The Suffering and the Redemption of Mashiach ben Ephraim
Well, it finally happened. Yehonatan Pollard is coming home. His plans for Aliyah obviously include making sure that his wife Esther receives the best medical and oncological care in the world for his wife Esther's Jener Machalah= (That Horrible Disease that cannot be mentioned because it is associated with the Mazal of the Sin of the Golden Calf during the month Tamuz, the Hebrew word for Crab). So I am sure that his and her imminent Aliyah is being scheduled around her life saving therapies. In anticipation of his Aliyah, I have kept a lot of my deeper thoughts and musings about his role in the Redemption of Klal Yisrael to myself. I had no desire to awaken the Satan's accusations that may have been used to extend his intolerable parole conditions for another five or ten years. But apparently those accusations have dissolved in what MIGHT be Trump's last wonderful Presidential act on behalf of Klal Yisrael. On that subject, I am not going to guess which outcome Trump's legal maneuvers are going to achieve. For this last great deed of kindness, he deserves to win something, maybe the Presidency of the United RedStates of America as all the deeply blue states on both coasts secede from the United States upon his pulling off a miraculous re-election. I am not here to guess which outcome will be achieved in the next two weeks in time for the "drop dead" date (8th December 2020) to certify the Electors to the Electoral College from the various states, especially in the six swing states where Trump and his legal team are trying to prove massive fraud. And now I have learned, that if there is a Supreme Court ruling in Trump's favor on massive Election fraud in at least three states (including in Pennsylvania and in either Michigan or Georgia) to overthrow the election in those three or more states, then Baruch HaShem, Trump may pull off his Victory in the United RedStates of America. The US Supreme Court will need to rule on this before the Electoral College actually gathers in the various State capitals on the 14th of December to vote for President. Biden would then have less than 270 Electoral College votes, and the election would then be decided amongst the various state delegations of members of the US House of Representatives with each state having one vote according to the US Constitution. Since the Republicans have a slight majority (26 out of 50) in both the incoming and the outgoing State Congressional Delegations of House members amongst the 50 State delegations, Trump would then be re-elected.
Moving on from this contentious subject, a far greater Geulah event than whether Trump is inaugurated on January 20th, 2021 has just occurred. The 6th and final Mashiach ben Yosef has been released from prison, the Mashiach ben Yosef who is released from decades long degradation in one of Edom's prison systems, spending years of his thirty year sentence in jail in Solitary confinement which was a major condition of his suffering predicted in the Yalkut Shimoni, Yishayahu 60, Remez 499 before his release. I will give a full translation of the entire segment dealing with the release of Mashiach ben Ephraim in this post. But first a little background and in my mind, 100% proof must be presented that he is the last Mashiach ben Ephraim who is apparently released in the 6th year, the Yesod year, of the Dystopian and Final Shmittah cycle before the Coming of Mashiach ben David in year 8, b'itah (earlier with HaShem's Rachamim). I will present all the evidence that has been presented slowly on this blog over the years, but because the presentation is so voluminous, I will present it with bulletpoints and in outline form.
First let us define the Role of Mashiach ben Yosef in the world. He has four potential roles in the Final Redemption. In the case of the previous five MBYs, they had the ko'ach to achieve at least one of these four roles.
1. Ingathering of the Exiles. Whenever the Vav appears in Yaakov's name, which happens only five times in all of Tana"kh, we are being introduced to an event that takes place during the Mashiach ben Yosef period of history which lasts from the Greening of Eretz Yisrael until the Coming of Mashiach Ben David. The Vav in Ya'akov appears once in the entire Torah in Lev. 26:42 and four times in Sefer Yirmiyahu. The Greening of Eretz Yisrael started with the Agricultural Aliyahs of the late 19th Century which started with the the founding of Rosh Pinah and Zikhron Ya'akov in 1882. But we were informed in Tana"kh, mamash in the Torah itself, that it would begin with the Remembrance of Ya'akov (Zikhron Yaakov). וְזָכַרְתִּי, אֶת-בְּרִיתִי יַעֲקוֹב; וְאַף אֶת-בְּרִיתִי יִצְחָק וְאַף אֶת-בְּרִיתִי אַבְרָהָם, אֶזְכֹּר--וְהָאָרֶץ אֶזְכֹּר. 42 then will I Remember My covenant with Ya'akov, and also My covenant with Isaac, and also My covenant with Abraham will I remember; and I will remember the land.
Now Yoseph became Viceroy of Mitzraim exactly 9 to 9 1/2 years before Ya'akov and his 70 children, grandchildren, and some great-grandchildren descended into Mitzraim after the 7 years of plenty and two to two 1/2 years of famine. After they descended while Yocheved was being born, they were in Mitzraim for 130 years until she gave birth to Moshe Rabbeinu, one of the mysterious hidden miracles of the Torah. Yes, Yocheved gave birth to Miriam when she was 123 years old, to Aharon, when she was 127 years old, and to Moshe Rabbeinu when she was 130 years old. The Written Torah makes a huge deal that Sarah Imeinu miraculously gave birth to Yitzchak when she was 90 years old. In order to bear one child, she needed to be rejuvenated with the return of her fertility cycle and with her ability to produce milk for her young child. The Torah makes a point to stress this miraculous reclaiming of her youth (Gen 18:11) in order for her to bear just one child when she was not yet 90 years old. Yet, Yocheved giving birth to three children when she was 123 years and older was not even worth one mention of the miraculous nature of her remaining forever young? Could it be a hint for the Final Redemption, that the return of the Land of Israel to its former fertile bounty, would take place in such a natural way that even amongst our own people, the Land's return to its former fertility would not be considered miraculous?? Yes, every decade, an ancient country is redeemed from the encroaching lifeless deserts with the return of its ancient people who plant trees and crops as if their 1800 year absence for the country never happened? It happens all the time that after that ancient people left, the Land they vacated for 1800 years does not produce crops from its soil, but suddenly when the ancient people's return, the Land prospers from its agricultural bounty..... Of course, this likely is the only time in world history where this even has occurred, but just like Yocheved remained fertile until she was at least 130 years old, the Land of Israel produced its bounty as if Klal Yisrael never left, starting with the founding of Rosh Pinah and Zikhron Ya'akov. And just as the forming of Israel as a nation began with Yoseph becoming Viceroy of Mitzraim at age 30, to prepare the way for Israel's 70 original descendants to sojourn in Mitzraim, the Mashiach ben Yoseph period of history began with the founding of those two Agricultural settlements in 1882. And just as Moshe Rabbeinu was born 139 or 140 years later, after Yoseph became Viceroy, to begin the openly miraculous part of the Redemption from Mitzraim, so too would the more natural aspect of the Mashiach ben Yoseph Era of our Redemption come to an end 139 to 140 years after 1882 in 2021 or 2022, ending the natural Era of the Ingathering of the Exiles and the role of Mashiach ben Yoseph to do so.
As I will explain later, there really have been five Mashiach ben Yosephs during this 139 year stretch of history. The first Four have died violent deaths through assassination or War which is prophesied for the first five MBYs while the fifth MBY, Bibi Netanyahu's final fate hangs in the balance. It hangs in the balance since the fifth MBY is the prophesied MBY from Zecharia 12, and throughout the Centuries great tzaddiqim and sages have done mystical tikkunim so that the fifth MBY need not be assassinated as is described in Zech 12:10. And as will be discussed, Eliyahu HaNavi complained to G-d while trying to return the Torah to Heaven at Choreiv, and when he did so, he lost the privilege to herald the first five MBYs, and that in the end he would only herald Mashiach ben David so that those first five MBYs would come in a fully hidden way (just as Yocheved giving birth to three holy children when she was over 120 years old was a hidden miracle of the Torah.) And then there is the sixth and final MBY who rotted in an American jail for 30 years and lived through oppressive parole conditions for the last five years. There had to be six MBYs because the Malkhut of MBY emanates from the purity of Yesod, the 6th Sefirah, which is manifest by the Vav in HaShem's Holiest Name. And Eliyahu would not herald any of them (except maybe the 6th one since the 6th one would come immediately before the advent of Mashiach ben David near the end of the 140 years spoken about above.)
2. Second major Role: To Bring Prosperity to Jews throughout our long exile, but in these last 140 years to bring prosperity to the Ingathered exiles in Eretz Yisrael. This is the primary area in which Binyamin Netanyahu has been most successful. Since January of 2009 when Netanyahu became PM until the Corona Crash in March of 2020, Israel's GDP had grown from 202.5 billion dollars of Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) in 2008 until 387.7 billion nominal dollars for all of 2019. I do not know the PPP equivalent of 387.7 billion nominal dollars. PPP is the equivalent in shekels converted to dollars that can purchase the same market basket of goods and services in previous years. However the growth from 202.5 billion dollars to 387.7 billion dollars is to be understood, that is a phenomenal level of growth in just eleven years. If you include the time when Bibi was Treasury (Finance) Minister under Sharon between 2003 and 2005 one sees an economic growth per capita of $20,679 of PPP until he left the position in 2005 when per capita income was $23,441 of PPP,
I am not including the growth or economic collapse in 2020 because the CoronaVirus plague was meant to destroy the world's economy in Olam HaZeh, and will only end when double blind studies are done on Hydroxychloroquine with Zinc and/or Ivermectin to prove their effectiveness in stopping the progression of the disease to the point where longterm damage is done to the body in 15% of Covid cases. The 15% of cases where people do not seem to ever recover are called longhaulers. But with HCQ or Ivermectin, the percentage of longhauler cases plummets to less than 1%. With these cheap generic anti-virals, the necessity to close down Economies to stop the virus would end because very few people would suffer from the longterm damage that takes place in 15% of all Covid cases without the cheap, generic anti-virals. Yet, because there is no windfall profit to be made on anti-virals that cost less than $20 for a week's treatment regimen, these double blind studies have never been done!! So the efficacy of these two cheap anti-virals mysteriously remains a Mystery!! Well to be honest it is not such a mystery because the essence of the Western World's service to G-d is for the purpose of making money. So as long as we are "trapped" in that worldview, the macro-economic worldview will be to disparage ideas that do not result in massive profits for those providing necessary goods and services to the point of destroying the entire General economy so that those who manufacture medicine can show a healthy bottom line to their stockholders. In such a world, serving G-d altruistically is a laughable concept. And as long as Edom is in control, it will be more important for Gilead to make $500 a pill profit from Remdesivir, their new designer anti-Covid drug than for people to have access to low cost and low profit generics which would allow the world Economy to open up. Think really hard about how horribly EVIL this is! On this note let us introduce concept number 3, that is the 3rd major role of Mashiach ben Yoseph in general and with the final and 6th Mashiach ben Ephraim in particular.
3. Prosperity for the Final Mashiach ben Yoseph who will truly be from Shevet Ephraim on his mother's side will be completely contingent on NOT serving G-d to Make Money. The Prosperity for the 6th Mashiach ben Yoseph will ONLY come if the mentality in Eretz Yisrael is to serve G-d lishmah (for its own sake). That is, we will leave the level of Hod that is in Hod (Glory that is in Glory), the 33rd level of purity for the level of Yesod that is in Yesod, the 41st level of purity. The level of Hod she beHod as pointed out multiple times on this blog is the level that Edom rises to because at that level he is doing what is right in G-d's eyes only to prosper in Olam HaZeh. We see this for instance with the Mon which fell the first time on the 31st day of the Omer which was a Motzei Shabbat night. As we read in Shemot 16:
א וַיִּסְעוּ, מֵאֵילִם, וַיָּבֹאוּ כָּל-עֲדַת בְּנֵי-יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶל-מִדְבַּר-סִין, אֲשֶׁר בֵּין-אֵילִם וּבֵין סִינָי--בַּחֲמִשָּׁה עָשָׂר יוֹם לַחֹדֶשׁ הַשֵּׁנִי, לְצֵאתָם מֵאֶרֶץ מִצְרָיִם. 1 And they took their journey from Elim, and all the congregation of the children of Israel came unto the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departing out of the land of Egypt. (That is the 30th day of the Omer)
ב וילינו (וַיִּלּוֹנוּ) כָּל-עֲדַת בְּנֵי-יִשְׂרָאֵל, עַל-מֹשֶׁה וְעַל-אַהֲרֹן--בַּמִּדְבָּר. 2 And the whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron in the wilderness;
ג וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֲלֵהֶם בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל, מִי-יִתֵּן מוּתֵנוּ בְיַד-יְהוָה בְּאֶרֶץ מִצְרַיִם, בְּשִׁבְתֵּנוּ עַל-סִיר הַבָּשָׂר, בְּאָכְלֵנוּ לֶחֶם לָשֹׂבַע: כִּי-הוֹצֵאתֶם אֹתָנוּ אֶל-הַמִּדְבָּר הַזֶּה, לְהָמִית אֶת-כָּל-הַקָּהָל הַזֶּה בָּרָעָב. {ס} 3 and the children of Israel said unto them: 'Would that we had died by the hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh-pots, when we did eat bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger.' {S}
ד וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה אֶל-מֹשֶׁה, הִנְנִי מַמְטִיר לָכֶם לֶחֶם מִן-הַשָּׁמָיִם; וְיָצָא הָעָם וְלָקְטוּ דְּבַר-יוֹם בְּיוֹמוֹ, לְמַעַן אֲנַסֶּנּוּ הֲיֵלֵךְ בְּתוֹרָתִי אִם-לֹא. 4 Then said the LORD unto Moses: 'Behold, I will cause to rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a day's portion every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in My law, or not.
So since the 30th day of the Omer in the year of the Exodus was on Shabbat when HaShem spoke to Moshe about the Mon, the Mon first fell on the 31st day of the Omer, and Klal Yisrael had a "Chazakah" on the Mon on Lag B'Omer when it fell for the third time. From this we see that in Esav's mind, we serve G-d until the 33rd day of the Omer and wrestle (or take away) the right to bestow Eternal prosperity from G-d to give this power to Man at this level so that G-d Himself cannot dispute Edom's right to Prosperity for the rest of time. This happens at Hod that is in Hod. So only the one who is pure in Yesod that is in Yesod, Mashiach ben Ephraim, can wrestle the Malkhut away from Edom and place it back in the hands of the descendants of Ya'akov, Ya'akov spelled with a Vav, which represents Mashiach ben Yoseph in Ya'akov's name. So one of the simanim that we should see at the moment that this Mashiach ben Ephraim goes free from Esav's 35 years clutches is the Collapse of the Dollar as the World's Reserve Currency. Lo and behold Yehonatan Pollard went free last Erev Shabbat Toldot, just over a week ago, and the Collapse of the Dollar is suddenly becoming more and more evident. Yes, there will be up days as the Bank of Israel and other Central banks purchase billions of dollars to try to prevent its collapse, but from here on out the longterm result will be the complete deterioration of the Dollar as the world's reserve currency. Today it fell below 3.31 shekels per dollar for the second time since the Recalibrated New Israeli Sheqel was introduced on the 13th of October 1994. A short history: When it was first introduced and recalibrated, the Sheqel was artificially set at the beginning to be exchanged at approximately 3.0 shekels to the dollar. Yet, Originally back on 1st January 1986, the New Sheqel was introduced after rampant inflation of the Old Sheqel at a rate of 1000 Old Sheqels for each New Sheqel. But the New Sheqel itself quickly and steadily inflated over the next 8 years from about 1 sheqel to the dollar to about 3 sheqels to the dollar. Then it was recalibrated in 1994 at the 3.0 sheqels to the dollar mentioned above with the elimination of the 1, 5, and 10 sheqel banknotes. Remember those Old 1000 Sheqel notes which were exchanged in 1986 for the NIS 1 sheqel notes with the Rambam's picture on the face of the note? Well those notes were eliminated near the end of 1994 as the currency was once again calibrated and set at NIS 3.0 to the dollar. It quickly rose from its initial artificially set value to over 3.30 shekels to the dollar in January of 1997, slightly more than two years later. The dollar continued to explode upwards to 4.917 on or around 1st of May 2002. Since then and right before that date, it has vacillated up and down depending on the various economic and global crises that took place from time to time such as 9/11/2001 and the Al Aksa Intifada. Then came the Financial Crisis/Collapse of 2008 when at the end of that Shmittah year the Dow fell exactly 777.7 points on the 29th of Elul 5768. Immediately before that event the exchange rate fell briefly below 3.30 to 3.2166 on 1st May 2008. It quickly bounced back above 3.35, never showing any clue that that particular dip would be long-lasting. This time, well this time things seem completely different. Time will tell if this trend continues, but it does not look good for those of us whose income is in dollars. As the Pure power of Yesod rises in this 6th year of this Sabbatical cycle, the currency of those who serve G-d primarily for the purpose of this worldly prosperity, that is "to attain the American dream" will falter. So does Pollard come here to rule? Or does his Aliyah simply represent a spiritual transfer of Malkhut to someone who understands the spiritual mechanics of this transfer of Malkhut. Such a person will tell the Big Pharmaceutical companies to go to Azezel and will permit free and unfettered access to the cheap anti-virals as mentioned above. And then there will be no longer any need for this perpetual lockdown that the Powers that be think are for our good but which are really taking place so that Big Pharma can reap windfall profits. From now on Goodness and decency will not be rewarded based on how much money that decency helps us prosper but what is the value of that decent act in Shamayim even if it is to the detriment of temporal prosperity in this world. This will be the key to unlocking the Prosperity of the Malkhut of the Final Mashiach ben Ephraim.
4. The Matrilineal Power to Destroy Amaleq in the World. This power to destroy Amaleq that exists in the Torah and in Tana"kh in general comes from one of two people, Rachel Imeinu and Osnat bat Potiphara (really Osnat bat Dinah) This koach is matrilineal because Amaleq is the foremost "masculine" force for Evil in the world. It is why when referring to Amaleq, we are commanded to Remember him (Zakhor in Hebrew). As it says in Shemot 17: וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה אֶל-מֹשֶׁה, כְּתֹב זֹאת זִכָּרוֹן בַּסֵּפֶר, וְשִׂים, בְּאָזְנֵי יְהוֹשֻׁעַ: כִּי-מָחֹה אֶמְחֶה אֶת-זֵכֶר עֲמָלֵק, מִתַּחַת הַשָּׁמָיִם. 14 And the LORD said unto Moses: 'Write this for a memorial in the book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua: for I will utterly blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.'
and in Devarim 25 וְהָיָה בְּהָנִיחַ יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ לְךָ מִכָּל-אֹיְבֶיךָ מִסָּבִיב, בָּאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר יְהוָה-אֱלֹהֶיךָ נֹתֵן לְךָ נַחֲלָה לְרִשְׁתָּהּ--תִּמְחֶה אֶת-זֵכֶר עֲמָלֵק, מִתַּחַת הַשָּׁמָיִם; לֹא, תִּשְׁכָּח. {פ} 19 Therefore it shall be, when the LORD thy God hath given thee rest from all thine enemies round about, in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance to possess it, that thou shalt blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven; thou shalt not forget.
We see that this is important because while Mashiach ben David is a patrilinear descendant of David who is a patrilinear descendant of Yehudah, the line for Malkhut Yosef or Binyamin is much more complex, for both Yosef and Binyamin have this ko'ach to destroy Amaleq in the World. Also since Ephraim and Menashe are Yoseph's children, the ko'ach to destroy Amaleq in the world must come from their mother Osnat, not from Yoseph himself. From here we can see, that the power to subdue the "feminine" side of evil in the world comes from the patrilinear line of Mashiach ben David, but the power to wipe out the masculine side of evil in the world comes from the matrilineal line of Mashiach ben Yoseph or Binyamin, but really from Rachel Imeinu. This is why when listing the yichus of the MBY figure in Zecharia 12, we are informed that on his father's side he is from the House of Natan but is also a patrilinear Levite. Yet, on his mother's side he is from the FAMILY of Shimi. When patrilinear descent is being stressed, the text says that he is from the House of Natan or the House of the Levi'im. In this case of Mishpachat Shimi the prophet is referring to matrilinear descent from a historical Shimi. I believe here we're are referring to Shimi ben Geira from Binyamin, for in all these cases if the yichus goes through a man in the lineage, the next in line has to be through a woman. It can be passed down from woman to woman, but if it then goes through a man in a particular generation, in the next generation it must go through a woman.
So these things explain three anomalies in the Torah/ Tana"kh. 1. There is a tradition that the last Mashiach ben Ephraim will be a direct descendant of Yehoshua bin Nun. But Yehoshua was not blessed with any sons. He only gave birth to daughters. So the Malkhut of Yehoshua bin Nun must be through his daughters! 2. When the Torah chooses to discuss the Yerushah (passed on inheritance) of Men to Women when the men have no sons, it without coincidence chooses the Tribe of Menashe, one of the three tribes of potential matrilineal descent! The daughters of Tzelofchad are not so coincidently from Shevet Menashe! 3. And most famously of all, for those who hold that Achashveirosh was the father of Dariyavush who completed the 2nd Temple, the yichus to have merit to complete such a holy task could not come from his evil, drunken father who originally sided with Haman to wipe out all the Jews. It must have come from his mother, Esther HaMalkah, from the Tribe of Binyamin!
So in all this, one of the matrilineal Yichusim remains completely unexplained. We can see that Rachel somehow represented feminine Malkhut. She was the only one amongst all the Imahot, who did not have a Hey representing Binah in her name. Here is the list: שרה רבקה לאה זלפה בלהה. All of them have the Hey of Binah in their names, and with Sarah Imeinu, it was specifically added to her name when her name was changed from Sarai. As a matter of fact Bilhah has two Heys to make up for the fact that she was the maidservant of Rachel who had no Heys in her name! Poor Leah. 6 of the Shevatim came from her womb, but the Mother of Klal Yisrael is Rachel Imeinu! Yet, how about Osnat? Well if we trace back her yichus through her "X chromosome", we see that her mother was Dinah who was raped by Shekhem. And Dinah's father was Ya'akov Avinu whose mother was Rivkah Imeinu whose father was the evil Bethuel whose mother was Milkah wife of Nachor who was Avraham's brother. So a question immediately comes to mind. We are told more than once in the Torah that Nachor's wife was Milkah, but we are NOT informed who was the wife of Avraham's other brother Haran who was the father of Lot and Yiskah (who likely may have been Sarah). We cannot say that the importance of Milkah's children and grandchildren was greater than the children of Haran's unmentioned wife. So pray tell. Why do we know Milkah's name and not the name of the wife of Haran? The answer seems to be that when it comes to the wives of gentiles and their descendants, the Torah rarely mentions the names of gentile women while the names of the Jewish women are frequently mentioned in the Torah/ Tana"kh including the names of the mothers of the Kings of Yehudah and Israel. In Bereishit we are told that Na'amah was the sister of Tuval Ka'in (Vulcan, the Avodah Zarah of Blacksmiths in the Roman pantheon). The Roman pantheon of Avodah Zarah was frequently named after the Anshei Shem (Men and Women of Renown) in the pre-Flood world. But Na'amah? Why do we need to know about his sister? Because Na'amah was extremely important in the continuance of the human race! Na'amah became Noach's wife. Since she was so important in the story of Mankind, she received an honorable mention in the Torah! And so it is with Milkah, the gentile wife of the gentile Nachor. Milkah is Malkah since both are spelled מלכה. In short we are told Milkah's name because it is from her that we have the feminine side of Malkhut that will ultimately destroy Amaleq in the world. So lo and behold who is the mother of the final Mashiach ben Yoseph, who truly is Mashiach ben Ephraim released from prison, the Ephraim who received his Malkhut from Milkah through his mother Osnat? Her name is also Malkah. Yehonatan Pollard is Yehonatan ben Malkah.
And there is one more point before I present the translation of the portion of the Yalkut Shimoni, Remez 499 which is apropos to the tortured life of Yehonatan Pollard. I am copying and pasting this from a thought out email which I wrote to a few close readers to this blog. I always had my doubts about Yehonatan Pollard even after meeting the Rishon LeTzion, Rav Mordechai Eliyahu zt"l, who often came to S. Louis on the way to Marion, Illinois's Maximum Security prison in Southern Illinois. We knew at the time that he had added that extra Hey to Yonatan's name in order for him to have the ko'ach to destroy Amaleq in the world. (From the Yud Hey Vav in his name). We know from Sefer Shemot that as long as Amaleq remains in the world, the Yud Hey in HaShem's Name remains disconnected from the Vav and the final Hey in HaShem's Name. So the one who can destroy Amaleq in the world needs the Yud and the Hey in his name attached to the Vav. So when Pollard received that Hey, he had the Yud, Hey, Vav consecutively in his first name.
I now live here in Israel. My house overlooks Wadi Yonatan or Yehonatan when the son of Shaul crossed over from where his father camped out in Migron when Yehonatan and his armor bearer climbed a sheer faced cliff to defeat the Philistine army at Michmash (Shmuel Aleph 14, First Samuel 14). Before that incident he was simply known as Yonatan. During that miraculous battle, the text of Shmuel changes his name to Yehonatan. If he had survived, he, not his father would have destroyed Amaleq in the world.
