The Jews did not go into darkness all at once. It was a gradual work, until they could not discern the gift of God in sending his Son.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm a Jew. I think every Jew is dark in certain ways.
The world at night, for much of history, was a very dark place indeed.
There is no such thing as darkness; only a failure to see.
Jews had an outsider's eye on a lot of Western tradition.
I understood when I was quite small that there were two special things about the Jews. That we'd endured for over 3,000 years despite everything that had been thrown at us, and that we had an extraordinarily dramatic story to tell.
I guess darkness serves a purpose: to show us that there is redemption through chaos. I believe in that. I think that's the basis of Greek mythology.
The Jews had, as a matter of fact, long been all along the most ingenious entrepreneurs. It was only our own future that we had never built upon a business basis.
When the past no longer illuminates the future, the spirit walks in darkness.
It is an open secret that Jews do not work, but rather let others work for them.
Darkness is the only path to light. It is not our wonderful gifts that make us closer to God: it's using our garbage to transform ourselves. This is the key that unlocks the door that opens to God.
