Rashi's Prediction

H/t Rivka 

Rav Yitzchak Dovid Grossman, Chief Rabbi of Migdal HaEmek and founder of Migdal Ohr, delivered a powerful address linking today’s events to the prophetic writings of Rashi, composed nearly 900 years ago.

He cited a verse from Yeshayahu, Chapter 32, verse 19: “U’barad b’redes haya’ar, u’vashiflah tishpal ha’ir—And it shall hail when the forest comes down, and in the low place the city shall be brought low.” 

Explaining Rashi’s commentary, Rav Grossman said, “Rashi writes that in the future, Hashem will rain destruction upon the cities of the enemies of Israel—those cities that are full and teeming, like a forest is full of trees. He uses the phrase: ‘Veyamtir Hakadosh Baruch Hu es matar pachei haresha’im sheheim achshav benuyim u’meileim arim keya’ar’—Hashem will rain down the downfall of the wicked, whose cities are now built up like a forest.” 

But the most chilling part of Rashi’s words, Rav Grossman emphasized, is when he singles out one specific nation: “Uvashiflah—shenishpeilu Yisrael ad achshav, tishpal ir—metropolis shel Paras. The city that will be brought low in the place where the Jews were humiliated,” Rashi writes, “is the capital of Persia.” 

“That is,” explained Rav Grossman, “mida k’neged mida. You sought to wipe us out and humiliate us before the world, and now, in the same manner that you intended for us, your own city—Tehran and its satellites—will be disgraced.”

Rav Grossman concluded with a heartfelt prayer: “May the Almighty grant us the merit to witness the unfolding of redemption, and see with our very own eyes the realization of Yeshayahu’s vision. Amein.”

Is Another Purim Happening Before Our Eyes?

Rabbi Y. Y. Jacobson

Updated and Complete: Why Did Trump Leave The G7 ????

I've waited 20 years to blog this.... It's actually happening.

In its section on the biblical Book of Isaiah and the prophecies contained therein, a rabbi cited by the Yalkut Shimoni states:

 “In the year Moshiach comes all the nations of the world will provoke each other and threaten with war. The king of Persia (Iran) will provoke the King of Arabia (Saudi Arabia) with war. The King of Arabia goes to Edom (The Western Countries, headed by USA) for advice. Then the King of Persia destroys the world (and since that cannot be done with conventional weapons it must mean nuclear which can destroy most of the world). And all the nations of the world begin to panic and are afraid, and Israel too is afraid as to how to defend from this. G-d then says to them “Do not fear for everything that I have done is for your benefit, to destroy the evil kingdom of Edom and eradicate evil from this world so that the Messiah can come, your time of redemption is now.”

Let me explain.

Rav Ron Chaya has put up another video with some special inside information which I've just typed up, not a transcript, just the main points.

Regarding the kittim, the ships coming from the west. 

Quotes Tosfot Avoda Zara 2b

How can it say that only Persia and Rome will last until the Messianic Era, but it also says that Persia will fall at the hands of Rome. So which is correct?

So it must be that just before Moshiach comes, Persia will be in the hands of Rome [the West]

But for the moment it is just a war between Israel and Iran.

It is written that the war against Persia will precede the Geula and it is Israel who will be the initiator. Then the West would have to come and attack Iran.  And we are here.

And why did Trump have to leave the G7 early? 

Because Saudi Arabia and Qatar urgently called him saying they had information that Iran was planning to attack them.  

Why ? 

We have a similar source as written in the Yalkut Shimoni above, which says that all people of the world will be at war [provoking each other]. 

Well it's true, we have Russia and Ukraine, Pakistan and India, China wants to conquer Taiwan, there are conflicts everywhere, and also between Iran and Saudi Arabia which has always been the case. It hasn't changed. The capital of the Arab shi'ite world is Iran and the capital of the Sunni world is Saudi Arabia. They hate each other more than they hate the Jews.

 

He says Trump did not want to go to war, he wants the Nobel Peace prize, he's being dragged into it [like it says, "I'll put hooks in your jaws" and remember that Trump made a deal with Saudi Arabia, Qatar last month, for 545 billion dollars, and received a beautiful plane from them....  He can't say no to them.

This means that the West will be going to war with Iran, there is already war ships,  an entire army, it's a fleet.  We see how the words of the Prophet are fulfilled word for word - "the fleets will come from the Western isles".  Here we are !  It's extraordinare !

Why is Iran doing this?

The 4 chapters of Yoel talk exclusively about the End times.   G-d said "I will avenge the blood of the Jews that I have not yet avenged."

You have to understand that Iran was the one that financed, organised and promoted all the attacks that took place here in Israel. So in the End, G-d says "I'll take care of them."

[He quotes a commenter on the Torah, can't decipher the name]

"When the enemies will see their end is near..."  

Iran understands that they have lost the war, they still have capabilities but for the moment they are in a very bad way.  So they say they will strengthen themselves, telling themselves that they will die, but not alone. That they will cause trouble all over the world.

We have already seen the help of G-d and bezrat Hashem will continue to. 

It is true that if they attack Saudi Arabia's oil fields,  it will cause an economic crash. It would be terrible. So for money, Trump goes to war, and we arrive at the wars of Gog u Magog.

Gog u Magog is 70 nations against us to conquer Jerusalem. And as I said in the last shiur, I think it will be Turkey and Syria, through Egypt they will come.   People say they are afraid and I say don't be scared, Gog u Magog is a Victory of G-d.  So everyone will recognise the greatness of G-d.

How will it go?  I have no idea.  We saw that Israel is the initiator, but how will it end?

I don't know what's going to happen. 

Just at the end he says that when he went to see the Yanuka recently, the Yanuka told him that Moshiach will arrive soon and He will take care of it. He will catch them in little pieces.

We must increase in our emunah and faith in G-d. We have to be pure to receive Moshiach.  Either by merit or yichus, who will see Moshiach, we don't know.  So I think we are entering the critical phases.

The UK also goes to war against Iran and I think this will be the end of them.  What will it bring? I don't know, but I think it will bring Moshiach.  I say a date, I'm always wrong but I say 15 Av as it is written there are no greater days for Israel than 15 Av and Yom Kippur.  In my opinion it will be the Geula, if not before.... but if not - then another date... and I pray very soon !

[Rav Ron Chaya]

Transparency

"It was the season when the first grapes ripen..." [Shelach 13:20 ]

Moses did not command the spies to bring back grapes in particular, but just "fruit", and we find that they brought back various fruits - grapes, pomegranates and figs [v.23]

So why does the Torah stress that "It was the season when the first grapes ripen" and not simply, the time when fruit was ripening?

The process of spying out the Land to conquer it represents our daily mission of evaluating how to advance the "conquering" of this physical world for G-d, through the most effective use of time and resources for Torah.  Verse 20 concludes that the goal of this process is represented by grapes: grapes are unique in that their seeds are visible through their skins, and this teaches us that the goal of our observance is to make the physical "skin" of this world transparent to its higher, spiritual purpose.

The Light of the Sun

The sun is transforming, as it says 

Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of the seven days, in the day that the LORD bindeth up the bruise of His people, and healeth the stroke of their wound [Isaiah 30:26]

[The guy in the video is saying something at the end about the inner earth and a mothership.  I don't know what he thinks is about to happen, but I just wanted to show you the sun.  That dark rainbow halo around the sun is caused by the passing planets, which some people deny is happening, but it actually is happening.   Video filmed in Florida.]

Israel's War against Iran Perfectly Fits To The Lubavicher Rebbe's Biblical Prophecy!

I think we're starting to understand the texts that say everyone will know when Moshiach is coming.... because it seems to me that people do know something HUGE is going down.

Hooks in the Jaws

In spite of Trump trying to stay out of it, the US is sending ships and aircraft [ships from Kittim]... and from the hints that Rabbi Weisberg gave, I'm thinking that Trump is Gog.  Maybe every US President is a potential Gog.   I'm speculating, but....

He needs hooks in his jaw to get him involved.

Ezekiel 38

And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying

Son of man, set thy face toward Gog, of the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him,

and say: Thus saith the Lord God: Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal;

and I will turn thee about, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed most gorgeously, a great company with buckler and shield, all of them handling swords.

Updated: Attack on Iran: Decisive Step to Gog u Magog

Rav Ron Chaya

 

Iran is obsessed with destroying Israel. 

We will experience Gog u Magog... a people who come from the North to attack us.  In my opinion they are in agreement to attack, both at the same time.  It is noted that there is no greater day for the people of Israel than Yom Kippur and the 15th of Av.  [not sure why he mentions that here, perhaps it will become clearer later in the video]

He begins by explaining why we are at war....  We have been waiting for this for 30 - 40 years.  Although it is only about 15% of Iranians who wish for the destruction of Israel, we believe they are Amalek. They have a hatred of the G-d of Israel and an incomprehensible obsession with its destruction. 

Apparently Hitler yemach shemo told them to change the name from Persia to Iran, because they are "Aryan" like him, descended from the Iranian [Aryan] stock.  Obviously we have no doubt that Hitler yemach shemo was Amalek whose sole purpose was to annihilate the Jewish people.  Anyway, he told the Iranians that they are from the same race and we see this obsession with wanting to destroy the land of Israel.  Iran is a poor country and most of the money it has, it uses to buy weapons, build an atomic bomb etc. 

Iran is the centre of the Shi'ites. It was Iran who armed Hezbollah.  They are also the ones who assisted Hamas in Gaza. And they send the missiles to the Houthis in Yemen to fire them into Israel.

So we can say it is an octopus with many tentacles whose head is Iran. 

They think the Madi [their Moshiach]  must come within the framework of war throughout the world, an end of time war.

For years and years we have known that we have to go to war against Iran and the leaders of Israel have been preparing for it.  As we know Iran now has an atomic bomb, Israel had to act. 

He then speaks a bit about the miracles of what Israel has achieved so far, killing the commanders etc.

He speaks about Bibi going to the Kotel to pray, with Javier Milleil, and how we have never seen that... even with Bibi not being a classical orthodox Jew, but he still davened at the Kotel for hatzlacha. Bibi also put a note in the Kotel, a verse from parshat Balak which speaks a lot about the end times. This act of public prayer to Hashem was a Kiddush Hashem.  That a secular statesman goes to pray at the Kotel is extraordinaire !  It's an example for Jews everywhere.  We must call on G-d and then see the phenomenal results.

[this is also what Rabbi Weisberg was saying two blog posts below this one.... ]

He then explains that Israel does not want war, and all we want to do is live in peace... he is explaining this for the non-Jews who have written to him and do not understand certain things.  [I won't type up this part, if you want to hear it, it begins around the 8.30 mark and there are subtitles in any language]

He goes into the history of  Israel and the Israeli/Palestinian origins and the various wars, the surrender of Gaza by Ariel Sharon. 

How does Moshiach come? 

The great non Jewish prophet Bilaam from the parsha Balak, which we will read in four weeks time. Bilaam speaks about the End in two verses.

"Alas! Who will be able to survive when God will impose these things?"   [Balak 24:23]

"Ships from the Kittites will afflict Assyria, and afflict those on the other side. But he, too, will perish forever.” [Balak 24:24]

It is Yishmael who will do us harm at the End of Days.  As it is written in Pirkei Rabbi Eliezer, why are the Arabs called Ishmael? because in the end they will do a lot of harm to Israel. The people of Israel will cry to G-d and G-d will listen [i-shemael] and will answer.  It is a verse in Tehillim, G-d will listen and answer us. 

Now we come to the ships from Kittim.  While there are many interpretations of these ships, the most famous one comes from Rabbi Yonatan ben Uziel who says that these are soldiers/armed fleets that come from the west and they will attack what is today known as Iraq.  This was actually the Gulf Wars when the allied forces came by boat to attack Iraq.  But now it is the other side of the "river" and it is Iran, and the boats will come from the distant shores of the west: America and England as was the case in the Gulf war.

It would seem that America will soon enter the war against Iran because Trump wants to get rid of the Shi'ite leadership... note that 85% of the Iranians are not fanatical Shi'ites who just want to destroy Israel.

Iran has threatened to attack U.S. bases and that's all they have to do to provoke Trump.  He's going to be red-faced, and he's going to smash them into little pieces. And then we'll see Bilaam's prophecy.

Regarding the other part of that verse  "But he, too, will perish forever.” ....The attacker is therefore America.... so how could America be lost for eternity?  Perhaps for example Putin has said he won't hesitate to press the button...but besides that, the great economists of the world say we are on the verge of an economic crash in America, called the End of the Kingdom of Wall St... i.e. the stock market. It will be finished. The dollar will no longer be needed. When Moshiach arrives the dollar will be worth nothing at all - zero.  

So I give you my explanation, but it could all be completely wrong.  In any case, we were waiting for the Israeli and now especially the U.S. attack on Iran, as it is written in the text.... first Iraq and then Iran. 

Also in Daniel Chapter 2,   Nebuchadnezzar's dream where he sees a large statue which in fact represents all the nations for which Israel will be in exile.  At the end, the statue collapses, and even in the order that they collapse - and the final one is Iran. 

So there will be economic collapse, and I could be wrong but I don't think I am wrong.

Gog Magog, the Rebbe, Netanyahu, Trump and the coming of Moshiach

Suddenly everything makes sense.

I highly recommend you listen to this. 

Rabbi Weisberg is very excited, he's speaking much faster than usual....although the volume seems a bit low...  

He talks about the prophecies of the final war: the War of Gog and Magog, Trump and his role, who is Gog, and then at 19.45 he talks about the incredible role of the Lubavitcher Rebbe and Netanyahu.  Approx 23:50 he talks about the two parts of Eisav [and Trump]. And why this had to happen before Moshiach comes. 

Here is Netanyahu with Javier Mileil from 3 days ago, as described in Rabbi Weisberg's video.

Specific Psalms

Art: Shoshanna Bauer
"Shalom rav al Yisrael am'cha tasim l'olam"
Establish abundant peace upon Your people Yisrael forever

Rebbe Nachman's Tikun HaK'Lali (Complete Remedy) is a set of 10 Psalms [Tehillim] which, when said daily, are of great benefit for all ailments and difficult situations in a person's life.  Rebbe Nachman advised people to say these 10 Psalms daily:

"I am very positive in everything I say. But I am most positive in regard to the great benefit of these ten Psalms."

"These are the ten Psalms: 16, 32, 41, 42, 59, 77, 90, 105, 137, 150."

"This is the General Remedy. There is a specific remedy for each sin, but this is the general remedy."

"Go out and spread the teaching of the ten Psalms to all men."

"It may seem like an easy thing to say ten Psalms. But it will actually be very difficult in practice."

[Rebbe Nachman of Breslov]

Return

Rebbe Nachman said that repentance helps for all sins.

True repentance involves never repeating the sin.

"You must return to the same place where you sinned, and put yourself in the same situation, and let the temptation stand before your eyes. When you can do this, and not repeat the sin, then you have broken the evil urge and have truly repented."

Sometimes Hashem does this for you.  You are given the same event, like a gift, and you have the chance to behave differently.   Sometimes this can happen more than once, because you are being tested. Once you've passed the test, that situation will not cause you any more problems.

Protection

from the writings of the Ben Ish Hai

"Hashem safeguards the faithful, and repays the one who goes beyond to make arrogance" [Psalms 31:24]

It is bad enough to give in to negative traits that are part of our nature. Much worse is to arouse or cultivate negative traits, as did the Erev Rav in the desert.

Ben Ish Chai

They "desired a desire" - they desired to have desire - and they said "Would that we were given meat to eat!" [Numbers 11:4]

Another example is a poor man who is haughty. Wealth naturally pushes people toward arrogance, but if a poor man is haughty, he has brought it on himself.

On the opposite end of the spectrum are those who overcome their nature to serve G-d faithfully. An example is sharp Torah scholars who could find grounds to permit the forbidden but do not [see Eruvin 13b].

G-d punishes or protects most people through angels. But He "repays the one who goes beyond to make arrogance" - G-d personally punishes anyone who goes beyond his nature to make himself arrogant. And "Hashem safeguards the faithful" - He personally protects those who go beyond their nature to serve Him faithfully.

Talking to Yourself

Art: "Hannah's Reflection" - Jana Bouc





Sometimes when you speak to a friend, your words are not accepted.

Still, you can be motivated by your own words.

A ball cannot enter a stone wall, and therefore bounces back from it.

When your friend refuses to accept your words, they likewise are reflected back to you.  You are therefore influenced by your own words.

These same words may have had no effect if you would have spoken them to yourself.  But when you speak them to your friend and he is not influenced, they are reflected back to you.  You are therefore motivated by them.
