No Random Occurrences: Hashem Behind the Scenes
How could it be that the enemy was able to kill so many of our people? Our hearts are breaking for all the families whose lives have been turned upside down. Our stomachs are churning, hearing about the atrocities that are taking place. We yearn for the day that Hashem will exact vengeance from our enemies.
We yearn for the day when the Mashiach will stand upon the roof of the third Bet Hamikdash and tell us,
הגיע זמן גאולתכם ואם אין אתם מאמינים ראו באורי שזרח עליכם “The time for your redemption has come. And if you don't believe me, look at my light that I'm shining upon you.” At that moment, Hashem will shine the light of the Mashiach upon us and we will live in complete bliss and tranquility.
Now we are experiencing the birth pangs of Mashiach. The Vilna Gaon asks why the Geula is compared to Ayelet Hashachar- the point of night closest to dawn. As the night progresses, it becomes darker and darker. And before dawn it becomes the darkest. That is also the way it is in child labor. The closer it becomes to the time of delivery, the harder the contractions become. When the contractions are almost unbearable, then the baby finally comes out. So too with Mashiach, when the pains become unbearable, as we are witnessing right now, we know the Geula is imminent.
The world is not a free-for-all. Nobody can harm us unless it is the will of Hashem. Throughout history, the enemy was only able to infiltrate because of our shortcomings. When we do what's incumbent upon us, our enemies will have no power.
One of the things we need to improve in is being unified with each other, to end the machloket, to make peace with everyone.
We are a nation who cares about each other. Let us perform the ultimate display of care and make peace with our ‘enemies’ for the sake of peace.
And of course, let us improve in any way we can in our Avodat Hashem, and may we see the Geula B’Karov, Amen!
