==== Its Level ==== '''''This chapter is lacking. Please contribute to ChabadPedia and complete it. There may be details on this in the discussion page.''''' In the time of the resurrection, there will be a Divine revelation from the Essence of Ein Sof as it is without any concealment or garment. Regarding this revelation it is said: "Your teacher will no longer be hidden, and your eyes shall see your teacher" and Rashi explains: "He will not be covered from you by the corner of his garment, meaning He will not hide His face from you." The wonder of the future revelation is that besides the wonder that all concealing things will be nullified, the revelation itself will have its root in the very Essence that is beyond the definition of 'revelation' and 'light'. The concepts of 'essence' and 'revelation' express two levels that on one hand are related to each other but on the other hand are distant from each other. The 'essence' is the thing as it shines and is felt to itself, as opposed to the concept of revelation which is the manifestation of the thing to another reality outside of its own essence. Therefore, revelation is a lesser level and is not the essence itself but only an extension of it. To illustrate the difference, Chassidic teachings bring an example from the powers of the soul, that although all powers are powers of the soul, there are differences in levels among them, and there are powers that express less of the simplicity of the soul, and there are powers that are closer and more essential. (For example: the difference between powers that are clothed in particular limbs, and powers that are not clothed - like the power of will that illuminates the entire body, because it is a power that expresses the essence of the soul). However, the essence of the soul itself is beyond all powers and it itself never reveals itself as it is in its essence and being within the powers, because it is a spiritual essence abstracted from all description and definition. And because the revelation will be from the Essence of Ein Sof itself, which is not limited at all, its drawing down will not be due to the service of the created beings but as a drawing down and revelation from above to below from the Holy One, blessed be He, alone (and the created beings will not be vessels for this drawing down on their own). This is the advantage of the revelation of the resurrection of the dead over the revelations that will precede it, even the most sublime revelations that will be in the days of Moshiach. Although the light of Ein Sof will then be revealed in its highest level, and it is a revelation that is not limited, ultimately even these revelations are in the category of light and revelation, and therefore they have a connection to the created beings and are drawn down through their service.
