“He had told you. O man,
what is good and what HASHEM seeks for you; only the performance of justice,
the love of kindness, and walking humbly with your GD.
King of Moab, Balak saw what the Israelites did to the
Amorites and was afraid
He sent for Balaam, Prophet of the Nations, to curse them
and make them fade.
Gd said to him, “You shall not curse the people for it is
blessed.”
Balak saw Balaam cursed him instead.
“Those who bless him are blessed,
Those who curse him are accursed.”
The Prophet of Nations, Balaam saw even the donkey hawed
He was halted by the angel with a sword.
Would the blessed nation be lost by falling to sin
Would they be cursed by seducing their leaders to violate
His din.
Wicked people start out in a blaze of glory
But get more evil and end their story
Righteous begin with hardships
In the end they will overcome by worship.
Israel is like a lion amidst flocks of sheep
When they are righteous The Protector doesn’t sleep
When they are unjust the Lord is unkind.
Remember, justice, kindness, humility keep enemies
behind.
“Those who are with HASHEM are blessed,
Those who leave the derech are accursed.”
It’s all a matter of mathematics of One or Zero.
Anything multiplied by
zero nothing is zero.
One is the number for survival.
One is HASHEM.
Yud times Yud is the hand
of HASHEM.
Yosef united his brothers
and became ambassador of the whole world.
Moshe united the Jews with
the Torah and liberty was unfurled.
Avraham chose HASHEM and
not the evil of the multitudes
it is time to reject
nations that challenge the natural growth of the Jews with their negating
attitudes
Learn from Balak and Balaam,
David’s tehillim and keep calm
Heaven above only goodness loves
When He is our beloved, peace He bestows.
