KI SISA

Shalom, Shalom. We commence our focus on the PARASHAT KI SISA by placing our ATTENTION upon the interpretation of the IVRI (Hebrew) term. The IVRI transliteration KI SISA may be interpreted as “WHEN YOU TAKE.” It is used to make reference to MOSHE REBEYNU taking a census of BENEI YISRAEL. In other words, this is the POWER to KNOW (KNOWING) instructing the KNOWER how to count the KNOWERS in his SPHERE of AUTHORITY. These instructions were necessary in order to prevent a plague among BENEI YISRAEL when counting them. Indeed HASHEM, that is, the POWER TO KNOW, when giving INSTRUCTION to those who are SUBMITTED to Him, will not reveal something that will undermine what He has PREDETERMINED.

To ensure that what HASHEM has PREDETERMINED will come to pass, he employs GEBURAH, that is, JUDGMENT. GERBURAH is HASHEM’S DETERMINATE COUNSEL that ensures that what He has DECREED will come to pass. The NAVI Daniel was given the REVELATION that the END of the OPPRESSIVE ERA experienced by those undergoing the human conscious experience would be one of JUDGMENT, its is written, “But judgment will be set, and they will take away his dominion to be annihilated and to be destroyed completely. And the kingship, the dominion and the grandeur of the kingdoms under all the heavens will be given to the holy supreme nation. It’s kingdom will be an everlasting kingdom, and all rulers will serve and obey it.” (Daniel 7:26) In this prophetic vision, it is disclosed that the end of CIVILIZATION as we KNOW IT comes as the result of JUDGMENT.

From this disclosure in light of what was revealed to MOSHE REBEYNU on the taking of a CENSUS, we are able to discern what causes the collapse of a NATION. No doubt the taking of a census by employing the method of counting each individual is forbidden because it creates a TRUST in the ARM of the FLESH rather then TRUSTING G-d. Thus it was forbidden to be the method employed by BENEI YISRAEL. This discloses that judgment will occur on the dominion and grandeur of the nations of the WORLD during end times because of a trusting in the ARM of the FLESH rather than G-d. As this is occurring, BENEI YISRAEL’S TRUST in G-d continually increases until our focus upon HIM is made MANIFEST. The MANIFESTATION THEREOF gives rise to OUR CONSCIOUS UNION with HASHEM and the unfoldment of UNLIMITED POTENTIAL becoming an ENSAMPLE to the nations of OLAM (the world), yea, it is by this that they will bless themselves in the JEWISH PEOPLE, that is, the ensample of TRUE DEVOTION.
