The Tragedy of Saint Jacob

Jacob has never felt like he belonged in the Lowell family. As the eldest (legitimate) son he was crushed under the weight of his father's expectations from the moment he could walk. So he did what he could to escape. He rebelled. Jacob would get into fist fights with older boys. It's what made him feel alive. Maybe in another life he could have been a promising boxer. But it seemed wherever Jacob went, trouble followed. He really hit the deep end when John died. As his big brother Jacob was supposed to protect him. Jacob had been at school when it happened. Even if he was there what was he going to do? He couldn't stop the car with his bare hands. Those days were when he cried the hardest. He blamed himself for something completely out of his control. That was when he was approached by his uncle Peregrine. He promised Jacob the power to protect his loved ones, so he was never in so much pain again. All he had to do was look for the cursed vaults. Jacob agreed and began his work.

After Jacob was expelled he refused to leave his room. His quest to protect his loved ones had resulted in the death of one of his best friends. He thought it would be better for him to quitely decompose in his room. That was until one day. Sabine came into his room to tell him about how she had done a cool spin in skating class that day. Jacob was already irritated a yelled at her to get out before slamming the door in her face. Jacob could hear Sabine crying outside. He felt horrible for what he had just done. That was when he heard his father yell his name, demanding to know what he did to Sabine. The two screamed at each other until Jacob put some of his things in a bag and left. He was done with Martinius. He wanted to destroy everything his father had built. He got back in contact with R, telling him he was ready to continue and waited to receive further instructions. During his time doing work for R he met Eliza. They saw each other on and off for a bit. Then Eliza said she thought she might be pregnant. Jacob disappeared. The next thing he knew, he was trapped in the portrait. He had nothing to do but think on everything he was missing out on. Had Sabine forgiven him? How was Sef's music career going? What happened with Eliza? Was mom still making those macaroons he liked? Was dad even bothering to find him? Would he die here?

Then one day he was released from his prison by the sister he had yelled at so long ago. He was overjoyed to see Sabine again. The girl before him had shorter hair and had gotten taller but it was definitely his baby sister. She kept trying to get him to come back home with him. Jacob wanted nothing more that for the family to be whole again but... he needed more power. He had to protect them. So Jacob refused her offer. He went right back to uncle Peregrine. He needed more strength and R was offering it.

He refuses to go home until he feels he is a man that can protect his family. But he will never feel that. There will always be something he feels the need to improve on. The only thing he can do is accept the fact that he's incapable of perfection. That won't be for some time.

After the second wizarding war Jacob finally settles down. He opens a bakery where he can finally do the one thing he has always loved. Making and decorating cakes. It's not macho or cool, but it makes him happy.

Berakhot 7a:5. "Jaws."

Continuing on page 7 is our discussion on law, order, and anger. All of these pertain to the presence of the Black Pillar. There are no reasons for the existence of the Black Pillar of Corruption on this world. It makes no sense that the city of Washington DC is at peace and Jerusalem is not. What is different? One place has a corrupt government one place does not.

If we were to put the DC City Council in charge of Jerusalem, could they fix things? Yes we could. Why are we not doing this then? This is also because of a kind of corruption that should make us angry. We could easily hire people like the DC City Council to work in Jerusalem. Our decision to value the happiness of the people living in Washington over those living in Jerusalem is arbitrary. There is no reason they should be not be governed alike and experience the same quality of life.

The God of Jonathan is a pivotal being in the transference of anger when lawlessness and disorder are displacing people from their ordained purposes. He changed Washington DC, He can change the rest. To be able to mutate from a society that is incapable of noticing all it has lost due to corruption in its midst and eke out civilization is the path to Mashiach the human race too often refuses to take. Nonetheless, the Mishnah Torah states it is a journey we must make:

5. And Rabbi Yohanan said on behalf of Rabbi Yossi: Whence there is no one to restrain a man in the hour of his anger, he dictated: "Let them go and let me go to you." The Holy One, blessed be He, told him to Moses: Wait for me until the faces of anger pass by and you are sweet.

Yossi, Joseph, is derived from yu, "in the Name of the Lord", and sef, "the sill of the threshold." In Judaism the threshold is a complex topic. It is the mystery beneath our feet, the knife in our hearts, it is the unsolvable mystery that we allow to govern our lives. Ultimately it is crossed by understanding the meaning of the lives of the Neviim.

The Torah explains how civilization is made from the clay of human remorse into something none of us shall regret. The Neviim explain how to turn all of it from fantasy in personal reality. They represent the gods of Judaism, demigods and goddesses whose names have symbolic meaning, whose lives and stories have esoteric meaning we can turn into some aspect of real life.

All Jewish gods are successes. They make twists and turns but they are not flawed, they do not fail, all of them complete the portrait God intended for us to see. Jonathan is one of the more frequent named by the Mishnah because he turned a dirty filthy murdering savage boy, David into a King to whom the Lord Prophesied:

2 Samuel 7:

8 “Now then, tell my servant David, ‘This is what the Lord Almighty says: I took you from the pasture, from tending the flock, and appointed you ruler over my people Israel. 9 I have been with you wherever you have gone, and I have cut off all your enemies from before you. Now I will make your name great, like the names of the greatest men on earth. 10 And I will provide a place for my people Israel and will plant them so that they can have a home of their own and no longer be disturbed. Wicked people will not oppress them anymore, as they did at the beginning 11 and have done ever since the time I appointed leaders[a] over my people Israel. I will also give you rest from all your enemies. “‘The Lord declares to you that the Lord himself will establish a house for you: 12 When your days are over and you rest with your ancestors, I will raise up your offspring to succeed you, your own flesh and blood, and I will establish his kingdom. 13 He is the one who will build a house for my Name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever. 14 I will be his father, and he will be my son. When he does wrong, I will punish him with a rod wielded by men, with floggings inflicted by human hands. 15 But my love will never be taken away from him, as I took it away from Saul, whom I removed from before you. 16 Your house and your kingdom will endure forever before me[b]; your throne will be established forever.’”

Without Jonathan the little trollup whore, David would not have become royalty or taken over the reigns of the mess King Saul, who had no vision left behind and created a lasting name for himself.

The Mishnah is telling us we need to follow the example of these Neviim, triumph over the messes our former rulers have left for us and cross the border into our own discrete and purposeful lives. This time, it will be one demarcated by the Crown of Israel who will not suffer a lawless human race to overthrow the will of God that is identified by the Torah.

The Value in Gematria is 7292, זבטב‎‎ , zabat zabtev, "the jaws of the wolf."

The Gemara likens the human race to the jaws of a wolf when it tries to be happy while lawlessness and disorder are prevalent.

The planet is becoming a giant tumbled down concrete slum. We have turned our back on it for too long. The Mishnah says God will put our happiness on hold until this is fixed.
