FEAR ONLY HASHEM

Parashat Noach

"Now the earth had become corrupt before God; and the earth had become filled with robbery. And God saw the earth and behold it was corrupted, for all flesh had corrupted its way upon the earth." (Bereishit 6.11-12)

We are there again and not only that, the nearly 8 billion people in this world are ready to kill each other off.  More importantly, the nations of the world fervently desire to rid this world of its Jews, for whom the world exists. Only a very, very small minority of this world's inhabitants care about ratzon Hashem and giving Him the honor due Him as Creator, King and Father.

We, the faithful of Hashem, may be few in number, but we have a glorious future ahead of us...

...For your Master is your Maker - Hashem, Master of Legions is His Name; your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel - God of all the world shall He be called. ....For but a brief moment have I forsaken you, and with abundant mercy shall I gather you in. With a slight wrath have I concealed My countenance from you for a moment, but with eternal kindness shall I show you mercy, said your Redeemer, Hashem.

For like the waters of Noah shall this be to Me: As I have sworn never again to pass the waters of Noah over the earth, so have I sworn not to be wrathful with you or rebuke you.  For My kindness shall not be removed from you and My covenant of peace shall not falter, says the One Who shows mercy, Hashem. (Haftarah, Parashat Noach)

Ayn Od Milevado!

"My children, do not fear. All that I have done, I have done only for your sake.   Why are you afraid?  The time for your redemption has come.  And there is no need to fear."
