The Archduke Ferdinand Moment??

Anyone following this blog knows that we have been following the 40 weeks of pregnancy since Tisha B'Av 5772 as if there was a conception that took place last Tisha B'Av according to the Zohar VaYeira 119.  It was all based on that Zohar that the molad for Siwan 5772, a star in the east (the sun) swallowed seven stars in the north (the Pleiades or the 7 Sisters).  It was a widely covered annular solar eclipse which marked the birth of the new moon (the molad) for Siwan 5772.  This was a verse from the Zohar.  Then on the 8th of the month of Siwan, the Flame virus was reported because it had been discovered in the cyber-rakia (cyberspace).  Now the Zohar specifically says that a Flame of Black Fire would hang in the rakia for 60 days.  After speaking with Rav Ariel Bar Tzaddok, he told me that since it was a Flame of Black fire in the rakia, it was not necessarily an observable event.  It would be a spiritual event with a siman (in this case the flame virus) that would occur when the Moon for the month of Siwan "ruled" the sky.  According to Chassidut this takes place from 7 full days after the molad until 7 full days after the molad in the following month.  Yet, we did not have long to wait.  The announcement about the Flame virus was mamash on the 8th of Siwan after the molad.  60 days later was Tisha B'Av 5772.  Now many many bloggers including myself were expecting a major event to take place on Tisha B'Av last year.  What happened was actually striking because it has to do with the very next verse in the Zohar VaYeira 119:  There will be wars (or a World War) in the north in which two kings will perish.  Suddenly without notice, the Syrian Civil War in which about 1000 or 1500 people had been dying per month since in started in 2011, exploded, and at least 5000 people started to die per month.  And over the last nine months at least 50,000 people have died, just in that period of time, as the death toll has skyrocketed above 6000 people dying per month, more than half of the dead being civilians.  For several months it seemed that the war had been quarantined because any country entering could trigger a world war.  The Russians on Assad's side kept telling us all along that the situation was contained ....to 6000 people dying per month.  And so it seemed to be stable.  Suddenly in the last few weeks it has been proven that Assad has actually used sarin nerve agent on his own people and against the rebels, many of which are foreign Islamicist fighters.

Yet, the next verse in the Zohar VaYeira 119 perked my curiosity.     Then all the nations shall combine together against the daughter of Ya'akov in order to drive her from the world.  It is of that time that it is written:  "And It is a time of trouble onto Ya'akov, but out of it he shall be saved." (Yirmiyahu 30:7)    There is is from the Book of Jeremiah.  So I  decided to look a little deeper into this verse by examining the verse in context.  Then I made a striking discovery.  The previous verse Jer. 30:6 spoke about a pregnancy:  Ask now and see if a male has ever given birth.  Why then do I see that every man puts his hands on his loins like a woman in childbirth and all faces turn pallid.  30:7 Woe!  For that day will be momentous!  There is nothing like it.  And it (will be) a time of trouble for Ya'akov, but out of it he shall be saved!  Now it was already 4 months and one week into this pregnancy since Tisha B'Av 5772 when I first noticed this.  I believe it came after the big UN General Assembly vote for Palestine on or around the 15th of Kislev four months plus one week after Tisha B'Av 5772.  At that point I considered it important to keep track.  It could become hairy in one of two ways.  There would be a major buildup in tension until the end of nine months at which time there would be a release from the pain an suffering.  It did not progress in accordance with that path  although a slew of events had occurred in the very short time from the 14th of Cheshvan (Hurricane Sandy) and the 15th of Kislev (the UN vote on the  Gregorian anniversary of the partition plan of November 29th, 1947.  It seemed to me with that vote our time of real trouble had commenced even though the 9 months and two weeks had begun on the previous Tisha B'Av in accord with the Zohar VaYeira 119.

For those who regularly follow this blog I have been vigilant to heavily post in what could be described as the 6 week period of the 9th months.  Starting with Obama's arrival around the 9th or Tenth of Nisan and his Beast car that could not start because it was filled up with the wrong fuel.  Since then with a slight break for the first day of Pesach, I have been posting much more frequently than normal.  I had committed myself to fully cover this six week time spread from the tenth of Nisan until the 25h of Iyar, the stopping point of the end of the 40th week since Tisha B'av, the time span of an average healthy pregnancy.  Suddenly on the last day of my coverage, it happened.  You can read it right here:  http://www.foxnews.com/world/2013/05/05/israel-strikes-military-research-center-syrian-state-news-agency-says/  From what I can tell it was a real game-changer.  This attack was not a missile fire from Lebanese airspace against a convoy of Persian trucks carrying very accurate laser guided long range missiles, things that had been promised to Hezbollah.  Today the attack was against a munitions facility in the heart of Damascus.   This attack killed and wounded many people.   It was a real gamechanger.  Now I am not going to guess what happens next.  There are many possibilities how this can continue to blow up, but this time I believe it will.  For now let us mark the 25 of Iyar as the end of the 40 weeks of pregnancy which began last Tisha B'Av.  And something of significant escalation did take place today.  What seems to be evident is that the birthpangs have really become to press at the end of the 40 weeks, not in particular during the weeks of the ninth month themselves.  Time will tell......
