As we sit in the transverse section of religion, we think: Ah, what could be better than this?

Yes . . . communion with the LORD is a very peaceful place!

Communion with the LORD is the place that gives depth to these words of the Psalmist.

Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed. For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness. For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly. O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.

(Psalm 84:9-12)

It would be nice, if mankind could abide solely in this section of the kingdom of man; but, that would invalidate the section in which productivity flows. That cannot happen; since, productivity, too, is a permanent part of the life of the kingdom of man. Therefore, it seems that, there must be another transverse section of the kingdom of man. So, let us look at the space of reality that sits in close proximity to religion. There . . . over there . . . there is a section that was highlighted during the time of the development of the culture and national imprint of Israel.

At a certain time in the transverse section of, religion, God set His Responsibility in an open place. In that day, some of the children of Creation, as in various groups of beings, started moving in circles, around the LORD’S Responsibility. These groups did what children do so well: they started to imitate this attractive Capability. Today, we see it in the animal kingdom, in the care that the beasts give to their own; as in, the strong protection of a lioness.

Of course, humankind, too, is among the groups that dabbled in imitation of the openly viewed, Responsibility of God. However, its early attempts were somewhat awkward; such as, this one.

And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.

(Genesis 6:1-2)

The awkwardness of early humankind is understandable, in that; we, humans, do not have this powerful gift, which the LORD gave to the beasts: strong instinct. In the place of strong instinct, the LORD gave us this: the example. For the replication of a strong pattern of religion, as from the LORD’S Responsibility; God did not point our mind’s eye at the beasts. The beasts were insufficient for our purposes: because, the beasts do not have a robust nuance in their communion with the LORD–or, even, with the world, around them. Among the beasts; they behave according to their installed nature. Generally, the beasts follow their nature, regardless of environmental variations. Here is an example of such, behavior regardless; as occurred during the life of the prophet Elisha.
