And one of the most important methods we use is the one Hakadosh Baruch Hu teaches us in this possuk: ָ ה לוֹמֵ ד מַה טִ יבָן שֶׁ ל ִּ יבָן שֶׁ ל קְרוֹבִים אַתְּזֶה ּ אֵ ין מַ מָּ שׁ בְ ָך ְּזֶה כְּשֵׁ ם שֶׁ אֵ ין מַ מָּ שׁ בְּרְ חוֹקִ ים, כּ – From the nature of the nearby gods, you can learn about the nature of the far-off ones. Just as there is no substance in these, so also is there no substance in those. That’s the lesson; that’s how to approach the whole problem of “What does the gentile world say?” It’s a very important way of seeing through the darkness.
And one day, when this world’s history comes to an end, there will begin a new period of history which will be all light. The time will come when the truth of Hakadosh Baruch Hu will shine and the world will realize that they have been bamboozled all along. And at that time the Am Yisroel will be established as the nation chosen by Hashem forever!
Have a Wonderful Shabbos
