Megillat Esther Code: 5786


H/t Miguel 


This was discovered by the Brazilian kabbalist Misha'Ël Ha'Levi three years ago:

Chapter 1, verse 18 of Megillat Esther:

יח וְהַיּוֹם הַזֶּה תֹּאמַרְנָה שָׂרוֹת פָּרַס-וּמָדַי, אֲשֶׁר שָׁמְעוּ אֶת-דְּבַר הַמַּלְכָּה, לְכֹל, שָׂרֵי הַמֶּלֶךְ; וּכְדַי, בִּזָּיוֹן וָקָצֶף.

18 And this day will the princesses of Persia and Media who have heard of the deed of the queen say the like unto all the king's princes. So will there arise enough contempt and wrath.


- 5786 - תשפו

 - fire - אש

 - vaporize - אדה

And the words Persia and Media are contained in the actual text.

Video below, but it is in Portuguese.


"May be that something will happen in Iran in 2026. This is encoded in Megillat Esther 1:18, which deals with the queen Vashti's disobedience in appearing before the king Ahasuerus. In this verse, the initial letters of each word form the Jewish year 5786, which corresponds, in the common calendar, to the present year 2026, together with the words FIRE and VAPOR. Thus, in this verse we have the Jewish year 5786 with FIRE and VAPOR and MEDO-PERSIANS, that is IRAN. This is encoded in Megillat Esther 1:18. As the Gaon of Vilna said: everything that has existed, exists and will exist is encoded in the Torah…"

Sunsets Lately

 

I went outside to watch the sunset, and the orange glow along the horizon was so intense.  I didn't bother taking my own photo, I knew someone else would get a better shot than I could.  Photos don't do it justice, that orange is something you have to see for yourself.

HaGaon HaRav Dov Landau, HaGaon HaRav Moshe Hillel Hirsch, and other Gedolei Yisrael, Roshei Yeshivos, and Rabbanim attended a reception in Bnei Brak on Sunday evening celebrating the release of two yeshiva bochurim from military prison—Yitzchak Revivo of Yeshivas Rabbeinu Chaim Ozer and Yair Saada of Yeshivas Kisei Rachamim. 

HaRav Landau said at the event, “How fortunate you are that you were arrested because of words of Torah…we are filled with appreciation for the steadfast stand, on the one hand against temptations and on the other against hardships, and we express our admiration for their declaration: ‘Many waters cannot extinguish the love with which we love the Torah.’ 

“When HaRav Amram Blau was imprisoned (for protesting Chillul Shabbos), the Chazon Ish came to visit him and told him, ‘It is not Rav Amram who is in prison—the Shabbos itself is in prison!’” 

“When a ben yeshivah is placed in prison solely because he desires to learn Torah, it is not he who is in prison! The Torah itself, rachmanah litzlan, is in prison!” 

“Let everyone who is a partner to this crime—casting the Torah HaKedoshah, the Toras Hashem, behind bars—know this: you’re not fighting against flesh and blood; you’re fighting against the Torah and against the One who gave it, Yisbarach Shemo, rachmanah litzlan.” 

“Sadly, we are in Galus among Jews, and we all daven that Hashem will help us and soon redeem us from this Galus so that we may study Torah in peace and security,” HaRav Landau concluded.

A Person's Name Affects His Essence


by Rabbi David Hanania Pinto

"The name of the first was Shifrah and the name of the second was Puah" [Shemot 1:15]

Why did Pharaoh change Yocheved and Miriam's names to Shifra and Puah, which are Egyptian names?

The Rebbe of Riminov zt"l explains: Pharaoh knew that as long as the midwives, Yocheved and Miriam, are called Jewish names, there is no way he can challenge them with this cruel decree of killing Jewish children. Therefore, he first commanded them to change their names to 'Shifra' and 'Pu'ah', hoping that Egyptian names will have an effect on their state of mind and change their essence and character, to the extent that they will now be capable of murdering Jewish children. Only after that did he order them, "if it is a son, you are to kill him".

A person's name is his essence. It is absorbed in his innermost being and greatly influences his spirit and character.
