Listen "60. Outsider Messiah"
Episode Synopsis
Continuing our recitation and commentary on the book of Genesis, we point out interesting similarities between Joseph and Cyrus. When it comes to the messiah, everybody expects a homegrown King David, but such a king is never to be found because the iniquity comes from inside the group, not outside. The cancer began in Jacob when he followed the ways of the nachash, and it spread to his murderous children. For their salvation, it takes the humiliation of having their God save them via a foreign agent. Let us be attentive!Intro and outro music Copyright © Holy Transfiguration Monastery, Brookline, MA, used by permission. All rights reserved.
