Greater Miracles

There will come a time, very soon, when we will be shown miracles so great, they will make the Ten Plagues and the splitting of the Red Sea appear as ordinary as nature itself.

So great, no mind can begin to fathom them;
so powerful, they will transform the very fabric of our world, elevating it in a way that the wonders of the Exodus could not achieve.
For then, our eyes will be opened and granted the power to see the greatest of miracles.

And what are those miracles?

Those that occur to us now, beneath our very noses, every day.

Maamar Kimei Tzeit’cha 5712.

GM!🌻"We" are the greatest miracle inhabiting the Universe, in the Milky Way Galaxy, on the blue planet called earth, a Royal Priesthood of HaShem! FOCUS! What did Abraham Aveinu do when he was told Sodom and Gomorrah was going to be destroyed because of their sin? He NEGOTIATED for the "RIGHTEOUS" that may have been living in those cities! Who was saved? His nephew Lot, and his family minus one, the "unbeliever," his wife. Do We KNOW what "Time" it is, and our purpose as Servants of HaShem? It's in the Tanakh! We must FOCUS: Read the Tanakh, do Mitzvahs, Pray, Teach, Train, and thank GD for our miracles small and great, seen and unseen. We must trust GD's Absolute Power and Sovereignty.

Baruch HaShem,
🕊💜
We are living at this "time" for a reason. Reply

Harder to open our eyes and see miracles “under our noses” in this world plagued with illness and evil and discourse. Now is the time for the greater miracles to be shown because it is getting scarier and darker every day. Reply

Most of these comments refer to great miracles (over which the wonder is still taken as being great) , alhough the above picture is about the samll ones. This implies that many of these comments oppose the maamar.

However, a small one did actually happened to me, and it was indeed a source of great wonder too! Reply

Greatest Miracle The greatest miracle for humanity will be peace between us.
Peace will require that we all overcome our egoistic, nature in order to form positive relationships between us, between nations.
Peace requires us to clothe in the qualities of G_dliness.
Only G_d can reform our qualities so that He is able to arrange us in His form
- the structure composed of His attributes, the Ten Sefirot. Then all our qualities merge to create a harmonious whole system enlivened by His Light flowing between us.

First, the world has to recognize how divisive, cruel and self-serving our nature is.
Next we need a desire to exit this nature.
Then as this desire is awakened is us G_d's light will work with us to complete those good connections between us for eternal peace. This is the Miracle that takes us to the next level of life.
It is a Miracle because we need the Mastermind to upgrade our minds. Reply

Peace between us. What a miracle!

When the prophet Zechariah tells us that one day the nations will come up to Jerusalem to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles.

The greatest miracle of E-Pluribus-Unum The irony is that this miracle - effectively of e-pluribus-unum (which considering historical savagery - world-wars - holy-wars) and living in a time, in which both a global universalism, coupled with an individualistic spiritual journey (hence creating not only a general feeling of identification, but as the spirit becomes your identity - hence identifying with the millions/billions of like-minded seekers) thus setting the infinite stage Reply

Jerusalem Within Our Heart When the prophet tells us "for My House will be called the house of prayer for all nations", he refers to the Third Temple.
'Temple' in Hebrew is a 'house'.
'House' is the code for the 'heart'.
The spiritual Jerusalem is the connection of all our hearts so that we become as one man in one heart.

This 'house' within us is built according to a predetermined order and specifications:
First those souls that had attained the spiritual state during the time of the First and Second Temples, will be awakened to initiate the building of these holy connections within the hearts.
Then this group will be as a light unto the nations of the world who will join their hearts to feel the revelation of G_dliness that dwells between all. Eternal peace, perfection and wholeness.

Only after the Jerusalem 'above', meaning in our heart has been built, the building of the Third Temple will materialize below.
Hoping we can reach such a state within this time. Reply

The Heart of the Miracle The current world crisis has arisen because the Creator has forced us into a global world. We need to form positive relationships between all in this global network in order for our interdependence to avoid chaos and conflict. Our egoistic nature does not allow us to achieve this. We feel the divisiveness, hatred and exploitation. Unless we interact co-operatively as a system must function, we shall all suffer the horrific consequences.

This global network is the Signal that those who carry the spiritual memory of the unique remedy of connection, attained during the time of the First, Second Temples, must initiate the re-building of the state achieved during the receiving of the Torah. To be as 'one man in one heart', all yearn for that holy connection of love. This oneness of heart evokes His Light to make us one system. Out of the many emerges one spiritual system.

Thank You Rebbe! The Rebbe speaks loud and clear, always with a spirit of Anticipation and Expectation. In studying his leadership he has taught me to study Torah with all of ones heart and to look expecting to see.

Every day miracles... Every day miracles, that occur to us now, and we do not realize they occur. I've learned something here about Tzimtzum, but my point is not to talk about something the Sages instruct us. However, the moment we realize those miracles would be like watching a part of God and we have been promised that will occur when the Moshiach comes. All we can do is to accelerate the coming through Torah study and Mitzvot, but... Although this can be said very easily it's not so easy to perform. Reply

Greatest Miracle The Greatest Miracle will be the gradual closing of the large gap between our corrupted qualities and that of His divine Qualities!

The time for this correction has arrived - let us lead the way by aspiring to His qualities instead of having to receive bursts of reminder by suffering. Reply

Greater Miracles It is so true Rabbi Freeman, Hashem, blessed be He, has shown me, through large, and small, miracles His presence and powerful might. Jus now I had an experience which showed me how close He is when we call upon Him. Every day I see His Glory. Therefore, I must give testimony of how merciful and kind is our King of King, and L-rd of L-rd. I am totally overwhelmed!! All we need is to trust Him. He is not far from us, as a matter of fact, He is very close. Mashiach is coming soon. These are not just miracle from a picture of our imagination, He is with us, and He, blessed be He, is trying to let us know that our redemption is near. More than we can imagine. Trust!!! Reply

Astonishing! I don't know about great miracles, parting seas, crossing desserts, but yet I see in my own life things that seem to have profound reasoning, although I do not comprehend this reasoning. So when my Jewish friend, says, Gd is with you, and I question what he means, and he says Gd knows where you are, this raises my inquisitiveness. I need to learn about this Gd. I am camping in a tent for several years living in retreat, which seems like a punishment to me, but then I remember reading that Moses lives many years in a tent, his sukkot. So does Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. But, why me? Reply

The Miracle to perceive Reality The world is in the grasp of many 'plagues' - crises that cause it to deteriorate, accelerate. These crises and pesonal crises will eventully force us to move in a new direction - and cross the 'Red Sea' - the barrier that bounds us to ourself. Then we will advance together in a spiritual direction, instead of chasing after our illusionary pleasures.
Miraculously our eyes will gradually be opened to access the True Reality. Reply

Mr. Jorge Munuzuri April 10, 2012

The importance of miracles. The importance of miracles is that once one can give testimony of one there is no doubt that G-d's presence has been revealed to the witness.
However G-d goes beyond miracles if one is in trouble G-d's closeness is best way to get rid of it. Once one is on the verge of death, we have to set our minds in G-d, like those who were about to cross the sea of reeds, so that our souls get peace.
And I say more: G-d is able to keep us at peace with our mortality. Reply

Posted By Anonymous, Camarillo, CA you may be right; that all these things could be considered acts of nature. what you fail to realize is that acts of nature, that occur in the order and time that it is needed is a re-direction of nature and only Hashem can do that. that's when mere nature becomes a miracle!

The Miracle of The Messiah When I think about the coming of the Messiah and that this person will be someone that all the world will accept as the Messiah- Jews, Christians and Muslims, and everyone else, it seems impossible. That will be a huge miracle. Reply

Rabbi Tzvi Freeman May 4, 2011

Re: They already "appear as ordinary as nature its You are correct that the Torah refers to a Sea of Reeds, and not the Red Sea.

On your other point, however, I must take issue. It's very difficult to see how a natural wind could life the water to stand "as a wall" both "to their right and to their left" and allow the Children of Israel to walk across "on dry land" as the Torah describes. It's also difficult to imagine "horse and rider thrown into the sea" if all we are talking about is a muddy passage through a shallow pond.

What, then, was the necessity of the "eastern wind" that blew that night? Many commentaries answer that this was in order to fool the Egyptian army, that they might run in after us. Perhaps it was also to permit even those who cannot accept G-d's dominion over natural law to nevertheless accept the narrative of liberation and the forming of our people. Reply

Anonymous Camarillo, CA April 27, 2011

They already "appear as ordinary as nature itself" The splitting of the "Red Sea", salt water between southern Egypt and Saudi Arabia, is not mentioned in the Torah.

The Torah refers to the splitting of the "sea of reeds", fresh water between northern Egypt and Mt. Sinai, and says that it did appear as ordinary as nature itself. It describes a strong wind slowly blowing back the water. Nothing is more "ordinary as nature itself" than wind.

Most of the plagues seem even more ordinary, in that they are the ordinary and natural results of each other. For example, once the Nile turned from clean water to something red, it was as ordinary as nature itself that the frogs living in the Nile would soon try to leave it (because it became toxic to them). Once the cattle died, it was as ordinary as nature itself that their decomposing carcasses would attract flies, because that is what rotten meat ordinarily and naturally does. It would be a miracle if these ordinary and natural results did not occur. Reply
