Adapted by Rabbi Eliyahu Touger from Sefer HaMa'amarim Melukat
IV, p 125
In the Era of the Redemption, even the miracles which are
enclothed in the natural order will be revealed. That is, mankind will be able
to perceive these miracles.
In addition, this will indicate a higher level of the
miracles themselves. At present, the natural order conceals the miracles
because the natural order
represents the very opposite of the miraculous [even when a miracle is
enclothed with it]. This is because a miracle represents a deviation from the
natural order, a change from its ordinary functioning. Therefore [in the
present era, the uniqueness of] the miracles which transcend the natural order
is more apparent.  | | " In the Era of the Redemption, the natural order will be elevated..." | | |
In the Era of the Redemption, however, the miracles which
are enclothed within the natural order will also be revealed, as it is said,
"I will show you wonders". The reason for this difference is that in
the Era of the Redemption, the natural order will be elevated, and it will also
be a suitable medium for the revelation of the infinite dimensions of the
light of the Ein Sof which will be enclothed within it. Therefore, the miracles
which are enclothed in nature will also be overtly revealed.
Thus the new dimension implied by the prophecy "I will
show you wonders" - that the wonders will be perceived - will be reflected
in the wonders themselves. At present, the miracles enclothed in nature are
such that even after the revelation of the infinite dimensions of the light of the Ein Sof through the miracle, the existence of the natural order
remains unaffected. In addition, its thrust is directly opposite to the
revelation of infinite light (except that the revelation of the infinite light
controls it and compels its course to follow the dictates of G-d's will).
In the Era of the Redemption, by contrast, the miracles that
are enclothed within the natural order will possess both advantages: 1) the
revelation of light of the Ein Sof will be expressed within the
natural order; and 2) there will be no entity whose existence runs contrary to
the revelation of [G-d's] infinity, for even nature will be a medium [for the
expression of] the infinite dimension of light
of the Ein Sof [from "Anticipating
the Redemption" Vol. II (S.I.E., 1997), pp 113-114]
