When Yishmael Will Fall



The end of last week's Parsha finishes with the words, "Al Pnei Kol Echov Nafal" - "Over all his brothers he [Yishmael] shall fall". 

This week's Parsha starts with the words, " ViEileh Toldos Yitzchak" - "And these are the offspring of Yitzchak". 

Baal HaTurim explains the connection. "Al Pnei Kol Echov Nafal" - when Yishmael - [the Arabs] will fall, then, "ViAyleh Toldos Yitzchak" - Mashiach Ben David will come from the descendants of Yitzchak. 

The fall of Yishmael is a prerequisite for the coming of the Mashiach.

  1. I don't really understand this. I've never seen the word, "toldot" translated as "offspring". It means history or chronicles.

    1. At a stretch, offspring can imply history and chronicles.
      Unfortunately that Revach site, where it came from, no longer exists.

    2. Yeah, you have to expand the meaning to include future history (descendants).

  2. The true authentic and original Arabs are Arabia.

  3. Oops I accidentally posted before I had finished the comment.
    The original authentic Arabs are from Saudi Arabia. So does that mean SA has to be destroyed or the entire Moslem world? What are we talking about here exactly?
    Also there is an argument on whether Esav destroys Yishmael or the other way around...so how does that fit in.
    Also, when Rabbi Kessin said that something went wrong...what does that mean for the timeliness?

    1. Everything is so confusing. I just know one thing for sure, because I saw it in a dream about 15 years ago, not understanding it then. Trump will fall.
      Whether that means he will die, or he will fail, or his reputation will be in shreds, I don't know, but his end is not good.

    2. I believe that as well.
      And after selling Am Yisroel out to both Qatar and Syria with his Erev Rav son in law Kushner it will be richly deserved.
      I don't understand Jewish people being a part of the Trump cult....he didn't give us Jerusalem, it was already ours, from Hashem. And everything he's done comes with an ulterior motive.
      He had a literal terrorist as a guest in the white House and was shpritzing him with perfume like the best of buddies. Wake up Yidden!! We have no friends only Hashem.

    4. Did you read any of the comments underneath that video? [the video is of Trump spraying cologne on the Syrian President and asking how many wives he had]

  4. Without the fall of Edom (Western World, Christianity) Machiach cannot come; the Torah is very clear on this matter.

  5. Chabad explains that "Toldot" means generations. So it also means offspring or descendants.

  6. Anonymous: which nuvi are you sourcing from? I agree I heard it.
    But I think just bf that is the ingathering of the exiles. That they are saved from the destruction.
    And the Beis Hamikdash could be simultaneous to that...or even 1st.
    Also I believe MBD is here with us, in receipt of his nevua but must stay hidden...or they will kill him for sure.

  7. Just to repeat, no one knows who MBD is. He even might be coming from Shamayim. It is not like MBY who can be
    any Jew or even the army of Yisrael could be considered as a MBY. Or MBY (if there will be one) can turn out to be
    MBD (if he is from the Royal house of Dovid, The role of MBD is literally Divine.

  9. Original Yishmaelim of Saudi Arabia are to do teshuva. Also from DBL: “… UNSC …calls for an international force to disarm Hamas and, I believe, to establish Palestine. (Neshama)

  10. Plus, I read a long time ago (of course removed) that Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud had Jewish mother. Anyone comment on this? (Neshama)

    1. There is a story that a very long time ago, a Jewish merchant traveling through Arabia met and married a woman from Arabia. They say there are chronicles that confirm this. So, by reform Jews, the Saudi royal family would be Jews, but of course not by halacha.

  11. In 2018, a Notzrim American journalist called Mike Evans said that when he met MBS, the Saudi Prince told him that as a child his nanny was an "Evangelical Ethiopian Jew". He used the word "Mother" to mean "Nanny."
    I have no idea what an Evangelical Ethiopian Jew is...perhaps a Falash Mura (halachically Jewish but practising Xtianity) or something else entirely?
