Alcohol is the source of many evils: diseases, accidents, violence. It is a poison, a hard drug. It is therefore no surprise that France — the nation where the forces of evil crystallize — is world-renowned for its wines and spirits.

On the religious level, evil takes form in the Roman Catholic Church, and many abbeys and religious orders are famous for their production of wine, beer, and liqueurs.

Yet even in the heart of darkness, Light can arise. A deeper symbolic reading invites us to look beyond appearances and to seek the hidden meaning of things.

France is the land of wine. Now, it is written in the Talmud:
“Where wine enters, the secret comes out.”

The Hebrew word for wine, yayin (יין), has a gematria of 70.
The word for secret, sod (סוד), also has a value of 70.

Thus, France — Tsarfat, in Hebrew tradition — the land of wine, paradoxically becomes the land where the greatest secrets emerge.
Not through the intoxication of alcohol, but through the symbolic distillation offered by the New Torah.
Not through the old Roman Church, but through the New Catholic Church, the Church of Je Suis.

For in France, good also crystallizes.
There are 70 nations within us — it is our task to enlighten them in order to become true Catholics.
It is in Tsarfat that Truth rises and spreads throughout the world, carried by this New Light.
