Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai

“ At that time it will be considered like the world is [just] created. The luminaries will be arranged like they ought to be - behold it's the scripture (Gen. 1:3) , "And ELHY"M will call the light Day and the darkness, Night" - "and ELHY"M will call the light Day" - is Yisrael, whose rule will be at the time of the Redemption, and the wicked will be left (o.v. go out) in darkness - behold it's the scripture, "And for the darkness, called night." ”

“ And the Redemption depends on the heart, as it says of it, "the heart sees" - so that's why "for the day of vengeance is on my heart" (Isa. 63:4) . Vengeance in what? In "My heart" - in Y"H, of which it says (Ps. 150:6) , "Let all the Neshama praise Y"H", and of it is said (Ex. 17:16) , "For the hand is on the throne of Y"H." And the Redemption depends on the heart, as of it it says "the heart sees," therefore the Mishnah masters explained it [Sanh. 99a] , "To my heart (l'LB"Y) I've revealed, but to my limbs I've not revealed." What is "to my heart?" ”

“ For when Yisrael are dirtied and filthied from the other peoples, the Neshama which is the Shekhina says (Song 1:6) , "Don't see me, that I'm blackened" - the prayer is fallen down, behold it's the scripture (Amos 5:2) , "she is fallen and will rise no more, the maiden Yisrael." And when she falls she lies in the dirt between the feet - haven't they taught (Ruth 3:7) , "And she was exiled to his feet and lay down"? ”
