And this is what was accomplished through these kings. For He allowed evil to hold sway against all the powers that depend on the Likeness of Man – the number of levels of evil corresponds exactly to the number of these powers – and accordingly He did not then reveal His unity. Things continued in the same way, and indeed the evil became ever stronger. But when these powers of the Sefirot were completed, He then revealed His will, wanting to rectify everything through the power of His rule.
From that point on (after the emergence of the Primordial Kings) the powers of evil were instituted, having already been revealed. Against every power in the Sefirot, there emerged corresponding powers of evil. Then afterwards the will (of unity) becomes revealed. So it is now, inasmuch as the Other Side holds sway on all its levels, which correspond directly to the levels of the Sefirot. However, the will is already set to be revealed at the end of these levels, and this is the day of redemption.
