When Shabbat Candlelighting is at 5:10 pm...

24 Adar 5786
Erev Shabbat Kodesh
Prashat Vayakhel - Pekudei/
     HaChodesh - Mevarchim 

It appears that my dream about the full moon and "Death Comes From the Sky" may have been realized at the beginning of this current missile exchange - 'death' began raining from the sky from missiles launched out of Iran, and aimed at Tel Aviv, two days before Purim.  Now, two weeks later, there is another sign from a series of dreams I had during that original time frame (2004-2005).

I wrote about it before in great detail, but I'll try to put it into a nutshell now.  It was a recurring dream that I experienced four times and then a fifth time a full year after the series of four.  Each time, it was on Erev Shabbat.  Each time, I "woke up" late to the fact that it was Shabbat, surprised not to realize it and disturbed that I was unprepared - nothing was ready.  The food had not even been bought, much less cooked.  Each time the dream begins, the clock shows a later hour - first 11 am, then progressing to 1 pm, then 3 pm and then 5:10 pm.  On the last one, I was talking to a friend with absolutely no thought to Shabbat when a siren blew and I was confused and asking what it could be and the friend said it's the Shabbat siren.  It was timet to light candles.  

The series of dreams stopped and it was about a year later that it occurred one last time and it started with the clock at 5:10 pm; me unaware that Shabbat was arriving, then aggrieved that all of the time for preparation was over and I was now stuck in the situation as it was at that moment.  

My sense was always that Shabbat in these dreams was the Geulah itself.  

If I'm right, like the events that began two weeks ago, we are at another major turning point for the Geulah Shleimah.  Be alert!  Be aware!  The old world is ending and a new one waits to begin.
