God's Myriads of Messengers

obvious question to Moshe probably was "why did G-d send you? What need does a

G-d have to sending messengers? He certainly knows my address and can speak for

Himself. What need is there for a G-d to send a human messenger? Let Him deliver

His message personally.

that came to his immediate defense and bit them. This taught them a lesson they

would long remember.

Throughout history, G-d has sent out his messengers that do His bidding with

deadly accuracy. No angel is given two jobs. That's because there is no limit to the

amount of Angels at His command.

of the earth. Yet the smallest of all His messengers is probably the deadly virus. For

thousands of years these deadly messengers were invisible. It was only in recent

years that scientists have discovered them.

Every time we catch a cold or get some other sickness we hear someone saying

that it's probably a virus, yet most of us know very little about what a virus is, how

it spreads, and how we can get rid of it. While we may know that there are many

sicknesses that are caused by some very small germs called bacteria, there are other

illnesses caused by something far smaller and much more deadly called a virus. While

bacteria are very small indeed, and can only be seen with the use of a microscope,

viruses are far smaller and can only be seen by using a special microscope called an

electron microscope that can enlarge things more than a billion times. If we'd put a

virus next to a bacterium, the bacterium would look like a mountain in comparison.

One can put a billion viruses on the tip of a needle and there would still be plenty of

space between them. In fact, they are so small that they defy our imagination. Even

the largest virus is billions of times smaller than a speck of dust.

The only thing we can do about a virus is to try and prevent it from harming our

bodies before it actually attacks us. We do that by giving a person something we call

a vaccine. This vaccine is able to arouse the body to make anti-virus chemicals that

are able to recognize a virus when it dares enter the body, and will seek it out and

kill it along with the cell in which it is hiding, before the virus does any irreparable

damage.

Many times a virus can hide in the body cells without us knowing it is there. Only

much later does it come out of hiding and start causing lots of trouble. What makes

it come out of its hiding place? Scientists still are not sure of the answer. Perhaps

someday they will find out.

Yet, while scientists still haven't figured it out, Jews have known the answer for a

powerful army, navy and air force that stands ready to do His bidding. Sometimes

He sends frogs, lice, wild animals, locusts or even the angel of death. We must always

If we vaccinate the body against one type of virus, the virus can easily change into

another type for which the shot will be ineffective. This is why there is no vaccine

against the common cold. The only way we can truly get rid of them for good is by

upon us. Only by listening to His voice will we be assured that the virus will remain

dead and not come to life! May we all merit many years of good health.
