שמחת תורה
Two years ago, over at HorsesAss, David Goldstein chose the Sunday after Simchas Torah, the day Jews believe the Torah was given to man, to quote from the beginning of Genesis:
Genesis 2:2
By the seventh day God had finished his work, and so he rested.
God, or at least the persona “God” who posts on HA, wrote:
Today is the anniversary of when My Word was first revealed to Man .. a day Jews call “the Joy of the Word, שמחת תורה”
So why seven days?
The days, were defined by My prophets. Six ages have passed at My hand, before the seventh Day:
Day One: 30,000 years ago: a man whose name you can not know, gave you art, the ability to make art and to see art.
Day Two: 3000 years ago: Moses gave you history, art spoken as words but written as sound, a memory that persists as the Torah.
Day Three: 2500 years ago: three prophets arose, giving you the power to see Me and leaving that power to you as the written word.
Aristotle gave you logic.
Siddartha Guatama gave you practice.
Confucious gave you law.Day Four: 2000 years ago Hillel gave you the practice of ahimsa in the form of being true to yourselves. That word was written too.
Day Five: 1400 years ago Mohamed gave you the plan for rule by men under a written law he called My own.
Day Six: 300 years ago: Newton showed how experiment could come closer to Me than the words of Moses or the insights of Siddartha. Newton too wrote what of Me he had found.
many followed Newton …. Spinoza, Lavoisier, Hume, Jefferson, Marx, Einstein … and their works became word as well.
and then then I rested and the rest is written as the words of Man.
