When he had opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature cry out, โCome forward.โย And I beheld a black horse, and its rider held a scale in his hand. I heard a voice in the midst ofย the four living creatures. It said, โA measure of wheat costs a dayโs pay, and three measures ofย barley cost a dayโs pay. But do not damage the oil and the wine.โ

PROPHECY IS HISTORY
Luigino Bruni
To learn to rise again
Do not be afraid of life or of the carnal words of the flesh to narrate man and God
ยซ An ancient sage and master of the Mishnah, Ben Bag Bag, once said: ยซ Look at it which way you will, it is all in the Torah [Law]ยป. It can all be found in the Torah, but you must turn it over and turn it over again: God has spoken, but it is up to man to add the comments ยป
Paolo De Benedetti, Introduction to Judaism (Introduzione al giudaismo)
โ
This is where we begin our commentary on the Books of Kings, coming straight into the ambivalence, ambiguity and skulduggery of David and Solomon, telling us that salvation does not need purity and innocence to operate and induce us to start over again.
After his people built and worshipped the golden calf on the slopes of mount Horeb, Moses entered a deep crisis. In the context of that great failure he felt the need to reinforce his own faith, and asked his God-Yahweh: ยซNow show me your gloryยป (Exodus 33,18). Every once in a while after rebellions, betrayals and unfaithfulness, our own and of others, a strong urge and Mosesโ same request is reborn in us as well. We feel a strong need to see the "glory" of the very first day again, to enable us to continue believing and living. And sometimes, our prayers our heard. Reading the Bible is a real and wonderful way of reliving the โgloryโ during and after any collective or individual crisis, when the memory of the โgloryโ witnessed in the past isnโt enough anymore. And that invincible and enormous request: show me your glory, suddenly sprouts from within and surprises us. This too is the Bible: a theophany that is there for us each day, merely waiting for us to call for it.
