God chose a revolutionary way of &#8220;We shall destroy the old world to its very foundation&#8221; as written in \u201cThe International,\u201d the anthem of the Communist Revolution.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The result of that Revolution was not the realization of the values \u200b\u200bof justice and equality that it purported to realize, but human oppression, mass murder, and terrible suffering to hundreds of millions of people. The pretension of that Revolution, like that of other revolutions in history, i.e. to drown the existing world in a flood and establish a new Noah&#8217;s Ark from which a new world would emerge, brought many disasters.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This pretense exists to this very day, among the radical elements of various religions and ideologies. Radicalism is the desire to uproot the existing reality and create a completely new reality. Judaism rejects this pretense. Judaism paves the way \u00a0to \u201crepair the world\u201d &#8211; not to destroy what exists and to build a new world under it, but to repair the flaws that exist in the world. It is not revolution but evolution, a gradual change that takes responsibility for what exists.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the end of the flood, God says to Himself: &#8220;Never again will I doom the earth because of man\u201d (8:21). God comes to the conclusion that the way He has taken is not the proper way; there is room for a different path. The reason for this is not the illusion that after the deluge man and the world are perfected, and therefore there is no need for a flood, but on the contrary: &#8220;For the devisings of man\u2019s mind are evil from his youth&#8221; (ibid.).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Never again will I doom the earth because of man\u201d (8:21) is the most significant verse in the story of Noah. The central message is not the flood, but the covenant embodied in the rainbow, which expresses the promise that there will not be another flood. God&#8217;s lesson from the Flood is that the way to correct man and the world is not the revolutionary way of destroying the existing society and creating a new world in its place, but the long and patient path of education.<\/span><\/p>\n","image":{"ID":101938,"id":101938,"title":"-6208dac861557--6208dac861558gen6-revolution protest rebellion.png","filename":"6208dac861557-6208dac861558gen6-revolution-protest-rebellion.png.png","filesize":0,"url":"https:\/\/cetwpuploads.blob.core.windows.net\/wp929\/uploads\/2018\/07\/6208dac861557-6208dac861558gen6-revolution-protest-rebellion.png.png","link":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/en\/dont-destroy-educate\/6208dac861557-6208dac861558gen6-revolution-protest-rebellion-png\/","alt":"","author":"7","description":"","caption":"","name":"6208dac861557-6208dac861558gen6-revolution-protest-rebellion-png","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":34809,"date":"2022-02-13 10:17:44","modified":"2023-09-23 05:20:05","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/png","type":"image","subtype":"png","icon":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1280,"height":640,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/cetwpuploads.blob.core.windows.net\/wp929\/uploads\/2018\/07\/6208dac861557-6208dac861558gen6-revolution-protest-rebellion.png-150x150.png","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/cetwpuploads.blob.core.windows.net\/wp929\/uploads\/2018\/07\/6208dac861557-6208dac861558gen6-revolution-protest-rebellion.png-300x150.png","medium-width":300,"medium-height":150,"medium_large":"https:\/\/cetwpuploads.blob.core.windows.net\/wp929\/uploads\/2018\/07\/6208dac861557-6208dac861558gen6-revolution-protest-rebellion.png-768x384.png","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":384,"large":"https:\/\/cetwpuploads.blob.core.windows.net\/wp929\/uploads\/2018\/07\/6208dac861557-6208dac861558gen6-revolution-protest-rebellion.png-1024x512.png","large-width":1024,"large-height":512,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/cetwpuploads.blob.core.windows.net\/wp929\/uploads\/2018\/07\/6208dac861557-6208dac861558gen6-revolution-protest-rebellion.png.png","1536x1536-width":1280,"1536x1536-height":640,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/cetwpuploads.blob.core.windows.net\/wp929\/uploads\/2018\/07\/6208dac861557-6208dac861558gen6-revolution-protest-rebellion.png.png","2048x2048-width":1280,"2048x2048-height":640,"post_full_size":"https:\/\/cetwpuploads.blob.core.windows.net\/wp929\/uploads\/2018\/07\/6208dac861557-6208dac861558gen6-revolution-protest-rebellion.png-1200x600.png","post_full_size-width":1200,"post_full_size-height":600,"home_baner":"https:\/\/cetwpuploads.blob.core.windows.net\/wp929\/uploads\/2018\/07\/6208dac861557-6208dac861558gen6-revolution-protest-rebellion.png-840x420.png","home_baner-width":840,"home_baner-height":420}},"embedded_video":"","video_duration":"","show_fb_comments":true,"credit_media":""},"tile":{"top_caption":"","main_caption":"Don\u2019t Destroy, Educate!","main_caption_size":"1","sub_caption":"\"Destroying the old world to its foundation\" -
