Some thougths ...Thank you for your brilliant input.<br />Some thougths from two former christians in Sweden:<br /><br />The Prophet Hoshea likens Yisrael to Ben Elohim.<br /><br />"When Yisrael was a Child, then I loved Him, and called My Son out of Mitzrayim." (Hoshea 11:1)<br /><br />Even Mashiach is likened to Ben Elohim, isn't he?<br /><br />So, to make a "dibbah" against Yisrael, isn't that to make a "dibbah" against HaMashiach?<br /><br />Now, there must be an equal possibility to make a "dibbah" against both Yisrael or HaMashiach then.<br /><br />In our circle, The House of Yosef is seen as followers of the G-d of Yisrael from the nations.<br />The House of Yehuda, is obvious...<br /><br />Now, the christians have done a "dibbah" on Yisrael. Have the christians any gain in removing that dibbah?<br /><br />Could there be a benefit to repeat the tikun of Calev (House of Yehuda) and Yehoshua (The House of Yosef) in our days?<br /><br />As it is written:<br />"This says HaShem tzevaoth; In those days it shall come to pass, that ten men shall take hold out of all languages of the nations, even shall take hold of the tzitzit of him that is a Yahudi, saying, We will go with you: for we have heard that Elohim is with you." (Zecharyah 8:23) <br /><br />Just as Calev (House of Yehuda) reaches out and allows Yehoshua (House of Yosef) to see the clearity and the importance of the Tikva, after his experience in Hevron. <br /><br />"And I will bless them that bless you, and curse him that curses you: and in you shall all mishpachot of the earth be blessed". (Bereshit 12:3)<br /><br />One more thing:<br />As we know, Yosef serves as a model for Mashiach Ben Yosef.<br />As in the story of Yosef, he, Yosef, makes himself known to the brethren two years into the difficult years.<br /><br />Could he be among us, hidden, so we dont recognize him due to his hethen attributes?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
