Galut to Geulah: Moshiach ben Yosef and Moshiach ben David

If Israel will do Teshuvah (repentance), it will not need Moshiach ben Yosef, immediately Moshiach ben David will come with clouds of heaven.

Moshiach ben Yosef comes with the "Vav" in Hashem's Name, which is the level of Mosheh (Zeir Anpin - Written Torah) but is not revealed until the concealment of the soul of Mosheh in Galut (exile). This is the process of Gadlut in Chesed which is Da'at.

Moshiach ben David comes with the final "Hey" in HaShem's Name, which is the level of Angel Metatr-n (Malchut - Oral Torah) but is not revealed until the revelation of the soul of Mosheh in Geulah (redemption). This is the process of Gadlut in Binah which is Chochmah.

This is why at the Pesach seder when Eliyahu finally arrives, the third cup which is the "Vav" in HaShem's Name has already been drunk and we reach Geulah (redemption) from in the fourth cup.

When Malchut enters into Binah, it is missing one Sefirah, so the existing 9 Sefirot is in Hitkolelut (inclusion) with Malchut of Binah. However, Malchut is hidden in Rosh Atik (head of the Partzuf “Ancient”).

Now Malchut is divided into two Partzufim (personifications of G-d's Essence); which is Leah above Chazeh (hidden) and Rachel below Chazeh (revealed). Out of Leah comes Yehudah (Moshiach ben David) and out of Rachel comes Yosef (Moshiach ben Yosef). The roles are flipped in this stage, the revealed is concealed and the concealed is revealed.

Malchut Leah above Chazeh has 10 Sefirot and Malchut Rachel Chazeh has 9 Sefirot without the Malchut that ends in Yesod. This is why there is conflict between Moshiach ben Yosef and Moshiach ben David in relation to the final Geulah, because ben David will rule in perfection where complete Zivug (coupling) is possible, where his Light is perfect.

Moshiach ben Yosef, whose Light is perfect in the potential, is concealed, but is revealed in the concealment of the soul of Mosheh, because he is actually concealing the hidden world where Moshiach ben David is waiting. In order for Moshiach ben Yosef to do Teshuvah and Tikkun in order to reveal Moshiach ben David, he must make Teshuvot and Tikkunim (corrections) in Malchut Rachel below Chazeh, therefore from Moshiach ben Yosef does his Light spread upwards from below but the Light will not yet shine from above downwards from Moshiach ben David in Malchut Leah above Chazeh. Here the roles are in their respective places at this stage. Therefore Rachel weeps and Leah cannot give praise until Israel does Teshuvah and Tikkun. 

This is derived from the conflict between David (son of Leah) and Shaul (son of Rachel). In every generation there are components of these souls, which this conflict is born out of the two opposite Malchuyot. However, Malchut Leah above Chazeh will gradually do Teshuvot and Tikkunim despite the missing Sefirah in Malchut de’Malchut of Rachel, which will assist Malchut Rachel below Chazeh to do Teshuvah and Tikkun.

Both Moshiachim have no power to redeem Israel from Galut, this is why the Mekubalim (Kabbalists) told us that the period of this Galut will be long and grueling. It will not be possible until Israel itself does Teshuvah and Tikkun. This will only hold true if the letter “Hey” in Mosheh’s name is not revealed, which is the final “Hey” of HaShem’s Name. Since Mosheh also comes out of Leah (Levi), the Tikkunim must be also done from Malchut Leah above Chazeh, since both are incomplete in this respect. Both Malchut Leah above Chazeh and Malchut Rachel below Chazeh must unify until the filling of the Kelim (vessels) form a complete Partzuf, which is 10 Sefirot appearing in both which will ascend to Eyn Sof. 

This is the “Hey” in Abraham’s name, which filled him as Abram, which is Malchut corrected by Binah, Hey Zeirah (minor Hey), in order to gradually correct and clarify the Holy Names of HaShem. Once all the Holy Names of HaShem are revealed in Malchut and corrected by Binah in Malchut of the second Tzitzum, the Hitkolelut (inclusion) of Malchut in Binah is annulled, and the “Hey” of Abraham will be revealed which will reveal the “Hey” of Mosheh’s name in complete fullness.

The “Hey” of Abraham's name, the Malchut of the second Tzimtzum rules for the 6,000 years of Tikkunim, then the “Hey” of Mosheh's name, the Malchut of the first Tzimtzum is revealed. However, if the “Hey” of Abraham, which is Israel and the Nations, does not clarify all the holy Names of HaShem and does not do all the necessary Teshuvot and Tikkunim, it will postpone the revelation of the “Hey” in Mosheh's name, which is hidden in Rosh Atik, thus postponing the final Geulah. 

As soon as Leah and Rachel reconcile, the unification of the Moshiachim will ignite the final Geulah of Israel from the Klipot of the Erev Rav, which has held us under this Galut. This is precisely why it was forbidden for Adam and Chavah to eat from the Eytz Da’at de’Tov ve’Ra (Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil), because of the evil that existed within it. This is what provoked the destruction of the first and second Temples. Once the Erev Rav, the chametz of Pesach (leaven of Passover) are removed from Israel, immediately the endless river of Zeir Anpin which flows from Gan Eden (Garden of Eden) will be filled and will irrigate the entire Gan Eden, which is Malchut with completely Partzufim.

"Two shooting stars will appear in the sky," Moshiach is in them. One comes from the earth to the sky, the other from the sky to the earth, coming and going each night. Two Moshiachim will come out, riding on a donkey, and they will connect because of their Devekut (adhesion) and equivalence of form, thus they are one Moshiach. Therefore Israel, who is Moshiach, will be revealed in its final Teshuvah and final Tikun and will then usher in the Geulah. But this cannot be accomplished without the Teshuvot and Tikkunim of Israel, and until then this Galut will continue. Moshiach ben Yosef will remain concealed until the soul of Mosheh is revealed to bring Geulah, thus Moshiach ben David will remain concealed until Moshiach ben Yosef is revealed.
