It made me smile... smart son...

'Yesterday here in Lakewood a Chasid was visiting his motherin the local hospital as evening approached,the floor nurse asked him to leave as regulations require that a man cannot be in the room if there are two female pateints there-He responded that on that on that day he defined himself as female-The nurse swallowed hard and returned to her station--The supreme court of Israel the wise people of whom they are the wisest of the wise never declared who they are and what they are on any given day.'

Miriam your comment is way too depressing for Purim. Relax. "Everything will be ok in the end, and if it's not ok, then it's not the end." Purim is only just starting in Israel.
Most of all Tracht gut vet zein gut. Think good and it will be good.
You are thinking way too negatively about everything.

Wasn’t trying to be negative. Just stating that Ari Goldwag’s prediction can’t be correct since Adar aleph already ended and Adar bet is halfway through. Maybe I misunderstood his lecture about what he predicted for Adar.

I can't remember what he predicted for Adar. All I know is he said Geula in Nissan.

I'm going to give you a quote from Queen Elizabeth II - she said " That's the thing about unhappiness. All it takes is for something worse to come along and you realize it was actually happiness after all."

Whenever Geula happens, and I believe it is sometime this year, what we need to be doing right now is appreciating what we have. Appreciate everything you have, like the fact you have running water, food when you need it, a roof over your head, safety and comfort. There are countless people in the world who have none of that. We need to stop complaining and start appreciating. When we do that, EVERYTHING looks better.

Good advice Devorah,
Thank you!
I especially like the part where you write of countless people who have nothing. In some countries, no homes, nothing..

Thus giving thanks to God is the right and best and real thing to do..Amen.

Torah too teaches, to give thanks in everything.

Sometimes i even feel, wish things would move to becoming better soon ..
and like Miriam, i too keep wishing something good happens soon...

God bless all the peoples of the world... Amen.

From Israel National News this morning:

Security Council to vote on resolution demanding humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza
The resolution is backed by Russia and China. A vote is expected on Monday.

The resolution, put forward by the 10 elected council members, is backed by Russia and China, who on Friday vetoed a US-sponsored resolution that supported "an immediate and sustained ceasefire" in Gaza.

The 22-nation Arab Group at the UN issued a statement appealing to all 15 council members "to act with unity and urgency" and vote for the resolution "to halt the bloodshed, preserve human lives and avert further human suffering and destruction."

The fulfillment of Gog U Magog?

Things are really catapulting very fast now towards the grand finale..

A frielichen Purim Devorah and all followers! We should see great things! V'nahafoch Hu!

Devorah said...

Yes CS it's really happening. At the same time as a second solar system is visible from earth. When you believe it, you'll see it! Amazing photos coming through now. I'll share soon.

Sorry but nothing is going to happen. The solar eclipse, pesach... etc and another date with pass and nothing will change. I was convinced that moshiach would come on 2012, like 100% convinced and here we are 12 years later... absolute truth blogger , (who is now deceased) also talked about the "imminent" arrival of "nibiru" star system: that was like 5 years ago. My point is not to get obsessed with dates because you WILL be disappointed. Also the existence of medinat israel MIGHT actually DELAY the coming of the moshiach.

Anonymous said...

This is unbelievable that you actually believe that the existence and the tremendous growth of Eretz Yisrael could delay the coming of Moshiach. You’re looking at the greatest prophechy of what will be right before Moshiach- Eretz Yisrael flourishing with so many built up communities and thriving with Jewish life! The Geulah is right in front of us and about to happen!

This thought puzzles me...

Many are thinking that we are in last days, and horrible things are happening, but... when i am outside for some food shopping and buying things... to store just in case... one sees people middle aged, and young teens, going about their lives, and living as usual.

Even people around my neighbourhood, no panic, walking their dogs, etc; and i wonder what is right... even relatives of mine living their everyday lives, planning for holidays and stuff etc;

Some to whom i try to tell to be sort of prepared, i am looked on as paranoid..

This puzzles me.. what to make of this...?


Devorah said...

These are just regular people. Those of us who are anticipating Moshiach are a very small minority. Regular people are just living their lives, they don't have a clue about anything. Most of them just work to make money to pay the bills, and these days there is still not enough money so they keep working and working.
Then there are those who only care about themselves anyway, they shut out all news of wars believing it is happening to others and not them, so it's not relevant.
Holidays, life as normal, nothing changes for them.
I used to try to educate people but gave up because they'd just think I'm being dramatic or something. That's why we have blogs, so those of us who understand can be together and talk about it.

Toda, Devorah,

Thank you for helping.

Yes.. I will stop puzzling and stay as close to Torah and Hashem, and blogs that lead us to the truth of Torah.

Toda, and Hashem bless you and your blog and all the Chosen ones, and others who follow Hashem, Amen v'Amen.

P.S: have to try harder to chase that darn yetza hara, who tries creeping in,
and work on more emuna.

Shalom. Just wanted to comment that just because it seems that they are going about their usual lives does not at all mean that they don’t anticipate Moshiach and know that it’s very close. You can’t read their minds and I can assure you that the vast majority of frum Jews truly want Moshiach to arrive and most of them know all the signs are here and that we are close. It’s just a difference between some people that prefer to discuss it a lot and some people less. Think positive because I can assure you most of these people you’re referring to want Moshiach and they realize that’s he’s close! Think positive about them!

An incredible era of yemos hamoshiach is coming any moment!

Replying to Shifra,

I was referring to mostly non Jewish people, where i live.

Also lots of non Jews, like many christians and others too perhaps, do believe that the time of this world is coming to a close, but... they believe in their idea of a messiah, whom they think that came down and believe solemnly, that it was the Creator Himself, coming as man, and dying for the sins of all manking.

Which, of-course, is not true...

And whoever invented this so called religion, had a purpose in mind, to lead us away from Hashem, the One and ONLY Creator.

There is NO OTHER only HaShem..

By the by... I am Noahide.

The amalek outside which is religio supremacism will be destroyed only when the amalek supremacy within Judaism is destroyed. The sanctification of yom rishon Sunday by Christianity was aneccesary part of the work of holy torah.the binding of the malach hamaves.the wingvof the kerub in the sky now may also be a scepter and a sword of justice. All people must cease throwing hate at each other including that within Judaism. America is a sacred place. The entire eretz is kadosh. The intolerance and even hate of some folks in the frum community for other kinds of Jews must cease (and vice versa )for the blessings of geulah to rain upon the holy Earth.
