Why make* and bring geula not later, but NOW

13 Adar 5783 | י"ג אדר ה'תשפ"ג
The Fast of Esther | תענית אסתר


Shemoth שמות ל"ג, י"ב-י"ז 33:12-17, Sefaria
(bolding mine, English follows Hebrew - HDG)

 

 
י"ז וַיֹּ֤אמֶר יְהֹוָה֙ אֶל־מֹשֶׁ֔ה גַּ֣ם אֶת־הַדָּבָ֥ר הַזֶּ֛ה אֲשֶׁ֥ר דִּבַּ֖רְתָּ אֶֽעֱשֶׂ֑ה כִּֽי־מָצָ֤אתָ חֵן֙ בְּעֵינַ֔י וָאֵדָעֲךָ֖ בְּשֵֽׁם׃
 
17 And יהוה said to Moses, “I will also do this thing that you have asked; for you have truly gained My favor and I have singled you out by name.”

*** 

My comment: Moshe Rabbenu received the commandment back towards the beginning of this book to free the people and bring them to the Land haShem promised them. In the above passage, He was so angry with our ancestors for worshiping the golden statue of a calf that He threatened to wipe them out and start all over again with Moshe. It shows Moshe's derekh eretz that he remembered what his mission was, and that he convinced haShem to stick with it, rather than abandon the people altogether. After all, how did he know that his descendants wouldn't do the same thing? And how long would this process go on; hasn't this gone on long enough? We are coming up to Am Yisrael's 3,335th birthdaysee HERE  - HDG

OH, GOD, if YOU gave and continue to give the Jewish People the favor YOU promised Moshe Rabbenu in the above passage, PLEASE SEND and REVEAL MASHIAH NOW!!!

***

Next year there will be two months of Adar! and be"H we will live and be well to see them with him!

* Make Geula: I got this term from Shmuel Sackett, HERE

Just remember that those who followed Moshe out of the darkness of Egypt/Mitzrayim got to have the chance to go to the Land they were promised! And not everyone made it here...
