Editing A stone shall cry out from the wall (section)

== Its Essence: Revelation of Divinity in Physical Creations ==
<blockquote>On the future era it is written: 

"A stone from the wall will cry out, and a beam of wood will answer it." Currently, inanimate objects are silent - people step on them and they remain quiet. But there will come a time in the future revelation when inanimate objects will begin to speak and tell stories. They will demand to know why, if during one's walking one did not think about or discuss words of Torah, did they step upon it.

The ground upon which people walk, which for thousands of years since the six days of creation has been trodden upon by various living creatures, until a Jew walks upon it, or two Jews, and they discuss words of Torah. And if not - it says: You are like an animal! — Hayom Yom, 15 Adar I</blockquote>This prophecy is among those describing the state of physical matter during the Redemption, similar to the prophecies of Isaiah: "For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of Hashem" and "All flesh together will see that the mouth of Hashem has spoken." As explained in Chassidic teachings, the precise wording in these prophecies indicates that the 'earth' and 'flesh' themselves will radiate with divine revelation. These latter prophecies contain the essence and purpose of the Messianic era and the coming of Moshiach, when in this physical world the reality of the Holy One, blessed be He, will be revealed as part of fulfilling the purpose of creation - to make a dwelling place for the Creator in the lower worlds. It will be recognized and felt in every detail of creation that their entire existence depends on divine light and energy. This revelation will penetrate and be felt even in the lowest creations, such as inanimate objects. Those creations capable of understanding will comprehend divinity, while other creations will see and feel it. Therefore, at that time, any action contradicting God's will would contradict the reality of even a stone, causing the stone to cry out against it. (The meaning of this outcry is not merely that human intellect will oppose actions forbidden by Torah, but that nature itself will oppose them. For example, just as a person doesn't put their hand in fire not only because of logical reasoning but because the natural heat of fire naturally causes one to withdraw their hand, similarly in the future era, creation's nature itself will naturally distance actions that oppose Hashem's will.)

On a deeper level, this prophecy contains an advantage over the prophecies "For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of Hashem" and "All flesh together will see." This is because those prophecies describe divine revelation in creations that originates from outside the created beings. However, the prophecy "A stone from the wall will cry out" means that the stone itself cries out and reveals divinity. The Rebbe explains that this is rooted in Chassidic teachings about the source of life in physical existence. The divine source that creates physical reality is higher than all divine and spiritual revelations, because the root of physicality is in God's Essence (Atzmut), which alone has the power to create physical beings something from nothing (yesh me'ayin). However, this power is concealed and not felt within the creation. In the future, lofty revelations will be manifested in created beings (described in the verses "For the earth will be filled..." and "All flesh will see..."), and additionally, the root source of physical existence will be revealed, which is higher than all creations - the power of God's Essence (described in the verse "A stone from the wall will cry out" where it itself becomes the source revealing divinity). According to this understanding, the physical reality becomes the influencer and source of divine revelation.
