From the river to the sea

Funny you should mention it — river, sea. Both are water.

Water is a symbol of life. When they look for life on other planets they look for water as a sign of life. Water hydrates, enables things to grow, to feed us.

Water. Why would the pro-Palestinian protesters talk about water? And what is it about water that fascinates us?

Torah is compared to water — just as water flows from a high place to a low place, so too Torah comes from G-d’s wisdom and is distilled and given to us. Torah is the source of life, the blueprint of the world. It says G-d Almighty looked in the Torah and then He created the world.

So what do the pro-Hamas want with water? Simple — they want to control the sources of life; they want to bend them to their evil ideas. So it’s not just geography, that they want to rule from one water source to another. They want to control the essence of life — physical life in this world, and wage war against the Torah, the source of life and energy of this world.

But they haven’t got a chance. Because G-d Almighty promised (Psalm 89; 26) that David’s kingship will rule over the sea and the rivers. And (Psalm 72; 8 — according to commentaries) Moshiach will rule from sea to sea, and from the river until the ends of the Earth.

Meaning that G-d’s message of Torah, and the seven Noahide laws that He told Moses at Mount Sinai to tell all the nations of the world to adhere to, this will permeate and bring peace to the world from sea to sea.

The light of Torah will eradicate evil forever, so that the world can once again be peaceful, enabling nations to use the world and its life source to know G-d, as the prophet says that “the world will be filled with knowledge of G-d just as the waters cover the sea.” May we see it very soon with the final redemption with Moshiach.
