Chochmas Nashim: Behar: I Thought It Was Shin Bet…It Was G-d’s Direct Hand
By: Suri Davis
I have to admit, that when I heard that Iran’s President’s helicopter went down, I thought it was taken down by Shin Bet, Israel’s intelligence service, but it wasn’t, it was G-d’s direct hand, as it was at the time the Jews were redeemed from Egypt. The scenario was that the Jews were slaves to Egypt for about 200 years, when G-d sent Moses to Egypt to tell Pharaoh the very famous words “let my people go.”
But after this appearance, Pharaoh worsened the situation for the Jews and increased their tortured. They screamed out to Moses, for this G-d sent you, to make our burdens harder? Then G-d brought the plagues on the Egyptian over the period of two years, and the torture increased. Then G-d commanded the Jews to take lambs, which were the Egyptian G-d, and tie the lambs up for four days, which would generally cause the Egyptians to seethe, seeing their G-d tied up to bedposts. Then G-d commanded the Jews to put the blood of the Egyptian G-d on the doorposts, as evidence of their faith and trust in G-d that the Egyptians would not harm them, and those that did, were saved by G-d during the plague of the death of the firstborn.
The situation became even more dire, darker and darker…the greater to reveal the great light of G-d who took the Jews out of Egypt not through another army, or via an angel/messenger, but with His hand directly.
The Haftorah in this week’s parshah states the following: Jeremiah 32
:15: For so says the Lord of Hosts, the Gd of Israel: Houses and fields and vineyeards shall be purchased again in this land.
:21: And you, Gd, brought Your people Israel forth out of the land of Egypt with signs and with wonders and with a strong hand and with an outstretched arm and with great fearfulness.
:22: and You gave them this land which You swore to their fathers to give them, and land flowing with milk and honey.
:27:Behold, I am the Lrd, the G-d of all flesh. Is anything concealed from Me?
Iran planned on killing a Jewish Iranian today. G-d had other plans. Instead the chief justice of Iran was killed in a helicopter crash. With faith, trust and prayer, all is possible. In a blink of an eye/kheref ayin, 300 warplanes and drones can miss their mark against Israel.
All of the nations with whom we have agreements, have turned on us.
The International Court of Justice put out warrants of arrest against Israel officials.
It is getting darker and darker for us on the international platform, and I will continue to state that we don’t belong to the world forum, we are servants of G-d and it is to him we owe our time and love and fealty. We don’t need to win Eurovision, we don’t have to Jewsplain to Biden why we will survive without him and the crooked United Nations and Internation Court of Justice.
It was really nice of United States Representative Elis Stefanik to stop by the Knesset to show her support, really nice of her and her cronies who are committed to sending support to Israel, thank you, yawn. Yisrael b’tach B’Hashem, ezram umaginam hu/Israel trusts in G-d who is their shield and security.
The world is becoming aggressive, the truth is hard to find, and in this darkness, and as the darkness grows, it will be easier to see G-d’s hand and light as we near the true, complete and final redemption speedily in our day.
This Wednesday is Pesach Sheni, it is traditional to have matzoh and wine. This Saturday night into Sunday is Lag B’omer.
Hang in there, Moshiach is on the way.
Chag sameach.
