“IN EACH AND EVERY GENERATION THEY RISE UP AGAINST US TO DESTROY US. AND THE HOLY ONE, BLESSED BE HE, RESCUES US FROM THEIR HANDS.”
Have the nations really tried to destroy us in every generation? The following is just a sample of the atrocities committed over the centuries. Consider:

1930's-40's - Official Canadian reply to most Jewish pleas for refuge: "Unfortunately, though we greatly sympathize with your circumstance, at present you cannot be admitted. Please try some other country." Hundreds die as ships sink in harbors.
1939-45 - Six million Jews are annihilated across Europe. Babies serve as target practice, women are human guinea pigs for doctors and scientists, beards are torn from men's faces.
1948-67 - Arab nations launch attacks to annihilate the State of Israel. Fearing for their lives, Jews flee to Algeria, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Egypt.

My wife, a dietitian, tells me that the three trees Jacob used to encourage breeding among his sheep have anti-inflammatory properties, which can have a significant impact on fertility. Could this have been common knowledge at one time? Did the sticks or the stripes have any effect on the breeding of the sheep or is there some hidden message in this story? I lean in the direction of the sticks being metaphor rather than medicine, but not strongly. I'm not convinced of either explanation.

Thought for Today: Tuesday December 03
Our Elohiym is a YHVH Who heals. He heals broken hearts, broken minds, broken bodies, broken lives, and broken relationships. His very Presence has immense healing powers. You cannot live close to Him without experiencing some degree of healing. The first step in receiving healing is to live close to Him. As you grow more and more intimate with Him, He will reveal His will to you more directly. When the time is right, He will prompt you to ask for healing of the brokenness in you or in another person. The healing may be instantaneously or it may be a process, that is up to Him. Your part is to trust Him fully and to thank Him for the restoration that has begun.
