Beit Midrash
- Torah Portion and Tanach
- Shmot
- Va'era
Resistance to the good intensifies whenever there is a leap forward – be it personal or national. What did you expect? That the defeated forces will not try to rally their remaining strength to fight? We must wait and see the beginning of the next parasha, Parashat Va'era, where the full answer to Moses' concern is given: "God spoke to Moses and He said to him, I am Lord [YHWH, the Tetragrammaton]". The term "God" means that there is a direction ("el") that leads us in the present, but the term "YHWH" means that there is indeed a present; the first letter in this name is a "yud", which indicates the future. From the viewpoint of the media of the present, it seems that the disruptive forces are increasing the bondage and the screams in the media – but those who are connected to the emerging future know that we are in the midst of coming out of Egypt.
The bad will pass.
The good will prevail.
With God's help.
