A World in the Grip of Death
They called him Moishe the Beadle. He was the jack of all trades in a Hasidic house of prayer in Sighet, Trannsylvania, a region of Romania. He was the poorest man in all Sighet. He was shy and kept to himself but he was liked by the people. He mastered the art of invisibility and insignificance which had he known the task ahead of him, being an observant Jew, he would have made himself of more significance. For, who will believe the poorest man in town?
This is a recounting of the first person mentioned in the book "Night" by author Elie Wiesel. You can read the latest edition online but it is a painful read. It will hurt you to read it and the pain will be more real to you than just a normal unaware reader. The author has experienced the "first faces of hell and death". For those of you who chose to read this book don't let anyone of you lose sight of hope. Endurance wins the prize.
In the year 1941 a young teenager was asked a question by a man, " Why do you cry when you pray ". He answered, "I don't know". Thus began a relationship between two human beings who sought to love God.
Not long after their discussions about Jewish mysticism began, months. All foreign Jews were expelled from Sighet and Moishe the Beadle was a foreigner. The foreign Jews were packed into cattle cars and transported to hell and death. But Moishe the Beadle surived and by the strength God gave him, he returned to Sighet to warn the people.
But the people of Sighet would not recieve his warnings and pleadings. Francois Muriac wrote the Forward to the book "Night" and in it he spoke of the people. He spoke of their blindness, their inconceivable passivity, the deafness in their ears to warnings and pleas, their refusals to believe an eyewitness to the frist faces of hell and death. That is what sealed their fate.
Does this feel painfully similar to today?
Why could they not believe at that time?
Why can they not believe at this time?
"Every question possesses a power which is lost in the answer"
Moishe the Beadle
We are just like Moishe the Beadle. We speak. We write. We cry but no one pays any attention to us. It is to umbelieveable, to incomprehensible, nonetheless, it is true. And we cannot be silient.
We have a task to perform and we are not permitted to avoid it. God is watching us.
Plato asked: If we were shielded from the consequences of our actions, how would that change the way we act?
We are painfully aware of the answer to this question and the power of the question is not lost. It is the "mystery of iniquity".
In the coming days I will write about the deception that is here and that is coming. I will speak of the absolute necessity of being rooted and grounded in the fact that Christ came in the flesh, died on the cross and rose from the dead. Don't let anyone steal that from you.

Elie Wiesel passed away on July 2, 2016. I will always remember him on that day of July because that is also my birthday. A commentator on NPR said that his book "Night" and "The Diary of Anne Frank" were the two most read books about that terrible era of history. The commentator also said that although his book was about his ordeal, there was also an underlying story of how he lost his faith in his God. The God he loved. He lived to be a voice for those who no longer had a voice.
I want to make a comment about the book "Night" and the author Elie Wiesel. He, the author, was told that he survived his ordeal in Auschwitz in order to write his book "Night". I believe that is a true statement. The author wrote in his own words that he believed that every book has a destiny. I believe this is also a true statement and I believe that its destiny is for today, for this precise time at the ending of time. It is written in the book of Revelation, chapter 10, verses 6 and 7 that there should be time no longer and that the mystery of God should be finished.
Were it not for the horrors that we have experienced, Iam not sure that I would have this certain eschatological point of view. The author wrote that only those who experienced Auschwitz know what it was and it is the same with us. No one knows what it is like to be tortured the way we are presently being tortured. And the world and the church remains ignorant and silent to our cries and pleas, even though these cries and pleas are an attempt to warn them that the world is again turning demented and glacial, where again humans will become inhuman and the masters will do whatever they deem necessary as they imagine in their absence of God intellect.
I would like to say that I insist that every Christian who reads this blogpost would also read the book, Night. But I am not that bold. You may not be put to the test as some have. But if you were, wouldn't you like to be prepared to stand to the end and glorify Jesus.
Luke 12: 4,5 And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. But I will forwarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell: yea, I say unto you, Fear him.

Jesus "the" Christ of God
God forever changed the form of His existance
For you
From Phillipians 2: 6 Who being in the form of God thought it not robbery to be equal with God. But made himself of no reputation and took upon him the form of a servant and was madein the likeness of men. And being found in fashion as a man. He humbled himself and became obedient unto death even the death of the cross.
Before the foundation of this world (or world age) God predetermined that the Eternal Son of God from eternity past, very God of very God, would change his form of existence for all eternity future, to redeem the lost and create an eternal kingdom with no end with the firstborn from the dead as King of Kings and Lord of Lords with a new humanity in unity with God, eternally.
From First Peter 1: 18,20 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things but with the precious blood of Christ as a Lamb without blemish and without spot who verily was foreordained before the foundation of th world but was manifest in these last times for you.

Jesus created everything seen and unseen and
Jesus became part of His creation
From the Gospel of John
John 1. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2. The same was in the beginning with God. 3. All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made. 4. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness [overcame] it not. 6. There was a man sent from God, Whose name was John. 7. The same came for a witness, to bear witness of that Light. 8. He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. 9. That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. 10. He was in the world. And the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. 11. He came unto his own, and his own received him not. 12. But as many as received him, to them gave he the power to become the [children] of God, even to them that believe on his name; 13. Who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. 14. (And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us and we beheld his glory, as of the only begotten of the Father), full of grace and truth.
John 17. 1 These words spoke Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son may glorify thee. 2 As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. 3 And this is life eternal, that they know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. 4. I have glorified thee on the earth; I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do. 5. And now, O Father, glorify thou me with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. 6. I have manifested thy name unto the men whom thou gavest me out of the world; thine they were, and thou gavest them to me, and they have kept thy word. 7. Now they have known that all things, whatever thou hast given me, are of thee. 8. For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them. and have known surely that I came out of thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me. 9. I pray for them; I pray not for the world, but for them whom thou hast given me; for they are mine. 10. And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them. 11. And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are. 12. While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name; those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition, that the scripture might be fulfilled. 13. And now come I to thee, and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves., 14. I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 15. I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. 16. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 17. Sanctify them through thy truth; thy word is truth. 18. AS thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world; 19. And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth. 20. Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also who shall believe on me through their word; 21. That they all may be one, as thou , Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us; that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. 22. And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them, That they may be one, even as we are one; 23. I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me. 24 Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me before the foundation of the world. 25. O righteous Father, the world hath not known that thou hast sent me. 26. And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it that the love with which thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.
John 17. 1 These words spoke Jesus, and lifted up his to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son
