A nation finds itself

We’ve come a long way, from inner division and turmoil.

We’ve come a long way, from enabling terrorism by giving away land.

We’ve come a long way from worrying about what the world might say (regarding our efforts to defend ourselves).

We’ve found ourselves. We’ve discovered our inner pride, might and Jewish spark.

We as a nation have found our soul. And we are marching forward, united, with strength and determination and trust in G-d.

And what’s more, the nations of the world are seeing this. They recognize, that Jews have reinforced their inner bond with one another and with G-d.

Bye bye, days of weakness. Bye bye, bowing down to foreign leaders. Farewell to the naysayers, to those who now see that we are victorious.

It’s been a long time coming. But now, the Jewish people are strong and triumphant.

As we see the miracles that have unfolded in recent days, and in recent months, we and the entire world see a Jewish nation that has woken up to its inner being.

Hezbollah is no longer a fearsome power. Hamas nears its end. Syria saw its evil regime disappear so quickly. Iran’s nuclear sites have been destroyed by U.S. bombers.

The world has newfound respect and awe for G-d’s chosen nation. It seems like there is no turning back now, as Israel proceeds from strength to strength, truly a superpower, leading and transforming the world toward peace and prosperity.

Who would have thought that this day would come? The prophets predicted it, but it always seemed so distant, so far from reality.

Yet now, it’s so real.

Moshiach seems so close.

May the ultimate Redemption come very soon.
