MESSAGE OF THE ARCHANGEL GABRIEL

Part 2: You are blessed in the New Time

So will you be blessed with a new understanding of Israel's history. To see it you must stand on the time-band that results from 'nora 'alila 'al bnei adam' – 'terrible are the decrees of God placed on mankind' (Psalms, 66: 5). God prohibited Adam and Eve to eat of tree of knowledge of good and evil; and yet Adam and Eve had to eat of that delicious but 'terrible' tree. otherwise how would mankind have gotten out of the Garden and into the world which was clearly part of God's Design in history? (5) This is why those decrees of Nora 'alila are terrible; they enhance the terrible contradiction of free choice in the face of such higher decrees for the sake of what is best for all mankind. Oh, Adam and Eve were given free-choice, to eat or not to eat, and they chose sinning and they ate. They could not, however, not have eaten of it, otherwise mankind's history would never have gotten started. So will you ask with frustrated wisdom, oh then, did they have free choice or not? (10) And yet you are blest o Israel in carrying the contradiction with you throughout your history, unquestioningly and with temimut – simple faith. God's omniscience and His knowledge are far above all human contemplation. For you are blessed in the virtues of mercy and compassion and with the attribute of realizing the smallness of the human intellect and its totally limited capacity to understand God's greatness. (13) And yet is it commanded to understand what can be understood.

The two strands of the seeming contradiction are obviously both true. It is true that God Almighty commanded them not to eat of it thus bestowing on them the greatest of God's gifts to mankind, free-choice. It is also true that had they not done that which was a sin and were not punished by being thrown out into the world, there would have been no place for the development of all history. Therefore in the light of nora 'alila 'al bnei adam you are helped to look at history from the point of view that all this had to happen in the end while at the same time such never underminded or diminished the truth of free-choice and the punishments for sin. (5) For at just about every point in Israel's history after their redemption from Egypt, they fell into the traps furnished by the Sagacious one's cunning. So does one say with reasonable Torah justification, It is a shame and unfortunate they fell and sinned, all history could have gone differently had they behaved righteously before God. It is true and justifiable to say such. On a higher level, however, God Blessed is He and Blessed is His name forever, saw all history and He saw all mankind was prone to sin and most important He saw the choices that Israel would make at every point in its long and difficult historical course. In order that Israel and all humankind be able to come to terms with the New Time of the Geula Shleima necessary were the Corrections of those sins. (10) The sins of Israel, primarily, and then of the Nations would have to be corrected while the evil in those sins would have to be destroyed for the world. Thus all that has happened, in the end, had to be such. The great play-out of history, in the end, is to bring Israel and the Nations to the time of the Great Historical Final Redemption. (13) Had all the sins that came out had not come out and were not corrected, they would have come out to plague mankind again at the time of the Final Redemption.

The contradiction is there but also the answers are at hand. God did not take away free-choice after He had given it to Adam and Eve but He saw all the choices that would be made by all mankind. He did not determine the choices, He looked at the history of Israel and He saw all the choices that Israel as a people would make. He thus knew all the means that Israel, and also the Nations, would need in order to be able to reach the Final Redemption. (5) The contradiction comes so that all will be able to maintain the seeming contradictions between God's choices and mankind's choices without getting confused. It is part of the New Humble Brain of the Geula Shleima. This will add to the versatility of the mind and depth in understanding. For both (God's choices and mankind's choices) are true and in truth they do not contradict each other. Nor does God Almighty contradict Himself. Was it not foreseen by God Almighty that Israel would sin and would be cast into exile among the nations? (10) That contact and that extension and those millions of new experiences had to be because they were necessary for the widening of Israel's perspective when the Universality of the Final Pact is revealed for Israel and for the world of Nations. O Israel, not only are you blessed in the Sanctification of your souls at Sinai but you are even blessed in all the turmoil and terrible experiences of past history. For the New Time of the Great Final Redemption, in merit of the chosen Goel, the Teacher Haim, is on its hidden course from the departure and resurrection of the Tzadik Haim. (13) It is hidden during this Fourth Generation but, after it, you o Israel and the Nations will be blessed in the New Time.
