“Hashem Mulch, Hashem Moloch, Hashem Yimloch leolam voed – Hashem is the Sovereign, Hashem was the Sovereign, Hashem will be Sovereign forever and ever.” Our Sages combined this sentence for our liturgy from verses appearing in different parts of Tanach. The three together comprise our absolute belief in Hashem’s Sovereignty from before time began to after time ends. Yet Bnei Yisroel witnessing the destruction of Pharaoh’s armies at the Red Sea sang only of the future, “Hashem will be Sovereign forever and ever.” Our Sages say that had Bnei Yisroel proclaimed God’s sovereignty in the present at the splitting of the sea, God’s sovereignty would never be hidden in the world and Moshiach would have come at that time. Why did Bnei Yisroel limit their proclamation of God’s overt sovereignty to the future, the timeframe most often found in our liturgy?
