OUR INTERNAL ENEMY - THE EREV RAV

23 Elul 5779

(Continued from here.)

What do we do about the things we have no power to stop?  It is the Erev Rav, an extremely powerful force, who, through its death-grip on the government, is standing in the way of our full observance of the mitzvot and the complete fulfillment of our national mission.  However, their power is coming to an end.  Like the candle which flares up just before it sputters out, the Erev Rav have become emboldened and even more openly anti-Torah in these past days...

LIBERMAN SETS OUT RELIGION AND STATE DEMANDS FOR ENTRY INTO GOVT

“We will not concede on passing the ultra-Orthodox conscription law, in its original format,” he wrote. “We will not concede on [the demand to] repeal the mini-markets law. We will not concede on [demands for] public transportation on Shabbat. We will not concede on [demands for] civil marriage, and we will demand the inclusion of core curriculum studies in the ultra-Orthodox education system. These are our preconditions, and until we hear words in this spirit, there is nothing to talk about.”

Liberman also accused the ultra-Orthodox parties of engaging in incitement toward him, noting that senior United Torah Judaism MK Moshe Gafni had compared him to Amalek, the ancient enemy of the Jewish people.

“We want a normal country in which the citizens will live in accordance with the principle of live and let live,” Liberman wrote on Facebook.

"We do not have anyone to trust except our Father in Heaven." This is not just an encouraging slogan that means simply to rely on Heavenly grace; rather it is part of the list of curses that will come upon Israel at the End of Days.  Before the arrival of Mashiach, the exile will be extremely harsh under the rule of the airev rav and the Jewish nation will experience a crisis.  G-d-fearing Jews will lose hope in the great battle, and they will become lax in their battles for Hashem.  Then, instead of becoming reinvigorated and continuing to wage "war" in order to increase the honor of Heaven and to defend the true belief, a curse will come from above, and people will murmur "we do not have anyone to trust except our Father in Heaven," this at a time when action and deeds for the sake of Heaven will be sorely required of them.

The truth is that actual warfare should have taken place [a spiritual threat is countered with physical battle, a physical threat is countered with spiritual battle, i.e prayer and fasting], but because of the lowliness of their situation, the remnants of the exile will find themselves so enveloped by the weighty peels and thorns of the airev rav, that they will not have the ability to go out to battle as did our forefathers, the Hasmoneans. The numerous "Hellenists" will greatly outnumber the few "Maccabees," so there will be no one able to stand up to try to protect them. Their inability to wage war directly does not testify to the fact that they have lost hope; rather, it forces them to wage a conflict in a circumventive way.

The secret of Amalek's success in their war against the Jews is due to the latter's spiritual laxness. The absence of Torah learning and fearing of G-d in Israel invites the airev rav in general, and especially Amalek, to swoop down on us in battle. Therefore, the rectification that will cause the weakening of this power of Amalek is intensifying the study of the Torah. Every Jew who studies Torah by himself, teaches it to his children, and strengthens Torah study and fulfillment by others enlivens himself and the world by streaming life through the arteries of the Jewish Nation, and also thereby fulfills the commandments of eradicating Amalek in an indirect way.

...The goal is to spread Torah and the fear of Heaven in public and to teach the Nation of Israel that Hashem is true and His Torah is true. In order to accomplish this, on no account must we act individually, but we must unite into a single unit and become a spiritual force*, because the activities of individuals cannot compare with the power of the united masses in quantity, in quality, and in the help and aid that Heaven affords.

The reality of the exile under the airev rav obligates us to build a plan truly relating to it, and to uproot from our hearts false ideals that have become imbued because of the lack of understanding of the true opinion and ideals of the Torah. The assumption that we and the airev rav constitute a single nation is patently invalid, because the airev rav disconnected themselves from the Nation of Israel, thereby canceling our obligation towards them as full-fledged Jews. For this reason, we are obligated to view the airev rav as a peel that has cut itself off from the living fruit - to recognize that they are another nation that has usurped the Jewish mannerisms and customs, show them in their true light, and abhor their new values and ideals and their rebellion against the Kingdom of Heaven.

...In the End of Days the task of separating the good people from the evil ones must take place. We must recognize and differentiate between the airev rav, who have removed from themselves the yoke of the Torah and the fear of Heaven, and the good simple people who, in spite of the fact that they have become lax in their fulfillment of the Torah and mitzvot, still retain the title of Israel by honoring and appreciating Torah and Torah learners.

In addition, the external classification must be accompanied by an internal separation from the airev rav. Each one will have to uproot from his heart the influence of the airev rav. Each one will have to acknowledge the despicableness of the culture of the airev rav and abstain from it. His children must be educated to detest their evil and to distance themselves from any elements of the airev rav. A virtual Noah's ark of Torah and holiness must be built and one must cut off from the media of the culture of the airev rav.

...The "testing point" of the generation at the End of Days is the observance of the holy connection between Hashem, Torah and Israel. The final test that each Jew will be confronted with before the redemption is the choice between adhering to the Holy One, may He be blessed, to His Torah and His nation, or to disassociate himself from them, Heaven forbid.

The test of the belief in the Holy One, may He be blessed, will be expressed by the proper observance of the Shabbat. The test of selecting the Torah of Hashem will be manifested by the positive recognition of the Torah, its leading scholars and its students. The test of belonging to the true nation of Israel will be manifested by demonstrating outward Jewish religious identification and by severing themselves from the entity of the airev rav and from non-Jewish culture.

The AWAKE JERUSALEM event scheduled for September 30 - October 12, 2019 is part of an older event called THE DAY OF PRAYER FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM.

The Day of Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem is a prayer meeting organized by Pentecostal evangelists Jack W. Hayford and Robert Stearns through their organization "Eagles Wings". They annually invite people around the world to pray for Jerusalem on the first Sunday of every October, close to the time of Yom Kippur.  The first prayer meeting organized by this group occurred in 2004.

Hayford and Stearns organize the primary meeting in Israel. According to a CBN interview with Stearns, he believes that prayer meetings are important to combat various dangers to the Judeo-Christian worldview,....

...According to a press release issued by the Knesset Christian Allies Caucus, the Day of Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem was originally established in cooperation with Israel's Ministry of Tourism, and the Christian Allies Caucus of the Knesset.

The event [was] endorsed by Chief Rabbi Yona Metzger, former USSR Prisoner of Zion and Knesset Member Natan Sharansky, Chairman of the Knesset Christian Allies Caucus (KCAC), Yuri Shtern, and the Deputy Mayor of Jerusalem, Yigal Amedi and the Knesset Christian Allies Caucus. (Source)

The Erev Rav have created a huge chillul Hashem.  By making common cause with these Christians, not only are they putting vulnerable Jews at risk; not only are they committing a huge sin by enabling and then participating in an act of avodah zarah; they are giving the Christians reason to believe that Jews are ready to cross over to their false religion, God forbid!! ...as can be seen and heard on these next two videos:






We need to be absolutely sure that we share no responsibility for this.  We need to pray to HKB"H and declare that the Erev Rav "leadership" does not speak for us, that we are heart-broken over the desecration of God's Name, His Holy City and His Holy Land, and had we the power to stop it, we would do so immediately, without any hesitation.  And then, we need to pray that HKB"H will, without any further delay, send us our Righteous Mashiach to deliver us out of the power of the Erev Rav just as Moshe Rabeinu delivered us from the power of Pharaoh.

For it is prophesied that by this, HKB"H will know that we have done real teshuvah...

"Therefore, through this shall Jacob's iniquity be atoned for, and this shall be the fruit of his sin's removal:  When he makes all the altar stones like ground chalkstones, and Asherah-trees and sun-idols arise no more."  (Yeshayahu 27.9)

...when we will have eradicated idolatry from our Land and destroyed every sign of it.  

["gods of wood and stone": The stones today are associated with the Ka'aba of Islam, and the trees to the wood of the cross of Christianity, while the sun-idols likely could represent every other false system.]

The Erev Rav is helping to spread idolatry, increase its numbers, protect it with police and soldiers and establish its "rights" in law!!!  Mashiach will come to undo all of that and we will help him!!

"...As we shall see, their distinct end times narratives share an implicit antisemitism creating the movement’s paradoxical love/hate relationship with the Jews. Far from positive, the obsessive 'philosemitism' – or love of Jews – of Christian Zionists is tied to a volatile and changing view of the end times that also changes their view of how they should 'support' Jews and Israel in fulfilling prophecy. And this obsession has a history of turning ugly."
