Concerning R Nir Ben Artzi's prediction of a major event that would "shock" the world and set off an unprecendented wave of antisemitism this week, it would appear that my proposed scenario is way off the mark. Instead, it looks like it will be events connected to Iran after all.
Here are some of the after-Shabbat headlines:
400 SLAUGHTERED IN SYRIA...
Iran begins new military exercises...
Ayatollah Khamenei threatens Israel...
ISRAELI FACILITIES IN N AMERICA, WORLD ON HIGH ALERT...
Apparently, what we are seeing in the closing hours of this week is just the beginning. Perhaps, it will culminate next week in accordance with R Ben Artzi's most recent announcement:
"... beginning next week – the Holy One is unlocking the safety latch! He is unleashing it to bring chaos in the world against the Jews – so that they should come to live in the holy Eretz Yisrael!
...Beginning next week, the Holy One will unleash and increase anti-Semitism in the world, against the Jews still found in the diaspora! The Holy One has warned you 3 years in a row – every day! You will not get another warning!"
This quote from Debka is telling, since throughout all the public discussion of if/when the US and/or Israel will attack never seems to consider the possibility of an Iranian first strike:
"...As the ayatollahs witness the vast US, Saudi, Israel, British, French and Arab Gulf war preparations around their borders, will they opt to watch and wait for the sword to fall, or will they try and get in first with a hammer blow against Israel, a course Khamenei hinted at broadly in his latest speech."
Then, there's this:
Iran warns world of coming 'great event'...
...“In light of the realization of the divine promise by almighty God, the Zionists and the Great Satan (America) will soon be defeated,” Ayatollah Khamenei, the Iranian supreme leader, is warning.
Khamenei, speaking to hundreds of youths from more than 70 countries attending a world conference on the Arab Spring just days ago, told a cheering crowd in Tehran that “Allah’s promises will be delivered and Islam will be victorious.”
...Khamenei then claimed the current century as the century of Islam and promised that human history is on the verge of a great event and that soon the world will realize the power of Allah.
Little do they know.
One major conspiracy website is already hard at work laying the groundwork for the blame to fall on Israel (and Jews worldwide). Be sure to see the Fox video embedded there.
"It's always a pleasure". I've known for some time that Michael Sheuer is nothing but an avid anti-Semite who will attack Israel at every opportunity. I found that he has said on C-Span that Israel hold no strategic value since they have no "resources" that we need. Apparently he's clueless on everything that Israel HAS contributed that benefit the entire world. I was Stunned that Nepolitano would consider it such a pleasure to have him on and then not even question his attack on the Jewish state. I have begun to question the authenticity of Conservatives when they have these types of guests on, and then have the audacity to say they support Israel. How duplicitous. For this reason I no longer have satellite, nor do I listen to conservative pundits.

"Power precedes destruction." -- (Proverbs, King Salomon)
ReplyDeleteIn these last few weeks' Torah portions [coincidence or, Divine Providence ?] we read that G-d hardened Pharaoh's heart and permitted him to increase in arrogance and his feeling of omnipotence just before Hashem (G-d), destroyed him. The Midrash (Shemos Rabbah 20:1) tells us that before Pharao died, even after he witnessed the splitting of the Red Sea, a revelation of G-d's Omnipotence, he felt extreme regret over the fact that he allowed the Jews to escape from his control. Pharao was an extremely wise king, yet he allowed himself to indulge in the desires of the evil inclination, Satan. We all know what happened..
"I will see your face again no more!" - Moses said to Pharao before the last plague in Egypt.
The stronger these nut cases' threats get, the more I sing and dance!! :)
'Nor will I (G-d) have rejected them, to OBLITERATE them, for I am Hashem, their G-d" (Leviticus 26:44); He is Hashem, may He be blessed, and His Shechinah (i.e. Divine Presence), who administer over them (the Jewish People) continuously, even in their exile. You must understand this properly. (see Shemos Rabbah 23:5)
ReplyDeleteI've studied this subject about the process of ascent and fall of our enemies thrughout history in depth. according to the Torah Hashem is letting our enemies rise and rise and rise and rise in order that in the end they should not just simly fall. Rather they will fall and fall and fall and fall and we will (as we did after we crossed the red sea bare footed on dry land) see their downfall which will be deep and deep and deep and deep. This is the way Hashem glorifies Himself in the world, through us and what happens to us and the way he deicdes to turn things around in a miraculous manner in the end. The higher these enemies rise [this is the greatest thing in the world] the more beloved we should feel by Hashem cuz really it's all from Hashem and the end will be extremely great and our happiness and joy infinite so, yes, it's not a time to despair or be afraid now, but a time to rejoice in all that happens. Be patient.. The end will be such a simcha !! It's impossible to see that without the pespective of the Torah and emuna.. Study Torah and its secrets.

ReplyDeleteIT WILL FAIL
Hashem said in the Torah, be silent and let me fight for you and you see what will happen now to our enemies.
The faster our bitachon will increase the faster this entire episode will seem to pass and we will all be dancing in yerushalayim at the greatest simcha this planet has ever seen.
Geula is the wedding between Hashem and Israel, His bride. Hashem wants to be the hero. Don't worry and trust Hashem.
This is the war of our enemies against Hashem personally. Hashem says as long as Amalek exists my Name will not be whole.
No one can win against Hashem.
Let Hashem do what He needs to do.
In the Neviim Hashem says He will do it and we should know that He does it for HIS sake.
It's His time to kick the ball now.
Let Him do it and just watch
what will be.
Our planet's citizens have a lot to learn and unfortunately it seems like most of us will only learn by experience.
The Jewish people are very lucky because Hashem has made them atone for their sins during punishment(rebuke) that was spread throughout 2500 yrs but the nations of the world will have to pay for their bill in one shot. I'm so happy I'm a Jew. B'nai Noach (Noahides) have also nothing to fear.
Devorah please write a post about my anonymous comments above incl this one. Everyone needs to know now. Kol tuv
