Earth						Heaven
The seven which are revealed (Revelation of Power)								The three which are concealed (Justice)

Conclusion

In the Psalm that we recite on Shabbat and Holidays before the blessings after the meal, there is the following phrase, “When HaShem returns our captivity, we will be like (awakening) dreamers….”

Tehilim (Psalms) 126:1 A Song of degrees. When HaShem turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like dreamers. 2 Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, HaShem hath done great things for them. 3 HaShem hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad. 4 Turn again our captivity, HaShem, as the streams in the south. 5 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. 6 He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.
When HaShem finally brings us out of the long night of exile, we will rub our eyes like people emerging from a darkened cinema, and we will then realize that we were only dreaming these six thousand of years.
