Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem

Lately the Media has been flooded with stories about sexual harassment in the workplace. Today's bible story shows us that this is nothing new. Joseph was not only an "employee", he was a SLAVE. Slaves, even in the present day in supposedly "modern" countries, are expected to gratify their master's (or mistress's) sexual needs. "Social Justice Warriors" make a big deal out of stories about our Founding Fathers, excoriating them for alleged dalliances with slaves, and yet extolling a culture of permissiveness that has begotten the current scandals in Hollywood, TV, News-Media, and Politics. It is hypocrisy of the highest order.

Yet, unlike aspiring movie stars, White-House Interns, Congressional Pages, Make-Up Artists, Secretaries, or Aides, Joseph said "NO". And, unlike the aforementioned people, who acquiesced to get a role in a movie, a promotion, or a raise, or just to keep their jobs, Joseph did not just lose his job over it. He was falsely accused of RAPING HIS BOSS'S WIFE AND WAS SENT TO PRISON!

Now THAT'S Integrity!

Come and Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem, For Our FRiends in Need, For Persecuted Believers, and For Our Beloved Nation.

May the strength of God pilot us, may the wisdom of God instruct us, may the hand of God protect us, may the word of God direct us. Be always ours this day and for evermore.
(St. Patrick)

God Bless America!

[Ezekiel]

This story is a great example (or "the" example) of why bad things happen to good people.

It's a Divine plotline. All those things had to happen to Joseph to put him in a certain place at certain time for a certain reason.

It all makes sense in the end. The Torah account isn't even the full story of Joseph, but indicates what there is to look foward to (the great deliverance and the family reunion of all family reunions) no matter how hopeless things might seem on the surface.

The keys of deliverance were located in Egypt, aka the house of bondage. It would be one way of explaining why the word key is in literally in the end letters of name of Joseph, "shem Yoseph Tzaphnat Pa'ane'ach".

Take that back 30 years earlier with the meaning of the name Joseph, and what Rachel said, "the Lord shall add to me ANOTHER son."

Joseph is known as Joseph "ha-Tzaddik", Joseph the Righteous. Ha-tzaddik = 209 = achar (another) = ba-ohr, in the light.

It's David who unified the tribes and it is David who is the one king one shepherd over the reunified tribes (Eze 37).

There's more to literal genealogies than people think, as two families are united by the birth of a child.

The Divine narrative has chugged along, noone the wiser..

Remember what Tootle was told over and over, but he didn't listen?

"Stay on the rails no matter what."

So Bill concocted a plan.

Joseph is like Jesus in the way he stood against the prevailing corruption of the day - a root in dry ground.

Joining in prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem and for revival in our beloved America.
