JERUSALEM: THE FIRST WIDOW

Proverbs 15:25
The Lord will destroy the house of the proud:
But he will establish the border of the widow.


As a believer in the Creator of Heaven and earth and in His Mashiach, I have noticed that, whoever is the perpetrator of evil, the Almighty is on the side of the victim. The problem is that His version of who is the victim may be different than ours.

The civilizations of every generation seem to always be thoroughly entrenched in their own world. They sadly make all political and financial decisions according to the selfish concerns of their time. Doing so, they omit to fully weigh the consequences their actions will have on the world of their children. It is the same today as it has always been.

The Divine Author of the Holy Book knows how to get mileage out of His Words. Each Oracle from the Father deserves Pandora’s box of limitless possibilities to be opened. There is more to this proverb than a sound bite to plead the case of poor widows.

I personally like to judge the dynamics of history as per the Word of God. Our present time is witnessing the dawning of the shadows of a new age. Changes are is in the air. Economic and political realities are shifting to bring the world to its final pre-arranged state. In our times, in front of our eyes the Father, the Creator and Perpetrator of history, brings the world to labor and contractions. The proud nations of the world who have oppressed the poor for hundreds of years receive their due, while the borders of the widow are being established. The establishing of the widows though starts with the First Widow, the Widow of all Widows: Jerusalem. How doth the city sit solitary, that was full of people! How is she become as a widow! She that was great among the nations, and princess among the provinces, how is she become tributary!Lamentations 1:1
