Who Could Be Worse Than Haman?

16 Menachem Av 5785
Shavua Tov! 

I was having a discussion with a family member over Shabbat and he quoted, "Hashem will raise up a king worse than Haman."  It started me thinking.  How many times have I heard that quote and I never thought to ponder what could possibly be worse than Haman who wanted to extinguish the life of every single Jew in the world? 

What occurred to me is this:  Destroying the soul is always worse than killing the body and being betrayed is always worse coming from someone you trust rather than from an avowed and recognized enemy.  And who would qualify today on both counts - Armilus, the King of the Erev Rav

  • Armilus is a figure described in Jewish texts like the Sefer Zerubbabel and the Midrash Vayosha as a wicked king who will arise at the end of days to persecute the Jewish people.
  • He is often depicted as an antagonist to the Messiah, and some texts even portray him as conquering Messiah ben Joseph.
  • Some interpretations of Jewish tradition link the Erev Rav to the rise of Armilus.
  • According to these interpretations, the Erev Rav's negative influence and rebellious nature will contribute to the conditions that allow Armilus to flourish at the end of days.
  • In essence, their actions and character are seen as a precursor to the evil that Armilus embodies.
  • The joining of Eisav and Yishmael is the result of Armelius, the sar of the Erev Rav, who are able to destroy Israel and the entire world, may G-d have mercy.
  •  
Who stands at the head of the Erev Rav regime today?  A Prime Minister reigning for a total of eighteen years! 

I could list for you a multitude of political "sins" for which this person has been guilty over the past 30 years, but it should suffice to simply point out that we are where we are today because of his failed leadership at the head of the Erev Rav regime.  He has brought us to the brink of extinction (body and soul) where only the intervention of Mashiach will save us.  And all that time he has presented himself as the Savior of Israel and a large majority of Jews believe him to be such, despite what reality shows them.  

See here, just two weeks ago, with Pastor Paula White-Cain, millionaire televangelist, "false-teacher" and Trump's chosen pick for "senior advisor" in the White House's "faith office."



...At the time the Targum Jonathan was written, the importance of the Roman Empire was rising, and there were also people from the people of Israel who wanted to resemble them and increase the military power of the people of Israel similar to the power of Rome. The name 'Armilus' combines two names, the name 'Aram' which recalls the symbolic figure of "Aram" (whom Othniel subdued), and the name 'Romulus', about whom a legend spread at the time as if he was the founder of the Roman nation, and from the combination of the two names the name 'Armilus' was created.  (Source)

This is just horrible!!  It's no leadership at all!!!  The soldiers don't need a "rest", they need to be turned loose to win the war so they can all go home!!!!  Just horrible.  😢

  1. As has happened a number of times, my comment just conveniently flew away for no reason, but that truth is not allowed today.
    So, we won't name names but what you write above here is the pure
    truth! Something that many have seen for themselves a long while ago
    but will never find this info in mainstream news, etc.
    You are truly an eishes chayil and may you go from strength to strength and may our Geulah surprise us in a blink of an eye but with
    great rachamim and much kindness! Amen!
    C.S.

  2. I don't know about this pause. I wouldn't believe everything you see,not even from an alleged mosad handle. The intensified attacks have already begun, as we see that the IDF wiped out the ajazeera terrorist cell. I don't believe there is any pause. The Gazans in Gaza city have until Oct 7 to leave, after which they will be considered combatants. As much as I don't care, you can't expect this huge population to vacate over night. Any foot dragging is really due to the IDF chief and not the political establishment. However, there's really no better way. And the troops are tired. We're not humping on the ground over there so I think to poopooh this reality is highly disrespectful and cold. Now about Bibi's friendship with the Christians, as I always say, follow the money. And if they weren't supporting us, regardless of their nefarious intentions, Trump would have already pulled the plug and declared a Frankenstein state. Remember, Hashem is in control. These people are merely puppets. And don't believe anything you see on X or telegram.

    1. I'll never understand people who insist on making excuses for the inexcusable.

  3. With regard to how much time is needed to relocate Gaza City "civilians," numbered at roughly half a million, here is a recent reminder...
    "Gaza war: Almost 450,000 people have fled Rafah in a week, UN says" Why would they ever need until Oct. 7th - eight weeks??!!! And why that magical date???!!!

    1. It's the first day of Succot! As it was explained, there seems to be some matter of where they will go. Further, some have already said they won't leave, having already evacuated multiple times. But sof sof, who knows. Some say this entire "plan" is simply a negotiation strategy. Since we're not privy to all backroom discussions, I prefer to not attack the plan or ourbPM in the public sphere. That's not to say that I don't think it's a stupid strategy that will do nothing to free our hostages before they die Chas v'shalom.
