The End of QeReN Qayemet in Olam HaZeh

Four years ago during Shevat I wrote the following post:  Is this the Dawning of the Age of the Water Bucket? .  I post it again because with 95% certitude I believe that the conditions that I wrote in this four year old post have come to pass for Mashiach to imminently come as early as this Spring.  I just made two minor changes to the post.  1.  I changed the words Water Bucket to Water-vapor Bucket because the D'li (bucket) or Aquarius, the Tzedeq (Zodiac) sign for the month of Shevat, is an air sign.  In reality the Mazal represents the potential for cloud formation which brings rain.  Cloud formation involves evaporation of ocean water which at the proper vapor pressure, atmospheric pressure, and temperatures in the upper atmosphere condense in clouds in the upper atmosphere bringing rain onto where it is supposed to rain.  Since Vapor is a gas, the Water-vapor bucket is more accurately described as an Air sign.
2. Secondly I changed the spelling of the words Keren Kayemet to Qeren Qayemet because in reality the letter Qoof in Hebrew (ק) is more properly transliterated as a Q not a K.

Other than those two minor changes, I left the article as is.  The point here is that article started as a thought experiment.  What would be a major event that would need to happen in order for Mashiach to come in any particular year?  What event would need to proceed the coming of Mashiach that would prevent society for relapsing into a place where the Wicked could rise politically and financially to take over countries and run large segments of planet Earth and reverse tikkunim and perfecting of the world carried out by our righteous Mashiach.  In this post I came to the conclusion that in order for the Wicked to fall from their high perch and remain fallen, the major advantage that they had to rule in Olam HaZeh would have to be removed from the world.  Only then could Mashiach not only come, but whatever he would establish could NEVER AGAIN be reversed.  The main advantage in Olam HaZeh that Reshayim (people who have greater weight to their sins than their merits) have over Tzaddiqim (people with more weight in their merits over their sins) and Beinonim (people with equal weight in their merits and sins) is that not only do they, the Reshayim, receive their reward for how they affect the world for whatever good they might do (their peirot), but they also receive their principal reward (their Qeren Qayemet) in this world and NOT in the world to come (for they have no World to Come!).  So in the Billionaire club of billionaires, for instance, there are far more Reshayim than Tzaddiqim and Beinomim.  Do not get me wrong, there are a number of wonderful tzaddiqim and beinonim who are billionaires, but a large majority of people who are billionaires are those who get their entire reward in this world both from their principal (Qeren Qayemet) and their fruit (the effect of the world of their relatively few good deeds).  In order for Mashiach to come, this would need to cease.  That means that there would need to be an event that would end for all time for the rest of history, the Receiving of Qeren Qayemet in this world and not in the World to Come!

So in the above linked post, I made a number of points.  Please read that post.

1. That in the year that Mashiach comes sometime hopefully in the Spring, our time of Rachamim, The Qeren Qayemet that the wicked receive would suddenly cease being a source of their blessings in THIS WORLD.  While it is decreed in Tishrei what our parnassah is for the year, it is divided up for Reshayim.  They, the Reshayim, begin to receive from their Qeren Qayemet starting on the 7th of MarCheshvan, and like a tree in the field (its trunk and branches being the Qeren), they continue to receive this brachah from rain all year round.  In the month of Shevat some of that water is diverted to blessing the fruit and leaves of the tree that will bud in the Spring.  So both Reshayim and Tzaddiqim/Beinonim begin to receive the blessing for their fruit.  Since non-Reshayim ONLY receive blessing for their fruit in this world, the decree in Tishrei needs to be reaffirmed in Shevat so that the actual practical blessing for parnassah for non-Reshayim begins in the month of Shevat while for the Wicked it began in MarCheshvan since their brachah INCLUDES their reward for their Qeren Qayemet.  So in the year that Mashiach comes, there would be an event which would END FOR ALL TIME their Qeren Qayemet specifically in the MONTH OF SHEVAT.  In addition, there would be initially that year and explosion of receiving their fruit in the month of MarCheshvan too so that when Shevat came around, the House of Cards from which they receive their blessing would at least begin to cease altogether.  Yet, in that year everyone else for the rest of history would.ONLY receive their blessings for their fruit starting in the Month of Shevat.

2. Whether this point was made in that post, in Olam HaZeh, the time of the month of Shevat when the Water is diverted in part to the fruit is on Tu B'Shevat, the full moon during the month of Shevat.  This opinion in Mishnayot Pereq 1. of Rosh HaShanah that it begins on the 15th of the month is Hillel's opinion.  The opposing opinion is Shamai's opinion who holds that the diverting of rainwater to the fruit is on Rosh Chodesh Shevat.  According to our sages, most arguments between Hillel and Shamai are decided in favor of Hillel, but IN THE YEAR THAT MASHIACH COMES, G-d will begin to rule the world with a greater amount of the Midat HaDin.  So all the opinions where we hold by Hillel in Olam HaZeh, we will hold by Shamai in Yemot HaMashiach.  So this event of ending Qeren Qayemet that would make the world fitting for Mashiach that year would not begin on Tu B'Shevat but would begin on Rosh Chodesh Shevat!

3. The word Qeren in Hebrew means the following: Ray of light, Radiation, Horn, or the aura around the sun during a full solar eclipse, its CORONA.  Just to make in eminently clear, notice that NOT ONLY is the word QeReN etymologically the source of the word CoRoNa, IT HAS THE EXACT SAME MEANING AS CORONA!  

Yet, the incredible events of the last month did not begin on Tu B'Shevat.  It began on the very day that Trump announced his Deal of the Century when he hosted Bibi Netanyahu in the White House.  On that very day he told Israel that our concession to the Arabs will be to give 30 additional percent of Judea and Samaria (50% of Area C) to our sworn enemies for for some substantial promises that the Palestinians have learned to share a common border with us as if they now knew how to behave like Canadians.  To be honest, compared to every Western leader in the history of our modern conflict with the Arabs, Trump's plan was far more reasonable and respectful for our rights to be here.  Yet, the halakhah to not divide Eretz Yisrael and parcel portions of it to appease our enemies is NOT a logical mishpat.  It is a Chok that HaShem gave ALL of Eretz Yisrael to His special chosen nation.  So what might seem eminently reasonable to you and me, is NOT reasonable in Heaven.  On the very day of Trump's announcement of his Deal of the Century it was Rosh Chodesh Shevat, and as it is in almost every year, Rosh Chodesh Shevat is also the Chinese New Year.  And on that very day, they announced the deadly and dangerous consequences of the CoronaVirus to the world!

Now looking at this Virus, SARS nCoV 2 and the disease it causes CoViD 19 (CoronaVirus Disease 2019), it was not "created" to kill billions of people.  It has a 2 to 4% fatality rate, and if your hospital system is not overwhelmed with a shortage of respirators, its fatality rate is less than 2%.
But, because of its  1. very long incubation and quarantine period of 14 to 24 days
2.  its wildly high R naught contagious factor of 3 to 6.5
3.  its asymptomatic contagious transmission for up to 7 days before symptoms even develop
4. its 15 to 20% serious complication rate where one needs to go to a hospital half of whom need breathing assistance from a respirator
5. and its very lengthy disease phase of 10 days to over 2 weeks

Because of these factors, this disease seems to have been formed in Heaven to crash the world economy, not to kill billions of people....  all starting in the month of Shevat 5780.  With 95% certitude I believe that this IS the QeRen Qayement killing event at the End of Days.  Where do people stick their QeReN Qayemet in Olam HaZeh in Western Countries?  In the Stock Market of course!  And who runs one of the most extensive websites and news services on the Stock Market in the Western world?  former NY Mayor Michael Bloomberg of course!  Is it any accident that his political fortunes are crashing at the same time that this Virus is crashing stock markets all over the world?  The power center of the Erev Rav is that they hold most of the financial wealth in Klal Yisrael.  As the pasuk says in Shemot (Exodus) 12:
 וְגַם-עֵרֶב רַב, עָלָה אִתָּם, וְצֹאן וּבָקָר, מִקְנֶה כָּבֵד מְאֹד. 38 And a mixed multitude (The Erev Rav) went up also with them; and flocks, and herds, even very much cattle.  They are most of our billionaires, let us be honest.  So as the Qeren Qayemet market crashes, so will their power and wealth... setting the stage for Mashiach, G-d willing, THIS YEAR!

The Upcoming Election: For Whom to Vote

It has been a long time since I posted.  I have wanted to post recently, but I have had to deal with a series of crises regarding several matters.  Not all of them have worked out perfectly, but my daughter is back home with us in Israel while other things are slowly being worked out, Baruch HaShem.  So to get back into the mood of posting, I thought I would start by just posting.  I am working on an important post about how quickly we are careening toward Geulah.  But that post will be for later.  Right now I want to post about the Israeli election, the critical election that lies before us.  There is a better than 75% chance that this second election in 6 months will end up with no government a second time.  According to a famous medrash, two inconclusive elections at the end of days will end up with Mashiach coming before a third such attempted election can take place.  From the Talmud Sanhedrin 78a:

The disciples of Rabbi Yossi the son of Kisma questioned him, asking when the son of David (the Messiah) will appear. And he answered: I am afraid you will request from me a sign as well. And they assured him that they would not. He then said to them: When this gate will fall, be rebuilt and fall again, be rebuilt again and fall again. And before it will be rebuilt for the third time the Messiah will appear. Tractate Sanhedrin (98a).

According to Rav Yekutiel Fish, these gates are attempted governments.  A government will fall which it did late in 2018.  There will be two elections where governments cannot be formed, and before there is a third such election Mashiach will come.....  Well this 17th of Elul (17th Sept 2019) is the second such election.  Now the 17th of Elul is not just another date.  It is the first time that the Dove was sent out from Noach's Ark which returned that evening because it could find no rest for its foot.  No place in Eretz Yisrael to settler or even to pluck an olive branch which it did the following week on the 23rd or the 24th of Elul when Noach sent forth the Dove a second time.  (the 23rd of Elul if that Elul in the year of the Flood only had 29 days or the 24th of Elul if the Elul in the year of the Flood had 30 days).  It turns out that there was a time exactly 80 years ago when the Dove, Klal Yisrael, had no place to rest its feet since the gates to Eretz Yisrael were closed.  That date was the 17th of Elul 5699 (1st Sept 1939) when Hitler Yemach Shmo invaded Poland.  3 million Polish Jews would then be murdered because they had no place to run to, no place to rest their feet.  The British under Chamberlain had closed the entrance gate to Eretz Yisrael.  So the Dove was truly stuck, and the murder of 90% of Polish Jewry over 5 1/2 years was assured.  So the first time the Dove was sent forth with no place to rest in Eretz Yisrael for its feet was on the 17th of Elul 5699 (1st Sept 1939).  

Several decades later we arrive at the 23rd of Elul 5761 (11th Sept 2001).  It was a Tuesday, and it was precisely one week before Rosh HaShannah.  Even the Ashkenazim had started saying Selichot, joining the Sephardic world that started saying Selichot on Rosh Chodesh Elul.  So many Jews who were saying Selichot were late to work that morning of Sept 11th at the World Trade Center.  It was approximately 8:45am when the first tower was hit, and shortly thereafter, 17 minutes later, the second tower was also hit when 19 Wahhabi Muslim terrorists (the total on four separate planes) took over the cockpits in order to fly two planes into the twin towers of the World  Trade Center and one plane into the Pentagon.  Now, we ask, why the World Trade Center?  What does that have to do with the Dove returning to the Ark with an Olive Branch in its Mouth, about which Rashi says "Better are the Bitter Olive fruits of the Hands of G-d than the Sweet as honey fruits of the hands of Man."  It must be remembered that the Dove picked that olive branch from Eretz Yisrael.  So the Dove, preferring its Freedom and its dependence upon G-d, chose that bitter fruit to return to the Ark.  In our Galut of the last 1900 years, one thing united the Ashkenazic and Sephardic world in terms of how Jews in that long galut could earn a significant parnassah.  Specifically in the Ashkenazic world Jews could either collect the taxes at the behest of the King of the Land Owners, Lend Money at interest to non-Jews since the Xtian world did not allow Xtians into this profession. and to engage in global international mercantile trade.  As a matter of fact, this last profession was a favorite of Jews in the Sephardic world too.  Even the Rambam's brother, upon vowing to support the Rambam's learning for a portion of the Rambam's Olam HaBa, was a World or International Trader.  In so many ways, the surest yet riskiest way to wealth in the world was for Jews in both the Xtian and the Muslim world to be involved in global trade for 1900 years.  Sadly the Rambam's brother died on one of his global trade expeditions.  Yet, Global or World Trade was the key to accessing the sweet fruit of the hands of Man over the course of our long exile even with those risks.  So on that very day dedicated to rejecting those sweet fruits for the bitter fruits of Eretz Yisrael, those Two Towers of World Trade came a tumbling down.  And many Jews understood that message, and in the early 2000s came on Aliyah.

So over the course of 80 years, we have passed from the 17th of Elul through the 23rd or the 24th of Elul to what potentially could be Rosh HaShanah of total freedom to be with our King in the Holy Land, free from all encumbrances with the gentile world.  I am not saying for sure that this is that year when the Dove finally comes to rest in Eretz Yisrael on Rosh HaShanah, but our 80 years of Gevurot seem to be climaxing because of this coming election.

Those who read this blog know that I have written extensively about how Bibi Netanyahu is the last leader before Mashiach comes based on the Yichus of this last leader described meticulously in Zecharia 12.  As that last leader is assassinated by the Erev Rav (or forced to leave politics because of looming phony indictments), Ben David rises in the chaos.  That chaos can easily be created by a second election in which no one can form a government.  From Zecharia 12 we see that this last leader must be from the House of Natan..... check.  He must be a Levite ...... check.  And he must intensely hold to the mantle of Shimi ben Geira to destroy Amaeleq in the Persian Empire ....... check.  Bibi has all three yichus points to his name.  He IS that leader.  Now since Rav Meir Kahane zt"l, the last Mashiach ben Yosef to die a violent death was for all intents and purposes murdered by ARMiLuS (Ehud OLMeRT, notice the same consonants) when Olmert wrote the Kach Law banning him from the Knesset.  (2 years later Kahane was murdered by an assassin.)  So Bibi, does not have to suffer the same fate at the hands of Armilus, and he may yet survive, albeit after passing the scepter of leadership over to Mashiach as he is forced to leave the scene.  In short, with this election we are about to enter the Zecharia 12 Twilight Zone.  On that note, we should see an opening for Mashiach ben David to enter from stage right, even if none of the candidates running is Mashiach himself...., but one of them might very well be Mashiach's Lawyer in the Erev Rav Courts and in the dungeons where Shabak can hold young men for months on end without a Writ of Habeas Corpus.  One such man was Meir Ettinger who was the leader of the Yordei Duma, those falsely accused of arson/ murder by Shabak, in the Duma Arson case.  He was held without trial and without charge and without evidence for 10 full months.  On that note, I introduce to you, his Attorney during those dark months, Itamar ben Gvir.

I am voting for Otzma now for sure since they have now crossed the Kav Chassimah in at least 7 different polls in one week since Feiglin, blessedly, dropped out.

I believe that Itamar ben Gvir is NOT Mashiach, but he is very likely Mashiach's lawyer in the lowly Erev Rav Courts and in the dungeon's of Shabak's Jewish Division torture chambers.  I am sure that they have a 500 year old Torqemada torture rack which they proudly used against Meir Ettinger and the other Yordei Duma, those tortured by Shabak to extract confessions when they were trying to frame young "hilltop" youth for the Duma Arson/Murder case.  Writ of Habeas Corpus?  Are you kidding?  There is no such burden of evidence to torture 20 or 25 year old idealists here in Israel.  But, there was Itamar ben Gvir the entire time trying to defend the rights of young men who technically had no rights.

So if you want to open of the door for Mashiach ben David as Bibi stumbles and for the second time in a row is not able to form a government, you have no choice but to vote for OTZMA YEHUDIT.   Right now, Otzma is on a knife's edge.  There is a chance that he will not cross the 3.25% of the vote necessary to get at least 4 seats in the Knesset.  So only vote for him if you are sick and tired of the sheker that this country's political system runs on while at least voting for a party with a greater than 50% chance of getting the minimum votes.  Otzma should have been included in Yamina's umbrella technical bloc, but because of Sinat Chinam on Rosh Chodesh Av, Otzma was not included in that technical bloc, and Ayelet Shaked failed in her potential role as Ayelet HaShachar.  So perhaps, perhaps, this is the way, Mashiach's lawyer might get his foot into the door as the Levite grandson of the House of Natan falters.

From Ayin to Dalet in Qriat Shema: The Secret Geulah Code in the Torah

It has been months, and I have not posted anything new.  Perhaps because of the status quo and a bursting forth of G-d's blessing on the American economy for moving their Embassy to Yerushalayim and for Trump's withdrawal from the Iran Nuclear Deal, Geulah could not progress.  If Mashiach were to come in a very pleasant way, 5778 was the year.  It was the end of a 70 year cycle of Chevlei Mashiach which began with the founding of the State of Israel in 5708.  The hints for this are in many places.  But here is the one that is directly from next week's Torah portion VaYechi Chapter 49:

  לֹא-יָסוּר שֵׁבֶט מִיהוּדָה, וּמְחֹקֵק מִבֵּין רַגְלָיו, עַד כִּי-יָבֹא שִׁילֹה, וְלוֹ יִקְּהַת עַמִּים. 10 The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor the ruler's staff (or engraving tool) from between his feet, as long as men come to Shiloh (or Until Shilo comes); and unto him shall the obedience of the peoples be.
יא  אֹסְרִי לַגֶּפֶן עִירֹה, וְלַשֹּׂרֵקָה בְּנִי אֲתֹנוֹ; כִּבֵּס בַּיַּיִן לְבֻשׁוֹ, וּבְדַם-עֲנָבִים סוּתֹה. 11 Binding his foal (or his City) unto the vine, and his ass's colt unto the choice vine; he washeth his garments in wine, and his vesture in the blood of grapes;
יב  חַכְלִילִי עֵינַיִם, מִיָּיִן; וּלְבֶן-שִׁנַּיִם, מֵחָלָב.  {פ} 12 His eyes shall be red with wine, and his teeth white with milk.

This of course is the blessing that Ya'akov Avinu gave to Yehudah when all Ya'akov's sons gathered around him to hear him tell them what would happen to them at the End of Days.  So the blessing to Yehudah is obviously significant for the coming of Mashiach.  The blessing is definitely shrouded in esoteric meaning.  On the simple level it mght be difficult to understand.  Believe it or not, Shiloh may be a reference to the present (and prayerfully last) Prime Minister of the lowly pre-Messianic kingdom established by the Erev Rav.  It means Gift to him (Shai Lo)  Why would the present PM deserve to get this honorable mention in the Torah?  because when Yehudah came down to Egypt, he was able to bring Binyamin down with him for his hidden brother Yosef to see ONLY if he would swear to his father that he, Yehudah, would accept upon himself whatever would be decreed upon Binyamin.  He would become Binyamin's Areiv (Guarantor) for Binyamin's safety in Mitzraim.  Yehudah had teshuvah to do.  It was his idea that Yosef should be sold into slavery so that Shimon and Leivi would not end of executing him for threatening through his dreams to lord over them.   So Yehudah had the "brilliant" idea that he knew his brothers would accept.  Let us sell Yosef to the Yishmaelite merchants headed to Mitzraim rather than murdering him.  As far as the lesser of two evils go, Yehudah had it right, but Kidnapping is also a capital offense.  So when it came time to bring the only full blood brother of Yosef down to Mitzraim, Yehudah offered himself up as Binyamin's Areiv, that he himself would go into slavery so that Binyamin would be able to return to his father.  Yehudah understood the true essence of teshuvah that when given an identical set of circumstances with a brother from the same mother that Yehudah sold into slavery, in this case Yehudah himself would become the slave.  So down they went to Egypt with Binyamin as the mysterious 2nd to Pharaoh had demanded.  The silver goblet that Yosef claimed to use for Divination purposes was found in Binyamin's sack, and Yosef says that Binyamin will now become his slave.  Yehudah stands up and says, No!  Binyamin goes back to their father in Canaan, and he Yehudah will become Yosef's slave for life in Binyamin's stead!  Yosef sees that at least the one who recommended that he should be sold into slavery has done a full repentance.  He reveals himself to his brothers before they figure out that the Second to Pharaoh is their long lost brother in one of the epic moments in world history.  So suddenly both Yosef and Binyamin are bawling tears on each other's shoulders as the stunned brothers stand around bewildered over what has just happened, realizing that at least one of Yosef's dreams had just transpired, for all 11 sheaves of wheat (all 11 brothers including Binyamin) had bowed down to Yosef just as he had dreamed 22 years prior.  And Rashi says, "Yosef is crying for the two Holy of Holies that were destroyed in Binyamin's territory during the destructions of the First and Second Temple while Yosef is bawling for the Mishkan that was destined to be destroyed in Shilo in Yosef's territory because of the poor behavior of Eli, the High Priest's, two sons Pinchus and Chofni.  So while Yehudah was trying to repent for his great sin, a sin whose taste we suffer from till this present day for all sins that are Bein Adam leChaveiro, HaShem had other plans... which is usually the case.  Yehudah had brought Binyamin down to Mitzraim unbeknownst to him as a long lost "Gift" to his brother Yosef.  So at the End of Days HaShem vowed to Yehudah that He (YKWK) would bring Binyamin to Yerushalayim as a "gift to him or Shai lo", to Mashiach ben David.  Binyamin Natan Yahu (YKW gives Binyamin) or Shilo would therefore be the last PM before Mashiach comes.  So in Ya'akov's blessing, this is at least in part the meaning of the first verse above.

Continued for later......  There will be several entries for this topic since it is a rather lengthy one. 

Guatemala: The 2nd Nation

Guatemala with a little less fanfare than the American opening became the second country to move their Embassy from Tel Aviv to Yerushalayim today.  I thought that I should note the following:

Thank you to the descendants of another great ancient Civilization, the Mayans. They are the nation of Ophir ben Yoktan (Yucatan) who sent tons of gold (420 kikar of gold to be exact) to King Shlomo to build the First Temple in Yerushalayim, dutifully recorded in the Book of Kings. In the great merit of those who sent the gold from the Biblical El Dorado for this holy purpose, you have been given the privilege to be the second nation to open your Embassy in the City of Yerushalayim of Gold.

UPDATE: For those who may want a source as to how we know that the descendants of Yoktan went to the New World, we have the following verses from Chapter 10 of Bereishit:
ה  וּלְעֵבֶר יֻלַּד, שְׁנֵי בָנִים:  שֵׁם הָאֶחָד פֶּלֶג, כִּי בְיָמָיו נִפְלְגָה הָאָרֶץ, וְשֵׁם אָחִיו, יָקְטָן. 25 And unto Eber were born two sons; the name of the one was Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother's name was Yoktan.
כו  וְיָקְטָן יָלַד, אֶת-אַלְמוֹדָד וְאֶת-שָׁלֶף, וְאֶת-חֲצַרְמָוֶת, וְאֶת-יָרַח. 26 And Yoktan begot Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah;
כז  וְאֶת-הֲדוֹרָם וְאֶת-אוּזָל, וְאֶת-דִּקְלָה. 27 and Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah;
כח  וְאֶת-עוֹבָל וְאֶת-אֲבִימָאֵל, וְאֶת-שְׁבָא. 28 and Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba;

כט  וְאֶת-אוֹפִר וְאֶת-חֲוִילָה, וְאֶת-יוֹבָב; כָּל-אֵלֶּה, בְּנֵי יָקְטָן. 29 and Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab; all these were the sons of Yoktan.

Some commentators refer to "the earth was divided" statement as referring to the Dispersion of the nations at the Tower of Bavel.  The problem with that interpretation is that all 70 nations were dispersed, not just Peleg and Yoktan.  So the verse must refer to something else, something that G-d knew and that our sages may have not known about because of the generation in which they lived.  The fact is that HaShem created a vast ocean between EurAsia/ Africa and the Americas.  The ancients knew that this expanse existed.  Apparently, the sons of Eber who were Peleg and Yoktan decided to split the world between them.  The descendants of Peleg stayed in EurAsia/ Africa while the descendants of Yoktan eventually went to the Americas.  I heard this in the name of Rav Matityahu Glazierson Shlit"a.  I will have to find his discussion on this another time.  There is another implication from all this.  Notice that Yoktan had a son whose name was also Chavilah, just like Kush had a son with the identical name.  We learn from the 2nd chapter of Bereishit that the River Pishon flows around the Land of Chavilah, but the Torah does not tell us WHICH Chavilah.  If it is the Chavilah, the son of Kush, the reference would be to the Nile River as being the River Pishon, but if it is the Chavilah in the New World, then PiShoN might be the MiSSiSSiPPi.  Notice that Pishon is the name Mississippi backwards using Grimm's Laws of etymology where Ns and Ms are linguistically interchangeable.  So while Ophir stayed and built his Civilization around the Yucatan Peninsula, Chavilah migrated north to another Pre-Columbian Civilization in the Mid- Mississippi River Valley.  A larger discussion of the implications of this can continue in the Comments.  

A Pence for My Thoughts: A Hint About the Face of G-d at the End of Days.

So Michael Pence has in his name Peni'el, Pen from Pence and Keil from Micha'el, the mighty prince of Israel who informed Avraham and Sarah at this time, next year, you will have a son, a son who will be circumcised on the 8th day. So Ya'akov received the name Yisrael at Alot HaShachar after the all night wrestling match with SamKel (the angel of Edom). There are 72 minutes between Alot HaShachar and sunrise, 70 years of birthpangs + 2 years of Chezkat Mashiach while Mashiach proves himself. So how do we know that we are entering those final two years before sunrise? From the following in Bereishit 32:

כה וַיִּוָּתֵר יַעֲקֹב, לְבַדּוֹ; וַיֵּאָבֵק אִישׁ עִמּוֹ, עַד עֲלוֹת הַשָּׁחַר. 25 And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day (Alot HaShachar).
כו וַיַּרְא, כִּי לֹא יָכֹל לוֹ, וַיִּגַּע, בְּכַף-יְרֵכוֹ; וַתֵּקַע כַּף-יֶרֶךְ יַעֲקֹב, בְּהֵאָבְקוֹ עִמּוֹ. 26 And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was strained (The Holocaust, a very deep wound resulting from a Churban at the end of the dark night just before Alot HaShachar.   Me'am Loez said this sinew corresponds with the negative commandment against Rechilut.  There are 365 sinews in the human body, and there are 365 negative commandments including the mitzvah against Rechilut (talebearing).  In this case the talebearing was the talebearing of  bar Kamtza against Kamtza which destroyed the 2nd Temple.), as he wrestled with him.

כז וַיֹּאמֶר שַׁלְּחֵנִי, כִּי עָלָה הַשָּׁחַר; וַיֹּאמֶר לֹא אֲשַׁלֵּחֲךָ, כִּי אִם-בֵּרַכְתָּנִי. 27 And he said: 'Let me go, for the dawn breaketh.' And he said: 'I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.'
כח וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו, מַה-שְּׁמֶךָ; וַיֹּאמֶר, יַעֲקֹב. 28 And he said unto him: 'What is thy name?' And he said: 'Jacob.'
כט וַיֹּאמֶר, לֹא יַעֲקֹב יֵאָמֵר עוֹד שִׁמְךָ--כִּי, אִם-יִשְׂרָאֵל: כִּי-שָׂרִיתָ עִם-אֱלֹהִים וְעִם-אֲנָשִׁים, וַתּוּכָל. 29 And he said: 'Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel; for thou hast striven with God and with men, and hast prevailed.'the founding of the State of Israel at Alot HaShachar in 5708
ל וַיִּשְׁאַל יַעֲקֹב, וַיֹּאמֶר הַגִּידָה-נָּא שְׁמֶךָ, וַיֹּאמֶר, לָמָּה זֶּה תִּשְׁאַל לִשְׁמִי; וַיְבָרֶךְ אֹתוֹ, שָׁם. 30 And Jacob asked him, and said: 'Tell me, I pray thee, thy name.' And he said: 'Wherefore is it that thou dost ask after my name?' And he, (the angel of Edom) blessed him there.
לא וַיִּקְרָא יַעֲקֹב שֵׁם הַמָּקוֹם, פְּנִיאֵל: כִּי-רָאִיתִי אֱלֹהִים פָּנִים אֶל-פָּנִים, וַתִּנָּצֵל נַפְשִׁי. 31 And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: 'for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.'
לב וַיִּזְרַח-לוֹ הַשֶּׁמֶשׁ, כַּאֲשֶׁר עָבַר אֶת-פְּנוּאֵל; וְהוּא צֹלֵעַ, עַל-יְרֵכוֹ. 32 And the sun rose upon him as he passed over Penu'el, and he limped upon his thigh.(72 minutes after Alot HaShachar which is likely 72 years since 5708).

Now I can hear already the shouting and the screaming.  Michael Pence is a Trinitarian.  He is a Xtian who may or may not believe in the mangod as his god or as G-d's partner in addition to the Creator of the Universe as G-d Himself.  So I simply point out, that it is the angel of Edom who wrestled with Ya'akov, and it is THAT angel who blesses Ya'akov at Alot HaShachar BEFORE the Truth of G-d's Oneness has become obvious to Mankind.  That only takes place at Sunrise, 72 minutes later.  And wow, did Mike Pence deliver in his speech before the Knesset.  He issued brachot since Rosh Chodesh Shevat that cannot be taken back.  We have no idea if Donald Trump might "change his mind" about Eretz Yisrael because he thinks that he can put into motion the real estate deal of the century and with his chutzpah, might bring world peace.  I realize that Donald Trump according to observations of rational people, is emotionally "unreliable" and that he, like the kings of ancient Persia from whom his soul root seems to come, might change his mind on a whim of intense emotion.  On the other hand, he seems to be doing teshuvah, and the man who ran for President is now more grounded in a complementary set of moral principles than the man who was running for POTUS in 5776.  And by the way, in this sphere of making and implementing stable and consistent policies, Pence is very emotionally stable and emotionally reliable.  And for sure, there was never a question in the General election.  The Suha Arafat hugging Amaleqia whom he ran against in the General election would have been ten thousand times more evil than Trump could have ever hoped to be.  If she, the Hilly in Oholibama, the Hivite snake, had won, we would already hear the roar of international troops intent of making Judea and Samaria and half of Yerushalayim Judenrein in the Jordan Valley sent by UN Sec Council decree, G-d forbid.  So Baruch HaShem, HaShem has been kind, and now that the time to receive Edom's brachah has arrived, it has arrived in spades.  "And he has recognized us as the same people who received the Torah and settled the land for over 1300 years from 2488 until the destruction of the 2nd Temple in 3830 and the crushing of the bar Kochba Revolt 65 years later in 3895.  They, he and his boss, have recognized our eternal connection to the Holy City where G-d Himself has dwelt in our midst where He Himself has placed His Holy Name.  Even if the former Rav of the British Empire, Yonatan Sacks Shlit"a, wrote half of his speech, Mike Pence sought him out to help him reach a spiritual height in order to dispense a brachah from the mouth of an angel that no change of policy on a whim can possible remove.  

If you want to comment on why there is a S sounding ending at the end of V.P. Pence's last name, by all means let me know.  I have not yet figured that one out.  In light of all this, I would love to link to this beautiful song written and originally performed by Rav Shlomo Carlbach.  It is one of his 600 melodies that he wrote in his lifetime.  During his lifetime, it was not one of his most popular melodies, and it seems to have been given a revival as other artists have sung this song posthumously, including this version by Mordechai ben David.  It is now a mainstay at every Jewish wedding.  Perhaps its latent popularity is because we all know deep down that those 72 years are reaching completion.  I commented on the Youtube page about this video. 

Stormwinds of Yemen, the Final Blast of the Shofar

For a Refuah Sheleimah of Menachem ben Rifka of the Absolute Truth 613 Blog.

I published this two years ago, and the missile that the Houthi rebels shot over the Riyadh civilian airport that the Saudis had to shoot down was shot on the Fourth of November 2017, exactly two years after this post.  Now this is the second time in the last two months where I have reposted a post that I wrote two years ago.  There is a message in that.  Perhaps, without predicting, the events of 5775 and 5776, the Shmittah and Yovel years, have simply been transposed to 5777 and 5778, two years later.  This was the message that I wrote about when the Cubs won the World Series in the Fall of 2016 in one of my posts about how HaShem for awhile there was trying to get His message out through Sports.  The (Bear)Cubs won in 7 games in Extra Innings by a score of 8 to 7 in that 7th Game!.  So we are now in overtime after the Yovel year in 5776, and the events of 5777 and 5778 where "The Spiritual Bears" or Dubiel, Russia and Persia, are now taking over the World!  And they won over the Cleveland Indians which is if everyone remembers, America in KaleivLand which is Middle Heartland America at -50.  KaleivLand here in Israel, the Hevron/ Kiryat Arba/ Othniel/ Hevron Hills metroplex is the first place in Israel to potentially reach the 50th Gate of purity Even before Yerushalayim reaches it!  Why? Because in order to reach the 50th Gate bein Adam leMakom in Yerushalayim, the nation or the nation's spiritual representatives in these places must first reach the 50th Gate bein Adam veChaVeiRo in CheVRon and in the Chevron Hills in places like Othniel.  Notice the word Chaveiro is the essence of the name Chevron.   It is why the Avot chose to live out their lives there along with some sojourns further south to Beer Sheva.  They wanted to reach the 50th level bein Adam leChaveiro in the place on earth most conducive to reaching that level, and only on very special occasions did they travel to Har Moriah or Ir Shalem to serve G-d bein Adam leMakom.  A telling lesson for today and in ancient times.  It was so important that the Qorbon tamid for Shacharit could not be offered up in Yerushalayim until the sun had risen in Chevron!  So on the opposite end of this scale was America at -50, a dubious distinction that was reached in the Early Summer of 5776 when Omar Mateen walked into that homosexual bar on Shavuot night, (the 49th anniversary of the beginning of the Summer of Promiscuous love in San Francisco) and murdered 49 homosexuals in which he himself became the 50th dead body in that bar at Alot HaShachar on Shavuot morning when the SWAT team burst through the wall and brought him down in a hail of bullets.  One month later the Republicans coronated their candidate Donald Trump in Kaleivland, Ohio (a city founded by MOSES CLEAVELAND) AFTER America had already sunk to that dubious level of cultural quicksand, -50.  The fact that in both cases, Kaleiv's lands in Israel and in America were bequeathed directly by MOSES or Moshe Rabbeinu, made both places conducive to reaching the 50th Gate before everyone else who was awarded their portion in a lottery conducted by Moshe's Assistant, Yehoshua bin Nun.  So the Lands of Kaleiv were bequeathed directly by Moshe with no lottery in the next generation being necessary.  But alas, America, actually the Middle America of American culture was given a full year to repent of falling to this level under the leadership of their miraculously elected leader, Donald Trump.  And that year concluded, and America in cultural quicksand is disintegrating so badly that plaques honoring where George Washington sat in church are being removed by his Virginia congregation because like Robert E. Lee, George Washington was a slave owner!

Now I will agree that Mashiach did not come and that the Messianic Era was not "born" by the end of Sukkot 5777.  It was not destined that Persia should fall into the hands of Rome over the course of the nine months allotted for that to happen.  This is hinted at in the Gemorrah in Yoma 10 even if it is not explicitly stated.  Here is the entire section of the Gemorrah in question from Halakhah.com:

Rabbah b. Bar Hana in the name of R. Johanan, on the authority of R. Judah b. Ila'i, said: Rome is designed to fall into the hands of Persia, that may be concluded by inference a minori ad majus: If in the case of the first Sanctuary, which the sons of Shem [Solomon] built and the Chaldeans (Babylonians) destroyed, the Chaldeans fell into the hands of the Persians,37 then how much more should this be so with the second Sanctuary, which the Persians built and the Romans destroyed, that the Romans should fall into the hands of the Persians.38 Rav said: Persia will fall into the hands of Rome. Thereupon R. Kahana and R. Assi asked of Rav: [Shall] the builders (Persia) fall into the hands of the destroyers (Rome)? — He said to them: Yes, it is the decree of the King.39 Others say: He replied to them: They too are guilty for they destroyed the synagogues. It has also been taught in accord with the above, Persia will fall into the hands of Rome, first because they destroyed the synagogues, and then because it is the King's decree that the builders fall into the hands of the destroyers. Rav also said: The son of David will not come until the wicked kingdom of Rome will have spread [its sway] over the whole world for nine months, as it is said: Therefore will He give them up, until the time that she who travaileth hath brought forth; then the residue of his brethren shall return with the children of Israel.40

Now that last verse is from Micah 5 which foretells the final nine months of Olam HaZeh before Mashiachzeit, or Yemot HaMashiach is "born".  Notice the juxtaposition.  First Rav says that Persia will fall into the hands of Rome because the King decrees  that those who built the Temple should fall into the hands of those who destroyed it (Rome) and like Rome, Persia also destroyed synagogues.  Then the Gemorrah does what it often does and quotes other things that Rav said about Rome.  In this case he basically repeats himself by saying the same thing a different way!  In order for Rome to hold sway over the world for nine months, Persia must either fall  into the hands of Rome DURING those nine months or at the end of those nine months.  In short the bipolar world has to become a unipolar world because Persia falls into the hands of Rome.  The other possibility is that Persia "pretends" to keep all treaties that it is a party to signing during those nine months while silently working on its military expansion plans under the surface.  This way Rome would appear to hold sway for nine months, and after nine months Persia would cease to hide its intentions!  Well this is precisely what has happened.  After the first nine months of Trump's Presidency, Persia is becoming a menace to the entire world  The Sunni Arabs are waking up and smelling the coffee!  So what this also seems to mean is that Persia WILL NOT fall into the hands of Rome but will instead with Russian material help go forth to try to take over the world in overtime, this 8th year of the 578th decade, the 5770s.  And this time it is unclear if Rome can stop her.  As a matter of fact, there is no reason to assume that Rome can really stop Persia at all after these first nine months, but Rome will now try.

Now to bring the year 5777 to a close, I must first answer what did happen on Hoshana Rabbah 5778 at the end of the year?  Well it happened in N. Korea at their Nuke Mountain.  After testing N. Korea's first Hydrogen bomb in Elul 5777, the mountain underneath the caps on the mountain became very unstable.  Then on either the eve of Hoshana Rabbah or on Hoshana Rabbah night itself, the foundation of that mountain collapsed killing 100 people immediately and another 100 people when a rescue team was sent to rescue then while the foundation of Nuke Mountain completely gave way!   Yet, all this news was completely hidden from the world for three weeks after the fact.  Only less than two weeks ago did this news come out, perhaps because the foundation collapse of Nuke Mountain was so complete that nuclear by-products may have entered the groundwater that North Korea shares with China!  This is a temporary setback for Un's nuclear program.  He has lost his main test facility, and he probably needs to build another somewhere perhaps under the same mountain but in a parallel shaft.  Also while he has continued to shoot off his mouth at Trump, just today calling him an old lunatic, he has not shot off any missiles since Sukkot.  He is obviously restructuring his efforts after the catastrophe at Nuke Mountain.  So where do we see all this in the Torah.  Well we see it in the 5777th pasuk of the Torah itself, Rav Levi Saadia Nahmani's favorite pasuk when dealing with N. Korea (Deut. 32:22):

 כִּי-אֵשׁ קָדְחָה בְאַפִּי,  {ר}  וַתִּיקַד עַד-שְׁאוֹל תַּחְתִּית;  {ס}  וַתֹּאכַל אֶרֶץ וִיבֻלָהּ,  {ר}  וַתְּלַהֵט מוֹסְדֵי הָרִים.  {ס 22 For a fire is kindled in My nostril, and burns like a drill unto the depths of the nether-world (Sheoul), and devoureth the earth with her produce, and setteth ablaze the foundations of the mountains.

So right here in this pasuk we see both, the California fires that destroyed the grapevines in Napa Valley wine country and the destruction of the foundation of N. Korea's Nuke Mountain on Hoshana Rabbah!  And that destruction came from the blast of the Hydrogen bomb during the months of Elul under the cap of Nuke Mountain.  So rather than destroying Seoul with a blast of HaShem's nostrils just to the south of the 38th parallel, the explosion literally went downwards inside that mountain!  Yet, the crops that would have been destroyed by a nuclear missile against Norther California were destroyed by the worst wildfires in California history instead!  So at least for this past year, the Fire was contained for those who deserved it most:  The North Koreans and their nuclear ambitions and the State in the United States and the area where it began that sent the United States on its 50 year plunge toward the Abyss, San Francisco, California.  At least in round one, the good people of Seoul did not deserve to be a target of G-d's Wrath.  Half of them study Talmud because they want to learn the Wisdom of the Jews even if they learn it from dry sources.  There is something to be said about a culture that wants to give so much kavod to G-dly wisdom.  So, Baruch HaShem, Seoul was spared, round One.

Now all along we have been saying that this final war will be a two front war.  1. The Korean Front in the Western Pacific and 2. the Iranian front specifically around Batzrah, the Shiite stronghold in southern Iraq at the confluence to two of the four Rivers that come out of Gan Eden, the Chidekel (Tigris) and the Euphrates.   We learn this from the verse quoted in the Zohar VaEira 32a itself about a war at the edge of the world, that the L-rd will have a sacrifice in Batzrah and a Great Slaughter in the Land of Edom (Yishayahu 34).  The only way that this verse could have anything to do with that passage in the Zohar about a war with a nation at the edge of the world (at the international dateline) is if that nation, North Korea, has an unbreakable alliance with the Shiite powers who control the City of Batzrah.  And that Shiite power is Iran.  So until now it was not clear which front of this war would explode first, the North Korean theater or the Persian theater.  But what was clear from so many years ago, the place in the Persian theater of the Yalkut Shimoni war starting with a machloket between Persia and the King of Arabia that would first explode in the Middle East was in Yemen.  And now I present my post on this matter from two years ago with some additions:

  I wanted to help you complete the picture from the perspective of Emunah. We have been Crowning HaShem as King of the Universe every Rosh HaShanah since Sinai with blasts of the Shofar. The three final p'sukim in Musaph Rosh HaShanah dealing with the blasts of the Shofar (Shofarot) provide the key to the Final Redemption, the three blasts of the Shofar in Nevua for the Acharit HaYamim. The Third blast, the Stormwinds of Teiman (Yemen) has JUST OCCURRED! This is a post on my blog from almost precisely two years ago. I should point out that the missile from Yemen last Saturday night took place on the 16th of MarCheshvan, the Day before G-d Judged the entire world at the time of the Great Flood.

HaShem has been setting up Chess pieces for quite a while. There has now been a Hurricane in Teiman on Tuesday for the first time ever (This was a truly freak hurricane from two years ago). It is the last Shofar blast of the trilogy of shofar blasts at the end of Days. Look at Musaph Rosh HaShanah for the last three pasukim mentioned by the Nevi'im dealing with Blowing the Shofar to set the stage for the advent of Mashiach:.

And through Your servants, the Prophets, the following is written:

1. כָּל-יֹשְׁבֵי תֵבֵל, וְשֹׁכְנֵי אָרֶץ, כִּנְשֹׂא-נֵס הָרִים תִּרְאוּ, וְכִתְקֹעַ שׁוֹפָר תִּשְׁמָעוּ.
(Yishayahu 18:3) All the inhabitants of the earth and dwellers on the land, You will see like the raising of a flag (the Israeli flag) in the mountains, and like the blast of a Shofar you will hear.

This was the founding of the State of Israel in 5708. That was the first shofar blast. It was "Like" the blast of a shofar because the State of Israel was founded by the Erev Rav. The Erev Rav has provided a cocoon for Torah Judaism to grow and thrive without bringing on the wrath of the nations of the world that they would send troops to destroy the upstart State. So the Modern State by virtue of the fact that it behaves like the Western nations of the world, has fooled the Satan to allow nourishment for the future Messianic State while functioning at the level of statecraft like a Western country. So its founding was LIKE the blast of a Shofar.

2. וְהָיָה בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא, יִתָּקַע בְּשׁוֹפָר גָּדוֹל, וּבָאוּ הָאֹבְדִים בְּאֶרֶץ אַשּׁוּר, וְהַנִּדָּחִים בְּאֶרֶץ מִצְרָיִם; וְהִשְׁתַּחֲווּ לַיהוָה בְּהַר הַקֹּדֶשׁ, בִּירוּשָׁלִָם.

(Yishayahu 27:13) And it will be on that very day, a Great Shofar Blast will be blown, and the Lost ones (Russian Jews) in/from the Land of Ashur, and Castaways (Ethiopian Jews) in/from the Land of Egypt will come and bow before HaShem at His Holy Mountain in Yerushalayim.

This was the famous incident of the Ingathering of the Exiles that the Vilna Gaon spoke about for the years 5750 and 5751 because those years marked the 3/4 mark of the 6th millennium as if they were three quarters of the way through the 6th day of the week. At High Noon on Yom Shishi, shofar blowers would ascend the mountains of Israel to blow the shofar to call Israel in from her fields to prepare for Shabbat. So it would be the case 3/4 of the way through the 6th millennium. The davening at His Holy Mountain has not yet occurred.....yet, but the ingathering surely picked up speed in those two fateful years. Russian Jewry was a lost Jewry who lost its connection to Judaism while Ethiopian Jewry survived isolated in Ethiopia as a castaway nation when porters from the sacking of Mitzraim by Assyria were no longer needed by the Assyrian Army. So the porters from the Shevatim of Dan, Naftali, and Asher wandered down to Ethiopia to join the Queen of Sheba's existing Jewish country from 300 years prior. They survived beyond the River Sanbat, the tributary to the Nile River known by the gentiles as the Blue Nile whose source is from Lake Gondar in Gondar Province in Ethiopia. The bulk of the Ethiopian community that came during Op. Shlomo and Sheba were redeemed on Shabbat, the one day per week when the waters of the Sanbat River were placid.

Finally, the last Shofar blast in the trio of prophetic shofar blasts heralding the coming of Mashiach

3. וַיהוָה עֲלֵיהֶם יֵרָאֶה, וְיָצָא כַבָּרָק חִצּוֹ; וַאדֹנָי יְהוִה בַּשּׁוֹפָר יִתְקָע, וְהָלַךְ בְּסַעֲרוֹת תֵּימָן

(Zecharia 9:14) And HaShem was seen above them (watching our misery under the thumb of the Erev Rav), and His arrow will go forth like lightning. And the L-rd G-d will blow the Shofar, and go forth in the stormwinds of Teiman (Yemen). As if it were on cue suddenly, the news comes out:

This is the third and final shofar blast of the Final Redemption..... The Stormwinds of Yemen. This is why the last war had to begin in Yemen.  And the first shot of this war was fired by the Iranian supported and armed Houthi rebels when they shot a missile over the Riyadh, Saudi Arabian domestic airport on the night of the 16th of MarCheshvan 5778.  

Now how long will it take for this war to finally get really hot?  I will tell you right now.....  I don't know, and I won't hazard any guesses.  But the beauty of what is happening is that the last War has begun!

The Tehillim 91 Sukkot Harvest Festival in Las Vegas, Nevada

This post will be in Note form since preparing for Sukkot is the busiest time of the year.  There is no busier time for a man than the two days before Chag Sukkot.  I believe that there is as much pressure on a Jewish man before Sukkot as there is on a Jewish woman before Pesach.  Of course that is my opinion.  You are free to differ.:

H.T.: J. R. Ewing of Dallas, Texas, in the other land of Gog who, along with his father from Houston, tried to build a 33 story roof over the world called the New World Order... The roof seems to have sprung a Tumah leak on the 32nd floor.

Sukkah spelled with a Vav (סוכה) is 91: The Vilna Gaon said that there are 91 varieties of non-kosher sukkahs in Mesechtat Sukkah, and there are 85 varieties of kosher sukkahs spelled without a Vav (סכה) in that mesechta.

Aldean, the Country singer who was completing his concert, means (This is) about judgement.

Esav pretends that he rises to the 33rd level of purity in order to serve G-d for the purpose of making money by having a chazakah on the Mon at the 33rd level of purity, the third time that the Mon fell.  Yet, he only rises to the 32 2/3 level of purity because he never shed that third tear when tears welled up in his eyes upon losing the brachah.  Paddock was "lodged" in a room on the 32nd floor when he submachine gunned the Country Music crowd of 22,000 fans.  He was shooting through a 32nd story window.  Apparently, Divine Protection has been removed from America almost completely.  The 33 degree FreeMasonic roof has sprung a leak of Tumah.   The FreeMasonic sukkah is not kosher since it is spelled with a Vav with the gematriah of 91.  Plus it was established by Gog Washington, and Gog refers to a roof with with no holes in it.  If you have a hole in your roof (gag), you will either need to patch the hole in your roof or build a whole new roof.  So when Gog Washington established the Great American sukkah in the 31st century after Matan Torah, his intent was that two centuries later at the end of 33 centuries, another Gog would patch up the Roof.  Well as I mentioned above, that NWO roof seems to have sprung a leak.  

I should point out that there really is not a  US Route 91 in Las Vegas that I could find on my road atlas.  There are two US routes that go north and south through Las Vegas (Route 93 and Route 95).  Plus what do they harvest in the Nevada desert?  So this concert was only aptly named on a spiritual level since there is no harvest in the desert around Las Vegas and since there seems to no Route 91 in Las Vegas itself.  I am open to being shown that there is a Route 91 there.  

Tehillim 91 begins:

א יֹשֵׁב, בְּסֵתֶר עֶלְיוֹן; בְּצֵל שַׁדַּי, יִתְלוֹנָן. 1 O thou that dwellest in the covert of the Most High, and LODGES in the shadow of the Almighty;
ב אֹמַר--לַיהוָה, מַחְסִי וּמְצוּדָתִי; אֱלֹהַי, אֶבְטַח-בּוֹ. 2 I will say of the LORD, who is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust,

Over the years, many of America's sins have been overlooked.  The Name of HaShem that is used to represent the attribute of Erech Apaim is Shadai.  He suspended judgement on those sins.  The Hebrew word Yitlonan (יִתְלוֹנָן) means (he, the man in G-d's shadow) will lodge as in a hotel (מלון) room.  So to lodge in the Shadow of Shakai provides much security because G-d is suspending judgement on your sins at least for a certain year.  But if He no longer suspends judgement, then we see what we just saw in Vegas right after Rosh HaShanah since that man, Stephen Paddock, was either not lodging in G-d's shadow or he was when he executed G-d's judgement.  May the 515 injured from this heinous crime have a complete recovery.  Amein.  

The Pouring Forth of the Plagues of Submersion Under Water

Since I have very little time in the Coming few days to write an extensive post, I am posting here a whole Sea of Ideas in somewhat jumbled form about what is going on with all these Water plagues, the First Plagues of the Final Redemption corresponding with the Vav in HaShem's Name, right now.  Remember to Read carefully my post with all of its over 400 Comments about Meidad's Prophesy about GogUMagog in the Camp of Israel, a post from over two years ago:  Meidad's Prophesy in the Camp 

Here are my "jumbled" ideas.  There is a pouring out of G-d's Wrath along with His attempt to get us all to repent at this time.  Sorry about the jumbled nature of things.  Time is so Short.

We may have up to four Water Submersion Plagues in the month of Elul alone!! OM G-d. Water submersion plagues begin this final redemption because the Ark of Noah was submerged 11 Amot in the waters of the Mabul referring to the Vav and the Final Hey in HaShem's Name through which we are redeemed in the Final Redemption. The Redemption from Mitzraim was with the Yud and the Hey in His Holy Name. For this reason the Waters of the Flood rose 15 Amot above Mt. Ararat. The Yud was the ten plagues in Egypt, and the Hey was the the five times multiplier at the YamSuf (10 Plagues in Egypt and 50 at the Sea, 40 plagues in Egypt and 200 at the Sea, etc.) 15 steps in Dayeinu, etc. So the redemption from Mitzraim begins with Moshe Rabbeinu's little ark floating on the Nile River from which Batya, Bat Paro rescues Moshe from the Nile. Then 80 years later the first plague was when Aharon hit the SURFACE of the Nile with his staff since Moshe could not hit the surface of the Nile to perform a plague because he had hakarat Hatov that the Surface of the Nile saved his life as an infant. The First Plague in Egypt was against the principle Avodah Zarah of Mitzraim, the Nile River.

So with the Final Redemption we learn that the Ark of Noah was SUBMERGED in the Nile 11 Amot from a calculation that Rashi does based on when the Waters of the Flood began to subside on Rosh Chodesh Siwan. Then the Ark runs aground on Ararat on the 17th of Siwan. Then the peak of Ararat is seen on Rosh Chodesh Av. Since the surface of the floodwaters was 15 Amot above Mt. Ararat and since it took 59 or 60 days for the Flood waters to be seen on Rosh Chodesh Av, then the waters subsided one Amah every four days or four days per Amah. So on the 17th of Siwan, the waters of the Flood had subsided four Amot when the Ark ran aground on the mountain. So the Final Redemption unlike the first Redemption when it begins with the Vav in HaShem's Name, begins with at least two Water Submersion plagues. 

Did we mention that the First Plague in Mitzraim was against the Avodah Zarah of Egypt, the principle Avodah Zarah that most angered HaShem, the Nile River. The first plague of the Final Redemption, Harvey, first hit the principle Avodah Zara of Edom for the last 2000 years! Nope, it is not the Trinity even though that is an Avodah Zarah. The Trinity is a bizarre idea floating around in the heads of Xtains, but it is not Chayav Mitah to believe in Shituf outside of Eretz Yisrael. The Principle Avodah Zarah that is Chayav Mitah (requires the death penalty) all over the world is that the mangod can be worshiped in bodily form by sticking his Corpse on a Cross so that Catholics and Orthodox Xtians, can then kneel before him as they pray. That is the essence of Avodah Zarah, to worship statues and pictures of gods or a god in this case. Just look at the Aseret HaDibrot (Ten Commandments) itself. So whom are the worshiping? The Body of Yoshke whom they call Christ. We can call him X. And the City in Texas that was first hit by Harvey BEFORE it wandered on to Houston? Corpus Christi which is Latin for The Body of X!!!!! 

Now the following I posted on the Facebook Forum of Geulah Watch.  Some of this is repetitive of what I wrote above.  Sorry about that, but time for me is short now.  Perhaps a bit later when I have time, I will try to present this large amount of Geulah material in piece by piece form.  Frankly now, the Geulah is coming so fast like a torrent of Water, that there is not time to present this material in tiny portions.  

The Second Immersion or Submersion plague cometh. It is at least Part of Meidad's prophesy for the plagues of GogUmagog.  Meidad can best be translated as Water of Treasure or Beloved Water. The Ark of Noah rested on the waters of the Great Flood 15 Amot above the highest mountains. The first Redemption from Mitzraim was with the Yud and the Hey in HaShem's Name. The Yud manifest itself with the ten plagues, and the Hey was the 5x multiplier effect at the Yam Suf. So the First Redemption began with the rescue of Baby Moshe in his own Ark on the Surface of the Nile. And the first Plague was when Aharon's staff struck the Surface of the Nile turning the Avodah Zarah of Mitzraim into Blood. That was the Redemption from Mitzraim.

The Final Redemption is with the Vav and the Hey in HaShem's Name. Vav + Hey is Eleven. So Rashi calculates from when the Ark of Noach ran aground until the mountaintops of Ararat could be seen that the Ark was immersed beneath the waters of the Flood eleven Amot into the Water. So the Final Redemption begins with Immersion plagues below the Surface of the Water. Yet, again, though, the first Plague would first strike the Avodah Zarah of Edom for the last 2000 years, the Avodah Zarah for which Edom could be Chayav Mitah. The Trinity, although it is Avodah Zarah, is in Raiyon only. Therefore it is not Chayav Mitah. The real Avodah Zarah of Edom was to worship the mangod in his human form, often kneeling before him as they pray as he hangs from his cross. The figure on the cross is of course, Yoshke's body, the object of their worship. They called Yoshke "Christ" for which we say X. The city in Texas that was first hit by Hurricane Harvey was Corpus Christi which in Latin means the Body of X. So just like in Egypt where the Nile was struck first because it was the leading god of Mitzraim, the final redemption began with the striking of the Avodah Zarah of Edom, the Body of X. The Storm then wandered to Houston which was immersed underneath slightly more than two Amot of Water using the calculation that each Amah is about 21 inches. I believe that we will see a total of 11 Amot of water immersing the various places where the 4 to 6 plagues of the Final Redemption will at least begin before Eliyahu HaNavi shows up to herald the plagues associated with the Final Hey in HaShem's Name. Because Eliyahu tried to return the Torah to G-d, he lost the privilege of heralding the Plagues that correspond to the letter Vav in HaShem's Name. He complained to G-d that his master performance at Har Carmel went unheeded by the Klal Yisrael. Jezebel saw that noone had really changed and had sent him a note that "Today You Eliyahu won the day, but tomorrow I am coming to kill you." So he ran away, dejected and a bit depressed. He fell asleep under a rotem tree, and Michael the Archangel tried to cheer him up with food and then a second time with the eschatology for the End of Days (Medrash Sefer Eliyahu) which was for him in the distant future. So he returned to Chorev to return the Torah to G-d. So first G-d fired him, and told him to anoint Elisha in his place who would recognize the spark of every Jew being kindled in the recesses of their souls even if it could not be seen in their enthusiasm for serving G-d through external behaviors such as saving Eliyahu's life. Apparently Eliyahu had missed that point when he ran away from Jezebel. He then told Eliyahu that he would attend every Pesach Seder and every Brit Milah until Mashiach came to teach him that even the most estranged Jews still observed Pesach Seders and Brit Milah. He then lost five of the Vavs at the end of his name after this episode of him trying to return the Torah to Heaven. Four of the Vavs are missing from his name in 2nd Melachim chapter 1. And one of the Vavs is missing from Behold I am sending you Eliyah the Prophet .... before the Coming of the Great and Awesome Day of HaShem (The Hoshana Rabbah of the Final Redemption). Those five Vavs only appear in Ya'akov's name spelled with a Vav four times in Yirmiyahu and one time in VeZecharti eth Briti Ya'akov in the Tochachah in BeChukotai. From this we see that the plagues associated with the letter Vav will not be heralded by Eliyahu HaNavi. They will come out of Tzafun, that which is hidden, which precedes the third cup of wine (The Letter Vav in Shem HaShem) at the Pesach Seder. Only after the Vav has been completely manifest does Eliyah without a Vav show up in the form of Kos Eliyahu to herald the second half of Hallel and the fourth cup of wine (The Final Hey in Shem HaShem) at the Seder. So for the first four, five, or six plagues of the Final Redemption, there is no Eliyahu to herald those plagues.

At this point we need Meidad whose name refers to Water to tell us that the plagues of Water in the Final Redemption would first affect the Land of Gog immersing that Land in many Amot of Water. So the Land of Gog is none other than the Congressional district of Gog Herbert Walker Bush Sr. in Houston, Texas who was elected POTUS 3300 years after Matan Torah for his only purpose for serving G-d was to guarantee that the prosperity of Edom would exist forever at the 33rd level of purity. The 33rd level is that level because on Lag B'Omer, the Mon had fallen three times. Esav interprets that as having a chazakah on the Mon or the Money so that the Money would be there forever. At that point he builds a roof over his civilization cutting it off from Divine Providence and declaring a New World Order with him and his friends in charge of the entire world. It is known that he tried to do this. And his first act after the Persian Gulf War was to have an international pieces conference in Madrid to divide Yerushalayim and the Land of Israel. His last act as President of the US in foreign policy was to condemn Israel on the first night of Chanukah for expelling 400 Hamas thugs into Southern Lebanon at the border at the 33rd Parallel! So whip out your Chumash, and read the first pasuk in the 33rd chapter of Bereishit (which has a total of 50 chapters altogether) and it says: Bereishit 33:1

א וַיִּשָּׂא יַעֲקֹב עֵינָיו, וַיַּרְא וְהִנֵּה עֵשָׂו בָּא, וְעִמּוֹ, אַרְבַּע מֵאוֹת אִישׁ; וַיַּחַץ אֶת-הַיְלָדִים, עַל-לֵאָה וְעַל-רָחֵל, וְעַל, שְׁתֵּי הַשְּׁפָחוֹת. 1 And Jacob lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, Esau came, and with him four hundred men. And he divided the children unto Leah, and unto Rachel, and unto the two handmaids.

And Ya'akov lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, ESAV CAME AND WITH HIM 400 MEN! Case closed.

The Vav Plagues are the plagues associated with HaShem's hidden, emotional Sefirot: Chessed, Gevurah, Tiferreth, Netzach, Hod, and Yesod. Those plagues are NOT being heralded by Eliyahu HaNavi because he failed to see the hidden sefirot in Klal Yisrael after the Great Qiddiush HaShem he did at Mt. Carmel. He only saw the lack of Outer teshuvah. He did not see the inner teshuvah that the demonstration at Har Carmel brought about in those Northern Kingdom Israelis who were present. And since externally they did very little to prevent Jezebel from saying that she was going to kill Eliyahu the next day, he became depressed and tried to return the Torah to G-d. So Elisha was anointed in Eliyahu's place since Elisha was more adept at seeing the P'nimiyut of the miracles performed through him. This explains why usually when Elisha prophesied a miraculous salvation, it was almost always done behind closed doors in secret. Compare that to Eliyahu's miracles that always had dozens and sometimes thousands of witnesses. And so it is at the End of Days. When it is time to herald the coming of Mashiach before the entire world, Eliyahu without a Vav will be there to do it. Those plagues will be associated with the final Sefirah, Malkhut since those plagues L'taken Olam b'Malkhut Shadai. I believe they will be Fire plagues since the 7th Sefirah in the 7th hakafah on Hoshana Rabbah is all about Fire.  The nukes and the nuke plants in the way of Irma are the Fire in all this. The Floods are the Water. N. Korea's nukes are part of the Fire plagues which I believe Eliyahu HaNavi will herald according to our sources. Remember Eliyahu while he lived often caught everyone's attention with his prayers for Heavenly fire.  

The Houston immersion plague was connected to the Gog Sr. election to the Presidency in 1988, 3300 years after Matan Torah. This second immersion plague has to do with the election of his son, Gog W. Ben Gog Jr. in the year 2000, the closest and weirdest election in American history. The deciding votes were in three beach counties in South Florida where they counted ballots with hanging chads for four weeks before the Supreme Court said, "Enough of this. There are too many ballots to count!"

And now Jose, whose name is Yosef in Hebrew.  Is that hurricane associated with the final hidden emotional sefirah of Yesod, the crowning of the Vav on HaShem's Name?  Time will tell.  ..... Very little time, so it seems.  Everything is happening so so fast.  Impossible to keep up.  Sorry about that.  

The Plagues of Submersion, The Trigger.

Yes, with a bang the Final Redemption has begun.  For 12 days in Tamuz/Rosh Chodesh Av, HaShem intensely desired a Dwelling in the Lower World on the Temple Mount, but the world in which we live influenced our Linguine Spined Prime Minister to capitulate to the Status Quo.  These 12 days between the 18th/19th of Tamuz and the 29th of Tamuz/ Rosh Chodesh Av can be understood by studying this chart brought down by the students of the Arizal.  Perhaps a full post on what happened this past Tamuz/Rosh Chodesh Av is in order, but for now the following will suffice.  During those 12 days the Arabs, who have controlled the Temple Mount since the 6 Day War because our Erev Rav powers that be did not want the "headache" of controlling a place so holy, were either exiled by force from the Temple Mount or self-exiled themselves from the Mount because they refused to go through metal detectors supervised by the State of Israel to prevent weapons (made of iron) from being brought on the Mount.  For His Part, HaShem was trying to enforce His first rule, chronologically listed in the Torah, for building a Temple or a Mishkan (Shmot 20:21):

 וְאִם-מִזְבַּח אֲבָנִים תַּעֲשֶׂה-לִּי, לֹא-תִבְנֶה אֶתְהֶן גָּזִית:  כִּי חַרְבְּךָ הֵנַפְתָּ עָלֶיהָ, וַתְּחַלְלֶהָ. 21 And if thou make Me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stones; for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast profaned it.

Later on in Devarim, the tools that are specifically not to be used to cut stones for the Mizbeach are listed as tools made of iron because as Chazal tell us, Iron weapons shorten life while the Mizbeach is constructed to offer up Qorbanot that prolong our lives.  (Devarim 27:4-6)  And we all know how those iron weapons that were hidden in the Al Aqsa Mosque were used to shorten the lives of those two Druze Police Officers.

  וְהָיָה, בְּעָבְרְכֶם אֶת-הַיַּרְדֵּן, תָּקִימוּ אֶת-הָאֲבָנִים הָאֵלֶּה אֲשֶׁר אָנֹכִי מְצַוֶּה אֶתְכֶם הַיּוֹם, בְּהַר עֵיבָל; וְשַׂדְתָּ אוֹתָם, בַּשִּׂיד. 4 And it shall be when ye are passed over the Jordan, that ye shall set up these stones, which I command you this day, in mount Ebal, and thou shalt plaster them with plaster (bedolach based limestone cement).
ה  וּבָנִיתָ שָּׁם מִזְבֵּחַ, לַיהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ:  מִזְבַּח אֲבָנִים, לֹא-תָנִיף עֲלֵיהֶם בַּרְזֶל. 5 And there shalt thou build an altar unto the LORD thy God, an altar of stones; thou shalt lift up no iron tool upon them.

ו  אֲבָנִים שְׁלֵמוֹת תִּבְנֶה, אֶת-מִזְבַּח יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ; וְהַעֲלִיתָ עָלָיו עוֹלֹת, לַיהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ. 6 Thou shalt build the altar of the LORD thy God of unhewn stones; and thou shalt offer burnt-offerings thereon unto the LORD thy God.

So HaShem wanted to enforce this basic rule starting on the 20th of Tamuz when those two Druze officers were murdered.  And until Jason Greenblatt got off the plane to tell Bibi to dismantle those metal detectors on the 2nd of Av in the wee hours of the morning, the Arab World refused to ascend the Temple Mount until the 2nd of Av!  For eleven magical days, only Jews went up to the Southern Court of the Gentiles through the Mughrabi Gate.  But our desire to build the Temple, collectively, was almost non-existent.  So Bibi caved like the Caver that he is before the pressure of Trump, Greenblatt, probably H.R. McMaster, and of course the King of Jordan.  But let us look at those dates.  First we know that as long as Amaleq remains in the world, the Throne of G-d is incomplete:  From Shemot 17:16

 וַיֹּאמֶר, כִּי-יָד עַל-כֵּס יָהּ, מִלְחָמָה לַיהוָה, בַּעֲמָלֵק--מִדֹּר, דֹּר.  {פ} 16 And he said: 'The hand upon the throne of the LORD: the LORD will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.'  From this we see that the word for throne כסא is spelled without an Aleph, and the Name of HaShem is spelled without a Vav and a Final Hey.  Together missing from His Throne is His Eternal Desire to dwell in our midst which is the word Ivah spelled אוה.  As it says in Psalm 132:

  בַּעֲבוּר, דָּוִד עַבְדֶּךָ--    אַל-תָּשֵׁב, פְּנֵי מְשִׁיחֶךָ. 10 For Thy servant David's sake turn not away the face of Thine anointed.
יא  נִשְׁבַּע-יְהוָה, לְדָוִד אֱמֶת--    לֹא-יָשׁוּב מִמֶּנָּה:
מִפְּרִי בִטְנְךָ--    אָשִׁית, לְכִסֵּא-לָךְ. 11 The LORD swore unto David in truth; He will not turn back from it: {N}
'Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne.
יב  אִם-יִשְׁמְרוּ בָנֶיךָ, בְּרִיתִי--    וְעֵדֹתִי זוֹ, אֲלַמְּדֵם:
גַּם-בְּנֵיהֶם עֲדֵי-עַד--    יֵשְׁבוּ, לְכִסֵּא-לָךְ. 12 If thy children keep My covenant and My testimony that I shall teach them, {N}
their children also for ever shall sit upon thy throne.'
יג  כִּי-בָחַר יְהוָה בְּצִיּוֹן;    אִוָּהּ, לְמוֹשָׁב לוֹ. 13 For the LORD hath chosen Zion; He hath desired it for His habitation:
יד  זֹאת-מְנוּחָתִי עֲדֵי-עַד:    פֹּה-אֵשֵׁב, כִּי אִוִּתִיהָ. 14 'This is My resting-place for ever; here will I dwell; for I have desired it.

From this we see that on the cusp of anointing the seed of David as the Mashiach, HaShem who chose Tzion, will demonstrate an intense desire to establish His Place of permanent habitation.  But when will he demonstrate His desire?  For that we must study the Arizal's chart above.  We see that the 72 days between the 25th of Adar and the 6th of Siwan correspond to the Gematriah 72 letter name for HaShem, spelled: Yud Vav Dalet (20) Hey Yud (15) Vav Yud Vav (22) Hey Yud (15).  Notice that spelling out the letters in this way leads to a total Gematriah of 72.  Now assuming as the Arizal assumed that before the Cheit of Adam HaRishon, the lunar cycles were precisely 30 days, we see that there are precisely 72 days between the 25th of Adar and the 6th of Siwan (6 days in Adar, 30 days each in Nissan and Iyyar, and 6 days in Siwan).  Notice from the spelling above, Aleph Vav Hey do not appear consecutively during those 72 days.  The reason is because the first Redemption from Mitzraim was with the Yud and the Hey in HaShem's Name.  Because of our sins in the desert, the Vav and the Hey never had a chance to manifest themselves in that Redemption.  Moshe died in the desert.  So this basically guaranteed that throughout our long history we would be exiled (on two occasions) from our Land until Mashiach came whose soul is a merging between the soul of the scion of David and the soul of Moshe Rabbeinu.  Once Moshe's soul is drawn down into Eretz Yisrael from Sha'ar HaNun (the 50th Gate), the cycles of Churban and Exile and Redemption will come to a close.  We will not be exiled again.  So while we were redeemed from Egypt and received the Torah under the direction of G-d's approval, we began to spiritually deteriorate from our high spiritual plateau forty days after Matan Torah, on Shivah Asar b'Tamuz 2448, and in the second year in the desert by Tisha B'Av 2449.  In both cases according to the Arizal chart above, we were within the next phase of our journey, the 63 days of SaG (Samech Gimel which is 63).  This 63 days period extends from the 7th of Siwan through the 9th of Av, again with Siwan and Tamuz having 30 days each.

Now just to clarify, it should be understood, that the Gematriah 72 Name of HaShem fills the World of Atzilut during those initial 72 days, and the Gematriah 63 Name of HaShem fills the World of Bri'ah in the Year of the Final Redemption.  Since the first 72 day period had already "been perfected" by the First Redemption, it does not need to be repeated in the Final Redemption, but the corruption of our sins, the Sin of the Golden Calf and during the following year, the Sin of the Spies, corrupted the Filling of the World of Bri'ah and therefore needs to be rectified in the year of the Final Redemption which starts with HaShem showing that He has a tremendous desire to dwell on the Temple Mount.  Now keep in mind, for 49 years starting with the potential Yovel year of 5678 (Fall of 1917 -1918), HaShem provided an opportunity to make Aliyah to the Land of Israel is large significant numbers starting with the Balfour Declaration and the Conquest of Yerushalayim from the Turks by PM David Lloyd Gog, a living, breathing philo-Semite.  The 50th year of this Aliyah to the Land of Israel was interrupted by another Yovel event, the Re-unification of Yerushalayim.  This set into motion another 49 year Aliyah to the Old City and the Western Wall of the Temple Mount and to Judea and Samaria beyond the 1949 arbitrary armistice line to which we could not make Aliyah between 1948 and 1967.  In both cases we reached 600,000 Jews during or at the end of those 49 year periods.  There were 600,000 Jews in Israel by the Fall of 1947, and by 2016 there were 600,000 Jews living in Yesha and Yerushalayim beyond the Green Line.  The 50th year was 5776, but the vessel to take us to the next level Aliyah Har HaBayit was incomplete.  (There were not 600,000 Jews willing to go to the next level.)  Not enough of us were willing to go to the next level.  So even though the father of the murdered Hallel Yaffa Ariel (hy"d) wanted to tie her murder in the land of Kaleiv, Qiryat Arba, to making Aliyah to the Temple Mount by secretly doing Birkat Kohanim on the Temple Mount under the eyes of the watching policemen, the vessels of Redemption to start 50 years of Aliyat Har HaBayit were simply lacking in our minimal numbers.  There were not 600,000 Jews who desired to go to this level.  So for this reason and other reasons to be discussed at another time, the Tikkun was delayed one more year, until this year 5777.  So let us look at the letters for the Name Gematriah SaG:  Yud Vav Aleph (20, from the 7th of Siwan until the 26th of Siwan), Hey Yud (15, from the 27th of Siwan until the 11th of Tamuz), Vav Aleph Vav (13) and Hey Yud (15).  Notice that consecutively we see the Ivah that HaShem desires to dwell in the lowest world Olam HaAsiyah on the Temple Mount.  Now when were those twelve days since Aleph Vav Hey is Gematriah 12?  Well the first Vav in Vav Aleph Vav is (6, from the 12th of Tamuz until the 17th of Tamuz.  The Aleph Vav Hey (12, is from the 18th of Tamuz until the 29th of Tamuz), and the final Yud is from the 30th of Tamuz which for us is Rosh Chodesh Av until the 9th of Av.

From previous discussions on this blog, we discussed that with the advent of Hillel the 2nd's calendar, we can basically only establish the New Moons Rabbinically.  We simply do not meet the criteria of setting the months d'Oraita when we don't have witnesses appearing before the Sanhedrin.  So although the calendar is precise and accurate to 1/ 10,000 of a second, the New Moon as established here on earth through the calendar might be one day off from how Heaven sees the situation.  This is especially true in years when the molad for Rosh Chodesh that has 30 days is on Rosh  Chodesh itself.  Since while the Temple stood, Rosh Chodesh could only be declared the following day AFTER the crescent moon was seen because on that day the Musaf for Rosh Chodesh could then be offered by noon, Heaven might rule that Rosh Chodesh is indeed the following day.  Notice that I am carefully using the word MIGHT.  But one thing that seems certain, since the molad for Rosh Chodesh Av was on Rosh Chodesh itself and since this was intentionally set up by Chaza"l so that Yom Kippur would not fall on Motzei Shabbat (a big no no), the Arizal's calculation was advanced one day this year from the 18th of Tamuz to the 19th of Tamuz and from the 29th of Tamuz to Rosh Chodesh Av.  Lo and Behold the self-exile of the Arabs from the Temple Mount fulfilling the first commandment for making a Mishkan, that metal implements not be used to hew, the whole stones of the Mizbeach, was precisely during those 12 days of Ivah!!

But HaShem's entreaties not only went unanswered.  He was utterly spurned.   And unlike anytime before in history except for the Generation of the Flood, His Wrath will now be felt by the entire World.  It is from this that we received upon ourselves the First plague of the Final Redemption, The Plague of Harvey.... To be continued.

The Fire and the Fury of the Year 777

So how did this day begin?  We may be asking this question every day now until Hoshana Rabbah/ Shmini Atzereth 5778.  Well now the news is out there.  Kim Jong Un can miniaturize a nuke and place it on every rocket that goes up and comes down without burning up on re-entry, which is only  a problem with ICBMs who travel long distances in outer space.  And then there are EMPs whose rockets don't really have to come down once the warhead is launched into space.  That was how we started the morning.  Then Donald Trump issued his "Fire and Fury like the World has never Seen" remarks before what appeared to be a Cabinet meeting.    And now in retaliation, North Korea just threatened the entire island territory of Guam and Andersen AirForce Base by saying that "The KPA strategic force is now carefully examining the operational plan for making an enveloping fire at the areas around Guam with medium-to-long-range strategic ballistic rocket Hwasong-12 in order to contain the US major military bases on Guam, including the Andersen Air Force base."

So we know that after a day of  "To the Moon" major escalation toward the actual bloody conflict of the 3rd battle of the 3rd War of GogUMagog, we don't have to look far into our holy sources to see a reference to Fire being the main theme of the 7th year after 77 decades of the 6th Millennium.  We find it in our davening on Hoshana Rabbah, the 7th day of the 7 day festival of Sukkot during the 7th and final circuit around the Bimah in front of the Holy Ark.   This hakafah (Circuit) says that the main theme of this year of sevens would be Fire which would descend to earth in honor of our Avot, Moshe, Aharon, and a host of other leaders and prophets from our long history.  It goes like thus:
