Day 17 of the Omer
According to a 2005 interview given to Rabbi Lazer Brody (see here and here) - "... the Geula must begin full force within 7 years of the notorious Disengagement from Jewish Gaza, when 8500 Jews were expelled and exiled from their homes. If the Disengagement was on Av 11, 5765, that means that 7 years are up this coming Av 11, 5772 (July 30, 2012)."
The bad news is, the same source also passed along the following prediction: "Arik Sharon will win the coming election, and ... be the last Prime Minister of the secular State of Israel."
Well, that throws cold water on it, doesn't it? Everyone knows that Ehud Olmert and Binyamin Netanyahu followed Ariel Sharon as Prime Minister. So, if they were wrong on that, then they're likely just as wrong about the other.
But, hold on just a minute. Ariel Sharon is still technically alive and was never voted out of office, so from a certain perspective, one might say that Olmert and Netanyahu simply filled his chair in his absence. I mean, it's already a weird situation with Sharon going on and on and on, neither really living nor passing on. No Israeli leader was ever more identified with the Land of Israel than Ariel Sharon - "The Bulldozer" - a kibbutznik cum general, an icon of secular Zionism if ever there was one.
Is the secular Zionist State's destiny tied to Ariel Sharon's? When he succumbed to a stroke and became incapacitated, was it a sign of the beginning of the fall of secular Zionism and the secular state as well? In other words, is the state of the State mirrored in Ariel Sharon's condition?
This could put a new light on another prediction I heard in the name of Rav Kaduri, ztz"l, that Mashiach would only appear after Ariel Sharon had passed from this world.

I could be very much wrong though I've always been under the impression that Sharon being the last Prime Minister of the secular State of Israel refers to the fact that either foreign powers now currently rule / occupy Israel from behind the scenes in spite of all the media / political theater to the contrary or that the point beyond Sharon is really a time when the Erev Rav "openly" rule Israel (compared to before when they could at least pretend to be the ones bringing about the Jewish Redemptive Vision until the explusion happened).
Or it could be a combination of the two.
Olmert was certainly a continuation of Sharon. Bibi seems to be a different type person, than those before, but not the Tikkun we need. Perhaps it means that after Sharon/Olmert there would be a start to an upswing for the State away from Secularism.
Jesterhead - I hadn't thought of that. That's a very good possibility, too.
Israel Rising - I don't know how you can tell what Bibi is like. It appears that when Bibi got elected, we got Ehud Barak in stead!

Thanks Shloime. That's probably where my idea came from. I'm sure I read that back when and it just sat there in the back of my mind.
The Radak says that the foolish shepherd in Zecharia 11 and 13 would be the gilgul of Herod the Great. Sharon's autobio. about himself is called "The Shepherd". Both Herod and Sharon were great builders. Of this there can be no question. And both were reasonably suspected as to whether they were Jews or not. Herod was an Edomite slave who was forcibly converted by his Chashmonaic master either before or right after Pompeii moved in to Jerusalem with his Roman legions. Sharon's mother's conversion was so suspicious that the Chief Rabbinate in 1948 refused to give her a Teudat Zehut which said that she was a Jew. Curiously the word for foolish in Zecharia 11 is the word "Evil". So in both cases, Herod and Sharon, chances are that they were not even Jews. One could make a reasonable case that Sharon was the gilgul of Herod.
The Medrash Sefer Eliyahu says that the last leader of the Erev Rav at the end of the four kingdoms would be a man named TRMLO, the precise spelling of the name in the medrash is where the O is written as an Aleph. It is actually spelled Tav, Reish, Mem, Lamed, Aleph in the medrash. Now the Zohar in VaYeira 119 says that Mashiach ben Yosef would appear in the Land of the Galilee in the 66th year after crossing over the threshold of the 6th Millennium. It first says that the final redemption would commence with the Vav in HaShem's Name because Ya'akov's name is spelled full with a Vav the only time in the entire Chumshei Torah in the verse. I will remember by covenant with Ya'akov with a Vav. The Zohar then intimates that the Redemption cannot begin b'itah until 2/3rds of the way through the 6th Millennium, the year 5666 on the 7th day of Pesach when the Rebbe Rashab, 5th Lubavitcher Rebbe, first instituted Seudat HaMashiach in the year 1906. Then it says that in the 60th year after crossing over the threshold of the 6th millenium there would be a final Peqidah of the daughter of Ya'akov. Rav M. Glazierson has said for at least 30 years that the threshold was the year 5700 the first century mark after the year 5666. So at the very end of the year 5760 began the final Peqidah of Israel called the Al Aksa Intifada. It must be remembered that the word peqidah is not always positive because it refers to taking accounts of assets and liabilities, doing a final din v'cheshbon. So then the Zohar says in the merit of the letter Vav wait 6 years plus a half a year to bring the Rachamim of Nisan into the equation, and there would be a full zechira of the daughter of Ya'akov. In the year 5766 1/2 Olmert had ascended the throne as PM replacing Sharon who had suffered his debilitating stroke on the 5th of Tevet 5766. His plan, hitkansut, was to destroy Judea and Samaria unilaterally just as his predecessor had destroyed Gaza. Miraculously the 2nd Lebanon War began basically on the 17th of Tamuz and because of the bombing of the Galilee including Haifa, all unilateral plans to destroy recognized yishuvim were thrown into the garbage. That was the extent of the appearance of MBY in the Galilee in the year 5766. Then for some mysterious reason the Zohar says to wait 6 more years until 5772 1/2. continued
Part 2: The Zohar does not explain why it says that another 6 year cycle would be required, and frankly to keep peace amongst Torah observant Jews, I will not bring back old sewage from 7 years ago about who did what that empowered Sharon to carry out his "evil", foolish plan. Yet, it has something to do with that. Gog W. Bush was set to be the kinder gentler Gog, but frankly we blew it. End of discussion about this matter. So the Zohar says wait another 6 years until 72 1/2. Ok, so who is Netanyahu? Well it must be understood that Mashiach ben Yosef will have a Yud Key Vav in his name like Yehoshua bin Nun and Yehonatan ben Shaul who came before him. Yet, here are two problems. 1. Yehonatan was the son of Sha'ul from the tribe of Binyamin not Ephraim. 2. The Yud Key Vav has to be in the first name of MBEphraim not the last name of MBEphraim because unlike Mashiach ben David the anointment of ben Yosef is matrilinear not patrilinear (as it is with ben David). Netanyahu has the Yud Key Vav in his last name. So what is he, the great pretender?? Well the key, the solution to the problem, has to do with the combination of both problems. As Dovid of Israel Rising has said, Binyamin Netanyahu is the gilgul of Sha'ul HaMelekh himself and has all the same issues such as listening to the popular views of his followers rather than HaShem. But he definitely is not from the Erev Rav. So Sha'ul is back for a final tikkun, and oh what a tikkun awaits him. We see from Sefer Shmuel Aleph that after G-d has relented on giving Sha'ul a dynastic reign, while still allowing him to keep lifetime rule (this is all in Chapter 13 of Shmuel Aleph before the command of Mechiyat Amalek) where do we find Sha'ul hanging out in chapter 14 with the army of Israel??? Migron. Then his son Yonatan (also written Yehonatan when speaking about his chavivut with David) decides to by his lonesome along with his armour bearer to take on the entire Philistine garrison at Michmash. I can see the entire battlefield from my 2nd floor porch in Kochav Ya'akov. Miraculously Yehonatan is victorious. He and his armor bearer scatter the entire Philistine garrison!!! Yet, there is a problem. The dynastic promise to Shaul had already ended in chapter 13 so that Yehonatan would never be a king. Along comes chapter 15. Shaul messes up again big time and fails to destroy Amalek allowing Agag to live while his wife shapeshifts and becomes one of the bleeting sheep. They have offspring, and Amalek continues. At this point Shmuel HaNavi says that G-d is so furious that not only has Shaul lost his dynastic claim to Israel's throne but Sha'ul just ended his own term in office right then and there. pretty harsh stuff for an anointed king of HaShem. So Sha'ul (Netanyahu) needs a big tikkun. And it has to do with both Migron and guy sitting in an American jail for over 26 years whose first name is both Yonatan and Yehonatan, thanks to Rav Mordechai Eliyahu... May we see yeshu'ot very soon. When Shilo (Gift to him) comes...
