Shema is one of the most recited prayers in Judaism. It is normally translated as listen. I’m afraid our country, including Jews who live free and unafraid unlike in Europe, are not following that dictum. It is time we started. We must listen to our inner voices and what our officials, newsmakers and especially enemies are saying. That inner voice is part of our spiritual nature, Whether we call it our conscience, our soul,an angel, or even G-d it is our guide and moral compass.
Earlier this week Glenn Beck made an unusual and personal revelation about his health. What struck me, beyond his personal trauma was his dilemma. While his health deteriorated and his enemies continued to smear and slander him, he kept hearing this voice telling him to continue his difficult and energy sapping work, He soldiered on, praying with every step, and miraculously his debilitaing illnes was diagnosed properly and his work able to continue.
World Net Daily published the personal story of Christine Wiek, who courageously stood up in the National Cathedral, where Muslim prayer rugs were spread and her Christian religion was blasphemed. She is called a “heckler” by many media outlets, although reading about her strange journey to this private closed”interfaith” event I call her a brave Christian soldier. Her journey, standing for her country and religion, started with listening to that small still voice. Miraculously, she was not arrested nor was any violence perpetrated against her.
Not only do we have to listen to that voice, but we have to listen to what our enemies say. The National Cathedral is the church where many presidents and other American political leaders worship. Islamic doctrine states that Christianity and Judaism are “abrogated ” religions. That means that they no longer have meaning or can exist under Islam. Bringing a Muslim prayer service, under the guise of brotherhood, to the National Cathedral was demonstrating Muslim power over Christians in American.
Then , of course, we have the dhimmi (or is it dummy?) Jews who still aren’t listening to the message being sent to us from our enemies all over the world. Anyone who thinks that a two state solution is possible isn’t listening to the chants of Allah Akbar as Jews are run over or stabbed in Jerusalem. Arab leaders like Abu Mazen (Mahmoud Abbas) exhort their people to kill Jews because its their obligation as Muslims. Instead of decrying the murder of innocents our president and Arabist State department scolds and threatens Israel for building houses in its own country.
Leaders of the Conference of Jewish Organizations issued a milquetoast statement after the Jeffery Goldberg article in The Atlantic. In it he stated that Prime Mimister Natanyahu was called unacceptable and derogatory names by White House officials. That would have started an uprising with a less civilized tribe. It’s time for Jews to listen to what’s being said. Democrats have accepted the One World idea of the Nazis and their Arab allies. Its Jewish minions are the new kapos. The Democrat platform denied G-d three times and stated that Jerusalem has to work out its “final status.” Why would any Jews give them money or loyalty? I’d like to think that its only because they’re not really listening, not because they’re self hating Jews. G-d is the creator of miracles. Glenn listened to that inner voice and so did Ms. Wiek. All we have to do is start listening.
