"But the L-RD of Hosts, Him you shall honor as holy. Let Him be your
fear, and let Him be your dread. And He will become a sanctuary and a
stone of offense and a rock of stumbling to both houses of Israel, a
trap and a snare to the inhabitants of Yerushalayim. And many shall
stumble on it. They shall fall and be broken; they shall be snared and
taken. Bind up the testimony; seal the teaching among my disciples. I
will wait for the L-RD, Who is hiding His Face from
the house of Yakov, and I will hope in Him." ~ Isaiah 8:13-17
Isaiah revealed that Adonai would become a sanctuary to some of
Israel, and a stone of offense to others. Is that not perfectly clear - and clearly seen today? This is the plan of G-d. It
is glorious, but sometimes difficult for us to understand. The struggle does not
belong to us. It is His alone - and He alone will triumph. B"H!
