Haftorah Beam - BeHar

Once again, this week's Torah was part of a doubled parsha last year, and I kinda focused on the other parsha in my commentary.  The Haftorah reading is from Jeremiah, and mostly discusses a real estate deal between the prophet and another member of the community.  It concludes:
24 Here are the siegemounds, raised against the city to storm it; and the city, because of sword and famine and pestilence, is at the mercy of the Chaldeans who are attacking it. What You threatened has come to pass — as You see. 25 Yet You, Lord God, said to me: Buy the land for money and call in witnesses — when the city is at the mercy of the Chaldeans!"
26 Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah:
27 "Behold I am the Lord, the God of all flesh. Is anything too wondrous for Me?

When the problems of the world seem insurmountable, this is reassuring...
