This World is a עַלמָא דְשִׁקְרְא, the world of falsehood, where even physicality appears to be something separate from the Creator. It is not. All of the Creation is unified in God Almighty the Creator, Giver of Life.

This World is a עַלמָא דְשִׁקְרְא, the world of falsehood, where even physicality appears to be something separate from the Creator. It is not. All of the Creation is unified in God Almighty the Creator, Giver of Life.
Our human task is to reveal His Presence through our thoughts, speech, and actions that further His Agenda . . . and not to be tricked by the world as it seems to be.
Now, as foreseen, it is the truly wicked who have gained dominion over our physical existence:
הָיוּ צָרֶיהָ לְרֹאשׁ אֹֽיְבֶיהָ שָׁלוּ
Her adversaries have become the chief, her enemies prosper (איכה א:ה)
. . . but not over our spiritual essence, for we are eternally connected to our Source, may He be blessed and may His Name that precedes Him be blessed forever.
The wicked elite do not realize that their "blessing" of financial and political power are from God Almighty in order that their merits will be used up in this material realm with no hope for eternal life.
For the day of the Lord is near upon all the nations. As you have done, it shall be done to you; your reward shall return upon your own head. (עובדיה א:טו)
And as we say repeadetly on Rosh HaShana, the Day of Judgment for the year:
כִּי תַעֲבִיר מֶמְשֶׁלֶת זָדון מִן הָאָרֶץ
. . . when You will destroy the Dominion of Evil from the earth
Bracha v'Shalom, Naomi Rivka. I am happy to speak with you about this (but please do not call on Shabbos here in Yerushaliyim or by you). I sent you my phone number a few months back via your e-mail. Let me know if you cannot find it and I'll send it again.

And soon there will be payback:
כִּֽי־קָרוֹב יֽוֹם־יְהֹוָה עַל־כָּל־הַגּוֹיִם כַּֽאֲשֶׁר עָשִׂיתָ יֵעָשֶׂה לָּךְ גְּמֻֽלְךָ יָשׁוּב בְּרֹאשֶֽׁךָ׃

Soon!
Mordechai, I am trying to write an essay about this. Where was this foreseen, in the Jewish tradition?
