The spark of Messiah in our souls is the will to redeem reality from the forces of evil that engulf the essence of good within every human being. We are taught that the power of will reflects God's ultimate Omnipotence, and that "nothing stands in the face of will."
Amalek, the arch enemy of Israel, is the 'black hole' of humanity. By wiping out Amalek, we release all of the light and energy that he has devoured (as presently known, it is possible to retrieve lost information from a black hole).
Iran is the biblical Persia, which in Hebrew means "reward" or "part" (of a whole). We are told not to serve God to receive reward, which is but a mere part of the whole, the boundless blessing entailed within every good deed that we do. And so, our present conflict with Iran should be envisioned not only as for the sake of insuring security and redeeming the Iranian people from the hands of the wicked, but as a step towards establishing peace on earth, by revealing to all the infinite goodness of the Creator.
The three basic emotions of the heart are love, fear, and compassion. They correspond to the three Patriarchs, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Of Abraham God says, "Abraham who loves Me." God is referred to as "the fear of Issac." Jacob had compassion on his sheep, which, as taught in Kabbalah, were actually the souls of the entire Jewish people to be.
Israel, the purpose of our military intervention in Iran is not only to defend our borders but to assume responsibility to free the Iranian people from the cruel and evil dictatorship that presently rules them. We are to be a light unto the nations, a beacon of peace.
Faith is (in) God; Pleasure is (from) Torah; Will is Messiah. Faith, pleasure, and will are the three 'heads' of the supernal crown of the soul.
