As dawn brightens on the horizon, its light begins to permeate every dark corner and reveal everything that was previously hidden in the darkness. When the new day arrives, it is impossible to remain asleep any longer.
"We've had six decades of American presidents whose orientation was in our direction, and now I think that we are having to wake up."
By now, I'm sure you've probably already seen the video of NBC's Brian Williams bowing to Obama as if he were royalty and the video of Evan Thomas of Newsweek calling Obama "a god."
This is the ultimate gaivah about which Hashem says, "There is not enough room in the world for both Me and him."
Israel's Channel One TV reported that Netanyahu was told Tuesday by an "American official" in Jerusalem that, "We are going to change the world. Please, don't interfere." The report said Netanyahu's aides interpreted this as a "threat." (Hat tip to the SpineDoc's wife)
There is a Jew who stands at Barack Obama's right hand. His name is Rahm, as in "loud, high, senior, important, esteemed." He is a reflection of his boss's self-image.
Now, see what Parashat Shelach has to say:
"A person who acts high-handedly---b'yad ramah---...he shall be cut off...."
But probably not before he fulfills his destiny to "change the world." He'll change it all right.
"He is an evil messenger who will cause the destruction of most of the world."
And after that, it really will change---from the World of Sheker to the World of Truth.
May Hashem have mercy on us and extend His kindness to us so that we might live and survive to see that day fully dawned and experience its inexpressible joy. AMEN!
