Acts of justice are precious in the eyes of the Lord. The idea that man was created in His image and likeness was interpreted not as an analogy of being, but as an analogy of doing. Man is called to act in the likeness of God "Be merciful as He is merciful."
The meaning of being created in God's image is hidden in an enigma. But perhaps we can assume that the intention was that men were the witnesses of God, his symbol. When we looked at the man, we should feel his presence. But instead of living as a witness, the man was an impostor, instead of being a symbol, He became an idol. In presumption angry, he developed a false sense of sovereignty that fills the world with terror.
We are proud of the wonders of our technological civilization. But our pride can lead to our ultimate humiliation. The pride in maintaining that "my might, and the strength of my hand I purchased these assets." (Deuteronomy 8.17), will lead us to say "our god" to the work of our hands (Hosea 14.4).
fear when we think that our civilization is an evil force that tries to take revenge on God
After the man ate the forbidden fruit, the Lord of Heaven expelled to cultivate the land which was extracted. But what did the man who is sweeter than any other creation of God? Undertook the construction of a paradise through their own power and that Paradise is expelling God. During many generations, things seemed to feel good. But now we discovered that our paradise is built on a volcano, you may come to be a huge field of human extermination.
This is the time to cry is a human being and shameful. We remain obliged if you give us religious people over the failure of religion to maintain the screw as the image of God before man. Let's see what is written on the wall, but we are too illiterate to understand what it means. There are no easy solutions to serious problems: all we can honestly preach a theology of despair. We halted God in our times and our slogan , and now the word of God is dying in our lips.
We have ceased to be symbols. There is darkness in the east and west presumption. And the night? And the night?
What is History? Wars, victories, and wars. Many dead. Many injuries, tears. A little resentment. Many fears.
And who could judge the victims of cruelty in the horror becomes hatred? It will be that easy to prevent the horror of captivity turns into hatred against the wicked? The world is bathed in blood and guilt is endless.
It is not lost all hope?
What saved the prophets of despair was their messianic vision and the idea of \u200b\u200bman's capacity to be sorry, what influenced their understanding of history.
History is not a dead end, and the fault is not an abyss. There is always a way by which you can leave the blame: the regret and return to God's prophet is a person who, while living in despair, has the power to transcend it. Above the dark circles of experience watching a different day.
Egypt and Assyria realized bloody wars. Being hated one another, both are enemies of Israel. Their idolatry are abominable and their terrible crimes. How do you feel Isaiah, the son of a people who appreciate the right to be called "my people" from the Lord and the "work of his hands" (Isaías 60.21), in referring to Egypt and Assyria?
In that day there will be a highway from Egypt to Assyria; el'Assiro will be in Egypt, el'Egizio in Assyria with the Assyrians and the Egyptians will serve the Lord. In that day Israel will be the third with the Egyptian and the Assyrian, and there will be a blessing in the midst of the earth. For the Lord of Hosts will bless them, saying, Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria, the work of my hands, and Israel my inheritance. Isaías 19.23-25.
Our God is the God of our enemies, not that they know him and despite defying . The enmity between the nations will become friendship. They will live together when the three are equally God's chosen people of God
(Before you criticize esplicizzati thoughts above, I recommend caution. The lack of quotation marks ("") is intentional. Not a word of what I wrote came from my pen. I copied all of Abraham Joshua Heschel, one of the most revered rabbis XXmo century, and one of Judaism's most important philosophers of the time).
Soli Deo Gloria.
