That's a very tempting question, so I'll answer it. My best and most hopeful GUESS is before the end of 2023, maybe Elul or TIshrei. Sigh. I wish I could predict that. NO idea though, because reality is reality and I don't get to make a guess.
You forgot about Rabbi Hool’s well researched prediction about this Tisha B’av being a very possible Keitz! Would be better if Moshiach came today. But if we have to wait until this Tisha B’av, we will all finally sigh great relief with tremendous comfort and joy.
You're right, I did forget, and that is because (1) I am exhausted and (2) I'm so focused on the 25th day of the 6th month (Elul) for the Kochav Yaakov. I hope Rabbi Hool's keitz is correct of course. It's just a keitz, it's not definite remember that.
The Gemarah talks about the Greatness of 15 Av and then struggled to justify its greatness - Perhaps HaShem is getting ready for the 15 Av.
From The Torah in year 40 in the desert No-One Died - they thought they had miscalculated and when they reached the 15 Av - they knew they did NOT miscalculate.
Both Pesach and Sukkos start on the 15 of the month - which is when the moon is full and Bnei Yisroel are always compared to the moon.
The 15th of Av is a special day it is related to Shidduchim/marriages and on a deeper level 40 days before a child is born a Bas Kol (heavenly voice) says this soul is destined for this soul. Therefore, Rosh Hannah being the creation of man means the 25th of Elul was the start of the creation of the world. 40 days before the creation of the world (i.e. 40 days before 25th of Elul is 15th Av) on that day Hashem says this soul/people are destined for me.
Wow Gershon, thank you. I have that 40 day thing in my head.... so 15 Av being 40 days before 25 Elul has just tied all our comments together. For some reason I never made that 40 day calculation on 25 Elul before you just told us.
As much as all of you are speculating, sometimes it's too painful... I thought for sure leil seder the year of covid I would wake up to Moshiach! So many times I let my mind adopt a time/date for the Geula...
Now I am trying to find a bit of the Geula now and every day, even if that bit is only my yearning. It's so tempting to want to grab onto a date, but I can't anymore... I love this blog and thank you Devorah for all your posts!
Just got to see this post but did not see the video yet. But, to answer why so much evil now. Chazal tell us that before the coming of Moshiach, H' will bring back the souls of the very wicked from the beginning of time, for their final judgment. That is why we are even seeing that sins that did not exist in societies since before the Great Flood have noq returned; that is the legitimazation of marriages between the same sex, etc. Sins of all kinds were always there on individual basis, but when society accepts these behaviors and it becomes the norm for society and are legalized, Hashem will not tolerate that. Just as Rabbi Mendel Kessin said in many of his videos, the world at the time of the flood had already deserved its punishment but the decree for destruction was 'sealed' when they made marriage contracts for such behaviors 'legal'. The evil of today is even worse than then. If the world does not wake up and repent, it will be disastrous. The punishment 5000 years ago was through 'water'; our Sages tell us, it would be with 'fire' at the end of times. But, all this need not happen if we repent and connect to Hashem.
"The sun's activity could peak 2 years early, frying satellites and causing radio blackouts by the end of this year, experts say
The sun is becoming more active and may reach peak activity sooner than expected.
Solar maximum was predicted to happen in 2025, but sunspot activity has changed that.
An unusual burst of sunspots this year suggests solar maximum could hit by the end of 2023.
The sun is growing more active, which is expected. Our sun has an 11-year cycle where it increases and decreases in activity. What's unexpected is how soon it will reach the solar maximum.
We're currently approaching solar maximum, when the sun reaches peak activity, which experts have previously predicted should happen in 2025.
But the sun's recent behavior suggests solar maximum will hit sooner than expected — by the end of this year.
According to Alex James, a solar physicist at the University of College London, "it's going to peak earlier and it's going to peak higher than expected."
Thanks for that CS, if you've seen the photos of the sun that I've put up here [ see Wonders label] you can see for yourself what the sun is actually looking like. Again, they are coming up with nonsense to hide the reality of what is going on in the Heavens. "The sun's recent behaviour" LOL.... it's not the sun, it's what is behind and around the sun that is causing this.

DeleteEliezer, If you were responding to my comment, i would not take a guess.
ReplyDeleteJust seeing where the world is today.
HaShem, knows when it will end.
This situation the world is now in, cannot go on ... it has to end, with coming hopefully soon, of the Mashiach.
Hashem have mercy on us.
Amen

Yes 15 Av is my father's yarzheit. Just saying.

ReplyDeleteBoruch: yes, well explained. All the shmutz from previous generations have returned now. That's why Moshiach must be close. How can it now be so?
