The composer Yishai Ribo surprises with a new song in light of the period – “We will not stop dreaming”. It is a song that describes the world swaying in the face of eternal prophecy.
Why is it important to cooperate with the seventh census of Israel?
Like many in the world, Yishai found himself searching for words in the face of the news and harsh sights of the period. “I look for the right words after the time that has passed since I wrote, and especially in light of the inconceivable upheavals the world is going through these days.
“And they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks.
He says of the song: “I wrote ‘We will not stop dreaming’ I wrote a few years ago inspired by the words of the prophet Isaiah about the vision of the end times, and I even got to sing it in several performances. But every time I went to get it out, something stopped me, perhaps on the part that the heart was not laid to the end with the unequivocal insight that we are part of this very process.
And now this song seems to seek out itself.
“May we have the desire to believe and be redeemed in complete redemption for a world that will no longer carry a gentile to a gentile sword and will no longer learn war.”
And they shall beat their swords into plowshares,
And their spears to shears
A nation shall not lift up a nation against a sword,
And they shall learn no more war
And that they will not tell me that this is the distant future
That it is better for me to be silent than to comment
The bear or the Gog and Magog
And do not rush to comfort me
That tomorrow will be good
A bit of postponing the end
On the pretext of logic
I want a dreamer demands
Messiah today
–
Just do not distract the discourse
From the Messianic King
