The 10th Red Cow

Shabbat Parah, the Sabbath of the Red Heifer, occurs on the Shabbat prior to Shabbat Mevarkhim of the month of Nisan. The maftir reading, Numbers 19:1-22, deals with the red heifer whose ashes were combined with water to ritually purify anyone who had been in contact with a dead person. Because only people who were pure could eat from the Passover sacrifice, a public announcement right before Nisan reminded anyone who had become impure to purify themselves before making the Passover pilgrimage to Jerusalem.

Parah Adumah: An Affront to Both Christians and Muslims

"They should take some of the ashes of the burnt purification offering [of the red cow] and place them in a vessel [filled] with spring water" [Chukat 19:17]

Rambam comments: "Nine red heifers were prepared from the time this mitzvah was given until the destruction of the Second Temple.  The first was prepared by Moshe, the second by Ezra, and there were seven from Ezra until the destruction of the Temple.  The tenth will be made by King Mashiach - May he be speedily revealed! Amen, may this be your Will!"

The fact that Rambam mentions the tenth red heifer that "will be made by King Mashiach" in his legal Code [the Mishneh Torah] is understood, since Rambam included in his Code many laws that will only be applicable in the future era.  What is difficult to comprehend is why he concluded this law with a prayer "May he be speedily revealed! Amen, may this be Your Will!"  Surely a legal Code is not the place for the author to record his personal emotions and feelings, or to lapse into prayerful wishes?

It could be argued, however, that with his "prayer", Rambam did teach us a point of Jewish Law - or, to be precise, three points:

Judaism requires a person:

1) Not merely to believe [intellectually] in Mashiach, but also to actively await and yearn [emotionally] for his coming [Laws of Kings 11:1]

2) Inevitably, feeling this void will lead a person to pray for Mashiach's coming, just as he prays for any other thing that is lacking in his life.

3) And being that the requirement to believe in Mashiach is in force at all times, it follows that likewise, a person must yearn and pray for Mashiach constantly.

Therefore:

1) Rambam included prayerful wishes here in his legal Code to indicate that awaiting Mashiach must not be only expressed intellectually, but emotionally too.

2) He stresses that Mashiach should come "speedily" to indicate Mashiach's coming should be a personal heartfelt desire.

3) He recorded the above principles, not in his codification of the laws concerning Mashiach, but here out of context, to indicate that one must express a yearning for Mashiach constantly, whatever the context of one's discusion happens to be.

The [D]Evil at the End of Days

Warning: some of the information contained in this post may scare some people, that is not my intention.  I'm just putting things together and coming to a conclusion, which may or may not happen.... some of those facts refer to demonic entities and Egyptian gods.  It is speculation based on facts.  Don't read it if you are over-sensitive. 

Rabbi Mendel Kessin has been telling us for a long time now that the Satan is dying and he is not going quietly.  I feel that we need to be prepared for a level of evil to be released upon the world greater than ever before.  Here's why.

[1] CERN will be firing up the Hadron Collider on April 8.  The Hadron Collider has been accused of "opening portals" to demonic entities and it doesn't help that the CERN logo looks like a 666.  See https://1000logos.net/cern-logo/ for more.

[2] NASA will be firing THREE ROCKETS at the solar eclipse on April 8.

The space agency’s project, Atmospheric Perturbations Around The Eclipse Path, will investigate how that drop in sunlight and temperature affects Earth’s upper atmosphere. 

APEP is named after the SERPENT DEITY from ancient Egyptian mythology, nemesis of the sun deity Ra, according to NASA.  See: https://www.forbes.com/sites/jamiecartereurope/2024/03/26/why-nasa-will-fire-three-rockets-at-the-solar-eclipse/ 

Apep, also spelled Apepi, Aapep, was the ancient Egyptian deity who EMBODIED DARKNESS AND DISORDER, and was thus the OPPONENT OF LIGHT and Ma'at (order/truth). 

[3] Aleister Crowley [1875-1947] was an English occultist. His mother, Emily Bertha Bishop had a strained relationship with her son; she described him as "the Beast", a name that he revelled in.

He founded the religion of Thelema, identifying himself as the prophet entrusted with guiding humanity into the Æon of Horus [an Egyptian god]. Crowley said that he wrote down everything a voice told him over the course of  three days: April 8, 9 and 10 in 1904 - that's exactly 120 years to the day of April 8 2024 -, and titled it Liber AL vel Legis or The Book of the Law. The book proclaimed that humanity was entering a new Aeon, and that Crowley would serve as its prophet. It stated that a supreme moral law was to be introduced in this Aeon, "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law," and that people should learn to live in tune with their Will. This book, and the philosophy that it espoused, became the cornerstone of Crowley's religion, Thelema.  Source: Wikipedia  

[Crawley set himself up as an opposition to G-d, he used gematria, kabbalah, the Tree of Life, and the word AL is representing the name of G-d. He brought a level of evil down into the world which had not been here previously. These days many people still have Crawley as their idol... the guitarist Jimmy Page from the band Led Zeppelin is one of those people, at one stage even buying his former house]

Tzav: The Conscious and the Sub-Conscious Mitzvot

Do we really have free choice? Most people tend to view this as a yes-or-no type of question, but the correct answer is in fact, yes and no.

a) The inner core of the soul is totally at one with G-d. At this subconscious level, the soul of every Jew wishes to observe all the mitzvot and to avoid transgressing any prohibitions. There is no desire for evil here; there simply is no other option than doing good.

b) At the conscious level however, where we interact with the more superficial layers of the soul's complex psyche, there is room for both good and evil. Here, the soul's inner desire to observe all the mitzvot is felt only as a weaker 'signal', which is susceptible to 'interference' from the opposing messages of our animalistic instincts. So at the conscious level, we do indeed possess free choice.

In general, the Torah speaks to our conscious mind. We are told to observe the mitzvot with the full awareness of what we are doing, and we are charged with bringing an awareness of spirituality into our normal, daily lives.

However, at this conscious level, we are susceptible to being drawn away from a life of holiness, or stifled by the limitations that the world appears to present. So while most of the mitzvot were given to the conscious part of the soul, G-d saw it necessary to give us some mitzvot which speak directly to the inner core of the soul, helping the soul's unlimited energy and total commitment to good to flow outwards to the conscious mind. These special mitzvot help us stay in tune with our subconscious commitment to Judaism, when our conscious observance becomes strained or limited.

With most mitzvot, G-d told Moshe to address the Jewish people with the term דבר "daber" [speak] or אמור "emor" [say]. While the mitzvot conveyed with these terms are of course obligatory, the more passive, indirect mood of the words "speak" and "say" indicate that these mitzvot are directed at the superficial layers of the soul which possess free choice.

Parshas Tzav, in contrast, uses the more direct imperative term צו "tsav" [command], alluding to a type of mitzvah which speaks to the soul's inner core that does not possess true free-choice; and is simply "commanded" to obey G-d's will. These special mitzvot which are included in this Parsha are aimed at helping our inner identity of unquestioning and uninhibited commitment to the Jewish faith surface in everyday life.

Machloket and the [Current] Royal Family

Machloket, the Hebrew word for dispute or strife, is related to the word "piece" or "fragment" because a machloket shatters the Peace into pieces.  There is fall-out and bad things happen. That's why you should always stay away from arguments [unless they are for the sake of Heaven].

The machloket in the British Royal family, initiated by Harry and Meghan, caused a worldwide machloket. People were taking sides: for and against.   

Several years after it had begun, King Charles III and his daughter-in-law the Princess of Wales are both diagnosed with cancer, requiring them both to begin chemotherapy and cease Royal duties until their health has returned.

That's what a machloket does.  You're watching it play out now.  

Of course it's no accident that Harry married Meghan.  He's probably a gilgul of King Edward VIII who abdicated the throne in favour of marrying his lover Wallis Simpson.  Meghan is the new Wallis Simpson, very similar in personality and probably another gilgul.  No surprise that Prince Philip used to call her DOW [Duchess of Windsor]

Rebbe Nachman of Breslov explains "machloket":

At the end of his story “The Spider and The Fly” (Rabbi Nachman’s Stories, p. 151), Rebbe Nachman tells us that when the soul of a great tzaddik—him!—comes to this world, Satan protests. “If the tzaddik is allowed to come to the world, I will be unable to do my job! Do not let him be born!” God’s reply is that the tzaddik must be born. Satan must seek a solution to his problem. 

The tzaddik must come in order to teach and model for us how life is meant to be lived. If not, we could not know and we would have no chance to choose a proper way of life. On the other hand, as Satan correctly pointed out, the tzaddik would be so successful that he, Satan, could not do his job. There must be free will. That’s the point of living: having and using free will, preferably making right choices! So what is Satan’s solution? He befriends a stooped-over old man: machloket—argument, strife, dissension, politics. And the Satan laughs; he is no longer afraid of the great tzaddik and his teachings.

Let’s think for a moment. Satan goes from pleading and being distraught at the prospect of squaring off against the tzaddik, to laughing and being unconcerned. Why? He has found machloket. The implication is that the tzaddik needs and thrives on shalom. Shalom means more than “peace.” Just as machloket is related to the Hebrew word for “piece” and “fragment,” shalom is related to the words “whole” and “complete.” Everything in Rebbe Nachman’s teachings stresses—and sometimes screams—wholeness: in prayer, in Torah study, in caring and sharing (chessed and tzedakah).

This is Above Us Now: Between the Sun and the Earth

This video is 11 years old, and it is from a totally different source to the person I usually quote on these things.

This system has been here since 2010, and in this video you can see clearly all the planets, their colours and their names.  It is very interesting that the planet called "Nibiru" looks very similar to planet Earth. The translation of the title of the video is "Nibiru is planet number 6 in the brown dwarf Immaru's Solar System".

Note that the beginning of the video seems a bit strange, but that's just sound effects to get you in the mood for a journey to outer space....

How our Inner Thoughts have Power over our Destinies.

In an address the Lubavitcher Rebbe gave in 1963, he expanded on the philosophical and spiritual dynamic behind the principle “Think good, and it will be good.” 

He began by asking the obvious question: On the basis of what should one believe that in the face of any challenge, “it (the outcome) will be good”? Isn’t it presumptuous to assume that in every given situation we are always deserving of Divine grace, regardless of our state of religious and moral standing? 

And what of the basic Jewish belief that there is a Divine order of reward and punishment that governs our world, making salvation dependent on righteous behavior?

The Rebbe’s answer was: When a Jew decides to place his trust in G‑d, believing that his current crisis will be resolved favorably despite facing a bleak reality that suggests otherwise, he has, in effect, risen above his own nature, which in turn elicits, reciprocally, “measure for measure” the suspension of the Divine order, where only the righteous are deserving of salvation.   In fact, according to Nachmanides [Bechukotai 26:11]: “When the majority of the Jewish people are complete [in their faith in G‑d], their affairs are not run by the natural order…to the extent that there is no need for a physician or to follow the ways of medicine, as it says, ‘I am the L‑rd your healer….’” Obviously, those times of spiritual perfection are all too rare, and under the current circumstances, we are encouraged to follow the natural order of things.

G‑d, the creator of Man, understands how difficult and even “supernatural” it is for a human being to truly believe—to the degree that he or she no longer experiences fear and anxiety—that an unpromising and even seemingly hopeless situation will have a positive outcome. And, thus, as a result and even reward for the extraordinary act of worship of “tracht gut,” G‑d deems the believer, who is otherwise undeserving of a positive outcome, to be deserving in this instance of an extra measure of Divine generosity.
