THE YEAR OF OUR REDEMPTION

22 Tevet 5786
Shavua Tov!

Is the Ayatollah reading the weekly parashah?


THE YEAR OF OUR REDEMPTION

I would like to share something that came to me over Shabbat.  Maybe some of the readers will have something to add.

I had already pointed out in a blog post after the New Year about 5786 with "86" being the gematria of Elokim, the name that describes HKB"H when He is operating by strict judgment.  I felt very strongly that this would be the year that the redemption would unfold.

So, I was reading the commentary on this week's parashah - Shemot...

Nearly 210 years had elapsed since Jacob's descent to Egypt, 116 since the beginning of servitude, and eighty-six since the beginning of the back-breaking oppression.  Hmmm, 86 again.

The commentary goes on...

...The preponderant Name of God in this chapter is Elohim. the Name that connotes strict justice, because He was about to judge Egypt for its excessive cruelty.  In the three places where He reveals Himself to Moses (Shemot 3.2, 4, 7), however, He is called Hashem, the Name of mercy, to show that His primary intention is to save Israel in a historic demonstration of Divine mercy (see Ramban to vs. 7).
Therefore, I was surprised when reading the parashah (3.18) to see the following...

...You and the elders of Israel shall come to the king of Egypt and say to him, "Hashem, the God of the Hebrews, happened upon us.  And now, please let us go on a three-day journey in the Wilderness and we shall bring offerings to Hashem, our God."

When Moshe carries out this instruction in chapter 5, vs. 1, is it any wonder that Paro responded with:  "Who is Hashem that I should heed His voice to send out Israel?  I do not know Hashem, nor will I send Israel!"  

As we will learn at the beginning of next week's parashah, not even the Patriarchs knew HKB"H by this name, but he should have understood from the second identification - "the God of the Hebrews" - who he was really dealing with.  

Interesting side note that Moshe said "Hashem" twice and Paro responded "Hashem" twice.  In the Thirteen Attributes, we start by saying "Hashem" twice.  (I don't know what the significance is, but nothing is coincidental.)

For the Children of Israel, Hashem was coming to save them, but for the Egyptians, Elokim was coming to judge them.  Like two sides of the same coin so-to-speak.  And we will see as the plagues unfold that Israel and Egypt did not share the same experience of the plagues.

Ok, back to "86".  Elokim acting in judgment.  He says...

"I know that the king of Egypt will not allow you to go, except through a strong hand.  I shall stretch out My hand and I shall strike Egypt with my wonders...."  (Shemot 3.19-20)

The parashah ends off with...

Hashem said to Moses, "Now you will see what I shall do to Pharaoh, for through a strong hand will he send them out, and with a strong hand will he drive them from his land."  (Shemot 6.1)

Eight plus six (86) equals 14, the gematria of the word yad - hand.  And there were ten plagues - one for each finger on the 'hands' of Elokim.

Here is the final part.  If this year of  5786 is the year of our redemption, the final year of our exile, then the previous 86 years should correspond to the final 86 years of Egyptian servitude - the most oppressive time in our history until now.

If so, then Year 1 of the 86-year period would have begun in 5699 - the year which began with Kristalnacht and ended with the launch of WWII!   The year 5785 would have been the 86th year which was completed on Rosh Hashanah 5786 or will it only be complete on Pesach 5786!???

As it was in Egypt, Yeshayahu, chapter 40, on the final redemption...

"In Nissan we were redeemed and in Nissan we will be redeemed!

- 81 Days and Counting -

  1. Amen may this year 5786 be the year of the final redemption! Also some say Daniel’s prophecy of 1335 years began in 691 with the building of the Dome of the Rock add 1335 years and you come to 2026 this secular year. 26 the number for HaShem and 86 for Elokim go hand and hand.

    1. Actually, the years DO NOT go "hand-in-hand". This was another part that I thought of but forgot to include. It relates back to when HKB"H told Paro to say "Hashem", but Paro said he did not know of any Hashem and even if he did it would make no difference to his response. He chose not to recognize Hashem so he was left to deal with Elokim.

      The year 2026 is determined by the Chr*stian calendar and is set by the time of their god's birth. Some of them know the name "Hashem" but they say it is another name for Yeshu as the NT says "There is no other name under heaven by which a man can be saved." Therefore, by them, "The Name" (Hashem) is Yeshu. Therefore, they, too, are left to deal with Elokim.

      However, by the Jews and righteous gentiles (who forsake all other gods and cling ony to HKB"H) Elokim is always Hashem.

    2. Tomer Devorah I did not mean to give any credence to xtianity just was pointing out both years are holy names.

    3. I didn't take it that way, Tuvia. I meant no criticism of what you wrote. Just shared my own take on it which I had also thought out over Shabbat and forgot to include. Thanks to you I was able to fit it in here. :-) Your comments are always appreciated.

  2. It is all 26 on the luach klali, the first instance of HaShem's names equaling 86 and 26 is in Beresheit 2:4 - אֵ֣לֶּה תוֹלְד֧וֹת הַשָּׁמַ֛יִם וְהָאָ֖רֶץ בְּהִבָּֽרְאָ֑ם בְּי֗וֹם עֲשׂ֛וֹת יְהֹוָ֥ה אֱלֹהִ֖ים אֶ֥רֶץ וְשָׁמָֽיִם׃

    Other noteworthy early mentions in the creation story with these two names include references to mankinds creation, placement in Gan Eden, etz HaDaat, creation of Chavah, the first Torah commandment - being fruitful and multiplying, the Nachash used both names when tempting Chavah, and the aftermath of that in perek 3.

    1. Maybe we take from this that there are always the two ways to relate to HKB"H and the choice is ours?

    2. Your perspective is better than mine. I would also say perhaps it is that we need to accept HaShem's kingship instead of taking things into our own hands without Him or thinking we don't need Him or His Torah or that we can just listen to snakes in there many forms enticing Am Yisrael.

  3. 1. Gematria for 57[86] = Elokim
    2. Gematria for 20[26] = HaShem
    3. Just as the Rasha Khameini (who will soon be dead and gone from this Earth) cites Our Torah (NOT Trump, NOT Netanyahu !!!), so Nazi German Fuehrer Adolf Hitler ALWAYS had the number 26 on his personal aircraft, have a look:
    "Adolf Hitler lands in Smolensk Russia - German Eastern Front 1943" (0:40) https://youtu.be/QzZpMzfw1jE The Fuehrer believed that THIS NUMBER had magical, mystical powers (which is true !!!)
    4. Moral Prostitute and Palestinian Pimp of Rome Frances THE LAST POPE said 2025 was the Jubilee Year of the Church -- 1700 years from the Council of Nicea in 325 C.E. to 2025 C.E. (the number 17 ALSO has special powerful significance in Gematria).
    5. Frances was RIGHT. 2025 was the Epitaph for Holy Mother Church, it had its 1700 years to plunge the world into Satanic Darkness (as did its afterbirth the Eastern Orthodox and then the State Protestant Churches -- ditto for THEIR children).
    6. 2026/5786 is the JEW-BI-LEE for The RIghteious of Am Yisrael in particular and The Righteous of The Nations in general who will SURVIVE.
    7. 2026 also represents 2026 years since the alleged birth of the Christian Man-god-Deity. It also represents the DEATH of that False god.
    8. LOTS going on this year (both according to the Hebrew and Gregorian calendars).
    9. So what are WE supposed to DO ??? What is ANYONE ("high" and "low"), Jew or Goy, supposed to DO ???
    9a. FEAR the God Of Israel Who Created Us All
    9b. Honor and Observe His Eternal Moral Law
    9c. Honor His Land, Torah and People Covenants with His Chosen People Israel
    9d. STUDY the Torah
    9d. PRAY to HIM
    9e. ASK for HIS Help EVERY day.
    10. GET READY for:
    10a. Restoration of the Davidic Monarchy after almost 3,000 years.
    10b. Regathering Worldwide of the Twelve Tribes of Jacob/Israel united through FAITH in THE ONE TRUE GOD OF ISRAEL (there IS no other "god").
    10c. Rebulding the Third and Final Israelite Temple of Jerusalem which will stand FOREVER (please see Ezekiel 40-48).
    10d. Traditional Israelite Faith spreads worldwide from Jerusalem the survivors among the Nations accept the Noahide Covenant and Laws
    10e. The REMNANT of Esau and Ishmael (that little which is good in them) reunited with the REMANT of Jacob/Israel (Isaac and Ishmael buried Abraham TOGETHER. Jacob and Esau buried Isaac TOGETHER).
    11. AMALKEK totally wiped out and destroyed. His Spirit gone from Planet Earth FOREVER. NO SURVIVORS.

  4. Aryeh Yosef, your comment did something to the system that I have never seen before. Your submission was there with the other two. I approved th eone and then the next and then it flipped to the finished page before yours was checked off. It showed only two comments. I took a chance and arrowed back and I still saw it with the other two. I did not know which one had flown away so I copies all there and then let it go.

    Turned out it was yours, so all I could do is copy and paste it. Here it is in full..

  6. Devorah Chayah, I love what you wrote.

    Rav Reuven Elbaz expressed confidence that the geula will come within weeks here (article published this morning): Rav Elbaz on the Imminent Geulah: "A Matter of Days or Weeks" on Matzav.com.

    Whether before or on Pesach 5786, may the good times roll!

  8. There is a profound connection between the last of the ten plagues—the plague of the firstborn—Pesach, and the final redemption. This decisive plague occurred at midnight. This choice of time is not insignificant: why precisely midnight, and not another moment of the night or day?
    According to tradition, the first half of the night is dominated by Gevurah (severity, the דין), while the second half, from midnight until daybreak, is marked by Rahamim (mercy). Now, during the Exodus from Egypt, two opposing dynamics had to be fulfilled simultaneously:

    — to strike Egypt, an act of judgment and severity,

    — to liberate Israel, an act of kindness and mercy.

    Therefore, a moment was needed where severity and mercy could act in concert, without one negating the other. Hatzot is precisely this point of equilibrium: Gevurah reaches its maximum intensity there, while already beginning to be softened by Rahamim. This is why redemption could not occur earlier, when severity would have been too overwhelming, nor later, when mercy would have already prevailed. Redemption took place at Hatzot because it is the exact place where they meet. The final redemption will take place on the model of the Exodus from Egypt. We will be redeemed at Hatzot.

    From this perspective, I perceive this year's intersection of 5786 (86 gematria Elohim) and 2026 (26 gematria Youd Ke) as a remez of ḥatsot:
    a pivotal point where the Name Elohim (severity) and the Tetragrammaton (mercy) meet and balance each other. May this be the year of our deliverance !

    1. Amen!! Thank you! And I just heard another interesting reference to "86" - the Ayatollah of Iran is 86 years old.

    2. I wonder if there is Rav in Israel that is either 86 or 86+1(kollel) = 87 in Israel that could be this representation this year for the forces of good.

  9. 86 is the gematria of the word “peah” which means wig.
    Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach ztl stated the first think Moshiach is going to do is abolish the use of wigs (as quoted in “The Unique Princess” by Rabbi and Rebbetzin Abramov)
    If we want to hasten the geula we need to work on the mitzvah of kisui rosh - today’s wigs make a mockery of this mitzvah. We left Egypt in the zechus of the righteous women who did not copy the immodest dress of the Egyptian people (who wore wigs for pritzus)
    We need to do the same today and return to the real Jewish tradition of wearing cloth head coverings.
