Israel- The Great Secret

INTRODUCTION

In the eyes of peoples and nations, and especially in the eyes of those belonging to the group of believers in the God of Abraham, Islam and Christianity, the reference to the Bible gives place to ambiguous and mixed sentiments. On one hand, they admit its authenticity and the truth of its message. On the other, their belief in the additions that they themselves have operated there, which have ended in transforming its essence so much that there is (almost) nothing recognisable left from the original, finally ended up cancelling 'de facto' its function. To such an extent that today, after the 'rectified' Message by their Prophet or Messiah, they consider it rather like an archaeological artefact, beautiful and poetical indeed, but lacking in all meaning and 'modern' significance.

From the viewpoint of the people of Israel too, the identification to the Bible is somewhat ambivalent. The part of the people that has clung by its teeth and nails to its values and 'original' traditions throughout the Exile's millennia, refers to it with the seriousness, the fidelity and the confidence that we know. However, even here exists a problem of comprehension of the divine finality and our integration to this Great Plan. For example: the impassioned and concession lacking debate opposing the so_called 'religious' Zionists to the 'religious' anti_Zionists.

But the great problem comes in fact from the part of the people that has got rid, more or less, of the 'yoke of the Commandments'. Their relations to the Bible pass by a wide range of sensitivities: from a 'reference' similar to that of just a historical chronicle more or less exact and precise, up to the categorical negation of any intrinsic value to be reckoned in it, from the historical 'tales' to the 'Commandments' found related there. In fact, it is as if the Bible was only considered as an 'archaeological' vestige, not different from the ancient Hindu, Greek or Roman mythologies. And the conclusion is evident: those who identify with it nowadays cannot be 'valued' more than the idol worshippers of the antiquity and are to be considered just as some kind of 'dinosaurs', anachronistic survivors of the antique world... or as ingenuous innocents and silly chaps ready to believe in all and sundry, who therefore do not have a place in the modern, scientific and 'progressive' world of today.

In fact, this attitude of parti_pris is not Jewish intrinsically, but has only been adopted (and with how much vigour!) from the other peoples, and more precisely from those who deny the very possibility, even just theoretical, of the existence of the 'divine entity' concept.

The argument of the detractors of God's existence, at least of those gifted with intelligence and 'healthy' logic, resides mainly in the fact that it would be 'impossible' to prove scientifically and without the shade of a doubt (in the mathematical sense of this word) the existence of 'God' in our physical reality. On the contrary: it would seem to be much easier to find opposite arguments!

However, on thorough consideration, we will observe that, in fact, the solution to this fundamental problem is included in the exact definition of each of its elements.

The differential characteristic of a human being is its mastery over the matter and exploitation of its characteristics through the understanding of the mutual relationships of its constituents. In fact, as for the four fundamental elements of the physical world (Energy, Matter, Evolution, Time), man has mastery only over the first three but in no way upon the concept of 'Time' which is a 'constant' in physics.

On the scale of the short_term, man can believe he has some mastery over 'his' time, to enjoy a certain amount of freedom of action. However this is just illusion because, fundamentally, his 'freedom' and his 'mastery' over the time are not in any way superior to those of the other creatures living on this earth. Man is incapable of anticipating with certainty what he will do, not even five minutes after having read this sentence, certainly not five years or fifty years on. He has no real control over the sequence of events along the axis of time.

And certainly, on the scale of the long_term (tens, hundreds and even thousands of years), no human being possesses in reality any 'patent invention' enabling him to anticipate with accuracy the date or circumstances of a precise human event. That event is in fact the consequence of an astronomical number of actions, more or less punctual, of many individuals and groups, displayed along the axis of time well beyond the limits of the apprentice prophet's own life.

Therefore, in order to show with certainty the existence of God in this concrete world, more precisely in order to prove it in a positive way and not by the absurd, thus avoiding leaving room for any doubt, it is indispensable to prove that such a long_term prediction of human events (collective or even individual) has indeed taken place and been fulfilled with accuracy and precision throughout the axis of time.

It is only then, with the proof of the existence of such an 'Entity', capable of mastering the time, that one will be allowed to call it 'God'. This is exactly where the raison d'être of this work lays.

However, before getting to the very heart of the matter, let's add some further details on the methodology we chose.

In order for the reader to feel the power and the extraordinary harmony hidden in the Bible, instead of adopting an orderly and complete description of each subject in this work as in a professorial lecture, I have preferred a truer and more alive approach that is more 'real', a style that invites the reader to concentrate and to put his own logic to work with impartialness and 'fair_play', side by side with the author, throughout the deductions, researches and discoveries that follow.

This is a method that one 'lives' out in the same way as an archaeologist who, after having made a first find on a virgin site, starts to dig it out and to reflect on the meaning of each detail in order to discover its characteristics and secrets and to deduce the place for his next investigations and hope of discoveries. And so, bit by bit, he ends up not only revealing the building itself, but also, what is far more important, discovering and understanding all the details of the 'plan' and the level of knowledge and intelligence that were invested there, without which the 'building' would have never seen daylight.

This way, well beyond all the sterile and tendentious controversies on the subject, the reader will realise by himself, at the end of this 'excavation campaign', the deep meaning and the intrinsic value of the Bible that he holds in his hands. And he will then be in a position to draw his own conclusions without the assistance of any intermediary or other tendentious counsellors from the outside, solely based upon the authentic and real data, the conclusions that his own wisdom and intellectual honesty will make him reach at that stage.
