The Current Crumbling Process

Some excellent clarification on what is going on in the world, from Rav Itamar Schwartz of Bilvavi, can be found at Myrtle Rising:

Tzedaka is the Mitzvah at the End of Days

 

And now, at the end of the exile, the main way to release the Shechina and ourselves from the exile is through the mitzvah of tzedaka of which our great sages said, “Israel will be redeemed only through tzedaka.” 

Even though our sages equated tzedaka with Torah study, it was at a time when we had the great sages of the Mishnah and the Talmud, but our Torah study today is not at the level that can equal the mitzvah of tzedaka. 

And being that now we are at the end and the darkest part of the exile, the Shechina is found in the absolute lowest realms of the physical world, the only way to access it is through physical action, physical mitzvahs, and mainly the mitzvah of tzedaka.

That is just a small extract from an essay on the Haftorah of Acharei, you should read the whole thing which is here: Support the Fallen by Rabbi Yitzi Hurwitz.

All the Trouble

"All the trouble that comes from the world is from Gaza". [Zohar] "Redemption depends on the clarification of the sparks in Rafah."

This is a video that Ron linked to and it needs it's own blog post because what he is saying is incredible.

If I have the energy I'll try to type it up.  

I think this is Rav Moalem.

Dubai #2

Dubai was again hit with record flooding May 2nd 2024.  This follows the recent floods on April 16.

https://edition.cnn.com/2024/05/02/middleeast/uae-rain-storm-dubai-flights-disruption-climate-intl/index.html

Purple lightning again, just as there was in April.

In the first video you can see the purple flash

Sorry about the siren noise in this video, but it does capture the purple flash

Same thing in London, same day. Purple lightning.  No-one has seen purple lightning until recently. 

Purple = Atu.  Green = Napisiti.   Both of them cause severe flooding.  This is the weather system Hashem is using to flood parts of the world.  

and Qatar, same day.

Meanwhile, it's been raining here for days. We haven't had any lightning, just monsoon kind of weather.

Descent for the Purpose of Ascent

Yerida l'tzorich Aliyah

Descent for the Purpose of Ascent

No Pain No Gain

נס - Nes - Miracle

ניסיון - Nisayon - Trial

"All the affairs of the world, whether for the good or for the bad, are trials [nisyonos] for a man"… [Mesillat Yesharim* (Path of the Just) Rabbi Moshe Chaim Luzzatto]

When a person is destined to reach a level which is much higher than his present rung, it is necessary for him to undergo a descent first. [The Lubavitcher Rebbe]

Before a person experiences a miracle - נס - , he is given a trial - ניסיון. There is no ascent (aliyah) without a prior descent (yeridah). The lower the descent, the higher the potential ascent.

G-d tries the righteous, for knowing that the righteous will do His will, He desires to make them even more upright, and so He commands them to undertake a test, but He does not try the wicked, who would not obey.

Thus all trials in the Torah are for the good of the one being tried. [Nachmanidies, Commentary on the Torah; Genesis, p. 275; Chavel translation; ]

From here, we learn a number of important points. First, the purpose of a nisayon is not to reveal anything new to G-d, but to increase the spiritual reward of the person by bringing forth his or her latent greatness into actual deeds of righteousness.

Second, a person is only sent a nisayon that he or she has the potential to "pass," provided the person uses his free will properly.

Third (and this is implicit in the first point), the nisayon is intended for the good of the person—to elevate the person spiritually.

Nes can also be translated as "banner": The test is meant to "lift a banner" and reveal to the world, and to the person himself, the potential hidden within a human being.

Ancient Jewish prophecy about Iran, Israel, America, Saudi Arabia and the coming of the Messiah

Rabbi Shimon Kessin

This was given in 2013.

Even Today

by Rabbi Yisroel Bronstein

''With this shall Aharon come into the Sanctuary''  [Acharei 16:3]

The Jewish nation was ravaged with brutal and horrible pogroms in the year 5408 [1648 - the year commonly referred to as ''tach'' the numerical equivalent of 408].  Jews all over the world shook the Heavens with their prayers for an imminent redemption.

''I am quite certain'' remarked the great kabbalist R' Shimshon of Ostropoli, ''that we will indeed be redeemed this year, for the verse states: ''With this [b'zos] shall Aharon come into the Sanctuary.'' The numerical value of ''b'zos is four hundred and eight: ''tach'' !

When the year had passed and the redemption had not arrived, R' Shabsai Cohen [known as the ''Shach''] sent out a proclamation which stated:  ''The verse says 'This emanated from Hashem; it is wondrous in our eyes. This is the day Hashem has made' [Tehillim 118: 23,24].  ''This [zos] emanated from Hashem'' - the year tach was destined by Hashem - ''it is wondrous in our eyes'' - to be the year that we would witness the wonderful redemption of the Jewish nation.  However, ''Today is the day Hashem has made'' - we failed to repent as hinted to by the word ''today''.  

For Chazal recount in Maseches Sanhedrin [98a] that R' Yehoshua ben Levi asked Eliyahu HaNavi ''When will Mashiach come?''  ''Today!'' replied Eliyahu.  Later, Eliyahu explained that he was referring to the verse ''Even, today, if we but heed His call''.  When we repent wholeheartedly, we will be worthy of redemption.

''In our time as well'' concluded the Shach, ''we lacked the merit of repentance, which would have enabled us to have been redeemed this past year !''

The Sun in the Light of the Torah

This is Amnon from Alshich Academy speaking about the sun at the end of days.  

Strange things are happening around the sun, and this may shed some light [no pun intended] on things.  I wonder what we may see, soon I hope.  Thanks for sending it to me Amnon, very interesting.

An Eye for an Eye ???

The Jerusalem Post and other places report that Israeli official security and governmental sources told The Jerusalem Post on Friday: "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Israel retaliated where they were attacked.”

Could somebody please teach some Torah to Israeli official governmental sources..... "an eye for an eye" is not meant to be taken literally.  

עַיִן תַּחַת עַיִן "An eye for an eye" [Mishpatim 21:24]

The term "eye for an eye" explain Chazal [Bava Kamma 84a] is not meant to be taken literally - one who causes another the loss of an eye is not punished by having to lose his own eye.  Rather, it means that the responsible party must pay the monetary value of an eye.

Chazal's interpretation of this halachah, said the Vilna Gaon, is alluded to in the words of the verse.  Why does the verse state "Ayin tachas ayin" - which literally means "an eye beneath an eye" - and not "Ayin be'ad ayin" - which means "eye for an eye"?

The Torah, explained the Gaon, is hinting to us that in order to discover the true meaning of the verse, we must look at what is "beneath" the ayin, that is the letters that follow the word "ayin" עין:

The letter ayin ע is followed by the letter pei פ

The letter yud י is followed by the letter kaf כּ

The letter nun is ן followed by the letter samech ס

These letters form the word keseph - כּסף - money !

Thank You

I had a dream last night and hence this blog post.  

I want to thank Devorah Haggar from Chicago for the header for this blog, which she made for me a long time ago - so long ago that I can't even remember when it was.  She designed and put it together, and sent it to me, and it's been up there ever since.

I lost contact with her a long time ago, and because I've been through at least two computers since then, I have also lost a lot of contact details for people over the years.

So thank you Devorah Haggar. I don't know if you still read this blog, but I had a dream about you.

The Redemption Process: How it All Unfolds

Rabbi Mendel Kessin

Dubai

 

April 16 2024

Dubai International Airport 🇦🇪 has recorded nearly 160 mm (6.3 inches) of rain in the last 24 hours. For context, most of the Dubaï metro typically averages 3.5 inches per year. This is truly a historic event for the area.

This is where Hashem is reminding the mega-rich with their tallest buildings that they are no match for His power.

And no it's not cloud seeding, CERN or weather manipulation, which are the preferred conspiracy theories for this event.

It was Napisiti and Atu: green and purple respectively.  They blocked the sun, turned day into night, turned roads into rivers and the sky turned green.  Here's a few videos to show you how it looked.  This is real, nothing is photo-shopped or AI, we don't need to do that because Hashem is doing it for us.

This is Napisiti approaching. I've shown you this so many times before, it's obvious.

The strobe lightning

Pink lightning, it was very pink in the video which I couldn't download

Sky turned green

Day turned into night

Roads turned to rivers

Miracles of War, Freedom, Gerim and Kindness

Rabbi Yitzchak Breitowitz

Believe it or Not

I can't seem to stay off my blog, there is always something that needs to be said.

The miracle of the Iranian missiles causing very little damage and not even one death was over-looked and over-shadowed by all the conspiracy theories.  People chose to believe the conspiracies rather than acknowledge the incredible miracle that occurred.

That is called AMALEK.  Anything that causes you to doubt Hashem's power and an open miracle is Amalek.

I expect morons on the internet to think it was a conspiracy because they don't understand how Hashem protects Israel, they don't understand miracles, and they think it must have been a set-up because there is no other rational explanation for how so many missiles were sent but they were all blocked by Israel's defense system.  

I didn't expect that some orthodox Israelis and other Jews around the world,  especially those who are awaiting Moshiach, to agree with the conspiracy theories and point the finger at the Israeli government, claiming it was a plot and the world had been fooled into thinking it was really an attack.

I think people have stopped believing in miracles. Even though we are in the MONTH OF MIRACLES.

The other thing that annoys me is that people say to me that it is IMPOSSIBLE to believe that a second solar system is passing us by,  and that the world would be knocked off it's axis etc etc.   

Let me tell you.... nothing is impossible if Hashem is doing it. Hashem can do whatever He wants, and even if you think it can't be possible..... it is possible.

I see things in a different way to a lot of you.... sometimes I think I just want to get off the internet completely because I seem to be talking a different language or something.... but conversely that is the reason why I need to be here.

Miracles are happening all around us.  Look at the comment I posted here about Dubai, and the sun being blocked and the sky turning green and the airport being flooded like a river.  When have you ever seen the sky turn green?   Answer: only when Napisiti is above.  Because Napisiti is green, just like Atu is purple and gives us purple skies and purple lightning.

I don't care if it's IMPOSSIBLE.  It's happening and Hashem is doing it, just like Hashem controlled the missiles from Iran.  

When you believe it, you will see it.    Hashem can do anything at all.

Two Birds

Then the kohen shall order, and the person to be cleansed shall take two live, clean birds, a cedar stick, a strip of crimson [wool], and hyssop. [Metzora 14:4]

Rashi explains that since tzara'as comes about because of lashon hara, the person being purified must bring two birds, for birds ''constantly twitter with chirping sounds''.

The Talmud Yerushalmi [Berachos 1:2] cites the words of R' Shimon bar Yochai:  ''If I would have been standing on Har Sinai at the time the Torah was given to the Jewish people, I would have requested before Hashem that He create two mouths for man.  One mouth would be for the purpose of toiling in Torah study, and the second would be for the purpose of allowing him to speak about his ordinary needs.''

Later, R' Shimon bar Yochai changed his mind, and he said:  ''If the world cannot withstand man's slander when he has only one mouth, how much more so would this be the case if he had two mouths.''
