THE CABALA OF ENEMY

Former Syrian prime minister Riad Hijab appeared publicly Tuesday for the first time since his defection, calling President Bashar al-Assad's government an Enemy of God and saying it is collapsing.

The Cabala explains, The enemy is the Yetzer Hora/The Intimidator, a spiritual energy implanted in the heart of man to skew his actions towards bad; without the Yetzer Hora, the Enemy of God, free choice would be pointless – without people like Assad, freedom fades.

Freedom is won, even the infant has to fight his way out of the womb; it took ten plagues to release the Jewish People from slavery – freedom is fought for and won. Without an enemy freedom would be free. The Yetzer Hora/Intimidator is not the Enemy of God, but the person persuaded.

It is written in the Written Torah/Teaching, God says, I put before you good and bad, chose good. Assad has chosen bad; he has chosen the side of politics over truth and the welfare of his people – he has relinquished his life having been intimidated by the Yetzer Hora.

When the person dies, the Malach HaMavet/Angel of Death, who is also the Yetzer Hora, laughs at the soul who is now embarrassed by his actions. The harshest pain and punishment in heaven is embarrassment; Every person has freedom to chose between God or the Yetzer Hora – choose good.
