Parashat Chayei Sarah 5784 : The War Against the Land of Israel

The Torah portion of Chayei Sarah features the death of the matriarch Sarah, and Abraham’s purchase of the ‘Double Cave’ in the ancient city of Hebron, which would become the famed Tomb of the Patriarchs. But the city of Hebron and this holy site contain a vast secret that has immeasurable significance…a secret which provides great insight into the war now being waged not only against the people of Israel…but against the Land of Israel itself.
The Torah portion of Chayei Sarah (Genesis 22 : 1 - 25 : 18) is read on Shabbat, MarCheshvan 27, 5784 - November 11, 2023

Thank you.

[@kittymeow1113]

Amein v'amein, this is so brilliant! That the holiness of the land of Israel and her connection to G-d is proof of how the physical and the spiritual are one in Hashem and both reflect His Glory. Also that separating the physical and spiritual is the root mindset of idolatry, and therefore living outside of Israel for a Jew is the equivalent of idolatry! Thank you so much for sharing the light and truth with us.

[@rebeccacarroll3554]

Love you Rabbi!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Rabbi, is it true that the Hittites were descendants of the giants (as they are mentioned later, with others), but Abraham was able to deal with them on good terms (?)

For you... לָכֵן, כֹּה אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה, הִנְנִי עָלַיִךְ, גַּם-אָנִי; וְעָשִׂיתִי בְתוֹכֵךְ מִשְׁפָּטִים, לְעֵינֵי הַגּוֹיִם. וְעָשִׂיתִי בָךְ, אֵת אֲשֶׁר לֹא-עָשִׂיתִי, וְאֵת אֲשֶׁר-לֹא-אֶעֱשֶׂה כָמֹהוּ, עוֹד--יַעַן, כָּל-תּוֹעֲבֹתָיִךְ. לָכֵן, אָבוֹת יֹאכְלוּ בָנִים בְּתוֹכֵךְ, וּבָנִים, יֹאכְלוּ אֲבוֹתָם; וְעָשִׂיתִי בָךְ שְׁפָטִים, וְזֵרִיתִי אֶת-כָּל-שְׁאֵרִיתֵךְ לְכָל-רוּחַ.

The promise was to Abraham and his seed. ALL the nations of the earth, ALL the families of the earth will be blessed. That means that specific blessing is available outside of the land, and at the time the promise was given, Abraham owned nothing in the land. Although the land is a geographic home, on your logic presented here, any revelation given to any Jew/israelite living outside the land must be akin to a revelation from an idol, including that which was written in Babylon. Also by this logic, Moses received the law outside of the land, so he must have also received it by an idol! All scriptire is given by inspiration of God, and did not all come from those living in the land!!

Funny, ive concluded that there are different powers or principalities and archons that control religions? You are suggesting they are all connected at the root. I remember the story where the king sacrificed his son to Kemosh and the israelites were routed. I dont mean this in a mocking way but can we suggest that kemosh is apart of the most high.

HaShem himself Named Him (YishmaEL), YishmaEL was The First ever child in The Bloodline of Avraham Who Born with The Name of HaShem "EL" Avraham Avinu will be A Great Nation through Yishmael, Which means Every Nation on Earth will be blessed through Yishmael, Not through יַעֲקֹב‎ Ya'akov, יַעֲקֹב‎ Ya'akov meaning to be behind or to follow
