It's like the final step into the
promise, always is going to look the
most impossible. And just when they're
about to enter into the land, Hashem
says, "All right,
straight ahead through the raging
river."
And just maybe that's how destiny works.
It's like the priests had to step into
the water before it split, not after.
And which means that the miracle it it
didn't remove the risk. It was
responding to us taking the risk in
faith. And sometimes you can look at
Israel's situation and think, "This
country is up against impossible odds."
Because maybe the impossible step isn't
proof that you're in the wrong place.
It's actually the clearest sign that
you're standing exactly where history
wants you, where heaven wants you. The
Kohanim, the priests of Israel carrying
the Ark of the Covenant, are instructed
to walk straight into the floodwaters.
Not to wait for the miracle. They need
to step forward first in ultimate trust,
as you said Jeremy, and walk right into
the raging waters.
Step into that river that could sweep
you away. Step into uncertainty, into
danger.
Vahaya Kenoach Kaputra Glea Kohanim, as
soon as the souls of the priests' feet
touched the water, only then the river
splits. The miracle did not precede the
step of faith. The miracle followed it.
It demands transformation. The time had
come and there were Jews in the nation
who rose up and aligned their will with
his will, stepping into seemingly
impossible waters, draining swamps,
planting vineyards, building kibbutzim,
reviving the Hebrew language, all while
defending these fragile borders against
the Fedayeen, against terrorists,
against marauders, and just overwhelming
odds. The waters of impossibility parted
only after their feet stepped forward in
faith. We are crossing a Jordan our
ancestors dreamed of but never lived to
see. What has changed is that we are the
generation being called to step forward.
>> like constant supernatural displays, but
just a steady awareness that God is
making a way even when we can't see it.
>> The water split for those willing to
step forward.
