And don't think every action is the Will of G-d. If you shoot a person, might he not die? And if you chop off someone's head, surely he would be dead. And would this not be wrong, if you kill an innocent person? Yet G-d does nothing to stop it. He only Tells mankind what is Right, that people might redeem themselves and sanctify their lives.
G-d does not punish Israel, for people already punish themselves. Evil nations bring only evil to their people and to everyone else, good or bad. When people turn evil, people die. G-d cannot be harmed by His Creations, except that He Is a part of man (for the spirit of man is of the Breath of G-d). When the world is in the wrong hands, good people turn bad and destroy themselves and everyone else. G-d Teaches Justice to His subjects only for goodness sake. Israel has suffered only because it has failed to serve the Order of Justice.
If Israel follows G-d's Laws, then Justice will be served, and so Israel will be preserved. G-d doesn't follow His Laws in place of Israel, just as G-d doesn't Act in place of His people. Israel must choose for itself. G-d only Tells Israel what is good and what is bad. What Israel chooses is what Israel gets. G-d's Laws are Good; they bring Justice to the world and Redemption to mankind. When Israel follows G-d's Laws it is defending itself with G-d's Help. Because when Israel does G-d's Work on earth, no nation would be right to object and thus no person could deceive mankind.
Israel might say it's afraid to take on the responsibility and act as if it knows what's Right, because Israel does not trust in G-d and is deceived by mankind. If people are reasonable, then they'll find nothing wrong with the Laws of G-d. If something is unjust, then either it has originated from a deceived mind (of the limited perspective of mankind) or else it is not the Word of G-d. You must understand that you are the one in charge, and people are responsible for themselves and for their actions. Whenever something goes wrong, it is only our fault (the fault of those that have done wrong).
When Israel is not with G-d it only fights against itself, because Israel behaves like everyone else, and so it's not much different than its enemies. Therefore an Israel that is not with G-d achieves nothing from victory and is not much different in defeat. In victory, Israel behaves like everyone else, and in defeat it is forced to be like everyone else. So what does it matter if Israel wins or loses, when either way it is a loser?
But when Israel follows G-d's Laws, it has every Reason to succeed, yet it would be a curse upon the world should it be defeated. Most nations would not dare attack the True nation of G-d, for this would be an attack against themselves. Only evil would wish G-d's people harm, and thus Israel would have every Reason to destroy the evil people. When Israel is fighting for the good of the world, it cannot be defeated, because Reason precedes confusion and Order is stronger than disorder. When people see Something Good they turn away from evil, because they know what evil brings, and death and suffering are miserable things. Thus G-d Defends Israel, because Good stands out and defends itself, since it Brings out the best of man; the Breath of G-d within him. |
