"Message" for Shabbat?

I feel the need to share the following, but I can't say if there is a message in it or not for this particular Shabbat, or what precisely it might portend.  You have to decide.

Yesterday, I came across something I had written in 2009 referring to the 20th of Marcheshvan in the Midrash Sefer Eliyahu:  

"On the twentieth (day) of Marheshvan, the world will be shaken ‘and the heavens and the earth will quake’ (cf. Joel 4:16)."

(Joel 4.16)  "And the Lord shall roar from Zion, and from Jerusalem He shall give forth His voice, and the heavens and earth shall quake, and the Lord is a shelter to His people and a stronghold for the children of Israel."

Then, this morning, as I was waking up, I was hearing myself in my mind praying these words from Tehillim 92.10 (part of the Shir shel Shabbat):

:כִּ֚י הִנֵּ֪ה אֹֽיְבֶ֡יךָ | יְֽהוָ֗ה כִּֽי־הִנֵּ֣ה אֹֽיְבֶ֣יךָ יֹאבֵ֑דוּ יִ֜תְפָּֽרְד֗וּ כָּל־פֹּ֥עֲלֵי אָֽוֶן

"For behold Your enemies, O Lord, for behold Your enemies will perish; all workers of violence will scatter."

The whole world knows it's coming.  As the saying goes, it's not a question of "if" but of "when".  We've heard it so often, we've come to doubt it, but now the whole world has been warned...

It's Time Once Again - to Expel Yishmael

The Stone Edition Chumash Commentary:

Ishmael is expelled:  In the ninth of Abraham's Ten Trials, God commanded him to banish Ishmael, because he was a menace to the spiritual health - and perhaps the very life - of Isaac.  To signify Ishmael's gross nature, the Torah describes him as the son of Hagar, the Egyptian.  Despite her many years in the home of Abraham and Sarah, Hagar remained an Egyptian princess, and Ishmael gravitated to her influence rather than Abraham's.  That Abraham found it repugnant to send Ishmael away is clear from the narrative, but he was strong enough to do whatever he was commanded.  As the Patriarch of Israel, his primary responsibility was to subordinate his feelings of love to the dictates of the future.

If only the leaders of the Jewish people today would follow Avraham Avinu's example!!

A lot of right-wingers are screaming that this situation is anti-Zionist!  It seems to me that it is very much "Zionist"...

They've been kicking the can down the road for 78 years!!Reality has now caught up!!
I think it is only right and proper that, on his yahrtzeit, we give Rabbi Meir Kahane the last word...
