12 Minutes ....

H/t Rivka

On a recent blog post "No-one is Prepared for What is Next" an anonymous commenter wrote:

This recent attack israel vs iran lasted 12h, news are calling it the 12h war... 12 day war was before this 12 hour war (remember?)... maybe 12 minute war is coming? Remember what the Gaon of Vilna said about 12m.

Then today, someone called me and told me about a video that had come up on their feed, with a headline saying "It Will Last 12 Minutes".   I remembered I'd posted that video back in August last year, but here it is again, because after reading the anonymous comment, I think she's spot on.... we had the 12 day war, then the 12 hour war.... and the final one will be 12 minutes, as prophesied by the Vilna Gaon.

A Vision from the Past

Chodesh Tov!  Welcome Tammuz. Let's hope it's a good one.

About 17 years ago, although I can't remember the exact date... I was living in a different place, so that's the only way I can date it.... I was shown a vision in a dream, and at the time I didn't understand it.  I still don't really understand, but as with every "vision" that I've ever been shown, I believe that it is something that is going to happen.  

17 years ago, I did not know anything about Donald Trump, apart from the fact that he was someone who was a public figure.  He was not running for President, and I don't even think Rabbi Kessin had begun to speak about him yet.   However, in a dream, you always know who you're seeing.  I've never forgotten it, just like I've never forgotten any of the visions I've seen, and they've all actually happened in real life some time after the dream.

So, here I give you an AI version of the vision I was shown.  It was presented to me as an image, and then I woke up, with that image imprinted on my mind.  

I was shown the Sydney Harbour Bridge with a large water spout in front of it, and Trump dressed as a clown in a white and blue clown suit [Israeli colours] and Trump was collapsed on the ground.  I am unsure if he was dead or alive in the vision, but he was "collapsed".

So I'm sharing it here, make of it what you will.... I don't have any major understanding of what is being shown here.

Super-Rational

One of the reasons for the Sabbatical year is to allow the land to rest for a year, to enhance its fertility [Guide for the Perplexed 3:3]  From this it follows that after six consecutive years of intensive agriculture, the land is at its least fertile point in the seven year cycle.  So the Torah's promise that the land ''will yield produce (sufficient) for three years'' in the naturally infertile sixth year, is totally irrational, and requires a person to accept an authority which is higher than his mortal understanding.

The Talmud [Sanhedrin 97a] compares the six agricultural years to the six millenia of this world, and the Sabbatical year to the seventh millenium [when the Geula will have arrived].  

Since the Jewish people suffer from a gradual regression in spiritual stature as the generations pass, a person might ask ''How could the efforts of the spiritually weak and ''infertile'' sixth millenium bring the true and complete redemption?''

The Torah answers:  It is the super-rational self-sacrifice and commitment to Judaism of the final generations of exile that will bring the blessings of the Redemption.

"No-one is Prepared For What is Next"

Rabbi Tovia Singer

Rabbi Tovia Singer explains why the prophets may have seen this moment coming, and why what happens next could be far more significant than most people realize.

War in the Summer? Redemption in Mercy? It's Up to Us.

This has been auto-dubbed, female voice.... usually I don't like the auto dubs, but the message is worthwhile, as we pray for Geula with rachamim [mercy] not judgment.

"Redemption is a multi-stage process..... We are currently on the scales, and it has not yet been decided in Heaven whether the Redemption will come through mercy or through judgment."

What's Behind The Sun?

There is something behind the sun... presumed to be the gas giant Immaru... whatever it is, it should not be there in the normal course of events.  This is why both the sun - and the moon - often have colours around them, and if you point your phone camera randomly at the sun and take a photo, you may end up with a rainbow effect just like this, and wonder why....

To Remain in the Desert

''You will not come to the Land...'' [Shelach 14:30]

G-d does not issue a punishment to bring revenge on the sinner.  Rather, the ''punishment'' is a form of spiritual ''medicine'' aimed at correcting the spiritual deficiency caused by a sin.

With this in mind, the ''punishment'' given to the Jewish people here is difficult to understand.  Their sin was that they did not wish to enter the Land because they desired to remain in the desert where they could serve G-d without distraction; and yet, their punishment was to receive what they wanted: to remain in the desert [for forty years!]  How would this ''correct' their sin of not wanting to enter the Land?

In truth however, the sin of the spies was not that they were too spiritual, but rather they were not spiritual enough.  To be involved with the physical world and remain spiritually attuned demands the highest degree of attachment to G-d.  So when the generation showed that they were lacking this level of dedication, they were given 40 more years of unrestricted Divine worship, enabling them to reach the level where they would be ready to engage in the world.

23 Sivan Foretold

H/t Yosef Shidler for text and images

 

There is a short video uploaded here by Yosef Shidler 

If you can't access it, I've copied the transcript. 

All right. So the megilla explicitly mentions - in the first column of the megilla - in the first chapter it mentions that this year is 5786 ....what is happening and what is most interesting on what is happening is that this year current events with this whole Iran war, which basically is Persia, the place where the megilla happened, are aligning specifically with the four months that the megilla explicitly mentions.

Teves, the first month that the megilla mentions in the order of things, right? Why Teves is interesting is because Teves is when all the Iranians went out and they started to try and overthrow and cause this uprising, right? Remember this whole scenario? So they were trying to overthrow the government. That happened - the real beginning of that they pinned right to about 8th of Teves and it ended right before the end of Shevat. 

Nothing happens. I remember we were all sitting in Shevat and we're like oh come on. When's this Iran war going to happen? When's this Iran war going to happen? Trump keeps talking about it. Everyone in the media is talking. When's the war finally going to happen? And we were sitting there and nothing's happening. The whole month of Shvat, right? Shvat's not mentioned in the megllah.. 

Then we get to the first date that we can read the megillah... All right, that is when the war begins and it goes all the way until the middle of Nissan. Then there's a ceasefire and it concludes, right - and so we have Teves, we have Adar and we have Nissan - all three months mentioned in the megillah, right? Then we go into Iyar and everyone's like, "Okay, what's happening with this Iran war?" And all this discussion and conversation and everything's going on, right? Nothing happening. Everyone's wondering, "Why is nothing happening?" 

All right, so we're sitting there. We're trying to figure out what's the next step. When's Trump going to act? Finally, 29 Iyar, right? On 29 Iyar, the final day of Iyar, Trump puts up a big post, "the calm before the storm". The storm is coming back, right? We're going to go back into Iran. We're going to do our business right - today is Rosh Chodesh. So literally Trump is saying that I'm about to pick up and he showed the Iranian boats in that picture that he posted. We know that he's going back for Iran.

So essentially you have a pattern where you have months on, then off, months on off right - so what is the mathematical odds that we would get this whole pattern to exactly line up the way it did? 

Also first of all let's just do it in the terms of just this year, meaning that the fact that this year the megilla....you know you have four months that are mentioned in the megilla out of 12 and the factor of all four months lining up specifically to have the megillah calls out those four months. So it says those odds are one in essentially 495 that that happens. 

Then you factor that there's a code in the megilla.. The megilla potentially called out this year of 5786 and that number goes up by like a thousand. Like the mathematical odds that the megilla called out this year and that events are aligning with these months in order is crazy crazy crazy - numbers that are like blown up to the sky type of numbers. meaning that for for this to be predicted or for this to have been predicted and then happen, the mathematical odds are extremely extremely extremely low and very very unlikely to happen. 

So bottom line I guess the month of Sivan is going to be very very telling as to what happens during this month if we perceive and if miracles happen and you know the war continues and I think we have a lot in store for us. I think it's going to be extremely interesting and extremely telling in the general course of events throughout the month. So, I guess pay attention to what happens because it's definitely going to be very very interesting to see that pattern emerge and continue.
