A stiff neck, rebellious people?

We are a creation of G-D. All of us are HIS, by HIS handiwork, HIS will and the breath of Life HE placed within each of us.

We seemly, by our rebellious nature, refuse to give our acknowledgment to the Love, Power and Righteousness of the G-D of Abraham, Issac and Jacob. We go out of our way to avoid performing HIS commandments and judgments which give life to our soul and death upon disobedience to our soul.

We seemingly, with full knowledge, strive to misunderstand that which is HIS LAW and instead seek to create laws of men to overrule the G-D that created us. This we do as if we have the wisdom to understand the results of such policies. Even so, we are still here. Not by our power, or might, or wisdom can we honestly lay claim to saving ourselves from annihilation many, many times over the past 3,500 years.

We will be a Nation of priest, when we accept the G-D that created us and sustains us. Until then we have a job to do. A job that G-D told Abram about and we take as a blessing. A job that while we read the text of the Torah, we continue to get it wrong, and walk in the same rut, year after year.


The Job: We are the witness to the whole earth that G-D IS, That there is only One, that WE(all of us) are to love the L'RD with All of our heart, all of our soul, all of our being.

IF we are great in this task, we are blessed with peace, abundance and holiness so that the Whole World see that G-D is G-D. Truly we will be a Nation of Priest, leading the way to H'shem and Righteousness.
But, as we have continually refused to perform that which we are commanded by our G-D, we demonstrate by our suffering, decimation, and the hatred of us by the world, and not our being allowed to disappear from the earth, that there is a G-D in Israel, a G-D that is G-D. We are HIS witnesses whether we like it or not.
So why is it that we continue to hurt ourselves in such a self-hating manner?

Don't you understand that H'shem needs no curse to punish us, unless the idea of a curse is that you simply allow the other to perform in such a manner as to draw out the hate they feel for themselves and the hate others will feel toward them, thereby allowing them to all but destroy themselves totally.


Here is what I strive to do daily. To Love the G-D, To follow HIS LAWs and Rules, to Keep the Sabbath completely. I do not say that it is easy, only that I strive to get it right.

With the Love of G-D and some effort on your part, you to can be Righteous before H'shem.
B''Shem
Shalom,
Yaakov
