Zephyros
And what of those who are not bound by contract? The non-Israelites that frequently appear throughout the bible that are either used as tools of Yahweh's vengeance or are slaughtered like cattle for the delight of Yahweh.
Well, I'm not defending God, obviously.
I'm just saying that if one uses the Bible to work out a Lurianic idea, one should try to think like Luriah and look at it from the point of view of a religious Middle Ages Jew, living in Palestine during tumultuous times. You don't have to necessarily stay in that mindset, but the background of an idea does give clues about which angle to tackle it from. Even those atrocities would be worked out as having a higher purpose somehow, maybe even abstractly as we're doing now, with Kabbalah. A "safe" assumption to make, for example, is that God is never wrong. It doesn't matter whether one believes in it or not, but all subsequent ideas stem from the single one, which wouldn't be denied by observant Jews, especially at the time.
