The Star of Moshiach

Rabbi Yuval Ovadia

This video has been over-dubbed with an english voice-over.  It comes on automatically for me, I don't know if that is the case for everyone, you may have to adjust the settings. The over-dubbing has resulted in strange noises being heard in the background, I wouldn't normally put up a video with this bad sound quality going on, but it's interesting information. 

I haven't listened to this yet, but I do want to say - again - that there is an entire solar system spinning round above us and it is clearly visible, if you know you know..... and this is the "Nibiru" system.  I have always thought that this is connected to the End Times, and also to the Star of Moshiach.  

Over to Rabbi Ovadia, who is speaking about the Star of Moshiach according to the Sources.

The Fall of Iran and the Coming of Moshiach

 

Rebbi said that in the future Rome will fall at the hands of Persia…. Rav said that Persia will fall at the hands of Rome. Rav Kahana and Rav Asi said to Rav: Can the builders [Persia, who permitted the rebuilding of the Holy Temple] fall before the destroyers [Rome, who destroyed the Temple]?![4] He said to them: Yes, it’s a decree of the King.[5] 

Tosefos[6] reiterates that Persia is the nation destined to fall and adds a critical element: “We were told that in the future Persia will fall at the hands of Rome, that is, at the time of the coming of Moshiach.” Meaning, it’s not just one of many future events, but an event immediately preceding (-סמוך ל) the coming of Moshiach!

Have You Heard?

People have been asking Alexa - "how many days until Christmas 2026?"

And Alexa answers: "There are no Christmas holidays in 2026."



I personally do not have Alexa, and my daughter's Alexa no longer works, so I haven't asked, but you're welcome to go ahead and see for yourself.  Let me know what it tells you.


Psychic Connections



Reb Yisrael Yaakov said that the Heavenly signs that inform a person of his spiritual level do not exist in our times. My teachers told me that today we shouldn't concern ourselves with the meaning of dreams. But the Brisker Rav did because, as he said, his father had a Shulchan Aruch on thoughts. For some people, dreams still have meaning.

There is another form of extra-sensory perception that's not as mystical as Ruach HaKodesh or dreams - the capacity to feel fear though the cause of that fear is far away. Rabbi Ephraim Epstein, the brother of the Levush Mordechai, told me that at the time of the Hebron Massacre of 1929, he woke up in the middle of the night and sat trembling in fear at the edge of his bed without any idea what was wrong. The next morning he learned that his son, who was learning in Hebron at the time, had been killed in the pogrom.

This, he said, is what the Gemara [Bava Basra 16b] meant in relating that the friends of Iyov knew when to come visit him because something was wrong with their tree. We see from this how strongly one person can be connected with another.

Mad World

Art: Mike Worrall

I know, you've probably read this before, but I just felt like this one today.


"A king was informed by his chief minister that there had been blight on the crops that year. They were affected so greatly that anyone eating the grain would become insane. "But" said the minister, "there is no need for us to worry. I have set aside enough grain from last year's harvest for the both of us that will last until the harvest of the following year."

The king shook his head. "No," he said. "I will not allow myself any privileges other than those shared by my subjects.  "We shall eat of the same grain," the king continued, "and we shall both go insane together with the rest of the population. But here is what we shall do. You and I will mark our foreheads with an indelible imprint, so that when we go insane, I will look at you and you will look at me and we will know we are insane."
[Rebbe Nachman of Breslov]

Tell Me We're Living Moshiach Times.....


 ...without telling me we're living in Moshiach Times.


I turned on the TV, just whatever station came up, no idea what I was watching.... and then the ads came on.  The first ad was this -


It then continues with a voice-over explaining what a mitzvah is:

What is a “Mitzvah”? In Jewish tradition, a Mitzvah is an act of kindness, compassion, and a moral responsibility. It is about taking practical action to help others, through simple, everyday acts of kindness that together create a powerful wave of goodwill. When these acts are carried out collectively, they strengthen the community and bring light in moments of darkness. This can be as simple as checking in on a neighbour, volunteering time, offering support to a local business, or donating to those in need.

I can't find a video of the actual ad on the internet, but I'll keep looking.  Anyway, that's what it said, and it was going out on National Australian TV at a prime time, courtesy of the NSW Government lead by the Hon. Chris Minns.  He's the guy that Rabbi Weiss blessed here [first video there]. And Chris Minns has definitely made himself a keili for that bracha with his speedy action on the Mitzvah campaign.

The Lubavitcher Rebbe would be so proud of this.

Reminds me of the Rebbe's billboard campaign in 1996.
