We have been here before, many times. Purim is a tale told every year because we quickly forget who we are and why we are here.
There could not be a more fateful time for Netanyahu to speak to us than at Purim. He reminded us that we are not the perfection of mankind and our age is not the end of history. He warns us that we will leave a terrible skid mark on the pages of history if we fail to discern our true enemy and fail our true friends.
We are at a precipice and we may well fall into a terrible pit that bottoms at the end of all we hold dear. We have surrendered power to those who believe they are saviors but are deluded tyrants and fools.
We have been warned.
And Jesus said: "For as were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark,and they were unaware until the flood came and swept them all away, so will be the coming of the Son of Man."
Mat 24:37-39
I find it somewhat significant that Khameini had a major stroke right around Purim. As in Divine Significance.
An absolute masterpiece!
My favorite paragraph from a wonderful article.
