The across-the-board euphoria over a second Trump presidency amid the steady flow of announcements of pro-Israel cabinet picks, is awe-inspiring, but not in a good way.
Here is one example from Yeshiva World News...
...Huckabee is a staunch defender of Israel and his intended nomination comes as Trump has promised to align U.S. foreign policy more closely with Israel’s interests as it wages wars against the Iran-backed Hamas and Hezbollah.“Mike has been a great public servant, Governor, and Leader in Faith for many years,” Trump said in a statement. “He loves Israel, and the people of Israel, and likewise, the people of Israel love him. Mike will work tirelessly to bring about Peace in the Middle East!”
What a warped view of reality!!
This is Eisav coming with his 400 men on the eve of redemption to finish the job he intended to do on the road back from Padan-Aram. This is Eisav coming on the eve of his own ultimate destruction to ensure that Ya'aqov never rises to the level of Yisrael.
They are coming with promises of annexation and integration - a One State Solution with peace and prosperity. The "Jewish" State becomes a state of all its citizens. Jews, Chr*stians and Muslims - the Three Abrahamic Faiths - will have equal standing in the land with the rights of idolaters to practice their avodah zarah and entice Jews to convert protected by anti-Torah laws. Oh, that's right, we're already there.
Even more missionaries will flood the country to fulfill the American vision of Peace in the Middle East, most prominently the US Ambassador...
The new US Ambassador to Israel is not alone with this idea. Hundreds of thousands, if not millions of Chr*stians the world over would agree...
Introducing ONE FOR ISRAEL...
Established in 1990, ONE FOR ISRAEL began as a Bible college and has since expanded to a multi-faceted ministry with the express goal of reaching Israelis with the Good News of Yeshu*, training and equipping the Body of Messiah in Israel, and blessing our community with Yeshu*’s love.
The story and ministry of ONE FOR ISRAEL is part of something much larger – the miraculous restoration of the Jewish people and the miraculous unity between Jewish and Arab believers in J*sus.
We are seeing not only the physical restoration of Israel after a 2000-year exile, but a spiritual revolution is taking place right in front of our eyes. Jewish people are returning to their God and accepting the Messiah in numbers not seen since the early church! Not only that, but many Arab people are coming to the Lord and many Arab believers are finding a deep unity with their Jewish brothers and sisters.
ONE FOR ISRAEL exists to do ministry within this miracle.
We are Jews and Arabs, together serving Messiah J*sus, sharing the Gospel with Israel and the world, making disciples, training leaders, and blessing our communities in the name of Yeshu*.
These are the "Jews" - apostates and mesits - that these Chr*stian characters love and the Israel that they support due to "shared values."
Right now, they are giving the benefit of the doubt to those who haven't "yet" converted, because they have been strongly led to believe, through the "relationships" they have formed here, particularly with "Orthodox" Jews, that a great potential exists for this massive conversion they are expecting. This is something that in itself is a chillul Hashem which I don't know how the Chr*stian-loving Jews will ever be able to atone for.
It goes bigger and wider than just Huckabee. Consider Jay Sekulow...
This joining of Arabs, Jews and Chr*stians is the primary goal of this organization which was established to be the path to peace in the Middle East. It's the New Testament vision of the ONE NEW MAN which we've covered in this space over and over again. As it says on the ONE FOR ISRAEL "Arab Ministry page"...
This has been the Roman plan for controlling and ruling the world since Constantine capitalized on the errors of a Jewish sect following a false messiah which was then hijacked by a renegade "rabbi" calling himself Paul the Apostle.
There are more misguided Jews who, while not quite ready to have all the Jews convert, do sincerely believe that everyone would be better off if the Arabs became Jew-Loving, Israel-supporting Chr*stians.
The solution for peace in Gaza is Jesus
We need a Christian Gaza for Middle East peace
by Jonathan Feldstein of Genesis123
Do they really need to be reminded of the 2000 years of Chr*stian atrocities against Jews? This animal does not change its spots, only its tactics. What they propose is still a shmad just by other means, that's all.
And people who would love to do us the favor of allowing us to join their One World Religion, thereby saving our souls in the process, are still our mortal enemies. It's up to us to say so and warn our real Jewish brothers and sisters about the danger.
Of course, our enemies will not succeed with the klal, but there are already too many individual casualties of this 2000-year-old war. How much more so when Jews stop recognizing the threat and the danger and perceive it as love and blessing, welcoming the enemy inside the gates. God forbid!

For further interest: Thousands of Gazans will become Christian, Palestinian Evangelical predicts
...In Saada’s vision, the solution is a two-state solution in which the Palestinians continue to live in Gaza, but Israel gains oversight and authority over the West Bank. He told Rosenberg that the Palestinians would first undergo a period of integration and ultimately become citizens of the State of Israel.
“We can plant a seed in the hearts of the younger generation,” he said, “putting hope in the hearts of the Israelis and Palestinians to see that there is a way; there is an idea that we can live together in one state: Israel, with the West Bank.”
This is what the promise of "annexation" is meant to bring us to, ever further afield from our Torah mandate. Don't fall into this trap by buying into their philosophies. Hold fast to the Torah miSinai. And don't lose hope.

Oh Yea, definitely Eisav coming to the 'rescue', chas v'sholom.
ReplyDeleteIt is so obvious, as soon as I heard that. I said H' has really set
everything in motion. Let's pray that H' is speeding up our Geulah
because many players seem to be in place for that great and awesome day.
Thinking about all this, it seems that the left is getting their beating
so the other side is taking its place; the whole thing is such an obvious

Wake up yehudim, time to realize that there is only one choice: HASHEM! Do Teshuva, even for just your own sakes.

Devorah Chayah, as the picture says at the end, "it's always darkest before the dawn", and "things are usually at their worst just before"...l wonder whether we're in for a bigger surprise than anything you've presented here. Perhaps what actually happens will seem even worse at first, until the truth becomes clear, be"H.
ReplyDeleteWhat really matters is that we draw nearer to HaShem as we draw closer to the end of the final chapter of His distance from us as a people.
I don't claim to know what, but this seems to be a time of seeing things we don't understand. BTW, I didn't vote at all.
All very upsetting.
ReplyDeleteThe worst part imho is that many frum Jews just don't get it. Having an enemy is bad enough. Being unable to distinguish between friend and foe is worse.
Celebrating Trump, happy they don't have to make aliya, happy over the missionary appointments, Rubio is also some kind of evangelical.
Shooting the messenger, rationalising it's those Jews, not us, tightening the echo chamber, hostility towards the mere mention of aliya, whilst באו גיום בנחלתך, every Jew has a nachala in EY. When a Jew doesn't take it, someone else does.
More salt in the wound for me personally, I heard today that Huckabee is planning on living in my yishuv.

Considering Trump's nominations so far, I would expect the far left and far right to explode in chaos. I'm already seeing rhetoric about Zionism taking over America. I've seen hundreds of comments on Twitter from people saying that the nominees care more about Israel than America. So that civil war could still happen. On the other hand, Yaacov did promise Eisav that he would meet him later. We still need to have that meeting in Paran.
ReplyDeleteSickening to say the least. I can't imagine that Muslims would fall for this, given there belief that every non - believer in Islam is a heretic. I can't imagine that Muslims would by into this en-mass like unfortunately many Jews do. I don't think we have seen the same Islam - Xtian interfaith relationship that we see with Jews. They just don't buy it.
ReplyDeletei didn't read all this, but...is geula postponed? with biden or with trump geula is coming, and there are no way back, but instead of seeing good in God's Plan some concentrate only on bad, who's better? No one, except God and only Him, some emuna is needed here
ReplyDeleteBy not reading it you don't really know what it says so how can you pass judgment? Ignorance may be bliss but only until reality intrudes. The biggest enemy of emuna is ignorance. Especially when a person's emuna is built on falsehoods. And right now the most dangerous falsehood in the religious Jewish world is that Trump is a friend and is going to bring the geulah through his actions on our behalf. The facts prove just the opposite. The presentation of truth to counter the lies is meant to set emuna on a solid foundation where it cannot be shaken. You are right "only Hashem" but I'm not doing this for the benefit of those who already believe that. There is a lot of misplaced faith out there. We have to do what we can to set people straight so they can weather the storms upon us without losing faith completely.
DeleteI can't find the video now, but a tsadik from Bnei Brak, Rav David Chaim, I think, just said that Jews putting their trust in Trump is what is delaying the geula. Precisely for this reason, I had hoped that Kamala would win, for which other Jews scolded me. But I guess then there wouldn't be this test of emuna. The tsadik said that Trump could go either way for the Jews, it depends on us and where we put our trust.
DeleteFrom the same shiur, the rav talked about the frum world going crazy over Trump, not his precise words, but the gist. Then he said from tehillim

In other news Israel is expected to give Trump a 'gift' of a ceasefire in Lebanon, and we all know Arabs never respect a ceasefire, it will just allow Hezbollah to make a comeback.
Friends don't make friends put themselves in danger.

Even if the author of this blog is correct about the nefarious intentions of Huckabee and others, it is beside the point. Hashem is using them to bring the true Mashiach by destroying Iran.
ReplyDelete"Even if"? Did you not hear it from his own mouth?
Delete"...it's beside the point"? Sir, you missed the point!!
The point is that your brothers and sisters are falling injured or worse, left and right on the road of this war for hearts and minds. Of course, Hashem uses these people as tools. He'll use them like He used the Nazis and the Bolsheviks and the Cossacks and the Crusaders, like He is even now using Hamas and Hezbollah and even Iran. But that doesn't mean we go blithely on our way like nothing is happening if fellow Jews are falling prey to lies that make them trust our enemies as if they were also our brothers.
This trust and fellowship with Chr*stians is assur on its own even without the dire consequences of bringing them into the klal and giving them access to weaker elements of our society. Some people have a lot to answer for.
If someone were about to pet a poisonous snake and you yelled watch out for the snake, it's poisonous, the warning should be appreciated. In our case, I spend hours and days of my life gathering evidence to present because these Jews say "prove to me it's a snake," or even "prove to me it's poisonous. Where is the evidence?" And this in the very presence of the evidence.
Then they'll come back and say, well that was last week. Maybe this week it's something else or maybe it will become a non-poisonous snake at some time in the future. Even if it were possible, how does that mitigate the damage it can do today???
The Americans have all their own reasons for destroying Iran that need not involve us. Hashem can use them to destroy Iran if that is His will and we have no mitzvah to get involved with it and no need to cultivate and nurture friendships with idolaters that bring missionaries into the fold as a result. Hashem does not need us to sin in order to bring redemption!!!!!
Trump certainly excels at Eisavian arrogance and braggadocio. Even though he has lobbed bombs on occasion, he clearly means it as show. One time he boasted openly that he allowed Iran to react to one of his actions to save face, or something.
DeleteHe lacks the bloodlust of his neocon Eisavian counterparts in Clown World that never saw a war it didn't want to start or make 100x worse. He even has a distaste for it.
Despite all the hoopla surrounding this appointment, and talk of annexation, I think an imposed settlement is the likely outcome.
Unlike "Biden," who despite media accounts, never really put a stop to the flow of arms, Trump will probably carry through on those previously empty statements.
Considering this war is being waged by wicked leaders, as bad as an imposed settlement would be for the medina, and I believe it would be, given the sentiment of the rest of world, it would be good for the people, just by stopping the slaughter of the best of Israel (the people) in a war they have no intention of winning or ending. BE"H may there be so much more.
One of my neighbors in my yishuv (I think this is the first since the war started last year) recently lost their oldest son in Lebanon. Just from the few pictures I saw of him when davening there during shiva, he was clearly the light of his parents' lives. They are broken. What a tragedy. It was hard not to break down crying myself.
Ed, the start of the geula process was with arayot. Arayot are absolutely forbidden to Jews, and non Jews for that matter. How Hashem acts is His ways. As Jews we have to keep the Torah. No Torah Jew should be ok with having a missionary US Ambassador to Israel. And just as arayot should not be praised, nor should missionaries. Also, no-one can say conclusively how Hashem is bringing the geula. The Rambam says we will only know how it unfolds when it occurs. And it has not yet come to pass. In the meantime we have to behave as Torah Jews, trusting only in Hashem. Stanning Trump and his appointees is delaying the geula.
DeleteHitoreri
No, Devorah I am not missing the point. I never endorsed befriending, or even associating with, Christians. In fact, I've contributed substantial sums of money to Yad L'Achim for thirty years. But the way that the world has developed is that the Zionist state has invited them in. Hashem achieves his purposes based on the world that has developed due to the free will of human beings. The best example is the Cheit HaEigel--Chazal and numerous commentators (like the Sforno) teach that the world would have been much different without that sin.
ReplyDeleteSo given that the Zionist state has befriended Christians, Hashem has to use them to achieve his ultimate purpose of bringing Mashiach. Hashem is doing that by putting them in positions of power, where they think that they are bringing their Messiah, but are ultimately going to bring the real Messiah. Remember that part of the process is Goyim being forced to admit that they are wrong about who the real Mashiach is. In order for that process to play out, you need Goyim who actually believe in a Messiah. That is why you have the evil Shia Muslims in Iran (who think that they are bringing their Messiah), confronting fundamentalist Christians like Huckabee (who think that they are bringing the Second Coming).
I take real issue with the way you express yourself, Ed. Hashem doesn't "have" to do anything. And there is absolutely nothing in any source I can think of that says either the Chr*stians or the Jews "bring" Mashiach. HKB"H does that with no help from us. We are only responsible to pray for and be ready for that day. Trying to make things like that happen gets people into a lot of trouble.
DeleteSo Jews don't bring Mashiach by doing Mitzvos and learning Torah and are only responsible to pray for that day? Do you realize the implications of what you are saying?
DeleteWe are clearly not speaking the same language. We could go back and forth forever me trying to explain what I meant by what I said. And I'm sure you'll find some way to misunderstand and misrepresent it, so think whatever you want. That's what you are going to do anyway. This exchange is at an end.
DeleteRemember this, the first redemption from Egypt is a pattern for the final redemption. So say our sources. That redemption did not depend on any contribution from the Egyptians. We actually merited redemption because we did not assimilate into Egypt and we stayed separate from them. I guarantee you that the righteous Jews of that time did not gather with the Egyptians to pray together, neither did they praise Egypt or ask HKB"H to make Egypt great again. Any Jew who made such common cause with Egypt would have perished in the plague of darkness. The Jews made no efforts specifically aimed at bringing Mashiach (Moshe). They kept their heads down, tried to fulfill ratzon Hashem to the best of their ability under horrific restrictions and cried out to Hashem for deliverance. Those cries were heard and Hashem called Moshe, met him at the burning bush and sent him back to Egypt to redeem us. Even when it came to the showdown between Moshe and Paro, it was Hashem and Moshe together, we played no part but watched and followed instructions. We made ourselves ready to go and that's what we should be doing now. It's understood that we must always continue our daily mitzvot and Torah study which keeps the world going every day and mitigates the judgment against us. But when it comes to redemption, especially redemption in its time, all we can do is cry out to Hashem and trust Him to fulfill His promise. It's going to happen whether we deserve it or not, whether we believe it or not. It's programmed into the fabric of existence from the creation of the world.

ReplyDeleteContrary to the opinions of a number of blogs and a couple of prominent rabbi's who promote deep state donny as a prominent figure in bringing mashiach, I have to call this euphoric delusion for what it is, idolatry! Hashem does not need any narcissistic, globalist beaurocrat to reveal mashiach. The fools promoting this shtuyiot are leading neshamot astray.
-----stingray-----
Regarding delaying the geula, I have heard three things from big tsadikim:
ReplyDelete1. Both Rav Kook of Tiveria and the Yanuka said Jews not making aliya. The Yanuka on video, Rav Kook, unusually for him, publicised a long letter about it some time in the last year. Also, in Em Habanim Smeichah Rav Teitel HYD writes about this at length with sources.
2. Putting our trust in anything, person, country, etc, other than Hashem.
3. Not being or having been in a place of tsaaka. Rav Zamir Cohen writes about the six stages of the final geula, as based on yitziat mitzrayim. The tsaaka was the turning point. After that was a hardening of conditions, then mapach hanefesh (being crestfallen?) and then, the actual geula.
I have never heard that calculations, predictions, dreams and the like hasten the geula. When in doubt, stick with ratzon Hashem: emuna, tefilla, aliya.
Hitoreri
Or that Eisav (Christian America/Europe) is going to "do teshuvah" and help us bring geulah and we can't do it without him? Even though all the prophets teach us that Eisav will be utterly destroyed. Great advice! Thank you.
DeleteThat too. I honestly dont' understand, aren't the proponents of that view afraid of what they will have to answer to Hashem. In addition to the view itself, it is leading people astray from the ikar.
DeleteInter alia, any child can see that Hashem is closing down the galut, but saying so puts one in social Siberia.
Hitoreri
ReplyDeleteThe common denominator in all this is the lack of JEWISH EDUCATION.
We, the people of the book, are the most uneducated and unappreciative people on the face of the earth. We were chosen by Hashem to be His children, His people and yet they have no concept what our mission is on this earth. So comes the children of Eisav and think they can usurp our inheritance. No way! Hashem made sure to let the world know that His Covenant and Promise to Am Yisrael is for all eternity! We, the people, are to blame for not giving our children the most important education on earth, Torah! Everything else is nothing compared to the Guidebook of Life = Torah!
We don't know what awaits us and the world because we have sunk so very low; those who do not want to listen and learn should be very afraid. We get chance after chance, and do not learn from our mistakes. I personally think that many Jews are not Jews and maybe that is why we have now at the end of days so many new converts, who seem to have Jewish neshamot and jews who seem to turn leftward or towards avodah zoras of all kind might never have had Jewish neshamot. The way you can tell is by their choices at this end times. Their ignorance is the fault of their parents and upbringing so that is not their fault but when they choose avoda zora over their
heritage, then something is wrong.
We have no one to rely on except our Father in Heaven; we have reached the point where we need nissim v'niflaot!

ReplyDeleteI'm already working on a post about this. Remember, chazal say that at the End of Days, HKB"H will bring back all of our historic enemies for their final judgment. If this does not convince the deluded Jews of the inherent evil (not chesed) in America (who after all saved and imported many, many Nazis), I don't think anything will.

DeleteI heard in a shiur of Rav Yaakov Maor, that the reason for Haman Harasha's rise to power was the Jews' over-rejoicing at having one of their own in the White House, ehm, the king's palace, thinking that they could put their trust in her.
ReplyDeleteTragically, a German Jewish woman wrote to President von Hindenberg to ask for assurances for her safety. He replied very positively, give her the requested assurances. He had been a big friend of the Jews, until six months later he called on Germans to vote for yemach shmo.
Some frum Trumpists are so blinded, that nothing one says makes any difference to them. We don't know how events will transpire. We do know the job of a Jew, and our history. The Jews of the Shoah did not have the in living memory hindsight that we do. "Friend" can become foe, the unimaginable can occur.
