Parashas Va ' Eira

Our Parsha this Shabbos HaChodesh on Rosh Chodesh Shevat is Parashas Va'Eira.
In this Parsha, HaShem makes Himself known to the World as the True and Only G-D , showing that only He, HaShem , Ha Kadosh Baruch Hu , The Holy One Blessed Be He , is the True G-D , Who Created Creation , by showing that only He is in control of the forces of nature, to use at His Will, in bringing about the Plagues on Egypt . 
It is here , that HaShem Reveals Himself to Egypt , who now cannot deny that HaShem is the Only and True G-D . It is here, that HaShem 'Va ' Eira ,' 'Appears' through His Works .
When Moshe and Aharon first approached Pharoah, to ask Pharoah in the Name of G-D Almighty , to free the Children of Israel , Pharoah called his advisers to bring in the book of all the world's false deities to find if G-D was written in there and of course, G-D was not in there for this was a book of falsity and false deities . G-D IS TRUE . So Pharoah said ,'Why should I let the people go, for I know not his (Moshe's) G-D .'
By the end of the plagues, Pharoah couldn't deny that G-D was G-D . 
Thus, HaShem 'Va ' Eira' 'Appeared,' to the World through His Works . 
But to Moshe and to the Children of Israel, HaShem 'Va' Eira,' ' Appeared,' not just as 'El Shaddai,' the Almighty Who has Control and orders the Universe and His Creation, but as ' AD-Nai,' HaShem Who Gives Mercy to his beloved people Israel, for the time had come to free the Children of Israel .
Just before this, Moshe had gotten upset that HaShem had sent him and Pharaoh had just made the burden of the people more harsh, by having us search for straw and punishing the overseers who tried to watch over their-our people.
It may have looked to Moshe that when HaShem Had Sent him , the people got punished more. Yet, what we see, is nothing of the full picture, for only HaShem Sees all, for Egypt too, was also HaShem's Child and HaShem in all fairness gives each of his children, the opportunity to make good or sadly to reach their quota of negativity before HaShem acts in totality. This last decree of cruelty by Pharoah, took Egypt to its limit of quota of as far as they were allowed to prove themselves and to the limit of how much negativity they perform before facing HaShem's total Judgement and so, HaShem , in His Mercy, set about their punishment. 
The beginning of the Parsha,refers to HaShem 'Va'Eira,' - 'Appearing,' to our Fore-Fathers as 'El Shaddai,' but now, HaShem Will Appear as 'Ad-nai,' - in reference to HaShem's Attribute of Mercy.Now, the Children of Israel will be freed.
Here in this Parsha, HaShem sends the Plagues against Egypt. These miracles were set up at the beginning of Creation to become a part of Creation and its continuance should Egypt choose its cruelty. All nations have free choice, though the more evil they perform and the worse they behave, the harder their heart becomes and the harder it is for them to choose righteousness.
Pharoah, told the people he was a deity and when HaShem made war on Egypt, Pharoah was proved wrong.HaShem is the One and Only True G-D, Who Makes Creation , which includes human beings.
In fact, the reason Moshe and Aharon met Pharoah down by the water at the beginning of the plagues, was because Pharoah was trying to hide the fact that he was human and needed to respond to the calls of nature at the water and so HaShem told Moshe and Aharon to meet him there, showing how HaShem , The True G-D Knows all .
HaShem shows Himself to us in the very nature HaShem Creates,if only we would just look a little closer. 
The Sweetness of HaShem is in the sweet fragrance of the flowers and flower petals that beautify the land. The Warmth of HaShem is in the energy of the Sun that shines down upon us and is there faithfully every morning at HaShem's Command.The Beauty of HaShem is in the beautiful landscapes that make up HaShem's World .The freshness of life that HaShem Gives, is in the angelic faces of the new born babies that enter this World every day. 
Life from HaShem is all around us in the myriad life-forms that adorn HaShem's Earth and Universe , showing the beautiful Imagination that HaShem has to Paint His World sweet every morning.The Vastness of HaShem's Creation, is in the magnificence of the myriad Stars all around us, all filled with HaShem's Energy.
The word 'Va-Eira ,' in Gematria comes to 208 which, added up , comes to 10 , which is the same as the Ten Pronouncements that HaShem Spoke to Create Creation , thus First Appearing to His Creation , within every part of it that HaShem Made. This is also the same Number as the Ten Commandments that HaShem gave us at Har Sinai,that will make this World Righteous and bring it to the point that comes close to HaShem. So , within the Appearance of HaShem , is the Creation of the World and the pathway to come to Him . 
HaShem is all around us , in Almightiness and Mercy , ready and waiting for us to just come to Him and follow His Mitzvahs . 
HaShem 'Va 'Eira ,' - ' Appears ,' to all of us all the time if only we would just turn to Him and Follow Him and Seek Him .
With love to HaShem , I wish HaShem with love,a beautiful Shabbos Kodesh and Chodesh Tov Shevat with love and to all , a beautiful Shabbos Kodesh and Chodesh Tov Shevat with love.
