I didn’t like the part where Rabbi Kessin said Hashem can tolerate this Sodom and gemorah we are in for 100 years. That’s not realistic and wasn’t rabbi kessin one of many that repeatedly has said that techiyas hameisim must start by 2030 or 2026 (quoted the Zohar and Leshem)? How can golus continue another 100 years? Everyday of this immorality and corruption is a nightmare

The truth is, no one can ever predict when Hashem will reveal Moshiach. It can happen at any moment. So, all these prophecies, attempts at predicting are just that. Please don't get me wrong, I have a tremendous respect for all our holy prophets. But our reality is changing for the worse at the speed of light. It is very very challenging for good hearted observant Jews, Righteous Gentiles and Noahides to witness the moral decay and desintegration of the whole world, pestilence, freakish weather patterns, wars, etc, etc and not lose our faith. I hang on knowing that I love Hashem with all my heart & all my soul and also with the knowledge that this is all a huge test from the Heavenly Courts, to see who remains loving, loyal to Hashem with a childlike quality. We must hang in there and forget about timelines. Do not put your focus there. Rather, just love Him unconditionally with Gratitude. We are all still breathing, with a roof over our heads and food on the table. Let us do Chessed & Mitzvot despite all the balagan around us. Geula will happen in a blink of an eye when we least expect it. Much Chizzuk to all of us in the meantime. Shoshana

I accept everything with much respect but also understand that Hashem can and may change the "game plan" towards Geula in the blink of an eye. The level of impurity in this world has already surpassed all measures. All up to Hashem. Shoshana

Miriam you have mis-quoted him, or misunderstood what he meant. He said "sometimes it can take 100 years". He did not say it would take 100 years now. You need to go back and listen from the 48 min mark.
Of course he doesn't think it's going to take another 100 years.

The few people who have ccommented and not had their comments published.... it is because they were disrespectful. If you want to disagree with Rabbi Kessin, by all means you are entitled to, but please do it respectfully and I will publish your comment.

At Rockefeller Centre in NY all the flags of the world have been replaced with pride rainbow flags for the month of June

To all my NY / Canada readers, I hope you are surviving the smoky air. NY has turned orange which is not surprising these days, and noting that orange is the colour of Edom [and Trump himself]. In fact half of America/Canada has turned orange from all the fires.

We have had days like that here in Sydney so I know what it's like.

The air has been throat-irritating, the haze an absolute first! Unlike the usual fog, this was a smoky-haze.

Very eerie, and calls to mind: קרב יום אשר הוא לא יום ולא לילה

Speak of Sodom, recently i was listening to Jesse Kelly on WOR-radio. He has a charismatic way of conveying harsh realities, often using analogies. (He was a marine in the Gulf War.) Anyway, he mentioned the way sundry isolated Americans were treated in the Philippines after WW2. IMO it was even worse than the way Sodom treated that girl by smearing her with honey. To phrase it mildly, in the Philippines they used honey too, then propped open Americans' mouths, which attracted fire ants.

Thank you, Devorah. I have never experienced anything like this in my whole life.

The entire sky was filled with smoke, and visibility was extremely low. Like a thick pea soup fog. It went dark in the middle of the day, and the sun was a strange glowing bright orange color. It felt much like an eclipse. It really does feel like something is about to happen.

Have you read in the news that the Pentagon is mobilizing thousands of military aircraft and sending them to bases in the Philippines and Poland? Could we be on the cusp of the direct involvement of NATO in the Ukraine/Russia war, and by extension the start of WWIII?

According to Rav Alexander Hole, Moshiach may be revealed on Tisha B'Av this year. Less than two months away.
