Is the Tide About to Turn?

24 Kislev 5781
Erev Hanukkah

About ten days ago, I posited that the nine-month global control of "wicked Rome" aka The New World Order could be ending at the onset of Hanukkah (March 11, 2020 - December 11, 2020: Nine Months!).  I wrote then: "It will be a very positive sign if they are unable to lock us down on Hanukkah.  Even though this is their plan, if they do fail to lock us down on Hanukkah, it will be the first time since Purim that we were free on a holiday."  

All week long, the media has gone back and forth on this issue, first reporting no curfew, then reporting yes a curfew. After the idea was shot down by several knowledgeable sources: illegal to impose, impossible to impose nationwide, not effective enough to be worth the disadvantages, etc., the Corona Cabinet deferred making a final decision until tomorrow, even though the curfew was set to begin today.  Right now, it remains to be seen whether a nighttime curfew will be imposed or not, but the possibility is strong that it will fail.  That's what we are hoping to see.

UPDATE:  This just in...

(TOI) After abandoning a plan to impose nightly curfews to drive down coronavirus infection rates, the government is considering rolling out a ban on visiting others’ homes in the afternoon and evening hours during the upcoming holiday of Hanukkah, according to television reports. 

Channel 12 says the government will approve the order on Thursday and would be effective each night from 5:30 p.m. until midnight. 

It’s not clear how such a ban would be enforced.

Will update further as a final decision is announced.

Another positive development which occurred today is the sudden development of adverse reactions in the general pubic receiving the first vaccine doses in the UK.

This might cause a lot of people to slam on the brakes with regard to rushing to take a novel, poorly tested vaccine at the same time that TPTB seem hell-bent on rolling it out as fast as they possibly can.

The news of the hour, of course, is the formation of a new political party called "New Hope" with Gideon Sa'ar at its head and the setting of March 16, 2021 (3 Nissan) as the date for new elections.  Anytime the rule of the Erev Rav threatens to collapse it's a good news day.  And the new party name could be an unintended prophecy.  Perhaps, we will even have Mashiach by then!!

There is, however, one more piece of news that I am on the lookout for and should it materialize, that will clinch it for me.  I'll just hold onto that card until I see what happens.  Should know for sure by the end of the holiday.  

Speaking of which, I'd like to wish all the readers the happiest and most hopeful of Hanukkah holidays in this year of 5781!
