There's nothing quite like Being There to make it oh so real
As I plan the next stage of my sojourn it's like I’m reading the bible for the first time.
The Jews who left Egypt had such an incredibly difficult time.
The Hebrew Concept of God that Moses taught the Jews before they had that momentary flash of Realization at Sinai was foreign to everything about life as they knew it that.
It was WORRYLESSNESS.1
Even with wealth, food and drugs beyond measure we haven't exactly managed to free ourselves from it.
Imagine doing so as heirs to 430 years of slavery to the most powerful kingdom the world had ever know (or has ever known since).
Imagine leaving the security of that historically unparalleled Kingdom & Culture where even slaves ate meat, fish, and multiple varieties of bread… flavored with the widest variety of spices including onion and garlic… and even deserts such as watermelon and cake (all listed in the Bible and archeologically unearthed too - the word “cake” in fact remains unchanged since ancient Egyptian) for an unmapped desert lacking even in water but containing merciless bands of heartless scavanger raiders.

I wish I were confident that Israel were where I should go for Pesach. Celebrating Passover at ease in Zion would be an easy, happy pleasure.
But the scale does not yet weigh that way.
It may yet change in the next few days and that would be delightful but I see no reason to assume it.
That said, the scales currently tilt heavily against being in ancient Egypt, within meters of the great sphinx, during Passover.
The obvious solution appeared to me to be where the First Free Generation themselves rested once their Exodusing Travails were done and they had crossed the Reed Sea and were done with the ancient Egyptians for good.
But as I follow their steps, with one finger on the Bible and another on the map, I’m forced to come to terms, as a fellow human being, with just how terrible things were for that great Founding Generation.
That they did not in fact return en masse to Egypt — and thus remove Yisrael from history — is incredible.
As Passover is a week for celebration and I have no interest in celebrating where they suffered.
There is one single spot that is exceptional for its lack of troubles. Now I just need to find it.
As you likely know by now, the 119th Olam (50 year period) is coming to a close in 6 months.
I prefer not to share eschatological matters because our entire way of looking at it is wrong and I fear that my sharing dates, numbers and verses will only contribute to that with the absolutely necessary context being ignored (as either uninteresting or too demanding) exactly as the bronze Mosaic serpent ultimately contributed to superstitious idolatry and the Mishna Torah ultimately contributed to Toisfos Culture.
But it's unfair for me to keep things from those capable of understanding them correctly just because most people won't, but before I do I must (hopefully to at least SOME avail!) remind you that eschatological prophecies are a map made for us to utilize and NOT a divine vow of salvation without our own human MAKING IT HAPPEN.
That said, regarding the above I will mention only the mysterious verse Genesis 6:3 and remind you to pay attention to the (obvious) meaning of the word Adam, and the (less obvious) meaning of the word שנה.
As for the “single spot”, also mentioned in just a single mysterious verse in the Exodus narrative, I’ll point out only that exactly 70 Olams and Jubilees have passed since the First Great Redemption.
Let's see if we can locate any geographical site that matches the description. As for the “spiritual site” of that well watered field whose nourishing waters never abandon her and the Second Great Redemption, everything that I know which needs to be said is right here ⤵️
Due to the unfortunate circumstances of history that have absolutely NOTHING TO DO WITH the the actual life of Jesus or the quarrelsome pseudo-pharisees he encountered (the actual pharisaic leaders only found about him after his death and they were not in opposition to his teachings - see Josephus, Acts, Akiva Ben Yoseph, etc) it's very difficult gor me to quote from the series of books known today as “The New Testament” (a title that does nothing to solve the problem) but, as you can see in my videos and writings, every once in a while those books (specifically those desling with the actual words of Yehoshua himself) speak so clearly to the subject at hand that I’m willing to risk misunderstandings by quarrelsome fools (both “Christian” and “Jewish”) for the benefit of non-quarrelsome non-fools of the “Christian” variety who, at worst, have magical misapprehensions about Yehoshua, but at least have no deep genealogical scars regarding the history carried out in his name. To that end, see Matthew 6:25-34 for an excellent call to people just like us. The Dor Deah (“Generation Who Knew”, referring to those who were there with Moses for the Exodus and Revelation) are regularly cavalierly critiqued in Sunday Sermons for failing to “Trust God” under absolutely unimaginably terrifying circumstances, yet 2,000 years after Yehoshua softly spoke the dame message to a fat and comfortable generation mankind, including those men who read those words from the pulpit, have yet to achieve a modicum of the power of spirit and optimistic belief held by that generation which founded Yisrael.
I’m tempted to share here the video “This Rabbi’s Claim Will Shock The World”, which explains to Christians why so many Jews get queasy about Jesus and the Christian Bible and, as a follow up, the video “My Jewish Jesus” as the reason Every monotheist ought to have serious trouble with what’s (very inaccurately) presented in most of the world today as the primary message of Jesus and the Christian Bible.
But though those two videos are my two most popular videos to date, their main benefits are as feeder videos for those few individuals who already know or suspect much of the appetizers offered there and thus eagerly join us for the meal. It wouldn't surprise me if you, yes you, actually arrived here through one of those videos. So definitely feel free to share them with any community of people you think likely to include others like yourself. But what REALLY matters, and right now, is the video embedded above and the video made 3 days ago. Even if you watch the video above already, I hope that despite my many human limitations you will find it powerful and beneficial to watch it again. Perhaps even together with others.
And the new video containing the stone cold hard truths of gold plated embalmed Pharoahs under a hundred million tons of slave-carried destruction meet the divine truths of the human heart melting before the call of an orphan while reading the millenium old words of my Egyptian Mosaic forebearer taught in this very land.
