PROPHECY. We don't have prophecy in our time. Heard that before? NOT TRUE! Maybe we don't have new prophecy today, but we certainly have prophecy in our time. We've had it since Moshe was tending his father- in-law's sheep and an angel appeared to him from a bush that was burning but was not being consumed.
From the moment that G-d took over at the bush and started talking to Moshe, we've had prophecy. Throughout all of Torah and then throughout most of Tanach, we have prophecy. The Torah is the prophecy of Moshe Rabeinu and NACH is a collection of the prophecies of dozens of other prophets.
So let's talk a fresh look at the prophecy at the beginning of our sedra, Va'eira - from a different angle.
Original episode: G-d tells Moshe to go to the people of Israel and tell them - I am G-d. I will take you out of Egypt... I will take you to Me as a nation... I will bring you to the Land I promised to give to your forefathers... I will give it to you... The people were exhausted and dispirited, and they didn't listen to Moshe.
That's what happened to first time. But the Torah which G-d gave us, contains this prophecy. Which means that it was meant for us too. All we need to do is hear this prophecy and see it from a different angle.
G-d told Moshe to include in the Torah that he would write at G-d's dictation, this prophecy of Geula, so that Jews of all generations - including our generations in 5779, will not just read about something that happened a long time ago, but will hear well G-d's words through Moshe... see them from a different angle... and react to them.
G-d promised to take us out of Egypt, to save us from their labor and oppression, and redeem us.
And He did! And we are commanded to remember the Exodus all the days of our lives. And we have many mitzvot incumbent upon us that remind us of the fulfillment of the first part of the prophecy. Its first pasuk. Its first three terms.
