Jewish World Review ^ | 8/21/'09 | Rabbi David Aaron

Posted on 08/21/2009 12:35:34 PM PDT by Zionist Conspirator

Rabbi Eliezar was a very, very poor man. He subsisted on a meager diet of bread and garlic. One day, the rabbi was so hungry that he fainted. While unconscious, he had a dialogue with G-d. When revived by his students, he announced, "G-d spoke to me."

"What did He say?" "I asked G-d, 'Why couldn't You create me as a rich man? Why do I have to suffer like this?' And G-d answered, 'Rabbi Eliezar, my dear son, would you prefer me to destroy the entire world, and re-create it, and maybe you'll be born with a different destiny?' I said, 'G-d, destroy the entire world? And it's only going to be a maybe? I mean it's not even for sure that I'll get a different part in this next script you write?' G-d replied, 'That's right.'"

Let's fathom the profundity of what this conversation is revealing. Each and every one of us is playing just the right part. And the entire world would have to be destroyed and re-created, all of history would have to be ripped up and rewritten, to attempt to give you a different part. And even after all that, there is no promise you will get a better part in the play. This is because the whole fabric of history is totally interconnected. G-d takes into consideration everyone's role when he writes your part. G-d can't just pull you out of history and write a different scene for you.

Yep, "ramadan" coincides with 'Elul right now. In a couple years it'll slip back to coincide with 'Av (which is perhaps more appropriate).

OTHERS WOULD LEAD BUT “ I AM “ The Way !

My children am I truly your desire ? Then lift your brothers and sisters unto “ Me “ . Show them how to hear “ My Voice “ that I may be their Mentor and Shepherd for The Spirit of The Lord abounds in wisdom and the riches of “The Kingdom” , so suffer the children to “Come Unto Me “ For “ I AM The Kingdom “ and there is no other , show them how to “ Call Me Friend “ !

John 14:6 (Holman Christian Standard Bible)

6 Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me

Matthew 19:13-14 (Holman Christian Standard Bible)
Blessing the Children
13 Then children were brought to Him so He might put His hands on them and pray. But the disciples rebuked them. 14 Then Jesus said, “Leave the children alone, and don’t try to keep them from coming to Me, because the kingdom of heaven is made up of people like this.”

You are going to see a “New Tapestry” not the old Ecclesia but a new church of “ ME “( The Firstborn ) . The followers in truth that worship “ Me “ in Eternal youth patterned after “ Me “ . For is not this My Ecclesiae and Tapestry ?!

Hebrews 12:23 (Amplified Bible)

23And to the church (assembly) of the Firstborn who are registered [as citizens] in heaven, and to the God Who is Judge of all, and to the spirits of the righteous (the redeemed in heaven) who have been made perfect,
