About the Moon Last Night

This is not my photo, I wish it was.  I didn't even see the moon last night, too many clouds.

Waking up the Israelis !

Someone asked why the "Nibiru effect" is not happening in Israel. It is ! Here are some videos of amazing lightning strikes in Eilat and in the desert, I think they are mostly from May 28. 

The system brings these incredible storms with non-stop lightning. 

And if anyone thought the photos in Absolute Truth were photoshopped or AI, here's a video of the giant sun halo in the UK

Moshiach's Arrival: The Signs and Time Frame

HT: LL

Rabbi Lawrence Hajioff

Absolute Truth

For those of you who have been reading Geula Blogs for a while, you will remember R. Menachem Robinson a"h and his blog "The Absolute Truth".  

R. Menachem gave us so much information about Nibiru back in 2016 [when it was visible in the sky] and seven years later in 2023 it is much more so, because the system is incredibly close to Earth.  The fact that people got excited in 2016 and nothing happened has resulted in people disbelieving it now, to their detriment, because they are missing some really exciting visions in the sky.  

I have selectively copied information on Nibiru which R. Menachem wrote 7 years ago, and which I think is worthwhile re-reading from our perspective in 5783, and where possible I have included videos taken this year.  I have also only included information which corresponds to whatever is actually happening now. 

If you want to read the original posts at The Absolute Truth, click on this link and it will take you to all the 'Nibiru' posts on his blog.

All of the following in italics is by R. Menachem Robinson a"h written in 2016, and I have added some current videos and some updates in brackets.

This is not just a star that is approaching, but a solar system. Nibiru, which is the dwarf companion binary star to our sun, is actually a solar system. There have been planets seen in the area of Nibiru, meaning that it is a separate solar system with its own planets. How many? Only Hashem and probably NASA know. Why the big mystery, why is this information being kept from us? [Note: latest information suggests there are 7 planets, some with moons]

I mentioned the Star of Jacob in the Torah and the Zohar telling us that in the end of days a star will appear and devastate the world, and it will be followed by Moshiach. That prophecy just happens to have the word "Nibiru" encoded in it. The Prophet Malachi, is telling us about a star of righteousness that will heal the righteous people, and wipe out the evil of the world. Nibiru just happens to be encoded in that prophecy. 

Daniel telling us that the statue representing the evil powers of the world and how that statue will be destroyed, in other words as before, the demise of the evil 2/3rd of the world population. Guess what is encoded in that prophecy? 

The fact that I found 414 places in Tenach, the Jewish Bible, where "Nibiru" is encoded, including 105 in the Torah alone. 

Look at the prophecy in Numbers 24:17 where Balaam is telling us that in the end of days the Star of Jacob will come. It is important to understand that this star is the announcement of the Messiah. Your so-called New Testament plagiarized the idea by calling it the Star of Bethlehem, but it has been verified that Nibiru was not here about two thousand years ago. The second important fact is that Nibiru is encoded in the Torah right across that verse about the star. [Here is the video of Rabbi Glazerson showing this encoding @ 1:50 ]

Hashem has given many other proofs (actually hundreds), but I will only mention what I believe to be the most important. The end of the prophet Malachi, just before the verse telling us that Elijah the Prophet will come in the end before the great and awesome day of Hashem, it tells us [Malachi 3:20] about a sun of righteousness that will come to heal the righteous and wipe out the wicked. That verse also has Nibiru crossing it since the sun is Nibiru. We also have the verse in Zechariah 13:8 that tells us that 2/3rd of the world population will be erased (the wicked) and 1/3rd will survive (the righteous). Nibiru is there also.

As you can see these definite messages from Hashem refer to this star, Nibiru, which is here to bring in the world of goodness and truth, the worldwide redemption, the Messiah, the third Temple, and much, much more that we were told thousands of years ago would happen in the end. 

Let us look at the prophet Malachi 3:19-24 for interesting insight: 

19 For behold, the day is coming, burning like an oven, when all the wicked people and all the evildoers will be like straw; and that coming day will burn them up, says HASHEM, Master of Legions, so that it will not leave them a root or branch. 

20 But a sun of righteousness will shine for you who fear My Name, with healing in its rays, and you will go out and flourish like calves [fattened] in the stall. 

21 And you will trample the wicked, for they will be ashes under the soles of your feet, on that day that I bring about, say HASHEM, Master of Legions. 

22 Remember the Torah of Moses My servant, which I commanded him at Horeb for all of Israel [its} decrees and [its] statutes. 

23 Behold, I send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and awesome day of HASHEM.

24 And he will turn back [to G-d] the hearts of fathers with [their] sons and the hearts of sons with their fathers, lest I come and strike the land with utter destruction. 

Behold, I send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and awesome day of HASHEM. 

Malachi the last of the prophets in the Bible ends with these verses. We especially need to read verse 20. The key part of the verse is not that it says "the sun," but "a sun of righteousness." Nibiru is not a planet, but a dwarf star, A SUN. In other words this is stating that the healing will come from a sun that will be provided just as it was before the flood. This time the sun will change the position of the Earth back to being directly over the Equator (off of the present axis), and will give healing rays – no more sickness. Since sickness is an involuntary way of giving Tikun, it will not be needed any more. 

It is interesting that the same sun that will heal the righteous will be the sun that will burn the wicked. Whether that means actually burning them or the fact that it will provide a stream of rocks that will destroy them like brimstone coming down on them (a reference that is also used in the Bible). A more important thing to note is that the healing will happen from the sun and will probably be before “the great and awesome day of HASHEM.” That is why “Healing is number 8 and the great and awesome day is number 12 in the list of blessings above. The healing will be before the wicked are destroyed and before the ingathering of the exile, in other words wherever you are in the world and probably much sooner.

And this photo just received:  Massive sun halos that appeared the entire length & breadth of the UK on 28/05/23. ☀️ This one was photographed over the Millennium Bridge in Newcastle Upon Tyne.

Turn Away From Evil

Art Mike Worrall

To serve God, one must both ''turn away from evil'' and 'do good''.  But which of these steps is the most important? And which must be prioritized first of all? [Naso 4: 1-28]

The sequence of Kehos' and Gershon's descendants in the Torah provides the key to answer these questions.

Gershon is related to the Hebrew word Gerushin, meaning ''divorce'' alluding to the process of turning away from and ''divorcing'' oneself from evil.  Kehos means ''gathering'' [as in '''He will gather [yikhas] the people'' [Bereishis 49:10], alluding to the accumulation of good deeds - ''doing good''.

Gershon was the firstborn, indicating that at the outset, when one is just beginning to serve God, a person should stress the path of turning away from evil.  This is in order to thoroughly cleanse oneself from negative traits before one can begin to sanctify oneself properly with good deeds.

However, in the Torah, Kehos' descendants are placed before Gershon's descendants [see Midrash] to indicate that, ultimately, ''doing good'' is the ultimate goal which actively brings a person close to God, and makes this world a ''home'' for Him.

Ikvot Moshiach: The Time Immediately Before Moshiach

Because we need reminding, this is the world we live in.

Text by J. Immanuel Schochet

The time appointed by G‑d for the Messianic redemption is a closely guarded secret.1 Nonetheless, we are offered many hints to recognize its proximity: when certain conditions come about, await the imminent coming of Mashiach. 

Most of these conditions are quite disturbing, clearly displaying a situation of the very “bottom of the pit.”2 One major source describes the world-condition in those days as follows: increase in insolence and impudence; oppressing inflation; unbridled irresponsibility on the part of authorities; centers of learning will turn into bawdy houses; wars; many destitutes begging, with none to pity them; wisdom shall be putrid; the pious shall be despised; truth will be abandoned; the young will insult the old; family-breakup with mutual recriminations; impudent leadership.3 

Other sources add: lack of scholars; succession of troubles and evil decrees; famines; mutual denunciations; epidemics of terrible diseases; poverty and scarcity; cursing and blaspheming; international confrontations nations provoking and fighting each other.4 In short, it will be a time of suffering that will make it look as if G‑d were asleep. These are the birthpangs of Mashiach, bearable only in anticipation of the bliss that follows them. 

“When you see a generation ever dwindling, hope for him… when you see a generation overwhelmed by many troubles as by a river, await him.”5 “When you see nations fighting each other, look toward the feet of Mashiach.”6 

Little wonder that some sages expressed apprehensions about those days in terms of, “Let [Mashiach] come, but let me not see him.”7 The prevailing attitude, however, is to await his coming in spite of all, even if thereafter we shall merit no more than sitting “in the shadow of his donkey’s dung!”8 

The troubles and agony of chevlei Mashiach (birthpangs of Mashiach), however, are not unavoidable: 

“What is man to do to be spared the pangs of Mashiach? Let him engage in Torah and acts of loving-kindness!”9 

Moreover, there are also good and happy signs indicating the imminent coming of Mashiach: a good measure of prosperity;10 a renewal of Torah-study;11 and opening of the “gates of wisdom above and the wellsprings of wisdom below,”12 evidenced also by scientific and technological discoveries and advances; a manifestation and propagation of the mystical teachings of the Torah;13 and also “In the time that Mashiach will awaken, many signs and miracles will occur in the world.”14

3 Prophetic Signs We Are Living in the Times of Moshiach

HT: Sherry

Current: uploaded to You Tube today

In today's class Rabbi Moshe Chaim drops some 🔥 🔥 🔥 on the Chevra! 

Here we are discussing three powerful signs that we are literally living in the times of Moshiach! 

You may think it sounds ridiculous. "How could it be possible that we are in the times of Moshiach when he hasn't revealed himself?" 

Just you watch and see for yourself.

The Book of Ruth

 

Why is The Book of Ruth read on Shavuot? 

from the ME'AM LOEZ 

The Megillah of Ruth is read in shul [synagogue] on the festival of Shavuot, "the time of the giving of our Torah". 

What connection is there between Ruth and Matan Torah [the giving of the Law]? One answer is that the account of Ruth's marriage to Boaz testifies to the authenticity of the Oral Law rendered to Moshe Rabbanu at Sinai. 

The legitimacy of David and of the Mashiach depends on the halachic distinction "a Moabite, not a Moabitess," which is an oral tradition not recorded in the scripture. 

Our Sages declare that the book of Ruth is read on Shavuot to teach that the Torah is given only through affliction and poverty. "The Torah said before G-d: If the rich study me, they will grow haughty. But when the poor study me, they know they are hungry and lowly, and will not grow haughty." 

Ruth personifies the teaching that the Torah is perpetuated only by those who made do with little, suffer, and accept death for its sake. She joined the Jewish people and made do with barely, the bread of poverty; enduring wandering, want, and loneliness; and she cleaved to the Torah even if she would have to die for it, declaring, "Where you die, I will die" Therefore, she merited to have Solomon as her descendant, who made the Torah accessible to others through his wisdom. 

This too, we learn from Ruth: One should not study Torah in order to achieve honor and glory, although these will come. She cleaved to the bitter, destitute Naomi, and in the end attained honor and glory in this world and in the next. 

From Elimelech, on the other hand, we learn that one should not leave the land of Israel. Yet one may do so in order to study Torah. 

"How great is the illumination provided by the Torah!" exclaim our Sages. Gentiles abandon their vanities and convert in order to cleave to it; how much more so, then, we must exalt it and toil to possess it! Just as our forefathers accepted the Torah and entered a covenant with G-od through the ritual immersion, so too, did Ruth at her conversion. From the time she joined Israel "at the beginning of the barely harvest" [on Pesach, where the first-grain [the omer] of barely is offered] until the end of the barely harvest on Shavuot, she was purified and elevated during seven weeks from the Exodus on Pesach until Matan Torah on Shavuot. 

We learn as well not to look down on the convert. Rabbi Akiva was descended from converts, and according to the Midrash was worthy of having Torah given through him, had he not been preceded by Moshe Rabbanu. 

Thus the Midrash recounts that when Moshe ascended on high and saw Rabbi Akiva, he said to G-od, "You have such a one, yet You give the Torah through me!" 

Ruth's great grandson, David, is likened to Moshe Rabbanu. Whatever Moshe did, David did also. Moshe saved Israel from the Egyptian bondage, David, from the suppression by the nations. Moshe split the sea, David, the rivers. Moshe Rabbanu gave Israel the Five Books of the Torah, David, the five books of Psalms. 

Ruth was forty years old when she embraced the Torah, and perhaps it was her example that inspired Rabbi Akiva to begin learning Torah at the same age. Hence adults who receive no Torah education in childhood can draw courage to educate and immerse themselves in Torah. 

From Ruth's divinely chosen husband-the wealthy aristocratic Boaz, of whom it is written, "Boaz ate and drank, and his heart was glad [with Torah study], we learn that the rich, too, must occupy themselves with Torah learning. 

The story of Boaz and Ruth teaches that righteous women are equal to righteous men. Although women are not obligated to engage in Torah study, they can attain high spiritual levels, as did the beautiful Ruth, who, by carefully observing the laws of gleaning and scrupulously practicing modesty, merited to become the mother of royalty. 

The book of Ruth is read during the harvest season to remind us that Torah study is a prerequisite for prosperity. When "It came to pass in the days of the judging of the judges," which our sages explain as reflecting a weakening of Torah study, "there was a famine in the land." 

It also reminds us of the obligation of giving to the poor from the harvest, in accordance with the laws of peah, leket and shikechah [Leviticus 19:9-10]. Charity is particularly necessary and advisable at the completion of the days of Counting the Omer, a time of din, strict judgement, for it then protects the giver from the Attribute of Justice. Through charity and Torah study, Israel will merit the speedy coming of Ruth's descendant, the Mashiach.
