More at https://www.philosophytalk.org/shows/philosophical-worlds-borges. Argentinian writer Jorge Luís Borges wrote some of the world's most brilliant, mind-bending, and philosophical stories. Drawing on sources from Europe, India, China, and Persia, these stories tackled topics like time, reality, selfhood, and art. Yet Borges also said "I don't think ideas are important." So what can we get out of philosophical stories that don't try to teach us what to think? And how can Borges help us grapple with our mortality, our confusion, our doubts?

fWotD Episode 2838: Siege of Baghdad Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia’s finest articles.The featured article for Monday, 10 February 2025 is Siege of Baghdad.The siege of Baghdad took place in early 1258 at Baghdad, the historic capital of the Abbasid Caliphate. After a series of provocations from its ruler, Caliph al-Musta'sim, a large army under Hulegu, a prince of the Mongol Empire, attacked the city. Within a few weeks, Baghdad fell and was sacked by the Mongol army—al-Musta'sim was killed alongside hundreds of thousands of his subjects. The city's fall has traditionally been seen as marking the end of the Islamic Golden Age; in reality, its ramifications are uncertain.After the accession of his brother Möngke Khan to the Mongol throne in 1251, Hulegu, a grandson of Genghis Khan, was dispatched westwards to Persia to secure the region. His massive army of over 138,000 men took years to reach the region but then quickly attacked and overpowered the Nizari Ismaili Assassins in 1256. The Mongols had expected al-Musta'sim to provide reinforcements for their army—the Caliph's failure to do so, combined with his arrogance in negotiations, convinced Hulegu to overthrow him in late 1257. Invading Mesopotamia from all sides, the Mongol army soon approached Baghdad, routing a sortie on 17 January 1258 by flooding their camp. They then invested Baghdad, which was left with around 30,000 troops.The assault began at the end of January. Mongol siege engines breached Baghdad's fortifications within a couple of days, and Hulegu's highly-trained troops controlled the eastern wall by 4 February. The increasingly desperate al-Musta'sim frantically tried to negotiate, but Hulegu was intent on total victory, even killing soldiers who attempted to surrender. The Caliph eventually surrendered the city on 10 February, and the Mongols began looting three days later. The total number of people who died is unknown, as it was likely increased by subsequent epidemics; Hulegu later estimated the total at around 200,000. After calling an amnesty for the pillaging on 20 February, Hulegu executed the caliph. In contrast to the exaggerations of later Muslim historians, Baghdad prospered under Hulegu's Ilkhanate, although it did decline in comparison to the new capital, Tabriz.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:30 UTC on Monday, 10 February 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Siege of Baghdad on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Justin.

TAROT "Breve Historia"

HISTORIA DEL TAROT La historia del Tarot se remonta a las primeras décadas del siglo XIII cuando los mercaderes del Mediterráneo recorrían la extensa Ruta de la Seda por China, Persia y África, trayendo entre sus pertenencias el primer mazo de cartas conocido en Occidente, llamado Mamluk. Su origen era islámico y estaba organizado en cuatro palos. Durante el siglo XV, en Europa, a los naipes se incorporó un quinto palo: los triunfos, que eran cartas con dibujos de flores o escenas variadas que resultaban superiores a las de los palos ordinarios. Sus figuras eran casi las mismas que en la actualidad conocemos como los 22 arcanos mayores del Tarot. Con la incorporación de los triunfos nació un nuevo juego llamado Tarocco o Tarocchien Italia, Tarock en Alemania y Tarot en Francia. El primer mazo completo del que se tiene registro es el bellísimo y lujoso Tarot de Visconti-Sforza, hecho a mano alrededor del 1440 por encargo del Duque de Milán, donde ya aparecían figuras emblemáticas como La Emperatriz, El Colgado o El Mago y casi todas las demás que componen hoy los arcanos mayores, con una salvedad: La Torre y El Diablo. No se sabe a ciencia cierta si faltan porque se perdieron o todavía no formaban parte del juego. A FINES DE ESTE SIGLO el mazo ya estaba organizado en 78 cartas: 22 triunfos numerados del 1 al 21, más El Loco, la carta que no tiene número (algunas versiones le ponen 0), y 56 cartas divididas en 4 palos: Oros, Bastos, Espadas y Copas que van del 1 al 10, más sus correspondientes figuras (Rey, Reina, Caballero y Paje); y empezó a tener otro uso: el adivinatorio. ARCANOS MAYORES Y MENORES Aunque los 22 arcanos mayores tienen enorme fuerza simbólica, también se deben tener en cuenta a los 56 arcanos menores para consultar o estudiar el Tarot. EL JUEGO DE CARTAS MÁS ANTIGUA DEL TAROT Las cartas de tarot más antiguas que sobreviven son las del llamado Tarot Cary-Yale (o Tarot Visconti-Modrone), que fue creado en 1442-1447 por el pintor Bonifacio Bembo para los Visconti-Sforza, la familia dominante de Milán EL SECRETO DEL TAROT DE MARSELLA A principios del siglo XX, en excavaciones realizadas en un pozo del Castillo Sforza en Milán, se encontraron cartas del siglo XV con el típico diseño del Tarot marsellés. Esto reforzó la vieja teoría de que el Tarot, el primero y verdadero, nació en Marsella. En 1998, el escritor y cineasta chileno Alejandro Jodorowsky y el maestro en cartas Philippe Camoin de la antigua Casa Camoin de Marsella, han reconstruido el Tarot de Marsella con antiguas barajas y los moldes originales detalles olvidados y colores esotéricos.

Before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. — Revelation 7:9 God gave the apostle John a magnificent vision of a diverse multitude—people from every part of the human family—forming a great chorus worshiping the Lord and proclaiming his victory over evil. This vision portrays what believers in Christ have been laboring and praying for through the centuries. The goal of God's mission in Christ is that people from all over the earth will receive his salvation and worship him. But this great chorus is not yet complete. Not all of God's people are gathered in; many are missing. There are still language groups and people groups that have no followers of Jesus. The original Greek word used for “nation” in the New Testament is ethnos, from which our word “ethnic” comes. Sometimes ethnos refers to major countries in Bible times, like Egypt, Syria, and Persia. Sometimes it is translated as “Gentiles,” referring to non-Jewish groups of people. And sometimes ethnos refers to smaller cultural and linguistic groups. One country can include many such groups. So even though there are Christians in every country on earth today, there are still many people and language groups that have no Christians. As Jesus' followers, we need to bring the gospel (the good news of Jesus) to them. What role does God want you to play in this task? Use me, Lord, in your great mission to bring people from every group on earth into your family. In Jesus, Amen.

We have all faced projects that were larger than we could handle on our own. That was the case for Nehemiah. He had relocated from Persia to Jerusalem because God had put it in his heart to rebuild the walls around the city of Jerusalem. It was a massive undertaking! The walls had been lying in ruin for over one hundred and forty years. After Nehemiah had surveyed the situation and made plans, he called the people together to share this mammoth vision with them. He testified of God's faithful hand of blessing on him and how King Artaxerxes had given him the commission, time, passports and resources. The response of the people was the same and Nehemiah's call to them, “Let us rise up and build.” Today, we will see what happens with God's people team together in the work of the Lord.

Putting On Your Glasses, Getting On Your Knees - #9930

A Word With You

OK, so I fought it for a while, and I lived in denial for a while. I finally broke down and got glasses - mostly for reading. I had been the 20/20 kid my whole life. I just couldn't face the fact that the world was getting blurrier and blurrier. I just thought my arms were getting shorter. Suddenly I couldn't hold my reading material far enough from my eyes to make things stop blurring. So, hello, glasses! And what a difference! All those little words that were "fuzzing" out on me suddenly look big and clear, including what I'm looking at right now! It's amazing how clear things start to look when you're seeing them through corrective glasses! I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about "Putting On Your Glasses, Getting On Your Knees." Our word for today from the Word of God comes from Nehemiah 1. Actually, I thought this said Jeremiah before I put my glasses on. Great prayer here that God was so impressed with that He put it in the Bible. And it's a real-life model of what the ultimate purpose of prayer is. Obviously, our purpose is to get whatever we're praying about. But God's purpose is to give us His glasses. Nehemiah has a heavy burden on his heart. It's the news that God's people and God's city are a mess, and it drives him to his knees for weeks of praying about it. I don't know what's weighing heavily on your heart right now, but I hope it's driven you to your knees. Maybe like Nehemiah, you feel powerless to solve this one. Then you'll be interested in how he ends up praying after initially focusing on the situation. Praying about the situation changes how he looks at almost everything. After heavy duty praying, he's seeing things much more clearly through God's glasses. And that's what the ultimate purpose of praying is; not getting an answer, but getting God's perspective - which often leads to the answer. First, he's realized again who God is. He says, "O Lord, God of heaven, the great and awesome God, who keeps his covenant of love." Notice, he's not talking about the great and awesome problem, but the great and awesome God. He's spent enough time with God on this that his vision is clear. He's not overwhelmed by the situation anymore; he's overwhelmed by God - a God who is totally in charge...a God who always keeps His promises. Then, he clearly sees who he is. Three times in this prayer he refers to himself as "Your servant." Now Nehemiah works for the most powerful man in the world - the King of Persia. But as he spends time in prayer, he remembers that he reports to the King of the universe. As you pray, you should see yourself more clearly - not as the victim or the problem-solver in the situation. You're just God's servant, playing whatever position He asks you to play in this situation; living, like a servant, with no agenda but your Master's agenda for each new day. Faithful praying over a situation will give you a clear vision of who those folks around you are, too. "They are your servants and your people whom you redeemed." Nehemiah prayed. The believers around you are not your competitors or your problems. They're God's people purchased with the blood of God's Son. You'll treat them differently if you get God's glasses and remember who they are. That happens while you pray. Prayer glasses will also show you what the real issue is. In the situation that burdened Nehemiah, he reached this conclusion: "I confess the sins we Israelites, including myself, have committed against you." As he prayed, God gave him the insight to see beyond the initial situation he was praying about to the sin that was causing the situation. Finally, he prays that God will, "give your servant success today by granting him favor in the presence of this man." This man was the king he worked for! But praying showed Nehemiah what his next step needed to be. It's that burden on your heart that gets you to praying. But if you'll persist before God, you'll notice your vision starting to clear up. The Divine Ophthalmologist will be giving you glasses to see Him, and yourself, and the people around you, and the real issues, and your next step as you've never seen them before. When you go to your knees, you get God's glasses. And suddenly, things look so much clearer!

Ever feel like your prayers are hitting a wall or like they go unanswered? What's really going on? Let's dive into why some prayers seem unanswered. How can we tune into God's will? EASY TO GIVE at Harmony, text any amount to (859) 459-0316 to get started (or give online @ my.harmonychurch.cc/give). OPENING ILLUSTRATION: I was telling my son the other day that when I was in high school I had gone on this trip and was staying in a hotel room with one of my best friends - we were seniors, and this freshman kid we didn't know very well.  I came back from breakfast and went into the bathroom to use the bathroom and saw that the toilet was really clogged.  I asked the two guys who did it and both of them denied it.  My friend, who I trusted was like, “There was no way I did that… it's disgusting”  The freshman was like, “Well, it wasn't me…” so, I did what any senior in a position like that would do, I believed my buddy and told the freshman he had to go down to the front desk and tell them what he'd done and get someone to come un clog the toilet…  this poor kid was like, “really,” I was like, “if you do the crime, you have to do the time!”  lol.  He left and went downstairs.  I turned to my buddy and I was like, “Man, I can't believe that kid wouldn't just admit he did it…”  That's when I realized I'd made a critical error, my buddy with an evil grin looked at me and said, “That's because he didn't!”   I was so mad at him, he had totally let me blame this kid - and shame this kid for something he didn't do… You ever experienced that - taken the fall for something you didn't do? WE: Maybe at work, your boss made it out like her idea that failed was actually your idea and you just had to go along with it? Anyone who has an older sibling has been blamed for something that kid did -when I was like 8 I scratched a big “K” into the inside of my closet door - my younger sister later moved into that room - Katie, and guess who got blamed for it… lol -Or maybe your kids blame you for everything that went wrong in their life as though they had no part in the direction their life took We all know what it's like to be blamed for something we didn't do… but get this, so does God… See, one of the most common reasons I hear for people walking away from God has to do with them believing God did something He didn't do… I don't know how many people I've met who walked away from God because of unanswered prayers… b Sickness that wasn't healed, loss that wasn't avoided, pain & suffering that was not removed… b The underlying theology is: “A Good God would have done something about __________ for me…  He'd have answered my prayers” I know that's not the only reason, but let's assume it's a major one Why is it that some prayers seem to go unanswered? b Is it that just God isn't good? or is something else going on? 3 of the top reasons prayers go unanswered The reasons I'm about to share with you are not mutually exclusive The first reason prayers go unanswered: You're experiencing spiritual warfare and you don't know it… My experience is the average person has not spent a lot of time thinking about how the spiritual realm works in Modern America… ILLUSTRATION: It's kind of like when you were a kid and your parents would say “Just wait till your an adult, it's so much harder than you know - you have it easy right now.” That kid can't understand because they've never lived in the adult world. Most Christians don't take much time to live in the spiritual and think about it…. Let me show you something that took place in the book of Daniel, it gives us a sneak peak behind the curtain of the spiritual… Daniel was in a rough spot and had been praying to God and gotten no response… Listen to the response he ends up getting - this is an angel speaking to Daniel: Dan 10:12-14 12 Then he continued, “Do not be afraid, Daniel. Since the first day that you set your mind to gain understanding and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come in response to them. 13 But the prince of the Persian kingdom resisted me twenty-one days. Then Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, because I was detained there with the king of Persia. 14 Now I have come to explain to you what will happen to your people in the future, for the vision concerns a time yet to come.” The answer to Daniel's prayer was delayed 21 Days because the Angel in charge of delivering the message was in a battle with an evil spirit.   b Sometimes what you are experiencing as God being silent or not answering is a direct result of God letting the battle for good and evil play out in the spiritual realm… b Sometimes the answer might be to pray for God to send more angelic forces to war for you. -Jesus says the angels of children see the face of God - we used to pray for God to send his biggest baddest angels to protect our children… Look, I know this is a more robust picture of the spiritual realm than most of you have probably been willing to step into, but it is very clearly what Paul is asking people to step into when he says: Ephesians 6:11-13a 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God Not every unanswered prayer, or silent period you experience is because God isn't working, rather it's because you are in a war with a desperate foe… The second reason prayers go unanswered: Your request isn't in the will of God James 4:2-4 2 You desire but do not have, so you kill. You covet but you cannot get what you want, so you quarrel and fight. You do not have because you do not ask God. 3 When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures. 4 You adulterous people,[a] don't you know that friendship with the world means enmity against God? Therefore, anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God. Sometimes you don't have to because you're more worried about yourself than the Kingdom of God (you say to God “my will be done”)… John actually says when we ask according to God's will, your prayers are a “yes” or at least they are heard… 1 John 5:14-15 14 This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. 15 And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him. This means you have to know and understand the will of God… “Well, how do I do that Kent?” Romans 12:1-2 Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. 2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. ILLUSTRATION: The most powerful example of this is when Jesus is in the Garden of Gethsemane - He is about to be arrested and go to the cross to be crucified - do you know what he prays? “Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me, yet not my will be done, but yours”… Can I tell you a secret - the cup is not taken from Jesus - that blows me away that Jesus' prayer is technically answered - but it's answered with a “I'm sorry son…” as a matter of fact on the cross Jesus will quote psalm 22, “my God my God, why have you forsaken me…” The third reason prayers go unanswered: You're not in the will of God Oof, that's a tough one… Some of you have treated God as though He is your magic spell book, there to use when you need Him and then put Him away on a shelf until you need Him again… I'm just here to tell you, that's not who God is… He is the one who speaks things into being that did not exist, he's the one who calls things that are not as though they are.   Jesus is not your get-out-of-jail-free card to be played whenever you desire… He is fierce and a warrior, He has been given all authority in heaven and on earth and He has already done the only one thing that can truly restore mankind - he died to rescue you and me from death, from hell, from sin, and to give us new life - to walk with Him.  He did all this to restore the broken relationship between God and man. Jesus didn't come to heal every sickness, or prevent every loss - He knew if He did that He'd have to end it all…  If He's going to stop wickedness, He needs to get rid of those who do wickedness - or He needs to infect them with a virus that will sweep through the system and write a whole new operating system into their hard drives…  And that's why He does - He comes to give new life - that's His will - not to destroy but to restore.   And so some of you are outside God's will and you're prayers are going unanswered because what He is really wanting to do is to restore you… He wants you - died for you…

Steel, Cloth & Waging the Hidden War I saw a read a missive on Substack recently by Matthew Herman Hudson that critiqued the claim that Christianity needs “less passive monks and more active knights.” To think the monk's labor is passive, a withdrawal from the struggle that defines this world, is to see with dim sight and hear with a stopped ear. Such a view shrinks the spiritual into a shallow mirror of the material. For even at the surface—the realm of flesh, stone, and letters—monks have been the lifeblood of the church since the days of Constantine. Their hands copied the scriptures, built the churches, tilled the land, and served the sick. Their words taught reformers, kings, and common folk. They crafted counterweights to pride and sloth, not in lofty disdain but in painful and deliberate denial of the very excess that tempts every human soul. And beyond this visible realm, their prayers, chants, and unbroken vigils batter the gates of heaven. Who among us, walking through modern light and noise, even fathoms what such prayers hold back or call forth? To imagine monastic work as lesser, as idle musings beside the knight's charge into battle, is to misunderstand both knight and monk. Both are bound to a fight, but one's battleground may be inward and the other outward. The monk guards the foundations of the world as the knight wields his sword for its survival. This misunderstanding, I suspect, comes from an itch born of modernity. The world, skeptical and blunt, distrusts the unseen. Machines hum; steel cuts; the airwaves tell stories of heroes whose weapons clatter in the din of war. The subtle weapons, the fasting, the kneeling, the holy words whispered in silence, appear useless. The hero of the world must spill blood to prove his worth. But have we grown so blind to old truths? The Scriptures speak plainly of the contest in heaven, of the war not against flesh and bone but against rulers, powers, and dominions unseen. Christ Himself withdrew to deserts, mountain tops, and gardens, not to shirk His call but to strengthen His heart for the final sacrifice. Did He not fast for forty days, battered by Satan's temptations, standing firm as the Adam who would not fall? And what of Paul, whose words on the “full armor of God” still rattle through the Christian soul? Truth girds the waist, righteousness shields the heart, and the sword, sharper than any iron blade, is the Word that cuts clean through falsehood. The fight we call “spiritual” is as bitter and unrelenting as the clash of armies, and if anything, its weapons bite deeper. Knights wield steel to cut down men; monks take up the cross to mortify the self. Do not mistake mortification for weakness—it takes far greater strength to defeat oneself than to kill a foe. And here, within this daily death, lies the heart of the monk's work. For in dying to pride, lust, and every grasping passion, the monk undermines the kingdom of hell. Even the ancients knew the gravity of this unseen fight. Long before Christ spoke in Judea, pagans grasped after heavenly hierarchies. The Norse sagas spoke of Asgard and Jotunheim, a layered cosmos bound by struggle. The Greeks warred their gods in stars and clouds; the Hebrews placed thrones, dominions, and seraphim at the peak of creation. And when the Son of Man walked the earth, He did not abolish such truths but fulfilled and revealed them. In His name, Gabriel still delivers messages to the lowly, and Michael still hews down the prince of Persia. This cosmos—full and flaming with meaning—is as far from our machine-built wastelands as heaven is from hell. The rise of secular power has not silenced the fight but drowned it in noise. Modern warfare no longer follows battle cries but clicks and transactions. Souls are not struck down in combat; they erode under streams of temptation, thin and ceaseless. Bread is discarded; circuses now shine on screens. The world whispers the lie that this life's struggles—our afflictions, temptations, and triumphs—are without weight, part of a meaningless drift. But the church, bound to her Bridegroom, stands against this drift. Her steeples, which once towered above every town, do not symbolize pride. They mark the upward pull of belief, the meeting point of earthly toil and heaven's calling. Every sacrament is an act of defiance—a claim that water holds rebirth, bread and wine turn flesh and blood, and words have power when spoken by authority. Each stained window, chalice, and vestment serves as a battlefield where meaning is reclaimed from chaos. Knights, monks, saints—each took their stand in different ways. In times of barbarian invasion, it was the knight's steel and flesh that shielded Christendom. In ages of spiritual decay, it was the monk's robe and ink that sustained the heart of the faith. Today's war may appear less bloody, but it is no less brutal. Our enemies are not outside the gates—they are in the walls, in the language, in the symbols twisted from their God-given roots. Against this flood, the church must hold her ground. Men look to their forefathers in this war because meaning requires anchors. Tradition gives us strength not out of nostalgia but because it is forged in the fires of centuries. The Mass does not dull the heart—it sharpens it against the world's cheap imitations of beauty. Ritual and liturgy, misunderstood as empty repetition, are in truth ancient weapons. The words of the Creed hold more power than the clamor of politics; the reading of the Scriptures breaks chains unseen. To kneel, to stand, to lift hands in the prayers of old, is to rehearse the movements of warriors in God's cause. To stand at this crossroads of belief and conflict is to recognize what is demanded of both body and spirit. We wear this armor not to triumph by our strength but by God's mercy. Ritual becomes not an adornment, but the scaffolding holding us firm against forces that grind bones to dust. And where does that leave the modern monk, the warrior in a world awash in screens and sirens? It leaves him with the same call as those before: to fight, though his battlefields are hidden and his victories unseen. His prayers build unseen citadels; his abstinence wounds the empire of the flesh. And for the knight whose heart burns with zeal to act—he, too, must be guided by the monk's hand. For God, in His wisdom, never set monk against knight or tradition against zeal. He wove them together as differing weapons in His vast arsenal. The knight, armed with sword and shield, must learn the humility to lay them down when called to prayer. And the monk, hands clasped in vigil, must trust that his brothers at the gates wield their weapons not for glory but for God. Whether in chainmail or a rough robe, on the battlefield or in the cloister, every soldier in this kingdom wages the same war. For as long as there is a heaven and an earth, a Christ and a church, there will be a fight to preserve their bond against those who seek to sever it.

Parashat VaEra- The Missing Years of the Egyptian Exile

Insight of the Week

Play Episode Listen Later Jan 23, 2025


In the opening verses of Parashat Vaera, we find Hashem's pronouncement of the "Arba Leshonot Geula" – "four expressions of redemption." He told Moshe to convey to Beneh Yisrael His promise that He will "take you from the suffering of Egypt" ("Ve'hoseti"), He will "save you from their labor" ("Ve'hisalti"), He will "redeem you with an outstretched arm" ("Ve'ga'alti"), and He will "take you to Me as a nation" ("Ve'lakahti"). The Gemara famously teaches that the four cups of wine we drink at the Seder on the night of Pesach correspond to these four promises. One of the approaches taken to explain the significance of these four expressions was presented by the Shem Mi'Shmuel (Rav Shmuel Borenstein of Sochatchov, 1855-1926), who writes that Hashem here refers to the redemptions from the subsequent exiles. Already then, during the Egyptian exile, Hashem informed Beneh Yisrael that just as He was bringing them out of this exile, and extricating them from persecution and suffering, He would also deliver them from the exiles they would endure in the future. The first of the four expressions, "Ve'hoseti," which speaks of Hashem bringing the nation out of a foreign land, alludes to the Babylonian exile, at the conclusion of which Hashem brought the Jews back from exile to the Land of Israel. The second expression foresees Hashem rescuing Beneh Yisrael from danger – "Ve'histalti," and thus refers to the rule of Persia, when Beneh Yisrael were saved from Haman's decree of annihilation. The third of the subsequent exiles was the period of Greek persecution, when Beneh Yisrael faced a grave spiritual threat, as the Greeks forbade them from practicing their religion. Hashem thus promised, "Ve'ga'alti" – that He would redeem them from this spiritual danger. Finally, Hashem promises to deliver us from our current exile, the fourth and final exile, assuring us that He would take us as His nation for all eternity ("Ve'lakahti"). The question, however, arises, why do we commemorate these four promises through the drinking of four cups on the night of Pesach, as we celebrate the Exodus from Egypt? The answer emerges from a discussion in the work Torat Haim (Rav Abraham Haim Schorr, d. 1632) regarding a different question, relating to the duration of the Egyptian exile. The Torah in Parashat Bo (Shemot 12:40) states that the Egyptian exile lasted a total of 430 years. In truth, Beneh Yisrael spent just 210 years in Egypt. Many commentators explain that the 430-year period began from the time Abraham was informed that his descendants would be enslaved. The Torat Haim, however, advances a different theory. He claims that indeed, Hashem decreed a lengthy period of suffering, but He mercifully ended the exile earlier. Tradition teaches that the period of harsh labor began at the time of the birth of Miriam, Moshe Rabbenu's sister, who was 86 at the time of the Exodus. Thus, Beneh Yisrael endured only 86 years of slave labor – one-fifth of the 430 years of slavery that were decreed upon them. The remaining four-fifths were delayed to the future. The four subsequent exiles, the Torat Haim explains, took the place of the missing years of the Egyptian exile. The amount of suffering that would have been experienced in 86 years of grueling slavery and degradation in Egypt were transferred to each of these four periods, and this is how the period of 430 years was completed. The Torat Haim explains that this is why we drink four cups of wine on Pesach night. The word "Kos" in Gematria equals 86, and thus the four cups of wine signify the redemptions from the four subsequent exiles – consistent with the Shem Mi'Shmuel's understanding of the four promises made by Hashem in our Parasha. As we celebrate the redemption from Egypt, we reflect on the fact that Hashem shortened the period of bondage in Egypt, delaying them to the future. He then delivered us from the first three of those four exiles, and we eagerly anticipate the imminent redemption from our fourth and current exile, may it unfold speedily and in our times, Amen.

 9 And when you shall hear of wars and seditions, be not terrified: these things must first come to pass; but the end is not yet presently.Cum autem audieritis praelia et seditiones, nolite terreri : oportet primum haec fieri, sed nondum statim finis.  10 Then he said to them: Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.Tunc dicebat illis : Surget gens contra gentem, et regnum adversus regnum.  11 And there shall be great earthquakes in divers places, and pestilences, and famines, and terrors from heaven; and there shall be great signs.Et terraemotus magni erunt per loca, et pestilentiae, et fames, terroresque de caelo, et signa magna erunt.  12 But before all these things, they will lay their hands upon you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and into prisons, dragging you before kings and governors, for my name's sake.Sed ante haec omnia injicient vobis manus suas, et persequentur tradentes in synagogas et custodias, trahentes ad reges et praesides propter nomen meum :  13 And it shall happen unto you for a testimony.continget autem vobis in testimonium.  14 Lay it up therefore into your hearts, not to meditate before how you shall answer:Ponite ergo in cordibus vestris non praemeditari quemadmodum respondeatis :  15 For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to resist and gainsay.ego enim dabo vobis os et sapientiam, cui non poterunt resistere et contradicere omnes adversarii vestri.  16 And you shall be betrayed by your parents and brethren, and kinsmen and friends; and some of you they will put to death.Trademini autem a parentibus, et fratribus, et cognatis, et amicis, et morte afficient ex vobis :  17 And you shall be hated by all men for my name's sake.et eritis odio omnibus propter nomen meum :  18 But a hair of your head shall not perish.et capillus de capite vestro non peribit.  19 In your patience you shall possess your souls.In patientia vestra possidebitis animas vestras. St Vincent, deacon of Saragossa in Spain, suffered martyrdom in the persecution of Diocletian A.D. 304. St Anastasius, a monk of Persia, was put to death with seventy other Christians under Chosroes A.D. 628.

Read OnlineWhen Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, in the days of King Herod, behold, magi from the east arrived in Jerusalem, saying, "Where is the newborn king of the Jews? We saw his star at its rising and have come to do him homage."   Matthew 2:1–2The Magi were most likely from Persia, modern-day Iran. They were men who regularly engaged in a study of the stars. They were not Jewish but were most likely aware of the popular belief of the Jewish people that a king would be born who would save them.These Magi were called by God to encounter the Savior of the World. Interestingly, God used something very familiar to them as an instrument of their calling: the stars. It was among their belief that when someone of great importance was born, this birth was accompanied by a new star. So when they saw this new, bright and brilliant star, they were filled with curiosity and hope. One of the most significant aspects of this story is that they responded. God called them through the use of a star, and they chose to follow this sign, embarking on a long and arduous journey.God often uses those things most familiar to us that are part of our daily life to send forth His calling. Recall, for example, that many of the Apostles were fishermen, and Jesus used their occupation to call them, making them “fishers of men.” He especially used the miraculous catch of fish to clearly indicate to them that they had a new calling.In our own lives, God is constantly calling us to seek Him out and worship Him. He will often use some of the most ordinary parts of our lives to send forth that calling. How is He calling you? In what way is He sending you a star to follow? Many times when God speaks, we ignore His voice. We must learn from these Magi and diligently respond when He calls. We must not hesitate and must seek to daily be attentive to the ways that God invites us to deeper trust, surrender and worship.Reflect, today, upon God's call in your life. Are you listening? Are you responding? Are you ready and willing to abandon all else in life so as to serve His holy will? Seek Him, wait on Him and respond. Doing so will be the best decision you ever make.Lord, I love You and pray that I will be open to Your guiding hand in my life. May I always be attentive to the countless ways that You call to me each and every day. And may I always respond to You with all my heart. Jesus, I trust in You.Source of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2024 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved. Used with permission via RSS feed.Featured image above: via flickr
