North Korea said on Wednesday it was injecting fuel into a long-range rocket "as we speak" ahead of a launch condemned by its neighbors and the West.

The launch is set to take place between Thursday and next Monday and has prompted neighbors such as the Philippines to re-route their air traffic just in case.

The Year of Revealed Truths
[Guest post from Daniel S.]

"Just as in the days when we left Mitzrayim, He will again show us wonders" [Michah 7:15]

The Sages in the Zohar Hakadosh [Holy Zohar] write that, in the Last Days, all the major historic enemies of Israel, such as Nevuchadnetzar, Sancherib, Haman [Ahmanedijad], and even Pharaoh, will all be brought back in one generation, as gilgulim [reincarnated souls], to fight against Israel one final time, this time to be destroyed forever, during the last generation of the complete and final redemption.

There are truly so many fascinating parallels one does not know where to begin. The Zohar writes about a general gilgul -- reincarnation [return] of all rishaim [evil regimes] in the End of Days - those who destroyed the Temples and many others as well. The specific return of Nevuchadnetzar, for example, is noted twice in Zohar Parshas Beshalach 58b.

To give you an idea of how the Zohar's words apply to our generation, the last generation:

It is known that Saddam Hussein had often stated that he was Nebucadnezzar II, king of Bavel and had, on two occasions, rebuilt his palaces [due to the damage during the Iraq wars] and engraved images of the ancient king next to his own on the protective outer walls of each. The sole propaganda print media in Iraq, for example, was run by Saddam’s son and was called “Babel.” All of the many tank divisions in his army were named after great Babylonian kings. His most infamous, “feared” Iraqi guard divisions went by the name of “Nebucadnezzar.” Imprinted on all of Saddam's minted coins was the phrase “2500 years of glory: From Nebuchadnezzar to Saddam Hussein.”

Given that Saddam has already fought his wars against Israel and was embarrassed in front of the entire world, and finally executed a few years ago for this and numerous other reasons, I am assured that we are so close to the End.

In that vein, let us speculate who the Sages might say that Pharaoh is in our day. Below are pictures of the final Pharaoh of the 18th dynasty, that, all archaeologists agree, brought the millennium-long rule of the Egyptian superpower to a sudden inexplicable close. The actual Pharaoh of the Exodus, named Akhenaten [Adiakim according to one Midrash], ruled for four years from 1312-16 BCE when his kingdom was destroyed and abandoned. This span of time is extremely close to Egypt's own time-line record, as the year of the Exodus indeed occurred in 1312, the year unanimously agreed upon by all of our Sages.

It was his grandmother who likely raised him and his son, Prince Tut [mistakenly called “King” Tut], who died 'suddenly' at the age of 19 from a very rare form of malaria, according to recent DNA testing. This “disease” should actually be called “makas bichoros” -- “smiting of the firstborn”.


According to one Midrash, he intriguingly ruled for just four years [until the Exodus]. Here is a corroborating archaeological record from Egypt7000bc : ”Ekhanaton, or Amenhotep IV, was the son of Amenhotep III. In the fourth year of his rule, he chose the place of the new capital, and proceeded to build it in year five naming his new kingdom... El Amarna.” In Hebrew this means “G-d declared it to be so.” So, by the fourth year of this final regime, they completely decimated and destroyed their own kingdom, all the while not listening to the good advice of all those around them. Their main obsession and focus of their harshness and evil dictates, was solely against the children of Israel from among all the other nations of the world. Sound all too familiar?

Clearly our guy [very tall and thin]:


Now to view some pictures of his partner Michele Obama: Note, these older images, forensically reproduced from her mummified remains, are of when she was Pharaoh's mother, or possibly grandmother. Recall that Obama was raised by his grandmother. Since the world, at the time, was in a state of the 49th level of tumah [impurity] – perhaps they were all married at various points from an incestuous viewpoint. Midah kineged midah – measure for measure - justice, she returns finally as his actual wife. She is literally hand in hand with Akhenaten at religious ceremonies and state occasions in all the artwork left behind.





As President, Obama first spoke to the world from, of all places, Cairo, the capital of Egypt. Using this opportunity to make a global statement to dictate to Israel regarding the disallowing and delegitimizing of building homes for Jews in their own tiny country. "Any nation, including Iran" he shouted, "should have the right to nuclear power, since the US has no right to dictate to foreign sovereign nations" [excepting Israel since in his eyes they are not yet a legitimate nation]  - see video below.


Obama later went on a tour that included the site of the city "El Amarna" built by the last Pharoah, Akhenaten. In Hebrew, "El Amarna" means "G-d declared it so". Akhenaten built this new city in northern Egypt, far removed from his old, dead kingdom full of his idols and palaces, as a testament to his new monotheistic belief in one God, and in the hope of revolutionizing all of Egyptian culture and belief.

Discovered amongst the excavations of the Royal Tomb of Amarna was a letter addressed to Akhenaten from the Canaanite kings. They were begging for last words of advice, as the tribes of Israel had begun to enter their lands. This just shows us how long Hashem allowed Pharoah to live after the Exodus [40 plus years], sufficient time to build a new city dedicated to One God. Many secular people naively call Akhenaten the Father of Monotheism, despite our father Avraham having preceded him by 500 years.

The family: The images of their two eldest daughters, who likely were present during the Exodus (derived from the fact that they alone consistently accompany them in the ancient carvings), were likewise forensically reconstructed from their mummified remains. They are eerily identical in both appearance and age to the first couple's current offspring, Malia and Sasha. [see bottom right of picture below]


More info some of which is accurate, some not, can be found at Tour Egypt

Admittedly, the parallels are truly intriguing. But why has Hashem indeed appointed Obama to be in charge over us at the end?

Midrash Sefer HaYashar 71:12-16: At the point in time when Moshe had to flee Egypt due to Lashon Hara [evil gossip]: “And Aharón his brother alone remained in the land of Mitzráyim, and he predicated to the sons of Yisroel, saying: Thus says Hashem the Mighty One of your fathers: ‘Throw away, each man, the abominations of his eyes, and do not defile yourselves with the worshipped images of Mitzráyim!’

And the sons of Yisroel rebelled and would not hearken to Aharon at that time. And Hashem thought to destroy them, were it not that He remembered the covenant which He had made with Avraham, Yitzchak, and Yaakóv.

In those days the hand of Pharaóh continued to be severe against the sons of Yisroel, and he crushed and oppressed them until the time when Hashem sent forth His Word and took notice of them.”

The gematria [numerical letter value] of פרעה [Paraoh] is 355 +1 im hakollel [for the name itself] equals 356- so too does Barak Obama: ברק אובמה

And what about the reason for Ahmanedijad or, for that matter, all the many evil regimes currently poised against us?? See the B'raita in Talmud Sanhedrin 97b and Kol Hator 4:3 - If we don't repent of our own volition: “Hashem will erect harsh enemies like Haman that will rule over them with many decrees, forcing them to come to teshuva, in the End.”

Finally, due to his “illegitimate background” [having possessed unique non-polytheistic beliefs], Akhenaten was erased from the ancient record of Egyptian kings.

To all of you awaiting Mashiach while completing your teshuvah: We are so very close that this has truly been the beginning of the “year of revealed truths,” to become even clearer in increasing stages over the next few years. Watch events carefully as they culminate with the sudden rise of Mashiach ben Yoseph...whose name has the same gematria as Barack Obama...

b'mhaira b'yamainu, Amen.

The Book of Adam


Before the time of the Baal Shem Tov, lived a saintly, holy Jew, known as Reb Adam Ha Tzaddik. Rabbi Adam had mastered Torah and secrets of Kabbalah, but was still not satisfied. He pleaded with The Almighty: "Father in Heaven! I beg of You to open the innermost secrets of the Torah so that I may bring honor and glory to Your name."

One night, Rabbi Adam had a dream in which he stood in The Ma'aras Ha'Machpelah - the burial place of Adam and Eve, Abraham and Sarah, Isaac and Rebecca, and Jacob and Leah. He saw lying before him 'HaSefer Ha'Adam - THE BOOK OF ADAM", in which is contained the TETGRAMATON - the secret, mystical name of the Eternal Being. Only six others were worthy of its secrets: Adam, Abraham, Joseph, Moses, Joshua and King Solomon. Rabbi Adam studied the book and its secret knowledge was revealed to him.

He then asked: "After I am gone from this world, to whom should I pass on these secrets of The BOOK OF ADAM?" A heavenly voice replied: "Seek Rabbi Israel, son of Rabbi Eliezer, who lives in Okup. He is worthy to receive it".

The next day, Rabbi Adam wrote down all he had learned. He then called his son and said, "When I take leave from this world, take this BOOK OF ADAM to Israel, son of Eliezer, who lives in Okup. This book will belong to him. After Rabbi Adam departed from this world, his son followed his father's request and gave the holy manuscript to The Baal Shem Tov.

In his time, Rabbi Adam was known as a man of great wisdom even among the non-Jews. The ruler of the adjoining land, a Kaiser, occasionally asked for his counsel. Once, when Rabbi Adam was summoned to the Kaiser's castle, after offering his opinion on a certain matter, he invited the Kaiser to a banquet in his home. To the surprise of the ruler's attendants, the Kaiser accepted the invitation, and a date was set for the following week. Then Rabbi Adam returned home to prepare for the Banquet.

Rabbi Adam lived in a very small, modest house - hardly suitable to entertain royalty. After purifying himself by immersing in a mikvah, Rabbi Adam fell into a deep state of meditation using secret powers entrusted to him through the Book of Adam.

He envisioned a king who lived in a large palace. This king wished to invite the ruler of the neighboring land for a banquet. The king instructed his servants to prepare a grand banquet. In a large banquet hall stood a large table bedecked with gold dishes. The king arranged for the neighboring land's king to attend his banquet on a certain date - the same day the Kaiser would visit Rabbi Adam.

Among the Kaiser's ministers was one who held a well-known hatred for Jews. He tried his best to dissuade the Kaiser from visiting Rabbi Adam: "Your Excellency, the Rabbi lives in a tiny two room house in a village. It is not fitting your honour to dine in such a setting." But the Kaiser recognized Rabbi Adam's wisdom and enjoyed their discussions, so he paid no attention to his minister. As the royal entourage traveled towards Rabbi Adam's town, the minister tried to convince the Kaiser to abandon the idea and return home to the palace. In the course of the journey, the Kaiser began to wonder how he and all his attendants would be able to dine in such a small house. He instructed one of his guards with the fastest horse to ride ahead and to report back as to the banquet preparations.

The messenger soon returned and reported that Rabbi Adam's house was a small shack and he did not see any special preparations being made. The Kaiser was now unsure, but as they were almost at their destination, decided to continue towards Rabbi Adam's home.

As the royal carriage entered the small town, the residents stood in disbelief: The Kaiser himself was in their town! As the Kaiser's carriage turned onto the street where Rabbi Adam lived, he beheld a magnificent palace! The Kaiser stepped out of his golden carriage with a great smile. Servants took the horses to the stables, while palace waiters silently escorted the Kaiser and his attendants to the banquet hall.

Rabbi Adam awaited the Kaiser in the banquet Hall, and soon the Kaiser and his court were sitting with Rabbi Adam enjoying the lavish feast.

Rabbi Adam then said, "I welcome you all to this palace of my King, and I invite you all to eat and drink to your fill! But I have one request. Please do not remove any of the table settings from the room."

Following the feast, Rabbi Adam turned to the Kaiser: "Any person among you who has a particular wish should say to me - 'I want this, or I want that' - and then put his hand in the pocket of his coat, and he will find the object that he wished for."

The Kaiser was first. He wished for a gold watch - and found it in the pocket of his coat. The ministers were beside themselves with excitement: They each told the Rabbi their requests, and each received his specific request.

When it was the turn of the minister who hated Jews, after telling Rabbi Adam his wish, he reached into his pocket, but screamed as he felt something disgusting! He quickly pulled out his hand covered with putrid slime! The smell was nauseating! He ran to wash his hand, but try as hard as he could, he could not rid himself of the foul smell that overtook his whole body.

The minister turned to Rabbi Adam: Pleas help me! I am going to faint from this stink!"

Rabbi Adam then said: "If you will swear to me in front of your master, the Kaiser, never to express your hate for the Jewish people again, I will help you. If not, you will bear this filthy odour for the remainder of your life." The minister began to wail - and then swore never to express hate for the Jewish people again.

Then Rabbi Adam told him: "There is only one remedy. To take the urine from a Jew. You will wash in it and this will take away the smell." And so it happened.

The Kaiser decided to test the Rabbi's request, and hid two gold cups from the banquet table in an inner pocket of his coat. The Kaiser thanked their host, and departed. As soon as they turned the corner, the palace and all that it held, disappeared. Only two gold cups were missing.

Word of the strange events spread throughout the land - that an unknown king with an unknown palace had suddenly appeared, and then again disappeared - except for two missing gold cups. Sometime later, the Kaiser sent a letter to the "unknown" king in which he wrote: "A Rabbi brought us to your palace, where we ate and drank your fine food and wine. As a sign of my respect, I am returning to you your two gold cups."

And so it was.

Behold, Days Are Coming

HT: Joe

Passover Miracles? You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet! 
by Rabbi Tuly Weisz 

While we all love and enjoy Passover, Jewish tradition says something surprising about the future of this beloved holiday. According to one opinion in the Talmud, at the end of times, we are not even going to talk about the Exodus from Egypt anymore because those miracles will be entirely overshadowed by what G-d has in store for us. Blood, frogs, lice… that’s nothing compared to what the Almighty has planned for the future redemption of the Jewish people. How could there be any miracles greater than the 10 plagues?! How could anything top the splitting of the sea?! 

The answer lies in a close reading of Jeremiah 23: ’Behold, days are coming’, says the Lord, ‘when they will no longer say, ‘As G-d lives, who brought the Jews out of the Egypt,’ but, ‘as G-d lives, who raised and returned the Jews from the northern lands and from every country into which I had driven them, and they will dwell on their own Land.’ 

What will make the future redemption even greater than our Exodus from Egypt is that it will be accompanied by the greatest biblical miracle ever imagined: the In-gathering of the Exiles. 

After 2,000 years of separation from the Land, it would be historically unprecedented if even a small number of Jews were to rediscover our ancient homeland. However, Jeremiah promises that Jews will return, not only as an isolated community here and there, but from all four corners of the world! On the most basic level, this pipe dream would have been logistically impossible just one century ago: the communication and transportation challenges were insurmountable. 

There was no one language to communicate with all of world Jewry, and even if there was, there was no way to reach all of them spread out to the far flung corners of the earth. And even if you could reach them, there was no good way to get to the Promised Land, and even if somehow large numbers of Jews got there, there was not even the most basic infrastructure to absorb them: there were no modern roads, plumbing or any other kind of industry to speak of. The list goes on and on. Who would have imagined that in the last century entire Jewish communities have picked up and resettled in the Land of Israel, just as the prophet described, and for for the first time since Jeremiah spoke those words, a majority of the world’s Jewry lives under a Jewish government, in one of the most advanced countries in the world?! 

The first Israeli Chief Rabbi Avraham Yitzchak Kook zt"l [1865-1935] explained that this is precisely why the miracle of our future/current redemption is even greater than the miraculous Exodus. It would have been easier for G-d to break the laws of nature like He did with the Ten Plagues and the Splitting of the Sea, than to orchestrate our return to Israel through natural means. Yet, He has begun to do just that with the miraculous restoration of the Hebrew language, the in-gathering of Jews from Arab and African countries, the upheaval of the Holocaust and the rebirth of the Jewish State after 2,000 long years of exile. 

Passover is our time to explore the miracles that G-d performed for us long ago and appreciate His active role in our own lives as well. Those of us fortunate enough to live in this generation where we see with our own eyes the fulfillment of these grand Biblical prophesies were put here for a reason and must not merely stand by as passive onlookers. This Passover, make a commitment to connect with Israel, pray for Israel, support Israel and play a leading role in the most exciting drama of human history and the greatest Biblical miracles ever described.

IDF on Full Alert for Pesach


The IDF is making preparations to celebrate the holiday of Passover, which commemorates the ancient Israelites’ exodus from slavery in Egypt. Although Jewish people worldwide will be celebrating Passover with friends and family, many IDF soldiers will not able to do so because IDF Chief of Staff Benny Gantz has ordered all IDF units to cancel their usual Passover vacation. 

All IDF units are expected to remain on full alert due to unspecified security threats, possibly from Gaza. Israel has previously come under attack during Jewish holidays, including the 1973 Yom Kippur war and the terrorist attack during Passover in 2002.
