Blind ex-slaves

"Are we repeating history?"

Of course we are repeating it! If you read carefully the Torah you will notice that during, and after the greatest Miracles of redemption, many of those redeemed but shortsighted and unbelieving ex-slaves were unable to lift themselves to the greatness of the moment, and instead of grabbing and grasping it with thanks and praise to the Savior Almighty, they systematically failed and stumbled over every possible and impossible block.

Unfortunately today, very similar things are happening with us also. The lack of vision, the "flesh eyes", is blinding many of our people who fall prey to their skepticism and blindness. Is it possible that you are among them?
