Image via WikipediaYes, we are entering the time of understanding when the mind of Judaism will recognize that the 'secular' state is not secular but is the mind of Benjamin expressing itself among the Jewish People. Now, how can the mind of Benjamin, which is not naturally the mind of the House of Judah, be preserved from destruction?
Let us ask ourselves what Joseph would have done had not Judah offered himself up for Benjamin! Why ask this question? It did not happen. It will not happen. Even those rabbis that are against the State of Israel are for the "non-religious" Jews who, in their view, misguidedly created it. The true heart of the rabbi is a heart with eyes only of prayer and love toward every Jew. Still, we must ask what Joseph would have done had not Judah taken responsibility for Benjamin because it was not Joseph who was making the decisions. It was HaShem. And HaShem can raise children to Abraham out of the stones.
Now I say to you my friends that generic Christianity has been a great friend to the State of Israel in the past but this is nothing like the friend that purified Christianity will be to the State of Israel when the tares are separated from the wheat and inner Christianity is separated from outer Christianity and this Pauline gentile movement is fully converted to a state of spiritual maturity in accordance with the prophecies of G-d. For this is as certain to happen as it is certain that the Anointed Son of David is now sitting at the right hand of G-d.
The correction of understanding and belief in the Good News of Israel and Her Messiah will occur in all the nations unto the end of the earth. And this will occur as Judah becomes more and more willing to offer up himself for 'Benjamin' to prepare the way for the Kingdom. At that time, purified Christianity will begin to bring great material wealth and energy to bear upon the crisis in and around the Land of Israel, in Lebanon, in Jordan and in all the disputed territories of Israel. Through an influx of great wealth and energy the blessing of Abraham will bring the promise of great peace to 'Benjamin'. It is then with great envy that the adversary shall come against the Land, knowing that his time is short. For Judah and Joseph will then be standing eye to eye and heart to heart with Joseph hardly able to restrain himself any longer.
The mystery of G-d that has been concealed until now is revealed in this: G-d is living in the Land and has been every day since he walked its borders with Abraham. Did He depart from the Temple? Yes. Did He depart from the Land? No. His fire is in His Land and will consume all who are not invited there by His word.
But it is said by the sages that His Glory, the Shekinah, went into exile and into the place of suffering with His people. Understand this by asking, How did His Shekinah go into exile? In the form of G-d's Glory or in the form of G-d's Humility?
Did He go with Jacob down into Egypt? Yes, He had already gone there with Joseph. Did He leave His Land when He went down into Egypt? No. His Glory went down into Egypt but His Humility stayed in His Land. And so it is today but in an inversion. For He redeemed the body of Israel once, now He redeems her heart.
Has His Glory then returned to His Land together with the majority of the House of Judah? Did His Glory "make Aliyah" when Israel became a modern state in 1948? Here is the secret of the inversion of the Exiles. After that His Glory returned with the bones of Jacob and Joseph (in the two phases of the Exodus) to His Land, His Glory never again left the Land, but when Mashiach was cast out of the camp the Ruach of HaShem was cast out of the camp with Israel's tzora'as. Thus, while Israel was in Egypt the Glory of G-d was with her but the Humility of G-d remained in the Land, but now the Humility of G-d is in exile with His people while His Glory remains concealed in the Land from which She never left! The Land of Israel is G-d's courtroom. Jerusalem is His witness stand. There upon shall His people testify to the Glory of His Grace. For His people shall not be consumed in His fire, in which all the nations that come against His Land and His City shall be consumed.
Shalom and blessings,
