Annunciare l'anno dell'Eterno'S buon piacere, E il giorno della vendetta del nostro Dio; Per confortare tutto quel lutto;
Midrash Tanchuma
Does He actually require the assistance of others that it says, He sent an angel against Sennacherib but he did not kill them, since When He bloweth upon them they wither (Isa. 40:24)? This teaches us that whosoever helps Israel is considered as though helping the Shekhinah. Therefore it is written: For He is highly exalted. You have exalted yourself greatly through those who rebelled against You. Who were they that rebelled against You? The ones who attacked Your children: Chedorlaomer, king of Elam … and he divided himself against them by night (Gen. 14:1, 15). Who hath raised up one from the east, at whose steps victory attendeth … he pursueth them and passeth on (I Sam. 41:2–3). Scripture also says: The Lord said unto my lord: “Sit thou at My right hand, until I make Mine enemies thy footstool.” The rod of thy strength the Lord will send out of Zion: “Rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.” Thy people offer themselves willingly in the day of thy warfare, in adornments of holiness, from the womb of the dawn, thine is the dew of thy youth. The Lord hath sworn, and will not repent; “Thou art a priest for ever after the manner of Melchizedek.” The Lord at thy right hand doth crush kings in the day of His wrath (Ps. 110:1–5).
