Just as the Clouds of Glory elevated the children of Israel spiritual and physically, they likewise were responsible for the transmission of the Essence of Illumination that set them totally apart from the other nations. It was through this transformation that they became HaShem’s chosen people.
It is the Light of holiness, transmitted by HaShem, that surrounds every Tzadik (righteous person), distinguishing them from all other individuals, and elevating them above all other G-d fearing people. This revels the value of the “Sukkot” through the sukkah itself. The Light of HaShem also shines over Israel and engulfs them in such a manner that when they wave the lulav and its associated species their enemies are terrified.
Yeshayahu (Isaiah) 49:23 states, “With their faces to the earth they will bow down to you (the children of Israel)…” Also 60:14 “The sons of those who persecuted you shall come to you bowing.” All the nations will then be subjugated and bow down to Israel, and the children of Israel will partake of HaShem’s Light that shines upon their Land.

Yeshayahu (Isaiah 24:17–20,23) states: “Terror, gorges, and traps will come upon you, the residents of the earth. Whoever flees from the sound of terror will fall into the gorge, and whoever gets out of the gorge will be caught in the trap, because the skylights of heaven were opened to bring down this fate, and the foundations of the earth will quake. The earth is broken; the earth crumbles; the earth is dismantled. The earth will move like a drunkard and shake like a hut…And the moon will be shamed and the sun embarrassed, for HaShem reigns in Mt. Zion.
Let’s compare this language to a comment of Walter Sullivan: Drilling into the Atlantic…has begun to paint a picture of the awesome events that accomplished the birth of that ocean. The cleavage of continents…was not a peaceful process…It seems to have been Wagnerian in its eruptions and upheavals–a series of events suited to the mind and romantic pen of Immanuel Velikovsky. As the Atlantic was born, (volcanic) activity must have been on a formidable scale, with new volcanoes thrusting the sea, darkening the skies, and exploding under cataclysmic steam pressure when rupture of thei walls allowed the sea to pour in.
