶּה, אֱמֹר לִי. אָמַר לוֹ, וַדַּאי, הֲרֵי יָדַעְתִּי שֶׁאִשְׁתִּי מֵתָה, שֶׁלֹּא יָדַעְתִּי מִמֶּנָּה כְלוּם. וְהַחֲבֵרִים יוֹדְעִים. נָשִׁים מָה הַטַּעַם דַּעְתָּן קַלָּה?

Zohar Shelach Lecha

#240
As long as the flesh is in its existence, Sat-n is ready to inflict judgments. When the flesh is gone, he lost his authority over the body because there is, the flesh is lost. He lost his share. Because of that, it is written;
Job 33:21
“יִכֶל בְּשָׂרוֹ מֵרֹאִי ושפי [וְשֻׁפּוּ] עַצְמוֹתָיו לֹא רֻאּוּ.”
“His flesh wastes away from sight, And his bones stick out which once were not seen.”
“From sight”, means that Sat-n cannot do his work because the flesh is gone. “And his bones stick out”, means that they were not seen by Sat-n, who would come near him, because he has no part in him, since every bone is disconnected from its place. After the flesh is gone, he cannot connect to the person’s body.
Rabbi Shimon said, now I know how these things were established.
Zecharia 3:1
“וַיַּרְאֵנִי אֶת יְהוֹשֻׁעַ הַכֹּהֵן הַגָּדוֹל עֹמֵד לִפְנֵי מַלְאַךְ יְהוָה וְהַשָּׂטָן עֹמֵד עַל יְמִינוֹ לְשִׂטְנוֹ.”
“Then he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the Angel of YHVH, and Sat-n standing at his right hand to oppose him.”
That is, Sat-n stands on his right “to oppose him” as long as he didn’t take off his “filthy clothes” (Zecharia 3:4)
