Parashas Miketz

Our Parsha this Shabbos Chanukah Rosh Chodesh is Parashas Miketz when the time comes for Yoseif to be taken out of the prison and come before Par'o to interpret his dreams and be made viceroy over Egypt.The time had come for Yoseif to fulfill the dreams that he had ,that he had related to his brothers so long ago.The time had come for Yoseif to fulfill his destiny and bring about the start of a long period that would lead eventually to The Jewish People being saved by G-D through Moses and being brought to Har Sinai to receive the Holy Torah and become a holy nation of priests and a holy nation.The time had come for this period to begin.
Our Parsha starts off with the words 'Vayehi Miketz,' which means , 'And it happened at the end.. ,' where the verse continues to tell us that it was at the end of two years to the day that Par'o was dreaming and behold,he stood over the river.'To the day,' shows us that it was exactly at this certain time and not a day earlier or later,but when the time came , for HaShem to bring about His Plan,it happened with not a moment to spare. The word 'Miketz' means ' At the End,' a strange way to describe a process that seemed to just be starting.So there must be more here that HaShem is trying to teach us.
Within the word 'Miketz,' are the words 'Mi' and 'Ketz,' which means ' Who,' and 'End.'Thus,'Who's end,' is being referred to with these words?Nothing in our World is what it appears to be.The way we see things is really nothing like they really are.Here,Yoseif was being released from prison after so many years and ,as we know,became viceroy,only to lead to the Jews being enslaved.This is how it appears.So when we look at the words 'Mi' and 'Ketz,' on the surface it may look as though this was a step toward our slavery.But it was actually a step toward our redemption.So when we ask ,'Who's end? ' It looked like ours.But Chas Ve Shalom, in the end,it turned out that this was really the real start of the end of the Egyptian Power and might.For,when the Jews did leave Egypt,the country was completely broken.Now when we look properly,we see the answer to this question of 'Who's End?' It was the end of Egypt as a power.Nothing in this World happens for no reason.Though things may not always look positive,we need to trust HaShem, for when man is busy planning his own schemes, HaShem in His Infinite Wisdom is taking the works of men and turning it to a positive advantage.
The word 'Ketz' that is within the word 'Miketz,' also has another reference.The word 'Ketz,' also refers to the 'End of Days,' - The 'Ketz.' The End of Days,when this World will be a World of Holiness.That is the final 'Ketz,' the final ' End.'The very fact that this word was used here and that it is linked to a reference to 'The End Of Days,' is by no means a just a choice of words Chas Ve Shalom. This word and reference of 'The End' is here for a reason.What appears around and after this word in this verse,has a commonality with what will happen in the End of Days.
The Jews have had a very hard time among the nations,religiously and in every way.We have been maligned and tortured and killed for our belief.We have been murdered and put under extreme hardships while others tried to force us to abandon our faith Chas Ve Shalom , for the nations have thought that the Jews were scorned of G-D Chas Ve Shalom , for not believing as the other nations do.We have been blamed through the centuries for a story that was not even true.The nations have called us afflicted from G-D , Chas Ve Shalom and lost to the covenant ,Chas Ve Shalom.But at the End of Days,the nations will see that it is us all along that HaShem has looked to,to spread His Holiness in this World and thus make a place for HaShem to live among us.For ,when HaShem chooses the time of the End of Days,it will happen without delay ,as the first verse says,'to the day,' when HaShem will show the nations His Light and our light and we will be a light unto the nations attaining our rightful position as HaShem's guides to lead the nations to Him, through the truth of our Torah that we have followed all along. The nations will see that we are not outcast,but were part of HaShem's Plan all along.Though we Jews , as a people , have had to go through many hardships through the centuries,at the End of Days, the full picture will show itself and , as the prophet says ,'They will take hold of the robe of one Jew,and follow him, for they will see that the L-RD is with him.' As Yoseif suffered over the robe that Zulaicha, the wife of Potiphar tried to use against him, so will we shine in truth as the nations take hold of our robe and truth and follow its path to the light of G-D to G-D The One And Only. 
At the time that HaShem will decide to usher in the 'End of Days,' so will it happen like a flood,quickly without delay.The same was with Yoseif.When it came to the exact moment that Yoseif was to be released and become Viceroy over Egypt, HaShem brought it like a flood.Yoseif was rushed from the dungeon ,cleaned and washed and his hair cut (for his hair had not been cut in a long time for he lived as a Nazarite in holiness since he was forced to leave his Father Yaakov) and brought before Par'o so the brilliance of HaShem could be shown to all , not a moment later than it was to be.
As Par'o awoke from his dreams standing over the river he had to admit that he was not the one who created the nile as he had told his people.HaShem showed him and his people that it is HaShem Who Created the river and all things and that he was only a created being with no power.The 'Miketz' had come to show the people that G-D is G-D.
So, 'Mi' 'Ketz' 'Who is the End?'HaShem is the true beginning and end.Who make all? HaShem makes all.
The Hebrew word 'Ketz,' has the Gematrical value of 100+90=190 and 1+9+0=10 and 1+0=1 showing that as HaShem Created the World alone with 10 pronouncements and that at the End Of Days all will see that HASHEM is ONE.
As we light our candles throughout the beautiful days of Chanukah,may we bring the light of HaShem into our homes and into this World so that we can dispel the darkness and make this World a place where HaShem's Shechinah can dwell among us and usher in the 'Final End Of Days,' as we celebrate our Holy Shabbos Chanukah on the eve of Rosh Chodesh Tevet and so, may the Eternal Shabbos come now to usher in the final 'Miketz,' with a World filled with G-Dliness as the Light of HaShem permeates every part of this Creation and our waiting come to an end when HaShem ushers in The End Of Days in our time.
May we and all Creation be filled with the Light of HaShem.
With love to HaShem,I wish HaShem with love, a beautiful Shabbos Kodesh,Vreiliche Chag Chanukah Sameach and Chodesh Tov with love and to my fellow Yidden,a beautiful Shabbos Kodesh,Vreiliche Chanukah and Chodesh Tov with love.
