I
am Yosef

Version
"Yosef said to his brothers,
'I am Yosef.'" (Bereishit 45:3)
All of the time the brothers were trying to buy
wheat and went through the ordeal of being accused
as spies by the Egyptian viceroy, they were asking
themselves and each other many questions. There
was a feeling of guilt and they accused one of another
of causing their troubles. The second time they
traveled they also wondered, "What is G-d doing
to us?"
Until they heard two words from Yosef, "Ani Yosef,"
(I am Yosef) - then everything became clear. All
of the questions, wonders, and doubts lifted and
what was behind the whole progression of events
became apparent.
The same thing will happen at the end of world history.
When the world hears those two words, "Ani Hashem,"
(I am G-d) all of our questions, doubts, and wonders
about the events of our lives and of history will
be answered. All that is still wondrous in our eyes
will make sense as all of humanity together sees
how the Hand of G-d has done everything for our
greatest good.
