If we look at Musaph Rosh HaShanah davening, we notice several things about the Order of prayers called Malkhuyot (Verses of Kingship), Zikhronot (Verses of Remembrance), and Shofarot (Verses of Blasts from the Ram's Horn). Each set has three verses from the Torah, three verses from the Holy Writings (usually from the Book of Psalms), and then three verses from the Prophets (Nevua) followed by another final verse from the Torah. One can say that the entire essence of the Day of Judgement (1st of Tishrei, the 7th month) is wrapped up in those three themes. We have a once a year Coronation ceremony for HaShem Elokim as King of the Universe, actually twice per year since we repeat the Coronation on the 2nd of Tishrei because of doubt if the New Moon for Tishrei was actually seen. So that part is Malkhuyot. We also ask HaShem Elokim to remember the righteousness of the spiritual Giants who were our forbearers, Zikhronot, taking "advantage" of G-d's stated Holy attribute that while He recalls the sins of the ancestors for three or four generations in Judgement for the non-penitent, He remembers with Kindness the righteousness of one's ancestors for 1000 or thousands of generations. Since Sinai if we count each generation as about 30 years between one Dor and the next, we have only passed the torch of Torah 112 times. So we are well within our 1000 generation limit. If we go back to Abraham, there are only an additional 6 generations between Abraham and Moses for a total of 118 generations, again well within our 1000 generation limit. <b>By recalling the merit of our ancestors on Rosh HaShanah, we definitely add "weight" to our balance of merit vs debts owed on our personal Scale of Justice, for which Tishrei is known amongst the Mazalot (signs of the Tzedeq of G-d aka the Zodiac). </b> By the way, I am using the Name HaShem Elokim here because this refers to the Name of G-d on the Throne of Judgement in the 5th Heaven as opposed to the Name of HaShem alone on His Throne of Mercy in the 7th Heaven. Also when Adam and Chava were thrown out of Gan Eden on Rosh HaShanah 5783 years ago, it is precisely by that Name that He is known in the Torah on that First Day of Judgement in the Year 1. (Only on a deeper level was there are Year 0.)</p><p>This brings us to Shofarot, the blasts of the Ram's Horn, for which this Day is known in the Written Torah as Yom Teruah (Numbers 29:1) or Yom Zikhron Teruah (Lev 23:24). <b>On Rosh HaShanah, according to the Torah, we are obligated to hear three sets of three (Tekiah, Teruah, Tekiah) for a sum total of 9 Shofar blasts! Yet, because there is a Saffek D'Oraita (doubt about the nature of a Torah commandment) on what is a Teruah, we need to hear three possible combinations of what a Teruah might be as the middle blast in each set of three. 9 short blasts is called a Teruah by our Machzorim, and 3 mid-range blasts is called Shevarim. And then the possibility that a Teruah is 3 mid-range blasts followed by 9 short blasts also must be taken into account. </b>Since we call Shevarim- Teruah two separate blasts even though the one who calls for the blasts mentions them both at the same time,<b> taking into account the potential doubt of what a Teruah might actually be, we need to hear 30 blasts of the Shofar on Rosh HaShanah.</b> </p><p>3 x (Tekiah, Shevarim- Teruah, Tekiah) = total of 9 or 12 blasts. Each Tekiah is simply one long blast of the Shofar. The Teruah is the broken blast.</p><p>3 x (Tekiah, Shevarim, Tekiah) = total of 9 blasts</p><p>3 x (Tekiah, Teruah, Tekiah) = total of 9 blasts for a final total of 27 or 30 blasts. Probably we should count Shevarim- Teruah as one blast because that combination might be the ancient Teruah after all. So in reality there are 27 total blasts. <b>What is important to remember though is that IF we knew precisely what a Teruah was supposed to sound like, we would only be obligated in hearing 9 blasts of the Shofar on both days of Rosh HaShanah! So why nine blasts?</b></p><p>Our sages give many reasons for these 3 sets of 3 blasts of the Shofar on Rosh HaShanah. One of these reasons is that we need to chop up The Satan's accusations with the instrument that sounds most like a wailing man crying bitter tears. So the custom is to blow the Shofar on the right side of one's mouth because The Heavenly Accuser/Prosecutor stands to the right of the Accused which is to the Left of G-d's Heavenly Throne during which the 3 mid-range or 9 short blasts of Teruah cut The Satan's accusations into pieces on the very day of our yearly trial before the King of the Universe. Why do we need three Teruot? Because The Satan has three roles in the world:</p><p>1. To enhance our existing Yetzer HaRa when we are being tested to see if we can overcome our Evil Inclination. The Satan enhances this Yetzer HaRa when we are being tested to, according to G-d's standards, have a 50/50 chance of passing a test. In many cases doing the right thing might be very easy, but if the Satan is involved in making the test more difficult, other extenuating factors will be added to make the test on honest exam. Only in this way can we have true moral free will to pass or fail the test. What is interesting is that the only day of the year where The Satan does not enhance our Yetzer HaRa is on Purim (14th and 15th of Adar). In a year with 2 Adars, I do not know if this applies to Purim Qatan in Adar Rishon. <b>So if a person has subdued his/her Yetzer HaRa by Purim, they will not sin on that day...... even if he/she is drunk, for The Satan will not push a righteous drunk person into the situation of being tested on that day.</b></p><p>2. As the Heavenly Prosecutor from which he gets the name HaSatan: The Satan is active the entire year, but just like he takes one day off from his role as the Enhancer of our Yetzer HaRa, he takes another day off from his role as the Heavenly Prosecutor. That day is Yom Kippur. We see this in his name itself, השטן, The Gematriah of which is 364. So for 364 days in a solar year he is active in Heaven, but on Yom Kippur, he is absent from that role (if we heard the Shofar 8 and 9 days earlier on Rosh HaShanah and if we are fasting like angels to merit being before the Throne of Mercy in the 7th Heaven on the 10th of Tishrei.) So there are stipulations to not being prosecuted by the Satan on Yom Kippur.</p><p>3. As the Angel of Death or the Malakh HaMavet. Once again he is active in this role all year long, but there is one day a year where part of his role as the Angel of Death is taken away from him. That day is Hoshana Rabbah (the 7th Day of Sukkot, 21st of Tishrei) when only G-d Himself slays the very wicked and sits in Judgement of the final status of where the various nations of the world will be one year later in terms of their physical existence and their well being. Spiritual judgements are written and sealed before the Full Moon of Tishrei, but one's physical judgement descends through the 7 Heavens over the 7 days of Sukkot starting with the Full Moon for that month. This applies especially to nations because unlike Israel, most nations as nations do not have a world to come. Human beings as individuals have a World to Come, but Nations (except for Israel) do not. So Hoshana Rabbah is a unique day where the Angel of Death, in part, takes a rest.</p><p>For those who keep the custom, it is customary on all three of these days to eat a three cornered pastry in honor of The Satan's reduced prowess on these three days. Every one knows about HamanTaschen (Haman's three cornered ears on Purim), but the custom also extends to Erev Yom Kippur and Hoshana Rabbah (in the Sukkah) where many eat kreplach in the Ashkenazic world which is a three cornered meat or potato pastry. </p><p>So getting back to the main plot, we have specifically three sets of three blasts of the Shofar because, for one, the three Teruot need to chop up the three various roles of the Satan on that day. And that must be done with the horn of preferably a Ram, because a Ram more than any other Qorban "accentuates our positive commandments and our positive midot" to contrast with the Satan's accusations, something that can be discussed at another time, and it sounds most like the wailing tears of a human being (9 short blasts or 3 mid-sized blasts or the combination of the two described above). Notice, the Satan is fully active on Rosh HaShanah in all three capacities mentioned above. So all three roles must be chopped into pieces by an instrument that most represents our tears.</p><p>Alas, we get to the part where one must ask, "Ok, I get the need for the three Teru'ot on Rosh HaShanah, but why must we add a Tekiah before and after each Teruah like bookends?" What is the purpose of a Tekiah before and after each Teruah to give us a Tekiah Teruah Tekiah sandwich? Well according to the Sages of our Ages (Chaza"l), the Torah in Parshat Yithro mentions that at Matan Torah we heard three blasts of the Shofar. There are only three references to Kol Shofar or Kol HaShofar in chapter 19 and 20 of Shemot (Exodus) when the first two of the Ten Statements were given directly by G-d and where the remaining eight were given by G-d through Moshe as an intermediary. (The people were frightened that they might die if they heard all Ten Statements directly from HaQodesh Barukh Hu.) What is fascinating is that one can even see this in the text of the first two Commandments compared to the last eight commandments. The first two refer to G-d in the 1st Person(אנוכי הי אלקיך in the first Commandment and לֹא-יִהְיֶה לְךָ אֱלֹהִים אֲחֵרִים, עַל-פָּנָי or וְעֹשֶׂה חֶסֶד, לַאֲלָפִים--לְאֹהֲבַי, וּלְשֹׁמְרֵי מִצְוֺתָי in the 2nd Commandment.) I am HaShem you G-d, You will not have other (false) gods in MY presence, and I the L-rd your G-d.......who does lovingkindness to the 1000th generation for those who love Me and for those who observe MY Commandments. While in the Third Commandment we already see G-d being referred to in the Third person: כִּי לֹא יְנַקֶּה יְהוָה, אֵת אֲשֶׁר-יִשָּׂא אֶת-שְׁמוֹ לַשָּׁוְא. For HaShem will not clean up the damage of those who carry HIS Name in vain. From here we can clearly see that starting with the Third Commandment, Moshe gave over the Statements as an intermediary because Klal Yisrael had complained of the overwhelming power of hearing G-d's voice, directly, in the first two Commandments that they might die. <b> But with regards to these Shofar blasts we know that they were Tekiot and not Teruot from the second blast where it says in Chapter 19: verse 19:</b> </p><p>יט וַיְהִי קוֹל הַשֹּׁפָר, הוֹלֵךְ וְחָזֵק מְאֹד; מֹשֶׁה יְדַבֵּר, וְהָאֱלֹהִים יַעֲנֶנּוּ בְקוֹל.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>19 And when the voice of the ram's horn waxed louder and louder (or waxed continuously louder), Moses spoke, and God answered him by a voice.</p><p>The "waxing louder and louder" or "waxing continuously louder" reference can only refer to a longer single blast of the Shofar and NOT a broken blast. So if all three Kol Shofar references are to be equivalent in their essence, then all three of them were a Teki'ah. We learn the same from verse 13 where we see that the blast of the Shofar, which is blown when the Divine Presence is on the Mountain, will be elongated, that is a Single blast called here a Yovel. This instruction in verse 13 was actually given on the 3rd of Siwan, three days before the events of the 6th (or 7th) of Siwan. So this statement about the elongated blast was a preparation for the fateful day of Matan Torah itself:</p><p>יג לֹא-תִגַּע בּוֹ יָד, כִּי-סָקוֹל יִסָּקֵל אוֹ-יָרֹה יִיָּרֶה--אִם-בְּהֵמָה אִם-אִישׁ, לֹא יִחְיֶה; בִּמְשֹׁךְ, הַיֹּבֵל, הֵמָּה, יַעֲלוּ בָהָר.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>13 no hand shall touch him, but he shall surely be stoned, or shot through; whether it be beast or man, it shall not live; when the ram's horn soundeth long (sound is elongated), they shall come up to the mount (when the blast concludes). </p><p>There seems to be a debate about whether we were supposed to ascend the Mountain to see G-d Face to face during the Tekiah blast, or whether we were correct to wait until the end of the blast when the Shekhinah had departed before ascending the Mountain. This matter is discussed <a href="https://etzion.org.il/en/holidays/shavuot/shofar-sinai" target="_blank">here in detail.</a> Had we been ready to meet G-d Face to face while the Shofar blast was occurring, we likely would have never sinned at the Cheit HaEigel according to this drashah from the Har Etzion Yeshivah.</p><p><b>So if this summary of Matan Torah is correct, though, there were three Tekiot at Har Sinai, but looking closer at the Verses, only one of them was the Kol HaShofar. One was the Voice of G-d. A second was the Thunder from the Intensely Dark Cloud that gathered to conceal the Shekhinah's descent upon Mt. Sinai, and the Third was the long continuous Blast (Tekiah) of the Shofar itself.</b> I do not mean to skip over the depth of this, but the final subject of this Essay is the End of Days, not the Day of the Revelation at Sinai. So we will leave this matter by mentioning that the Torah itself refers to this long Tekiah Shofar blast three times as Kol HaShofar. This becomes more evidential when at the end of the 3 psukim from Torah, then for some reason 4 psukim from Psalms, and 3 more from the Prophets, the last pasuk from the Torah is not a Tekiah on the Shofar at all! It is on the pair of Silver Trumpets that Moshe was commanded to fashion in Parshat BeHa'alotkha! In the entire Torah there are only three Teki'ot of the Ram's horn (or one long tekiah or voice from the Noise of the thick, dark cloud on the mountain, one long tekiah from the ram's horn, and the Voice of G-d Himself) , the three Voices mentioned at the Revelation at Sinai. All the other Tekiot mentioned are on the Silver Trumpets made by Moshe Rabbeinu for gathering the nation at the Tent of Meeting or for gathering the Princes of the tribes or for blowing the trumpets over elevation offerings and Peace offerings for Shabbatot, Festivals, and New Moons. The Talmud DOES derive that when Trumpets were sounded on Shabbatot and Moadim, so were Shofarot, but this derivation is not in the Written Torah.</p><p>Now let us look at the pasukim (verses) for the Nevi'im, The Prophets. During the Order of Malkhuyot (Kingship), all the p'sukim of course deal with the Crowning of G-d as King of the Universe. Two of them are prophetic for the End of Days, but only one of them gives us specific information about a specific event, when Saviors will ascend Mt. Tzion to judge Mt. Esav (Vesuvius), and the Kingdom will belong to HaShem. The intent of these three p'sukim though is not to provide the Roadmap for Redemption at the End of Days. The intent to instill Reverence for G-d. Then we come to the Three verses from the Prophets in Zikhronot (Remembrances). This time the prophets are focusing on the Greatness of our Ancestors or the Spiritual bond that HaShem had with one particular ancestor, Ephraim the son of Yosef and Osnat. So the Prophetic verses here reflect on our past, not on our future. Remember the purpose of these verses is to add credit or weight the Scale of Justice in Heaven in Our favor by recounting the Righteousness of our ancestors or the Joy that they gave to HaShem. The third verse here though is significant because of the final role of Mashiach ben Ephraim (Yehonatan Pollard?) in the month of Adar Sheini (The 2nd month of the Fish) of the Final Redemption, mentioning it here (Yirm 31:19) </p><p>יט הֲבֵן יַקִּיר לִי אֶפְרַיִם, אִם יֶלֶד שַׁעֲשֻׁעִים--כִּי-מִדֵּי דַבְּרִי בּוֹ, זָכֹר אֶזְכְּרֶנּוּ עוֹד; עַל-כֵּן, הָמוּ מֵעַי לוֹ--רַחֵם אֲרַחֲמֶנּוּ, נְאֻם-יְהוָה.</p><p>19 Is Ephraim a darling son unto Me? Is he a child that is dandled? For as often as I speak of him, I do earnestly remember him still; therefore My heart yearneth for him, I will surely have compassion upon him, saith the LORD.</p><p><b>Finally, we get to the three verses from the Prophets on the End of Days Shofar blasts, and I can verily promise that the first two Shofar blasts are NOT prophesies for the distant future. They are Tekiot that have already occurred. In all three cases, these are blasts commemorating specific events which are duteously described in the verses themselves. And even if the first two blasts are inverted according to Nusach Ashkenaz and Nusach Eidot HaMizrach (Sephardic and Babylonian and Persian Jews), their themes are in chronological order. </b>According to Nusach Ashkenaz:</p><p>Isaiah (Yishayahu) 18:3 כָּל-יֹשְׁבֵי תֵבֵל, וְשֹׁכְנֵי אָרֶץ, כִּנְשֹׂא-נֵס הָרִים תִּרְאוּ, וְכִתְקֹעַ שׁוֹפָר תִּשְׁמָעוּ. {ס}<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>3 All ye inhabitants of the world, and ye dwellers on the earth, as an ensign (flag) is lifted up on the mountains, you will see it; and as the ram's horn is blown (like the blowing of a ram's horn), you will hear it.</p><p>This is a prophesy about the Founding of the State of Israel. The flag raised in the Mountains was the establishment of (West) Yerushalayim as the capital of the new state. Yet, because the State was established by International Socialists and some Communists, the State was founded by the Erev Rav as a husk to protect what was within it. So what was heard throughout the world was "like" the blast of a Shofar. It has accomplished four goals necessary as a foundation for the Messianic Era, with the process of Mashiach ben Yosef working within its midst.</p><p><b>1. The Ingathering of at least 6 million Jews since the State was founded by just over 600,000 Jews</b></p><p><b>2. The building of the physical infrastructure that will be used in the Messianic Era</b></p><p><b>3. The establishment of Torah institutions by those who wanted to establish them often with financial help from the State itself</b></p><p><b>4. The uncovering of Archeology of our distant past from the Altar of Yehoshua bin Nun on Mt. Eibal through the Bar Kokhba Revolt attaching our distant past to our brighter future</b></p><p>One can safely say that that particular Shofar blast that was Like the Tekiah of a Shofar was on the 5th of Iyar 5708. The rest of the sound and light show associated with the founding of the State will soon be transformed into the earthly Footstool for the Heavenly Throne.</p><p>Years ago during August of 1989, Rav Motti Berger of Aish HaTorah came to speak at the Jewish Federation of S. Louis in what was a main Auditorium in the Jewish Federation Bldg. What he had to say that August was shocking in every respect of that word. <b>He gave over a Dvar Torah of the Vilna Gaon that the Ingathering of the exiles expressed in the next verse would occur 3/4 through the 6th Millennium (either in 5750 or in 5751) because high noon on the 6th day is 3/4 of the way through Yom Shishi, and at that moment Shofar blowers would ascend hills and mountains in Eretz Yisrael to blow a Tekiah to call Israel in from her fields to prepare for Shabbat.</b> Until High noon on Friday, one could do mundane work and labor as one did the other days of the week (Sunday - Thursday), but at high noon, only work which was necessary to prepare for Shabbat could be done. The reason for the possible discrepancy between 5750 and 5751 as to whether the ingathering would begin in which of those two years is because the Gaon was not 100% sure on whether the 6000 years of Olam HaZeh would end at the end of the year 5999 or at the end of the year 6000. If Olam HaZeh ends at the end of the year 5999, then the 3/4 mark was in the year 5750. If it ended at the end of the year 6000, then the 3/4 mark was in the year 5751. I remember this was an issue when years ago we were discussing the beginning of Mincha Gedolah of the 6th Millennium or 12:30pm on Yom Shishi after which Mashiach could only come b'itah since all the Achishena dates had passed. So doing the calculation, that date was either Rosh Chodesh Av 5770 or Rosh Chodesh Av 5771, once again depending on the same criterion whether the 6th Millennium ended at the end of 5999 or at the end of the year 6000. So here is the 2nd verse of Nevua in Shofarot Musaph Rosh HaShanah according to Nusach Ashkenaz/ Sephard Chassidim: Isaiah 27:13</p><p> וְהָיָה בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא, יִתָּקַע בְּשׁוֹפָר גָּדוֹל, וּבָאוּ הָאֹבְדִים בְּאֶרֶץ אַשּׁוּר, וְהַנִּדָּחִים בְּאֶרֶץ מִצְרָיִם; וְהִשְׁתַּחֲווּ לַיהוָה בְּהַר הַקֹּדֶשׁ, בִּירוּשָׁלִָם. {פ}<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>13 And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great ram's horn shall be blown; and they shall come that were lost in the land of Assyria, and they that were dispersed in the land of Egypt; and they shall worship the LORD in the holy mountain at Jerusalem.</p><p>Notice the uptick from the previous Shofar blast. This blast is a REAL Shofar blast, but the blowing of the Tekiah is in the passive voice. So we do not know which Angelic being in Shamayim blew the Shofar in 5750/51.</p><p>Now I realize that the Temple has not yet been rebuilt. So the last part of this verse has yet to occur, but it is noteworthy what the Gaon said next. <b>According to Rav Berger, the Gaon juxtaposed this verse about a Shofar blast being blown in Isaiah 27 with the ingathering of the exiles described in Yirmiyahu 31, specifically this verse 31:7:</b></p><p><b> הִנְנִי מֵבִיא אוֹתָם מֵאֶרֶץ צָפוֹן, וְקִבַּצְתִּים מִיַּרְכְּתֵי-אָרֶץ--בָּם עִוֵּר וּפִסֵּחַ, הָרָה וְיֹלֶדֶת יַחְדָּו: קָהָל גָּדוֹל, יָשׁוּבוּ הֵנָּה.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>7 Behold, I will bring them from the land of the north (of Eretz Yisrael), and gather them from the uttermost parts of the earth, and with them the blind and the lame, the woman with child and her that travaileth with child together; a great company shall they return hither.</b></p><p>From here we see that this Shofar blast would be heard and would be FIRST manifest in the world with a massive ingathering of all the Jews north of Israel. The Vilna Gaon seems to be referring here to all the Jews of Russia or Eastern Europe which was due north of Eretz Yisrael. Now perhaps this might also refer to Turkey, but since 1948 (5708) a Jew in Turkey could make Aliyah under his own auspices. He did not need a Shofar blast to bring Turkish Jews on Aliyah. Taking a Turkish Airline Aliyah flight to Israel in 1990 or 1991 was not a big deal, and it certainly did not require a Shofar blast. But from Eastern Europe, behind the Iron Curtain? A miracle would be needed. Now this is where the Vilna Gaon seems to require one to use his/her head to see when that Shofar blast might occur. <b>Just 7 verses later, we see in whose merit this great ingathering would take place! Yirm 31:14-16</b></p><p><b> כֹּה אָמַר יְהוָה, קוֹל בְּרָמָה נִשְׁמָע נְהִי בְּכִי תַמְרוּרִים--רָחֵל, מְבַכָּה עַל-בָּנֶיהָ; מֵאֲנָה לְהִנָּחֵם עַל-בָּנֶיהָ, כִּי אֵינֶנּוּ. {ס}<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>14 Thus saith the LORD: A voice is heard in Ramah, lamentation, and bitter weeping, Rachel weeping for her children; she refuseth to be comforted for her children, because they are not. {S}</b></p><p><b>טו כֹּה אָמַר יְהוָה, מִנְעִי קוֹלֵךְ מִבֶּכִי, וְעֵינַיִךְ, מִדִּמְעָה: כִּי יֵשׁ שָׂכָר לִפְעֻלָּתֵךְ נְאֻם-יְהוָה, וְשָׁבוּ מֵאֶרֶץ אוֹיֵב.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>15 Thus saith the LORD: Refrain thy voice from weeping, and thine eyes from tears; for thy work shall be rewarded, saith the LORD; and they shall come back from the land of the enemy.</b></p><p></p><p><b>טז וְיֵשׁ-תִּקְוָה לְאַחֲרִיתֵךְ, נְאֻם-יְהוָה; וְשָׁבוּ בָנִים, לִגְבוּלָם. {ס}<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>16 And there is hope for thy future, saith the LORD; and thy children shall return to their own border.</b></p><p><b>Lo and behold, the puzzle is unlocked. The Great Shofar blast of the 6th Millennium (Isaiah 27:13) which would FIRST bring in the Jews from the North of Eretz Yisrael would occur in the merit of Rachel our Matriarch, most likely on her Jahrzeit, the date of her death, when her merits appear yearly before the Heavenly Court (the 11th of Marcheshvan 5750 or 5751!!)</b></p><p><b>Now, keep in mind that Rav Berger came and gave this talk during August of 1989.

So if you want a definitive date for the Great Shofar Tekiah of the 6th Millennium, it was on the 11th of MarCheshvan 5750. For every Jew in the world, if you are davening for that Shofar blast on Rosh HaShanah to occur for you, perhaps perhaps you missed the frequency of that blast. It is history. It has already occurred, over 34 years ago.</b></p><p><b>Oh, but we are not finished yet. There were two ingatherings predicted for that two year period. Only one of them was the Lost from the Land of Ashur (Assyria). There would be another group of ancient Northern Kingdom Israelites who would be "Castaway in the Land of Mitzraim (Egypt)" who would also be ingathered during either 5750 and 5751. </b>For this we need to learn a bit of Oral History from Ethiopian Jews. In the early 1980s before Operation Moses in 1984- Jan 1985, I spent about 6 months in Arad, Israel. At that time Begin had been quietly ingathering Ethiopian Jews and bringing them home to Israel. For whatever reason, the Absorption Centers in Arad were half-filled by Ethiopian immigrants. The other half were immigrants from the rest of the world. And I became friendly with a few families, and they told me their history in the Galut of Shwa along the tributary of the Blue Nile in Gondar Province. Apparently, Shlomo HaMelekh and the Queen of Sheba had a son named Menelik. He was sent to Shlomo's Kingdom by the Queen to be raised in Shlomo<b>'s </b>Palace around the year 995 bce (taking into account Rav Shimon Schwab's tikkun of 165 years). Upon King Shlomo's death around 965 bce, Menelik returned to Schwa with Shlichim from the Tribe of Dan to convert the entire Royal household to Judaism. 240- 245 years later around the year 722 bce, tragedy strikes the Northern Kingdom of Israel. Shalmanezer the 5th followed by Sargon II who overthrew Shalmanezer V in a Palace coup sacked Samaria and exiled most of the Northern Kingdom to the eastern most realms of the Assyrian Empire. Many of the northernmost tribes of Asher, Naftali, and the part of Dan that had conquered SE Lebanon had already been taken prisoner, and they were being used as slave porters for the Assyrian Army in later invasions of Judea, The Sea People's Palestine (Philistia) and later on Egypt around 670 bce by Esserhaddon son of Senncharrib who extended the Assyrian Empire down to Southern Egypt. (I believe the southernmost city in Esserhaddon's reign was Memphis, Mitzraim (not Tennessee). <b> Upon doing this, he gave his Israelite porters whom he no longer needed a choice to be exiled to the far-eastern portion of the Assyrian Empire OR to leave his Empire for Sub-Saharan Africa. Around 670 bce, almost 300 years after the founding of the Jewish Kingdom of Schwa in Ethiopia, these "Castaway" Israelites departed the Assyrian Empire for Sub-Saharan Africa. They became the Nidachim b'Eretz Mitzraim in the Isaiah 27 prophesy above</b> and joined the existing Jewish kingdom in Ethiopia around 670 bce. For over 2650 years they remained there, even when the kings of Ethiopia converted to Xtianity and took on non-Jewish wives. Those kings were still descendants of King Shlomo, but they were no longer Jewish kings. </p><p>Still the Beita Yisrael of Ethiopia remained there. They had a legend that their portion of the tributary to the Blue Nile from Lake Tana in Northern Ethiopia roared all week long with rushing waters, but on Shabbat it was calm and placid. Yet, they could not leave their villages for Eretz Yisrael on Shabbat by crossing the Blue Nile to return to Israel. So they named that portion of the Blue Nile, the Sanbat River, Amhari or ancient Ge'ez for Shabbat. (I am not kidding here. This is their own Oral history.) When Operation Moses occurred, people had to make a 1000 mile trek to the Sudanese Desert from Gondar Province where Pres Numeri of Sudan was secretly allowing Israeli cargo jets to land and take off with Israelites who had made the trek. The operation went smoothly for about two months, rescuing about 7000 more Ethiopian Jews above the 7000 Israelites that Begin had been able to rescue earlier in the 1980s. It was suddenly stopped when the Arab World found out and pressured Numeri to stop the Operation. About 1000 Ethiopians were trapped in the Sudanese Desert until March when God HW Bush Sr. as Vice-President rescued whoever had not starved to death or died of thirst in the Desert in another operation called Yehoshua. And there things remained for over 6 years, nuclear families split in two. Half of some families were in Eretz Yisrael and half were in Ethiopia under the Communist Govt of Mengistu Miriam. In 1991 during the Civil War in Ethiopia, the Eritrean People's front in encroaching on the capital Addis Ababa. Suddenly in mid-May 1991 the Communist govt loses control of the Airport. <b>The Israeli govt realized that they had a 48 hour window to sweep into Addis Ababa and rescue the approximately 16000 to 18000 Ethiopian Jews who are in a compound run by the North American Council or Conference on Ethiopian Jewry that had been operating there as a refuge for over 6 years to reunite all the nuclear families that were split in two after Operation Moses. It is May 24th and 25th, and guess what? </b><a href="https://www.hebcal.com/converter?gd=24&gm=5&gy=1991&i=on&g2h=1" style="font-weight: bold;" target="_blank"> It is Friday afternoon and Shabbat, Parshat Nasso</a><b>, and during that 36 hour period, precisely at the time that the Sanbat River became placid for 2650 years, </b><a href="https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/operation-solomon" style="font-weight: bold;" target="_blank">16,000 to 18,000 Ethiopian Jews were rescued in Operation Shlomo. </a> <b>But wait a minute! It was not Parshat Nasso in Eretz Yisrael. That year Seder night had been on Shabbat, and there was an 8th day of Pesach on Shabbat outside of Israel. So Eretz Yisrael was on the following week's parshah on the Shabbat of the 24th of May (11th of Siwan 5751). In Eretz Yisrael when they landed it was Parshat be'Ha'alotcha not Parshat Nasso. At the very end of Parshat Be'Ha'alotcha Miriam, the sister of Moshe gets tzara'at (leprosy) because she spoke lashon hara about her brother marrying a black woman! No joke. This was the Parshah in that miraculous two year period of 5750 and 5751 when HaShem rescued the Nidachim b'Eretz Mitzraim, the Beita Yisrael of Ethiopia. So if anyone wants to challenge the Vilna Gaon on the veracity of his word that that Second Shofar blast for Geulah has already occurred over 30 years ago, you will need to challenge the established historical facts. וְהָיָה בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא, יִתָּקַע בְּשׁוֹפָר גָּדוֹל, וּבָאוּ הָאֹבְדִים בְּאֶרֶץ אַשּׁוּר, וְהַנִּדָּחִים בְּאֶרֶץ מִצְרָיִם has already occurred. </b></p><p>There is only one Shofar blast left, and it is occurring as I write this. And contrary to what many say, the Shofar blast in Zekharia 9 that brings Mashiach relates to WW3 beginning in Yemen. The last Shofar blast for Geulah in Shofarot Rosh HaShanah is:</p><p>Zekharia 9:14 <b>יד וַיהוָה עֲלֵיהֶם יֵרָאֶה, וְיָצָא כַבָּרָק חִצּוֹ; וַאדֹנָי יְהוִה בַּשּׁוֹפָר יִתְקָע, וְהָלַךְ בְּסַעֲרוֹת תֵּימָן.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>14 And the LORD shall be seen over them, and His Arrow (Missile) shall go forth as the lightning (Laser-guided?); and the Lord GOD will blow HIS own personal ram's horn, and will go with Stormwinds of Yemen.</b></p><p><b>This prophesy above is the Final Shofar blast for Redemption. Take it to the Judge. Because of the late hour, I will continue at a later time, hopefully before we might lose Electricity near the beginning of Adar Sheini. </b></p>Dov Bar-Leibhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15915682856620634130noreply@blogger.com97tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10578166.post-68567897792698255572023-07-17T23:30:00.006+03:002023-07-18T17:50:12.876+03:00The Final Rabbinic Regalia<p> I would like to make my readers aware of a Dvar Torah that the Sefath Emeth (Sefas Emes, Rav Yehudah Aryeh Leib Alter zt"l) said about 130 to 150 yrs ago. I found it in a very old version of an old Rabbanut Yom HaAtzma'ut Machzor that we still have in our possession. I found this wort not only amazingly prophetic but a key to unlock how the birth of the State Israel would somehow, someway suddenly one Tisha B'Av in the very near future morph into the vessel for the Messianic Era. More exactly how would this chaotic mixture of at least 6 million exiles be suddenly made the receptacle for the Coming of Mashiach ben David? (At this point the Jewish population here is at significantly over 7 million.) At this time watching the painstaking minuscule Judicial Reforms and the resistance of half the country under the leadership of Armilus (Ehud Olmert אולמרת with a thav or sav), it seems at a cursory glance decades into the future. As a matter of fact the sheer undignified Chutzpah of leftist pilots to threaten to ground their planes in protest might be the key to encourage Hezbollah to launch a surprise attack when the abandoned airforce jets remain in their hangars. </p><p>Either way, we remain in great need of a spiritually rejuvenating event for those secular Israelis who are not from the irredeemable Qlipot of the Erev Rav. The Prophecy in question is in Ezekiel 37. We shall call it Ezekiel's backup prophecy of the Arba Ruchot or his Prophecy of the 4 winds, a prophecy on the tail of the Dry bones, but unlike the dry bones prophecy, the 4 winds complimentary prophecy has not yet occurred! This is how I came by this. </p><p>The Sefas Emes made two indelible points. First he notes that the Shalosh Regalim (Pesach, Shavuot, and Sukkot) are like piercing brilliant sunlight. They are given in the Torah in several places, particularly in Parshat Emor (Lev 23) and in Parshat Pinchus (Numbers 28-29) and in Parshat Re'eh (Deut 16) amongst other places in the Written Torah. He then proceeds to make the point that we have two Rabbinic Regalim, festivals of joy or song or both, decreed by Chazal through Ruach HaQodesh either near the time of the end of prophetic inspiration or after the Ages of Prophesy had already terminated. <b>These Rabbinic festivals, though, are lunar reflections of the Shalosh Regalim! So where the 3 Regalim from the Torah shine like the Sun, the 2 Rabbinic Regalim reflect the light of the Sun as the Moon does.</b> <b>He further goes on to hint that at the end of History there will be one more (or two more as we will soon see) Rabbinic festivals to reflect as the Moon does the light of the Torah's three Regalim.</b></p><p>The Sefas Emes then goes on to explain that The 8 days of Chanukah reflected the original dedication of Shlomo HaMelekh's Temple which concluded during the 7 days of Sukkot/ +1 day of Shmini Atzereth. And then he describes how at Sinai the Written Torah was accepted with love (on Shavuot), but how Klal Yisrael was forced to accept the Oral Torah through coercion by threatening to drop Mt Sinai on their heads. Only when Queen Esther decreed a 3 day fast to annul in Heaven Haman's extermination decree (during Pesach, by the way), did Klal Yisrael accept the Oral Torah with love during Pesach to alter their original reticence during Shavuot 2448. The realization of the annulment of the extermination decree was realized the following Purim and Shushan Purim, 11 months later (after the original decree was annulled on the 23rd of Siwan). To be exact, the Fast of Esther lasted either the 13th, 14th and 15th of Nissan with the first banquet of the King and Haman on the 16th at night and the hanging of Haman on the 17th at night, the 2nd night of Chol HaMoed. Or the fast was on the 14th, 15th, and 16th of Nissan with the first banquet on the 17th at night and the hanging of Haman on the 18th of Nissan, the third night of Chol HaMoed. Either way, the Feast of Unleavened Bread on the 1st night of Pesach was canceled that year, for the afternoon of the 14th and the 15th at night were central to Teshuvah b'Ahavah for originally rejecting the Oral Torah.</p><p>So this is where the Sefas Emeth's dvar Torah on this subject SEEMS to end, but one realizes that he was saying a lot more. First of all, let us digress into how Isru Chag of all the festivals is actually from the Torah. Everyone knows that a Qorban Shlamim was a festive offering that could be brought all year round. One offered it during the day and after allowing for the Kohen to properly pour its blood at the Altar and to partake of his portion of the Qorban and to give to G-d His portion on the altar, the party of people had 2 days and the night in the middle to festively eat the Qorban. The following night at Sundown, the Qorban was forbidden at which point if one partakes, he/she gets Karet (spiritual excision). Now in a majority of circumstances, most people would come to the Tabernacle at Shilo and the Temples in Yerushalayim to offer a Peace offering during the 3 Regalim or Pilgrimage festivals and would offer it up during the festival from the first day, during Chol HaMoed or on the last day of Chag Pesach or on Shmini Atzereth. <b>In this way, if the Peace offering was offered up during the festival the Peace offering was a Chagigah which could be eaten on the day that it was offered + one additional day.</b> Shavuoth stands out as a one day festival, but our sages made it possible to offer up Qorbanot for 6 additional days so that Israel or later just Judea would not neglect to come for just one day of Shavuot. Imagine walking for 3 days and turning back around on Isru Chag 2 days later to walk home for 3 days! I believe these extra 6 days for Shavuot are D'Rabbanan though. So the only D'Oraita day to turn your Peace offering into a Chagigah was on Shavuot (6th of Siwan or day 50 of Sefirat HaOmer) itself. <b>But once again as with other Festive offerings (Chagigot), the Qedushah of that Chagigah lasted until the end of Isru Chag, that one day after the holy party seemed to be over. In this way that one day after had the Qedushah of the days of the festival, at least the Qedushah of Chol haMoed for anyone still partaking of a Qorban Chagigah. This is the spiritual essence of Isru Chag.</b></p><p>So going back to the words of the Sefas Emes, what did he mean that Purim and Pesach were lunar reflections of 2 of the 3 Shalosh Regalim? To be the lunar reflection of something, one needs to follow the regularity of the cycles of the Moon! So just like Pesach is the full moon for the month of Nissan, Purim and Shushan Purim are at the Full moon for the previous month of Adar. So Purim falls exactly one lunar cycle (30 days) before Pesach begins. And the way the holy calendar usually works, the full moon for 30 day months like Nissan is the 15th of the month while the Full moon for 29 day months like Adar or Adar Sheini is between the 14th and 15th of Adar or Adar Sheini! Now THIS is what the Sefas Emes ALSO meant, for how is Purim a "lunar reflection" of Shavuot simply because it completed the acceptance of the Oral Torah that had begun on Shavuot 2448?? What does accepting the Oral Torah out of Love have to do with the cycles of the Moon? Why mention the Moon at all? But here we see that Purim really is a lunar reflection of Pesach! Now going to the end of Chag Sukkot/Shmini Atzereth 6 months later we recognize that Shmini Atzereth is on the 22nd of Tishrei and Isru Chag is on the 23rd of Tishrei. <b>From there, the end of Isru Chag, we count forward, not 30 days, but 60 days or 2 lunar cycles. In every year Tishrei has 30 days, and in most years (not every year) Cheshvan has 29 days. So 60 days after the end of the day on Isru Chag Sukkot we reach Sundown on the 25th of Kislev, the first night of Chanukah! Now THIS is what the Sefas Emes was referring to! Both Purim and Chanukah are lunar reflections of Pesach and Sukkot, one 30 days before and the other 60 days after Isru Chag. And only at the End of Days would there be a certain prophecy which would come to pass divided in two, part of it 30 days prior to Shavuot and part of it 60 days after the 7th of Siwan, Isru Chag of Shavuot. So in this way do the words of the Sefas Emes really make sense. The question then comes down to which prophecy, how can we pin it down, and how do we know that that very prophecy comes in two parts separated by years of doubt or better yet a Nisayon.</b></p><p>To be continued.....</p><p>Just to give a preview, the Prophecy in question is the Haftarah of Chol HaMoed Pesach, the first half of Ezekiel 37. It is the prophecy chosen for Shabbat Chol HaMoed Pesach for a reason, to be the Acharit HaYamim prophesy for both Pesach, Sefirat HaOmer, until the day of Atzereth (Shavuot) itself. <b>Exactly 30 days prior to Shavuot is Hey B'Iyar, The Day of the Dry Bones.</b> It is a oft quoted joke of Chareidi non-Zionists that Yom HaAtzmaut (Independence Day) is really Yom Atzamot (Day of the Dry Bones). <b>The really funny thing is that the joke IS the Truth, the physical redemption of Israel without the Ruchniyut Redemption, and G-d in the year 5708, 3 years after Auschwitz, was not laughing.</b> <b>Exactly 60 days after Isru Chag of Shavuot is Tisha B'Av, the long awaited future event that can be best translated as the Prophecy of the 4 Winds, the future event which has not yet occurred.</b> <b>It IS a separate prophecy in Ezekiel 37</b>. First he prophesied on the dry bones, and when he saw that there was no spirit in those ingathered exiles, HaShem told him to prophesy over the 4 winds. <b>So Ezekiel in that rather short Haftarah for Chol HaMoed Pesach, prophesied twice, once about the physical redemption on Hey b'Iyar, the ingathering of Dry Bones, that everyone remembers and once about the spiritual redemption on Tisha B'Av, the Arba Ruchot, that few even know about.</b></p><p>More than anything I wanted to discuss my thoughts on other matters, but I want this posted by Rosh Chodesh Av.

I will gladly explain the reason for my brevity in the Comments.</p><p>To be honest, I have noticed an uncharacteristic inconsistency in this second to last verse in Psalm 115 for as long as I have been saying Hallel (Psalms 113- 118) as a Baal Teshuvah in the early 1980s. Every Chag except Purim and every Rosh Chodesh includes this verse whether full Hallel or Half Hallel is recited. Something about it was unsettling, and early on I put my finger on it: I am speaking about Psalm 115:17. Psalm 115 is the third psalm in Hallel, and even when only half-Hallel is said, verse 17 is included.</p><p> לֹא הַמֵּתִים, יְהַלְלוּ-יָהּ; וְלֹא, כָּל-יֹרְדֵי דוּמָה.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>17 The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence (Duma);</p><p>יח וַאֲנַחְנוּ, נְבָרֵךְ יָהּ-- מֵעַתָּה וְעַד-עוֹלָם:</p><p>הַלְלוּ-יָהּ.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>18 But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and for ever. {N}</p><p>Hallelujah.</p><p>We are told at the beginning of this verse that the Dead do not praise HaShem. <b>So If those who go down to Duma are those who need to have their souls cleansed for up to 11 months in Gehinnom after they die, why emphasize that they ALSO do not praise HaShem?? </b> According to this peirush, Duma is the Angel that guards the Gate to the fires of Gehinnom. Yes, we are talking about an unusual Fire that tries all Ten Sefirot of the Neshamah. This is no ordinary fire, but if the Psalmist, David, is trying to emphasize the worst possible punishment against the Dead, Gehinnom does not hold a candle to eternal cancellation of the soul or Kaf HaKela, when the Angels fling one's soul across the Universe back and forth for 100 years or 1000 years or Eternity (a form of Angelic Chai ALai) mentioned in Shmuel Aleph 25:29. Assuredly, those who are in Kaf HaKela do not praise HaShem either. So we are stuck with the apparent redundant nature that the Dead do not praise Kah including those who do not go down to Gehinnom or those who go to Kaf HaKela or those who go down to She'ol or those who go directly into Gan Eden.... Take your pick.</p><p>Usually when the Psalms mention two things in parallel with each other, one sees a comparison between something more kal or light with something more chamur or stronger in order that the addition of the new aspect at the end of the pasuk adds a Chiddush. For instance, </p><p>ז צַדִּיק יְהוָה, בְּכָל-דְּרָכָיו; וְחָסִיד, בְּכָל-מַעֲשָׂיו.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>17 The LORD is righteous in all His ways, and a Chassid in all His works. from Psalm 145</p><p>From here we see that in all G-d's ways measured by His Laws, He is Just, but Beyond the Measure of His attribute of Justice, we see His Chessed in His Deeds (not just His Ways). So we see here that the second half of the verse comes as a Chiddush on the first half of the verse. There are no wasted words, and the second half of the verse is not a redundant expression of the first half. This type of parallelism with a Chiddush in the second half is a regular feature in Sefer Tehillim. The words were given to the Psalmist (for the most part King David) through Ruach HaQodesh (Holy Spirit) channeling sanctity into the words and guaranteeing that none of the words would be either redundant or flippant. So that leaves us with the APPARENT exception to this rule, Psalm 115:17. Now I write apparent exception because deep down we know that none of David's words were redundant or flippant. <b>There has to be a different understanding of this verse than the oft-noted explanation which solves the problem of redundancy and flippancy, G-d forbid.</b></p><p>The second point about Psalm 115 is something I noticed several years later after I learned of the deep structure of Redemption expressed through the Order of Service in the Pesach Seder. We notice right away that the the 4 cups of wine are divided neatly two before the Main Meal and two after the main meal (Shulchan Orekh) because the first Redemption was done with the Yud and the first Hey in HaShem's Name while the Final Redemption will be done with the attaching of the Vav and the Final Hey in HaShem's Name to the Yud and the First Hey once Amaleq can be destroyed in the world. This explains why ALL of the Maggid (Telling) of the Redemption from Mitzraim, followed by the 2nd cup of wine, must be completed BEFORE the HaMotzi and the Torah Mitzvah of Eating Matzah which begins the Meal. <b>Maggid must come after the Middle Matzah has been split during Yachatz with the Smaller piece of Matzah being the one over which we tell the story of the Exodus while the larger piece of Matzah is the piece of Matzah that symbolizes the Greater and Grander Final Redemption After the Meal. The meal itself is reminiscent of eating the Qorban Pesach with Maror and Matzah and the Qorban Chagigah for Pesach when there was a Temple and of all of of Jewish history since the Temple was destroyed when we had neither Qorban</b> Surviving this larger segment of Jewish history when there was no Temple required this annual spectacle called the Pesach Seder to ensure that we and our descendants would still be around almost 2000 years later. So the Meal somehow represents the entire span of Jewish History from the Exodus from Egypt until the Simanim of the Arrival of the Era of Mashiach ben Yosef. We have discussed on this blog how the simanim of Mashiach ben Yosef was the greening of the hills of Eretz Yisrael from the First Agricultural Aliyah of 1882 when 4 agricultural settlements were founded in the same year 1882 (Rosh HaPinah, Petach Tikvah, Rishon LeTzion, and Zikhron Ya'akov). Two of these settlings were actually repeats. Rosh HaPinah and Petach Tikvah had previously been established but had been wiped out either by Arab terrorists in Rosh HaPinah and a Malaria epidemic in Petach Tikvah. Both Rosh HaPinah and Petach Tikvah had been unsuccessfully established in 1878. Somehow the hidden Matzah is reminiscent of the world falling to the 50th level of Tumah before Mashiach ben Yosef, something that has recently occurred about 6 1/2 years ago. The Run up from the founding of Zikhron Yaakov (when G-d remembers Ya'akov) until today is just over 140 years. Alas after the ingathering of exiles and the 6th election of Bibi Netanyahu (the 5th Mashiach ben Yosef) and the Aliyah to Israel of Yehonatan Pollard (the 6th Mashiach ben Yosef), we arrive at the moment of the 3rd cup of wine (The Vav in HaShem's Name). At this stage because Eliyahu HaNavi lost the mantle to herald the Coming of Mashiach ben Yosef, we arrive at the event of the coming of Eliyahu HaNavi to herald Mashiach ben David (the 4th cup of wine and the Final Hey in HaShem's Name). So after drinking the 3rd cup of wine, we pour the cup of Eliyahu HaNavi and open the front door and proclaim with a loud voice for HaShem to pour out His Wrath on the Gentiles that do not know Him, specifically against those who have massacred the seed of Ya'akov with bloody pogroms throughout the Ages. <b>One of the ways that we will know that we have reached that moment in history is if the nation that spilled the most Jewish blood for the last 2000 years is itself having its blood spilled almost indiscriminately. For that nation will be completely wiped out from being a nation under the Heavens!</b></p><p>I<b>f one does a quick study of the various nations of the world where Jews have lived in significant numbers and which nation has shed the most Jewish blood at least in the last thousand years (including the last 3 generations) invariably we will arrive at the Ukraine or Ukraine. </b> For hundreds of years The Ukraine was The Borderland for at least three empires (Russian, Lithuanian, and Polish and sometimes Polish-Lithuanian). Until 1648 The Ukraine (The Borderland) was not Ukraine, an independent country. The year 1648, that very year, that Ukraine finally became an independent country under its leader Bogdan Chielminitzky (whose statue is all over Kiev), Ukraine proceeded to slaughter anywhere between 200,000 and 700,000 Jews! They did horrible tortures reminiscent of the future Shoah slightly less than 300 years later. Sadly there was no census that had been done of the Jews that were murdered in the areas that the Ukrainian Cossacks conquered including large parts of Poland, BelaRus, and Galitcia. So all we have are estimates of the numbers who were murdered. <b>In most of the estimates up to 1/3 of all Eastern European Jews may have been murdered between 1648 and 1649 on the very birthday of the founding of a the nation that slaughtered them, the Ukrainians. If there be any place in Europe that might be called the Graveyard for World Jewry, that place would be the blood soaked land of Ukraine. And it really did not stop. From Tach veTat to willing accomplices with the Nazis to murder European Jewry almost 300 years later, the Ukraine topped the list in most categories of Blood and Gore. Is it a wonder that when we say and pray to G-d: </b></p><p><i><b style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Arial; font-size: 17px;">Pour out Your wrath</b><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 17px;"> upon the nations that do not acknowledge You, and upon the kingdoms that do not call upon Your Name. For they have devoured Jacob and laid waste his habitation. Pour out Your indignation upon them, and let the wrath of Your anger overtake them. Pursue them with anger, and destroy them from beneath the heavens of the L‑rd.</span><b> </b></i></p><p><b>Is there any question that the number one nation that we should have in mind that has done these things in a consistent manner for the last 375 years since its inception as a nation to the descendants of Ya'akov is Ukraine? Without even one Jew pushing any button, is it a wonder that the G-d's </b><b>Revenge against the nations of the world that have tortured Jews throughout the centuries begins right there? And have the Ukrainians EVER apologized for Tach veTat (1648 and 49) or all the massacres of Jews since? Have they ever taken down their statues of Bogdan in the Kiev public square in shame for what he and their ancestors did? Have they taught their kids in schools "Tach veTat studies", the same way that all German children today must know about the Holocaust? </b>No reflection on their wicked past, just crickets and the proclamation that their President is a Jewish comedian who renounced his Judaism by raising his children in the Ukrainian Church years ago cutting his descendants off from any Jewish destiny. I have no personal animus against Volodymyr Zelenskyy, but if he is the monument to the new Ukrainian Jewry, then Bogdan Chielminitzky succeeded in his mission without slaying any more Jewish babies with his sword. <b> The point for this essay is we have arrived at this stirring statement in the Haggadah for the End of Days after pouring Eliyahu's cup, and we prepare ourselves for what comes immediately next: <span style="font-size: large;"> Psalm 115, yes the above Psalm 115, one and the same. </span></b></p><p>Let us take a step back. First notice that in the Pesach Seder, we also say Hallel, albeit without a Brakhah specifically no Brakhah for Hallel. <b>But the first two psalms in Hallel are said with the Maggid step in the Hagaddah, at the end of Maggid, before the Meal! This tells us immediately, that the first two prakim of Hallel are for the Redemption from Egypt and not for the Final Redemption! </b> So we arrive at the inevitable conclusion that since the first two chapters of Hallel are specifically for the Redemption from Egypt, then the last four Prakim (Psalms) of Hallel are for the Final Redemption specifically starting with Psalm 115. <b> It is why we start with Psalm 115 after praying for revenge against the nations that have murdered us and conclude with Psalm 118 before Hodu LaShem ki Tov and Nishmat Kal Chai followed by the 4th cup of wine. So in this way, Psalm 115, not Psalm 113, is emblematic of the beginning of the Final Redemption (after the Revenge against those who have murdered us has already begun). </b></p><p>So now I must return to the Winter and Spring of 2016. Several young adult "Hilltop youth" had been implicated in an arson case in the Arab town of Duma where an entire Arab family may have been murdered in the Summer of 2015. The question that has never been answered was Who Dunit? Was it done by a group of Jewish arsonist extremists or another Arab family in the same village looking for revenge? <b> Apparently, only G-d knows because to be honest, the Jewish Division of the Shin Bet never proved a d-mn thing.</b> The leader of the youth who were implicated wrongfully without a body of evidence was the grandson of Rav Meir Kahane zt"l, Meir Ettinger. That would be Meir Ettinger was the son of Rav Kahane's daughter, Tova Kahane- Ettinger. Almost a dozen of these youths were put wrongfully in prison for months on end often tortured to extract a confession. Shaba"k was able to extract one conviction from all this without any evidence to support this conviction. Amiram ben Ulliel is still in prison for this conviction. What was fascinating from the conviction from the beginning is that for months on end, these youths did not have regular discussions with a lawyer. They could be held and potentially tortured inside a Shaba'k dungeon without Habeas Corpus or of what should be required, a Writ of Habeas Corpus. No regular meeting with a lawyer. Techniques to extract confessions that may be the equivalent of torture. I always imagined that Shaba"k had a 500 year old Torqemada torture rack in a dungeon somewhere, and they were using it to extract confessions. Since there was 0 oversight over what they were doing with these youths for months on end, it could be easily imagined that they tried almost everything. And since their techniques for extracting confessions were done in complete secrecy, imagining what they were potentially doing is 100% justified. <b>Down in the dungeon of the Jewish Division of Shaba"k where no one can hear you scream where no one could praise HaShem.</b> Sometime near the end of Adar 5776 there was a Brit Milah for a boy, the son of Meir Ettinger, who by this time had been held for 7 months? 8 months? <b>But the Shaba"k authorities would not let Meir out of the dungeon to attend his own son's brit milah! So thousands of us went. I even saw Betzalel Smotrich at the event at the Breslov Shul in the Shaarei Chessed neighborhood. Betzalel was in street clothes.</b> He was not there in any official capacity for Bayit Yehudi. Yes, it was a fascinating and moving affair, a brit milah for a boy whose father was being tortured by Shaba'k to extract a confession that he never gave. Eventually after 10 months in this dungeon he was let free. What I remember most of all is that there was an organization for the Yordei Duma (those who had gone down into the Shaba"k dungeon to be questioned about the Duma arson case.) The name of that organization was Choneinu. <b> And there was a young lawyer who took on the entire case of clients that he could not even talk to pro bono. He did not expect a shekel for his services. Perhaps he was paid a measly stipend by Choneinu. It mattered not. The Tzaddiq who took this case on was Itamar Ben Gvir, and I knew right then and there that somehow, someway this tzaddiq would be the lightning rod to introduce Mashiach ben David to the entire world, a man that 2/3rds of Mankind (the world's reprobate majority) would learn to hate for being that very tzaddiq! Almost 7 years have passed since that fateful Brit Milah of Meir Ettinger's son, and Ben Gvir has burst on the scene almost precisely as I expected him to. The Yordei Duma (those who went down because of Duma), well, they are the parallel construct, the Chiddush on the second half of that second to last verse in Psalm 115 that only makes sense after the fact with 20/20 hindsight What happens, next, we shall see.</b></p><p><b><i>For anyone thinking of censoring, in no way do I approve of Rav Kahane's call to exile all Arabs from this Holy Land. Every gentile who has the privilege to live here must keep 7 Laws of human decency. Amongst the 7 are laws against Murder and laws to passionately be revolted of those who do murder to be a witness against murderers in Courts of Law. A gentile does not have to put his life on the line to uphold the Courts of Justice clause, but if he celebrates in any way the murder of Jews, he has lost his right to be here, for he celebrates murder and would not be a witness against a murder suspect. Those who take candy in public in the squares of Ramallah to celebrate the success of murder or who attend parties for a shahid suicide bomber, they have forfeited their residency in Eretz Yisrael because of a lack of human decency. Sadly approximately 70 to 75% of Israel's Arabs with or without citizenship support the murderers who blow up pizza parlors or civilian busses. So 70 to 75% of Israel's Arabs have forfeited their residency through their lack of human decency according to Noachide Law. So as we hone in on the final exact figure, Meir Kahane was 70 to 75% correct..</i></b></p><p>-</p><p><br /></p>Dov Bar-Leibhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15915682856620634130noreply@blogger.com754tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10578166.post-36643028882959377932022-07-06T21:27:00.003+03:002022-07-06T23:35:06.433+03:00The Three Necessary Ingredients of "In Its Time"<p> This will be a short post, and if these three conditions are not met, it may be my last post at least for a while. (<b>Upon receiving Reader Comments I have decided to slow down my blog to reflect on the situation and not to mothball my blog after all.</b>) I have been writing about the End of Days since the Winter of 2004/ 2005, and deep down I always believed that the End of the Shmittah year 5782 would be the B'itah keitz. I have discussed in numerous places on this blog why I have thought this from the last few p'sukim in Sefer Daniel to Zekharia 13 with 2/3rds of Mankind in a state of moral degeneracy and reprobation (below Mem Tet Shaarei tumah). The last several posts on this blog discuss these matters in great detail. Since the Gog ben Gog Bush Presidency and 9/11, we have had numerous opportunities to bring Mashiach within b'itah, Achishena. A test of basic human decency was required to be passed (often by observant Jews) in order to hasten the process, and we failed the test. Now, frankly I believe that our backs our against the Wall at the end of history. The Majority of humanity no longer thinks that human decency is defined by G-d Above but only in the recesses of their own hearts. In such a world Israel is at odds with the natural order of things in that the majority of the human race is either hostile or ambivalent to our/Israel's continued national existence. The Supernatural order of things must openly become more and more expressed to guarantee our survival. The In G-d We Trust nation/ superpower is basically dead with more than half of all Americans no longer trusting in the G-d whose Name secures the value of their nation's World Reserve Currency status. In such a world one can no longer simply be preserved through Teva (Nature's G-d) or through wars won in 6 Days. Literally mountains will need to be split in two, (a supernatural sign of "Don't tread on them!")</p><p>Several years ago, a tremendous tzaddiq, whom I had the privilege to know, passed away. His name was Yaakov Tabak MD zt"l. We had several discussions about Acharit HaYamim. He would often find sources for events as they were occurring amongst our classic commentaries. For instance as the Gush Qatif Evacuation saga was unfolding and as it became more and more likely that the slow moving train wreck would occur (after the Ashkenazi Chareidi Party joined Sharon's govt for the money), he immediately made people aware of the Targum Yonatan ben Uziel's lengthy commentary on Devarim (Deut 34: 2-3) where the Targum translates The City of Date Palms in the following:</p><p>ב וְאֵת, כָּל-נַפְתָּלִי, וְאֶת-אֶרֶץ אֶפְרַיִם, וּמְנַשֶּׁה; וְאֵת כָּל-אֶרֶץ יְהוּדָה, עַד הַיָּם הָאַחֲרוֹן.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>2 and all Naphtali, and the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, and all the land of Judah as far as the last (Most Western) sea;</p><p>ג וְאֶת-הַנֶּגֶב, וְאֶת-הַכִּכָּר בִּקְעַת יְרֵחוֹ עִיר הַתְּמָרִים--עַד-צֹעַר.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>3 and the South, and the Plain, the valley of Jericho <b>the city of palm-trees</b>, as far as Tzoar.</p><p>as "Qirvat Dekaliya being evacuated and sent into exile of 200,000 soldiers from Klal Yisrael" at the End of Days, in the words of the Targum Yonatan. Dr. Tabak and the rest of us who knew of this commentary took some solace that b'itah, absent a tremendous turn to revere Heaven at the last minute, <b>the largest Jewish City in Gaza, Newe Dekalim was headed for destruction at the hands of 200,000 Israeli soldiers, </b>100% as described by the Targum.<b> </b> It did not HAVE to be, but absent a collective realization of human decency, it was going to occur...., and it did. And the Targum right there also predicted that Gog of Edom was pulling the puppet, Sharon, by some long distance strings to make sure that it would happen. After the eventuality of that Churban which DID begin on the Tenth of Av (when it was planned for the 9th), Dr. Tabak and I had some meaningful conversations about what the Tzoar in this prophesy was all about, and we started talking about the very End. </p><p><b>From my discussions with Dr. Tabak I learned that the last nine months (the travail of the 271 day pregnancy before the Messianic Era) spoken about in Micah 4 and 5 and the Gemorrah in Sanhedrin would take place either in the 6th year or the 7th year of a Shmittah cycle between either the 10th to the 15th of Tevet in a regular year (<i>Or the 10th and 15th of Shevat in a year with two Adars</i>) and its end point being either the 1st day of Sukkot or Hoshana Rabbah. </b>In actuality, Dr. Tabak spoke about how that the end point of the 9 months either would be on Sukkot or on Hoshana Rabbah while its beginning point would be nine months earlier in either Tevet or Shevat depending on whether there would be one or two Adars. Through our discussions we came to the conclusion that the nine months would need to be during either the 6th or 7th year of a Shmittah cycle based on the Gemorrah that Voices would be heard in year 6, Wars in year 7, and ben David would come in year 8. <b> If the Wars in year 7 were the essence of the Redemption, then the pregnancy would begin in "January" of year 6 while if the son of David coming was the essence of the Redemption, then the pregnancy would begin in "January" of year 7. And the hallmark of those nine months would be a concerted and intense effort by the Nations of the World and the Erev Rav to divide Israel (Yoel 3 and 4) and to divide Yerushalayim specifically (Zekharia 14) between Israel and the Roman (or Edomite) name of an invented Muslim people, Palestine.</b> So this is the source of the title of my post in June last year about the <a href="http://yearsofawe.blogspot.com/2021/06/crunch-time-last-trimester-of-final-9.html" target="_blank">Last Trimester of the 9 Months. </a> Since Yehonatan Pollard, the last Mashiach ben Yosef, touched down in Israel on the 15th of Tevet 5781 and since the Suffering of Yosef and the Suffering of Tzion parallel each other, I assumed at least the strong possibility that the 9 months starting in Tevet 5781, a regular year, began with the arrival of Pollard in Israel. But when Yerushalayim was not split in two during those fateful nine months following the 15th of Tevet, it became obvious that those nine months were pushed off to the Shmittah year 5782. And at the end of those nine months, we would need to "escape Yerushalayim" for a short time as G-d judges the World during Sukkot. And we would escape through the split in the Mt of Olives into the Judean Desert or Maaleh Adumim with half of the mountain moving north and the other half moving south. And the ultimate judgement of fire, meteoric stones, and fiery coals from Rotem trees on the Wicked would be on Hoshana Rabbah of either the 7th or 8th year (Motzei Shmittah) of that fateful Shmittah cycle. This I also discussed in detail with Dr. Tabak in one of our final conversations before he passed away. It would also follow at the end of a cycle where Rain became more and more scarce in the first three years of the cycle,<b> but that the Heavens would open on Eretz Yisrael in years 4 and 5 of that cycle, and this DID occur here with record breaking rainfalls in 5779 and 5780 the fourth and fifth years of this present Shmittah cycle.</b> <b><a href="https://www.gov.il/he/departments/news/news-kinneret" target="_blank">Look at the Kinneret Levels for 2019 and 2020 right here to see how much it rained in those two years.</a> Rainfall in 5779 and 5780 was downright dramatic. </b><b>So the die was cast even if we had lost the privilege for a major spiritual awakening in the 5th year of this cycle as described in other posts because the spiritual awakening in year 5 was supposed to be lead by the Chareidi world, but in year 4 of the 5762- 5768 cycle in 5765, they were tested to see if they would take the lead in year 5. But they were found absent from the challenge. (</b><i>Not all the Chareidim were absent. Rav Ovadia Yosef and most Sefaradim were keenly involved in stopping the Disengagement. So were many Chassidim and their Rebbes. But in many cases, the Ashkenazim on this issue had their collective heads in Brooklyn, not on doing what was morally correct for Jews in Israel</i><b style="font-style: italic;">.) </b>That was the test for proceeding with redemption in the Gog ben Gog Bush Shmittah cycle. The opportunity was blown.</p><p>Into this mix came one more mitigating factor which would reduce the suffering in Eretz Yisrael during these final nine months, and on a few occasions I had the additional privilege of discussing these details with Dr Tabak zt"l before he passed away. <b> In August of 2013, the Ba'al Kerry (Sec of State John Kerry under Obama) announced his "9 month plan for intense negotiations" to split Eretz Yisrael between Israel and Palestine. It was during Av at the end of the 5th year of the previous Shmittah cycle which ended in Sept 2015, and those 9 months of the Ba'al Kerry were set to end around Pesach 5774 of the 6th year of that previous Cycle. </b>Tzippy Livni would lead these negotiations that were being forced on Israel, and the "Witch of Eindor" Livni was so proud of herself as a representative of a pitzy little peace party to be leading Israel towards all kinds of concessions as the Peace contingent of the Netanyahu govt that was being pulled into the fray by Obama and Kerry. The condition of Israel's participation in this attempt to earn Kerry or Obama a Nobel Peace prize was that we would admit guilt that all those Jews murdered by Arab terrorists for the last 50 years were only murdered (or killed) in an "Act of War" and not in Acts of Terror, and in reality all those terrorists were really freedom fighters. <b>So Israel would be required to release in four separate releases 26 Arab murderers from our jails every nine to ten weeks, four separate releases x 26 murderers per release being equal to a total of 104 murderous Arabs who deserved their freedom!... according to the warped minds of Obama and the Ba'al Kerry. And those releases would take place regardless of how those "Piece talks" were going just for the privilege of seeking Peace with the invented people, 75% of whom want us dead in accordance to almost every poll I have ever seen! This was the condition of Israel having a place at the Pieces table!! </b>And the Sicko Witch of Eindor was so so happy to participate. Well any frum Jew with a Mind bigger than a Pea could see what was going on. <b>HaShem (Yud Key Vav Key) for whom whose Four letters has the Gematriah of 26 was playing out these 9 months on a very deep and elevated, sublime level so that the 9 months would end in the Rachmanut of Pesach.</b> Well the months passed by with the first three sickening releases of bloodthirsty savages taking place in accordance with the Ba'al Kerry's schedule. So during those first 30 weeks of the Ba'al Kerry's nine months, 78 Arab murderers were released from Israeli jails. It was obvious that during all this, the Netanyahu Govt was a puny little slave to the whims of the Ba'al Kerry through Tzippy Livni's pitzy little Pieces of Israel Party, but to give him some credit, Netanyahu used Livni's eagerness to be loved by the world and the Arab's eagerness to want everything on the menu against them by balking at several key points in this Obama/Kerry setup. And near the end of the negotiations, Bibi decided to throw a monkeywrench into this evil affair by demanding the release of Yehonatan Pollard before Pesach in order for the Releases (the fourth release) and the negotiations to continue. At this stage Pollard was still rotting in Solitary Confinement. <b>But Kerry's response was classic Amaleq. "You want the release of the Mashiach ben Yosef of the End of history? You need to release an ADDITIONAL 400 MEN from your filthy little prison for freedom fighters if you want to see Yosef (or Yehonatan) before Pesach!" Just a reminder, according to our sages only Yosef could stare into the eyes {the Ayin Ra or Evil Eye (Gematriah 400) of both Esav (עשו) and Amaleq (עמלק)} of Esav when he was approaching Ya'akov with 400 men in Genesis 33. From this we see that the Ba'al Kerry was and still is from the seed of Amaleq. There is no accident that he would immediately come up with the figure of an additional 400 murderers in exchange for Pollard if he did not instinctively know that Yehonatan Pollard was his arch-Foe, Mashiach ben Yosef. </b>When Bibi heard this response from Kerry, he immediately declined the offer to release 400 more Arab murderers from our jails and immediately declined to follow through with the fourth release of the remaining 26 murderers for the privilege of continuing negotiations with the invented people.<b> The Evil scheme ended in failure, but only after watching 78 murderers go free.... to likely murder again while we watched the parade of the relatives of the victims of these murderers go through the devastating loss of their murdered loved ones, being forced to relive it once again with the release of the murderers who had shed the blood of their loved ones. </b> It was a horrible debacle. Thank G-d it did not end with a Pieces of Israel Treaty which would have simply ended in more horrible bloodshed from and approved by 75% of our bloodthirsty cousins. </p><p>But in spite of the unmitigated horror of the above while it was happening over 8 years ago in real time, I have believed for the last 8 years that this horrible affair was not for nothing. It seems that about 75% or 3/4 of the pain and duration of these present nine months were mitigated, (ממותק) in Hebrew, by the pain and duration of those 9 months of John Kerry. In Qabbalah as I have discussed in other posts on this blog there are Four Universes where the Four Letters of the Divine Name are specifically active with a stress on One letter having specific influence on each Universe. The Yud is specifically prevalent over Atzilut (where G-d has eternally existed even before the Creation of the other Universes). The Sefirot Keter and Chochmah emanate from the Yud. the Upper or First Hey is most active in Beri'ah (the Universe of Ex nihilo Creation). The Sefirah of Binah emanates from this Hey. The 6 emotional Sefirot (Gedulah, Gevurah, Tifereth, Netzach, Hod, and Yesod) emanate from the Vav in HaShem's Name which is most prevalent in Yetzirah (the Universe of the Actualization or Formation of Creation). And the Final Hey is most prevalent in the lowest Universe, Asiyah, and this Final Hey emanates the Sefirah of Malkhut (the Kingship of HaShem). <b>When all four Universes are filled, His Name will be One. Until then His Name is split in two by Amaleq, the likes of the Ba'al Kerry in the world. </b> I do not think that I can do this entire subject justice in this one little paragraph. I have written in a more detailed fashion about the <a href="http://yearsofawe.blogspot.com/2006/10/filling-of-four-universes.html" target="_blank">Four Universes here in this link</a> and in other posts like <a href="http://yearsofawe.blogspot.com/2012/07/" target="_blank">here</a>. Notice that the Universe of Asiyah is not ultimately filled by the Divine Presence until between the 25th of Elul of the Shmittah year and the 17th of Marcheshvan in hopefully the Coming Motzei (post) Shmittah year. Here is the Chart from Sefer HaLeshem dealing with the Filling of the Four Universes provided to me by Rav Pinchus Winston many years ago:</p><p><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3169/824/1600/Arizal%20timeline%20and%20Names%20of%20G-d.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" height="214" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3169/824/320/Arizal%20timeline%20and%20Names%20of%20G-d.jpg" style="cursor: hand;" width="415" /></a></p><p><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3169/824/1600/Arizal%20timeline%20and%20Names%20of%20G-d.jpg" target="_blank">Here is a link to a larger more detailed image of the above colorful Chart of the Filling of 4 Universes.</a> </p><p>So if the above is correct, and we are at the End of the Nine Months in Year 7, then the following three things need to happen in order to have B'itah Geulah by Sukkot of 5783, the Motzei Shmittah year. At first glance these three things are downright scary, precisely because they are downright scary. But what they portend is Final Geulah by Sukkot. <b>I am at the stage now that if these three things do not happen that I was considering temporarily mothballing this blog until these things occur. I would do so NOT because that I have ceased to believe that Mashiach is coming, but because for a huge chunk of my life I have verily believed that the B'itah keitz is during Sukkot of 5783, the Motzei Shmittah year of last resort. And if they do not happen, how can I contribute to the discussion of Endtimes events if I have failed to demarcate the end of these matters? But as I mentioned above, I will temporarily write less in order to reflect on what is happening without mothballing my blog. Here are the three things that need to happen by the 25th of Elul to set up Redemption during Tishrei 5783:</b></p><p><span face="arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #202020;">I am holding by the 3 things below that MUST happen by the last week in Elul. If they do not develop, I will be temporarily pausing from frequent posts and updates on this blog until things become more relevant. I believe strongly in the b'itah nature of this keitz, so strongly, that if these things do not happen, I would need time to reflect on what I can possibly contribute.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: arial, sans-serif;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: arial, sans-serif;" /><span style="background-color: white;"><span face="arial, sans-serif" style="color: #202020;">1. Iran (Persia) needs to have nuclear capability to force teshuvah on Klal Yisrael. The nation of Haman must rise with deliverable nukes before Rosh HaShanah 5783 to force teshuvah by Yom Kippur. In the end, Edom and Persia will destroy each other, and nuclear weapons will not be detonated on the soil of Eretz Yisrael. Yet, the fear of that happening will force the recalcitrant nation of Israel to repent in a way that G-d sending 48 prophets and 7 prophetesses to the ancient kingdoms of Israel and Judea did not accomplish. Yes, this is frightening, and for good reason this is G-d's last resort to "encourage" repentance. </span></span><br style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: arial, sans-serif;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: arial, sans-serif;" /><span face="arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #202020;">2. The entire world will come to recognize Palestine, bringing that recognition to a new level. By doing so, they divide Yerushalayim (Zekharia 14) and the Land of Israel (Yoel 3 and 4). The Redemption from their arrogance will take place during Sukkot of the Motzei Shmittah year 5783. In the interim, this is their Crime of last Resort. (Perhaps when Joe Biden and his Leftist puppet-masters arrive just before the 17th of Tamuz, we will see this take shape.)</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: arial, sans-serif;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: arial, sans-serif;" /><span face="arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #202020;">3. The world's system of fiat currency will continue to undergo systemic collapse and hyper-inflation. By the very end of the Shmittah year, fiat currency might be close to worthless.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: arial, sans-serif;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: arial, sans-serif;" /><span face="arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #202020;">Focus on everything happening in the next 3 months to be part of the process of those 3 things occurring.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: arial, sans-serif;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: arial, sans-serif;" /><span face="arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #202020;"><b>4.

But until then, knowing that these 3 things need to occur b'itah, these three troubling things should occur to IMMEDIATELY precede the Ultimate Good in 5783. May G-d have Mercy on all of us so that these 3 or 4 things (including the coming of Eliyahu haNavi) happen now and not 7 years from now. 7 yrs from now when the Chinese surveillance state has been fully implemented worldwide.... what a horrible prospect.</p><p><br /><br /></p><p><br /><br /></p>Dov Bar-Leibhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15915682856620634130noreply@blogger.com656tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10578166.post-91334328821587801672022-02-25T04:24:00.005+02:002022-02-28T23:15:39.004+02:00The Shadow of the Dung of the Jackass<p> Many years ago in the early first year and a half of this blog, I wrote a post quoting the Gemorrah in Sanhedrin 98b in which I discussed <a href="http://yearsofawe.blogspot.com/2006/05/dung-of-jackass.html" target="_blank">The Dung of a Jackass</a> in the light of Rav Ezriel Tauber's sefer <b>Days Are Coming</b>. In that book Rav Tauber brought down that there will come a moment at the End of Days when the physical stuff of the Universe (<i>or at least our quadrant of the Universe where we were placed to refine</i>) could no longer be refined. I postulated in that post that one of the reasons for some of the Rabbis in our generation for making the error of joining in with Sharon for IS 290 million shekels was because we had already arrived at the point of peering through the dung of the Jackass, the Chomer (the physical stuff) of history after all the physicality of the world that could be refined has been refined for a G-dly purpose from the moment that Avraham stood in opposition to Nimrod and the 70 nations in the Year 2000 from Adam. Because it was the Shmittah cycle of Gog ben Gog Bush Jr., it seemed that we had arrived at the point where the physicality of the World that we were meant to perfect, like dung, could no longer be refined. In reality, we were almost at that point but not quite there. In the last two Shmittah cycles since the Financial Collapse of 2008, the end of the Gog ben Gog Shmittah cycle, apparently there were still a few drops of physicality to refine, for the simanim of reaching that point given over by the <span style="font-family: inherit;">Vilna </span>Gaon (to be discussed below) had not yet occurred. As has been discussed in recent posts on this blog, the Gog ben Gog Shmittah cycle ended on Hoshana Rabbah 5769 seven and a half years before two thirds of Mankind fell below the 49th level of impurity during the lead up to Shavuot of the potential Jubilee year 5776 where the following condition from Zekharia 13 for B'itah Redemption was reached:</p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span><b>וְהָיָה בְכָל-הָאָרֶץ, נְאֻם-יְהוָה, פִּי-שְׁנַיִם בָּהּ, יִכָּרְתוּ יִגְוָעוּ; וְהַשְּׁלִשִׁית, יִוָּתֶר בָּהּ.</b></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: small; white-space: pre;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif;">8 </span><b style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif;">And it shall come to pass, that in all the earth, saith the LORD, two parts (out of three) therein shall be cut off and die; but the (final) third shall be left therein. </b><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I would suggest rereading <a href="http://yearsofawe.blogspot.com/2021/06/crunch-time-last-trimester-of-final-9.html" target="_blank">the recent post</a> where this was discussed in detail especially concentrating on the 98 year (2 Jubilee cycle) Collapse into Reprobate oblivion for 2/3rds of Mankind at the end of which took place the mega-terrorist attack at the Pulse Night Club in <span style="font-family: inherit;">Orlando</span>, Florida when and where precisely 49 homosexuals were murdered by a Afghani Muslim terrorist who became the 50th dead body in the bar at Alot HaShachar on Shavuot morning 5776 when the SWAT team burst through the wall of the night club. It foretold that America had specifically fallen below 49 levels of impurity as a total society and would ultimately disintegrate at -50 being completely done in by its own war against Muslim extremism in Afghanistan.

B'itah: 7 years AFTER the fateful events in Orlando</p><p>This is based on a pasuk in the Torah in Shlach Lecha that during the Spying of the Land of Israel, the Meraglim arrived in Chevron where the text extraneously tells us that Chevron was built 7 years before Tzo'an was in Mitzraim from which we learn that the World cannot be out of spiritual balance between Good and Evil, Purity and Impurity, more than 7 years in either direction. Of course it would have been preferable that we would have reached "Shaar HaNun", the 50th Gate of Purity in 5769, 7 years before 5776, but in order for that to transpire, we would need to pass a "small test" of collective Jewish human decency in the 4th year of that Shmittah cycle 5765 because according to the Gemorrah in Sanhedrin, the Rabbanim of Israel would kick off the Geulah through a tremendous spiritual awakening in the 5th year of that cycle..... Well it was actually a Big Test, and frankly some of us failed very badly by joining Sharon's Govt for the price of a prostitute. <b> IMMEDIATELY, we seemed to have lost the Golden opportunity that was on our plate for the Gog ben Gog Shmittah cycle that Ben David would come in 5766 or 5769, and now we are left playing catch up in the 7th year AFTER 5775, the previous Shmittah year.</b> So right now, our backs are against a Wall. The World has been out of balance with more Evil and more impurity in the World than Goodness and Purity for almost 6 years now. (Here we are counting the years from that Shavuot night and early morning in 5776 with the terrorist attack in Orlando.) We have reached the point where righteousness and Goodness must come roaring back. If the world had to exist even one more year until Shavuot 5783 as it is now, G-d would need to destroy the world that He created because it cannot simply exist out of balance on the side of Reprobate impurity for a full 7 years since that Shavuot night in 5776. Through this review we have arrived at the question,<b> "What is the signifying feature that we have reached the End because our world cannot remain in the negative column of spirituality for a full seven years?" Apparently according to the Gemorrah and Rav Tauber, the signifying feature is that the the physical stuff making up our world can no longer be dedicated to a higher purpose. Whether it be through sanctification through Mitzvot or technological advance through human progress on a physical level, the matter that makes up Creation itself is now resisting being used to improve the lot of Mankind! It is as if the only goal of physical matter at this crucial time is the accumulation of more and more piles of physicality! This is what is meant when our Sages in the Talmud said that they would prefer to not live at this time because observing spiritual reality at the very End would be like peering through the Dung of a Jackass. Except that Rav Yosef makes the observation that it is at that precise moment, one year later in the Motzei Shmittah year, that ALL the physical stuff of the Universe (החומר) that was sanctified to G-d throughout all of human history would that following year become the Chamur (החמור), the donkey, on which Mashiach ben David will come riding into the Holy City. You see, during the fateful Shmittah year, the world would reach a point where rank physicality for its own sake would try to take over the world, but it too would be destroyed by the end of that year or more accurately by Hoshana Rabbah of the Motzei Shmittah year so that Mashiach ben David would come riding into Yerushalayim on the pefected Chomer (physicality) or Chamur (Donkey) once the physicality with no potential of being perfected, represented by Donkey Dung, was judged and destroyed. This is the essential characteristic of Redemption B'itah at the last possible moment with no possibility for being delayed. And this is why Rav Yosef unlike the other Rabbanim in this Gemorrah wanted to be alive at this time.</b> Now let us discuss the type of Malkhut that would exist at that time and will be on the verge of taking over the world. <b>Sadly I must report, for my name is Dov Bear, that the Malkhut of rank physicality for its own sake in Daniel chapter 7 is basically represented by a flesh devouring Bear!</b></p><p><b> Daniel 7 is a fascinating chapter of Tana"kh and is most susceptible for mis-interpretation and misuse by those who believe in Oto Ish as their god. </b> So I will just get to the points as quickly as possible. The first beast is a Lion with Eagle's wings. In ancient times it most represented Babylon. In the modern era Edom has the capacity to be all of the first three beasts, and the Lion with Eagle's wings has historically been represented by Great Britain and the United States. Its crowning characteristic seems to be that those who roar like lions can fly as high as eagles. It is those individuals who have that capacity who are the winners in such cultures. They tend to be very free societies at their root so that the most capable individuals roar like lions and fly like eagles through their own intrinsic talents and hard work. Those<b> rugged individualists</b> become the winners in such societies and achieve their goals the best through contributing greatly to the societies in which they live and usually accumulating large fortunes (the American Dream) as their earthly reward. Lest you think that is all negative, it is not. <b> Part of the proof that the physical stuff of Creation in such societies has been dedicated to a higher purpose is that two of the four faces of the Holy Chayot, the four faced Angels that serve in on the Divine Chariot are a Lion and an Eagle! Look it up in Yechezkel 1 yourself. </b></p><p>ה וּמִתּוֹכָהּ--דְּמוּת, אַרְבַּע חַיּוֹת; וְזֶה, מַרְאֵיהֶן--דְּמוּת אָדָם, לָהֵנָּה.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>5 And out of the midst thereof came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance: they had the likeness of a man.</p><p>ו וְאַרְבָּעָה פָנִים, לְאֶחָת; וְאַרְבַּע כְּנָפַיִם, לְאַחַת לָהֶם.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>6 And every one had four faces, and every one of them had four wings.</p><p>י וּדְמוּת פְּנֵיהֶם, פְּנֵי אָדָם, וּפְנֵי אַרְיֵה אֶל-הַיָּמִין לְאַרְבַּעְתָּם, וּפְנֵי-שׁוֹר מֵהַשְּׂמֹאול לְאַרְבַּעְתָּן; וּפְנֵי-נֶשֶׁר, לְאַרְבַּעְתָּן.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>10 As for the likeness of their faces, they had the face of a man (facing south); and they four had the face of a lion on the right side (facing east); and they four had the face of an ox on the left side (facing west); they four had also the face of an eagle (facing north.</p><p>Our Holy Sages have brought down that this is why the Camp of Yehudah east of the Mishkan is under the Face of a Lion and why the Camp of Yosef to the West is under the Face of an Ox or Bull. And throughout the Torah, Yehudah is compared to a lion while Yosef is compared to an Ox! Along with this, the Camp of Reuven to the South has the banner of the likeness of a Man. The Camp of Dan to the North seems to break the mold and seems to be represented by a Snake and not an eagle, but it is accepted that the Face of the Chayot over the Camp of Dan in the North was an Eagle. <b>From this we learn one salient fact. A Malkhut represented by lions and eagles has the ability to take Mankind to great heights, albeit for their own benefit in Olam HaZeh and often at the expense of foreign cultures.</b> <b>Still who can deny the advances brought to the benefit of Mankind by a Culture of rugged individualists has far outweighed their earthly deficits? So at the very end of history when rank physicality is taking over the world, the Culture of Rugged Individualists represented by a Lion with Eagle's wings will crumble in that fateful Shmittah year on the threshold of Mashiach's coming. Perhaps, their leader will in that fateful year be a Dementia ridden Reprobate incapable of leading his nation to the next plateau! But I jest, how could such a man ever be elected in the first place?</b></p><p>At this point we will skip the Bear who devours more and more physicality as he is described in Daniel 7, for we have already discussed him above. <b>We will simply point out that the ancient Bear of partying and feasting often for 180 days at a time was ancient Persia, and the modern Bear amongst Edom is obviously Russia. It is precisely this beast that has an advantage over the other beasts to go forth and conquer the World as the other beasts crumble and fail at the end of Olam HaZeh in this fateful Shmittah year.</b></p><p><b>The 3rd beast in Daniel chapter 7 wants to do more than conquer the world for its own appetites. It wants to rule the world with Reason and Logic and set up world Govt for the entire globe of the earth, or what used to be called, "the four corners of the earth". It is for this reason that this beast (a swift leopard) has four heads, for it wants to extend its rule over the entire planet bringing Mankind under one King...... who thinks he or she can rule the world by making up one's own reasonable laws without taking into account the infinite value of every human being. In such a world, morality is defined by what is best for the smooth running of World Govt, not the rules of human decency defined by an Infinite Creator. So such a world govt is bound to conflict with His Rules for the benefit of perpetuating World Govt.</b> Now one might think that such a world govt at war with G-d cannot elevate Man to higher levels, but the Torah begs to differ with you on this. When G-d was REALLY angry with Mankind during the Great Flood, the Torah persistently and consistently used the Divine Name Elokim as G-d meted out Justice against a recalcitrant Mankind. Only when it came to saving Noach and the world's animals on the Ark is the Name of HaShem used. As it says with regards to destroying the World:</p><p>יב וַיַּרְא אֱלֹהִים אֶת-הָאָרֶץ, וְהִנֵּה נִשְׁחָתָה: כִּי-הִשְׁחִית כָּל-בָּשָׂר אֶת-דַּרְכּוֹ, עַל-הָאָרֶץ. {ס}<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>12 And God saw the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted their way upon the earth. {S}</p><p>יג וַיֹּאמֶר אֱלֹהִים לְנֹחַ, קֵץ כָּל-בָּשָׂר בָּא לְפָנַי--כִּי-מָלְאָה הָאָרֶץ חָמָס, מִפְּנֵיהֶם; וְהִנְנִי מַשְׁחִיתָם, אֶת-הָאָרֶץ.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>13 And God said unto Noah: 'The end of all flesh is come before Me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.</p><p>Notice the Name Elokim is regularly used when discussing Judgement upon Mankind in the year 1656 AM. Yet, a few chapters later or about 340 years later in the year 1996 AM, Nimrod wants to build a Tower to Heaven to war with G-d. One might think that G-d would be equally angry and upset. But lo and behold what do we see? </p><p> וַיֹּאמְרוּ הָבָה נִבְנֶה-לָּנוּ עִיר, וּמִגְדָּל וְרֹאשׁוֹ בַשָּׁמַיִם, וְנַעֲשֶׂה-לָּנוּ, שֵׁם: פֶּן-נָפוּץ, עַל-פְּנֵי כָל-הָאָרֶץ.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>4 And they said: 'Come, let us build us a city, and a tower, with its top in heaven, and let us make us a name; lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.'</p><p>ה וַיֵּרֶד <b>יְהוָה</b>, לִרְאֹת אֶת-הָעִיר וְאֶת-הַמִּגְדָּל, אֲשֶׁר בָּנוּ, בְּנֵי הָאָדָם.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>5 And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.</p><p>ו וַיֹּאמֶר <b>יְהוָה</b>, הֵן עַם אֶחָד וְשָׂפָה אַחַת לְכֻלָּם, וְזֶה, הַחִלָּם לַעֲשׂוֹת; וְעַתָּה לֹא-יִבָּצֵר מֵהֶם, כֹּל אֲשֶׁר יָזְמוּ לַעֲשׂוֹת.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>6 And the LORD said: 'Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language; and this is what they begin to do; and now nothing will be withholden from them, which they purpose to do.</p><p>ז הָבָה, נֵרְדָה, וְנָבְלָה שָׁם, שְׂפָתָם--אֲשֶׁר לֹא יִשְׁמְעוּ, אִישׁ שְׂפַת רֵעֵהוּ.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>7 Come, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.'</p><p>ח וַיָּפֶץ <b>יְהוָה</b> אֹתָם מִשָּׁם, עַל-פְּנֵי כָל-הָאָרֶץ; וַיַּחְדְּלוּ, לִבְנֹת הָעִיר.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>8 So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth; and they left off to build the city.</p><p>ט עַל-כֵּן קָרָא שְׁמָהּ, בָּבֶל, כִּי-שָׁם בָּלַל <b>יְהוָה</b>, שְׂפַת כָּל-הָאָרֶץ; וּמִשָּׁם הֱפִיצָם <b>יְהוָה</b>, עַל-פְּנֵי כָּל-הָאָרֶץ. {פ}<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>9 Therefore was the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth; and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth. {P}</p><p>Above is the entire story of the building of the Tower of Bavel and HaShem's response. <b>Five times, the Name HaShem is mentioned in this affair, and not even once is the Name Elokim mentioned in judging Nimrod's act of building world govt and going to war against G-d. One might think that HaShem would be almost equally upset as He was 340 years earlier when He brought the Flood, but that is simply not the case! </b>So our first question should be Why? The answer seems to be that before the Flood it was every Man and Woman for themselves. Lawlessness filled the earth. With world Govt there was at least the attempt to bring unity and brotherhood to Mankind, albeit with rules that benefited the Govt and not with G-d's Universal moral code which elevated the sanctity of every human being. Still it was an attempt in a better direction of Unity and lack of selfishness. <b>In that way, even world govt in rebellion against G-d is leaps and bounds better than the Law of the Jungle. So HaShem rather than responding with Divine Wrath against the attempt of the Generation of Nimrod to unify Mankind, He lovingly came down and said No, you can't do that! So once again, we have the dichotomy. In ancient times, the Four Headed leopard was the Malkhut of Alexander the Great who upon his death had his Empire divided amongst his four generals. In the modern era, the equivalent kingdom is the first attempt at a modern world govt through a united Europe, the EU, whose parliament building in Strasbourg is modeled after a Renaissance painting of the Unfinished Tower of Bavel! And once again, in this Shmittah year, HaShem has descended from Heaven to politely tell them NO!</b></p><p>So in this pre-Messianic Shmittah year as both the United States/ Great Britain and the EU both wither and die, who is it that smells an opportunity to fill a huge vacuum? <b> 'Tis the Bear who arises to absorb and devour more and more unsatisfying physicality. It is Dubiel or Bear Power (Russia and Persia) who goes forth on World Conquest.</b> At this stage, I am going to post my most recent Comments on my previous post. They are in shorthand form, but they fully explain the entire thesis of the Vilna Gaon, as I have come to understand it, on this fateful B'itah year. </p><p> <span style="background-color: white; color: #202020;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The Oral Tradition of the Vilna Gaon for 100% b'itah redemption, was for the most part given over to his closest students in the last decade of his life from about 1790 to 1797 before he passed away 225 yrs ago. His insights of course are based on the entire breadth of all of Tana"kh, but from what I was able to piece together from Rav Moshe Sternbuch of the Eidah Chareidit when he gave over some salient information in 2014 after Putin wrested the Crimea from the Ukraine, the Gaon seemed to stress 3 or 4 specific portions of the Tana"kh in his overview of the matter of the keitz, the final impermeable end of Olam HaZeh from which the proverbial can can no longer be kicked down the road to a later date.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br style="background-color: white; color: #202020;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #202020;"><b>1. Daniel 2: specifically the part about the statue in Nebuchadnezzar's dream where the 2 legs of iron mired with clay stand in the 2 ancient capitals of the of the Roman Empire, Rome and Constantinople.</b> The iron is Edom, Rome, and Xtianity while the clay is Yishmael, his son Nebaiyot the founder of the Nabatean nation, Muhammad who was a Nabatean, and all of Islam. Since Yishmael was Pere Adam or wild jackass of a man, think Pere Adamah (a wild thing of earthenware or clay). So the clay in the vision of Nebuchadnezzar is Yishmael or Islam. In the "eastern" Rome, when the Muslim Turks conquered Constantinople, they changed the name to Istanbul. So the Roman capital where the iron is mired with clay is right there in Istanbul/Constantinople. At this point Sefer Daniel 2 and Yechezkel 38 and 39 point to a meteorite of unhewn Even Elgavish (stone crystallized on high) will destroy something about that city which will cause all of Olam HaZeh to turn to dust. But this would only happen when another Orthodox Xtian leader from Edom would conquer the city. Since the Greek Orthodox Patriarch of the Byzantine Empire is already in the city when it split from the Roman Catholic Church in the 11th Century, the only other Orthodox Church which considered itself based in the "3rd Rome" was the Russian Orthodox Church headquartered in Moscow.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #202020;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #202020;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #202020;"><b>2. The next part of the mix was Daniel 7 where of the 4 beasts discussed there, only one of those beasts survives to the very end, The Bear. The Vilna Gaon called this beast Dubiel.

It reaches a point where the Chomer of Creation becomes like the dung of a jackass that can no longer be elevated to a higher purpose.</b> The Rugged individualists like Trump and Boris Johnson become powerless as the Lion with Eagle's wings fades into the background. Same with the NWO folks in the EU (the flying four headed leopard) as the drive for world govt simply runs out of steam. The 11th horn on the 4th beast (Barack Obama) is out of office. <b>So at the very end it is Dubiel, the ancient and modern Bear (Persia and Russia) in an alliance with each other to fill in the vacuum created by the other 3 beasts fading into the background because Dubiel, rank physicality, is all that there is left.</b></span><br style="background-color: white; color: #202020;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #202020;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #202020;">3.

So we left off with a discussion about Sefirat HaOmer, the Counting of 49 days between the first night of Pesach and the Eve of Shavuot, the Feast of Weeks often called Pentecost from the Greek translation of the text of the Torah (Pentecost meaning the 50th day). So every year we Jews repeat this count, hoping not to forget even one night so that we can complete the Mitzvah which requires us not to forget counting even one night. If one counts in the day, one does so without a brakhah, but the continuity of the Counting is not interrupted, and one can resume the Count with a Brakhah that evening. This is how we work on ourselves to prepare for Sinai. On Pesach we get rid of all the puffed up part of ourselves when we rid ourselves of Chametz, the puffed up part of ourselves being the aspects of our Yetzer HaRa that in particular come from Arrogance and Pride (Gayvah: Pride or Arrogance). But we are really working on the interface between our Divine soul and our Animal soul, specifically the 7 lower aspects of our Divine soul (the seat of Gayvah) and how they interface with those same seven aspects of our Animal Soul (the seat of Tayvah: lust and desire). From this point forward we will call the 7 lower aspects of our Divine soul the Nefesh Elyon, and we will call the 7 dimensions of our animal soul the Nefesh Behamit. Over the course of each week we purify all seven aspects of our animal soul vis a vis one dimension of our Divine nefesh (Nefesh Elyon) in each particular week. During the week of Pesach and Isru Chag (7 days including Isru Chag but not including Seder night), we work on the the seven aspects of our animal soul (Nefesh Behamit) and how it intersects with the attribute of Chessed (or Gedulah) in our Nefesh Elyon. Since there is no Gayvah per se in Chessed, we do not become "puffed up" while counting Sefirat HaOmer during Pesach. Only the next week after Isru Chag, do we begin to work on the next level of our Nefesh Elyon. In both ways, physically and spiritually we begin to introduce Chametz back into our lives, something that we did not have during the 7 days of Chessed in our Nefesh Elyon. Think of purifying each day as a 7 by 7 matrix. The horizontal spaces of the matrix fill out all the qualities of our animal soul while representing one aspect of our Nefesh Elyon while the vertical rows of the matrix represent the filling of the 7 qualities of the Nefesh Elyon for each quality of our Nefesh Behamit. The best way to show this matrix is to see the 7 by 7 chart. One note, the Nefesh Behamit has ONLY 7 dimensions since it is part of the physical world of N, S, E, W, Up, Down and Time (notice 7 dimensions). And there are 7 such dimensions because in space one can go in two opposite directions in each spatial dimension often called positive and negative, but Time ONLY goes forward. For us in the created realm, time can never move backwards. Since animals ONLY have this one soul called a Nefesh Behamit, they can be awake and At Rest on all four legs since a 7 dimensional soul is at rest in the physical world. The Divine soul in total is called a Neshamah and has 10 Sefirot. Since it has three extra Sefirot, the totality of this soul wants to escape from the physical universe by constantly pushing upward. So the only animal that stands on two legs while it is "standing still" is Man. <i> I know someone will mention a kangaroo as an exception to this rule, but can we talk about kangaroos another time?</i> With man the three upper Sefirot are noded to the brain while the 7 lower Sefirot of the Nefesh Elyon are noded to the heart. The Animal soul which is content and at rest within the body is only noded to the heart. Below is the Chart of the 7 by 7 matrix of Sefirat HaOmer. For these things one needs a visual aid.</div><p><br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-0x03Qyglhls/YXmnMgzhwKI/AAAAAAAACk0/OWCeCDPKOEkG7Gx2RvoyjWktv0i1868YgCNcBGAsYHQ/image.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="362" data-original-width="512" height="252" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-0x03Qyglhls/YXmnMgzhwKI/AAAAAAAACk0/OWCeCDPKOEkG7Gx2RvoyjWktv0i1868YgCNcBGAsYHQ/w320-h252/image.png" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">So we see for the first day of the Sefirat HaOmer, we count Chessed (of the Nefesh Behamit) that is in Chessed (of the Nefesh Elyon). The Second day is Gevurah (of the Nefesh Behamit) that is in Chessed of the Nefesh Elyon. The third day is Tiferreth (which is best translated as Charisma) of the Nefesh Behamit that is in Chessed of the Nefesh Elyon. The fourth day is Netzach (or Eternity) of the Nefesh Behamit that is in Chessed of the Nefesh Elyon. The fifth day (or the 6th day of Pesach) is Hod (Glory) of the Nefesh Behamit that is in Chessed of the Nefesh Elyon. The 6th day (or the 7th day of Pesach) is Yesod (Foundation) of the Nefesh Behamit that is in Chessed of the Nefesh Elyon. And the 7th day (Isru Chag or 8th day of Pesach outside of Israel) is Malkhut (Kingship) of the Nefesh Behamit that is in Chessed of the Nefesh Elyon. Notice during that entire week, we are working as individuals on our lowest level of the Nefesh Elyon (Chessed) preventing ourselves from inflating our Gayvah, and that entire week at least somewhere on earth we only eat Matzah. I am including the 8th day in this even though that day is D'Rabbanan because of Sefaika D'Yoma. It obviously has an important quality since for the last 1900 years most Jews in the world have observed 8 days of Pesach. The following week we repeat all the "Qualities" or Sefirot of the Nefesh Behamit, but in that 2nd week we work on the Quality or Midah of Gevurah or Din in the Nefesh Elyon, reintroducing Chametz back into our spiritual lives, but hopefully in its pure form devoid of tumah. In the third week we repeat the same exercise for the Midah of Tiferreth in the Nefesh Elyon. In the fourth week we repeat the same exercise for the Midah of Netzach in the Nefesh Elyon. In the fifth week, we repeat the same exercise for the Midah of Hod in the Nefesh Elyon. In the sixth week, we repeat the same exercise for the Midah of Yesod in the Nefesh Elyon. And in the seventh week, we repeat the same exercise for the Midah of Malkhut in the Nefesh Elyon, ending on the 49th day at Malkhut that is in Malkhut. At this point we should take note of the Diagonal of the Matrix where the same Midah in the Nefesh Behamit intersects with the same Midah in the Nefesh Elyon. Way back in Quantum Mechanics at University, we would call the values on this diagonal Eigen Values as long as the other values not on the diagonal were Zeroed out. <b>What is important here is that as we will see, these diagonal values are indicative of all five exiles.</b> Chessed that is in Chessed on Day 1 is a value indicative of the Egyptian Exile. Gevurah that is in Gevurah on the 9th day is indicative of something crucial in the Babylonian Exile. Tifereth that is in Tifereth on the 17th Day is indicative of something crucial in the Persian Exile with Amaleq threatening our very lives. <b> Netzach that is in Netzach on the 25th day is indicative of something crucial in the Greek Exile. (Can you guess what it is?) And finally, Hod that is in Hod on the 33rd day of Sefirat HaOmer as discussed fully in the previous post is indicative of something crucial in the Roman or Edomite Exile. </b>For all those first five Sefirot we the Jewish people have five mighty spiritual shepherds, who are not called Melekh because sadly because of our sins, after Shlomo, we lost our hold on Malkhut for the entire world during those first five Sefirot. Malkhut in those first five Sefirot as we shall see was handed to the nations of the world, and Malkhut over Eretz Yisrael was specifically handed to the five nations listed above. The first five shepherds are Avraham Avinu for Chessed, Yitzchak Avinu for Gevurah, Ya'akov Avinu for Tiferreth, Moshe Rabbeinu for Netzach, and Aharon HaKohen for Hod. What is worth noting is that ABOVE the 33rd level of Purity, the nations of the world have no Malkhut! So the final two Shepherds associated with those Sefirot Yesod and Malkhut can be called Melekh or Melekh HaMashiach (Yosef and David) because in the rarefied air above the 33rd level of purity only Israel can have worldwide Malkhut.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Now let's discuss something important from Chaza"l. When Daniel was told about the 70 sevens in Sefer Daniel chapter 9, something became painfully obvious. Because of our sins, the first Temple could not stand forever. Since it was destroyed, two additional Temples were revealed so that over the course of history, there would be Three Temples, not just Two Temples. Now why is this? Because retro-actively the First Temple only corresponded to the Festival of Pesach, The Second Temple would correspond in a limited way to the Festival of Shavuot or at least to the build up from Pesach to Shavuot as we will soon see, and the Final or Third Temple would correspond to Sukkot, an eternal Temple for all Mankind in the same way that Sukkot is a festival for all Mankind. This is the B'dieved plan for the world because Klal Yisrael through our sins "chose" the path of of Rebuke in Leviticus and Deuteronomy as opposed to the path of Blessing, a path which would not have required the destruction of the First Temple at all. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Now, all that is described above with regards to Sefirat HaOmer is what we do as INDIVIDUALS as we prepare for Shavuot after the first night of Pesach, often called Seder night. Outside of Israel, the second Seder is the first night of Sefirat HaOmer (something that for the author of this blog is a distant memory from 18 years ago.) In Eretz Yisrael, the first night of Sefirat HaOmer is the first day of Chol HaMoed, something that we soon hope that every Jew or Israelite in the world will soon experience. What is important to ask, since Jews are still scattered all over the world since the destruction of the First Temple, is<b> if we work on ourselves every year during Sefirat HaOmer turning every intersection between our Animal Nefesh and our Divine Nefesh from tamei to tahor from impure to pure, one day for each of these 49 intersections, how long would it take for the entire nation of Israel to do the same scattered all over the world in all 24 time zones?</b> Well it is true, during the Second Temple period, most of the world's Jews from the Southern Kingdom were in Babylon, not even in Eretz Yisrael with pockets of Jewish exiles in Yemen, in Greek controlled Egypt, and in parts of Germany? Northern Kingdom Israelites were in Ethiopia and in cities mentioned in Tanakh that were in the Northeastern corners of the Assyrian Empire. From there according to some, many of the Assyrian exiles were absorbed by Turkic tribes that migrated into Afghanistan and into the Land between the Black and Caspian Seas and became part of Khazaria. The point being, during the Second Temple Period the bulk of the Judean Exiles including most of Binyamin, Shimon, and Levi in large numbers were either in what is modern day Iraq or in Iran. Some of course did return to Eretz Yisrael with Zerubavel and after the 2nd Temple was built, but the Majority stayed behind in Bavel and Persia and in Yemen. But during the Three Pilgrimage Festivals, they would even come from Babylon and Egypt as is required if you are within reasonable "walking" distance. To be honest, It seems to make sense that they would have made the two week trek for Pesach and Sukkot, but to get home two weeks after Pesach and just a couple of weeks later to come for Shavuot? I am not sure how they came from Babylon for Pesach and Shavuot in such a short span of time every year. <b>What is important to recognize is why did the Second Temple, according to Seder HaOlam, stand for 420 years?</b> (<i>We are obviously excluding the 165 year discrepancy between Seder Olam dating and secular dating discussed by Rav Shimon Schwab zt"l during his lifetime because as he discussed, the Second Temple for those 165 years was a Shack in comparison to the First Temple, and G-d asked Daniel that the history of those 165 years be hidden from the historical record (Daniel 12:4). As a matter of fact, the Gematriah of Sod Daniel סוד דניאל is 165! So the deeper reason why these years were hidden is that our overarching mandate in history is to Repair the World. Yet, during the period where the Second Temple stood but was just a shack, the World was not perfected by performing the Avodah in that Temple! So G-d through his angel Gavriel, the Man in linen, asked Daniel to strike those years from the public record! This is according to Rav Shimon Schwab zt"l when I read a couple of his essays on this matter in the 1980s.</i>) The primary thing that we learn from the years of the Second Temple that remain is that during those 420 years, we were perfecting the world through the Avodah done in that Second Temple. But first and foremost, as we shall see now, we were perfecting ourselves.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">In one of the earlier post on this blog, <a href="http://yearsofawe.blogspot.com/2005/04/everyone-hold-on-to-your-seat.html" target="_blank">Hold on To Your Seat</a>, before it was realized what the evacuation of Gush Qatif had wrought in terms of delaying the Geulah, I wrote: <span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: small;"><i>All of world history is a cosmic travel from Pesach to Sukkot (Booths). The first Temple corresponded with Pesach. The Second Temple corresponded with Shavuot (The Feast of Weeks). The final Temple will correspond with Sukkot (Tabernacles). Because of our sin of internecine causeless hatred, the divine presence could not come down into the Second Temple. The 420 years that it stood plus the 70 years that Yerushalayim was barren between the Temples add up to 490 years. There are 49 days between Pesach and Shavuot. Each decade of the Second Temple period corresponded with one level of purity that we purify ourselves during the 49 day period between Pesach and Shavuot. Because of our disunity, the Divine Presence could not descend into the Holy of Holies and reside at the end of 490 years.</i> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">So while we work on ourselves as individuals we rise during the 49 levels from Pesach until Shavuot, but the First Temple which corresponded with Pesach stood for 410 years and was destroyed. It then stood fallow for 70 years before the Second Temple "officially" stood for 420 years. And during that entire period of the second Temple while we were perfecting the world, we were actually perfecting ourselves as a nation. Now why is that? When it was decided that the First Temple would be destroyed, it was at the end of 890 years after Matan Torah (40 years in the desert, 440 years covering Yehoshua's Conquest, the Judges, and the rules of King Shaul and David, and 410 years for the 1st Temple). With its destruction, it was decided that the entire First Temple Period corresponded to Pesach. <b>Then we see that the period between the destruction of that Temple and the destruction of the Second Temple is 490 years, ten years for each level of purity between Seder night and Shavuot! Since the first seven levels of purity are DURING the 7 days of Pesach and Isru Chag, there was no Temple for 70 years or 7 x 10 years for the last 7 days of Pesach. But for each level of the next 42 levels after Pesach, we perfected ourselves through the Avodah in the 2nd Temple and all other Mitzvot, one level every ten years that is 42 levels x 10 years per level for 420 years.</b> <b>Since there was no Unity in Klal Yisrael at the end of those 490 years, the Shekhinah could not come down into that Temple, and that Temple was destroyed.</b> So in reality, the Second Temple </span>corresponded<span style="font-family: inherit;"> with the days leading up to Shavuot that are not part of Pesach, that is the days of Sefirat HaOmer AFTER Pesach is completed. Since there are 42 such days and since it took one decade to perfect ourselves at each level, it took 42 levels x 10 years for each level of purity which is equal to 420 years to perfect ourselves as a nation between the 8th and the 49th levels of purity, levels of purity reached after Pesach is completed. Yet, since there was tremendous internecine hatred, there was no Shekhinah at the 50th level of purity waiting for us, and the Temple was destroyed. <b>So there we have an answer, while perfecting just ourselves as a nation, we perfected ourselves one level every decade during the Second Temple Period from perfecting level 8, the first level after Pesach until level 49! Since 49 - 7 is 42, it took 420 years. </b></span></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><br /></b></span></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">So now we await the instruction to build the 3rd Temple, the Temple that corresponds to Sukkot which is the Festival for All the nations of the World (except for Amaleq), that can only be built when the time of Malkhut Edom can no longer rule above the 33rd level of purity. The Billion Shekel question is, how many years does it take to reach that point? For that answer we consult another pasuk, this time in Zekharia HaNavi 8:23 </span></span>כג כֹּה-אָמַר, יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת, בַּיָּמִים הָהֵמָּה, אֲשֶׁר יַחֲזִיקוּ עֲשָׂרָה אֲנָשִׁים מִכֹּל לְשֹׁנוֹת הַגּוֹיִם; וְהֶחֱזִיקוּ בִּכְנַף אִישׁ יְהוּדִי לֵאמֹר, נֵלְכָה עִמָּכֶם--כִּי שָׁמַעְנוּ, אֱלֹהִים עִמָּכֶם. {ס}<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>23 Thus saith the LORD of hosts: In those days (the End of Days) it shall come to pass,<b> that ten men shall take hold, out of all the languages of the nations, shall even take hold of the garment corner of him that is a Jew, saying: We will go with you, for we have heard that God is with you.' </b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #333333;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #333333;"><b>Ahah! So the perfection of the World that takes place is ten fold, the perfection of Klal Yisrael on itself! So if it takes ten years to perfect a particular intersection of attributes between the Nefesh Elyon and the Nefesh Behamit in all of Klal Yisrael, it takes 100 years to perfect that attribute in all of Mankind! And from when do we start that counting of years? From the day that we stood at Sinai, or from the Rosh HaShanah that came after we stood at Sinai? And since Edom builds a roof with no holes in it (a Gag or a Gog) over his head or a New World Order when the world reaches the 33rd level of purity so that he can rule the world after the 33rd level without Divine Providence, he is permitted to engage in this folly .</b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #333333;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #333333;">So number one, why should we see this perfection of the entire world one level every 100 years begin the Rosh HaShanah AFTER Matan Torah? The answer is quite basic and simple. Both the First Day of Pesach and the 50th day of the Omer ARE NOT COUNTED! They were free miraculous gifts from G-d, one day at the beginning of our 49 day climb out of the muckity muck of Tumah and one day, Shavuot itself, at the end of the 50 day count. So the First day of the count is the night/day AFTER Seder night and does not include Seder night itself. Yes, Seder night is a miraculous event whose merit is only the fulfillment of a promise made to Avraham at the Covenant Between the Parts that after 400 years of "wandering" even in our own land, eventual slavery, and intense affliction, we would be brought out of this horrible iron furnace with miracles and great wealth. So Seder night or the Slaying of the First Born, the tenth plagues is not from our merit. And yes it required a Statement of Faith offering that we could slay an Egyptian god at the full moon of the month when this sheep god is most "powerful" in Nissan (The sheep or Ram is the mazal for Nissan), we could slay it in broad daylight, roast it on a spit, and splatter the blood over the entrances to our homes, and the Egyptians would be powerless to stop us because it would become throughout history the Day of Deliverance from Egyptian Bondage. But after the first nine plagues, we had ample evidence that we would not die as a consequence of our slaying this Egyptian god of the month. So G-d's salvation at Midnight that very night was a wonderous supernatural gift to be commemorated throughout history. Yet, the real work began the next day when we left Egypt and simply followed after the pillars of Cloud and of Fire to the shore of a Sea over which it seemed that we had no chance of crossing derekh hateva to the other side. Then after crossing this Sea on the 7th day of Pesach or the 6th day of the Omer, we had instant thirst within 3 days and eventual intense hunger along the way. So waters were sweetened to quench our thirst, and Bread eventually came down with the dew, but then we became thirsty once more, and Moshe brought water striking a rock which provided a manmade lake of water so that all Yisrael and its flocks and cattle could drink. And then immediately after that we battled Amaleq, a nation that wanted to destroy us like no other. Only upon reaching Mt. Sinai on Rosh Chodesh Siwan was the end of this constant struggle in sight. Apparently after Moshe had hit the rock at Rephidim, before he war with Amaleq, that "split rock" followed Klal Yisrael for the next forty years of our wandering in the merit of Miriam standing by the Nile to make sure that Moshe's birth basket ended up in safe hands. So the real struggles in the Midbar from the day we left Egypt were daily opportunities in personal growth for which we count the Omer. But the first day itself, the 15th of Nissan, was a free gift, and the 50th day when we rose to the level to receive the Torah was also a free supernatural gift. As human beings of flesh and blood with a Nefesh behamit and and a Nefesh elyon, we only were given tools to work on that 7 by 7 matrix to the 49th level of Taharah. The 50th transcendent level could only be received as a Divine Gift. So on that day we ALSO do NOT count. So in that first year when we left Egypt, we do NOT begin to count the Centuries of "preparing the world" for the 3rd and Final Temple until Rosh HaShanah/ Sukkot of the following year. Since it is the Mitzvot of Klal Yisrael that purifies and Repairs the world over the Centuries one level at a time per century, we count from Rosh HaShanah 2449 after having received the Torah during Shavuot, 6th or 7th of Siwan 2448. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #333333;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #333333;">So let us see if World History has in any way unfolded to reflect these realities. Has the world been purified and refined for all Mankind one level every Century? So first let us skip forward exactly 3300 years to see if Esav at that moment in time tried to build that proverbial roof with no holes in it (a Gag built by Gog) because of his desire to no longer serve G-d above the 33rd level of purity! Did this leader try to build a World Order which prided itself on how well Mankind could govern the affairs of Men without relying on the assistance of a Divine Being? So let us skip from the year 2449 to exactly 3300 years into the future, and we reach the year 5749 or the Fall of 1988 according to the Gregorian calendar. Lo and behold, Ronald Reagan is leaving the office of the US Presidency after two full terms. At this time in Israel, the First Intifada had been taking place for a year already, and since Reagan was beginning to lose his mental faculties in the very last year of his 8 year Presidency, a new more oppressive foreign policy on Klal Yisrael was beginning to emerge from the more benign years of Sec of State George Shultz and UN Ambassador Jeanne Kirkpatrick. <b>That new foreign policy was coming from the V.P. heir apparent and eventually elected Gog Herbert Walker Bush Sr. And PRECISELY, on schedule, the man who would declare a Masonic Novus Ordo Seclorum (a New World Order) before the UN in 1990 on the eve of the First Persian Gulf War against Saddam Hussein, was elected President of the United Srates on the 8th of November 1988 (29th of Cheshvan 5749) exactly 3300 years after 2449! Given that Saddam Hussein was assuredly the Gilgul of Nebuchadnezzar who destroyed the first Temple, a long war would ensue between Gog Bush Sr. (#41) and his son Gog W. ben Gog Jr. (#43) lasting 17 years with a break in between for the Clinton Presidency before Saddam was eventually executed on the 9th of Tevet 5767 by a tribunal run by Iraq's interim Govt with the full support of President Gog son of Gog Bush Jr. to fulfill the pasuk from Dror Yikrah's third verse that we sing every Shabbat. "<i>Tread the winepress in the City of Basra and also in Babylon which arose to be strong.</i>" </b> Now I am fully aware that Esav's angel as represented by the Tony Blair's British Army contingent was not executed in Basra by the Persian supporting Shiites at the end of that Shmittah cycle,<b> but that was because of our OWN sins of evacuating Jewish Gaza in the middle of that Cycle in 5765 in a horrible thoughtless Churban which delayed the Geulah from that seven year Shmittah cycle.</b> But the two Gogs had at least partially fulfilled their purpose in the history of Mankind, representing the post G-d fearing leadership of Edom when he thinks he has a Divine right to rule and reshape the world without the constant Providence of G-d Himself. What is key and seminal to know is that the New World Order that they tried and are still trying to propagate on Mankind is an affront to G-d in Heaven, an attempt at World Government without G-d as the Supreme Authority to run the world under His rules and not under the rules of Gog or any of his Lieutenants in Bankster positions that control the rigged asset markets (rigged since 2008) or in positions relating to World Government. <b>And like clockwork, he had appeared precisely right on schedule 3300 years or 33 Centuries starting after the Rosh HaShanah 2449 immediately after Matan Torah. 33 Centuries after 2449 was the Fall of 1988 when Gog Bush Sr. was elected President of the United States.</b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #333333;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #333333;"><b>Other Landmarks along the Way: </b>But to be honest we should see other pieces of evidence that this is the pattern that history has followed, other proofs that as we reached certain Century markers. So in the same way that the end of 33 Centuries marks the end of the matrix diagonal eigen value of Hod that is in Hod, let us start at the very beginning. <b> 1.</b> <b>The Exodus from Egypt marked the "jumping off point" from the first level of purity in that if we had fallen below that level we would have been irredeemable!</b> The first level of purity at Chessed that is in Chessed is often called the bottom basement point or the 49th level of impurity (Mem Tet Shaarei Tumah). That is, the imminent crash below Chessed that is in Chessed is the one and the same Mem Tet Shaarei Tumah. So even at the very beginning of this process of Redeeming the World we start at the point of Klal Yisrael's potential extinction in Mitzraim, for if we had descended below that level, there would have been no Klal Yisrael to even receive the Torah! <b> So if We and Mankind started at this level in 2448, the Centuries of progress to rise above this level began in 2449, ESPECIALLY since AFTER Matan Torah, we wasted most of the rest of that year with the Sin of the Golden Calf (40 days later) and the loss of G-d's Benevolence and Guiding Mercy (for and additional 40 days) until Rosh Chodesh Elul 2448. </b>The beginning of Elul was the beginning of acceptance of our repentance which is now the case every year. But it is really the beginning of the 30 day Court case in Heaven whose verdict is decreed on the 1st of Tishrei as it is for all Mankind. Most of the teshuvah during that 30 day period is Teshuvah b'Yirah (Repentance out of Reverence). At least the stress on teshuvah for those 30 days is Teshuvah b'Yirah. Starting with Rosh HaShanah all the way to Yom Kippur with Avinu Malkeinu, Teshuvah b'Yirah is eclipsed by Teshuvah b'Ahavah (Repentace out of Love) through Yom Kippur. <b>Keep this concept in mind for later. </b> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #333333;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>2. So if the first intersection of both Animal and Divine soul is at Chessed that is in Chessed, the 2nd intersection is at the 9th level purity at Gevurah that is in Gevurah or (Din that is in Din). The hallmark of strict Justice is the hallmark of Yitzchak Avinu where Good and Evil are choices between black and white, not moral shades of gray. Remember after the Akeidah, all of Yitzchak's choices were black vs white. Avoid the black, and do what is white. In such a world, such choices ONLY exist for three mitzvot for which there never any extenuating circumstances. These are Cardinal negative commandments where there never is a "heter" to commit them at least in the context of how they are defined as sins. Those sins for which there never is a heter to commit them are: Murder, Idolatry, and Sexual Immorality whose four categories are (Incest, Homosexuality, Bestiality, and Adultery). </b>Now of course, in the definition of Murder, self -defense is NOT Murder. Execution of murderers is also NOT Murder. But the intentional (or even careless) taking of a innocent life IS Murder. If innocent lives are taken in War while attacking military targets that are being used aggressively against you, it is also NOT murder as long as the targets themselves are military in nature.<b> </b>Innocent people sadly die as collateral damage and casualties, but their deaths are NOT as murdered victims. If such people are targeted in War, then Yes, killing them is Murder. But within the context of this definition, MURDER, SEXUAL IMMORALITY and DEVIENCY, and IDOLATRY exist as Sins for which there NEVER is an extenuating circumstance which would force you to commit them. If someone had a gun at your head, you would need to accept the bullet rather than commit them. Into this milieu came the Babylonians when it was the decreed time to destroy the First Temple for Klal Yisrael's disregard SPECIFICALLY for these Cardinal sins (<b>The Sexual Immorality and Idolatry of Ba'al Pe'or, the Child Sacrifice of children to Molech in the Qidron and Hinnom Valleys): These things were just the tips of a rather sordid iceberg which lead to the destruction of the 1st Temple in the year 3338. Notice that the year 3338 is precisely 890 years after the Exodus from Egypt and Matan Torah, right smack at the end of the 9th Century after Matan Torah. (<i>I agree that according to our clock, it would seem that the destruction of the 1st Temple should have occurred ten or eleven years later so that the math would be exactly 9 Centuries later, but here we must understand a new concept.</i>) The actual level that was being purified DURING the 9th Century after Matan Torah was the level of Gevurah that is in Gevurah (Din that is in Din). So throughout that final century, HaShem gave us plenty of opportunities to repent. For Instance, the Great Teshuvah Melekh Yoshiyahu through his righteousness helped to delay the inevitable destruction that was decreed on the First Temple. Only after his untimely death at Megiddo that was actually brought about by extant Avodah Zarah that had not been completely wiped out in Judea was the destruction of the Temple a fait accompli. Even then his son Yehoiyakim was king for 11 or 12 years before his son Yehoiyachin was carted off to Babylon when he had only been king for 3 months. Then Tzidkiyahu (another son of Yoshiyahu) was king for an additional 11 years before the Temple was finally destroyed. In short, HaShem waited until the very end of that 9th Century after Matan Torah to destroy the Temple whose reason for destruction was those 3 Cardinal sins, sins which are punished at the level of Gevurah that is in Gevurah an intersection of STRICT JUSTICE on our matrix. </b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b><br /></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">For a short time we are skipping the 17th level of purity, Tiffereth that is in Tiffereth, the 17th level of purity on our matrix and its association with the Persian Exile. We will come back to this at the very end. For definitional purposes we will be defining Tiffereth as the Beauty that is a result of Charisma or Charisma for short. Charisma can be a tremendous tool for the very righteous and the very wicked. Esav's Charisma with his mouth was in general used for wickedness and lies while Ya'akov's charisma was used for righteousness and Truth. The same was the case in Persia at the time of Mordechai who also had this charisma that Ya'akov had for righteousness and Truth while our arch enemy Haman had this charisma for wickedness and Lies. But we will get back to this later when talking about why the final war in which Olam HaZeh is destroyed is between Rome (at the 33rd level) and Persia (at the 17th level of impurity). Hint. Hint. They add up to 50.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b><br /></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>3. So let us skip way into the the more distant future from the year 3338 to the 25th Century after Matan Torah. Let us call that Century 2449 + 2400 or + 2500 years. Here we are talking about a period of one Century between 4849 and 4949. Since the year 5000 was the year 1240ce of the Gregorian Calendar, we are talking about a Century that began in 1088ce and ended in 1188 ce. That would be the 25th Century after Matan Torah at the Sefirah of Netzach that is in Netzach. Do we see anything in that Century befitting of the 25th level of purity and the Greek Exile? On first glance, No. The Greeks were not on the move to conquer the world in the 12th Century ce., but another event in the Jewish world Did take place which placed those things in Greek culture that could be used to sanctify the Name of G-d into their holy context. The Jew who did this was Rav Moshe Ben Maimon, the Great RaMBaM. With his publishing of the Guide for the Perplexed around 1190 ce very close to the 2500 year mark since 2449, the Rambam was able to give five proofs for the the existence of G-d where his proofs utilized Aristotelian logic! </b>Now as controversial as this may have been amongst many less respectful Jews who often tried to burn this particular work of his in bonfires for the next 100 years, the Guide remains the seminal work for how to utilize what is simply a vessel from Greek philosophy for it Holy purpose. <b>He took the secular vessel (of seven spheres) of Aristotelian logic and sanctified it and gave it the Qedushah of transcendence (of eight). This was no small achievement for a great philosophical work, one of the greatest of all time, at the end of 2500 years after Matan Torah! What is important to understand is the Netzach or the Eternity of Greek Wisdom? We know the names of their great philosophers like Aristotle from what is now 2500 years ago. They are household names as is the Netzach of Israel where the world knows the names of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and Moses. Where we differ from Greece is not in the Eternality of its Conceptions and Beliefs and its system of logic but in where to apply the next Sefirah Hod (Glory), for the Greeks gave their glory to Man while Israel gives its Glory to G-d. And it is from here that we arrive at Edom (Rome) who "pretends" to give its Glory to G-d......... in order to make money and to acquire eternal wealth in Olam HaZeh. </b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b><br /></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>So once again we arrive at the Gog Bush Sr. period of history that started 3300 years after Matan Torah. What is to prevent him and his chosen lieutenants for ruling for a full Century until the year 2088 (5848 or 3400 years after Matan Torah?). The answer lies in his grave error. He does not serve precisely to the 33rd level of purity which would have allowed him to have a Chazakah or partial ownership on Heavenly Money at least until the 34th level of Purity. Instead part of the way through the 33rd level he ran out of steam! Where do we see this?

No tears had yet rolled down his eyes to denote his suffering from having lost his principal blessing.</div><div><br /></div><div>But then comes this verse after the initial shock of coming to terms with how Ya'akov had come with guile and had taken the Brakhah meant for him:</div><div><br /></div><div> לז וַיַּעַן יִצְחָק וַיֹּאמֶר לְעֵשָׂו, הֵן גְּבִיר שַׂמְתִּיו לָךְ וְאֶת-כָּל-אֶחָיו נָתַתִּי לוֹ לַעֲבָדִים, וְדָגָן וְתִירֹשׁ, סְמַכְתִּיו; וּלְכָה אֵפוֹא, מָה אֶעֱשֶׂה בְּנִי.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>37 And Isaac answered and said unto Esau: 'Behold, I have made him thy lord, and all his brethren have I given to him for servants; and with grain and wine have I sustained him; and what then shall I do for thee, my son?'</div><div>לח וַיֹּאמֶר עֵשָׂו אֶל-אָבִיו, הַבְרָכָה אַחַת הִוא-לְךָ אָבִי--בָּרְכֵנִי גַם-אָנִי, אָבִי; וַיִּשָּׂא עֵשָׂו קֹלוֹ, וַיֵּבְךְּ.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>38 And Esau said unto his father: '<b>Hast thou but one blessing, my father? bless me, even me also, O my father.' And Esau lifted up his voice, and wept.</b></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div>So at this point apparently he actually cried two tears while a third tear welled up in his eye, but he never shed that tear!

The First Temple which he did not destroy, he rejoiced exceedingly over its destruction as the Jews who left Yerushalayim for Babylon passed through Edom on their way to Bavel. The Edomim taunted the Jews as they passed through their territory on their way to Bavel. As it says in Yechezkel 35:15 </b></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><b> כְּשִׂמְחָתְךָ לְנַחֲלַת בֵּית-יִשְׂרָאֵל, עַל אֲשֶׁר-שָׁמֵמָה--כֵּן אֶעֱשֶׂה-לָּךְ: שְׁמָמָה תִהְיֶה הַר-שֵׂעִיר וְכָל-אֱדוֹם כֻּלָּהּ, וְיָדְעוּ כִּי-אֲנִי יְהוָה. {פ}<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>15 As thou (Edom) didst rejoice over the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so will I do unto thee; thou shalt be desolate, O mount Seir, and all Edom, even all of it; and they shall know that I am the LORD. </b></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><b>So even before they destroyed the Second Temple, they had already gotten their full of Joy from the destruction of the First Temple!! So that their two tears of sorrow at having lost the brakhah to their brother Esav was "rectified" by their Joy over the destruction of both Temples! Continuing Psalm 80 about how Israel suffers since Esav's tears were heard on high:</b></div><div><br /></div><div>ו הֶאֱכַלְתָּם, לֶחֶם דִּמְעָה; וַתַּשְׁקֵמוֹ, בִּדְמָעוֹת שָׁלִישׁ.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>6 Thou hast fed them with the bread of tears, and given them tears to drink in large measure. <b> The actual word in Hebrew for (large Measure) refers to Esav's third tear that never fell. </b></div><div>ז תְּשִׂימֵנוּ מָדוֹן, לִשְׁכֵנֵינוּ; וְאֹיְבֵינוּ, יִלְעֲגוּ-לָמוֹ.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>7 Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbours; and our enemies mock as they please.</div><div>ח אֱלֹהִים צְבָאוֹת הֲשִׁיבֵנוּ; וְהָאֵר פָּנֶיךָ, וְנִוָּשֵׁעָה.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>8 O God of hosts, restore us; and cause Thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.</div></div><div><br /></div><div>From this we see that there was a cost to the fact that Ya'akov took the Brakhah that was meant for his brother with deceit. The cost was that Edom would rejoice twice over Israel's loss of two Temples. And in addition to that Israel would continue to suffer until the third tear that never fell had fully received its recompense. But because the third tear never fell, Esav never did a full teshuvah for his rebellion against G-d during the first 63 years of his life until he received his lesser blessing. And additionally, at the end of Days he would have three centuries of Teshuvah b'Ahavah corresponding to the 31st, the 32nd, and the 33rd levels of purity where he would fail to rectify his previous behavior from when he actually lived 3700 years ago! So how do we see this? The first 29 days of Teshuvah are in the month of Elul corresponding to Teshuvah b'Yirah (Repentance out of Reverence). The First Day of Rosh HaShanah is the 30th day of Teshuvah when a switch takes place which should continue for the next 10 days. The switch is that the concentrated effort should be on Teshuvah b'Ahavah all the way until Yom Kippur. It is at this point that we begin to shed tears over our horrendous behavior for lives not well spent. Tears appeal to G-d as a Father sway the Father in Love toward His Son while Tears before a King have basically no effect. Kings want obedience. They do not respond to us out of Love, but A Father does respond out of Love. So when one repents before a King, one simply vows to not repeat previous mistakes, and a Righteous King will potentially grant absolution from punishments, but on Day 30 we begin to appeal to G-d as our Father AND our King. So on that day we begin to plead with our tears in order to sway our G-d as our Father. So here we see a parallel to the fact that Moshe was told about the Mon on the 30th day of the Omer, and that the Omer was going to fall that very night on the 31st day of the Omer for the first time. <b>So if Esav had repented of his lawless ways with three whole tears, it would be as if he had truly risen three more levels b'Ahavah to the 33rd level of purity in wholesomeness and in righteousness, and perhaps his Malkhut would be Eternal or at least would last another full Century. But as history shows, that is NOT what occurred. The third tear welled up in his eye, and during the 33rd Century after Matan Torah, Edom entered a steep period of Moral Decline!. </b></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><b>I think on a basic spiritual level, Esav realized where History was headed with the founding of the United States of America in 1776. 1776 is before 1789 when its Constitution was ratified, and 1776 is at the end of the 31st Century after Matan Torah between 1688 and 1788. For the first time, Esav as a Civilization was going to at least attempt to serve G-d out of Love, a true repentance out of Love to Our Father in Heaven. Anyone who has read about the history of the American Colonies in the two generations leading up to the Revolution in 1776 knows about <a href="https://www.history.com/topics/british-history/great-awakening#:~:text=The%20Great%20Awakening%20was%20a,for%20religion%20had%20grown%20stale.&text=The%20result%20was%20a%20renewed%20dedication%20toward%20religion." target="_blank">"The Great Awakening"</a> and can testify to the fact that the Great Awakening was an attempt to Repent to G-d out of Love. </b>I would suggest reading about the Great Awakening in order to fully grasp the the spiritual revolution starting around 1730 instigated by people like Jonathan Edwards and George Whitefield to grasp the extent of the spiritual Revolution of the budding American nation as a Nation Under G-d (Not a nation under Yoshke per se) and how that preceded America as a nation by at least one generation. It is in this First Great Awakening that America as an exceptional nation received its mantle and its blessing for success. To fully understand the Founding of America, one must first grasp the innovative novelty of this Awakening. Now the reason for its importance is because the Great Awakening was the engine and the fuel for the next three centuries, the 31st, the 32nd, the the 33rd Centuries after Matan Torah. If America were to succeed in her mission statement of Serving G-d to Bring about Neverending Prosperity, it would have to morally grow and succeed for all three of these Centuries (until 1788, from 1789 until 1888, and from 1889 until 1988 when Gog Bush was elected President) Well it seemed to be holding its own until the sexual revolution that I discussed in detail in <a href="http://yearsofawe.blogspot.com/2021/06/crunch-time-last-trimester-of-final-9.html" target="_blank">this recent and previous post</a> . I will not spend a lot of time here discussing the stages of moral collapse that began to occur right after WW1, but the more notable collapse that began in the mid 1960s is the one that proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that Esav never intended to fully serve G-d up to the 33rd level of purity. About 2/3rds through that 33rd Century, the morality of his once great nation fell into ruin! Maybe it started with the iconic fill "Rebel Without a Cause" in 1955, the James Dean film on rebelling against G-d that grew from that moment in time which was almost precisely 2/3rds of the way through that 33rd Century. America would make it until 1988, but it would be at a point of steep moral decline that had taken root 33 years earlier. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>The Unfinished Pyramid</b>: The best way to understand Edom in his twilight is to analyze one of his principle occultic symbols. I basically meantion it here because this particular symbol is not just a symbol for Free-Masonry or the Illuminati. It is on the Reverse of the Great Seal of the United States! That is it is America's officially second most important National symbol! And the fact that it appears on the $1 bill emphasizes this important symbol as a vehicle for Serving the G-d that Americans trust in for the purpose of making money:</div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">:<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-J8bELMGdgMg/YX7u74Qu4mI/AAAAAAAAClg/MVcU8RkA2GE8xMIT54joWkMRdE80niLeACNcBGAsYHQ/image.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="726" data-original-width="720" height="240" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-J8bELMGdgMg/YX7u74Qu4mI/AAAAAAAAClg/MVcU8RkA2GE8xMIT54joWkMRdE80niLeACNcBGAsYHQ/image.png" width="238" /></a></div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Now, originally many of America's Founding Fathers did not want this to be a symbol of the United States or at least they did not want this symbol to be on any of America's national emblems. Benjamin Franklin preferred that that the Reverse of the Great Seal should be Moses Parting the Red Sea with the Children of Israel crossing the Sea with the Caption: <b>Rebellion to Tyrants is Obedience to G-d! </b> Thomas Jefferson preferred that the Front of the Great Seal should be a Pillar of Fire by Night and a Pillar of Cloud by day leading the Children of Israel in the Wilderness. Yes, these where some real proposals by some of America's Founding Fathers. All of the themes were Biblical themes from Hebrew Scripture. But none of these proposals was accepted by the bulk of America's founding fathers. What seemed to attract them was a Reverse that is strikingly similar to the Unfinished Pyramid above. What is noteworthy about this symbol is #1 Novus Order Seclorum, the Latin words for the English New World Order, what Gog Bush Sr. declared before the UN at the onset of the first Persian Gulf War in 1990. #2 But what is more striking that if you measure it with a ruler, the unfinished Pyramid is precisely cut off at the 2/3rds mark! Above the pyramid is a pagan eye of Isis, and Egyptian Avodah Zarah based on the actual wife of Nimrod (a subject that I do not want to tackle here), but just to say she rebelled against G-d just like her husband and controlled Nimrod's world govt by using the "dark occultic arts" and the Nimrodian Courts, which accounts for the title Dayanah or Diana which was her title as the head of Nimrod's courts. Again not getting deeply into this Isis. But her eye IS on the Reverse of the Seal of the United States, AND on the $1.00 bill. So it deserves a mention, lest people think that there is anything kosher about this American national symbol. Then there is Annuit Coeptis which means supposedly, that someone (Isis or G-d) is smiling on our efforts! What a Seal!! So here we go. Esav rises to a level which is equivalent of 2/3rds of the way to Sinai which turns out to be either 2/3rds of 49 = 32 and 2/3rds level of purity which represents "our efforts" OR 2/3rds of 50 which is 33.333333. which is 2/3rds of America's attachment to Infinity and Permanent Prosperity. <b> In reality by studying the history of the 20th Century, Edom reached his zenith in the 1950s in America, 2/3rds of the way to 49 up to the 33rd level of purity. Then he declared his New World Order 3300 years after Matan Torah in 1990, but in reality his New World Order will only last to the 33.33333 level of purity or 3333.33 years after Matan Torah even if the last fifty years of this process have represented Edom in steep spiritual decline. And his maximum use date or the time of his collapse is when he at the 33.33333 level of purity, or 3333.33. years after Matan Torah, at which point he can no longer lead Mankind. </b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b><br /></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>I did not discuss EverGrande (3333.hk) listed on the Hong Kong Exchange in this post.

In this post, I would suggest that you read previous posts about Edom's maximum effort to serve G-d to Attain Prosperity and to Make Money. My principal post about this years ago was about <a href="http://yearsofawe.blogspot.com/2006/03/thirty-third-degree-free-masonry.html" target="_blank">33rd Degree FreeMasonry</a> , but most of the discussion about this subject was done in the Comments section of numerous posts throughout the years. So here is a quick review. Esav had two primary faults: </p><p>1. When he sold his Bechorah at Age 15, his birthright for a double portion as a firstborn, he thought he was selling his portion in this World and keeping his portion in the World to Come. His logic was that he was usually successful in the world of competition in this world, and in his mind he did not need G-d's blessing to succeed in this world through his own wiles and natural talents, but to enter the world to Come, he needed G-d's blessing. So he thought that he could sell his portion of G-d's blessing in this world and keep his single portion of brakhah to enter the World to Come. To get that single portion, he did not need the double portion of a firstborn son. So he sold it for the Red lentil soup. Lo and behold, 48 years later at Age 63 when he went into his father's tent to receive his blessing, he finds out that what he had sold was his portion in the World to Come, and all he had left was his portion in Olam HaZeh! And rather than reflect on the logic behind losing his World to Come because of his G-dless behavior in this world, he blamed his brother for buying his double portion 48 years earlier! Yet, while Yaakov did employ deceit to get his brother's blessing just a few minutes earlier before Esav showed up in the tent, the birthright purchase 48 years before was 100% above board with no deceit whatsoever, but Esav refused to reflect on how he slowly lost his Olam HaBa over the years because of his own rebellion against G-d.</p><p>2. This second fault was likely his primary fault which lead to the loss of his Olam HaBa. Esav looked at his father Yitzchak as someone who lived a perfect life and like him was also very successful in the World of Business Competition. But he noticed that for his entire life, Yitzchak lived in a world where moral choices were black and white. And in such a world, Yitzchak of course always chose white in his world of more clarity. So when bad men came to steal his well, rather than negotiate with such men, he would simply withdraw and dig another well which he also succeeded at. He never had to choose the least of several evils or the greater of several goods where all his choices had lighter or darker shades of gray in them. Now, Yitzchak was not born into this set of circumstances, but After the Akeidah because his soul had gone to Shamayim for a brief moment, he was given the privilege of leading a life of Olam HaBa already in Olam HaZeh! This explains his unique inheritance to his children which included portions in both worlds! So by avoiding Evil, he always chose the best of all possible choices. Such choices were therefore not alterable by different extenuating circumstances where a "darker" choice might become the best choice that is available. The condition placed upon him to "live in such a world" was that he could never leave Eretz Yisrael as his father Avraham had and as his son, Yaakov, was bound to do. So when Esav saw that his choices were often between lighter and darker shades of gray, he became "frustrated" that he could never be as morally great as his father. Ya'akov thinking about these matters in his tent realized that the world of extenuating circumstances and choosing the best choice available amongst a set of choices was the World of Truth. For every negative commandment, there might be several set of circumstances where one might have a heter to "transgress" it, and for every positive commandment there might be dozens of reasons why one might be exempt from doing it. What later became clear is that this would be the way or "halakhah" of Jews in the world throughout history, and the Emeth of Ya'akov was actually superior to the Strict Black and White Justice of his great father. <b> Esav though rejected this thought process of his brother Ya'akov, and considered such "pilpul" of Ya'akov and the sages that would come from his loins to be Hypocrisy.</b> So if he could not live in the Black and White Moral Universe of his father, he chucked the entire system of moral decision making altogether! So when it came time to marry, he chose Canaanite wives from the 7 nations that claimed parts of E. Yisrael even though he knew this was forbidden by G-d.... along with a whole slew of major moral rebellions. And through all this, he STILL thought that when he had sold his birthright of a double portion (one in this world and one in the World to Come), he had held onto his single portion in the World to Come! So 48 years later while receiving his blessing for his portion in this World, he blamed his brother, sought to kill him, and then needed to come to terms with the one brakhah that his father had left for him. prosperity and kingship in this present Age if his brother Ya'akov was unworthy to lead in this present Age.</p><p><b>Esav Choosing Olam HaZeh:</b> So when Esav created his own religion, he found one where his World to Come was NOT contingent on his own moral behavior or on making G-d ordained moral decisions rooted in his extenuating circumstances. <b> Instead what was necessary for Esav in his mind to have an Olam HaBa was to find a man born a Jew who died for the future sins of Mankind so that people who believed in this could enter G-d's Heavenly Kingdom.</b> Never mind that there is nothing in Hebrew Scriptures which points to blood sin sacrifices giving someone access to Olam HaBa. Only Teshuvah could attain that. Blood animal sacrifices only extended one's life in this world, not in the next World! You could attach your life and extend your life in this world to the slaughter and placement of blood from a Qorban on an altar, but only if you suffer from YOUR OWN suffering and loss of blood in this world, does it extend your life into Olam HaBa. This is why animal sacrifices can become a big problem. People are lengthening their days on earth without lengthening their days in the World to Come. And when a Tzaddiq suffers for the sins of the Generation, the same thing happens. His generation suffers less in this world because of his suffering, but whether or not they enter Olam haBa is not changed by his righteousness alone. <b>But here we see that Esav, ONCE AGAIN, at his root confused his reward in Olam HaZeh for his reward in Olam HaBa, and someone else's suffering with his own suffering! </b>You might think that 3600 years later, he would have figured out the fallaciousness of his own logic, but no such luck. So based on his logical fallacy, he did realize something a bit new from the brakhah that he actually received from his father. If he wants to receive blessing from "the Dew" he needs to at least serve G-d to be blessed with prosperity in Olam haZeh His service need not be for its own sake, but if he wants prosperity and the Malkhut that comes from controlling the world's wealth, he needs to serve G-d up to a certain point or limit. <b>For this he actually looked into the Torah of Israel to find the inflection point where Ya'akov or Israel receives prosperity for his actions along with the potential to hold onto it forever (Ever being the key word). </b>From the Torah in Exodus 16, Parshat Be'Shalach after crossing the Red Sea but before arriving at Mt. Sinai we find the following: <b> וַיִּסְעוּ, מֵאֵילִם, וַיָּבֹאוּ כָּל-עֲדַת בְּנֵי-יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶל-מִדְבַּר-סִין, אֲשֶׁר בֵּין-אֵילִם וּבֵין סִינָי--בַּחֲמִשָּׁה עָשָׂר יוֹם לַחֹדֶשׁ הַשֵּׁנִי, לְצֵאתָם מֵאֶרֶץ מִצְרָיִם.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>1 </b>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, <b>on the fifteenth day of the second month</b> after their departing out of the land of Egypt.</p><p><b>ב וילינו (וַיִּלּוֹנוּ) כָּל-עֲדַת בְּנֵי-יִשְׂרָאֵל, עַל-מֹשֶׁה וְעַל-אַהֲרֹן--בַּמִּדְבָּר.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>2 </b>And the whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron in the wilderness;</p><p><b>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}<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>3 </b>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}</p><p><b>ד וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה אֶל-מֹשֶׁה, הִנְנִי מַמְטִיר לָכֶם לֶחֶם מִן-הַשָּׁמָיִם; וְיָצָא הָעָם וְלָקְטוּ דְּבַר-יוֹם בְּיוֹמוֹ, לְמַעַן אֲנַסֶּנּוּ הֲיֵלֵךְ בְּתוֹרָתִי אִם-לֹא.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>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.</b></p><p><b>ה וְהָיָה בַּיּוֹם הַשִּׁשִּׁי, וְהֵכִינוּ אֵת אֲשֶׁר-יָבִיאוּ; וְהָיָה מִשְׁנֶה, עַל אֲשֶׁר-יִלְקְטוּ יוֹם יוֹם.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>5 And it shall come to pass on the sixth day that they shall prepare that which they bring in, and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily.'</b></p><p>From here we see that, Moshe was informed about the Bread from Heaven on the 15th of Iyar, 30 days after leaving Mitzraim which would be the 30th day of the Counting of the Omer. Since Israel left Mitzraim on a Yom Chamishi, a Thursday, the 30th day was a Shabbat. That night, Motzei Shabbat, Bread would fall from Heaven for the first time and as the succeeding verses say, It would fall for 6 days, and on that day one should gather a double portion for Shabbat when Bread would NOT fall from Heaven. <b> So the beginning of Brakhah or Bread from Heaven would be on the 31st day of the Counting of the Omer!</b></p><p><b>Next we see this curious verse which awakens Esav's curiosity primarily because it refers to his own blessing from his father Yitzchak. וַיְהִי בָעֶרֶב--וַתַּעַל הַשְּׂלָו, וַתְּכַס אֶת-הַמַּחֲנֶה; וּבַבֹּקֶר, הָיְתָה שִׁכְבַת הַטַּל, סָבִיב, לַמַּחֲנֶה.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>13 </b>And it came to pass at even, that the quails came up, and covered the camp; <b>and in the morning there was a layer of dew</b> round about the camp.</p><p><b>יד וַתַּעַל, שִׁכְבַת הַטָּל; וְהִנֵּה עַל-פְּנֵי הַמִּדְבָּר, דַּק מְחֻסְפָּס--דַּק כַּכְּפֹר, עַל-הָאָרֶץ.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>14</b> And when the layer of dew was gone up, behold upon the face of the wilderness a fine, scale-like thing, fine as the hoar-frost on the ground.</p><p> <b>וַיִּרְאוּ בְנֵי-יִשְׂרָאֵל, וַיֹּאמְרוּ אִישׁ אֶל-אָחִיו מָן הוּא--כִּי לֹא יָדְעוּ, מַה-הוּא; וַיֹּאמֶר מֹשֶׁה, אֲלֵהֶם, הוּא הַלֶּחֶם, אֲשֶׁר נָתַן יְהוָה לָכֶם לְאָכְלָה.</b><span style="white-space: pre;"> </span><b>15</b> And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another: <b>'What is it?

And Esau lifted up his voice, and wept.</p><p><b>לט וַיַּעַן יִצְחָק אָבִיו, וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו: הִנֵּה מִשְׁמַנֵּי הָאָרֶץ, יִהְיֶה מוֹשָׁבֶךָ, וּמִטַּל הַשָּׁמַיִם, מֵעָל.</b><span style="white-space: pre;"> </span><b>39</b> And Isaac his father answered and said unto him: <b>Behold, of the fat places of the earth (or Oil of the earth) shall be thy dwelling, and of the DEW of HEAVEN from above;</b></p><p>From here Esav realizes that the Oil of the earth is his and not dependent on his behavior, <b>but if he wants access to the Bread that comes from the Heavenly Dew, he has to at least serve G-d starting to the 31st level of purity. </b> And that this bread will be called Mon, for Mon Hu means both <b>What is this</b>? and <b>This is Money</b>! It is this point that Esav accesses his memory about ownership in this world, something he paid attention to when learning from his father Yitzchak since both he and his father were talented businessmen. <b> If one uses something or some implement 3 times, he becomes part owner of that thing or that implement, and he can access that thing forever.</b> This is a key thing if one does not want to serve G-d forever, but rather to have access to Money forever. One needs to serve G-d to the 31st level of purity to access it, but after 3 days of serving G-d and accessing the Mon or the Money from Shamayim wrapped up by the Dew, one can access that Money <b>forever</b>! What a concept! What a blessing! Serve G-d until the 33rd level of purity in order to build one's prosperity and Kingdom in this world, and the Servant need no longer be G-d's servant. G-d's Kingdom on earth becomes his kingdom <b>forever at the 33rd level of purity, for the 3rd day that the Mon fell was on Lag B'Omer! And in this explanation, we have swerved into another concept. Why did Rav Akiva's students stop dying on Lag B'Omer? Because the Angel that represents Esav (Rome) in the Heavenly Court, only can accuse Ya'akov to the level of purity to which Esav serves and then stops serving G-d. The Angel of Edom loses his claim to accuse Ya'akov above the 33rd level of purity. </b>Above the 33rd level, the one who counts the Omer is no longer trying to accrue wealth in Olam HaZeh, but to attach himself/herself to his/her Father in Heaven.</p><p><br /></p>Dov Bar-Leibhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15915682856620634130noreply@blogger.com45tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10578166.post-35299295582650536252021-06-11T04:23:00.040+03:002022-01-31T15:57:22.666+02:00Crunch Time: The Last Trimester of the Final 9 Months<p> This may be one of my most important posts or one of a series of important posts. But I will have to be brief in this introduction. Everything that I am writing about from here on out is assuming a B'itah Redemption process where Mashiach should come during the Motzei Shmittah year 5783 after a full year of Judgement on the Nations of the World as a Year of Payback (Recompense) for the Cause or Grievance of Tzion (Isaiah 34:8). It will be a long year next year, a 13 month year with two Adars. In contrast this 6th year is one of the shortest of years with only one Adar and a 15th of Tevet which actually came in the last week of December 2020 when Mashiach ben Ephraim, Yehonatan Pollard, arrived to Tzion on the tarmac of Ben Gurion Airport at four in the morning. The last Israeli leader of a STABLE pre-Messianic State of Israel greeted him at the airport. At this stage I am not commenting on Naftali Bennett and Gideon Sa'ar's semi-traitorous shenanigans except to say that whatever government Bennett, Sa'ar, Lapid, Lieberman, Gantz, Meretz, Labor and Monsour Abbas (8 parties!) are trying to form, the only thing that is driving their desire to form a government is to cause the "overthrow" of the existing "king" who represents the impure Netzitzot of King Shaul, Bibi Netanyahu. We are transitioning from Zecharia 12 to Zecharia 14 as their attempt will simply invite more instability, more riots in the mixed Arab/ Jewish cities and Jerusalem neighborhoods, and the resultant UN Sec Council vote to divide the Land of Israel and to send troops to accomplish that in the very short term (probably before the end of 5781). This post-normal, fully Dystopian Shmittah cycle is so dark, the fact that HaShem has delayed this action by the UN through the Presidency of Donald Trump for four years (in years 2 through 5) until the end of the 6th year of this last pre-Messianic Shmittah Cycle has been a marvel to behold. All the above in in contrast to Achishena where Mashiach ben David could come today or tomorrow or this coming Motzei Shabbat. At this stage while talking about process in this post, I am assuming a B'itah process that can no longer be delayed by our collective screw ups .... of which we have no shortage. I am assuming B'itah, knowing full well that HaShem could circumvent that process by bringing Mashiach Achishena at any moment of any day. <b>The question is would He (HaShem) circumvent B'itah when even as frum Jews we have had major problems on the Communal level choosing human decency over bribes for our educational institutions when placed before our eyes? In 2005 when the Evacuation of Gaza was imminent, some of us chose the 290 million shekel bribe offered by Sharon so that his govt could follow through on destroying Jewish Gaza without having to deal with pesky new elections. </b></p><p>So let us look at how we got here and where we are. As I have linked to in various other posts throughout the years, (<a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1vl30UZFPTiLzfVFvoprFRKptq2APpv4ucbFqEfT7alc/htmlview#" target="_blank">to a chart by someone we will call "Gilui" which is the nickname he wants to be known by</a> since Gilui is also an acronym for his name), Ezra HaSofer set up the modern cycles of Shmittah and Yovel in the year 3416, approximately 8 years after the building the 2nd Temple according to Seder Olam dating. At this point I am excluding the additional 165 years of the Persian Empire that are part of secular history, discussed by Rav Shimon Schwab zt"l in order to not add unnecessary complications to this explanation. <b> Now to get to the right page in this chart, click on the tab "List of Yovel Years"</b>. You should now be on a page which lists all Yovel years starting from Yehoshua bin Nun's conquest of Eretz Yisrael during the First Temple Period. Yet, since the First Temple corresponded to the Divine Chessed of Pesach, if we want a count of Yovel years that corresponds to Sefirat HaOmer, we must start from the takanah of Ezra haSofer when he reset the Shmittah and Yovel count starting "8 years" after the 2nd Temple was built when Ezra came to the Land to stabilize Torah and Temple observance in Eretz Yisrael at the beginning of the 2nd Temple period. Now I am not sure why this count does not exclude the Sefirot of Chessed which correspond with Sefirat HaOmer during Pesach, but Ezra HaSofer had the authority to reset the Counting of Shmittot and Yovelot in the same way that Yehoshua bin Nun had the authority to set up the Counting of the same over 900 years prior. Notice in the Counting of Yovel years, as long as either Temple stood or the Mishkan stood before the Temple, the Yovel year was the 50th year and was a "stand alone" year which was not counted as the first year of the next Yovel cycle. So during the 2nd Temple, for instance, the Yovel year was always the 15th and 65th years of every Jewish Century. 3465 was the first Yovel year of the 2nd Temple period, the 50th year after the takanah of Ezra HaSofer, and the last Yovel year was the year 3815 (55 ce), about 15 years before the destruction of the 2nd Temple. This would make 62ce and 69ce Shmittah years. And if the Temple was destroyed in 69ce, it was destroyed in a Shmittah year, the 2nd Shmittah in that Yovel cycle. If it was destroyed in the year 70 ce, then it was destroyed in the Motzei Shmittah year. Notice unlike the Shmittah/ Yovel cycles of Yehoshua, the Takanah of Ezra did NOT pre-condition the fact that there would be an independent Yovel year on the need for the Majority of Jews to live in Eretz Yisrael because during the 2nd Temple period, the Majority of the world's Jews lived in Babylon and later on in Egypt and Babylon after Alexandria in Egypt became home to 1 million Jews. So for the entire period that both Temples stood, there was a stand alone Yovel year. <b>With the destruction of both Temples and with Ezra's Temple in particular, the stand alone Yovel year was no more, and the Yovel year as the 50th year was in potential only so that that Yovel year doubled up as the first year of the next Shmittah/ Yovel Cycle!</b> So after Churban Bayit Sheini, the Yovel year effectively came every 49 years, not every 50 years. Yes, the Yovel year potentially was the 50th year, but since it was also the first year of the next cycle, the next Yovel year until today basically came every 49 years. There are those who say that the Messianic name Yinon refers to the potential that the last Yovel year will be either the 49th or the 50th Jubilee (take your pick) referring to both of the Nuns (50th Nun) in the name Yinon. Whether he would come at the beginning or end of the 49th or 50th Yovel would therefore be open for discussion. The 49th Yovel is already at the level of David HaMelekh (Malkhut that is in Malkhut) while the 50th Yovel is already Ma'aleh min HaTeva! Oh by the way, notice that we are there. The Year 5776 (Fall 2015- 2016) was the 48th Yovel year since the takanah established by Ezra HaSofer but was also the first year of the 49th Yovel cycle! So we are in the 6th year of the first Shmittah cycle of the 49th Yovel cycle since the establishment of the takanah of Ezra.</p><p>Now we know something tremendous about the Yovel year which we learn from Parshat BeHar in Sefer Leviticus (VaYikra 25:10) וְקִדַּשְׁתֶּם, אֵת שְׁנַת הַחֲמִשִּׁים שָׁנָה, וּקְרָאתֶם דְּרוֹר בָּאָרֶץ, לְכָל-יֹשְׁבֶיהָ; יוֹבֵל הִוא, תִּהְיֶה לָכֶם, וְשַׁבְתֶּם אִישׁ אֶל-אֲחֻזָּתוֹ, וְאִישׁ אֶל-מִשְׁפַּחְתּוֹ תָּשֻׁבוּ.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>10 And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout the land unto all the inhabitants thereof;<b> it shall be a jubilee unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession</b>, and ye shall return every man unto his family. Here we have the pasuk of the Liberty Bell, well half of it. Considering that the 48th Yovel was in the year 5776 and that America was founded in 1776, the fact that half of this verse is on the Liberty Bell is no accident? Perhaps the Founding FreeMasons tried to tap somewhat successfully into something really holy? just digressing. But notice the second half of this pasuk. <i>The Yovel shall be for you. Every Man will return to his possessions, and every man will return to his family.</i> Several things: Tashuvu is spelled absent a Vav, meaning that that when this occurs we will be missing 6. Could this be a reference to the 6 million who died in the Shoah? Or a huge chunk of the 6 million of American Jews who want no part of Eretz Yisrael so much so that they join rallies in America for our destruction? But it begs the question because the promise of a Real Yovel is for Jews to return to their possessions in Eretz Yisrael. So look at the historical data. The 45th Yovel year according to the above chart was in the year 5629 (1869). This was the last Yovel before the Beginning of the Greening of Eretz Yisrael which began in the First Agricultural Aliyah starting in 1882 with the founding of Mazkeret Batya and Zikhron Ya'akov. For this we need a pasuk from Parshat Nitzavim (Deut 29:21-22) where it says the following: </p><p> וְאָמַר הַדּוֹר הָאַחֲרוֹן, בְּנֵיכֶם אֲשֶׁר יָקוּמוּ מֵאַחֲרֵיכֶם, וְהַנָּכְרִי, אֲשֶׁר יָבֹא מֵאֶרֶץ רְחוֹקָה; וְרָאוּ אֶת-מַכּוֹת הָאָרֶץ הַהִוא, וְאֶת-תַּחֲלֻאֶיהָ, אֲשֶׁר-חִלָּה יְהוָה, בָּהּ.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>21 And the generation to come,<b> </b>your children that shall rise up after you,<b> and the foreigner that shall come from a faraway land, shall say, when they see the plagues of that land, and the sicknesses wherewith the LORD hath made it sick;</b></p><p>כב גָּפְרִית וָמֶלַח, שְׂרֵפָה כָל-אַרְצָהּ--לֹא תִזָּרַע וְלֹא תַצְמִחַ, וְלֹא-יַעֲלֶה בָהּ כָּל-עֵשֶׂב: כְּמַהְפֵּכַת סְדֹם וַעֲמֹרָה, אַדְמָה וּצְבֹיִים, אֲשֶׁר הָפַךְ יְהוָה, בְּאַפּוֹ וּבַחֲמָתוֹ.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>22 and that the whole land thereof is brimstone, and salt, and a burning,<b> that it is not sown, nor beareth, nor any grass groweth therein, like the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim, which the LORD overthrew in His anger, and in His wrath;</b></p><p>From here we see that the descendants of those who stood at Sinai would travel to Eretz Yisrael in the last generation before the greening of the Land, <b>and One gentile specifically would come from a faraway land in that generation and would see and write about the plagues of the Land and that the Land would be as if it had been destroyed by Divine Wrath with no plant life for miles nor any grass growing therein as if it had been overthrown like S'dom and Gomorrah.</b> So a quick study from the year 1869 we find <a href="https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/the-innocents-abroad" target="_blank">this Book by Mark Twain, The Innocents Abroad</a> was published in 1869. It is most certainly the the most popularly read travelogue of the 19th Century and Mark Twain's best selling book of his illustrious career. In his book he spends over 100 pages describing his travels to Eretz Yisrael often using the precise language describing the forlornness of the Land described in the Torah verses above. <b> In short, he is the one gentile that comes in the "last generation" before the Greening of Eretz Yisrael to describe the Land with the words in the Torah, and while he came in 1867, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Innocents_Abroad" target="_blank">his words were published in the potential Yovel year 1869</a>.</b> While he describes some fertility in the Galil at the headwaters to the Yarden, at Lake Hula, and on the shores of the Sea of Galilee, while he traveled from Tiveriyah to Yerushalayim, this is how he described Eretz Yisrael: <i> <b>We traversed some miles of desolate country whose soil is rich enough but is given wholly to weeds -- a silent mournful expanse. A Desolation is here that not even imagination can grace with the pomp of life and action. </b> We reached Tabor safely... We never saw a human being on the whole route. We pressed on toward the goal of our crusade, renowned Jerusalem. The further we went, the hotter the sun got and the more rocky and bare, repulsive and dreary the landscape became..... <b>There was hardly a tree or a shrub anywhere. Even the olive and the cactus, those fast friends of worthless soil, had almost deserted the country. No landscape exists that is more tiresome to the eye than that which bounds the approaches to Jerusalem.... </b> </i></p><p><i><b>Jerusalem is mournful, dreary and lifeless</b>. I would not desire to live here. it is a hopeless, dreary, heartbroken land.... <b>Palestine sits in sackcloth and ashes. Over it broods the spell of a curse that has withered its fields and fettered its energies... Palestine is desolate and unlovely. And why should it be otherwise? Can the curse of the Deity beautify a Land?</b> Palestine is no more of this work-day world. It is sacred to poetry and tradition-- it is dream-land. </i></p><p>So an investigation into what happened in 1869 reveals that the most important travelogue of the 19th Century was published that year by the one Nakhri (gentile), probably one of the most famous gentiles, that visited the Land and wrote extensively about what he saw. <b>The words of the prophesy in Parshat Nitzavim were therefore fulfilled by this most famous of 19th Century books.</b> And in the text of the words we even learn his first name, the name of the non-Jew that is hinted at in the text of the Torah. The Torah says that he will come from a faraway land, מֵאֶרֶץ רְחוֹקָה. In Hebrew, the Roshei Teivot often take the first two letters of the first word of the acronym and the first letter of each word that follows. In the case of two word acronyms, we often take the first two letters of the first word and then the first two letters of the second word as in Telephone Number or Mispar Telephone מסט"ל or The Holy Tongue (Lashon HaQodesh לשה"ק). So applying this rule for Roshei Teivot we get מאר"ח (March) with the Ch being a Chet, hinting for all time the first name of the gentile who would come to Eretz Yisrael from a faraway land... Hannibal, Missouri. You can look it up how far that place is from Eretz Yisrael. It is from that moment in time in that potential Yovel year (5629), the end of the 45th Yovel cycle set up by Ezra HaSofer, that the conditions are set to bring on the Final Redemption, the conditions of one lone gentile coming to the Land of Israel to report to Mankind about the Curse of the Deity on the fertility of Eretz Yisrael within one generation (30 years from one generation to the next) of that Curse being lifted with the founding of the agricultural settlements of Zikhron Ya'akov, Rosh Pina, and Mazkeret Batya.</p><p>On to the next potential Yovel 49 years later (5678 aka Fall of 1917- 1918): The key point to recognize for later is that 5678 was the 46th Yovel or potential Yovel from Ezra HaSofer's takanah on Shmittah and Yovel. If a total of 50 Yovelot were set up for Klal Yisrael, b'itah, and if Mashiach ben David had to show up in the 49th Yovel cycle at the sefirah of Malkhut that is in Malkhut, then the Redemption b'itah HAD to begin from the 46th Yovel which was also the beginning of the 47th Yovel cycle, to be explained below when discussing the spiritual deterioration of basic human sanctity in thirds. <b>1/3rd of Mankind would deteriorate in the 47th cycle, and the middle 1/3rd, the bulk of humanity in Western Civilization, would deteriorate in the 48th cycle, leaving only 1/3rd of humanity in the spiritually healthy range above -49th level of impurity after 98 years.</b> First of all, let us recognize the pivotal Geulah events of that 46th Yovel year which actually started in November of 1917 and is in line with "<i>every Jew will return to his possessions" in the Land of Israel.</i> </p><p>1. Balfour Declaration (Nov 2nd, 1917 or 17 MarCheshvan 5678): While the British are engaged in their larger war to destroy the Ottoman Empire amongst other goals of WW1, they are in the process of conquering Eretz Yisrael in the Fall of 1917. On Oct 31st, 1917, The British Empire's Egyptian Expeditionary Force secured all of Southern Eretz Yisrael for the British Empire in the Battle of Beer Sheva at which point the British War Cabinet lead by PM David Lloyd Gog (a good Gog) decided to release the following Declaration. In the midst of the chaotic withdrawal of Turkish and German troops from the battle line between Gaza and Beer Sheva, Foreign Secretary Lord Arthur Balfour issued the following Declaration: <i style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="background-color: #f8f9fa; text-align: center;">His Majesty's Government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country.</span> </i><span style="font-family: inherit;">So with major pitfalls, the Jewish National Home project of the Nations of the World auspiciously began. The first major pitfall was a mistake by the Western nations that there was an indigenous Palestinian people in Eretz Yisrael at the time of the British conquest. For one, for all of the previous 1300 years of Muslim history, there NEVER was an Arab or for that matter any Muslim Palestine or Palestinian people. From Mark Twain's travelogue we learn that most of Northern Eretz Yisrael from Tiveriya to Yerushalayim, the Land in 1867 while Twain was here, was astonishingly empty and barren. Secondly, even at the end of the 19th Century when Jews were already returning in large numbers to the four holy cities (Chevron, Yerushalayim, Tiveriya, and Tzefat) and to the new agricultural yishuvim, the the land between Yerushalayim and Chevron had a special designation called the Sanjak or </span><span face="sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #202122; font-size: 14px;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #202122;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Mutasarrifate</span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> of Al Quds, but the </span>northern<span style="font-family: inherit;"> 3/4s of Eretz Yisrael was headquartered in either Damascus or later on in Beirut. The northern 3/4s of Eretz Yisrael NEVER had any special designation called Palestine, and no city south of the present border between Israel and Lebanon or Syria down to the Al Quds Sanjak was EVER the Capital of any provincial region of any Muslim Empire, </span>probably<span style="font-family: inherit;"> because of the astonishing emptiness of the Land south of Tiveriya! And even with Yerushalayim, Al Quds only had special designation for any Muslim Empire starting in 1871 after heavy Jewish immigration into the southern Holy cities of Yerushalayim and Chevron earlier in the 19th Century. Yet, with all the original mistakes and eventual filthy lies which would cost countless Jewish lives, the return of the Jews to their possessions was given an attempted stamp of international approval after the WW1 starting with this </span>auspicious<span style="font-family: inherit;"> Declaration in Nov 1917. The return of Israel to its former possessions with some veil of international approval had begun in the potential Yovel year 5678. </span></p><p>2. Probably in part as Heavenly Reward for the British Govt of PM David Lloyd Gog's Declaration, General Edmund Allenby liberated Yerushalayim from the Ottoman Turks Erev Chanukah 5678 (9th December 1917) ending with the quick conquest of the rest of Eretz Yisrael. The Surrender of the the Holy City occurred when the Ottoman's retreated from the City on 9 December 1917 while the Mayor of "Al Quds" Hussein Salim Al- Husseini tried to deliver the Ottoman Governors letter of surrender, but Allenby only entered the City two days later on the 2nd Day of Chanukah when he was assured that "he could enter the Holy City on foot in order to show proper respect to the Holy places in the City". For this reason, Gen. Allenby entered Yerushalayim on the 2nd day of Chanukah through the Yafo Gate on foot with no cavalry or mechanized vehicles, officially liberating the City. In a conflicting report, it is recorded that the British <span style="background-color: white;"><span><span style="color: #202122; font-family: inherit;">10th Light Horse Regiment and a New Zealand Mounted Rifles Brigade representative troop commanded by 2nd Lieutenant C.J. Harris, Canterbury Regiment accompanied Allenby who apparently entered the City on foot. This liberation occurred precisely six weeks after the British had won the Battle of Beer Sheva and had immediately released the Balfour Declaration following victory in that Battle. And the Battle of Beer Sheva had only been won after a full six month stalemate where no one advanced over the frozen line of battle between Gaza and Beer Sheva. <b>Once the British committed themselves to G-d's goal of that particular Yovel year to return Eretz Yisrael to its holy people, near the actual </b></span><span style="color: #202122;"><b>beginning</b></span><span style="color: #202122;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b> of that year 5678, the Victory to capture Yerushalayim came quickly like a flash of lightning.</b> By Chanukah, the troops of David Lloyd Gog had captured Yerushalayim. And the last battle to capture Eretz Yisrael from the Turks was the Battle of Megiddo between the 19th and 25th of September in Tishrei of the Motzei Yovel year. In reality it was a multi-front battle from Tulkarm and a village called Tabsor in the Sharon Plain in the south to Natzareth in the north </span>with<span style="font-family: inherit;"> Yezre'el Valley in between (including a Jewish farming village called Afula). <b>Allenby in order to be "Biblically dramatic" called it the Battle of Megiddo, even though there was no fighting at Tel Megiddo specifically, in order to dramatize that it was, in his mind, meant to be the Final Battle of </b></span><b>Armageddon</b><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b> in what so many thought was the War to End All Wars, WW1. Little did he know that WW1 was only the First War of GogUMagog, not the Third one, the last one. </b> But true to form, this battle to drive the Turks out of Israel ended on the 19th of Tishrei in the year after the potential Yovel two days before Hoshana Rabbah 5679 (25 Sept 1918). He succeeded beyond what may have been his wildest dreams. On September 25th, 1918, two days before Hoshana Rabba 5679, the Ottomans retreated to Damascus, leaving Eretz Yisrael to the Lebanese and Syrian borders totally in the hands of the British. Damascus fell to the British and French forces on the first of October 1918, and Aleppo in Syria, (the northern border of Eretz Yisrael, never conquered by Yehoshua, according to Kaftor veFerach) fell on the 26th of October 1918. </span></span></span></span></p><p>In order to understand what happened next, we need to integrate three concepts from our Prophets and Sages: <b>1. As Yerushalayim is being rebuilt, Caesarea (Western Civilization) is headed for ruin.</b> Without getting too far ahead of ourselves, if one contemplates the next potential Yovel year 5727 (Fall 1966- Summer of 1967), we see that in that potential Yovel year all of Yerushalayim, (except for the Temple Mount, given back to the Arabs by the Erev Rav), was united under Jewish sovereignty with massive neighborhood building projects in and around all of Yerushalayim since the 6 Day War. Also Judea, Binyamin, and Samaria were placed into Jewish control during the 6 Day War for the first time since the Bar Kokhba Revolt temporarily threw the Romans out of Judea in 132 ce. <b>The 6 Day War, once again, took place at the end of 47 Yovelot "returning the Land to the Possession of its Jewish Children."</b> On the spiritual scale, over the course of two 49 year stretches while the Land of Israel slowly is being returned to its children with two spurts in the Yovel years 5678 and 5727 themselves, Western Civilization slowly over the course of those same 98 years has disintegrated below Mem Tet Shaarei Tumah. As with the rebuilding of Yerushalayim, it did so in two 49 year spurts ending on Shavuot night until Alot HaShachar when Omar Mateen (from Mem Tet to Nun) walked into that homosexual bar in Orlando, Florida and murdered precisely 49 homosexuals becoming the 50th dead body in that pub when the SWAT team burst through the walls and shot him dead at dawn on Shavuot morning 5776 (2016). <b> This represented for all time how Western Civilization destroyed 2/3rds of itself through increasing levels of depravity in Sexual Immorality over the course of 98 years, only to become a tool of Islam's Global objectives where Murder and Mayhem are glorified at the expense of basic human sanctity.</b> Once again 5776 was another potential Yovel year, the 48th potential Yovel since Ezra HaSofer's takanah. <b>The Leading Edge of Western Civilization's internal moral destruction, though, has been from Sexual Immorality, not Murder! And the Leading edge of Islam's or Yishmael's internal dissolution has been through Murder and Mayhem and not through Sexual Immorality! So why is that the case when Edom's or Esav's negative tendency is for Murder, and Yishmael's negative tendency is for Immorality according to our Sages?? The answer is in the Religions and Institutions that Edom (Western and Xtian Civilization) and Yishmael (the Islamic World) respectively set up over the Centuries to PREVENT their internal collapse from these two vices.</b> With Islam it is easy to see. They literally wear it as the clothes on their backs and the covering of their entire bodies from head to toe. In order to protect themselves from internal collapse because of Immorality, they cover their women from head to toe in many cases, and the hijab of even more liberal sects of Islam according to Islamic law must fully cover the hair and neck of their women, only allowing for an oval to allow the features of their faces to be seen by the outside world. But in many cases as pointed out above, the burka only allows the exposure of a slit for the eyes of their women to see. In contrast, for Jewish women, if they are not married, women need not cover their faces, necks, nor their hair, and in the case of married women, only their hair needs to be covered. <b>It is even a question in Judaism if the covering of hair is for the sake of modesty since for single women covering hair is not required. Usually for issues of modesty, a Jewish woman dresses with equal dress lengths and necklines whether one is single or married.</b> More likely, covering hair is because a women's halo or shining light (her aura) should only be shared with her husband, a glow which she only receives from marriage (Qiddushin). Before marriage when this spiritual glow is not evident, a Jewish woman does not even need to cover her hair. For a married man, the spiritual glow also becomes evident, but only in davening during the Amidah when a man covers his hair with a tallit. From this we see that a married Jewish man must work harder to have this spiritual glow through davening while a Jewish woman intrinsically has this glow from simply getting married through (Qiddushin)! Therefore, at an intrinsic level, a married Jewish woman is at a higher spiritual level than a married Jewish man, for she has her external spiritual glow even when doing secular chores or secular work while a man only has this glow in the height of his davening. So the spiritual reason in Judaism for even covering a married woman's hair transcends basic modesty since a single woman need not cover her hair! <b> I am only pointing this all out in order to stress that the Islamic World, unlike the Torah Jewish world, is solely doing all this covering above the shoulders for the sake of modesty IN ORDER TO PROTECT THEIR CIVILIZATION FROM DECAY THROUGH ADULTERY! IN ORDER TO PREVENT OTHER MEN FROM TAKING AND STEALING OTHER MEN'S WIVES!</b> Since Yishmael has this vice as an intrinsic tendency, Islam as a Way of Life exists in part to counteract this intrinsic tendency so that Islamic Civilization will not decay because of Yishmael's intrinsic Yetzer HaRa, Sexual Immorality. <b>The problem therefore comes at the End of History, specifically, in the previous two Jubilee cycles (the 47th and 48th Yovel cycles since Ezra) between 1918 and 1967 and between 1967 and 2016. At this stage in history, the the spiritual glow on the physical fabric of the the existing world order is decaying AS YERUSHALAYIM IS BEING REBUILT.</b> Plus, in the case of Yishmael, his 1300 year control of Eretz Yisrael according to the Zohar ended in 1918 when his reign for 26 Jubilees since 644ce (4404, <a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1vl30UZFPTiLzfVFvoprFRKptq2APpv4ucbFqEfT7alc/htmlview#" target="_blank">see Yovel chart</a>) ended, from when Omar the Magnificent conquered Yerushalayim for the Arab Empire in 637 or 638ce until the end of the 26th Yovel for Islam in 1918. <b> But the source of his decay is NOT through his natural tendency for Immorality since he has protected himself from that, but it has come from Murder and Mayhem.</b> This historical event that most symbolized the real collapse of Islamic Civilization through Murder and Mayhem was the Armenian Genocide perpetrated by the Ottomans during WW1 followed by the internecine bloodshed in the Arab World ever since culminating in the Syrian Civil War after the Arab Spring..... On to Edom...</p><p><b>If the natural negative tendency in Yishmael for Sexual Immorality was blunted by Islam through its severely strict dress code, one might think that Xtianity counteracted Esav's natural tendency for Murder, Bloodshed, and Gore through Xtian love, Peace on earth, and Good will towards men ..... No such luck.</b> A cursory look at 1700 years of the history of Western Civilization (specifically in Europe) since the Council of Nicaea in 325ce when Constantine Xtianized the Roman Empire presents a case where the gory bloodshed of Malkhut Edom did not abate at all! As a matter of fact, with technological advancements over the Centuries in the intervening 17 centuries, Western Civilization became bloodier and bloodier over the course of time. By the time of the 20th Century, and the de-Xtianization of Europe because of Fascism and Bolshevism/Marxism, the Western World was ready to set the stage for the rivers of blood from 100 million dying human beings globally. In the intervening centuries the Catholic Church, as a unifying force and by Xtianizing even those who did not want to be Xtians, tried to stem the flow of blood between fellow Catholics, but they kept springing leaks as progressively increasing numbers of people no longer wanted to be Roman Catholics. From the schism of the Byzantine Orthodox Church in 1054ce, to Henry the VIII's establishment of an Anglican Church that would annul all of his marriages with the wives that he did not murder, to the Protestant Reformation, Europe is bathed in blood. Yet, even after Centuries of European Xtians bludgeoning each other and pogroming its Jews, nothing could prepare themselves for the atheistic rivers of blood which would follow in the 20th Century as a result of Fascism and Marxism. Something had to rise to stem the tide, or Edom's spiritual mark would be limited to its mind-twisting theology of how to attain a place in the world to come through believing that someone else, a son of a betrothed wife of a Jewish carpenter, died for his sins in spite of his sub-par behavior in the area of human decency. Morality was only important for the national prosperity, but war and bloodshed between competitive nations never stopped flowing. Into this mix came the United States of the Americas. Yes, US of America was so so different from the start. </p><p><a href="http://yearsofawe.blogspot.com/2005/03/american-twilight.html" target="_blank">As I discussed in formative posts on this blog</a>, America was founded on the morality of the Hebrew Written scriptures not on the morality of the "New Testament", which really is not a text dealing with morality and decency but a text dealing with how to get into the next world without worrying incessantly about morality and decency. America as a majority Xtian nation still had its hang-up of not understanding that G-d truly takes into account our extenuating circumstances when He judges us so that we can be held accountable ONLY with the free will choices that any particular situation gives us. If we need to steal in order to not die, we have a heter (a temporary permission) to steal as long as the serious threat to our life exists. Only for the three cardinal sins, Murder, Immorality, and Idolatry is there no heter to do those things in order to survive (to not die). With a gun at our heads, one is permitted to steal by G-d Himself if it is demanded at the point of a gun, but one is not permitted to murder. Yet, on a everyday application of Noachide Law, American common sense prevailed and usually allowed for these extenuating circumstances in courts of law even if there was no heter in their minds to enter the World to Come without Yoshke paving the way. These allowances of course were only given to American citizens. For Native Americans and for slaves considered to be worth 3/5ths of a human being, they were given no such favors of granting allowance based on extenuating circumstances in Courts of Jurisprudence. And of course when America went to war, for most of its history until Vietnam, America knew how to win wars by not granting the enemy such considerations either. America's greater flaw is basically Esav's second flaw, that all Good that is done, must be done with a long-term motive of Profit and Prosperity. The purpose of serving G-d even according to the values of Hebrew Scriptures is to achieve the American Golden Calf Dream, to retire comfortably with a million dollars in savings. The converse to make money to serve G-d, is great and altruistic. Such people can be lauded, but it is not intrinsically American to demand such altruism of its citizens. It is why America ostensibly fails 3333 years after Sinai at the level of Hod that is in Hod (the 33rd level of purity). Only nations that serve G-d altruistically can lead the world to the next level. Only the nation with a Mashiach ben Yosef at Yesod that is in Yesod (41st level of purity) or a Mashiach ben David at Malkhut that is in Malkhut (49th level of purity) can take Mankind to the next level, and even with American visionaries and its Founding Fathers, America is NOT that nation.... and neither is Australia which right now in 2021 is likely the most morally sane nation in the Western World. </p><p>So the question might be asked after WW1, what did America do to clean up Esav's Murder and Mayhem tendencies of the previous, at the time, almost 1600 years of Xtianity? President Woodrow Wilson's 14 Points to End, with Fairness, the War that was supposed to End all Wars! In almost every way there was nothing magnanimous or particularly Xtian about Wilson's 14 points. It is completely rooted in secular thought with no G-d centered overtones in the language of the points. Xtian Civilization, technologically and economically lightyears ahead of the rest of humanity by the turn of the 20th Century, had conquered the world but had not conquered Edom's intrinsic nature as a violent, blood-shedding or bloodletting civilization. Interestingly enough, in the area of sexual immorality, Xtianity DID devolop an aversion to homosexuality, adultery, bestiality, and incest, the four big Do Nots of Sexual Immorality. This is not to say that no one in the West throughout history broke these Commandments to Noach from G-d, but as a Civilization for the most part for 1600 years, the above behaviors were shunned by the vast majority of Xtians. Modesty in the Western World was also a premium value for most of that time. Anyone who has seen footage of American women at the beach in 1900 in dresses down to their ankles wading in the ocean knows how far and how fast America fell in the 120 years between 1900 and 2020 even while the men of Edom were bludgeoning and bleeding their perceived enemies over wars dealing with particulars of Xtian faith or mercantile shipping or colonization for precious natural resources, whatever the reasons for the countless wars that Europeans fought over the Centuries. As the inability of Xtians to find Xtian solutions to the problem of murder and bloodshed became obvious, it was inevitable that a person born into a Xtian American family with a moral heritage somewhat rooted in the Bible would find secular and "progressive" solutions to the subduing the bludgeoning nature of Malkhut Edom. The Bible would be necessary because the prophetic vision of World Peace as expressed by Yishayahu, Micah, Malachi, and Zecharia did produce fertile fruit in the minds of those who read their written texts. So an individual well versed in the prophetic texts would be required to come up with secular prescriptions to at least in theory achieve this vision while rejecting in principal the Jewish path for achieving the Utopian reality. The person of the West would likely be a nominal Xtian with a flawed personal character with grandiose dreams and an equally grandiose intellect. Such the man was President Woodrow Wilson. He was a devout segregationist who became President the first time in 1912 because his opposition included the Republican incumbent President William H. Taft and the third party candidate, former President Theodore Roosevelt, both of them together splitting the opposition vote. He won a second term in 1916 once again with the same Jim Crow Southern Democratic support he had in 1912 along with a "solid blue" Western vote including the Rocky Mountain States, Plains States, and West Coast states. It is something of note, that he won the Presidency as a so called "Progressive" who never even once lost a Southern state in either election! He demonstrated his "progressive" credentials by mandating an eight hours/ day 6 day work week, prohibiting child labor, extending anti-trust legislation, proposing strict health and safety regulations for factory workers, and safeguarding female employees through legislation. Being a Blue State back in 1916 had an entirely different meaning than it has today. Here was a man who believed in Jim Crow racial segregation who somehow became President of Princeton University and Governor of New Jersey, and yet somehow he became Governor and President twice as a "Progressive". He campaigned for re-election in 1916 with the position that he was going to stay neutral in WW1 by not entering the war. (Look how that worked out.) He previewed the viciously racist movie "Birth of the Nation" in the White House in a special White House screening in February 1915 saying: <span face="arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-size: 16px;">"</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>It's like writing history with lightning.

Yet, people who rate Presidents overlook his fatal flaws and rate him as one of America's great Presidents. <b>For our purposes, what is important to remember is here was the first American President with a burning desire for Utopian perfection detailed by the prophets of Hebrew Scripture who wanted to achieve that perfection through totally secular means or in the language of the early 20th Century through "progressive" means.</b></span></span><span face="arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-size: 16px;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Ultimately, it was through "progressives" like Wilson that after the Failure of his League of Nations from his 14 points to enforce World Peace and Brotherhood, with the onset of WW2, the United Nations would be proposed in the ashes of WW2 with the following passage from Yishayahu (Isaiah) engraved on a wall near its entrance: </span></span><i> </i><span style="background-color: white; color: #202122;"><b style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: italic;">They shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">Of course these are beautiful </span></span><span style="color: #202122;">sentiments, but it is written with a totally secular moral intent, divorced from the words that precede it. When this Wall called the Ralph Bunche Wall was dedicated in 1948, the original sculptors did not even give credit to the Prophet Isaiah! It was rededicated in 1975 with the author's name, Isaiah, added as an afterthought! And G-d and His moral structure for the Universe was completely left out of the picture by omission, simply not including the whole quote from Isaiah 2:2-4</span></p><p> וְהָיָה בְּאַחֲרִית הַיָּמִים, נָכוֹן יִהְיֶה הַר בֵּית-יְהוָה בְּרֹאשׁ הֶהָרִים, וְנִשָּׂא, מִגְּבָעוֹת; וְנָהֲרוּ אֵלָיו, כָּל-הַגּוֹיִם.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>2 And it shall come to pass in the end of days, that the mountain of the LORD'S house shall be established as the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.</p><p>ג וְהָלְכוּ עַמִּים רַבִּים, וְאָמְרוּ לְכוּ וְנַעֲלֶה אֶל-הַר-יְהוָה אֶל-בֵּית אֱלֹהֵי יַעֲקֹב, וְיֹרֵנוּ מִדְּרָכָיו, וְנֵלְכָה בְּאֹרְחֹתָיו: כִּי מִצִּיּוֹן תֵּצֵא תוֹרָה, וּדְבַר-יְהוָה מִירוּשָׁלִָם.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>3 And many peoples shall go and say: '<b>Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and He will teach us of His ways, and we will walk in His paths.'

It is promoting one without G-d as the governing authority for Mankind. An international organization that decides on its own moral code for good and evil which promotes its own secular invectives against decent human beings in order to achieve world government, devoid of Divine Authority on our lives. It attempts to end the cycles of bloodshed throughout the entire history of Edom by including Biblical platitudes for world peace without obligating human beings to obedience to G-d's laws in order to achieve it. THAT is Woodrow Wilson's intent in a nutshell. He found the secular Western "solution" for all of Esav's Wars and Wanton violence for the previous millennia expressed by Biblical platitudes for World Peace without the acceptance of G-d's moral authority to achieve it. So in 1918, Esav "found the key" to end his perpetually violent ways, but unleashed himself from his obedience to G-d's other commandments which are supposed to be part and parcel of achieving the ultimate goal. </p><p>So when Edom finally found the key to world peace, he unleashed his path to destruction by Sexual Immorality in stages. 1/3rd of his devotees fell into degeneracy between 1918 and 1967 and 1/3rd, the middle third or the bulk of his devotees, fell into degeneracy between 1967 and 2016. By the end of 98 years, 2/3rds of the population in Western Civilization had fallen below Mem Tet Shaarei Tumah. In the first 49 years it was difficult to perceive because only the Leftist third of the population fell through the abyss over the course of those 49 years. 2/3rds at least of American Civilization remained relatively spiritually wholesome during the first 49 year deterioration between 1918 and 1967. Those who engaged in wild orgies in the Roaring 20s, did so behind ivy covered walls often surrounding ivy covered mansions. They did so to isolate themselves from the 2/3rds of American culture that would at that time in the 1920s still reject their wild behaviors. Yes, we saw those dress lengths from before WW1 at the beach go from down to the ankles to "Betty Grable" swimsuits in the 1940s and 1950s. So the culture was negatively affected in its mores because of the degeneracy of the Roaring 20s, but only the far leftist third fell through the floor all the way until 1967. But the Summer of Promiscuity on the lawn of Goldengate (50th Gate) Park in San Francisco changed all that. <b>With the Summer of Promiscuity in the Summer of 1967 which began in the very same week as the 6 Day War</b>, the middle third of the Culture of Western Civilization, over the course of the next 49 years, fell through the floor of the 49th Level of Impurity by the Summer of 2016. The last straw was on 26th of June of 2015 when the US Supreme Court in a 5 to 4 decision forced homosexual marriage contracts on all 50 States, even against States that were repulsed by such contracts! Three of the five Justices in the Majority were Erev Rav Leftist Jews. As luck would have it, in a quirk of fate, the Triple Crown winner in horse racing from 3 weeks earlier at the Belmont Stakes was American Pharaoh, signifying America's fall until the 49th level of impurity up until that Supreme Court decision in June of 2015. It was from that point that the formerly exceptional country known as the United States would lose its majority in support of basic human sanctity with the Pulse Night Club terrorist attack in Orlando, FL taking place one year later in June 2016 in which the 49 homosexuals were murdered by Omar Mateen (from Mem Tet to Nun). Between June 2015 and June 2016, America and the West in general fell into 2/3rds Reprobate status. 2/3rds of its citizens became spiritual reprobates, alive in Olam HaZeh but not in the World to Come.</p><p><b>2. It took 98 years, but in the Summer of 2016, Malkhut Edom reached the second condition conceptually described by our prophets and sages that tells us that we are truly at the End of Olam HaZeh from Zecharia 13:8- 9:</b></p><p> וְהָיָה בְכָל-הָאָרֶץ, נְאֻם-יְהוָה, פִּי-שְׁנַיִם בָּהּ, יִכָּרְתוּ יִגְוָעוּ; וְהַשְּׁלִשִׁית, יִוָּתֶר בָּהּ.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>8 <b>And it shall come to pass, that in all the earth, saith the LORD, two parts (out of three) therein shall be cut off and die; but the (final) third shall be left therein.</b></p><p>ט וְהֵבֵאתִי אֶת-הַשְּׁלִשִׁית, בָּאֵשׁ, וּצְרַפְתִּים כִּצְרֹף אֶת-הַכֶּסֶף, וּבְחַנְתִּים כִּבְחֹן אֶת-הַזָּהָב; הוּא יִקְרָא בִשְׁמִי, וַאֲנִי אֶעֱנֶה אֹתוֹ--אָמַרְתִּי עַמִּי הוּא, וְהוּא יֹאמַר יְהוָה אֱלֹהָי. {פ}<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>9 And I will bring this (final) third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried; they shall call on My name, and I will answer them; I will say: 'It is My people', and they shall say: 'The LORD is my God.' <b>This is important to know because this is the most important condition that Mashiach must come.... or else. G-d is not going to allow His world to be spiritually polluted any further than this condition of 2/3rds Reprobate set down by Zecharia 13.</b></p><p><b>3. The final concept that must be integrated into this picture to understand the very End comes from last weeks parshah Shlach Lecha</b> when the Spies were sent to spy out the Land for their own benefit, something that turned out to be the biggest fashlah in all of Jewish history. Yet, this is what it says in BaMidbar 13: 21-22</p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;"> וַיַּעֲלוּ, וַיָּתֻרוּ אֶת-הָאָרֶץ, מִמִּדְבַּר-צִן עַד-רְחֹב, לְבֹא חֲמָת.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>21 So they went up, and spied out the land from the wilderness of Zin unto Rehob, at the entrance to Hamath.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">כב וַיַּעֲלוּ בַנֶּגֶב, וַיָּבֹא עַד-חֶבְרוֹן, וְשָׁם אֲחִימַן שֵׁשַׁי וְתַלְמַי, יְלִידֵי הָעֲנָק; וְחֶבְרוֹן, שֶׁבַע שָׁנִים נִבְנְתָה, לִפְנֵי, צֹעַן מִצְרָיִם.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>22 And they went up into the South, and came unto Hebron; and Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were there.--<b>Now Hebron was built seven years before Tzo'an in Egypt.</b></span></p><p>That last sentence in verse 22 is a real curiosity. It seems disconnected from the entire narrative of the journey of the spies when they spied out the Land for 40 days. We are told a fact about Chevron when the spies arrive there that Chevron was built 7 years before Tzo'an was in Mitzra'im. Very curious. Rashi says that this verse shows that Chevron was 7 times greater in purity, physical bounty, and sanctity than Tzo'an in Egypt was in impurity, physical bounty, and debauchery. That is a nice pshat, but it is missing some depth. The question that immediately comes to mind is why is this distinction in greatness expressed in YEARS? After years of thought about this, I would like to introduce a Chiddush. We are being told in the Torah about two polar opposites, both created almost at the same time. Tzo'an was where the Pharaohs of the Old Kingdom sat in Mitzraim. We can argue the point if the Pharaohs of the Exodus were from the Old Kingdom or not, but there is a lot of evidence that Yosef was the Great Imhotep, the vizier of Djoser who guided that Pharaoh through the pitfalls of a seven year famine and who lived until the "ripe old age of 110". Of course Egyptologists say that Djoser ruled according to their calculations 900 years before Seder Olam dating for the Exodus, but perhaps they are simply dead wrong? <b> Assuming the possibility that Moshe and Aharon performed the 10 plagues before a Pharaoh from the Old Kingdom in this city called Tzo'an (Tanis in Greek) which was an actual capital of ancient Egypt during the 21st and 22nd dynasties of the New Kingdom, then it was specifically in Tzo'an that Israel had to be redeemed in the last instant before falling below the 49th level of impurity.</b> On the issue of how a city that was the Capital of Mitzraim during the New Kingdom was actually the City of the Pharaohs of the Old Kingdom, you will need to ask someone more expert than I am. Sorry, Egyptology is not my full fledged expertise. But let us assume that the Torah is telling us that at the time that Tzoan was founded to eventually be the place where Israel fell almost below the 49th level of impurity, the City of Chevron had only been founded seven years before. It is the City of Chevron that even precedes Yerushalayim to the 50th Gate of Sanctity, often called Sha'ar HaNun when Mashiach comes. It explains that when King David became king, he first ruled in Chevron for 7 years before moving his capital to Ir David in Yerushalayim. It explains why Qorbanot, The qorban tamid, could not be offered in the Temple in Yerushalayim until the sun had risen in Chevron about two minutes after the sun had already risen in Yerushalayim. And as we all know, the Avot did mitzvot bein Adam leChaveiro for their own sake in Chevron for most of the days of their lives in Eretz Yisrael while they only occasionally made pilgrimages to Yerushalayim on really special occasions to keep commandments bein Adam leMakom such as Akeidat Yitzchak or to tithe to MelkhiTzedeq after Avraham rescued Lot from the 4 kings or when Ya'akov had his dream of a ladder that went to Heaven over Beit El, but he somehow was immediately transported to the Temple Mount. Yes, there were these occasions, but the everyday lives of the Avot were either in Beer Sheva or Chevron. And when it came time to do the ultimate bein Adam LeChaveiro of burying the Dead, a Chessed shel Emeth, the mitzvah was done in Chevron. It is into this mileau that we are told that the City that would first rise to the 50th Gate of Sanctity when Mashiach comes was built 7 years before the City that most represented the fall into the 50th level of debauchery. And from this we learn a very deep spiritual concept. <b> At the End of Days when Mashiach comes b'itah, if it is to be b'itah, Mashiach could come b'itah Achishena 7 years before 2/3rds of Mankind falls into the spiritual Garbage dump. </b>We would be given a Test during the Shmittah cycle leading up to the 7th year beforehand. If we had passed the test, Mashiach could have come by passing a basic test in human decency seven years BEFORE 2/3rds of Mankind reached the quicksand below Mem Tet Shaarei Tumah. This is the case because the world as a whole b'itah can never be more than 6 years out of spiritual balance even on the side of positivity and purity. Purity can never be more than six years out of balance with complete spiritual impurity. So it is no accident that the seven year cycle ending seven years before the Summer of 2016 (5776) was the Gog W. Bush Jr. son of Gog Bush Sr.. Shmittah cycle from 5762 until 5769 that is from Hoshana Rabbah of the Motzei Shmittah year 5762 until Hoshana Rabbah of the Motzei Shmittah year 5769. In the middle of that cycle in 5765 came the test of basic human decency which we failed called the evacuation of Gush Qatif whose failure we have recounted countless times on this blog. Frankly, I do not want to review the epic failure at this time from 15 years ago except to say that in this 6th year of this Shmittah cycle the chickens or consequences of that evacuation have finally come home to roost. It is at this point, where a Kal veChomer needs to be introduced, maybe the most important "even the more so" for this Final Redemption. <b> If the world cannot be out of balance even on the side of positivity and goodness more than 6 years b'itah Achishena, EVEN THE MORE SO on the side of negativity and Tumah, the world cannot be out of balance more than 6 years!!</b> <b> In short, since the Redemption did not come by the end of the Gog W. Bush Jr. Shmittah cycle in 5769 because of our outlandish behavior in 5765, 2/3rds of humanity fell off the spiritual cliff by the Summer of 5776 (2016). </b> So for the last 6 years starting in the Summer of 5775 when we were at the 49th level of impurity about to fall off the Cliff, the entire world or all of humanity is in a severe spiritual deficit. <b>The last 6 years, the entire World is like a spiritual Mad Max movie, the first 6 years of a truly Dystopian Shmittah cycle.</b> <b> It is in the 7th year of this degenerate cycle that through Divine justice, G-d Himself brings the entire world back into balance, not just by balancing off the 7th year with equal purity against the forces of darkness that have characterized the last 6 years. But through Divine Justice the Forces of Purity must be at least 6 fold greater than the deficit for each year of the previous 6 years!</b> <b>In short in the Shmittah year 5782, Purity must come roaring back 6 fold to counter the deficit for the last 6 years plus an additional measure to counter the deficit between Evil and Good in the Shmittah year itself. That is the 7 fold magnification in Purity over Impurity that Rashi was talking about! </b> That, b'itah, will be the nature of Divine Judgement in this coming Shmittah year against the nations that seek our destruction! At this stage of degeneracy of Mankind, it is almost impossible to expect a rectification for Mashiach to come in another way... still praying for Achishena every day.</p><p>To be honest, there are several more concepts that need to be discussed such as the bending of the Tzadee Tzofit in MaNTzPaKh in the last one year and 9 months of this Shmittah cycle starting from when Yehonatan Pollard, Mashiach ben Ephraim, landed in Tzion on the 15th of Tevet 5781, but it is getting very late. Hint: It is Mashiach ben Ephraim ben Yosef who puts the bent Tzadee in the word Tzion (ציון) by adding the concept of the Tzaddiq to Yawan (יון). This explains why our judgement here in Israel during the 6th year had to begin in the Shimon HaTzaddiq neighborhood with the eviction of those four Arab Squatter families, for it was Shimon HaTzaddiq who welcomed Alexander the Great to Yerushalayim who in real actuality added the Tzaddiq to Yawan! And it is extremely important that in the 7th year, Israel not be judged harshly in the same Cheshbon as the Umot HaOlam will be held in account. So our suffering here MUST be intense in the 6th year so that we will not be figured in with the nations of the world in the 7th year. So the judgements in the last trimester of the nine months in the 6th year will seem very acute and intense here in Eretz Yisrael so that the 7th year hopefully beginning during Sukkot will not lead to our destruction. And just like it says in Yishaiyahu 34:8, <b>the entire year of 5782 will be a year of recompense for the Cause of Tzion!</b> And this very long post needs to temporarily end at this point to be continued at a later date. I am publishing it now. </p>Dov Bar-Leibhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15915682856620634130noreply@blogger.com351tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10578166.post-29123088744086102252021-05-20T20:09:00.001+03:002021-05-21T00:26:19.767+03:003333 Years and Counting Since Matan Torah<p> To be honest, I was writing a post almost three weeks ago before Lag b'Omer. I was going to finish it on Lag b'Omer (the 33rd day of the Counting of the Omer) when that horrible tragedy happened in Meron in which the Police seemed to have engaged in Gross Negligence by closing the Exit spigot from the Toldot Aharon bonfire courtyard. This is not to say that there were way too many people in the Chatzer for the space that was provided, and during all these years, more exits should have been built in preparation for the parabolically expanding crowd numbers. That part was NOT the fault of the Police. But the Police heard the cries of people trying to leave that their closing the one exit for what is still an unknown reason was going to lead to a Mass-Crushing or a Mass-Trampling event which is PRECISELY what occurred. Why did they not let the burgeoning crowds leave? You will have to ask the Police who were involved, or as is usually the case in this country the foxes who guard the chicken coops will be investigating themselves on why they behaved as they did. But enough of this. There are plenty of other blogs and websites who are calling the behavior of the Police into serious question and rightly so. On a spiritual level, we are most likely (not absolutely) nearing the end of the fifth month of the infamous 9 months during which Raw Evil has encircled the Globe between the Middle or 15th of Tevet and Hoshana Rabbah which is almost invariably 271 days of Pregnancy. One might count the 9 months from the Day that Trump left the Presidency on the 20th of January (7th of Shvat 5781), but notice that that date is over 3 weeks AFTER the 15th of Tevet. The Seminal event that seems to have happened on the 15th of Tevet at 4am is the landing in Eretz Yisrael of the 6th and final Mashiach ben Yosef (Yehonatan Pollard and his wife Esther), who is the actual Tor in Sefer Kol HaTor who will be Mashiach ben David's General against Amaleq when that time arrives. I am speaking of the Tor (turtledove) which survives the long night of the Covenant Between the Parts (Gen 15:9- 10) without being cut in half and is set free at dawn. The other bird that is not cut in two is a Gozal which Chaza"l tell us is a Ben Yonah (a male Dove). That other bird represents Mashiach ben David. In short, both birds (who have been imprisoned with ankle bracelets around one of their legs) have those ankle bracelets removed at Sunrise on the Redemption. So since the 6th and final Mashiach ben Yosef who is really Mashiach ben Ephraim from the Yalkut Shimoni (the previous post) has finally come home to Tzion a free man in the 6th year or the Yesod year of this Shmittah cycle, Mashiach ben David is surely coming by either Sukkot or Shavuot of the Motzei Shmittah year 5783. To be honest because of the evidence of how things have transpired since the first and second weeks in June 1967 and again in 2016, I am not sure if Ben David comes b'itah during Sukkot or during Shavuot of the same year 5783. Of course, he can come Achishena as early as a minute from now, but B'itah B'itah he is coming in this coming Motzei Shmittah year. That is the Good news. Let me briefly explain why this time it is b'itah even though I have explained this at length in previous posts. And everything that is happening right now has to do with final tikunnim in the 6th year of the cycle because after this pivotal coming Yom Kippur of the Shmittah year 5782, the entire World is going into serious end of days final judgement for its outrageous rebellion against G-d. According to Zecharia 13, two thirds of Mankind or 5 billion people may die in the Shmittah year. The Vilna Gaon says 1/3 will die (2.5 billion) while 2.5 billion more will suffer from the serious plague of Radiation sickness or the effect of a nuclear blast on the human body described in Zecharia 14. So, HaShem wants our Teshuvah IN ADVANCE of this pivotal coming Yom Kippur for our collective and individual crimes since the founding of the State of Israel so that Klal Yisrael in Eretz Yisrael need not suffer death nor suffer from the plague of Zecharia 14 in the Sabbatical year when the nations of the world will not be so lucky! So this situation in Israel that we are in now is a blessing, not a curse. The trials and tribulations of this present War are 100% in line with repairing our mistakes and sins as Klal Yisrael in Eretz Yisrael and amongst Jews in Chu"l who love Eretz Yisrael and Klal Yisrael's ingathering once again in Eretz Yisrael. We are all part of this, and with four months to go until Yom Kippur 5782, we better get our Act together! </p><p>Continuing to write this post. I am posting now anyway in order for people to start commenting while I continue to write this post. Our Electricity has been very unstable this evening. I have no idea if our electricity will just end at any moment for the night because of the War or because we are simply having frequent outages right now. So I am posting this limited segment now. Please start commenting if you want while I continue writing. </p><p><br /></p>Dov Bar-Leibhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15915682856620634130noreply@blogger.com119tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10578166.post-41940707925227497182020-12-01T02:14:00.012+02:002020-12-04T06:41:13.017+02:00The Suffering and the Redemption of Mashiach ben Ephraim<p> 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= (<i>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</i>). 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. <i>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.</i> 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. </p><p>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 <a href="https://hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=9758&st=&pgnum=122&hilite=" target="_blank">Yalkut Shimoni, Yishayahu 60, Remez 499</a> 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. </p><p>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.</p><p><b>1. Ingathering of the Exiles.</b> 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 (<b>Zikhron Yaakov)</b>. <b>וְזָכַרְתִּי, אֶת-בְּרִיתִי יַעֲקוֹב</b>; וְאַף אֶת-בְּרִיתִי יִצְחָק וְאַף אֶת-בְּרִיתִי אַבְרָהָם, אֶזְכֹּר--וְהָאָרֶץ אֶזְכֹּר.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>42 then will I <b>Remember</b> My covenant with <b>Ya'akov</b>, and also My covenant with Isaac, and also My covenant with Abraham will I remember; and I will remember the land. </p><p>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. </p><p>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<a href="http://yearsofawe.blogspot.com/2015/04/the-yichus-of-last-mashiach-ben-yosef.html" target="_blank"> the fifth MBY, Bibi Netanyahu's final fate hangs in the balance.</a> 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.)</p><p><b>2.</b> Second major Role: <b>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.</b> 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, </p><p>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. <b>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!! </b>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. <b>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! </b>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. </p><p><b>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.</b> 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:</p><p>א וַיִּסְעוּ, מֵאֵילִם, וַיָּבֹאוּ כָּל-עֲדַת בְּנֵי-יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶל-מִדְבַּר-סִין, אֲשֶׁר בֵּין-אֵילִם וּבֵין סִינָי--בַּחֲמִשָּׁה עָשָׂר יוֹם לַחֹדֶשׁ הַשֵּׁנִי, לְצֵאתָם מֵאֶרֶץ מִצְרָיִם.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>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)</p><p>ב וילינו (וַיִּלּוֹנוּ) כָּל-עֲדַת בְּנֵי-יִשְׂרָאֵל, עַל-מֹשֶׁה וְעַל-אַהֲרֹן--בַּמִּדְבָּר.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>2 And the whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron in the wilderness;</p><p>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}<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>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}</p><p>ד וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה אֶל-מֹשֶׁה, הִנְנִי מַמְטִיר לָכֶם לֶחֶם מִן-הַשָּׁמָיִם; וְיָצָא הָעָם וְלָקְטוּ דְּבַר-יוֹם בְּיוֹמוֹ, לְמַעַן אֲנַסֶּנּוּ הֲיֵלֵךְ בְּתוֹרָתִי אִם-לֹא.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>4 Then said the LORD unto Moses: '<b>Behold, I will cause to rain bread from heaven for you</b>; 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.</p><p>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. <a href="https://tradingeconomics.com/israel/currency" target="_blank">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> 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. <b>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.</b> 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.</p><p><b>4. The Matrilineal Power to Destroy Amaleq in the World.</b> 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: <b> כִּי-מָחֹה אֶמְחֶה אֶת-זֵכֶר עֲמָלֵק,</b> מִתַּחַת הַשָּׁמָיִם.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>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 <b>remembrance of Amalek</b> from under heaven.'</p><p>and in Devarim 25 וְהָיָה בְּהָנִיחַ יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ לְךָ מִכָּל-אֹיְבֶיךָ מִסָּבִיב, בָּאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר יְהוָה-אֱלֹהֶיךָ נֹתֵן לְךָ נַחֲלָה לְרִשְׁתָּהּ--<b>תִּמְחֶה אֶת-זֵכֶר עֲמָלֵק, מִתַּחַת הַשָּׁמָיִם</b>; לֹא, תִּשְׁכָּח. {פ}<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>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<b> remembrance of Amalek</b> from under heaven; thou shalt not forget. </p><p>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. </p><p>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! </p><p>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. <b> 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.</b></p><p>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. <span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">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. </span></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit;">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.</span></p><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I was finally convinced that Pollard was that man when John Kerry asked for 400 murderers from Israeli jails in 2014 at the end of 9 months of negotiations with the Invented people. 3x 26 murderers had already been released. Bibi told Kerry that he will release the last 26 if America released Pollard in 2014 just before Pesach. Kerry immediately said that Israel had to release the 26 already promised plus exactly 400 more men. The only one of Yaakov's sons who was keneged Esav's Ayin Ra and his 400 men was Yoseph. I knew right then and there that Pollard was that man.

The biggest issue in states like Texas and Georgia is how fast can they possibly reopen their severely damaged economies, not about how 1700 people died in New York nursing homes while Andrew Cuomo himself wrote the rules condemning those elderly to death. I tried to warn Orthodox Jews in New York, that there is a problem with remaining there to make parnassah when you live behind enemy lines. At least for your own safety, live in G-d friendlier states like Texas or Tennessee (where there are existing Torah communities). For G-d's sake leave those East Coast cesspools. Your communities are NOT protected during this final period of GogUMagog if you live in a majority Reshayim State, that is where the majority of voters in your state are outright Reshayim who vote to divide Eretz Yisrael. From this present state of affairs from this plague of Dever that should be plainly obvious. And make Aliyah as communities bringing the Rich, Middle class, and the Poor together. Do not leave poor people behind.</span></span></div>

Dov Bar-Leibhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15915682856620634130noreply@blogger.com461tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10578166.post-32056727222061611982020-02-26T22:36:00.001+02:002020-02-26T22:43:15.237+02:00The End of QeReN Qayemet in Olam HaZehFour years ago during Shevat I wrote the following post: <a href="http://yearsofawe.blogspot.com/2016/01/is-this-dawning-of-age-of-water-bucket.html" target="_blank"> Is this the Dawning of the Age of the Water Bucket?</a> . 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.<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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!<br />
<br />
So in the above linked post, I made a number of points. Please read that post.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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!<br />
<br />
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 <b>CORONA</b>. Just to make in eminently clear, notice that NOT ONLY is the word <b>QeReN</b> etymologically the source of the word <b>CoRoNa</b>, <b>IT HAS THE EXACT SAME MEANING AS CORONA! </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
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 <b>Chinese New Year</b>. And on that very day, they announced the deadly and dangerous consequences of the CoronaVirus to the world!<br />
<br />
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%.<br />
But, because of its 1. very long incubation and quarantine period of 14 to 24 days<br />
2. its wildly high R naught contagious factor of 3 to 6.5<br />
3. its asymptomatic contagious transmission for up to 7 days before symptoms even develop<br />
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<br />
5. and its very lengthy disease phase of 10 days to over 2 weeks<br />
<br />
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:<br />
וְגַם-עֵרֶב רַב, עָלָה אִתָּם, וְצֹאן וּבָקָר, מִקְנֶה כָּבֵד מְאֹד.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>38 <b>And a mixed multitude (The Erev Rav) went up also with them; and flocks, and herds, even very much cattle.</b> 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!<br />

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:<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: blue;"><i style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, "Palatino Linotype", Palatino, serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;">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. </i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "utopia" , "palatino linotype" , "palatino" , serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;">Tractate Sanhedrin (98a).</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: blue;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "utopia" , "palatino linotype" , "palatino" , serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;"><br /></span></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
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. <i>(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). </i>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). </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
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.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
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.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
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. <a href="https://yearsofawe.blogspot.com/2015/04/the-yichus-of-last-mashiach-ben-yosef.html" target="_blank"> Bibi has all three yichus points to his name. He IS that leader.</a> 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. <b>On that note, I introduce to you, his Attorney during those dark months, Itamar ben Gvir.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">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.</span></div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
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.</div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
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.</div>

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:<br />
<br />
לֹא-יָסוּר שֵׁבֶט מִיהוּדָה, וּמְחֹקֵק מִבֵּין רַגְלָיו, עַד כִּי-יָבֹא שִׁילֹה, וְלוֹ יִקְּהַת עַמִּים.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>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.<br />
יא אֹסְרִי לַגֶּפֶן עִירֹה, וְלַשֹּׂרֵקָה בְּנִי אֲתֹנוֹ; כִּבֵּס בַּיַּיִן לְבֻשׁוֹ, וּבְדַם-עֲנָבִים סוּתֹה.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>11 Binding his foal (or his City<yerushalayim>) 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;</yerushalayim><br />
יב חַכְלִילִי עֵינַיִם, מִיָּיִן; וּלְבֶן-שִׁנַּיִם, מֵחָלָב. {פ}<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>12 His eyes shall be red with wine, and his teeth white with milk.<br />
<br />
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.<br />

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

<br />
<span style="color: #1d2129;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">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.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #1d2129;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span><span style="color: #1d2129;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>UPDATE</b>: 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:</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #1d2129;">ה וּלְעֵבֶר יֻלַּד, שְׁנֵי בָנִים: שֵׁם הָאֶחָד פֶּלֶג, כִּי בְיָמָיו נִפְלְגָה הָאָרֶץ, וְשֵׁם אָחִיו, יָקְטָן.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>25 <b>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.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #1d2129;">כו וְיָקְטָן יָלַד, אֶת-אַלְמוֹדָד וְאֶת-שָׁלֶף, וְאֶת-חֲצַרְמָוֶת, וְאֶת-יָרַח.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>26 And Yoktan begot Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah;</span><br />
<span style="color: #1d2129;">כז וְאֶת-הֲדוֹרָם וְאֶת-אוּזָל, וְאֶת-דִּקְלָה.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>27 and Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah;</span><br />
<span style="color: #1d2129;">כח וְאֶת-עוֹבָל וְאֶת-אֲבִימָאֵל, וְאֶת-שְׁבָא.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>28 and Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba;</span><br />
<span style="color: #1d2129;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #1d2129;">כט וְאֶת-אוֹפִר וְאֶת-חֲוִילָה, וְאֶת-יוֹבָב; כָּל-אֵלֶּה, בְּנֵי יָקְטָן.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>29 <b>and Ophir,</b> and Havilah, and Jobab; all these were the sons of Yoktan.</span><br />
<span style="color: #1d2129;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #1d2129;">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. </span>Dov Bar-Leibhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15915682856620634130noreply@blogger.com347tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10578166.post-27477091179735613292018-02-04T22:52:00.001+02:002018-02-04T23:24:52.814+02:00A Pence for My Thoughts: A Hint About the Face of G-d at the End of Days.<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #202020;">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:</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #202020;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #202020;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #202020;">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).</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #202020;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #202020;">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 (</span><i style="background-color: white; color: #202020;">The Holocaust, a very deep wound resulting from a Churban at the end of the dark night just before Alot HaShachar. </i></span><i style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: inherit;">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.</i><span style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: inherit;">), as he wrestled with him.</span><br />

<div>
<span style="color: #202020;"><span style="background-color: white;">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. <b>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.</b> 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. </span></span></div>

<div>
<span style="color: #202020;"><span style="background-color: white;">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, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9QRI8vqD_Ss">including this version by Mordechai ben David.</a> 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. </span></span></div>

<br />
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!<br />

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 <a href="https://halakhah.com/pdf/moed/Yoma.pdf">Halakhah.com</a>:<br />
<br />
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 <b>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.</b>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. <b>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</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
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. <b>In this case he basically repeats himself by saying the same thing a different way! </b> 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.<br />
<br />
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 <b>in the 5777th pasuk of the Torah itself</b>, Rav Levi Saadia Nahmani's favorite pasuk when dealing with N. Korea (Deut. 32:22):<br />
<br />
כִּי-אֵשׁ קָדְחָה בְאַפִּי, {ר} וַתִּיקַד עַד-שְׁאוֹל תַּחְתִּית; {ס} וַתֹּאכַל אֶרֶץ וִיבֻלָהּ, {ר} וַתְּלַהֵט מוֹסְדֵי הָרִים. {ס<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>22 For a fire is kindled in My nostril, and burns like a drill unto the depths of the nether-world (Sheoul), <b>and devoureth the earth with her produce, and setteth ablaze the foundations of the mountains.</b><br />
<br />
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 <span style="font-family: inherit;">States </span>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.<br />
<br />
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:<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> <span style="background-color: rgba(255 , 255 , 255 , 0.824); color: #333333; font-family: "pt sans" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;">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.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">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:.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">And through Your servants, the Prophets, the following is written:</span></div>
<div style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.824); box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "PT Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1. כָּל-יֹשְׁבֵי תֵבֵל, וְשֹׁכְנֵי אָרֶץ, כִּנְשֹׂא-נֵס הָרִים תִּרְאוּ, וְכִתְקֹעַ שׁוֹפָר תִּשְׁמָעוּ.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />(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.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.824); box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "PT Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">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.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.824); box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "PT Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 10px;">

<span style="font-size: large;">(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.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">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.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Finally, the last Shofar blast in the trio of prophetic shofar blasts heralding the coming of Mashiach</span></div>
<div style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.824); box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "PT Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 10px;">

<span style="font-size: large;">(Zecharia 9:14)<b> And HaShem was seen above them (watching our misery under the thumb of the Erev Rav), and His arrow will go forth like lightning.

<span style="font-size: large;">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. </span></div>

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.:<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
<div class="gmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: large;">
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.</div>

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. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RlA18K4DTys">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. </a> 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. </div>

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. </div>

<span style="font-family: "tahoma" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">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 (</span><span style="color: #202020;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">יִתְלוֹנָן)</span></span><span style="font-family: "tahoma" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"> 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. </span></div>

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: <a href="http://yearsofawe.blogspot.co.il/2015/06/meidads-prophesy-texas-land-of-gogs.html">Meidad's Prophesy in the Camp</a> <br />
<br />
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. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">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.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">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. </span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">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. <b>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!!!!! </b></span></span><br />

<i><span style="font-family: inherit;">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. </span></i></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; margin-bottom: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">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.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">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.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">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. <b>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</b></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>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.</b></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; display: inline; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>And Ya'akov lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, ESAV CAME AND WITH HIM 400 MEN! Case closed.</b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><b><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></b></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: #f6f7f9; color: #1d2129;">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. </span><span style="background-color: #f6f7f9; color: #1d2129;">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. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: #f6f7f9; color: #1d2129;">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, <a href="http://yearsofawe.blogspot.co.il/2005/11/wrinkle-in-time-weirdest-election-in.html">the closest and weirdest election in Americ</a></span><span style="background-color: #f6f7f9; color: #1d2129;"><a href="http://yearsofawe.blogspot.co.il/2005/11/wrinkle-in-time-weirdest-election-in.html">an history.</a> 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.

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 <a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3169/824/1600/Arizal%20timeline%20and%20Names%20of%20G-d.jpg">this chart</a> 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):<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> וְאִם-מִזְבַּח אֲבָנִים תַּעֲשֶׂה-לִּי, לֹא-תִבְנֶה אֶתְהֶן גָּזִית: כִּי חַרְבְּךָ הֵנַפְתָּ עָלֶיהָ, וַתְּחַלְלֶהָ.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>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.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">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.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
וְהָיָה, בְּעָבְרְכֶם אֶת-הַיַּרְדֵּן, תָּקִימוּ אֶת-הָאֲבָנִים הָאֵלֶּה אֲשֶׁר אָנֹכִי מְצַוֶּה אֶתְכֶם הַיּוֹם, בְּהַר עֵיבָל; וְשַׂדְתָּ אוֹתָם, בַּשִּׂיד.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>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).<br />
ה וּבָנִיתָ שָּׁם מִזְבֵּחַ, לַיהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ: מִזְבַּח אֲבָנִים, לֹא-תָנִיף עֲלֵיהֶם בַּרְזֶל.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>5 And there shalt thou build an altar unto the LORD thy God, <b>an altar of stones; thou shalt lift up no iron tool upon them.</b><br />
<br />
ו אֲבָנִים שְׁלֵמוֹת תִּבְנֶה, אֶת-מִזְבַּח יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ; וְהַעֲלִיתָ עָלָיו עוֹלֹת, לַיהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>6 <b>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.</b><br />
<br />
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<br />
<br />
וַיֹּאמֶר, כִּי-יָד עַל-<b>כֵּס יָהּ</b>, מִלְחָמָה לַיהוָה, בַּעֲמָלֵק--מִדֹּר, דֹּר. {פ}<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>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 כס<b>א</b> is spelled without an <b>Aleph</b>, and the Name of HaShem is spelled without <b>a Vav and a Final Hey</b>. Together missing from His Throne is His Eternal Desire to dwell in our midst which is the word Ivah spelled <b>אוה</b>. As it says in Psalm 132:<br />
<br />
בַּעֲבוּר, דָּוִד עַבְדֶּךָ-- אַל-תָּשֵׁב, פְּנֵי מְשִׁיחֶךָ.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>10 For Thy servant David's sake turn not away the face of Thine anointed.<br />
יא נִשְׁבַּע-יְהוָה, לְדָוִד אֱמֶת-- לֹא-יָשׁוּב מִמֶּנָּה:<br />
מִפְּרִי בִטְנְךָ-- אָשִׁית, לְכִסֵּא-לָךְ.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>11 The LORD swore unto David in truth; He will not turn back from it: {N}<br />
'Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne.<br />
יב אִם-יִשְׁמְרוּ בָנֶיךָ, בְּרִיתִי-- וְעֵדֹתִי זוֹ, אֲלַמְּדֵם:<br />
גַּם-בְּנֵיהֶם עֲדֵי-עַד-- יֵשְׁבוּ, לְכִסֵּא-לָךְ.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>12 If thy children keep My covenant and My testimony that I shall teach them, {N}<br />
their children also for ever shall sit upon thy throne.'<br />
<b>יג כִּי-בָחַר יְהוָה בְּצִיּוֹן; אִוָּהּ, לְמוֹשָׁב לוֹ.</b><span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>13 For the LORD hath chosen Zion; He hath desired it for His habitation:<br />
יד זֹאת-מְנוּחָתִי עֲדֵי-עַד: פֹּה-אֵשֵׁב, כִּי אִוִּתִיהָ.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>14 'This is My resting-place for ever; here will I dwell; for I have desired it.<br />
<br />
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). <b>Notice from the spelling above, Aleph Vav Hey do not appear consecutively during those 72 days. </b> 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.<br />
<br />
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 <b>Aleph Vav</b> (13) and <b>Hey</b> Yud (15). Notice that consecutively we see the <b>Ivah</b> that HaShem desires to dwell in the lowest world Olam HaAsiyah on the Temple Mount. <b>Now when were those twelve days since Aleph Vav Hey is Gematriah 12? </b> Well the first Vav in Vav Aleph Vav is (6, from the 12th of Tamuz until the 17th of Tamuz. The <b>Aleph Vav Hey</b> (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. <br />
<br />
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. <b>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!!</b><br />

But HaShem's entreaties not only went unanswered. He was utterly spurned. <b> And unlike anytime before in history except for the Generation of the Flood, His Wrath will now be felt by the entire World.

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. <a href="http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/north-korea-us-donald-trump-guam-strike-nuclear-missile-kim-jong-un-a7883516.html">Then Donald Trump issued his "Fire and Fury like the World has never Seen" remarks before what appeared to be a Cabinet meeting. </a> And now in retaliation, <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/aug/09/north-korea-us-airbase-guam-trump-fire-fury">North Korea just threatened the entire island territory of Guam and Andersen AirForce Base </a>by saying that "The KPA strategic force is now carefully examining the operational plan for making <b>an enveloping fire</b> 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."<br />
<br />
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:<br />
<br />

Just as it was with Avraham and Yitzchak with the ancient Philistines. The first Abdullah was assassinated either at Al Aksa or the Golden Dome in the early 1950s because he wanted to make Peace with Israel. The state of Israel was born in 1948 just as Avraham had been born in 1948 from Adam's sin. The second "Abdullah" was certifiably insane so that his son Hussein, the 3rd</span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; display: inline;"> Avimelech became king for a long long reign. Eventually after the 6 Day War he repented and signed a peace treaty with Yitzchak....Yitzchak Rabin just as Yitzchak Avinu signed a second peace treaty with the 2nd or 3rd Avimelech in the Torah. Yet this Avimelech Peace Treaty with the Avot was only for three generations of Avimelech. Look at the Torah to see what was pledged with Avraham. So now with the fourth Abdullah/Avimelech the Peace Treaty is null and void.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; display: inline;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; display: inline;"><span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: inherit;">This is of course my greatest hope. Yet, we have a Linguine Spined Prime Minister who might make this post obsolete by sunrise on the 2nd of Av. As it should be obvious to the world, he has NO Emunah or Bitachon with which G-d could potentially strengthen his backbone because frankly, Bibi has no backbone to speak of unless you think that a wet noodle has a backbone. The Caver in Chief has made a career for the last 20 to 25 years out of caving before pressure. He will not lead Israel into battle against the forces of evil unless HaShem plays tricks on him forcing him to stand strong or literally lose his life for being a coward. When the Malbim and others postulated that the last PM of the lowly pre-Messianic State of Israel prophesied in Zecharia 12 would have the precise Yichus of Bibi Netanyahu (which he does, believe it or not) and would be Mashiach ben Yosef, the PM pierced with a </span><span style="color: #1d2129;">dagger</span><span style="color: #1d2129;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> by Armilus at the Gateway to Yerushalayim, they likely had not met a member of the secular Judenrat like Bibi. Yichus and all he is about as low as you can get...., until you start to examine his competition in Labor and Yesh Atid. It seems to me that G-d is going to have to do it Himself without Bibi </span>providing<span style="font-family: inherit;"> the "stirring from below" since the one posing as Mashiach ben Yosef as PM is a poor excuse for a leader even if he is 1000 times LESS poor than the electable alternatives. ... End of Rant.</span></span></span><br />
<span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; display: inline;"><span style="color: #1d2129;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; display: inline;"><span style="color: #1d2129;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">So we all might ask, Why isn't Avimelekh in Gaza near the Gerar Wadi as he was in ancient times? Why is Avimelekh in Jordan? Well for this we need that commentary by the Targun Yonatan ben Uziel. We know from his peirush on Devarim 34: 1-3, that the Pshat is that Moshe saw closest to him while he stood on Mt. Nebo in Jordan which overlooks the </span>northern<span style="font-family: inherit;"> tip of the Dead Sea, Yericho the City of Date Palms. The Targum Yonatan waxes poetically about how this city called Qiryat or Qirvat Dekaliya would be evacuated by 200,000 of its fellow Jews. Now almost everyone might think that this City of Date Palms is Yericho since, the actual text of the Torah says that Yericho is the City of Date Palms (Tamarim in Hebrew and Dekaliya in Aramaic). Now in his commentary on this verse he does say that the Squatters in the Jewish heartland of Yehudah and Shomron would be from Ammon (as in Amman) and Moab in Yarden and that there would also be a large terrorist army in the "Maishra", the marshlands of Gaza. He doesn't mention that the majority of those in Gaza would have the last name Masri which means Mitzri which means Egyptians, but he does say that Qirvat Dekaliya would be evacuated by its fellow Jews. What is curious is that the entire evacuation in 2005 (5765) was in Gaza and the Northern Shomron and that the largest populated city that was evacuated was Newe Dekalim, <i>the Beauties of the Date Palms,</i> and that this city was in Gaza, not near Yericho! So here we see that the entire prophesy of Moshe, as described by the Targun Yonatan, that we thought would apply to the Plain around Yericho ended up applying to the Maishrah, the marshlands of Gaza! So if that is the case, the endtimes places were spiritually switched. The City of Date Palms at the end of days was in Gaza, and the Avimelekhs are in Yarden. Why? Let me think about it. </span></span></span>Dov Bar-Leibhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15915682856620634130noreply@blogger.com169tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10578166.post-62307447969521000552017-05-02T16:10:00.002+03:002017-05-02T19:22:35.154+03:00The Timepiece for B'itah, the Koreas Leaving the Twilight ZoneToday is the<b> Day of the Dry Bones </b>(Yom HaAtzamot HaYevashot) when the first half of Yechezkel's prophesy on the Dry Bones occurred on the Fifth of Iyar 5708 aka Israel Independence Day (Yom HaAtzma'ut). The difference in spelling is that Atzma'ut has one extra Aleph, the Aleph of Elokim, who decided that the time of PHYSICAL wandering for the Jewish people was coming to a close. The spiritual prophesy on the Arba Ruchot, the second half of Yechezkel's vision, the spirit of the Messianic Era, has yet to occur. <br />
<br />
This post is based on the previous two posts:<br />
<a href="http://yearsofawe.blogspot.co.il/2017/03/the-light-of-mashiach-courtesy-of.html">The Light of Mashiach Courtesy of the Korean Peninsula Leaving the Twilight Zone</a><br />
and<br />
<a href="http://yearsofawe.blogspot.co.il/2017/04/the-two-legged-goat.html">The Two Legged Goat</a> .<br />
<br />
It is also based on all other posts that I have written on this blog since its inception in 2005. Some of those posts are linked to in the first post above. I suggest everyone review the material in all those posts because this post will incorporate in it the combined work of all posts discussed before on this blog dealing with the Korean Peninsula at the halakhic international date line. <br />
<br />
As discussed previously according to the Vilna Gaon and others, B'itah and the ingathering of the exiles "officially" began with Rosh HaShanah 5751 (19 September 1990 at sundown) which was 3/4 of the way through the 6th Millennium and which corresponded to high noon on Friday, the 6th day of the week. <b> In came the Lost in the Land of Ashur (Russian Jewry) and the castaways in the Land of Egypt (Ethiopian Jewry) like clockwork as if the shofar blast at high noon on Friday to call Jews in from their fields for Yom SheKulo Shabbat had been blown precisely on time.... because it WAS blown in Heaven precisely on time.</b> So it was time for those two groups of Jews to come home. (This was discussed in post #1 above.) Keep in mind that Yom sheKulo Shabbat, the day that will always be Shabbat is the entire 7th Millennium which should "officially" begin b'itah no later than Rosh HaShanah 6001, the first year of the 7th Millennium. Now every observant Jew knows halakhically we are allowed to bring on Shabbat as early as Plag HaMincha which is half way between Mincha Ketanah and sunset. This would correspond with approximately being 1 and a quarter halakhic hours before sunset on Friday afternoon. Depending on the time of year 1 1/4 halakhic hours could last 1 hour and 20 or 25 minutes in the Summer OR 1 hour and 5 or 10 minutes in the Winter. Usually those who bring Shabbat on early do it in the Summer time when the sun sets rather late such as at 8:20 pm. So they bring on Shabbat at 7:15pm in order not to have Shabbat dinner at an unG-dly hour late at night every week. Now 1 1/4 hours before sunset can be calculated as being the last 1/8th of the 2nd half of the 6th Millennium or the last 1/4 of the last 250 years of human history between 5751 and 6001. Each quarter of 250 years is equal to 62.5 years. So from this simple calculation it would seem that b'itah cannot begin until 62 1/2 years before the end of the year 6000 in the year 5938. That date would be a long way off, and talking about b'itah bringing the Utopian Age of human history that far into the future would be a big let down. So why would one want to anticipate Mashiach's coming since it is obvious that he is not coming because of our merits Achishena at any hour of any day? He is obviously coming B'itah while we are hanging on at the 49th level of impurity while Edom has beaten us to the Sewer of -50 last Shavuot 5776. He is coming In its time very likely, and even those who say that Mashiach could come in the next five minutes agree that after Mincha Gedolah of the 6th Millennium which was in Av 5771, he is almost assuredly coming B'itah. See our conundrum? <br />
<br />
Into this fray comes the Zohar HaQodesh VaEira 32. We are told that B'itah, the third battle of Gog UMagog will begin when "wicked" Rome has to fight a war against a nation at the edge of the World for about three months. Since the world is round, there is only one way to understand what is the "edge of the world". The edge of the world is the halakhic international dateline. This dateline is determined when it is high noon in Yerushalayim, for if Rosh Chodesh is sanctified for the entire world by the Sanhedrin BEFORE high noon, then Rosh Chodesh is that very day not just in Yerushalayim but all over the world. If the Sanhedrin delayed until after high noon to sanctify the new month, then Rosh Chodesh for the entire world is not that day but the following day. So from this we learn that at High Noon in Yerushalayim, the actual day or date of the month on the calendar is determined for the Entire World! Since Yerushalayim is at 35 degrees longitude on the Globe, then at the moment it is high noon in Yerushalayim, it is sunset 90 degrees to the east at the 125 degree longitude mark, separating between one day and the previous day. So 125 degrees to the east of Yerushalayim at this 125 degree mark IS the halakhic international dateline! From a Global map we can see that this 125 degree line separates China from the Korean Peninsula in the Yellow Sea. Approximately 2000 miles to the south of Pyongyang, N. Korea is the southern Philippines island of Mindanao <a href="http://www.rappler.com/nation/159568-isis-direct-contact-isnilon-hapilon">where ISIS terrorists are trying to take over the island (and where President Duterte has threatened to eat them!)</a>. The importance of this will become clearer later on either in this post or in comments. Here we are just noting the geographical facts. If we extend this 125 degree line into the Southern Hemisphere, we see that it cuts in half the Island nation of Indonesia through the island of Timor. And further south, it cuts through the western deserts of the Australian continent in what is for the most part a sparsely inhabited part of Australia. The two places where we will concentrate our understanding though will specifically be in the Northern hemisphere (Korea and the Philippines) because Yerushalayim, and its high noon timepiece is specifically in the Northern Hemisphere. So it seems much more likely that the places of final war of GogUMagog will be at least experiencing the same season as Eretz Yisrael at the time of its onset.<br />
<br />
Yet, as we see from previous posts about this matter, it is at this 125 degree line or "Sunset" line that we begin to have a problem. D'Oraita, that is according to the Torah, the day may begin at Sundown, but it does not end until the stars come out the following day approximately 45 minutes AFTER sundown. So for each potential day during Twilight, between Sundown and "Tzeit Kochavim" it is BOTH the day before Sundown and the new day after Sundown at the same time! On the Globe we know that there are 15 degrees for each hour time zone. So for let us say 42 minutes of Twilight, 42/60 = 10.5/15, we have 10.5 degrees of Twilight where at high noon in Yerushalayim on Rosh Chodesh or on Shabbat or on Yom Kippur, it is both the day before and the day after at the same time. Anyone who would live in that "Twilight Zone" would need to keep two days of Shabbat out of every seven days, and they would need to fast for 48 hours on Yom Kippur! This actually happened to the Mir Yeshivah when they escaped Nazi Germany and ended up at first in Kobe, Japan which is just inside this Twilight Zone shaded area. The Chazon Ish ruled that the Mir refugees would need to do just that (two days of Shabbat every week and fasting for 48 hours on Yom Kippur). They did not stay in Kobe long. They quickly moved to Shanghai in order to NOT have to live with these halakhic issues because Shanghai is significantly less than 90 degrees to the east of Yerushalayim. So in Shanghai there is no doubt D'Oraita what day it is. So there in Shanghai, one day of Shabbat every week and 24 hours of fasting on Yom Kippur are just fine.<br />
<br />
Now why mention a Twilight Zone of 42 minutes? Isn't that arbitrary? Well actually not. I went to <a href="http://myzmanim.com/">MyZmanim.com</a>, and looked up Seoul, South Korea, the capital city in the Korean Peninsula a mere 30 kilometers from the DMZ (DeMilitarized Zone or No Man's Land between N. and S. Korea). <a href="https://www.myzmanim.com/monthcontainer.aspx?vars=47045099/1-5777////////////////569e41&lang=en"> Now here is the table that came up</a> for the month of Nissan. <i>In order to view this table, you may have to log in with a UserName and Password. You might even have to make a contribution. They are a private site that needs funding, and who am I to complain if they want me to give them a few bucks to have access to their exact Zmanim times over the course of an entire year. They even have a new feature to take into account the altitude of the place you might be at! </i> I started with Nissan because I noted that the it was at the very beginning of Tekufat Nissan that Trump sent those 59 missiles to destroy the Syrian Airforce base because Assad used chemical weapons. Almost immediately after that the situation of the Korean Peninsula began to explode into the headlines, and Trump used his military action against Assad as a show of force to convince the Chinese to help him against Kim Jong Un. So the Whisper of War against the country at the edge of the world did begin during the month of Nissan 5777. Notice that the time between sunset and Tzeit Kochavim (stars coming out) is between 41 and 42 minutes for Seoul, South Korea at least during the entire month of Nissan. Again this corresponds with an additional 10.5 degrees on the Globe AFTER the 90 degree mark east of Yerushalayim for 100,5 degrees on the Globe. <br />
<br />
Now let us put two concepts together. High noon on Yom ShiShi (Friday) was at Rosh HaShanah 5751 which kicked off the "official" period of intense ingathering of the Exiles. Ostensibly it could last 250 years until the year 6001. At the same time it is Sunset through Tzeit Kochavim on the entire Korean Peninsula. So it is a Saffeik (a halakhic doubt) that at high noon in Yerushalayim on Friday whether that Saffeik area, between 125 degrees and 135.5 degrees, is going into Shabbat or into Thursday night at the same time. Assuming that the Saffeik assertion that they are entering Shabbat is true, then there are 100.5 degrees on the Globe that enter Shabbat before Israel enters Shabbat. <b> Over the course of those 250 years, places to the east of Eretz Yisrael enter Yom sheKulo Shabbat BEFORE Eretz Yisrael enters Yom SheKulo Shabbat, that is especially with places which are within either 90 to 100.5 degrees to the east of Yerushalayim. Yet because the first 10.5 degrees to enter are a Saffeik (A DOUBT) UNTIL those 10.5 degrees have fully entered Tzeit Kochavim so that the 90 degrees to the east then begin to enter, the period of time from Rosh HaShanah 5751 until the 10.5 degrees to the east of 125 degrees fully enter into the darkness of the starlight, Yom sheKulo Shabbat could not begin b'itah. Upon entering the darkness of twilight, the light of Shabbat would begin to shine upon the world from the places on the Globe furthest East of Yerushalayim once there is no doubt that those places entering are now within the 90 degrees east of Yerusahalayim! At the point that the area 90 degrees east of Yerushalayim begin to enter Yom SheKulo Shabbat, the entire area 10.5 degrees further to the east enters Yom SheKulo Shabbat with it. From the number above we see the following: Over the course of 250 years, 100.5 degrees on the Globe enter Yom SheKulo Shabbat. That is 2.5 years per degree on the Globe starting in the year 5751. If the Twilight Zone shaded area of doubt is 10.5 degrees as it is at the DMZ and Seoul on the Korean Peninsula, then it takes 2.5 years/ degree x 10.5 degrees to bring the Korean theatre and places to the west of it in the Yellow Sea into Yom SheKulo Shabbat. 2.5 x 10.5 = 26.25 years. <span style="font-size: large;">Rosh HaShanah 5751 + 26.25 years is precisely Tevet of the year 5777!, this year at the beginning of the Nine Months!</span> From this we see that the entire Korean Peninsula has now entered Yom SheKulo Shabbat, and on Shabbat the wicked are judged.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>From the Psalm 92 for the Day of Shabbat:</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b> ח בִּפְרֹחַ רְשָׁעִים, כְּמוֹ עֵשֶׂב, וַיָּצִיצוּ, כָּל-פֹּעֲלֵי אָוֶן: לְהִשָּׁמְדָם עֲדֵי-עַד.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>8 <span style="font-size: large;">When the wicked spring up as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they may be destroyed for ever.</span></b><br />
<b></b><br />
<b>ט וְאַתָּה מָרוֹם-- לְעֹלָם יְהוָה.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>9 But Thou, O LORD, art on high for evermore.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>So as the entire Korean Peninsula now has its time guaranteed as entering Yom SheKulo Shabbat, it is from there that G-d brings judgement upon a Wicked world less that 250 years before the end of the year 6000 long before Plag HaMinchah. </b><br />

In this post we start with the assumption that Esav is compared to a Goat. There are many sources for this:<br />
<br />
1. When Ya'akov fooled his father Yitzchak to think that he was his brother Esav so that he could receive Esav's brachah, he wore the skin of a goat on his arm and neck.<br />
<br />
2. When Esav inherited his portion in this world, his first territorial inheritance was Mt. Se'ir, the Mountain of the Male Goat. A Se'ir is a male goat.<br />
<br />
3. Me'am Lo'ez based on the Zohar compares the meeting of Ya'akov and Esav when Ya'akov is traveling back from Lavan's house in Aram Naharai'im to the meeting of two goats on Yom Kippur. Ya'akov goes LaShem by traveling on to the next festival, Sukkot while Esav goes to Mt. Se'ir (toward Aza'zel) to be "thrown over the cliff" there at the End of Days. <br />
<br />
In actuality though, it is not at Mt. Se'ir, Esav's ancient homeland, where Esav is thrown over the cliff. The text of Yishayahu 34 and 63 and the Zohar VaEira 32 from the previous post tell us that the Angel of Edom will be slaughtered in Batzrah, the modern city in southern Iraq at the confluence of the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers as they enter the Persian Gulf. These two rivers flow from Gan Eden, and their mineral wealth (50% of the world's sweet non-shale oil reserves) will only be truly valuable in Olam HaZeh. So when Olam HaZeh makes way for Yemot HaMashiach, Esav's guardian angel will be slaughtered there. Even the text of Yishayahu 34 compares Esav's guardian angel to a Male Goat.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> וּפָגְשׁוּ צִיִּים אֶת-אִיִּים, וְשָׂעִיר עַל-רֵעֵהוּ יִקְרָא; אַךְ-שָׁם הִרְגִּיעָה לִּילִית, וּמָצְאָה לָהּ מָנוֹחַ.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>14 And the wild-cats shall meet with the jackals, and the (Se'ir or satyr) shall cry to his fellow (satyr); yea, the night-monster (Lilith, the Chief Se'ir's feminine companion) shall repose there, and shall find her a place of rest.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">In this verse we see that the Sar (Heavenly Minister) of Esav is dead at this juncture because the Chief Goat, the Ministering Angel of Esav, has already been slaughtered in Batzrah, but his servant demons called satyrs in English continue to live on in this burning wasteland. And the Heavenly Minister of Esav had a mistress named Lilith who continues to live on in this barren hell on earth with burning oil fires that are never quenched and tar on the principle rivers, the Tigris and the Euphrates, continuing to burn in smoldering fires. </span><br />
<br />
This of course happens after the oil rich Persian Gulf and the two Rivers themselves go up in flames as described in the text of Yishayahu 34, and no Red Adair will go to the Gulf to put out the fires at one million bucks per oil well, demonstrating that it will not be economically feasible to put out these oil fires in Yemot HaMashiach. The oil just won't be worth that much as it was in 5751 after the First Persian Gulf War when "Red" Adair went to Batzrah and neighboring Kuwait to douse these fires to preserves the ancient "Red"'s inheritance called in the Torah, Shmanei HaAretz, the Oil of the earth.<br />
<br />
Bereishit 27: לח וַיֹּאמֶר עֵשָׂו אֶל-אָבִיו, הַבְרָכָה אַחַת הִוא-לְךָ אָבִי--בָּרְכֵנִי גַם-אָנִי, אָבִי; וַיִּשָּׂא עֵשָׂו קֹלוֹ, וַיֵּבְךְּ.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>38 And Esau said unto his father: 'Hast thou but one blessing, my father? bless me, even me also, O my father.' And Esau lifted up his voice, and wept.<br />
<br />
לט וַיַּעַן יִצְחָק אָבִיו, וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו: הִנֵּה מִשְׁמַנֵּי הָאָרֶץ, יִהְיֶה מוֹשָׁבֶךָ, וּמִטַּל הַשָּׁמַיִם, מֵעָל.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>39 And Isaac his father answered and said unto him: Behold, of the fat places of the earth {or Oil of the earth. (This is a double entendre.)} shall be thy dwelling, and of the dew of heaven from above;<br />
<br />
From here we see that Esav's blessing gives him the oil of the earth cart blanche. He does not have to have merit for it. The dew of heaven which he also receives comes as a result of all the merits that he has in This World, but since the dew is mentioned AFTER the blessing of the oil of the earth and not before as it is with Ya'akov's brachah, the oil is not dependent upon his merits whose reward comes through the Dew. Also the name Elokim is missing from his brachah meaning that unlike Ya'akov he will not necessarily suffer for his sins in This World. He will only suffer from them primarily in the World to Come. That aspect of his brachah made him extremely angry and is the source of much of his hatred for Ya'akov throughout all of history. And at the very end of history when his merits have been used up, Esav's angel will flee to Batzrah to permanently receive his reward of the Oil of the earth. And there the Angel, the two legged goat as we shall soon see, will be slaughtered.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://yearsofawe.blogspot.co.il/2006/06/esaus-angel-has-fled-to-batzrah-basra.html">A more detailed discussion of this was presented in my 2006 post about Esav's angel fleeing to Batzrah. </a> I have in previous years written extensively about this topic on this blog.<br />
<br />
<b>A chicken has two legs called Kra'ayim, but a bull, a sheep, and a goat have four legs.</b> It is well known in Hebrew grammar that when there is two of something that is when things are paired, the plural form<u> Cheerik dot followed by a Yud and a Final Mem</u> <i>(the regular plural form)</i> is transformed into <u>Patach Yud Cheerik under the Yud followed by a Final Mem</u>. In modern Hebrew an extra Yud is added after the Cheerik to distinguish it from the regular plural consonants of the three letter shoresh followed by a Yud and a Final Mem. In ancient Hebrew though, no such second Yud was added. Consonantally it was impossible to distinguish between the two forms, the regular plural form and the form that meant a pair of something. Here are examples from the Torah and Na"kh:<br />
<br />
From Sefer BaMidbar 22 in the story about Bilaam we see that he hit his jackass three times:<br />
<br />
כח וַיִּפְתַּח יְהוָה, אֶת-פִּי הָאָתוֹן; וַתֹּאמֶר לְבִלְעָם, מֶה-עָשִׂיתִי לְךָ, כִּי הִכִּיתַנִי, זֶה שָׁלֹשׁ <span style="font-size: large;">רְגָלִים</span>.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>28 And the LORD opened the mouth of the ass, and she said unto Balaam: 'What have I done unto thee, that thou hast smitten me these three times?'<br />
<br />
Or when speaking of the three Pilgrimage festivals when in ancient times we all walked to Yerushalayim, we have this verse from Shemot 23:<br />
<br />
יד שָׁלֹשׁ <span style="font-size: large;">רְגָלִים</span>, תָּחֹג לִי בַּשָּׁנָה.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>14 Three times thou shalt keep a feast unto Me in the year.<br />
<br />
Notice in both cases the regular masculine plural form. Now here is the form referring to pairs of legs: Iyov (Job) 29:<br />
<br />
טו <span style="font-size: large;"> עֵינַיִם</span> הָיִיתִי, לַעִוֵּר; <span style="font-size: large;">וְרַגְלַיִם</span> לַפִּסֵּחַ אָנִי.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>15 I was <span style="font-size: large;">eyes</span> to the blind, and <span style="font-size: large;">legs </span>was I to the lame.<br />
<br />
I specifically chose that pasuk so that you could see the Pair of limbs and organs form of both the word for Eyes and Legs in Tana"kh since almost every human being on the planet was born with two of them each.<br />
<br />
Now from this past week's parsha, Shmini, let us look at an insect whose hind legs are for hopping and its front legs are for stabilizing their body. These are the kosher locusts that can be eaten if you have a mesorah to know exactly which species of locusts are kosher: VaYikra 11:<br />
<br />
כא אַךְ אֶת-זֶה, תֹּאכְלוּ, מִכֹּל שֶׁרֶץ הָעוֹף, הַהֹלֵךְ עַל-אַרְבַּע: אֲשֶׁר-לא (לוֹ) <span style="font-size: large;">כְרָעַיִם </span>מִמַּעַל לְרַגְלָיו, לְנַתֵּר בָּהֵן עַל-הָאָרֶץ.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>21 Yet these may ye eat of all winged swarming things that go upon all fours, which have jointed legs above their feet, wherewith to leap upon the earth;<br />
<br />
Notice the Pair of limbs form of the word <span style="font-size: large;">כְרָעַיִם. </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">It makes sense because for a locust, the hind pair of legs are for leaping upon the earth (as the pasuk itself says) while the front legs are only for standing on all four legs. The hind legs have knees above the plane of the body while the front legs do not. In this case you really have two distinct pairs of legs. Just to point out where we are headed with this, notice the singular form of of the word Kra'ayim. It is Kera which is a combination of both the lower and upper legs. For a chicken the lower leg is called a shok while the upper leg known as a thigh in English is called a Yarech. They are joined at the knee, and together they are called a Kera spelled Kaf Reish Ayin. So the Hebrew word for kneel is Korea (</span><span style="font-size: large;">כֹּרֵעַ</span><span style="font-family: inherit;">) (Yes, you read that right.) From the Book of Esther 3 when Mordechai refused to kneel before Haman we have the following:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span> ב וְכָל-עַבְדֵי הַמֶּלֶךְ אֲשֶׁר-בְּשַׁעַר הַמֶּלֶךְ, <span style="font-size: large;">כֹּרְעִים</span> וּמִשְׁתַּחֲוִים לְהָמָן--כִּי-כֵן, צִוָּה-לוֹ הַמֶּלֶךְ; וּמָרְדֳּכַי--לֹא יִכְרַע, וְלֹא יִשְׁתַּחֲוֶה.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>2 And all the king's servants, that were in the king's gate, knelt down, and prostrated themselves before Haman; for the king had so commanded concerning him. But Mordechai knelt not down, nor prostrated himself before him.<br />
<br />
and ה וַיַּרְא הָמָן--כִּי-אֵין מָרְדֳּכַי, <span style="font-size: large;">כֹּרֵעַ </span>וּמִשְׁתַּחֲוֶה לוֹ; וַיִּמָּלֵא הָמָן, חֵמָה.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>5 And when Haman saw that Mordechai would not kneel, nor prostrate himself before him, then was Haman full of wrath.<br />
<br />
So now here is the important point of this post. Starting from the first chapter of VaYikra we learn about the various Qorbanot. In only one case are the limbs themselves burnt upon the altar. It is with a fully burnt offering, usually a personal and voluntary one. It is often offered up for failing to do positive commandments since the Qorban Cheit (Sin offerings) are for unintentionally transgressing the Thou shalt nots. In all other cases, the limbs are either eaten by the Kohanim or in the case of Peace offerings are eaten by the general public in Yerushalayim when they are tahor. Sometimes they are burnt outside the Temple Mount compound. But in the case of the fully burnt offering or the Qorban Olah, they are burnt upon the altar. So notice from VaYikra 1, first the Torah tells us about how to sacrifice a Bull, a Par. Notice the words used to describe the four limbs that are burnt on the altar:<br />
<br />
ט וְקִרְבּוֹ <span style="font-size: large;">וּכְרָעָיו</span>, יִרְחַץ בַּמָּיִם; וְהִקְטִיר הַכֹּהֵן אֶת-הַכֹּל הַמִּזְבֵּחָה, עֹלָה אִשֵּׁה רֵיחַ-נִיחוֹחַ לַיהוָה. {ס}<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>9 but its inwards and <span style="font-size: large;">its legs</span> shall he wash with water; and the priest shall make the whole smoke on the altar, for a burnt-offering, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.<br />
<br />
Now this makes sense because in the case of a four legged kosher mammal, the front legs and the hind legs serve virtually the same purpose. It allows for the four legged mammal to walk on all four legs, and each of the four legs has a split hoof.<br />
<br />
Yet, just four pasukim later, we read about the exact same Qorban from the flock instead of from cattle. There should be precise parallelism since a four legged sheep or goat has legs which serve the same purpose as a four legged bull or cow. Therefore it should read Kirbo UKra'av, meaning its innards and its legs,<b> but it does not! </b><br />
<br />
<b>Instead for the sheep and goat Olah it reads:</b><br />
יג וְהַקֶּרֶב <span style="font-size: large;">וְהַכְּרָעַיִם</span>, יִרְחַץ בַּמָּיִם; וְהִקְרִיב הַכֹּהֵן אֶת-הַכֹּל, וְהִקְטִיר הַמִּזְבֵּחָה--עֹלָה הוּא אִשֵּׁה רֵיחַ נִיחֹחַ, לַיהוָה. {פ}<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>13 But the inwards and the legs shall he wash with water; and the priest shall offer the whole, and make it smoke upon the altar; it is a burnt-offering, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.<br />
<br />
Now we all know that unlike a chicken or a turkey, <b>a goat or sheep does NOT have two legs. So it should not read Kra'aim.</b> It should also read either Kra'av (its limbs) or Kra'im (limbs) without the extra patach before the Yud. I have yet to find the reason in Chaza"l why there would be this difference between the bull and an animal from the flock. So I have to conclude it is a hint that the Qorban of Edom, who is compared to a goat, at the End of Days will have two limbs, two proxy limbs fighting each other which when the time comes will both be placed on the altar in Batzrah when Western Civilization is brought to its knees. The two limbs? The Korea (Kera) of the North and the Korea (Kera) of the South. <br />

As Rav Levi Sa'adia Nachmani zt"l said years ago. that the Great light of Mashiach will come from the following two cryptic verses from Parshat Ha'Azinu (Devarim 32:21-22):<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>כא הֵם קִנְאוּנִי בְלֹא-אֵל, {ר} כִּעֲסוּנִי בְּהַבְלֵיהֶם; {ס} וַאֲנִי אַקְנִיאֵם בְּלֹא-עָם, {ר} בְּגוֹי נָבָל אַכְעִיסֵם. </b> {ס}</span><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="font-family: inherit; white-space: pre;"> </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">21 They have roused Me to jealousy with a no-god (</span><i style="font-family: inherit;">atheism</i><span style="font-family: inherit;">); they have provoked Me with their vanities </span><i style="font-family: inherit;">(nonsensical pursuits</i><span style="font-family: inherit;">); and I will rouse them to jealousy with a non-people (</span><i><span style="font-family: inherit;">the PaLeStinians who are not a nation, just an Arab collection of Squatters from Jordan and Egypt since the P(h).L.S(h). root in Hebrew means "to squat on someone else's land" This is true in all Semitic languages by the way. The </span>derogatory<span style="font-family: inherit;"> name for Ethiopian Jews in the Amharic language with the same </span></i><i>P(h).L.S(h). root,</i><i><span style="font-family: inherit;"> given them by Ethiopian Xtians, was FaLaShah or Squatters in their midst.</span></i><span style="font-family: inherit;">); I will provoke them with a vile nation (</span><i style="font-family: inherit;">Tzarfat or France</i><span style="font-family: inherit;">).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>כב כִּי-אֵשׁ קָדְחָה בְאַפִּי, {ר} וַתִּיקַד עַד-שְׁאוֹל תַּחְתִּית; {ס} וַתֹּאכַל אֶרֶץ וִיבֻלָהּ, {ר} וַתְּלַהֵט מוֹסְדֵי הָרִים.</b> {ס}<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>22 For a fire (<i>a nuclear blast</i>) is kindled in My nostril, and burneth unto the depths of the nether-world (<i>She'ol or Seoul, South Korea</i>), and devoureth the earth with her produce, and setteth ablaze the foundations of the mountains.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Now Rav Nachmani seemed to insinuate that the North Korean nuclear program MAY first be used against Seoul, South Korea or against Japan or even against the American Pacific Coast, but its final target address would at least be an attempt to nuke Eretz Yisrael. So over the course of the past week we see this, lo and behold, </span><a href="http://www.jerusalemonline.com/news/middle-east/israel-and-the-middle-east/idf-attack-target-north-korean-missiles-in-syria-27306" style="font-family: inherit;">Israel had to bomb a convoy of hi tech missiles from North Korea that were being transported in Syria to Hezbollah! </a><span style="font-family: inherit;"> So if the missile and high grade fissionable uranium and plutonium technology, which is being produced in North Korea and disbursed to their Axis of Evil ally in Persia, is now being disbursed to Syria and Hezbollah, we are right now not far away from at least an attempt to actualize Rav Levi Nachmani's nightmare scenario. These are telling moments and telling times while our Supreme Court focuses its evil efforts on the destruction of Jewish life in Yesha, the rest of the world makes no distinctions and focuses in on murdering all of us. But alas they will not succeed. G-d is overseeing this last and final ingathering of exiles which began in earnest in several stages over the last 100 years (1917, 1948, 1967, 1990-1991). The last one was predicted by the Vilna Gaon. The final push to ingather the exiles of Israel would take place 3/4 of the way through the 6th </span>Millennium in the years 5750 and 5751 (1990- 1991) to fulfill the verse in Yeshayahu 27:13 that with the Teki'ah blast of a Great Shofar, the Lost ones in the Land of Ashur and the castaways in the Land of Egypt would come on Aliyah. Since the Lost ones in Ashur were at least in part absorbed by the Khazar tribe, the tenth son of Togarmah (the Turks), who migrated north to form their 500 year kingdom between the Black and Caspian Seas and since the Khazar kingdom did convert en masse to Judaism because of the convincing arguments of Rav Yehudah Almangari (recorded in the Kuzari by Yehudah HaLeivi), and since Khazaria was destroyed by Russia around the year 1240ce dispersing Jews northward into the Pale of Settlement in Russia and the Ukraine mixing in with Ashkenzaic Jews migrating eastward, the ingathering of Russian Jewry which began in 1990 and the ingathering of the castaways from Egypt, Ethiopian Jewry, in Operation Shlomo and Sheba in 1991 were a tremendous fulfillment of this incredible prophesy, right on schedule according to the Vilna Gaon. This ingathering began the last 250 years BEFORE Yom sheKulo Shabbat too. According to Sefer HaLeshem, that final ingathering would take a maximum of 40 years so that Techiyah HaMeitim could begin by the year 5790, 40 years after 5750. <br />
<br />
In order to continue this post, though, we need to pause for review of the following three posts that I wrote many years ago on this blog.<br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Also ponder the following from the Zohar VaEira 32a:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<i><span style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Zohar 32a continued, after discussing how the Children of Yishmael were given merit for 1300 years, 400 years after the last Tanna, Yehudah HaNassi, wrote down the Mishneh because of the emptiness of Eretz Yisrael.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: arial, sans-serif;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: arial, sans-serif;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">At that time, a nation from the end of the earth (halakhically determined international dateline) will be aroused against evil Rome and wage war against it for three months. Nations will gather there, and [Rome] will fall into their hands, until all the children of Edom will gather against it [that nation] from all the corners of the world. Then G‑d will be roused against them. This is the meaning of: "For G‑d has a sacrifice in Botzrah"(Yishayahu 34:6). (</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Botzrah is the city in Iraq controlled by the Shi'ite Arabs at the behest of neighboring Iran. This points to an endtimes alliance between the nation at the edge of the world (N. Korea) and Persia/Iran.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">) And afterwards, it is written: "That it might take hold of the ends of the earth..." (Job 38:13) He will destroy the descendants of Ishmael from the land, and break all the powers of [all the nations' guardian angels] Above. There will not remain any power of any people on earth, except the power of Israel alone. This is the meaning of "G‑d is your shadow upon your right hand". (Psalms 121:5)</span></i><br />
<i><span style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></i>
<span style="color: #202020; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;">Here, below, is the preceding text for the above excerpt from the Zohar from <a href="http://www.chabad.org/kabbalah/article_cdo/aid/1391003/jewish/Daily-Zohar-Vaeira-Day-5.htm">the Kabbalah On Line website from Chabad.org</a>:</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: 1.5rem;">Then, the following from above:</span></div>
<i><span style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">At that time, <span style="font-size: large;">a nation from the end of the earth (halakhically determined international dateline) will be aroused against evil Rome and wage war against it for three months. </span>Nations will gather there, and [Rome] will fall into their hands, until all the children of Edom will gather against it [that nation] from all the corners of the world. Then G‑d will be roused against them. This is the meaning of: "For G‑d has a sacrifice in Botzrah"(Yishayahu 34:6). (</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Botzrah is the city in Iraq controlled by the Shi'ite Arabs at the behest of neighboring Iran. This points to an endtimes alliance between the nation at the edge of the world (N. Korea) and Persia/Iran.</span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">) And afterwards, it is written: "That it might take hold of the ends of the earth..." (Job 38:13) He will destroy the descendants of Ishmael from the land, and break all the powers of [all the nations' guardian angels] Above. There will not remain any power of any people on earth, except the power of Israel alone. This is the meaning of "G‑d is your shadow upon your right hand". (Psalms 121:5)</span></i><br />
