The Sun Has Dramatically Changed

 

For all of you living in the Northern Hemisphere ... if you spend any time outside this summer you will notice that your skin burns/tans very quickly, much faster than it used to.  People are reporting this from all over the world, and I know from my own experience under the sun during our summer, this is the case.  

The sun does not look normal anymore.  At various times of the day you can find it looking like this:

Vaucluse, Sydney a couple of weeks ago

This guy is talking about the weather in the U.S. and the crazy skies.... you'll notice he says it's "out of this world", and he's right, it's not "our" weather, it's from the passing planetary system and all these new clouds are actually the clouds surrounding the planets.  This is how Hashem brings the severe weather to us.  Yes, I know it's not possible, but as it's happening it must be possible.

Trump Flips Back To Israel

 

Eventually and Immediately

''and I will remember My covenant [with] Jacob, and also My covenant [with] Isaac, and also My covenant [with] Abraham I will remember. And I will remember the Land'' [Bechukotai 26:42]

Unlike the redemption described here, where the Jewish people were redeemed despite their lowly state, without having done teshuvah, in the case of the true and final Redemption '''the Jewish people will eventually do teshuvah at the end of their exile, and they will immediately be redeemed''.  [Rambam, Laws of Teshuvah 7:5]

The Blind Mashiach

by Rabbi Yitzchak Ginsburgh

The month of Iyar is the month of light. Even its name, Iyar, is cognate to the Hebrew word for ‘light,’ - Or. In the Bible, the month of Iyar is called the month of Ziv, which also means ‘light.’

How did this month merit such a luminous name? First of all, Iyar comes to us after a long, cold, cloudy winter. The month of Nissan blazes the trail to the spring, followed by Iyar, which is all light. We thank God for the light of the sun, but it is upon us to be mindful of the spiritual light, as well. Light is a wondrous allegory for Divine revelation, God’s illumination and benevolent abundance.

The Torah is also equated to light, “For a mitzvah is a candle and Torah is light.”[1] This is particularly true of the concealed, inner dimension of the Torah, the wisdom of Kabbalah of Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai in his book, The Zohar. This is another connection to Iyar, for Lag Ba’Omer, the day of Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai’s passing, is on the 18th of Iyar. In addition, on the 14th of Iyar we commemorate the day of passing of Rabbi Meir Ba’al Ha’nes in Tiberias. Click here for Rabbi Meir's miracle remedy to find lost objects.  

The redemption is also likened to light, and at the Pesach seder we bless God for taking us out of “darkness to a great light.” In the merit of the Torah and the secrets of the Torah the redemption emerges.

Love in the Soul

While all of this is very nice, the fact is that there is still much darkness in the world – hatred, wars, troubles and illnesses. Even in our own communities, the situation is far from perfect. The same is true of our interpersonal relationships and even in our relationship with ourselves. This state of affairs can make it seem like we are light-years away from the redemption.

How do we emerge from the darkness of the exile to the light of the redemption? The main rectification for this time period is love for others. The students of Rabbi Akiva died during the days of the Omer – which we count during the entire month of Iyar – because they did not act with respect toward each other. It is upon us to rectify that blemish and to fulfill Rabbi Akiva’s teaching: “Love your neighbor as yourself – that is a great principle in the Torah.”[2]

How can we truly love our fellow man – even those who seem to be so different from us? Are we supposed to be blind and not pay attention to the distance between us and even the shortcomings and faults of others? Yes! We are supposed to be blind to those shortcomings!

Sometimes, it is good to close our eyes. This world is full of passing sights, replete with smoke and mirrors, old news, breaking news and a flood of input. It is all dizzying, blinding, confusing, superficial light. Stop! It is ok to release the tension, to step off the speeding train and relax. Close your eyes and take a look inward.

A blind person does not see superficial colors and shapes. This is specifically why he can sense something much more internal and essential. Quite a few Jewish Torah giants were blind and it was they who could sense the footsteps of Mashiach:

The Talmudic sage Rabbi Sheshet, who was blind, was the first of his colleagues to perceive when the king was coming by. It was the blind Talmudic sage Rav Yosef who declared: “May the Mashiach come and may I merit to sit in the shadow of his donkey.” (The numerical value of Rav Yosef equals ‘Mashiach’). Isaiah the Prophet says: Who is blind, but My servant? Or deaf, as My emissary whom I send? Who is blind as he who is wholehearted, and blind as God’s servant?[3] God’s servant, His emissary, the Mashiach, seems blind and deaf because he is focused inward.

The blind person sees the inner light, the light of the soul and the redemption. There is a deep connection between the Hebrew words for ‘light’ (or -אור) and ‘blind’ (iver – עור ). The blind person sees the light beneath the surface. It is no coincidence that in Aramaic, a blind person is called ‘sagi nahor,’ which means ‘much light.’

This is the way to love our fellow man: We must ignore his external appearance and focus on the inner dimension that unites us, seeing the connection between all the souls of Israel. This love banishes darkness and melts estrangement and hatred.

May this be an illuminating and healthy month for all!

Global Explosion and Economy: Israel and the US vs Iran

This is a brief transcription of the video.  There are English subtitles available but some of them are not clear.  Anyway I have typed up the relevant parts.  Hopefully I have not made too many errors.

Rav Ron Chaya

We are waiting for an American attack on Iran. Why are we waiting for this?

Iran, as Netanyahu said, have an obsesssion with wanting to destroy Israel. They are the ones who ran Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hamas in Gaza, and those who rule all in Yemen. They have militias in Iraq.  We think it is Amalek, there is evidence for this, we have talked about it often.  So America attacks them to prevent an atomic bomb.  France and Israel also have an atomic bomb, but if Iran has one it is to send it to us.  It's obvious. So we can't let them have it.

It is written that at the end of days Persia will fall into the hands of Rome.  This will happen before Moshiach comes.  When it is written that Persia and Rome will last until the end of days it means until just before Moshiach comes.  This means that just before Moshiach comes, Persia will fall into the hands of Rome.

Rome is not the Vatican, especially since the Pope is dead.  Rome is the leader of the Western World, it is America. There has never been a war between the West and Persia.

Negotiations have taken place between America and Iran regarding their nuclear powers, but the Iranians will never agree to stop, they have made it clear. 

We also have a prophecy in the Torah from Bilam, the greatest non-Jewish prophet in history, and at the end he makes a prophecy about the end of time.  

After America attacks Iran there will be an economic crash, and that's the end.  Many are speaking about an impending economic crash. Elon Musk spoke about it a few weeks ago.  Warren Buffett did not say it but financiers say he foresees a great economic crash.

So what will happen in Israel if America attacks Iran?  I don't know but it is clear there will be fantastic miracles.

The Erev Rav are causing us many problems, enormous problems like never before in history.

The Zohar says that at the end of days the Erev Rav will fall.  We are waiting for that.

What happens next... Gog u Magog and Moshiach. Armies will come to attack Israel. For example, Erdogan wants to attack Israel, to "liberate Jerusalem".

After the Gog u Magog attack, Hashem will reveal Himself and everyone will recognize the G-d of Israel, and Moshiach comes.  It is said that this war will be the last 3 hours of the night, but the Vilna Gaon said it would only last 12 minutes and the Baba Sali said it would only last a few seconds.

As soon as the Moshiach arrives, everyone is healed.  The mute will start to speak etc. There will be no more illness, no more divorce, no more lack of Shalom Bayit. Everything will be perfect.

We don't know when it will happen but it's in Trump's head and Trump's head is in G-d's hands. The mind of the kings is in the Hand of G-d.  When Hashem says it's time to attack, they will attack.
