God Turns The Wheel

© 2025 Issachar Tal van Kekem

The Blessed Holy One… spins revolutions
Prosecutions, retributions, and even executions…

The Blessed Holy One… turns… the Wheel: the celestial sphere…
The Blessed Holy One… is the cause of all… and every cheer…
The Blessed Holy One… is the cause of every consequence … and of every fear…

The Cloaked Dazzlers… are His Heavenly powers… for better AND for worse
Both angelic AND demonic, both blessing AND curse!
They are instruments in His hands, executing His holy Will
Whatever men do, they transform, depending on man’s inclination:
If man acts well, the wheel spins to the right, to favor.
If man does wrong, the wheel spins to the left, eternal hard labor!

Before Avràm was perfected, Ishmaèl issued from his loins,
Then, after Avrahàm had entered the Covenant, Yitschàk issued from his loins.
And from Lot and his two daughters issued two distinct nations,
One linked to the right and one linked to the left:
One endowed with hope, and one… totally bereft.
Yitschàk was planted as a choice vine, entirely grown of truth,
And therefore his seed was endowed with eternal youth
Ya’akòv is Israèl
Israèl Yerùshalàyim
Yerùshalàyim eternity

A lying tongue…
Cannot survive for long,
But a “lip of truth”
Forever does endure!
