When the Messiah Comes"Are we looking forward to a time when all will be living in the Presence of God?" This thought seemed only logical to me. "That will happen when the Messiah comes. When the Messiah comes, the spiritual becomes revealed in the physical. Then we will see the Presence of God within every physical object," the Rabbi spoke with conviction. "And, what does the word ‘Shekinah’ derive from?" I asked him. "Residing, to reside. Shekinah is God residing together with his people." "This Presence, when people are sitting together reading the Torah or doing a holy act, does the Presence occur within them, or does everyone in the room feel it?" "That depends," he said. "It depends on their sensitivity. For instance, you can be willing to give somebody something but they may not be able to accept it. God is present but not all may be sensitive enough to feel the Divine Presence. |
