August 8, 2006 - 14 Av, 5766
Biblical Faith - with Sam Peak
Weekly series with new shows available every Tuesday.
This week, two parts, 30 minutes each.
Part A
G-d’s purpose in creation was to bestow of His good to another. G-d’s Desire was that the good bestowed be the greatest good, and the greatest good is“closeness” to G-d Himself. In G-d’s Wisdom all that He created was to takepleasure from G-d’s Goodness. Yet, He decreed that for such Good to beperfect, the one enjoying it must be its master.If we understand that G-d alone is the true perfection, it follows that innature and in Creations, every fault is merely the absence of His Good andthe concealment of His Presence. From: “The Way of G-d” by Rabbi Moshe ChaimLuzzatto.
Part B
This primary, essential creature is man. All other created things, whetherabove or below man, are only for his sake, to complete his environmentthrough their various qualities, appropriately set aside for the individual.From: “The Way of G-d” by Rabbi Moshe Chaim Luzzatto.

The thoughts in Part 2 on Isaiah 11:6 are very interesting and I gleaned new insight on how the nature of animals ‘could be’ possibly changed by man getting in line with the Torah under the Mashiach’s leadership. Were animals more peaceful in Jerusalem in David’s time or how about the ‘rightous’ Kings of Judah? Makes me wonder….
