70 Faces to Torah

נביא אקים להם מקרב אחיהם כמוך ונתתי דברי בפיו ודבר אליהם את כל אשר אצונו

והיה האיש אשר לא ישמע אל דברי אשר ידבר בשמי אנכי אדרש מעמו

"I'll install a prophet for them from among their brothers, like you, and I'll put My words into his mouth; And he will speak to them all I command him.

And, whoever does not hearken to My words that he speaks in My name, I will exact it of him."


The Torah has 70 faces. Here's one that jumped out at me, although Rashi gives a different understanding, but my understanding cannot be denied from the consecutive words of the Torah:

I will embed a prophet in your midst [every generation], and I will place My words in his mouth [דברי אלקים חיים], which he will speak to you ... and he who will not heed [these] My words, which the prophet vocalized, I will compel him to acquiesce.

In other words, Hashem expects every Jew to pay heed to the words spoken by Hashem's prophet, in our case, the prophet of OUR generation - the Rebbe - and if some Jews believe they can overlook the Rebbe's words, words that God placed into his mouth, where the Rebbe's throat vocalized Hashem's words, then these Jews will in the final scenario have to acquiesce for lack of no other choice.

Degenerate Political Policy

Torah tells us (Deut.19:11-13) a 1st-degree murderer of a Jew himself must face the death penalty. How much more so, therefore, if the murderer is a Gentile terrorist? Yet Israel today has this logic turned on its head; Instead of ridding the world of this Arab scum, they allow them to go free from jail after a period of incarceration. This policy is like spitting God in the eye.

The reason God gave Jews the Holy Land was because the Canaanite ways He found abominable (Deut.18:10-12). One such abomination was the sacrifice of children to a "higher" purpose. Nothing has changed; Today too the Arabs sacrifice their sons and daughters for a "higher" purpose, first by educating them to admire evil behavior, while brainwashing them to believe the Jew is less than human, and finally by strapping the children with suicide vests. And to be sure the violence perpetuates, they commemorate boulevards, plazas and placards for their "heroes".

-- -- --

Yet some Jews, especially the wayward, Reformist Jews, seek to find common ground with or mollify this bitter enemy, who God Himself knows is incorrigible and therefore warns us to rid the Holy Land of them.

In spite of this degenerate Israeli political policy, the Land of Israel thrives and its Jewish people will soon, hopefully very soon, dance with Moshiach and reclaim its entire landscape in the Era of Ultimate Redemption.
