Admiration for Israel

Moshe Rabbeinu’s final addresses gave an assessment as to how the nations of the world will view the Jewish people. There is a certain inevitability in his words.

Israel will constantly be scrutinized by the nations of the world. As difficult as it might be for them, they will eventually acknowledge the uniqueness of the Jewish people. It is the laws of the Torah that will set us apart from the rest of the world.

They will realize that only a “wise and understanding nation,” are capable of living by such a disciplined and holy life, according to a just set of laws.

This realization is known to the whole world. Some will choose to admire us, because of this, while others will choose hatred and wish that we would not exist.

We are witnessing all of this today. The admiration manifests itself by the mass wave of conversion to Judaism. The hatred shows its ugly face with illogical and vicious Jew hatred throughout the world.

In the end, the haters will either perish or also acknowledge the truth of Judaism. But the truth always becomes clear.

There is an amazing process unfolding, where, on one level, Israel is already the admiration of the world. But those who are in denial of this truth are demonstrating ignorance and foolishness that will be exposed.

The ugliness is meant to come as a wake up call to all Jews around the world. The Galut, the exile, is coming to an end. Jews are no longer welcome anywhere in the world, except for Israel.

All of this was predicted in the Torah and is happening right before our eyes. We are getting closer and closer to see a fulfillment of Moshe Rabbeinu’s final address. “Only a wise and understanding nation is capable of having such rules and statutes.” The world will admire and acknowledge Hashem, the Torah, and the people of Israel.
