"...if the daughters of Shiloh come out to dance..."

"When there is a great War in the World the potential of Mashiach is awakened. The time of song has arrived...The Evil Ones are removed from the World and it becomes stable.  And the Voice of the Turtle Dove is heard in our Land." 
-Orot on War, 1 Rav Kook

There is war in the world.  There is war within us and throughout the globe.  Ishmael and Esau stand ready to fight and we Yaakov are here, home.  We have come home after all these years, yet our House, the House G-d is still in ruins, occupied by squatters and ignored by it's rightful owners. Even that is changing for we can feel the Creator set to come home to his Children.

We pray and we yearn, but fail to see that we stand at the gate of the final stage of our Great Return.  The World is cracking and shaking and yet me should not be scared.  The statue of the nations is coming down and a new Kingdom, the Kingdom of Israel in all of it's splendor and radiance stands ready to be birthed.  We are the children of Kings and Prophets.  This is our Land and our inheritance.  We have come home never to leave again.

Tonight is Tu B'Av and while "the Building of the World cracks," (Orot of War 9, Rav Kook) we dance. The Nation rises and the supernal light held within us is set to redeem the World.  Our World is filled with trepidation and fear and yet this is just the pangs of our actualization and the realization that all is One.

The daughters of Shiloh are dancing again and the men of Binyamin have returned to their borders.  Our mother Rachel is crying her last tears as her Children have returned home.

יד  כֹּה אָמַר יְהוָה, קוֹל בְּרָמָה נִשְׁמָע נְהִי בְּכִי תַמְרוּרִים--רָחֵל, מְבַכָּה עַל-בָּנֶיהָ; מֵאֲנָה לְהִנָּחֵם עַל-בָּנֶיהָ, כִּי אֵינֶנּוּ.  {ס}	14 Thus saith the LORD: A voice is heard in Ramah, lamentation, and bitter weeping, Rachel weeping for her children; she refuseth to be comforted for her children, because they are not. {S}
טו  כֹּה אָמַר יְהוָה, מִנְעִי קוֹלֵךְ מִבֶּכִי, וְעֵינַיִךְ, מִדִּמְעָה:  כִּי יֵשׁ שָׂכָר לִפְעֻלָּתֵךְ נְאֻם-יְהוָה, וְשָׁבוּ מֵאֶרֶץ אוֹיֵב.	15 Thus saith the LORD: Refrain thy voice from weeping, and thine eyes from tears; for thy work shall be rewarded, saith the LORD; and they shall come back from the land of the enemy.
