• The difference between a 'Prophet' and a 'Rabbi'.

    From Jos Boersema@21:1/5 to All on Sun Jan 7 08:22:53 2024
    It is more than a little obvious that there is a big difference between
    people like Moshe Rabbeinu and the 'prophets' whose story and words are
    related in the Tanach, and the Rabbis (and other teachers and leaders
    of Israel).

    The 'prophet' goes into it as a war against evil and straight hard against their own people if they have to, until death (sometimes gruesome). They
    seem to have a mindset of rage against liars and frauds, they are honest
    to the core, and want to help and save their own people by telling them
    the truth.

    The 'rabbi' is interested in a job at the school and/or the court. It is something which brings in the money, it can be interesting and you work
    with people which is what a lot of people like. They need and want to fit
    in, they need an audience. You cannot be a Rabbi without an audience, just
    like you cannot be a professional singer without anyone come to listen.

    It is certainly hoped for that the Rabbi is honest and cares, and to be
    like the prophets might be the ideal, but how often is it achieved ?
    The Rabbis in general seem to be incapable of going against their own
    people, their own group, even if there is reason to do so. They want to
    keep the audience.

    If you read the Tanach, and you imagine a situation where Israel fall
    back into idolatry, or part of those people do, you already know that
    the prophet pretty much wants to execute these people. That is after
    all the law of Moshe Rabbeinu. You can imagine scenes like the prophet
    saying that HKB'H will send a force to destroy Israel, because of their idolatry. When it has happened, the prophet says: I warned you, but you
    did not listen. The people weep and have to admit to themselves the truth.

    If you take October 7 2023, you saw people who where at some kind of
    mindless festival, certainly having nothing to do with the actual Jewish holiday (of the happiness of getting the Torah), who where dancing before
    a Bhudda statue. Israel gets attacked on that day, by Hamas, and it seems
    the major attack is on this very festival. They danced before the Bhudda
    idol, a big one on a raised platform, meters high it was, and meters large
    it was, in the land of Israel. Then they got killed, people where even
    taken hostage (if I understood correctly). What would a Prophet from the
    Tanach say ? It is obvious, I don't even have to write it. The prophet
    will certainly not side with the idolators, whatever else may be the case.

    The Rabbis ? They ignore the entire problem of the festival, that it
    broke the law in so many ways. They simply don't seem to care (for the
    Torah). They want to fit in with their people, and either don't care
    seriously at all anyway about the Torah (more likely), or they don't dare
    to say the truth (it seems less likely that this is the case). They see
    their people crying, and so they don't dare to poke them in the eye on
    top of that, saying what they did wrong. If they did that, it is a great
    way to loose your audience and create anger against yourself. They don't
    have the courage, they don't have the honesty, and they don't seem to even
    care or be bothered by the reality of the Torah law and what happened.

    Those people at the Nova festival, they would be executed under the law
    of the Torah. They would be executed by the people of Israel, under
    command of the original Redemption and it's structures. Israel would
    take the role of Hamas.

    No no, they want to weep for the dying and the killed, and not learn
    a thing about what they did wrong. Was it wrong, is idolatry wrong ?
    Idolatry makes people careless and mindless, because the idol will
    solve all their problems. The far eastern idol is notorious for this,
    in the extreme, by the way. You need to grab your responsibility, also
    for your people. You need to care, you need to push the Nation in the
    right direction. Not to sit on a cushion pretending the world is your imagination - which is some of the most arrogant ideas humans have ever imagined (Bhuddism). The stupidity of it is radical. I assume this is
    the reason for the prohibition against idolatry, besides that it detracts
    from doing the Torah, because the idols don't support the Torah.

    If the people are then so forced to take care of their Nation, and the idolators are pushed out (in this case to the far east I suppose), the
    Nation might be run with less corruption, wiser decisions. Such better decisions are likely to prevent war, while also uniting the Nation better, which makes it stronger in case they are being attacked anyway.

    Hence you see an opposite result from Rabbis and what we can think the
    Prophets including Moshe Rabbeinu would likely have done. When Israel in
    the desert starts to idolize a golden statue of a calf, it results in a
    war and (so I read) many thousands of people get murdered because they
    did this. These people who danced before the far eastern idol did the
    same as these people who danced for the golden calf idol, but instead
    of at least a rejection of their behavior, the whole of Israel seems to
    embrace it and want to protect them.

    While there is reason to not blame the festival goers, because there was
    no active law enforcement or law at all in this regards of prohibiting
    idolatry (which could also make Israel illegal to enter for people who
    worship the western idol from Rome), you could also blame yourselves
    for that. Why was this law not there, why is idolatry not a problem for
    Israel ? Israel more or less says something like: we are all idolators
    now, we all support this idolatry, we side with the victims of the
    attack, and don't even talk about their idolatry. We condone it, we
    support it. Rabbis supporting Bhuddism, which is a bad case of idolatry
    (I know the Bhuddist try to talk their way out of that always, but it
    is idolatry and it is also insane), this is how far it gets already.

    This is also why Rabbis do not correct things like the prozbul. They
    lack the honesty and courage of the people who really care. They are
    merely there "doing their job" and "trying to fit in" (does that remind
    you of someone, hmm ?)

    Rabbis are nothing like the prophets, nothing at all. You could say,
    the two groups at this point oppose each other in many ways, perhaps
    in most ways. It is less bad with the (ultra)Orthodox (who are not
    orthodox but reformers already), but the more loose forms of Judaism,
    they basically are completely at odds and in a fight against the prophets
    of Israel. A good marker for this is their 'homosexuality' (and worse,
    gender madness) rulings and opinions. If they support this, they went
    over completely to the other side, I would argue. They struggle against
    the Torah.

    The prophet in the Tanach, they care for truth, justice and peace.

    The Rabbis, they care for keeping an audience, to fit in, to earn money.

    The prophet: to the truth, to the death if need be.

    The Rabbi: keep everyone happy, stay alive, and hopefully do some good.

    The point is not to say that Rabbis are bad, because they are "just
    human". The point is to highling the strong difference between the
    prophets who have the authority, and these Rabbis who often seem to claim
    an amount of authority, but their morality and behavior as a group is
    massively short of that of the prophets.

    When you see the Zionist Rebel State collapse, and the dying of the
    Jewish people around the world taking on the proportions of a holocaust,
    or even 7 holocausts rolled into one, then you should know: you listened
    to your Rabbis, not to your Prophets. You listened to your Prime
    Ministers, not to your Moshe Rabbeinu. You did what your newspapers told
    you, not what your God told you.

    Realize the crime you are committing, the injustice, if you then turn
    around and blame your God, whose words in the Torah you ignored. You
    listened to someone else, who goes against your God, and then when you
    get into trouble, you blame your God for it. How insane is that ? I
    think you probably remade your God as an idol in your mind, a Mascotte
    for whatever you where choosing to do. As if your God is supposed to
    support everything you do, nothing more than a teddy bear wrapped in a
    Jewish Zionist flag, to parade aroud and call it your identity.

    Meanwhile your God looks on, and is probably crying - or so I have heard
    many times from people who seem trustworthy, that your God is basically
    crying about you, deeply saddened, by you leaving and not doing what you
    where supposed to be doing. All that you where supposed to be doing, was
    for you to become a happy people, and save mankind in the process. You
    went away, re-imagined your God in your own image, and then when it all
    goes wrong, you blame Him and hate Him for what you did. I hope you will
    read this, and realize that you should not. Return to your Torah, give
    the example to humanity, and live.

    You have been told to not be idolatrous, by the greatest people who ever
    lived who said your God tells you this, then keep to it.
    Distribute the land and keep it so.
    Stop breaking the Shabbos with your bizarre day and night schedule.
    Repeal the Prozbul, and with that, reform Rabbinical Judaism.
    Throw out this homosexual madness, and gender madness and whatever
    crazyness the Americans are using to keep their people busy with
    nothing, while children get hurt badly, sometimes maimed for life.

    Then see if you return to your God, if he will return to you, and look
    out for you. If not, if you fully did what you should, perhaps then you
    have a right to complain if eventually you get into major trouble.
    However even then, it could still be an injustice, because doing good
    has naturally good consequences, but that doesn't mean nothing bad can
    happen anymore, or that there won't be challenges to overcome to make us better. The whole world is a gift, the question is how do we treat it,
    how do we conduct ourselves and our Nation. Your Torah seems to have a
    lot of good ideas, which should all help. If you did them, you would
    benefit, sooner or later.

    If you cancelled debt in the 7th year, you help the poor and keep the
    rich in check. The poor will return to life hopefully, and the rich and
    greedy will have less power to corrupt your State. These are benefits,
    they should happen.

    If you distribute the land to all, everyone can start their lives in
    freedom. Again, you keep the rich and greedy in check. People cannot be unemployed because they have land. Poverty is reduced, the markets are
    flooded with offers from new and small businesses, to cater to the needs
    of the buyers. You won't be slaves to some wicked gangs with all the money
    and too much time.

    If you keep the Shabbos, you have a day of rest which will allow you to
    rethink and think about what you are doing, to steer your life in a good
    way. Your body will get the needed rest, which is critical in gaining
    strength and ability. You gain a space, from which you can struggle
    against corruption and lies.

    If you keep to the laws of family, your children will feel secure, loved
    and protected, and you could grow up being one of those children. Men
    will be able to be friends with men, without fear of crazy behavior.
    Marriage will be so solid and safe, there is just nothing else which
    can even be imagined. No loneliness, no crazyness, but a full life with
    people who love you and whom you love.

    If then an enemy came, like Hamas, to assault this Nation of honor and happiness ... they would have no chance. The poor may rise up with the
    rich, connected in bonds of friendship thanks to your Torah, and
    everyone else in between, as one man. If you have 10 Million Jews in the Nation, and can mobilize 10% which is a lot but if you are at home it
    may be possible, then you have 1 Million Jews under arms. Even the
    greatest Empires in the world will struggle to put 1 Million of their
    soldiers on an expeditionary rampage to your shores, and that would
    merely be a one on one fight against evil. Moralized people of Israel
    who have something to fight for, versus foreign Empires on a rampage
    whose soldiers know they are doing something wrong. Under normal
    conditions, even without any miracles, Israel should win such a war.

    The people are not mindless, not stupid, because they are not idolators.
    They are also not haters even of other people, because they live with
    the idea that there is One Creator, for all, and He gives us everything.

    Why do you not realize the obvious, Israel, how can you be so confused.
    It is a big world, and Israel in not large. Let the idolators and the
    homos go to somewhere else, if they don't want to listen. It is a big
    world, they can go all kinds of ways. Just not in the one spot, where
    the holy Nation lives. Let the crazy goyim do what they do, just stay
    strong in the truth, to have Justice and Peace. Eventually they will
    learn, or be no more. Humanity needs peace, you need peace.
