    Hashem is all good.

    From our perspective, there is good that occurs and the opposite. 

    But, if Hashem is all and only good, it would be more correct to say that there is revealed good and unrevealed good. The unrevealed good is good hidden by a husk of seemingly bad. 

    We have all experienced that when something seemed bad, it turned out later to be good.

    "Ad d'lo yadei"= until one can't tell the difference between the good Mordechai and the bad Haman, means to reach the level where the apparent good and the hidden good are both the same.

    Everyone knows the soton works extra hard Friday afternoon

    To cause dissension in Jewish families. He knows Shabbos is coming regardless 

    So too, today, 5781, plotting out to late Friday afternoon, the Soton is working overtime to cause dissension among yidden. He knows that the Shabbos of creation, the 7th millennium of the ultimate Geula is coming.  

    It should be noted that we are late enough into Friday afternoon to bring in Shabbos, the Geula, early. It should be before Purim.

    Achachverosh woke up and the history book was brought to him

    So too, when Hashem the King "woke up",.the history book of the Torah, especially the promise made to Avraham and the Avos was brought to Him, and then He reacted to save the yidden also.

    The number 50 is a level of perfection and completion

    50 is the ultimare  level of bina, the ultimate level of klipa, the yoyvel, etc.

    Haman built a gallows of 50 Amos.  But he didn't have in mind the 50th level of Bina. Hashgocha that he did but it turned out to be the 50th level of klipa.

    עיזי מסגן ברישא והדר אימרי א"ל כברייתו של עולם דברישא חשוכא והדר נהורא

    Is there a connection between this Mamar of the Tzemech Tzedek that first there is tzimtzum and then there is light to the other Mamar of the Tzemech Tzedek explaining the Magid about the gemara at the end of Krisus? It seems there is as the Rebbe in a Hadran to Mesechtos "Banecha" brings this gemara* (see below). However, from the gemara in krisus we see the 2 avodos are equal and are 2 possible paths in avodas hashem 1. giluy hamshachas or kedusha 2. haficha and birur of choshech. The gemara in shabbas however, says first there is choshech then nehora. In this context it would be saying first avodah of baley teshuva then the avodah of Tzaddikim. What is the explanation for all of this?
