"Ships From Kittim"

20 Sivan 5785

I've been working on the blog post I promised on Yom Rishon.  I had hoped to have it up today, but it's not quite finished.  I had to stop to insert this new information I just received, but allow me first to refer you to Shirat Devorah's blog post about Rav Ron Chaya's recent message as it is central to the rest.

Excerpted from her summary (read it in its entirety at the above link)...

How does Moshiach come?

The great non Jewish prophet Bilaam from the parsha Balak, which we will read in four weeks time. Bilaam speaks about the End in two verses.

"Alas! Who will be able to survive when God will impose these things?" [Balak 24:23] "Ships from the Kittites will afflict Assyria, and afflict those on the other side. But he, too, will perish forever.” [Balak 24:24]

It is Yishmael who will do us harm at the End of Days. As it is written in Pirkei Rabbi Eliezer, why are the Arabs called Ishmael? because in the end they will do a lot of harm to Israel. The people of Israel will cry to G-d and G-d will listen [i-shemael] and will answer. It is a verse in Tehillim, G-d will listen and answer us.

Now we come to the ships from Kittim. While there are many interpretations of these ships, the most famous one comes from Rabbi Yonatan ben Uziel who says that these are soldiers/armed fleets that come from the west and they will attack what is today known as Iraq. This was actually the Gulf Wars when the allied forces came by boat to attack Iraq. But now it is the other side of the "river" and it is Iran, and the boats will come from the distant shores of the west: America and England as was the case in the Gulf war.

It would seem that America will soon enter the war against Iran because Trump wants to get rid of the Shi'ite leadership... note that 85% of the Iranians are not fanatical Shi'ites who just want to destroy Israel.

[I have to insert here...  Iran’s FIRST ‘Direct Attack’ On US; American Embassy In Tel Aviv Damaged Amid Massive Blasts  (Happened this morning!!  It's being reported in many, many places.)] 

Iran has threatened to attack U.S. bases and that's all they have to do to provoke Trump. He's going to be red-faced, and he's going to smash them into little pieces. And then we'll see Bilaam's prophecy.

Regarding the other part of that verse "But he, too, will perish forever.” ....The attacker is therefore America.... so how could America be lost for eternity? Perhaps for example Putin has said he won't hesitate to press the button...but besides that, the great economists of the world say we are on the verge of an economic crash in America, called the End of the Kingdom of Wall St... i.e. the stock market. It will be finished. The dollar will no longer be needed. When Moshiach arrives the dollar will be worth nothing at all - zero.

Many, many people are commenting around the world how fast things are moving.  Military advisors and commenters around the world are astonished at how quickly Israel has attained their goals - way ahead of the timelines set.  Is this the fulfillment of "in its time, I will hasten it"?  

Because, dear readers, the ships of Kittim are already on the way!!

From Israel Realtime Updates...

▪️ALLY MOVEMENT - (1) The US and Britain (?) are increasing their presence in the Middle East: The US aircraft carrier Nimitz will join the aircraft carrier Carl Vinson. Britain is sending another aircraft carrier to the region from the Indian Ocean.

(2) Aircraft trackers report that 26 US military air refueling tanker planes took off simultaneously from the US headed east, apparently towards the Middle East although possibly towards a US military exercise in Finland. The large number is very unusual.

(3) USAF C-17 cargo aircrafts with additional missile interceptors for the THAAD ballistic air defense systems are airborne from the US to the Middle East.

🚨‼⚠ MAJOR GLOBAL ESCALATION AS IRAN WITHDRAWS FROM NPT; U.S. AND ISRAEL PREPARE MILITARY RESPONSE TO IRANIAN-LED ATTACKS

🚨 The global security posture is shifting rapidly. NORAD has raised its alert level, and the U.S. has launched over 30 military transport aircraft from the mainland. Simultaneously, 28 Air Force refueling tankers—part of the same mission set that initially included 26—are now being repositioned to Ramstein Air Base in Germany, signaling large-scale operational staging. The USS Nimitz carrier strike group is en route to the Indian Ocean, joining British forces already stationed there. U.S. B-2 stealth bombers at Whiteman AFB and bombers at Diego García are also under heightened monitoring.

⚠ In a major political move, Iran’s parliament voted to withdraw from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), as lawmakers chanted “Death to Israel, Death to America.” The Iranian regime is also weighing a closure of the Strait of Hormuz, threatening a vital global trade route. Separately, one Iranian missile landed just a few hundred meters from the U.S. Embassy in Israel, raising alarm over the proximity and intent of Iranian aggression.

💥 In response, the Israeli Air Force—guided by the IDF Intelligence Directorate—conducted targeted strikes on Quds Force command centers in Tehran. These sites, operated by the IRGC, were reportedly used to coordinate terror attacks across the region via Iranian-backed proxies.

🟥 The U.S. Air Force has deployed C-17 cargo aircraft from the mainland carrying THAAD missile interceptor systems to bolster regional defenses, as U.S. and allied forces prepare for potential escalation.

‼ BREAKING: The U.S. is planning a “limited retaliatory action” in response to the Iranian-led attack on its consulate in Israel. Intelligence agencies are on high alert for signs of an imminent Iranian nuclear test, while Israel is expected to carry out major strikes in the coming days.

HASHEM YISHMOR!!  We are watching the development of WW3, which immediately precedes the revelation of our righteous Mashiach, in real time. 

REMEMBER and DON'T FORGET!!

"And (God) will say to them, ‘My children, do not fear, because everything I did, I did for you. Why are you afraid? Don’t be afraid. The time has come for your redemption’.”
