Jews Are Obligated to Fight the Erev Rav

6 Av 5785

While our Sages tell us that this is the bitterest enemy of all, it is the most vulnerable and least defended front of this multi-front war...

"The last governments in Israel are from the Erev Rav."  (Yehudit's Vision)

"Before the arrival of Moshiach, most of the rabbis will be from the Erev Rav,...."  (Divrei Chaim, Parashas Vayakhel)

The joining of Eisav and Yishmael is the result of Armelius, the ministering angel of the Erev Rav, who are able to destroy the Jewish people and the entire world, may God have mercy.  The main drive of the Erev Rav is to unify Eisav and Yishmael and to separate the two moshiachs.  Therefore, our main work and battle is to break and to remove the strength of the Erev Rav… from the Jewish people.  The Erev Rav is our greatest enemy…[and] works only through deception and in roundabout ways.  Hence, the war against the Erev Rav is the most difficult and bitterest of all.  We must strengthen ourselves for this war, and anyone who does not participate in the battle against the Erev Rav becomes, de facto, a partner with…the Erev Rav, and is better off having not been born. (Kol HaTor, Ch. 2:2:2)  [See more.]

GoguMagog: War On Every Front

5 Av 5785

I am one-hundred percent convinced in my own mind, and have been since day one, that the Simchat Torah Massacre was the opening shot of the Final War - GoguMagog.  Like I wrote in the past, it's also the Third Messianic War.  Same war from two different perspectives.

It can't be anything else, all the nations of the world have turned against us and are rising up against us to drive us from the world.  On the very day the following announcement was made... 

15 more countries are expected to work toward recognition of a Palestinian state at the UN General Assembly in September, during a conference initiated by France and Saudi Arabia [Eisav and Yishmael] at UN headquarters in New York. Among the countries that have expressed willingness for recognition are Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Finland, Luxembourg, Malta, Portugal, San Marino and additional countries, some of which have already published similar recognition in the past, including Spain, Ireland and Norway.  [Also the UK and Germany.]

...the world got a wake-up call.

Note: "Currently, among the 193 UN member states, around 140, including Russia, China, and Spain, recognize Palestine as a state."  (Source)

Chasdei Hashem, it looks like that's all it's going to be for now - another wake-up call - but judgment IS coming.  Guess when the UNGA is meeting...

80th Session of the UN General Assembly (UNGA 80)

Event date. Tuesday 9 September, 2025 - Tuesday 23 September, 2025

The 23rd of September is 1 Tishrei 5786

JUDGMENT DAY FOR THE WORLD

A Decision 20 Years in the Making

4 Av 5785

Better late than never.  Only a Rav of the caliber of HaRav Dov Lior, shlita, would have the courage to do it.  May his days be lengthened and his influence spread far and wide as he continues to faithfully lead klal Yisrael.  

In answer to a shailah submitted by three rabbanim, HaRav Lior has paskened that it is forbidden to cooperate with or accept any support or assistance from the organization "HaYovel" which has now (conveniently) been rebranded as "The Israel Guys".

"Take Vengeance for the Children of Israel...."

29 Tammuz 5785
Erev Shabbat Kodesh/Rosh Chodesh
Parashat Mattot - Masei

This war which came in the wake of the Simchat Torah Massacre was meant to be a war of vengeance.  Judeo-Chr*stianity says protect enemy civilians at the risk of your sons' lives; feed your mortal enemies so that they have the strength to go on fighting and killing you without end.  

Authentic Torah Judaism says...

Excerpted from "War of Vengeance" 
by Rabbi Meir Kahane, ztz"l, Hy"d

...Hashem spoke to Moses, saying, “Take vengeance for the Children of Israel against the Midianites; afterwards, you will be gathered unto your people." (Num. 31:1)  Moses spoke to the people, saying, “Arm men from among yourselves for the legion that they may be against Midian to inflict Hashem's vengeance against Midian." (Num. 31:3)  

Great is revenge for it resurrects G-d, proves His existence, and humbles the arrogant sinner so that the righteous and the world joyfully declares (Ps. 58:12), “Verily there is a reward for the righteous.  Verily there is a G-d Who judges on earth.” 

In this regard our sages said (Tanchuma, Matot 4), “Moses yearned to see G-d's revenge on the Midianites before his death, and he would ask G-d to let him see it with his own eyes.  Of Moses it says (Ps. 58:11),  'The righteous man shall rejoice when he sees vengeance.'”  It says here, “Moses yearned.”  He did not merely wish or hope, but he yearned.  The righteous yearn to see revenge against the evil, for it proves that “there is a G-d Who judges on earth.”  

By contrast, whoever relents from revenge against Israel's enemies is actually giving up on avenging G-d, for whoever attacks the people of Israel is actually attacking the G-d of Israel by showing that he does not fear Divine retribution.  Our sages said (Sifri, Matot 157):  “The L-rd spoke to Moses saying, 'Take revenge for the Children of Israel against the Midianites'... Moses spoke to the people saying, 'Detach men for armed service against Midian, so that the L-rd's revenge can be taken against the Midianites'” (Num. 31:1-3): This is in praise of the righteous. They do not depart from the world until they take revenge on behalf of Israel, which is the revenge of Him Who brought the world into being."

G-d told Moses to take revenge “for the Children of Israel", and Moses called it “G-d's revenge,” to inform us that the two are the same.  Our sages also said (Sifri, Beha'alot'cha, 84):  “Arise, O L-rd, and scatter Your enemies!  Let Your foes flee before You” (Num. 10:35): Can He Who created the world be said to have “enemies”?  Rather, the verse informs us that if someone hates the Jewish People, it is as though he hates G-d.  Elsewhere Sifri teaches (Matot 157): Moses told them, “You are not taking the revenge of flesh and blood, but of Him Who brought the world into being,...."  

Something or someone must bring down the Erev Rav regime which sees itself as more moral than its Creator, refuses to do what it takes to win this war and subsequently, desecrates the Name of God in the world.  Instead of being a "light," they force us into a state of deeper darkness.

...it would still be a Chr*stian ministry; a missionary organization concentrated on building relational bridges between the Jews of Judea and Samaria and Yeshu - the false man-god they worship on the hills of Israel's "heartland."

HAYOVEL, known by many for its missionary agenda, is rebranding itself as "The Israel Guys" - a generational change featuring Tommy Waller's offspring.

Quote:  "We're still doing the same volunteer projects and Israel trips that we've been doing for the past 21 years, nothing changing there.  ...Same mission..."

Likud: The Hidden "Left"

27 Tammuz 5785 

There is a recurring refrain - "Only Likud Can...,"  as in...

• Only Likud Can Prevent a Leftist Government
• Only Likud can prevent dangerous concessions
• Only Likud Can Make Peace with Palestinians

Here is what I know...

• Only Likud gave the Chr*stians carte blanche in Israel
  -  (Before Begin): Christians in Israel Suffer Prejudice From Jewish Bigots
  -  (Begin):  Prime Minister Meets the Evangelists
  -  (Begin): The Bridge Builder 
  -  Netanyahu, American Evangelicals and Israel
  
• Only Likud made the first Land for "Peace" deal with Egypt (Begin again!)
• Only Likud gave away Hebron, City of the Patriarchs to our enemies. (Netanyahu!)
• Only Likud uprooted Jewish settlements and razed Jewish homes and synagogues!!
  - (Begin): Yamit
  - (Sharon w/ Netanyahu vote)  Gush Katif
• Only Likud allowed a wholesale invasion of the Land with accompanying atrocities which rival the Holocaust!!!
• Only Likud has sold out this country to rule by a foreign power - the USA.

When will we stop proving the truism that the definition of insanity is repeating the same action over and over again but expecting different results? When will we ever accept the facts that Likud is our worst internal enemy precisely because we keep trusting them despite all evidence that they are most untrustworthy???

Face it!  We have lost this war because what Likud can't do is win!!

Setting the Record Straight on Taybeh

26 Tammuz 5785

Addressing another aspect of the Huckabee "blood libel"...

UPDATE!  The Israel Police spokesperson announced on Monday evening, "Contrary to false reports and following recent foreign media coverage regarding the alleged arson within the archaeological site of the Church of Saint George in the village of Taybeh, we wish to clarify that these reports are factually incorrect, lack any evidentiary basis, and risk misleading the public."  The spokesperson added that “findings gathered on the ground unequivocally show that no damage or harm was caused to the church site itself.”  

[See US envoy:  I did not blame Jews for Taybeh fire.]

Via "Bree A Dail on X"... 

Posting from @ElishaYered’s account of what happened in Taybeh. Is this about grazing rights dispute?

Were @LPJerusalem and @GovMikeHuckabee misled? 

 “In recent days, a despicable and false blood libel has been raging around the world against the settlements, reminiscent of dark periods in Europe, and it has so far managed to deceive quite a few lovers of Israel in the US.

Before we get into the details, let’s emphasize and clarify: No “nationalist crime” event by Jews was carried out, no church was set on fire, and no cemetery was desecrated. Exactly the opposite—Christian Arabs from the village of Taybeh set fire to open areas four times in one week to prevent Jews from grazing there.

Here are the facts:

• The cattle herders at Rimmonim Farm in Binyamin have been suffering for a long time from harassments, attacks, and arsons in the grazing areas, including from the village of Taybeh—a nearby Christian village.

• On 03/07, Arabs from the village set a fire in the grazing areas to prevent the possibility of Jewish grazing there. Additional arsons also occurred on 07/07, 08/07, and 11/07.

• The event that sparked the uproar happened on 07/07. For the second time that week, Arabs from the village set a fire that began spreading rapidly. The farm’s residents rushed to the scene with motorized blowers and fire beaters—the ultimate tools for dealing with fires in open areas—and managed to gain control of the blaze. At the same time, the flames also spread toward the village, but the farm residents insisted on fighting to extinguish that hotspot as well, even though they could have easily said “let them eat the porridge they cooked,” and they stopped the fire just before it reached the line of houses, where, among other things, there is a church and an ancient cemetery.

• Throughout the entire event, no damage was caused in any way to the church or the cemetery, and they certainly weren’t “completely set ablaze” or “suffered heavy damage”—thanks in part to the residents who fought the fire with their bare hands. This is a fact, not an interpretation. See the drone photo that shows it clearly.

• This is where a wild blood libel began, aimed at turning the arson event from Arab-Christian terror into “Jewish terror.”

• Photos of Jewish youths battling the flames with blowers and beaters were published by Israel-haters and branded as “settlers fanning the flames they ignited.” Widespread condemnations ensued, large Christian delegations visited the site, and senior US administration officials called for the Jewish arsonists to be brought to justice.

• But what’s the big problem? To date, not a single complaint has been filed with the police. I’ll repeat that: The police have been investigating the event for a week to uncover the truth and catch the arsonists, a global campaign is underway, and in the village—where they are supposedly 100% convinced that Jews set the fire and even openly fanned the flames—they simply refuse to file a complaint with the police.

Do you have any idea why?

In the attached documentation: Tweets of the delusional blood libels about “fanning the fire,” actual fire extinguishing using blowers, the farm’s cows in the grazing areas, and a drone photo of the church that was “completely set ablaze.”

NO CHURCH BURNING AT ALL!!!!

In point of fact, the "church" in question is an archeological
site, not an active place of worship as seemed to be portrayed by Huckabee.  And he had to know that because he is standing
in front of it in the CBS video!!

URGENT Follow-up to Huckabee Visa Complaints

26 Tammuz 5785

It is URGENT that as many as possible see the following video evidence of the real consequences of this visa issue which Amb. Huckabee has publicized.  

The Begin Likud government was the first to invite evangelical Chr*stians to build a church in Jerusalem.  It started with an offer of CLERGY VISAS.  (See this 1.5-min video proof.)

As you watch this 5.5-minute video below, you will see the documented evidence of where it led, how it spread, and how many people ended up in missionary ministry in Israel as a result.  And this is just ONE MINISTRY called King of Kings.

US, Israel reach resolution on issue of visas for visiting Christians after row goes public

A solution was reached yesterday to the issue of visas for visiting Christian groups — which dominated headlines last week after a furious letter from US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee was leaked to the press — in a meeting yesterday between the Prime Minister’s Office, the Interior Ministry, and the US embassy, an Israeli lawyer who represents Christians in Israel tells The Times of Israel.

“Thanks to the hard work and fruitful cooperation between the US Ambassador, the Ministry of Interior and the Prime Minister’s Office, a solution has been reached to the satisfaction of all parties,” says Calev Myers. “The Evangelical Christian organizations active in Israel, which represent the vast majority of Zionists in the world today, will receive all of the visas they need through a streamlined and efficient application process.”

In his letter to Interior Minister Moshe Arbel last week, Huckabee threatened to publicly declare that Israel no longer welcomes Christian groups to Israel over what he said was Jerusalem’s failure to approve tourist visas for evangelical missions.

Once again, the issue was never about "tourist" visas for Chr*stians "visiting" Israel.  This is about A3 visas for resident clergy and staff of resident Chr*stian organizations.  This one did manage to get one thing right when they called them "missions"!! 

CLERGY VISA TO ISRAEL
(Pay special attention at 2:08)

Hundreds, if not thousands, of 'support' staff are now entering on "clergy" visas.  Each person granted one of these visas is allowed to bring spouse and children with them and all of them are eligible for this visa which is only renewed once a year and up to five years.  However, the State is not strict with these rules.  After three years of living in Israel they can apply for citizenship!!

To obtain Israeli citizenship through naturalization as a non-Jew, a resident must live in Israel for three consecutive years with permanent residency status. Additionally, they must demonstrate that Israel is their primary place of residence and prove a certain level of Hebrew language proficiency.

* * * 

We were warned.  It was only a matter of time.  

Mike Huckabee is a Baptist pastor, missionary supporter, and US Ambassador to Israel.  He has been a darling of the settler elite in Judea and Samaria for quite some time.  The following clip is taken from events at the end of May 2025 Jerusalem Prayer Breakfast...

CBS Report with Ambassador Huckabee

This follows along from the Ambassador's misleading "Visa" accusations...

Report: Huckabee blasts Israel for not granting visas to US Christian groups, threatens reciprocal steps

US Ambassador Mike Huckabee has written a scathing letter to Interior Minister Moshe Arbel, blasting his office for not granting visas to Christian groups trying to visit Israel, Channel 12 reports.  ...Huckabee sent copies of his letter to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, President Isaac Herzog, Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar, Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer and Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana.

[Minister Arbel responded]:  “Given the direct line of communication between my staff and your representatives,” writes Arbel, “and in light of the fact that every request received by my office has thus far been handled promptly, I was particularly surprised by the manner in which your concerns were raised — and by your decision to address your letter to a wide range of senior officials without first approaching me or my office directly.”

You can see more details here and here.  If you need more, just Google it.  There must be 20 articles which I did not take the time to read but each one has a threatening, demanding and insulting headline. They clearly wanted the whole world to know!

The thing is, it's being portrayed as an issue of hassling Chr*stian tourists, but nothing could be further from the truth!  Tourists from the United States do not need to pre-apply for a visa to visit Israel. It is automatically granted on arrival and no one asks your religious or political views.

However, if one intends to stay long term, one must leave Israel and re-renter to renew the three-month tourist visa (over and over again) and that is a thorn in the side of the missionaries, especially groups like Hayovel who serve as a conduit for funneling in so-called Christian Zionist (Judeo-Chr*stian) agricultural workers. 

The only visa presently available for long term Chr*stian workers is the A3...

Eligibility Criteria: A/3 Clergy Visa - Must be invited by an established and recognized religious organization in Israel. Must provide evidence of their suitability for the religious assignment, such as ordination credentials or theological school certificates. May need to undergo an interview at an Israeli mission.

From what I've been able to gather there might have been some kind of "understanding" about the possible granting of blocks of visas to organizations to be disbursed as they saw fit.  If anyone has any actual proof of this, please forward it to me.

AllIsraelNews reports...

...A similar problem had appeared to have been solved almost two years ago, when ministry officials apologized and vowed to streamline the process of issuing clerical visas to Christian organizations, which enables their staff to stay and work in Israel for a period of several years.

...According to quotes from Huckabee’s letter published by Israeli media, the ministry had subjected each organization to independent, detailed and bureaucratic investigation processes, requiring documentation of their religious beliefs and activities in Israel. For the duration of these processes, the groups were reportedly denied new visas.

Ynet (cited above)...

"As of the beginning of 2025, the Visa Department has stopped honoring the recommendations and has launched an independent investigation of each of the evangelical organizations to determine whether they should be recognized as religious institutions and whether they should continue to receive visas. This includes organizations such as the Baptist Conference in Israel, the Christian Missionary Alliance and others, some of which have been active here since before 1948. The vast majority of them are located in the United States. All of them were required to fill out huge questionnaires. To my knowledge, none of them have received new A3 visas for religious leaders since the beginning of the year. We simply requested that the visa department return to status quo," Huckabee wrote.

“As the U.S. Ambassador representing President Donald Trump, I am formally demanding that this deteriorating relationship with the Department of State be resolved so that this matter does not escalate further,” Huckabee added. “It would be deeply regrettable if our embassy were to be forced to publicly announce throughout the United States that the State of Israel no longer welcomes Christian organizations and their representatives and that, instead, it is engaging in harassment and negative treatment of organizations with longstanding ties and positive engagement with Zionism. We will be further obligated to warn Christians in America that their generous donations to organizations in Israel are being met with hostility, and that tourists should reconsider travel until the situation is clearly resolved.”

Such inciteful language no doubt helped to fuel Matt Gaetz's diatribe based on the false narrative suggested by the Ambassador's skewed version of events and the very unprofessional way he has chosen to deal with it.

The following is a MUST hear.  Tell me this is not a modern day Chr*stian Blood Libel!!!

Is Israel Not Safe For Christians?
Matt Gaetz Weighs In On Huckabee Warnings Of Visa Backlash


They mean for us to throw open the flood gates for millions of missionaries.  They want to build back up the Chr*stian population of the Holy Land whose demise was the only thing we could actually thank the Muslims for.
One thing is eminently clear. The United States, at every level, no longer considers us as a sovereign state, but truly and wholly subservient and beholden to them and therefore, subject to their every demand and whim. Hashem yishmor!

Have You Heard the Term "Biofortified"?

20 Tammuz 5785 

Today was the first I'd heard of it, so I looked it up. I figured the readers might be interested, too.

BIOFORTIFICATION

Biofortification of staple food crops has emerged as a very potent solution to tackle this problem of deficiency of nutrients in developing countries where a large section of the population cannot afford enough fruits, vegetables, legumes, fish, and other food products to meet their essential nutritional requirements.

Biofortification is the process of developing micronutrients – rich food crops using the best conventional breeding practices or via genetic modification using modern biotechnology. It differs from ordinary fortification and it focuses on improving the nutrient profile of the food crop as it grows and matures instead of manually adding nutrients to the food while it is being processed.

Biofortification is a realistic and cost-effective source of conveying micronutrients to those populations who have limited access to different diets and other micronutrient interventions.

 What is Biofortification?

Importance, Strategies, Examples

Many countries across Africa, Asia, and Latin America are actively engaged in biofortification efforts to combat micronutrient deficiencies. These efforts often involve integrating biofortified crops into national agricultural and nutrition agendas, policies, and programs. Examples include Bangladesh, India, Nigeria, Kenya, and Rwanda.

While biofortification research and implementation is more prominent in developing countries, both China and Russia are involved in biofortification efforts, with China having a more established program. The US and EU, while not majorly involved in biofortification, do conduct research and may utilize biofortified crops as part of their agricultural programs.

While there's no specific information indicating Israel is actively using biofortification as a widespread public health strategy like some developing nations, the country does have research and development in related areas. Israel is involved in research on biofortification of crops, particularly wheat, and has a strong focus on food security and alternative protein sources.  (Google)

Daniel's "Toes of Iron Mixed With Clay"

19 Tammuz 5785

In a recent blog post, I wrote, in part...

Based on this information that I gathered this morning, I am having a change of heart with regard to who is the "iron" and who is the "clay."  Logically, Russia shows itself to be completely identified as Eastern Eisav/Edom/Rome; however, history shows that it never had the reach or held the power that the West has.  After all, "the sun never set on the British Empire."  Russia's iron curtain fell because it no longer had the strength to maintain it.  The West won.  America was seen at that time (1989) as the last remaining world superpower.  

This was after discarding the idea that the clay mixed with iron in Daniel's vision (Daniel 2:33) was a representation of an End of Days alliance between Eisav and Yishmael, a position that made sense to me for a long time.  But, after reading Rashi's commentary, I began to rethink that idea.  

it will be a divided kingdom. It will be a divided kingdom; two kings will rise from it at once, strong and weak, as explained below (verses 41 and 42): “part of the kingdom will be strong.” 

and in it will be some of the strength of iron. Even the weak one will be stronger than the other nations through the strength of his fellow, for they will fear him. And this is the meaning of וּמִן נִצְבְּתָא דִּי פַרְזְלָא לֶהֶוֵא בָהּ; some of the strength of the stability of iron will be in the weak king.

In re-reading this, I have to hold by my most recent conclusion.  These two kings appear to me to be the leader of the Western Roman Empire (the US today) and the leader of the Eastern Roman Empire (Russia today).  And I think, for the reasons I laid out in the previous blog post, that Russia is the weaker of the two.  This is represented by the feet of that statue; however...

I now note that the toes are something else again - another phase of the breaking apart of the empire. 

(Verse 42)  And the toes of the feet were partly iron and partly clay, for part of the kingdom will be strong and part of it will be broken.

With regard to the feet, we are told that part would be strong and part would be "weak" and here, when it comes to the toes, part will be strong and part will be "broken".  

(Verse 43)  And what you saw, iron mixed with clay, connotes that they will mingle with the seed of men, but they will not cleave one to the other, as iron does not mix with clay. 

that they will mingle with the seed of men. They will intermarry with the other nations but they will not be at peace and truly cleave to them wholeheartedly, and their laws will differ from the laws of the other nations.

This is clearly something else.  We are no longer talking about the two kings who rise simultaneously and one is weaker than the other.  Now we are talking about two people groups who intermarry yet they do not assimilate among each other and they are in opposition to each other down to the point that they each live by a separate set of laws (Democracy and Sharia?).

Why is one people group designated as "men"?  The other is not designated; however, the implication is that they are something other than "men".  Perhaps pere adam? Abarbanel holds that this is Eisav and Yishmael.

Most interestingly, there are "moderate, Western-oriented" Arab states like Saudi Arabia who align themselves with the US and there are more "extreme Islamic" states like Iran who align themselves with Russia.

I can't say with any certainty at what historic point the 'toes' diverged from the 'feet', but there is a definite division there.  Also, I believe another major change is indicated here...

(Verse 44)   And in the days of these kings, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom forever, it will not be destroyed, and the kingdom will not be left to another people; it will crumble and destroy all these kingdoms, and it will stand forever.

I don't think it is referring any longer to Rashi's "two kings" but to ten kings represented by the ten toes, which is the subject of the verses immediately preceding this statement referring to the coming Messianic kingdom.

Daniel, chapter 7, describes yet another vision Daniel saw of the four empires, styled as "beasts", which would dominate the world throughout history.  In this vision, each empire was represented by a known animal, although not in its natural form.  They are symbolic:  1) a lion with eagle's wings; 2) a bear with three ribs in its mouth; 3)  a leopard with bird's wings, and 4) a "beast" with no equal in the animal world - "awesome, dreadful and exceedingly strong."

What interests me most in this vision is the fact that this beast, which is without doubt Rome/Edom, is described with ten horns which Rashi identifies as ten "kings" and which corresponds to the ten "toes" back in chapter 2.  

This vision gives us more detailed information about the period designated by the "toes" - the period immediately preceding the Messianic era and the very period through which we are currently living!

(Verse 8)  I looked at these horns and behold another small horn came up among them, and three of the first horns were plucked out before it, and behold eyes like human eyes were on this horn, and a mouth speaking arrogantly. 

(Verse 24)   And the ten horns that [sprout] from that kingdom [represent] ten kings that will rise, and the last one will rise after them, and he will be different from the first, and he will humble three kings.

On Daniel 12:1, Metzudat David says...

Then there will come upon Israel a time of distress the likes of which they will never have experienced until that time.  The small horn which represents the kingdom of Ishmael will cause them great distress.

Rabbi Chaim Vital on Psalm 124...

At the End of Days, Israel is destined to experience the Ishmaelite exile.  This fifth and last exile will be the most difficult of all.  It is the exile of Ishmael, who is  called pere adam, a wild man (Eitz Hadass Tov).

This resolves the matter for me.  I'm sure others will have their own ideas.  After all the Book of Daniel is "sealed" until the end.  We can only hope to understand the meaning after the fact and we are only now in this final period of exile.  

Be encouraged!  Any way you look at it, we are very, very near the end/new beginning!!

Missionaries of Zionism

18 Tammuz 5785

[This is critical information!  I urge all the readers to pay close attention to everything presented here and to please pass this blog post on, or at least tell friends, families and colleagues about what you will learn here.  Please!]

Religious Zionism needs to give up this oxymoronic association.  In their own minds they equate modern Zionism to Biblical "Zion", but they've lost the language war on this one.  Modern Zionism, which arose in the late 19th century, has no basis in Torah Judaism and does not even recognize the "Zion" of the Tanakh.  In fact, its aims and goals are antithetical to those of Torah Jews.

Remember what I've written about JH-Israel and their National Leadership Center in the Shomron; how they've targeted the youth of our nation to influence the worldview of our future leaders in line with Chr*stian theological interpretations?  

This is a long standing practice and tactic of the Church - to target children.  I was myself, as a teenager, part of such an effort, so I know of what I speak.  Already in the late sixties, the churches were hosting special programs geared to children.  In my case, it was called "Bus Ministry."  Poor and transient populations were targeted, specifically low-income apartment complexes (i.e. vulnerable people).  Two adults and one teenager would go and knock on doors on a Saturday inviting any children on the premises to Sunday School the next day with a promise to pick up the children in a bus and bring them back afterwards.  The kids were excited to go and the parents were glad to have some quiet hours on a Sunday morning, feeling their kids were safe with "church people."  We felt like we were doing a good deed and so did they, but there was a secret agenda at work nonetheless.  Once the kids had been coming for a bit, the parents would be invited and the kids would beg their parents to come - some did and some didn't, but it really wasn't very long before whole families would join the church only because of that bus "outreach" ministry. 

I, myself, converted to Chr*stianity at age nine as a result of a children's outreach ministry called Vacation Bible School.  It was like a day camp at the church during summer vacation.  What parents wouldn't jump at the chance to get rid of kids out of school for the summer and underfoot and bored (i.e. poor families again) for a few hours, especially since it was free and transportation was provided?  It would last two weeks and at the end, there would be a little "graduation" ceremony in the evening for the parents to attend.  Down the road, my whole family, with the one exception of my father, would become Chr*stians and join the church as a result of those tactics.  It has all now been passed down to my siblings' children and grandchildren because of that first attendance at Vacation Bible School.  

Thank God my own children escaped the Biggest Cult in the World along with me.  This is why I insist to people that Chr*stianity is spiritual pedophilia.  And no, that is not too strong a term to label it!  If you only knew!!

To the point, the massive Chr*stian intrusion into Jewish life in Eretz Yisrael (JH-Israel and its offshoots among them) has caused some Jewish organizations to take note of their method of success and are now emulating them.  Take for example The World Zionist Village,*...

‘Not just sentimental’: Christian leader Johnnie Moore on faith, Zionism, and Jewish-Christian bond

In an upcoming episode of the Jerusalem Post and Jewish National Fund-USA’s Zionist Talks, Breaking News Editor Corrine Baum interviews Rev. Johnnie Moore, President of the Congress of Christian Leaders and a globally respected evangelical advocate, about his journey to Zionism, interfaith cooperation, and religion’s role in peace efforts.

The interview is part of an inspiring series of interviews aimed at highlighting powerful voices in the Zionist community and celebrating the planned creation of the World Zionist Village.

...Moore sees the future World Zionist Village in Be’er Sheva, set to be completed in 2028, as a powerful opportunity to deepen Christian engagement with Israel and Zionism. As someone whose personal journey has included studying Theodor Herzl’s diaries and exploring lesser-known Christian contributions to early Zionism, Moore views the Village as both symbolic and practical. For Moore, the World Zionist Village represents a chance to bring faith, history, and education together in one transformative location.

Zionist Talk: Intro to World Zionist Village:
A Global Hub for Zionism
(Very Damning Video!)

In case you are thinking that the World Zionist Village targets young adults instead of children, think again.  As mentioned in the above video, they already have a high school - Alexander Muss High School - where they are preparing today the young adults of tomorrow who will benefit the World Zionist Village.

The goal here is insidious.  The bottom line is that under Trump and Netanyahu, the entire country and its future is being placed in the hands of all kinds of missionaries bent on seeing to it that Israel is no longer a "Jewish" State (if it ever was).  At the end of the day, everything is about destroying the Jewish people through rampant assimilation.

Our job is to resist and inform others and encourage them to resist and inform others and continue to spread the word until it reaches every corner of the Jewish world.  We have to be more virulent than our destroyers!!

Another tragedy - that we are still in mourning and remain unredeemed.

 Mourning the Assimilation of the Jewish People

An even greater tragedy is that the number of assimilated does not just include those who have abandoned any outward sign of Jewish identity, but chas v'shalom, also those who dress and act the part but whose minds and hearts have been completely given over to another god.

They love their comfortable exile. And this applies to Israel as well as the Diaspora. Their thinking has been corrupted while in its clutches and they aren't even aware of it.  They think we "share values" with the goyim!  How many Jews are left who can even think like an authentic Torah Jew? 

Hashem - please - deliver us today from this waking nightmare!  Bring an end to the darkness of rule by the nations and their willing partners - the Erev Rav!!  Let this be the real Beginning of the End and let our ending be a truly joyous one - a new beginning!!!  Amen.

"A Nation That Dwells Alone"

15 Tammuz 5785

Erev Shabbat Kodesh

Parashat Balak – Israel alone, a precious blessing – Rabbi Meir Kahane

“Behold! It is a nation that will dwell in solitude and not be reckoned among the nations.”(Num. 23:9)

[It is] G-d's decree that the Jewish People must remain apart, separate from the nations, so as to be cut off from their abominations, and their alien culture. Toward that end, G-d established for the Jewish People a special land of their own, the Land of Israel. There and there alone they would live lives of G-dliness and build a perfect state and society based on Torah and holiness. The concept of a Jewish People alone is tied to the concept that G-d is alone. G-d is alone and cannot be compared or equated to anything else. He is One and Unique, as it says (Deut. 4:35), “You are the ones who have been shown, so that you will know that the L-rd is G-d and there is none besides Him”; and, “To Him Who alone does great wonders” (Ps. 136:4). Just so, the Jewish People are alone, set apart from all the nations, as it says (Lev. 20:26), “I have separated you from the nations,” and, “It is a people that shall dwell alone and shall not be reckoned among the nations” (Num. 23:9).

Just as G-d stands apart from every concept in the world, so must Israel remain separate from all the other nations of the world. This is the intent of Ps. 148:13-14: “Let them praise the name of the L-rd, for His name alone is exalted... He has raised the honor of His People, the glory of His faithful followers, the Children of Israel, the nation close to Him. Praise the L-rd!” Although G-d is alone, and Israel are obligated to remain alone, they are still “the nation close to Him”. Between G-d and Israel there exists intimacy amidst total isolation. G-d is close to the nation set apart; ready to help them against every trouble and foe. As it says (Deut. 32:12), “G-d alone guided them. There was no alien power with Him”; and,“Israel shall thus dwell securely, alone” (Ibid., 33:28). He [G-d], alone, determines the fate of individuals, nations and kings, and we need not fear mortal man and his armies or being alone.

[As we find in Peirush HaMaccabee,] the Gentile sees physical greatness and might, and measures his chances of success accordingly. Balak, for example, told Balaam, Now, come and curse for me this nation, for it is mightier than me (Numbers 22:6). The Jew, however, knows that he is the fewest of all the nations (Deuteronomy 7:7) – yet he is exalted above all those nations if he is faithful to G-d’s covenant: "Five of you will pursue a hundred, and a hundred of you will pursue ten thousand" (Leviticus 26:8). Nonetheless, for those of no faith, or even of little faith, isolation is a frightening concept. Even observant and G-d fearing Jews are fearful of this concept. The person of weak faith longs for friends and allies, for help from strong nations against the surrounding dangers. Yet whoever relies on the non-Jew and his aid, and fears that without such aid the Jews and their land will be unable to survive, has been caught by lack of complete trust in G-d, bordering on denial of His existence. The individual Jew and the Jewish People as a whole will not be forgiven if they abandon their faith in G-d, the Supreme, Omnipotent King, Who rules over the world and over the nations. He, alone, is our salvation. Precisely this proves one's true faith and trust, for it is impossible that one who fears mortal man really believes in G-d. Real trust in G-d requires the Jew both to trust in Him and cast off all fear of mortal man and reliance on human aid. When one scorns the non-Jew's aid, this necessarily makes him trust in G-d. Conversely, as long as a Jew lifts his eyes in hope to the non-Jew and his aid, it is impossible that he will completely believe in the existence of G-d as a Supreme Power.

In conclusion, true bitachon (faith) means believing that G-d is all-powerful and is not impeded from saving the many or the few. It also means that if we obey G-d and His most difficult, ostensibly dangerous commands and mitzvot, no mortal power on earth can defeat us as a nation. Not only do we need not fear flesh and blood, but we are forbidden to lift our eyes to the nations and ask them for help. Whoever accepts this principle of bitachon unreservedly, truly believes that G-d is the One Supreme Power, G-d of heaven and earth. Whoever hesitates, whoever fears the non-Jew, shows that he questions G-d's ability to help His people. It is doubtful whether he completely believes in G-d as an Omnipotent Supreme Power.“ It is a people that shall dwell alone, and shall not be reckoned among the nations” (Num. 32:9) The nations have no say regarding Israel's future. The non-Jew is only a tool in G-d's hands, as it says, “O Assyria, rod of My anger” (Isa. 10:5). That is, Assyria and the other nations are nothing but a tool in G-d's hand, a rod and a staff with which to smite anyone targeted by G-d's anger. Neither Assyria nor any kingdom or monarch can rule by themselves over others, or even over themselves, for indeed, “Like watercourses, the king's heart is in G-d's hand. He turns it whenever he desires” (Prov. 21:1). It thus says, “He shall drive the enemy before you and shall proclaim, 'Destroy!' Israel shall thus dwell securely, alone” (Deut. 33:27-28). Following is Or HaChaim (Ibid.): “Israel shall thus dwell securely”: When? When they are alone. “They shall dwell” naturally follows  “He shall proclaim, 'Destroy!'” G-d commanded Israel to annihilate every soul of the inhabitants of the land. By doing so, “Israel shall dwell securely, alone”.

To our sorrow, those who try to pervert the separatist faith and trust of  “a nation that shall dwell alone” (Num. 23:9) by claiming that it is forbidden to rile up the nations, and that the Jewish People, even when powerful, still depend on the nations, have no faith and distort the whole concept of trust in G-d. The Jew who believes and trusts in G-d, will arrive at truth and faith and tranquility, whereas he who trusts in man, in human strength, will arrive at falsehood and tragedy. This is because someone who trusts in G-d will attain the spiritual level of,  “Israel shall thus dwell securely, alone” (Deut. 33:28); whereas someone who relies on his own arrogance or on the nations will arrive, G-d forbid, at, “How does the city sit alone” (Lam. 1:1).We must know and grasp this great principle, which is the key to speedy, magnificent redemption, without suffering or tragedy. A brilliant redemption, in which G-d's promise of “haste” (Isa. 60:22) is fulfilled, will come only when the Jewish People are alone, set apart, in isolation, and trusting fully in G-d to defeat our enemies. We must never forget the following great principle: Whoever relies on the non-Jew and seeks his aid, repels the Messiah, pushes off the redemption and brings upon us G-d's wrath and ire. Redemption will come only when Israel are alone, without any outside protection or help. Only when the nations see, with wonderment and mouth agape, how mighty and strong G-d is without help, will G-d's name be magnified and sanctified on earth. Then shall the vision be realized before the eyes of the nations that “The L-rd alone shall be exalted in that day”(Isa. 2:17).

Moreover, Israel , stubborn and insolent, will never believe that G-d is their Redeemer, so long as they have even one gentile nation standing at their side. Only when “the L-rd alone is exalted on that day,” only when Israel sees that “G-d, alone, will direct them” (Deut. 32:12), will Israel believe in G-d and in the Torah of Moses His servant. Indeed, this is how it will be: a nation alone with G-d alone, and both of them alone facing the whole world. Only in that manner will Israel's redemption come, and so to speak, of G-d, via, “Thus will I be magnified, sanctified and become known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am the L-rd” (Ezek. 38:23).

Where/Who is Magog?

14 Tammuz 5785

One of the commenters to the previous blog post brought up the point that the Prophet Yechezkel, notably in chapter 38, describes that Gog is the leader of the nation of Magog.  The idea being that "Magog" cannot then be referring to a person, but strictly the country ruled by Gog.  I also took this at face value for many, many decades.  And yet, Daniel, as explained by Rashi, is very clear on the fact that the Fourth Empire - the Empire of Rome/Edom - is split in two and each is ruled by its own king.  This is a historical fact.  So, how do we reconcile this seeming contradiction?

First, let's look at places in the world which are now, or have in the past, been called Magog.

In the West...

1)  Gog Magog Hills, Cambridgeshire, England  - A range of low chalk hills southeast of Cambridge,.... The name "Gog Magog" for this region is documented as early as 1574 ....  The origin of the name is unclear....  The area includes Magog Down, a nature reserve named after the hills,....

2)  Oaks of Avalon (Gog and Magog), Glastonbury, Somerset, England - A pair of oak trees in Glastonbury, individually named Gog and Magog, tied to local folklore and possibly the biblical or legendary Gog and Magog.  These trees are part of the mystical and spiritual heritage of Glastonbury, often associated with ancient Celtic or Arthurian traditions.

3)  Gog and Magog, Stewart Island / Rakiura, New Zealand [settled by the British] - Twin rock formations named Gog and Magog, located on Stewart Island.  ...specific origins are not well-documented.  

In the East...

4)  Magogia (Scythia), Ancient Region - According to the Jewish historian Flavius Josephus (1st century CE), the Greeks referred to Scythia, a region north of the Black Sea, as "Magogia," associating it with the biblical Magog, a son of Japheth (Genesis 10:2).  This region, encompassing parts of modern-day southern Russia, Ukraine, and the Caucasus, was inhabited by the Scythians, whom ancient sources like Josephus and Jerome linked to Magog’s descendants.  The name "Magogia" was used in Greek contexts to describe this area, though it was not a formal place name.

5)  Magog as the Great Wall of China - Rabbi Shlomo Ganzfried (19th century) cited an Arab writer who referred to the Great Wall of China as "Magog," possibly linking it to the biblical narrative of Gog and Magog being contained behind a barrier (as in Islamic tradition with Dhul-Qarnayn).  This association is speculative and not a formal place name but reflects a historical interpretation of Magog as a distant, eastern land. [Yechezkel's Magog is noted as due north of Israel, so that rules out China.]

6)  Gogarene, Ancient Iberia (Modern Armenia/Georgia) - The Greek historian Strabo (1st century CE) mentions "Gogarene" as a region in the Caucasian Iberian kingdom (modern-day Armenia and Georgia).  Scholars consider this name a derivative of Magog, preserved through centuries of tribal migrations. The region was inhabited by descendants of Magog’s nephew Togarmah and is one of the best-preserved names linked to Magog.  (Google)

Both East and West have a legitimate geographical claim to the name Magog:  Russia, because it now occupies the territory settled by the actual original person called Magog (a grandson of Noah) and England, because it was physically occupied by the original Roman Empire and was itself one of the incarnations of that empire from the 16th century into the 20th century when, after WWII, it passed to America.

Did you ever wonder why it is that we always hear the two referred to as Gog uMagog - Gog and Magog - instead of Gog from Magog if it refers only to the one leader of the one place?  On the other hand Magog itself can mean from Gog, as in Gog from Gog.  Those who ascribe to the idea that George is a form of the name/title Gog, mention this to show the connection between England and the formation of the United States.  That is to say America is Magog because its founding father, George Washington, took it away from King George III of England - George from George.

It doesn't have to be either/or.  It can be both.  Both America (West) and Russia (East) can be Magog and consequently, their individual leaders are Gog.  They exist both separately and together as the Empire of Edom/Rome, but in their own unique ways.  Calling it generally "Gog and Magog" just serves to help make the distinction.

Let's jump over to the Chafetz Chaim's assertion that there would be three GoguMagog wars and that WW1 was the first, to be followed in about 25 years by another (WW2) and then ending with the third (WW3), after which the Messianic Age would begin.  

Britain/America and Russia all played profound roles in World Wars 1 and 2.  It is unclear to me whether East and West serve each other's interests (i.e., the Eisavian Agenda) wittingly or unwittingly.

WW1 - Various reasons are given in the history books for why WW1 started, but it doesn't really matter what they say.  If we accept that, as the Chafetz Chaim said, it was the first war of GoguMagog, then Jerusalem was the goal and it ended with the Ottoman Empire in the Middle East defeated and the British (Gog/Magog at that time) in control of Eretz Yisrael.

Britain and Russia were allies during World War I. They were part of the larger Allied Powers, which also included France, and later, the United States. The alliance was formalized in 1907 with the Anglo-Russian Entente, and further strengthened by a treaty in 1914.  (Google)

But what did Russia gain from the alliance?

Russia gained very little in concrete terms from its alliance with Britain in World War I.  ...Russia's primary motivation for joining the war was its alliance with Serbia and its desire to protect Slavic nations and prevent Austrian-Hungarian expansion in the Balkans.  (Google)

WW2 - No matter the reasons and causes attributed by the historical record, this war, which some say was just a continuation of the first, must still fulfill the goal of conquering/controlling the Holy Land.  The pesky Jews were making that very hard for the Brits as they wanted to push Britain out as an occupying power.  The Erev Rav succeeded in taking control of a portion of Eretz Yisrael, but the Arabs took Jerusalem.  WW2 set the stage for the transfer of empirical power from Britain to America.

Britain and Russia (the Soviet Union) were allies during World War II. After initially remaining neutral when Germany invaded Poland in 1939, the Soviet Union joined the Allied powers after being invaded by Germany in June 1941. This made them allies with Britain, who had been at war with Germany since 1939, and later with the United States after its entry into the war.  (Google)

What did Russia gain from this alliance?

The primary benefit for the Soviet Union was the military and material aid received from Britain and later the United States, which helped them withstand the initial German invasion and ultimately contribute to the Allied victory.  (Google)

Based on this information that I gathered this morning, I am having a change of heart with regard to who is the "iron" and who is the "clay."  Logically, Russia shows itself to be completely identified as Eastern Eisav/Edom/Rome; however, history shows that it never had the reach or held the power that the West has.  After all, "the sun never set on the British Empire."  Russia's iron curtain fell because it no longer had the strength to maintain it.  The West won.  America was seen at that time (1989) as the last remaining world superpower.  

As I'm sitting here writing this and reading what I've written, I realize that WW3 - the third war of GoguMagog for control of the Holy Land and Jerusalem - started immediately thereafter.  

Gog Bush 1 - Nov 1990 Kahane Assassination; Jan 1991 First Gulf War; Oct 1991 Madrid Peace Conference

Gog Bush 2 - 2002 Roadmap to Peace, 2003 Second Gulf War

Trump I/II   - The Abraham Accords  (2020 - Present)

Russia's contribution was "2 million" of its citizens invading Eretz Yisrael.  The destruction to Judaism and Jewish identity is incalculable.

WW3 - Predicted invasion from the north (Russia has bases in Syria; Turkey to accompany) will be fought in the Valley of Yizre'el;  Predicted invasion from the east (US has bases in Jordan and Iraq; Iran to accompany - after regime change?) to be fought in the Valley of Yehoshaphat.  (See Zechariah 12, 14; Yoel 4)

Eisav's East/West Empire - Edom/Rome - seems to embody two aspects of Eisav:  the head - calm, cool, calculating Russia - and the heart - emotional, vengeful, hedonistic USA.  What are the chances?  Eisav's head was separated from his body and they are buried in two different places! 

They also have two different ways of relating to brother Ya'aqov:  with the "bite" (annihilation) - the pogroms and blood libels of Russia - and with the "kiss" (assimilation) - the "peace"-making, melting pot of America. 

This doesn't answer all my questions yet.  In fact, it raises even more.  I'm still mulling it over and looking for more sources of information, but I'm fairly certain the events will all come to fruition long before I get it all figured out.
