The Mystery of 17 Tammuz and the Divine Strategy

How God deceives Satan by building the messianic lineage through "scandals"

🔗 The Extraordinary Revelation

This study reveals how God deliberately built the messianic lineage through situations so compromising that Satan himself could never believe that anything holy could emerge from them. From the deepest darkness springs the purest light!

This research offers an original reading that may surprise you - whether you're familiar with these texts or discovering them. The approach will be gradual, respectful of different sensitivities, and will seek above all to illuminate rather than convince.

🔮 The Hidden Timeline - What Satan Doesn't See

👁️ THE PARALLEL REALITY

While these events unfold on the surface, a hidden divine plan operates in parallel:

Each "scandal" → Divine protection for the true lineage
Each "failure" → Purification through trials
Each "rejection" → Selection by divine criteria
Each "impossibility" → Demonstration of divine omnipotence

God builds His throne in the shadows while Satan watches the spotlight!

😈 2. THE DIVINE STRATEGY AGAINST SATAN

🛡️ The Perfect Divine Camouflage

🎭 THE MYSTICAL PRINCIPLE

Satan reigns supreme in this world and monitors every noble lineage. But God found the perfect strategy: build the royal lineage through situations so "scandalous" that Satan could never imagine anything holy emerging from them!

The Divine Logic:

• Satan expects holiness from holy places
• He monitors pure families and noble bloodlines
• He never suspects that light can emerge from darkness
• The most impossible situations become God's workshop

👁️ How Satan Sees Things

📋 THE LIST OF "IMPOSSIBILITIES"

Here's what Satan observes:

Haran: "Burned for idolatry - cursed lineage!"
Lot: "Lives in Sodom, sleeps with his daughters - no holiness possible!"
Moab: "Born from incest, forbidden in the assembly - excluded for life!"
Balak: "Prostitutes his daughters against Israel - sworn enemy!"
Judah/Tamar: "More prostitution - total corruption!"
David: "Considered mamzer by his own family - impossible for him to be king!"

Satan's Conclusion: "NO holiness can emerge from this lineage!"

🎯 MEANWHILE, GOD...

While Satan monitors "pious" families and "noble" lineages, God quietly builds His royalty in the shadows:

Each "scandal" = Divine protection
Each "impossibility" = Perfect camouflage
Each "compromise" = A test of pure intention
Each "rejection" = Divine selection

Result: The royal lineage grows invisible to the eyes of evil!

🌟 The Principle "Min Ha'Hoshekh Yotsé Or"

💎 FROM DARKNESS SPRINGS LIGHT

This kabbalistic principle explains the entire divine strategy:

The darker the origin seems → The more brilliant the final light will be
The more Satan ignores a lineage → The more freely it can develop
The more impossible a situation seems → The more God reveals His omnipotence
The more the world rejects someone → The more God can make them His chosen

The Messiah will emerge from where no one expects Him!

⚔️ The Spiritual Warfare Dimension

🗡️ BATTLE FOR THE FUTURE

This isn't just about genealogy - it's cosmic warfare:

Satan's strategy: Control the obvious paths to power and holiness

God's counter-strategy: Use the path Satan would never think to guard

The battlefield: Not palaces or temples, but broken families and impossible situations

The weapon: Pure intention hidden within apparent compromise

The victory: The Messiah emerges from total darkness

God wins the war by fighting on a battlefield Satan doesn't even know exists!
