| - Though my eyes could see, I still was a blind man Though my mind could think, I still was a mad man I hear the voices when I'm dreaming; I can hear them say: Carry on my wayward son, there'll be peace when you are done ... -Kansas, "Carry on Wayward Son" Habbalah, the Punishers, are the fourth Band of demons. They oppose Elohim. But that's not how Habbalah see it. In their view, they're angels serving God directly -- the only ones serving God, in fact. Their mission is to separate the strong from the weak with trials and hardship. In turn, many Habbalah explain the lack of a direct sign of God's approval as a test of their will. The anxiety of never knowing for sure is painful, beyond comprehension at times, but they are determined to fight the good fight all on their own, from the very pits of Hell, that they might prove themselves worthy. Sure, it'd be a lot easier to be like the "angels" in Heaven, with an assigned role and a mass of like-minded individuals reassuring you that what you were doing was right. But Truth isn't "fair".
