for the proclamation goeth forth from the seventh heaven proclaiming and saying in the heavenly court of justice: ‘As for the design which the wicked city Rome designed against the mighty of Israel to destroy them, Zoharariel the Lord God of Israel has agreed, but even the meditation of the heart which Rome meditateth against his children is weighty to them as if they carried it out.’”
Said Rabbi Ishmael: Surya, the Prince of the Presence, spoke to me, saying, “Friend, I shall tell thee the praise of the King and of his throne.” Therefore it is said: Thou hast uplifted the throne of Thy glory upon the cherubim of heaven, and the ophanim of greatness do bear it, and creatures of frost, creatures of mist, creatures of flame, Ccowned with loftiness and with splendor. And the eyes of Shaddai are lifted up upon them, And they were extended beneath it as rams beneath the plough. And it was erected upon their heads with strength, might and power. (As it is said, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of Hosts.”)
