What Does Hashem Want From Us?

21 Menachem Av 5781

Erev Shabbat Kodesh

Parashat Eikev

We're coming up quick on Rosh Chodesh Elul and the beginning of the Forty Days of Awe. Time to start getting serious. Here are a few salient quotes from the parashah which should give us pause as we  contemplate our teshuvah.

...You shall faithfully observe all the Instruction that I enjoin upon you today, that you may thrive and increase and be able to possess the land that the LORD promised on oath to your fathers.

...Bear in mind that the LORD your God disciplines you just as a man disciplines his son. Therefore keep the commandments of the LORD your God: walk in His ways and revere Him. For the LORD your God is bringing you into a good land,....

...When you have eaten your fill, give thanks to the LORD your God for the good land which He has given you. Take care lest you forget the LORD your God and fail to keep His commandments, His rules, and His laws, which I enjoin upon you today.

...Remember, never forget, how you provoked the LORD your God to anger in the wilderness: from the day that you left the land of Egypt until you reached this place, you have continued defiant toward the LORD.

...And when the LORD sent you on from Kadesh-barnea, saying, “Go up and take possession of the land that I am giving you,” you flouted the command of the LORD your God; you did not put your trust in Him and did not obey Him. As long as I have known you, you have been defiant toward the LORD.

...And now, O Israel, what does the LORD your God demand of you? Only this: to revere the LORD your God, to walk only in His paths, to love Him, and to serve the LORD your God with all your heart and soul, keeping the LORD’s commandments and laws, which I enjoin upon you today, for your good.

...Love, therefore, the LORD your God, and always keep His charge, His laws, His rules, and His commandments.

From the Haftarah:

I will make your oppressors eat their own flesh, They shall be drunk with their own blood as with wine. And all mankind shall know That I the LORD am your Savior, The Mighty One of Jacob, your Redeemer.

It Bears Repeating - Over and Over Again

 20 Menachem Av 5781

DON'T BUY INTO THE OFFICIAL COVID NARRATIVE!  THEY ARE LYING TO US ABOUT EVERYTHING!!

I've featured this quote before as part of a larger agenda.

It's a screenshot from an October 2020 video about a master plan leaked from the Canadian Prime Minister's office.  So far, everything seems to be going according to plan except the timing is a bit delayed.  And instead of calling the mutation COVID-21, it has been named "Delta."    

When has it ever occurred in the entire history of the world - that any disease would suddenly spin off multiple versions of itself, each time becoming more lethal as it goes?  The Black Plague didn't do it.  The Spanish Flu didn't do it.  And when, in the entire history of medical intervention, has a "vaccine" ever failed so miserably to confer immunity?? [See: More Vaccinated People Are Dying of COVID in England Than Unvaccinated.]

If anything, this could be the ultimate proof of something man-made in a lab because things like this just don't occur naturally.  In nature, when viruses mutate, it is to become LESS lethal so that the host will be more likely to survive - so the virus itself will survive and continue to multiply.  Also, in the past, vaccines were a way to give the person a less lethal version of the disease and depend upon the natural immune system to develop an immunity to any future contact with the organism.  And it was always understood that there was potential for a vaccinated person to pass on the disease right after vaccination.  [See Vaccine-derived Poliovirus.]  That's why there is a sudden "surge" of cases each time a new group becomes eligible for the vaccine.  

There is simply no way that the COVID-19 pandemic is anything other than BIO-WARFARE and The Powers That Be behind it are crass enough to brag about the windfall they are getting from it.  [See Pfizer now expects COVID vaccine sales to reach $33.5B this year, a whopping $7.5B bump from its estimate 3 months ago.]  That means that everyone involved in pushing the agenda is a potential war criminal.

Israel Begins Pfizer Covid-19 Vaccine for At-Risk Children Under 12 as Delta Cases Surge

Yifat Shasha-Biton stands out in the current government, but she faces tremendous opposition.  She is, at least, trying to prevent the vaccines from being brought into the schools where its administration would surely be most successful.

Gravitas Plus: The Lab Leak Theory

The US/Iran (Unconventional) War

18 Menachem Av 5781 

Have you ever heard of "The Persian Gulf Crisis"?  No, I'm not talking about the Persian Gulf War of 1991.  This is the name that Wikipedia has given to the unconventional warfare that has been taking place between the United States and Iran since 2019.

The Persian Gulf crisis is the ongoing state of heightened military tensions between the Islamic Republic of Iran and the United States and their allies in the Persian Gulf region. Starting in early May 2019, the U.S. began a buildup of its military presence in the region to deter an alleged planned campaign by Iran and its non-state allies to attack American forces and interests in the Persian Gulf and Iraq. This followed a rise in political tensions between the two countries during the Trump administration, which included the withdrawal of the U.S. from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), the imposition of new sanctions against Iran, and the designation of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organization. In response, Iran designated the United States Central Command as a terrorist organization.

...The crisis escalated in late 2019 and early 2020....

When Trump had Soleimani assassinated and then COVID-19 came along and the whole world became distracted by a more clear and present danger. (Ahem.)

The "Attachment" to Edom (Eisav)

16 Menachem Av 5781

The following blog post is self-explanatory and requires no commentary from me. 

..."the kingdom of Edom" refers to the last of the four empires of the world foreseen by Daniel (chapters 4-5): Babylonia, Media, Greece, and Rome. Rome, as world power, is long since dead and gone. But its heritage, Western Civilization, rules the world. Our Rabbis indicate that the kingdom of the Messiah will grow up in the context of Western civilization. Indeed, the parable of "the heel of Esav" signifies that the spiritual failure and moral bankruptcy of that civilization will be the catalyst for the coming of the Messiah.

...[The] Maharal - properly understood - has described how the kingdom of the Messiah emerges from the breakdown of Western civilization.

But this is not all. Maharal's vision is guided by veiled hints in the Midrash: the "Kingdom of Israel" itself undergoes development. In its immature stage it forms part of the Fourth Empire, and only when it reaches maturity does it throw off this attachment and emerge as "the holy kingdom of the Messiah". (Source)

MK Matan Kahana, 
Minister of Religious Svcs

What do gov’t’s opening shots on religious issues mean for the future?

 ...Kahana and his Yamina Party set out in their coalition agreement with Yesh Atid initiatives specifically to reform religious life in the Jewish state, in line with the moderate brand of religious-Zionist Judaism he extols.

These include decentralizing the kashrut supervision market, decentralizing conversion and changing the electoral body for selecting chief rabbis.

The idea is not to separate religion and state as secularists would like, but to give greater choice and freedom to Israeli citizens regarding religious life.

 Religious councils to be required to have representation of women - report

 Religious Affairs Minister Matan Kahana has decided not to allow the establishment of religious councils in Israel unless they have an "appropriate" representation of women in the council, according to Walla! News. 

Matan Kahana Drives a D9 over Chief Rabbinate’s Kosher Certification Monopoly 

 Any corporation of three city rabbis is free to set its own kosher standard, which they claim is according to halacha. For example, they may opt to certify the kashrut of a business that’s open on Shabbat. Rabbis will be able to decide to give kosher status to a business that is open on Shabbat.

Shas chairman Aryeh Deri said Kahana’s plan is “crushing the Jewish identity of the state.”

The Chief Rabbinate Council on Tuesday issued a sharp attack against the Minister of Religious Affairs’ kashrut reform. In an unusually harsh statement, the Rabbinical Council said:

“The Chief Rabbinate of Israel rejects outright the dangerous initiative of the Ministry of Religious Affairs to destroy kashrut in Israel. The ‘plan’ presented today for changes in the kashrut system means the abolition of kashrut in the State of Israel, opening a bazaar of entities with business interests that will grant kosher status, and providing an opportunity for every macher (functionary) to grant kosher status with a singular result: the destruction and ruin of the kashrut.

“This is part of a general trend of a war on religious services whose ultimate goal is the abolition of the Jewish identity of the State of Israel.

Religious Affairs Minister Sidelines Chareidi Vote in Appointment of Dayanim

The Judicial Appointments Committee is expected to appoint six Dayanim to the regional beis din and three dayanim to the Grand Beis Din.

...Religious Affairs Minister Matan Kahana (Yamina), intends to push a bill this coming Sunday, appointing women to positions filling half of the committee. This move will give him full control via a majority in the Judicial Appointments Committee so that he will not have to reach out to the chareidi factions to join in an agreement for appointing the new Dayanim.

MK Matan Kahana at the Jerusalem Prayer Breakfast 2020

Meet "Pastor" Steve Berger - "Good Friend" of Israeli MK Matan Kahana, Minister of Religious Services

MK Matan Kahana w/"Pastor Steve" at the Jerusalem Prayer Breakfast event at the Knesset - June 2021

...Maharal continues: So long as the kingdom of the Messiah has not yet reached perfection, the kingdom of the Messiah is attached to Edom (nigar el Edom) ...The holy kingdom of Israel... must grow out of the non-holy kingdom that preceded it.

...there are two processes advancing simultaneously. There is our effort down here to advance the messianic goals, and there is the action of Divine Providence - in the guise of human political decisions - to weaken the husk... until suddenly, the "end" will be reached, the husk will fall off, the revolution will arrive and the Messiah will be revealed.

"The Closing Window of Opportunity"

THE CLOSING WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY

"I implored G-d at that time saying, My L-rd You have begun to show your servant Your greatness and Your strong hand, for what power is there in the heavens or on earth that can perform according to Your mighty acts? Please let me cross and see the good Land that is on the other side of the Jordan, this good mountain and the Lebanon."

What was bothering Moshe, that he felt that he just had to enter into the Holy Land? If he was like the great majority of the Jewish people throughout the generations, he certainly would have been happy, quite happy to stay put in the exile and not enter. What made him so possessed that he prayed more then 500 times to enter the Land? The Talmud answered that Moshe wanted to fulfill the commandments of the Torah, something which is done in the exiles only so that we shall not forget them when we come into the Land - what one might call a practice run. But now that the Jewish people were so close to entering the Land of Israel, Moshe wanted the real thing, to be able to fulfill G-d's commandments in the Land.

Similarly, we find King David, who was forced out of the Land of Israel by King Saul, saying: "Why have you taken me out of the inheritance of the L-rd, saying, go and worship idols?" Now would anyone think that the great David would go and worship idols? Rather, David was saying: The mere fact that I have been exiled from the Land, it is as if I am worshiping idols. So, too, Rashi states that one who lives outside the land of Israel is as if he has no G-d.

So much greatness awaits the Jewish people in the Land of Israel, not only on a personal level but also on a national level. For as long as the Jewish people stubbornly hold on to the exile, the Redemption cannot come. We find in the times of Ezra and Nechemiah that only a small minority of the Jewish people heeded the cry and returned to the Land of Israel. The great majority, the important ones, the leaders, the gedolim stayed in beloved Babylon. They said: Certainly G-d is not going to bring the Redemption though King Cyrus, a non Jew, this is not the way of redemption, we will tell G-d how to redeem the nation - so they stayed.

The Midrash teaches us that because they did not come back to the Land, the Divine Presence also did not return in full, and so the Second Temple period, which could have been the Final Redemption, was doomed from the start. What became of all those who stayed behind? All the important Jews? They all died out, intermarried and were lost for all generations; only the riffraff, the "no good" ones who came to the Land of Israel survived - and we are their descendants.

In the book "Eim Habanim Smeichah", Rabbi Yissachar Teichtal, who lived during the years of the Holocaust, cries out that all of the troubles that are befalling the Jewish people are coming because there is no awakening to come up to the Land of Israel. Excuses they had for not coming home: the Jews who are in the Land are not religious, G-d will not redeem His people though the nations of the world. Once again we were teaching G-d how to redeem His people, and once again the exile ended bitterly for the Jews.

As I look out from my home in Mitzpe Yericho, I can see the mountains of Nevo, the same mountains where Moshe stood and implored G-d to allow him to come into the Land. But Moshe Rabenu's dream of entering the Land was not fulfilled, and here I am, together with my family, able to walk the width and length of the Land. Not just me, but anyone can today come up to the Land. With so much greatness and holiness here, what, then, is holding all my brethren back? Why are they not here beside me? As history has proven over and over again, the window of opportunity is not forever open. Now is the time to enter and embrace greatness, now that the door remains open. Take hold of her while there is still time!

Blessings,

Levi Chazen

A World In Turmoil...

13 Menachem Av 5781 

A World Under Judgment.

...In the era of redemption, Ishmael will rise up and become strong while still hating Isaac, Jacob and their descendants. They will provoke kings and nations, while the world is sinking into a chaos of wars and tragedies. ...All of this will occur in an age of global collapse, which G-d will bring in order to punish the nations, sanctify His profaned name, defeat and eradicate false gods and religions, and publicize His Oneness to all the world. 

(Source: Ohr Hara'ayon, Vol.II, Chapter 29 "The Time of the Redemption" by Rabbi Meir Kahane, Hy"d, ztz"l)

There Is Judgment and There Is A Judge

A WALLER (HAYOVEL) UPDATE

 11 Menachem Av 5781

If by some crazy chance you don't know to whom or what the title refers, please just search this blog.  There are numerous articles, even a series of them, here detailing everything possible about an insidious missionary plot which has met with much success due to renegade, turncoat Jews and their 'rabbis' who have made it all possible.

For years and years, we tried to convince them that Tommy Waller and Hayovel were not what they pretended to be.  They said, "Bring us proof."  When we did, they said it was old information.  "They've changed now," they told us.  Well, here it is 15 years later, and the proof is still there (and current to last month) if anyone cares to know.

And despite his claims to the contrary, Tommy Waller has the same enemies he's always had among the Torah-faithful Jews.  I am very happy to be counted among them.  We detest and condemn the impurity and judgment he brings upon us and on our Holy Land with his idolatrous worship of the Christian god here.  And not only him and his family but also the hundreds and hundreds of other idolaters he is responsible for bringing here throughout all these years.  Now, he wants a million of them to join together in the Shomron and in Jerusalem to pave the way for their anti-messiah who is NEVER coming back.  Who do you think they are going to blame when he doesn't?  Who do they always blame in the end??

That's What It's Really About

10 Menachem Av 5781 

"...הֲשִׁיבֵ֨נוּ יְהֹוָ֤ה אֵלֶ֨יךָ֙ וְֽנָשׁ֔וּבָה"

We want our Holy Temple back so HKB"H will return His Presence to our midst and so that we can come as close as possible to Him in this world.  What it will look like when it happens...

Yechezkel, Chapter 43

1   And he led me to the gate, a gate that faced eastward.  [Sha'ar HaRachamim]

2   And behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east, and its sound was like the sound of abundant waters, and the earth shone from His glory.

3   And it was like the appearance of the vision that I saw, as the vision that I saw when I came to destroy the city, and visions like the vision that I saw by the river Chebar, and I fell upon my face.

4   And the glory of the Lord came to the House by the way of the gate that faced eastward.

5   And a spirit lifted me and brought me to the Inner Court, and behold the glory of the Lord filled the House.

6   And I heard Him speaking to me from the House, and a man was standing beside me.

7   And He said to me, Son of man, this is the place of My throne and this is the place of the soles of My feet where I shall dwell in the midst of the Children of Israel forever, and the House of Israel will no longer defile My Holy Name, they and their kings with their harlotry, and with the corpses of their kings in their high places.

8   By placing their threshold with My threshold and their doorpost beside My doorpost, and the wall was between Me and them, and they defiled My Holy Name with their abominations which they committed, and I destroyed them with My wrath.

9   Now they shall distance their harlotry and the corpses of their kings from Me, and I shall dwell among them forever.

10 You, Son of man, describe the House to the House of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities; let them measure its plan.

11 And if they are ashamed of all that they have done, let them know the form of the House and its scheme, its exits and its entrances, and all its forms, and all its laws and all its teachings, and write it down in their sight so that they keep the whole form thereof and the laws thereof, and do them.

12 This is the teaching of the House; Upon the top of the mountain, all its boundary round about shall be most holy; behold, this is the teaching of the House.

13 And these are the measurements of the altar in cubits; the cubit, one cubit and one handbreadth, but the base one ordinary cubit, and such a cubit also for the breadth; and likewise on its border, going one span to its edge all around, and equally so the very top of the altar.

14 And from the base on the ground to the lower ledge shall be two cubits; and the breadth, one cubit; and from the smaller ledge to the greater ledge, four cubits; and the breadth, one cubit.

15 And the altar hearth shall be four cubits, and from the altar hearth and above, the horns shall be four.

16 And the altar hearth shall be twelve cubits in length by twelve cubits in breadth, square to its four sides.

17 And the ledge, fourteen cubits in length by fourteen cubits in breadth, to its four sides, and the boundary around it half a cubit, and its base a cubit all around, and its ascent will look towards the east.
 
18 And He said to me; Son of man, thus says the Lord God: These are the ordinances of the altar on the day when it will be made, to offer burnt offerings thereon and to sprinkle blood thereon.

19 And you shall give it to the priests, the Levites, who are of the seed of Zadok, who are near to Me, says the Lord God, to serve Me, a young bull for a sin-offering.

20 And you shall take of its blood and place it on its four horns and on the four corners of the upper edge and to the border around, and you shall purify it and make it fit for atonement.

21 And you shall take the bull of the sin-offering, and he shall burn it at the end of the House, outside the Sanctuary.

22 And on the second day you shall offer a he-goat without blemish for a sin offering, and they shall purify the altar as they purified it with the bull.

23 When you have completed the purification, you shall bring near a young bull without a blemish and a ram without blemish from the flock.

24 And you shall offer them before the Lord, and the priests shall cast salt upon them, and offer them up to God as a burnt offering.

25 For seven days shall you make a he-goat for a sin-offering every day, and a young bull and a ram from the flock without blemish shall they make.

26 For seven days shall they effect atonement for the altar, and purify it and dedicate it.

27 And when they have completed the days, then it shall be that on the eighth day and thenceforth, the priests shall make your burnt offerings and your peace-offerings on the altar, and I will accept you with satisfaction, says the Lord God.
