Saddam Hussein was in the headlines, on the heels of Osama Bin Laden. With this on my mind, and knowing the importance of getting the symbolism in order to receive the spiritual message behind the physical event, it begged the question:

"Lord, why two enemies of Israel?"

Within a couple of hours I turned on the TV to watch Oprah... It was a bit after the broadcast time so I was not aware of the show's topic.

The first words that came out of Oprah's mouth were:

"He's a liar, he lies about everything."

She was referring to Saddam Hussein.

Then I understood!

Israel symbolizes the Mind, which has two enemies: fear and lies.

The events of 9/11, linked to Osama Bin Laden, created terror; fear ...

And fear gives power to lies, giving power to Saddam Hussein, the liar.

Two enemies, without and within.
