Da'as Tevunos - Section 44

Said the Intellect - But the action will prove that the Singularity sands to be revealed. For we see the promises of the prophets that we brought above already, where they promise that the Holy One blessed is he will redeem Israel in all scenarios, even without merit, and that he shall remove the evil inclination from man and will compel them to worship him; and behold all of this is in contrary to reward and punishment and contrary to free will. If if the intent was in truth to continue the matter of free choice and reward and punishment, meaning that the world would always be constructed through free choice, for people to be righteous or evildoers according to their will, and it would always be good for the righteous or bad for the evildoers, it would be required that it be like this always, and there there be no interruption to it; And this was - that the Holy One blessed is he wants to strengthen the character of justice, to support all of His creations forever. But we know that it is not so, as we proved from the sources, and is explained to us in the words of our sages may their memory be blessed, that in the end free will will be removed from man, and there won't be negativity in the world,, and they have already said (Berakhot 10a), "sinners shall cease from the earth" it says. If so, the final intention is not upon reward and punishment, but rather on the general rectification. Rather the Holy One blessed is he put together two items as one, and this is from the depths of his wisdom to bring about all through the complete rectification. And we will discuss this further within with the help of heaven when we reach the details of his behavior, for it is a deep and very fundamental matter:

Until now we have spoken in generalities, and from now need to come to the details, for behold we have placed one foundation upon which all of the matters of the creation and its rules are dependent - on the matter of revelation of His singularity may He be blessed, and with regard to this matter we found two periods, the first - when he is hidden and yet to be revealed in the future, and the second - after he is reveled; and these two periods we saw are dependent on the service of man and receipt of his reward. Now, with each one of these periods we need to understand all of the details in them which we can grasp, and these are the details of the concealment of His singularity by itself and the details of His revelation by itself. And we also ned to understand the connection between these two periods, there needs to be a place for their connection, which is the passageway between the two extremes:

We will begin now in order, and this comes first - to understand the details of the concealment of the singularity, because it is the first period, and the laws of His behavior may He be blessed in this period...and here it will be for us to explain all the matters of the service in all its derivitives, and the preparation for man to do it, and all the other aspects that we need to understand in this matter:

Said the Intellect - I need to tell you a great and essential introduction, before we enter into the the matter of these ways of His may He be blessed, and His laws with which we are occupied:
