The ground was hardly warmed in the new papal apartment for
Pope Francis I in Rome, when Israeli President Shimon Peres sailed the blue
skies from Israel to Italy to lend his “signatured anti-Jewish life” and
influence as the President of Israel to betray again the Israeli people in
Israel. This betrayal will eventually harm most, the religious
pioneering and patriots of Israel who live in the settlement regions
of Shomron and Judea.
For three days, in early May (2013), Israeli President
Shimon Peres was scheduled to visit Italy in order to also be hosted in a
series of diplomatic meeting with the Italian president and Prime Minister of
Italy. At that same time, he was being hosted and feted in a ceremony in the
city of Assisi, named after the famous Catholic cleric, St. Francis of Assisi.
There Peres was awarded with the new first ever ceremonies
of the Franciscans to give a “Peace Award” called the “Metal of Honor for
Peace.” There the mayor of Assisi
greeted Peres and also by “hundreds of Franciscan monks” in a ceremony at the
central Roman Catholic Basilica in Assisi. Then Peres was presented this
inaugural award, the “Medal of Honor for Peace” as the president of Israel for
his “unique contribution to dialogue and the cause of peace.”
Barry Chamish – “Those who know Peres
acknowledge his, honestly, psychopathic need for medals and awards, to the
point of bribing the Nobel committee for a prize. Last week, Yoav Yitzhak, in the wide circulation newspaper Maariv,
revealed that Peres gave Terje Larsen, the UN Middle East representative,
$100,000 to secure him a Nobel Prize.
This
week, David Bedein, writing in Makor Rishon, applied the coup de grace. He
interviewed a member of the Nobel Prize Committee, Kaare Kristiansen, who not
just confirmed the bribe but described Larsen's pressure on the committee in
full detail.
But accepting made-up accolades from
the Franciscans is utterly insulting to anyone with a modicum of understanding
of recent Jewish history. From the mid to late '40s, the Franciscans (along
with the Dominicans), in what is known as Operation Paperclip, hid in their
monasteries over a hundred thousand Nazis, before smuggling them to freedom
worldwide. It is estimated that just the US received 30,000, largely Franciscan
“refugees.
So while in Italy, naturally Peres
lavished in the praises of the Nazi saviors and then was practically smothered
by a pope, not named like many believe after a talking mule, but by the very
same church leader that the Franciscans honor, Francis I [St Francis of Assisi]:
No sooner
had Bergoglio (Jorge
Mario Bergoglio as Pope Francis I) taken
office, than Peres invited the new pope to visit Israel, asking him to
contribute to peace as a spiritual, rather than a political, leader. He'll be a
welcome guest in the Holy Land, as a man of inspiration who can add to the
attempt to bring peace in a stormy area," Peres said.”All people here,
without exception, without difference of religion or nationality, will welcome
the newly elected pope.”
Earlier than the year of 2005, Barry Chamish was the lone Israeli reporter who
continued to post insights into the treacherous conspiratorial schemes of the
Jewish Labor Zionist national leadership seeking to the destroy the Divine
Intent of the G-d of Israel. The expressed intent of the Divine One through His
prophets was to reestablish the dynastic rule of His messiah on Planet Earth in
what Orthodox Judaism calls the “World to Come”. Albeit the stated goals of the Divine One
through His prophets in Israel and Judah, the counter-forces of evil by HaSatan
continuously seek to destroy the divine mission and goals of Religious Zionism:
To destroy internally the hopes and dreams of Jews over
the last 2,000 year with the words, “Next Year in Jerusalem”. This laid the groundwork
for a permanent homeland for the Jewish people in the Land of Israel, and a
haven of safety for the Jews still living in the Diaspora would become a
permanent reality.
To destroy externally the State of Israel by Islam, and neutralize
the State of Israel from within by those Jews called the
Sabbatean Jews known as JINOs (Jews in Name Only) and
the Jesuit Jews like Adam Weishaupt called the Illuminati whose origins began
in Bavaria. All of these stem back to the infamous false messiah in the 17th
century, Shabbatai Tzevi, who announced to the Jewish people that the “day of the
Jewish messiah would come” on the date of June 18, 1666 (June the 6th
month; 18 or 6+6+6, and 1666 or 1000+666). What is even clearer is that
ultimate saboteur is the Vatican through the agency of the Black Pope of the
Society of Jesus, called the Jesuits.
The road back to Rome is a road well traveled by the current Israeli President Shimon Peres. He has routinely taken this path over the years as the Israeli investigative reporter, Barry Chamish, called the “traitorous appeasement” of Vatican’s Jewish President. As Barry Chamish continued
Barry Chamish – “In 1979, Yitzhak Rabin published his
autobiography, within was a one-line offbeat quote. He said that unlike all
Jewish children growing up in Poland, Shimon Peres spent his early education
at a Jesuit school. It was an odd fact and I took a mental note of it
without understanding its significance...Until I broke my first
attention-getting story as a political journalist:
In March 1994, the newspaper Chadashot revealed a most remarkable secret
of the Middle East “peace” process. A friend of Shimon Peres, the French
intellectual Marek Halter claimed in an interview that in May 1993, he
delivered a letter from Peres to the pope.
Within, Peres promised to internationalize Jerusalem,
granting the UN political control of the Old City of Jerusalem, and the Vatican
hegemony of the holy sites within. The UN would give the PLO a capital
within its new territory and East Jerusalem would become a kind of free
trade zone of world diplomacy. Halter's claim was backed by the Italian
newspaper La Stampa
which added that Arafat was apprised of the agreement and it was included in
the secret clauses of the Declaration Of Principles signed in Washington in
September 1993.
In March 1995, the Israeli radio station Arutz Sheva was leaked a
cable from the Israeli Embassy in Rome to Peres' Foreign Ministry in Jerusalem
confirming the handover of Jerusalem to the Vatican. This cable was printed on
the front page of the radical leftwing Israeli newspaper, Ha’aretz two days later.
A scandal erupted and numerous rabbis who had invited
Peres for Passover services cancelled their invitations in protest of his
treachery. Peres reacted by claiming that the cable was real but that someone
had whiten out the word, "not;" the cable really said that Israel
would "not" hand Jerusalem over to the holy pontiff.
Illustrating the sorry political state of Israel's
rabbis, they accepted this cockamamie excuse and re-invited Peres to their
tables. However, in the widely distributed minutes of a meeting with Clinton in
1997, Peres reiterated his diplomacy, ending with the words, "as I had
previously promised the Holy See.”
During this era of high political and religious drama
between the Vatican and the State of Israel, BibleSearchers Reflections looked
at the issues more closely starting in 1993 to 2005 in the article titled, “The Vatican Wants
Jerusalem”. In this article, the historical map of
Rome’s model for the control of Jerusalem was mapped out from the date in 1993
when Vatican Rome and Israel agreed to normalized and establish formal
diplomatic relations with each other. This was documented in the fundamental
agreement between the Holy See and the State of Israel on December 30, 1993. The
one problem, the “fundamental agreement” was kept secret.
It took another four years when in 1997 the State of
Israel agreed to a legal status in Israel for the Vatican. This came with the Meshumad (apostate) Jewish Rabbi David Rosen, the Papal Knight
Commander of the Pontifical Order of St. Gregory the Great who put the
Vatican’s pathway in the future clearly on the road for the Internationalization
of Jerusalem.
It was in October 20, 2005 that Israel National News
reported that a seven year
negotiation with Vatican Rome was finally
completed and it was now time to turn over numerous buildings, parcels of land
that the Roman Catholic Church claims that it used to own and control. These
facts were being reported by the Vatican newspaper, El Messagero, that Israeli
President Katsav was prepared to sign over to the control of the Vatican. The
major site of interest was the purported site of the “Last Supper” which is
recognized by the Jews as the burial site of Kings David, Solomon, Rechavam,
Assa, Chezekiyahu and Amatzia.
According to the agreement, the upper part of David’s
Tomb would traded in exchange for an ancient Jewish synagogue in Toledo, Spain
that was converted into a Catholic Church after the Jews were expelled from
Spain on the 9th of Av, 1492. Other sites of interest in which the
Vatican wants the Israeli government to give up sovereignty over include six
sites; the Church of the Annunciation in Nazareth, the Coenaculum on Mount
Zion, Gethsemane on the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem and the Church of the
Multiplication on Lake Kinneret (Sea of Galilee).
So today, over the top of one of the largest Jewish
yeshivas teaching young Jews the profound truths of the Torah will soon, if the
Israeli government finally craters under the pressure from their president,
Shimon Peres and the Vatican, every morning mass will be conducted overhead to
the droning of ritual chants taking away one of the most peaceful and
reverential areas of Old Jerusalem today. This fact alone gained the ire of a
Jewish physician, Dr. Daisy Stern who wrote the following in the article titled, “Perfect Crime: The
Vatican’s Plot to rob Am Yisrael of Jerusalem (The Secret Machinations of the
Vatican, Part II, 2009)”
Dr. Daisy Stern
– “Nobody hears a peep about what's going on: we just find out that Benedict XVI is
coming for a visit to Israel. Only 10 million dollars is used to prepare for
his visit, among others 6 million NIS (Jewish Shekels), one for every Jew
killed in the Holocaust, to renovate Catholic holy places. Among others, the Cenacle,
which until now had bare walls, because no paraphernalia of idol worship is
allowed in a yeshiva, that is, the Diaspora Yeshiva of Har Tzion. But no worry:
renovation have already begun there. With other words, the properties are being
readied for the pope’s arrival, turned into proper Catholic shrine, Jewish or
not.”
A year after the Vatican’s major push to gain control of
the Cenacle, where the Jewish prince of David and Orthodox rabbi, Jesus the
Nazarene (Yahshua HaNotzri) held the “Last Supper” in the House with the Upper
Room. In the year of 2005, Israeli President Moshe Katsav agreed to sign over
the site to the Roman Catholic Church. The G-d of Israel thought otherwise and
within eighteen month, President Katsav was charged and later convicted of two
counts of rape with female subordinates, sexual harassment of others,
obstruction of justice and sentenced to seven years in prison.
While President Katsav was fighting the charges of rape and
obstruction of justice, according to the Jewish journalist, Hillel Fendel with
Israel National News (Arutz Sheva), he reported on April 6, 2006 that Shimon
Peres was again flying in the air on the way to Rome, while Ehud Olmert was
presiding as Acting Prime Minister of Israel. In a most interesting news blog
titled, “Peres Meets
with Pope in Vatican”, by Israel National News, we learn:
Israel National News – “Israel's indefatigable Shimon Peres met with Pope
Benedict XVI today, and submitted an invitation to visit Israel from Acting
Prime Minister Ehud Olmert. The two met for 40 minutes in the Vatican, and the Pope said
he hopes to visit Israel sometime in the first half of next year. They said
afterwards that they had discussed Middle East matters. “I definitely believe
that a visit by the Pope can influence the peace process,” Peres told
reporters. Peres is reported, in 1994, to have promised the Vatican official
status in Jerusalem.
In February 2000, the Vatican and the Palestinian Authority signed an agreement
calling for an internationally guaranteed special status for Jerusalem. The
agreement stated that a special statute would protect "equality before the
law of the three monotheistic religions [in Jerusalem], the proper identity and
sacred character of the city, [and] freedom of access" to the city's holy
sites.
Israel objected, saying that freedom of religion is already protected
throughout the country. It also opposed the Vatican's treatment of the PA as an
independent country.
Shortly afterwards, Pope John Paul II visited Israel, and - unlike one
of his predecessors, Pope Paul VI, who visited in 1964 - agreed to come
to Jerusalem. Pope John Paul II met with the Chief Rabbis in their Jerusalem
offices, and visited Yad Vashem as well. Pope Paul, on the other hand, refused
to visit Jerusalem, leading then-Chief Rabbi Yitzchak Nissim to boycott his
visit altogether.
During his visit in 2000, Pope John Paul II conducted a prayer service in
Bethlehem, and announced that the Vatican had always recognized the
Palestinians' national rights to a homeland. Rabbi Shlomo Aviner, Dean
of Yeshivat Ateret Cohanim, said in response that the Pope's goal was simply
to obtain a foothold in Jerusalem for the Church, and that his visit was
one way the Pope hoped to reach this goal.
“If the Catholics would at least stop supporting the establishment of a
Palestinian state in our land, and stop supporting the other Arab nations
around us - then this could be considered a significant step,” Rabbi Aviner
said.
Pope John Paul II did not expressly apologize for the role played by the
Church, and its silence, during the Holocaust. He said instead that the Church
is “deeply saddened by the hatred, acts of persecution and displays of
anti-Semitism directed against the Jews by Christians at any time and in any
place... I fervently pray that our sorrow for the tragedy which the Jewish
people suffered in the 20th century will lead to a new relationship between
Christians and Jews. Let us build a new future in which there will be no more
anti-Jewish feeling among Christians or anti-Christian feeling among Jews...”
Former Chief Rabbi Yisrael Meir Lau has said that an earlier pope, Pope
Pius XII, refused several requests by Chief Rabbi Isaac Herzog to meet with
him before and during the Holocaust to discuss how the Church could help save
Jewish lives. After the war, too, Chief Rabbi Herzog asked for the Pope's
assistance in locating Jewish orphans who were cared for by Catholic families,
and again, the Pope refused.
The current pope has been following in the footsteps of his predecessor John
Paul in trying to improve Jewish-Catholic relations.”
It was the year of 2003 in
the month of September, when Richard Joel became the first non-rabbi to become
the president of the Yeshiva University in New York and Israel in which
according to Dr. Daisy Stern, Richard Joel was a Meshumad (apostate) Jew and a
“stooge of the Council on Foreign Relations”; the nesting ground for Shabbatian
Jews, Frankist Jews, NeoCon Jews, all of which have a propensity to abandon
their Jewish roots and become as Rabbi Marvin Antelman called in his seminal
books, “To Eliminate the Opiate, Vol I in print, Vol 1 on PDF and Vol 2”, JINOs or “Jews in Name Only.”
Under the invitation of
President Richard Joel, Yeshiva University invited and hosted on January 2004,
the largest meeting of Cardinals ever to be assembled outside of Vatican Rome
to meet exclusively with Jewish rabbis; this time in Yeshiva University in New
York City. It was organized by Israel Singer with the World Jewish Congress and
another “Meshumad” (apostate) the Jewish Cardinal Lustiger of Paris, France who
almost gained the Curia’s nod to become the new pope taking the place of the
deceased Jewish Pope John Paul II yet was instead earned by the Jewish Pope Benedict XVI
(Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger) who was also a Meshumad (apostate) Jew.
The attendees at this
meeting included Ten Cardinals from Rome, plus a host of Conservative and
Reform rabbis plus 16 Orthodox rabbis which included current and chief rabbis
from six different countries including Chief Rabbi of Israel, Israel Meir
Lau. There amidst Torah study, was an
atmosphere which Dr. Stern called “highly dubious activity in this setting,
where anti-Semitism around the world was being discussed.” The rabbis in attendance were put under extreme
pressure with the message; “give the Vatican back her properties or else we
cannot vouch for your safety.”
On the negotiating side of
the table by the Vatican were Pietro Sambi, Archbishop and Apostolic and since
1998, the Nuncio to Israel and Palestine, plus Franciscan Father David Yaeger,
Giovanni LaJolo the Vatican Secretary of Relations with States, who later
brought the issue of the State of Israel not relinquishing her Vatican
properties to the United Nations.
Let it be clear, in
addition, that the Catholic Church is and has been a strong supporter of the
Oslo Peace Agreement, which, as noted earlier, goes hand in hand with the
Fundamental Agreement, and is a code for the same goal, namely, return of
"Church properties" to the Church, under the guise of fairness to the
Arabs.
How do all of these events
link themselves together? Today, Pope Francis I namesakes, the Franciscans, to
whom Friar David Yaeger is a member, were one of the two major Catholic Orders
that were in charge of enforcing the “Grand Inquisition.” It was their supreme
order that they were to kill, maim, burn and torture Jews and Protestant
Christians in the name of the Roman Christian Church! And we now are to believe that the Franciscans
still carry the mantra of the peacefulness of St. Francis of Assisi?
So what does the Hommes de
Parole NGO do? They invite with kindness and graciousness their Jewish rabbis,
especially the Israeli chief rabbis, to the table of consensus and try to
indoctrinate them into the charade of “land for peace”. It was their purpose
that these same rabbis will return to the Land of Israel and influence the
secular Jews running the government to give up former Roman Catholic “Church
Property” whose acquisition came with the Roman Christian Crusades.
Then we have to remember
that they, the Church did not gain these acquisitions peacefully, but by the
very acts of peace they are promoting today, virtually killed and destroyed
every Jewish person in the Land of Israel in the 11th to the 13th
century CE. So we tie together very carefully the theme that the Roman Catholic
Church and the Oslo Peace Accord are indelibly intertwined. It was not created
under the guise of fairness and peace for Arab Palestinians but for Vatican’s
control of Jerusalem and the Middle East, but rather to hide that the Vatican
wants control over the Temple Mount, so that the Vatican’s P2 Masonic Lodge
with the Illuminati can erect a Temple
for the Jews and a House of Prayer for all people, with the Vatican now being leading architect, instead
of the G-d of Israel for peace to all the world.

Life was quiet in the Middle East as Israel in 2006 as
the rest of the world was adjusting to the new political player in the Middle
East political-religious wars against Israel; the arrival of the Palestinian
Chapter of the Muslim Brotherhood called Hamas. They had recently won the
Palestinian Parliamentarian elections in Gaza in January, 2006 and then went on
to defeat the Fatah in a series of violent clashes. Since that day, the Hamas,
have become the new political masters of the fate of the Palestinian Arabs in
Gaza; the former Philistine states that were the ancient nemesis of the
Israelites from the era of Sampson, the Israelite judge, to the era of Kings
Saul and David.
With Pope Benedict XVI now
nestled in the throne of the papacy at the Vatican, the Catholic
Cultural News made the announcement on
March of 2006 that Shimon Peres, now the head of Israel’s opposition Labor
Party was preparing to go for another visit to the Vatican. This time he was to
preparing to meet in a private audience with Pope Benedict XVI on April 6. Included in this trip, Tzipi Livni, the
Israeli minister of foreign affairs traveled also with former Prime Minister
Shimon Peres, to meet with Archbishop Giovanni Lajolo, the Vatican’s Secretary
for Relations with States.
Demonstrating quite aptly
the political vacillation of many Israeli politicians, both Simon Peres, former
Nobel Peace Prize laureate that was bought with a bribe, and the once leftist
Labor Party leader, Tzipi Livni, who now had switched political parties and
ideologies with the rightist Likud party, and switched parties again with the
new centrist Kadima movement behind Ariel Sharon, was now heading to Rome also
demonstrated that they were also “Meshumad” (apostate) Jews.
Understand,
it was the Peres and Livni leadership who brought Israel’s worst international and
diplomatic disaster when in 2005, they forced the expulsion andevacuation of the Orthodox Jews settlers living in the Gaza region of
Gush Katif, demolished their homes, synagogue and the world renowned
fruit, vegetable and flowers nurseries. They then gave all of these properties
as a peace gesture with the monies of Microsoft founder, Bill Gates to the
Palestinian people.
Then they witnessed the
ingratitude and destruction of the remaining infrastructures by the Islamic
Muslims while they governed over the Jewish State of Israel that willing placed
the Jewish pioneering families who were predominately Orthodox Jewish in
antiquated trailers, and treated them as orphans, hostages and outcasts in the
Jewish state of Israel for the next seven years.
Yet,
when they traveled to Rome the next year in early 2006, Peres and Livni now carried
with themselves the visionary idea of “elevating” the city of Jerusalem to
become the “World Capital” by declaring the sacred sites of the Jews,
Christians, and Muslim within the Old City of Jerusalem to be internationalized
under the United Nations stewardship. To
do so, the U.N. Secretary-General would serve as the mayor of the Jerusalem,
the “International Capital of the World.”
It was only a few months later that their lives would be radically
changed.
Unknown to them, the G-d of Israel in His sovereign power
as the ruler of the universe, was ready to unleash another reign of terror upon
the State of Israel and upon her rulers who were so adamant to give away the
land of Israel to those who despise the Jews, the only children of Israel who
have chosen to remain in covenant with the Torah, and the Holy One of Israel.
This modern day reign of terror against the Jews of the
House of Judah was only an aftermath of the Civil War that erupted between the
Northern 10 Tribes and the Southern 2 Tribes. The sovereign power of the G-d of
Israel separated the two kingdoms of the House of Israel and the House of
Judah; 3,000 years ago.
This reign of terror was aptly described by the ancient
Prophet of Judah, the Prophet Zechariah when he wrote these words about Children
of Israel molded together into a United Kingdom under Kings David and Solomon.
The brotherhood between the Jews of the House of Judah
and the Northern Israelites of the House of Israel was split asunder with civil
war and the eventual destruction of the Northern
Kingdom of Israel as they were
sent into exile to Khurasan in Media. The Southern Two Tribes of Judah and
Benjamin eventually apostatized also and were exiled first to servitude under
Babylon and Persia and eventually for the second time exiled to Rome. The Roman
Empire later morphed into Constantine’s Roman Christian Empire in the 4th
century, the Holy Roman Empire under Charlemagne in the 9th century
and throughout the Medieval Era the lives of those that opposed her rule were
ruthlessly cast aside and destroyed. So what does the G-d of Israel say about
these “evil shepherds”?
Zechariah
11:4-7 – “Thus said HaShem, My G-d: Tend the flock meant to be slain, whom their
buyers slay and they are not guilty and those who sell them say, ‘Blessed by HaShem!
Now I am rich!’ and whose shepherds do not pity them.
For I will
no longer pity the inhabitants of the land – the word of HaShem, Behold, I am
giving over the people, each one into the hand of his fellow and into the hand
of his king; then will crush the land (exile of the Northern Kingdom of
Israel), and I will not save [them] from their hand. I had tended the flock
meant to be slain, and because they were the meekest of the flock.
I took for
myself two staffs – one I called “Noam”
[“Pleasantness as the Northern Kingdom of Israel where Rehoboam ruled with
pleasant words to lure the later Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel to live
under his rulership] and the other I called “Hobeim” [“Destroyers as the Kingdom of Judah” whose first
king Rehoboam ruled with the iron hand of destruction] and I tended the flock.”
Yet, these verses also speak of that future day of
redemption and restoration when at the end of days when Jewish “flock of sheep”
will be separated from their brothers, the “sheep of the House of Israel.
Without the mutual togetherness of spiritual brotherhood, with the Jewish
sages, prophets and kings, their leaders eventually led their kingdoms into
apostasy, the worship of Baal and eventual exile; the House of Israel now for 3,700
years as the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel and the House of Judah with
a 70 year exile into Babylon and the Roman Empire now for almost 2,000 years. With
the destruction of the United Kingdom of Israel, the power and might of Kings
David and Solomon’s Empire was destroyed for the G-d of Israel found their
actions to be repulsive:
Zechariah
11:8-11, 13-14 - “I removed the three shepherds in one month, and My soul
became impatient with them for their [neshama
yehudi (Jewish)] soul, or their [neshama Israeli (Lost Israelite)] soul also
found Me repulsive. I said, ‘I will not tend you! Let the dying ones die and
let the decimated one be decimated; and for the remaining ones, let each devour
the other’s flesh.
And I took
My staff Noam (Lost Israelites) and
broke it, to annul My covenant that I had sealed with the people. So it became
annulled on that day; and the meek of the flock, all who paid heed to Me,
recognized that it was so, that it was the word of HaShem…Then I broke My
second staff, Hobelim (Exiled Jews)
to annul the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.”
The picture is plain to see, a United Israel is
invincible with the power of the Divine guiding the way; a divided Israel
becomes the footstool of the nations. So today, the acrimony between the Jews
and the Christians, most of whom were the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel is still
divisive and acrimonious. Yet, the days of reunification are about upon us when
the Brotherhood of the sons of Yaakov (Jacob) is restored.
The modern sages of Judah foresee that the end of this
chapter in Zechariah speaks about the “end of the age”. Even though the “Evil
Shepherd” could have represented the evil and harsh rule of King Herod during
the 1st century CE Temple of Herod era two thousand years ago, this
“evil shepherd” can also represent today an era when the Jews in Israel will be
again under the rule of another “evil Shepherd”. Who then was this “Evil
Shepherd”?
Zechariah
11:15-17 – “Again take yourself the implement[s] of a foolish shepherd.
For behold, I am setting up a shepherd in the land: He will not pay attention
the decimated ones; he will not seek out the youth; he will not heal the broken
one; and he will not nurture the weak one; but he will eat the flesh of the
healthy one and break their hooves. Woe to the worthless shepherd who abandons
the flock! A sword upon his arm and upon his right eye! May his arm utterly
wither and his right eye go completely blind!”
BibleSearchers Reflections looked upon this theme of the
foolish shepherd back in 2006 and the role that Shimon Peres played in those
days. Using the thoughts and images of this era by the Jewish Orthodox Rabbi
Nisan Aryeh Novick, who wrote the enlightening book in 1997 about this era
titled, “Fascinating
Torah Prophecies currently Unfolding” and were summarized in part in the
BibleSearchers Reflection articles titled, “The End of
Days” and “Ariel
Sharon, the Foolish Shepherd”:
BibleSearchers Reflections – “And it was only
a few weeks after the expulsion of the Jews from Gush Katif that the days of
Prime Minister Ariel Sharon were over. As Israeli investigator Barry Chamish
gives in his account:
Barry Chamish (December 19, 2005 – “Prime Minister Sharon shares drinks with
Shimon Peres in the Knesset. Within half an hour, Sharon is driven to hospital unconscious. It took him a day before he could even spell his
own name. He was brought into
the hospital by his bodyguard, Yoram Rubin. As a good chunk of Israel
knows today, it was the Peres-Rubin
team that murdered Yitzhak Rabin. When Rubin was shown on television news accompanying Sharon's stretcher,
suspicions spread throughout the country.
For two days, Sharon remained in hospital where
he underwent intensive tests. We may ask, how did they miss the blood clot that struck Sharon barely two weeks
later? The timing of
Sharon's latest stroke is uncanny. It occurred one day after he was implicated in an enormous scandal.”
Whereas in the public
press, Sharon and Perez appear as two
opposing political giants in the Israeli political spectrum, insiders
assure us that they are close friends
and see the political landscape of
Israel’s future through the same telescope. So this reality became
even more apparentwhen Ariel
Sharon made a sudden left turn politically and vacated the party of his founding, the Likud Party.
Then Sharon founded a new “centrist” party called the Katima Party. At the height of what
appeared to become a new majority party, then along comes Sharon’s “tag-along colleague”, Shimon Peres,
the media favorite. To Ben-Lieb, this new party is only a “new organ for the mixed multitude of Sinai’s
insincere converts”, the Erev
Rav, the final prophetic
portrayal of the “mixed
multitude” that came with the
Israelis during the Exodus out of Egypt.
Surrounding the vascular attack upon Ariel Sharon was
the new evidence that linked Sharon to
a $3 Million Bribe from Martin Schlaff, a known Sharon friend and Austrian-Jewish businessman who had
significant investments in Israel which included a Jericho casino that he
needed political help in getting reopened.
Known as the “Cyril Kern Affair,” the pipeline for the illegal campaign-personal
loan came from Sharon’s South African business associate, Cyril Kern.
According to the national media, the parents
of Martin Schlaff lived in Israel yet due to the potential for arrest or
detainment for investigation, Martin
Schlaff did not return to the Land of Israel. Then on December 21, 2005, James Schlaff, the brother
to Martin came to visit.
The Israeli police raided Schlaff’s home and confiscated what
was later revealed on January 3, 2006
to Channel 10 news reporter, Baruch Kra, as documents and two laptop
computers. Seeking a court order, the police were able to supposedly
extricate the suspected “implicating”
information of a bribe that was passed on to Prime Minister Ariel Sharon or his
sons. Within twenty four
hours, the media was alive with what appeared to be a “career-ending scandal” when a life-threatening blood clot to Sharon’s brain
sent him to the hospital. According to Israeli Journalist Barry Chamish;
Barry Chamish – “A live
Sharon will have to face prosecution for the Kern-Schlaff bribes, even
in Israel's thoroughly corrupt legal
system. A dead Sharon will not
have to face prosecution. And that would be just fine for the creme de la creme of the country's political leadership.
The first impression is that Sharon survived the
first attempt on his life. In reaction,
James Schlaff immediately flew to Israel with evidence to bring the prime minister down in scandal. Somehow,
the police were tipped off and
immediately confiscated the evidence. Once the investigation was done, the results were leaked to the media. On
the day of the second stroke,
the scandal spread fast, threatening to
engulf many of the country's political elite in deep corruption. By 11 PM, Sharon was bleeding heavily from the
throat and his prognosis was a
living or real death.”
The days of Sharon were over, not a noble death of
service to his own people, nor a stroke with paralysis of his face and extremities,
but for the last seven years in a come as a “living death”.
BibleSearchers Reflections – “Then the days of 1993 came. The Oslo Accord, with the mantra of peace with security swept in like a wave of new hope for the
Israeli people. These negotiations
were between Peres, Rabin and the PLO.
In as much as Peres and Rabin were the
“Rav”, the political leaders of
the Israeli Jews, they are called the “Erev
Rav.”
When we connect the dots: the Erev Rav are “minimally Jewish; the Erev Rav are the political leaders of the
Jews, then the full circle comes
around that the leader of the Erev Rav is a political leader of Israel who is
minimally Jewish.
What does it mean to be minimally Jewish? The answer fits the mold of the Sabbatean Jew. He is
the one who in his heart despises the
God of Israel and the “faithful
saints” of the Jewish people who
are passionate followers of their God; the Almighty One of Israel.
The picture even becomes clearer when we understand that as stated above, the Erev Rav will “break ranks” with the Orthodox
Jews who follow with all their
hearts the commands of the Torah that the God of Israel gave them.
The Erev Rav will drive them from their
homes, their land and in
turn “form an alliance with Yishmael (Islamic descendants of
Ishmael).”
Since the beginning of the
secular Labor Zionist State of Israel, the two senior government leaders that have been vitally active during the last forty nine
years have been Ariel
Sharon and Shimon Peres. If we look at the Israeli government, it is called a Jewish
government. Yet under the façade
and superficial veneer we find that here is a Jewish government that “subscribes to British Law and to Ottoman Law.”
As Rabbi Novick pointed out;
Rabbi
Nisan Aryeh Novick - “That is why Israel has never developed their own legal system; they’re merely enforcing law that Turkey and England
enacted – which, in certain
situations, happen to be pro-Arab and anti-Semitic.”
Novick states that the Israeli
government over the fifty plus years of existence has created a specific
profile as:
Rabbi
Nisan Aryeh Novick - “Theirs has been a proxy government run by people who, by accident of birth, are Jewish.
They don’t appear to be making
decisions that further the advancement of Judaism or that protects the Jews.
…They certainly do appear callous and
indifferent to the pain suffered by Jews.”
Yet some today are questioning
whether these government leaders are in fact Jewish. It was Dov Bar-Lieb who posted this blog on Years of Awe blogsite on January 16, 2006 in an article called “Travail
of a Shepherd.” He gives insight into the same fact that Rabbi Novick wrote about nine
years ago.
Maggid Dov
Bar-Lieb – “Finally, I will have to write some more about the yichus (family tree or family
background) question regarding
the "Shepherd’. Is he (Ariel Sharon) a Jew or is he an imposter? If it were my choice,
I would rather not open this can of worms. I do not enjoy questioning someone’s Jewish identity, but Rashi’s interpretation of the Targum
Yonatan is very clear. The rule
of the Shepherd is not considered by the Targum to be a Jewish one. For
now I refer everyone to several sources.
Rav
Berland of Shuvu Banim Breslov Yeshivah in the Old City has
emphatically come out and said that Sharon’s
mother did not have a true conversion. His father was definitely a Jew, but his mother has a big question
mark hanging over her head. According to Sha’ah Tova’s pre-Pesach 5765 edition, Sharon’s mom could not receive a teudat Zehut
(identity card) under the Law of Return because the Chief Rabbinate in 1948 refused to certify the validity of her
conversion. The proof is in the pudding.
In the above linked biography of the Shepherd’s life, it clearly states in the synopsis that he and his parents were ostracized by the
community in which he was born, K’far Melal. (Note: Menudeh means ostracized.) The vast majority of Jewish communities in the
world do not, as a whole, ostracize a fellow Jew for no good reason.
Given that his parents did not do something horrible in a moral sense, there
can be only one reason for K'far
Melal's residents' distancing of themselves from the Scheinermann (now the
Sharon) family.
As unpleasant as it is, if Sharon is indeed the Shepherd, the Targum Yonatan is right again.
The "Shepherd" is not a Jew.
I am sure that this last sentence will create a lot of debate, but since the
words of Chazal are at stake here, I am sticking by what Rav Berland has said. At the very
least his relationship to the Jewish people as a Jew is in doubt, but there
will be no more like him. G-d willing,
he was the last true leader of our lowly little state. I pray that we are about to get a rebirth that is from
out of this world.”
In the Raya M’hemna,
Pinchas, 246b it describes the Israeli
populace as being assimilated with Edom (the Western globalist culture)
and the leaders have been assimilated
much worse. As Novack continues:
Rabbi
Nisan Aryeh Novick – “This Government
(Shimon Peres between 1994-97) is just not affected when Jews are hurt or
murdered by Arabs, because, by
their very nature, there is no real connection between them and other Jews.
They feel no special affinity for Jews.
They are being completely manipulated
by Esav (the descendants of Edom or Rome) Yes, certainly, many previous Israeli governments were pressured
by Western countries; even Begin, the opposition leader for more than thirty
years, succumbed to Western pressure after he assumed leadership. But
every previous government had always
felt a connection with Jewish history; every previous government identified proudly as Jews even though they were
secularists. Each and every previous
government, without exception, felt a strong connection to other Jews.”
Over the decades the
people in the land have become progressively more in tune with their God,
the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. At the same time we have seen the leaders of the government departing from their Jewish identity, their
Jewish history and their Jewish culture. It was the Rabin government who discontinued the
mandated study of Jewish history in Israeli schools.
When (Prime Minister Yitzhak) Rabin addressed the international
community with the acceptance of the
Nobel Peace Prize for the acceptance of the PLO Agreement of Agreement, he spoke of a “Jewish struggle for Israel that was only seventy years old”, totally
abrogating the two thousand year
struggle of the Jewish people to return to Jerusalem. Soon after that
the arriving international diplomats to
Israel were no longer taken to the Yad Vashem, and the Holocaust Memorial. Soon the visiting dignitaries to Israel were no longer taken on tours to Masada, that
historical landmark that
identified the Jewish struggle
to keep the Land of Israel 1900 years
ago from the ancestors of Esau; the current European world called Edom, the descendants of the ancient Empire of Rome and the Lost Ten Tribes of
Israel under Vatican Rome’s control.
Since the days after the
assassination of Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, the Jewish governments have taken on the
appearance of being proxy or extension
governments of the “American government in the Middle East.” This is
possibly why the Muslim now identifies
the two as the “Great Satan” and
the “Little Satan.” The American
government naturally is and should be indifferent or not affected by Israeli
politics because the purpose of
the government of the United States is for its own national interest; to
govern and legislate laws for the benefit of Americans. As Novick stated:
Rabbi
Nisan Aryeh Novick – “To those
Israeli politicians, Jews of Israel are not any more special than any other
citizen of the country. That Israeli
government had no special connection to the people or to the Land. Never before in the history of modern Israel have captured Jewish soldiers been allowed to languish in Arab captivity for
so many years – that Israeli
government did not even attempt to negotiate for their release (while thousands of Arab criminals and murderers
were being released from Israeli prisons unconditionally)….But that Israeli Government was just plainly
indifferent to the plight of Jews – all Jews. And that is why they can offer to parcel off Jewish real estate to
Arabs…As a matter of fact, the decisions
of that Government are exactly the decisions we would expect the American government to make, if
America were actually ruling Israel today from afar.”
This was the date of remembrance when the Northern Gates
of Jerusalem were breached by the Roman forces Vespasian. This war lasted until
the 9th of Av,
in 69-70 CE, the date when Jerusalem was burning with
her Holy Temple, the Temple of King Herod in a fiery inferno. It was the 9th of Av, 2006 when the Vatican sponsored Vatican Peace
Conference imposed upon the State of Israel the world mandate to imbed the
Vatican’s NATO warriors at the Northern Gates of Israel in Lebanon called
“Peace Keepers”. This was called the Vatican Peace Accord of 2006
imposed upon the State of Israel by the “Rome Summit for Peace.”
What is now perceived was the thriving power of the new German
Pope inaugurated at the Vatican in 2005; Pope Benedict XVI. BibleSearchers Reflections monitored this event in its
entirety as Pope Benedict XVI and the Vatican diplomatic forces corralled this
military event between Israel and Lebanon by forcing the State of Israel to
“stand down” and halt prematurely the Islamic-Hizballah War at the “Northern
Walls” of Israel. Eventually a “peace agreement” was made but it also made the
warring Shi’ite militia, Hizballah, buttressed by the military backing of Iran,
Syria and ultimately Russia now as major warring partners evoking their bid to
destroy later the State of Israel with instead 10,000 missiles; fifty thousand
more sophisticated and advanced missiles.
The Islamic world was in ecstasy as Israel now appeared
to be defenseless or in a virtual stalemate with the “wolves of Islam” that
gathered around her. As BibleSearchers opined on this moment in Jewish history,
the following brief was written in the article titled, “The Map of the ‘New
Middle East’” as the world watched the Vatican
marshalling the world leaders together at “The Rome International Conference
for Lebanon.
BibleSearchers Reflections – “On July 26, 2006 the Rome International
Conference for Lebanon was convened in Rome Italy. Here participants
of the western global alliance met
to write up a peace accord
to stop the bloody battles
between Israel and Hizballah.
As we look at this conference,
we will review the earlier BibleSearchers’ investigation of the Rome Peace Accord in the July, 2006 article titled, “Zechariah 9, The
Burden of the Lord in the Fertile Crescent.”
In a sub-titled article titled, “The Rise of the Sea
Beast of Revelation 13”, we looked at the influence of the Israeli-Hizballah War as part
of the future prophecy of Zechariah 9 and the eventual overthrow of the Vatican
as we know it to be by the future Jesuit Shabbatean-Illuminati Sea Beast that the ancient Essene-Orthodox Jewish
Nazarene prophecy envisioned would rise at the end of the age before the full
revealing of the Maschiah ben David when the messianic age would then begin.
In early August 2006, the
Israeli investigator, Barry Chamish
penned a brief titled, “The Vatican Victory
in Lebanon.” We read
of how the western powers would
use the concept of “Creative
Destruction”, to instigate a war
and bring about its conclusion for
the ultimate goals of the western global agenda for domination of the Middle East.
Barry Chamish – “My heart breaks as Israel loses the war.
But her crooked leaders are
doing wonders for the New World Order.
Now the Vatican gets in its dibs
and a new trade bloc is in formation.
While the rockets fly, the US and
Kuwait sign a free trade agreement. So also Dubai, Bahrain and Jordan. And did anyone notice that America
no longer patrols Afghanistan? NATO
has taken the reins. Not ten
years ago, PM Shimon Peres
was tired of the “Grapes of Wrath”
mini-war and put an end to it
with an attack on Kana which killed
100 and brought international
troops to Lebanon.
The week before, the leaders of the NWO met in Rome under
the kind but stern guidance of
Condoleezza Rice. They decided to put in Lebanon International Troops...someday. A second Kana
bombing, no matter who was responsible, gave Peres another chance to bring back his buddies, the French. Yes,
it was decided that French troops would
form the majority of the contingent…This whole awful war was designed to get those Vatican soldiers into Israel
and given another few weeks of rocket
attacks, barring a nuke on
Teheran, Israelis will lift
their arms and beg for any troops, anywhere, just to get a night's
peace. Even in Jerusalem.”
Chamish
continues his report referring
to a secondary investigation by Jewish researcher Kati Cohen:
Investigator Kati Cohen - "Peres
promised the pope East Jerusalem in May of 1992 and
the Vatican wants to cash
in now. But Sharon wasn't playing ball. In July of last year he actually banned diplomacy with the Vatican. So
the Vatican tried working around him.
In September they invited both Israeli chief rabbis
to Rome
to threaten the Jews if the holy sites of
Jerusalem
weren't handed over to them. In November, they hatched the Mount Zion plot, trading a Spanish
church for the Last Supper room. President Katsav flew to
the Vatican but Sharon still said no. "Finally they knew Sharon had to go.
Enter the Apostolic Nuncio Pietro Sambi. He plotted with Peres to finish Sharon
and possibly supplied the poison Sharon
drank in his final meeting with
Peres on December 18 (2005).
One thing is certain, 18 hours before, after 8
1/2 years in Jerusalem, Sambi flew out for anew assignment in
Washington.
"Once Olmert and Peres won the election, Peres flew to the
Vaticantaking with him a letter from (Prime Minister Ehud) Olmert to the Pope (Benedict XVI).
No one will say what was in the letter,
but you can be sure he promised the
pope 'his land' and the war
drastic enough to give it to him."
Catholic News Service – “On the eve of the Rome International Summit for Peace
in the Middle East, Pope Benedict XVI said it appeared that perhaps prayers for peace were starting to
work. “It seems to me that today
something is beginning to move, which shows that prayers are not useless,"
the pope told reporters in Northern
Italy July 25 as he returned to the chalet in Les Combes where he has been vacationing…."I hope they find stable and lasting solutions" to the violence that has ignited in Lebanon, Israel and the
Palestinian territories.
While sending official observers to the Rome summit for peace in the Middle
East, the Vatican also planned
to continue working behind the scenes
in pushing for a peaceful solution to ongoing violence in the region, said Cardinal Angelo Sodano, Vatican secretary of state. The Vatican announced late July 25 that it had been invited to participate in
the July 26 summit as an official observer. Archbishop Giovanni Lajolo, the Vatican's foreign minister, and two officials from his staff were to
represent the Vatican at the meeting…
“The Holy
See tries to be 'super partes' (above all parties); it has a universal mission to unite all of
humanity,” the Cardinal (Sodano) said…His remarks
echoed Pope Benedict's July 21 comments that the Vatican tends to leave diplomatic bargaining to other nations
"because we do not get involved in
politics even if we do everything for peace." However, the Vatican supports everything that can
facilitate and lead to peace, the pope had said. Because modern civilization calls for dialogue, not
war, to resolve disputes,
every day the Vatican has been
contacting foreign diplomats in an effort to foster a peaceful resolution,
Cardinal Sodano said.”
As BibleSearchers
Reflections summarized
this Peace Summit in Rome on August 2006, we read:
BibleSearchers
Reflections – “Several observations are important.
While the Vatican was officially at the
Rome Summit as an observer, it is important to see that their behind the scenes diplomacy makes them more of the “glue” of the summit rather than an observer. The most sobering statement was "The Holy See tries to be 'super partes' (above
all parties); it has a universal
mission to unite all of humanity."
Are we
seeing the Vatican’s real intent? Do they
consider that they are
the Super-power? Does the Vatican truly see itself as Pope John Paul II envisioned in 1978
that it will become the “Black
Internationale” and the ultimate victor of world
domination? Does this observation
suggest that their vision for
peace comes with the proviso that they are in control and not
the God of Israel?”
The history of the Roman Catholic Church in
its relationship with the Jews has throughout the ages been one of ultimatums
and without compliance; death. But, today, the State of Israel is a powerful
contender for world respect in her military power and prowess. Yet, it appears that the modus operandi in
the relationship between the Vatican hierarchy and the Jews is a direct link
between “Peace” between Catholics and Jews, and “The Land” being returned back
to the Church. This fact we will see as
Dr. Daisy Stern continued to reveal in the Vatican-Jewish
relationship outlined in Part One of this series; “Israeli
President Shimon Peres, the Vatican’s Agent to Israel” the following:
Dr. Daisy
Stern – “This, to my opinion, is the Authentic Land for Peace Agreement that
was signed by the Church and the Menuvalim (secular Jews) traitors; We, Am
Yisrael, give you the land, you, the Church, leave us in peace. The "other",
Oslo Peace agreement, was only a smokescreen for this, much more fundamental
agreement, hence the name. What you would call coded language.
The
only problem is, nobody besides the signatories had agreed to this deal! The
Church, however, took this agreement very seriously. In fact, it expected full
implementation within two years. It was signed December 30th, 1993.
By the end of 1995, besides the assassination of (Prime Minister) Yitzhak Rabin
a month earlier, nothing had happened (any link there?).
In
1997, the agreement was further refined. Still, no movement, Israel doesn't
budge; is not handing over the "Church Properties” - and believe me, the
list is a few pages long! What the Church really wanted are these facts:
No taxation of the
Properties: after all, if you are the
“Master”, how can you be expected to pay taxes to a “Vassal”, right?
The return of the many properties, actually Jewish land and Jewish memorablilia, taken
over by Israel since 1948. The Church claims that the 1948 UN decision
contained such a clause. It could be, but so what??
Legal representation in
Israeli courts regarding such disputes.
The Israeli Government, correctly so, always refused to give the lower court’s
jurisdiction to decide whether to allocate the land to the Church or to other
owners. It itself reserves that right. So in fact, the Church (Vatican) can’t
even argue its case in court!”
After the Rome International Summit for Peace in
the Middle East and the new international
accord called informally the “Vatican Peace Accord”, suddenly the Vatican
pressure eased. The Israeli government had never recognized the Oslo Agreement
and neither did its prime ministers; Ariel Sharon, Bibi Netanyahu, nor Ehud
Barak. So as not to be outdone, the Vatican now moved outside of the Israeli
leaders and began to pressure the United States. Clinton ignored them, but
President George W. Bush did get involved with putting diplomatic pressure upon
the Israeli Government to return the medieval properties once owned and built
during and after the Roman Christian Crusades. What they failed to reveal is
that these properties were obtained by force during and after the Roman
Christian Crusades when Roman Europe virtually wiped out the entire Jewish
population in the Land of Israel and especially in the city of Jerusalem. What
the Roman Empire was not willing to do, the Roman Catholic Church almost
succeeded in doing.
The topic of “Peace” that
was discussed a year earlier in January 2005 at the “Congress of Rabbis and
Imams”, the term “peace agreement” was used as a political vehicle to “soften
the attitude of the masses of rabbis towards, “Land for Peace”, which meant in
essence “territorial compromise by Israel”. This fact was now only beginning to
be understood.
Also representing the
Israeli government under Ariel Sharon, Prime Minister of Israel at the time
were also representatives of the ministry of Israeli Finance and Foreign
Affairs. Ariel Sharon was willing to compromise land for the Gaza Palestinians
which created the infamous Orthodox Jewish Settler expulsion from Gush Katif in 2005, but Sharon would not budge in compromise to the
Edomites in Vatican Rome for land that was once owned by Vatican Rome centuries
ago in and around Jerusalem and Galilee.
Would it be incongruous to
conceive that just prior to the 2005 Congress of Rabbis and Imams, the
President of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, William Skylstad of
Spokane, Washington wrote a “sharply worded letter” to the Ambassador of
Israel, Daniel Ayalon. This was send with a duplicate and corresponding letter
to American Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice that included these words, “…a
just resolution is critical to interreligious relations in the wider region and
in the world.” As Dr. Stern continued to reflect:
Dr.
Daisy Stern – “I don't know about you, but to me, it sounds very much like a
veiled threat of violence against Jews worldwide. We all know what bad
inter-religious relations between Catholics and Jews mean; pogroms, inquisitions,
etc, etc; you elaborate. And after all, the same thing happened in 1429, with
full Church justification for it in 1990, remember?”
It was in the year 1967
that the Jewish people for the first time in 2000 years gained possession of
the entire city of Jerusalem by annexed the Eastern Sector of Jerusalem. This
included the Old City of David and the Temple Mount. In the year of 1993, the
Jewish brothers in descent from Judah, were now being internationally isolated
by the descendants of the Lost Ten Tribes of the Northern Kingdom of Israel now
living as the Northern regions of Europe. Was it not the Norwegian “Northern
Israelites” of Oslo that gave us the Oslo Accord of 1993? This was when Israeli
Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and Palestinian Authority President Yasser Arafat
signed the “Declaration
of Principles” on September 13, 1993 in the presence of U.S.
President Bill Clinton on the lawns of the White House in Washington.
Seven years later, by
the year of 2000, the Palestinian peoples under Yasser Arafat, the father of
Middle Eastern terrorism were now preparing the Second
Palestinian Intifada, months before Ariel
Sharon, candidate for the Prime Minister of Israel went up on the Temple Mount
to pray and the Palestinian people revolted. Now the Palestinians were
fomenting with “blood from his mouth and abominations between his teeth”
(Zechariah 9:7) under the Palestinian rule of Yasser Arafat for East Jerusalem
to become the capital of the Palestinian State which they hoped would be
established in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
When Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin assumed the mantle as Prime
Minister of Israel, he quickly became identified as a “Jew by accident”, or a
Jew who wanted to depart from his Jewish identity, his Jewish history, and his
Jewish culture. It was Rabbi Novak who identified the fact that the Rabin
government “discontinued the mandated study of Jewish history in Israeli
schools.” Yet when the JINOs or Jews in
Name Only identity with the European Lost Sheep of the House of Israel, a
larger and more profound danger comes to the “sheep of Israel” that is the
Orthodox Jews who identity with the mandates, goals and prophetic visions of
the G-d of Israel through halakhic observance of the Torah.
To give a broader
perspective of the role of the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel on how
they have plotted to destroy the State of Israel, now ruled by their tribal
brothers, the Jews of the House of Judah, we have to relook again at the
formation of the Oslo Accord in 1993. We today know in hindsight that the Oslo
Accord was an outgrowth of the Madrid Conference of 1991 that was
conducted secretly in Oslo, Norway and in Tel Aviv, Israel.
We have to
comprehend in the seminal research of the Orthodox Jewish scholar, Yair Davidiy with “Brit Am” and the numerous books he has
researched and written on the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel, we
begin to comprehend that the Norwegian’s ancestral forefathers were the
rebellious Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel. This land of Norway, became
in part populated by the Royal
Israelite Scythians, later known as the Vikings
of the North.
Out of the Fafo
institute in Oslo, Norway’s first research project was initiated in the
Palestinian territories under the leadership of the Fafo Institute’s brain-child
Terje Rød Larsen. It evolved into the international
peace research and politics, particularly in the Middle
East, from the late 1980s to the 1993 that gave us the Oslo Peace Accord.
Here was the institute hosted by the Lost Ten Tribal descendants of Israel
who were now plotting to slice and dice up the Land of Israel in the name of
“Peace”. This was the same concept of “Land for Peace” that was eloquently
spoken on Israeli radio by Tamar Yohan called, “The
Isaiah Plan: The Only Formula for Peace”.
Yet, would it surprise us when learn that the Fafo Institute for Labour
and Social Research and the Fafo Institute for Applied International
Studies had offices not only in Oslo, Norway but also in Jerusalem
and Beijing? Right under the noses of the Israeli Jewish Prime
Ministers, the descendants of the Lost Ten Tribes of Northern Israel were
hosting “peace conferences” seeking to destroy the State of Israel and were
collaborating with each other between Christian Norway and the Atheist rulers
of China.
This fact was noted in the Israeli national assembly Knesset uprising when
then Prime
Minister Ariel Sharon revealed that Shimon Peres allegedly had secret meetings
with the Palestinian Prime Minister Ahmed Qurie, along with Saab Erekat the
Palestinian negotiation minister, Terje Rød Larsen the UN’s special envoy for
the Palestinians along with Shimon Peres and two of Peres’ advisors. They met
clandestinely in the northern Tel Aviv suburb home of Terje Rød Larsen’s
Norwegian wife, Mona Juul
in 2004, who was finishing her diplomatic career between the years of 2001-2004
as the Norwegian Ambassador to Israel.
Sharon had every right to be suspicious, yet he was accused by the
oppositional leaders of bugging the home Larsen and Juul’s home; not that
Peres, Larsen and Juul were seeking tyranny against the State of Israel.
Then we learned from Barry Chamish that Terje Rød Larsen, the founder and first director
of the Fafo Institute, was also the person to whom today’s Israeli President
Shimon Peres entrusted with $100,000 to bribe and to secure for him the honor
of winning the 1994 Nobel Peace Prize together with Yitzhak
Rabin and Yasser Arafat. This prize, nominated by the Norwegian
Noble Peace Prize Committee was given for Shimon Peres for his participation in
producing the Oslo Accords as the Israeli Foreign Minister that
later .
Barry
Chamish – “Those who know Peres acknowledge his, honestly, psychopathic need
for medals and awards, to the point of bribing the Nobel committee for a prize.
Last week, Yoav Yitzhak, in the wide circulation newspaper Maariv, revealed
that Peres gave Terje Larsen, the UN Middle East representative, $100,000 to
secure him a Nobel Prize.
This
week, David Bedein, writing in Makor Rishon, applied the coup de grace. He
interviewed a member of the Nobel Prize Committee, Kaare Kristiansen, who not
just confirmed the bribe but described Larsen's pressure on the committee in
full detail.”
As noted in the ancient prophecy of Rabbi Judah ben Samuel, in the last ten Jubilees before the beginning to the
future Messianic Era the Ottoman Empire would rule the Land of Israel for eight
Jubilees (1517-1917). During the ninth Jubilee, the Land of Israel would become
a “no-man’s land” for one Jubilee (1917-1967). Then at the end of the ninth
Jubilee (1967), the Jewish people would gain possession of the city of
Jerusalem during the 6-day war of 1967. They would then retain control of the
City of Jerusalem for one Jubilee (1967-2017) and then the era of the Maschiah
ben David will begin.
Truly this prophecy runs in
opposition to the visionary dreamers of the world, the global internationalists
and trans-nationalists dreaming for world domination that included both, the
New President of Israel, Shimon Peres and his former Labor ally, Tzipi Livni.
It was they who wished then and today, to share the laurels of world dominion
for themselves as they proposed an international Jerusalem.
Whom they are allying
themselves with are the powers of darkness who are seeking to wrestle away the
city of Jerusalem from the G-d of Israel and the forces of the divine light.
They were seeking then and today to destroy forever Jerusalem’s true biblical
mandate to become HaShem’s world capital on Planet Earth that was destined to
become the “solar rex” capital of the future era of Greater Israel under the rule of the
Maschiah ben David (Messiah son of David).
The parallel to the “Stick
and the Carrot” was being applied, in the form of the 2005 earlier conference
of mutual affirmation in 2005 when in Brussels the “Sweet and Loving Rabbis and
Imams seeking PEACE" were instructed to give approval for a Palestinian
State and give away the divine biblical “title and deed of trust” of the Jewish
homeland in the internationally “contested land of Judea”. Yet, even more
contested were the “mountains of Ephraim” in the “biblical heartland of the
Patriarchs Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, where the European globalists were seeking
to give away also the divine “title and deed of trust” that the G-d of Israel
claimed would become the tribal inheritance of the Lost Ten Tribes of the House
of Israel when the day of the Messiah arrives. Yes, both of these two regions
where the G-d of Israel gave as His covenanted oath entrusted to his chosen
ones, are now coveted by the internationalists to give as a “gift” to the
Palestinian people for a Palestinian State.
Is it important to know
that Brussels, where all of these conspiratorial plots to destroy Israel
emanate from is recognized as the “Catholic capital of Europe” and is still
under the jurisdiction and patronage of the Edomite King of Belgium? It is also
important to know that Brussels, Belgium is also one of the host countries of
ancient Gaul, where it became one of the final national homelands of the Lost
Ten Tribes of the House of Israel who settled here upwards to 2,300 years ago
and remain there today?
The arch-enemy HaSatan,
knows full well that the “appointed time” for the guela, the redemption of All
Israel is about to unfold. He is marshalling the entire angelic host of
darkness to try to prevent this divine process from happening. There will come
a time, in the near future, when the G-d of Israel finally proclaims, “It is
done!” At that time, the power of the Divine will sweep all around the universe
and begin the transformation of all the “Chosen Ones” of Israel and the end
will be.
Now with the 2006 Israeli
War with Hizballah in Lebanon behind them, the image of invincible power of the
Jewish military power over the Islamic hordes was now broken and diminished.
The Orthodox Jewish “sheep” have now been demoralized. They were beginning to
feel defenseless as their “evil shepherds” were “sleeping with the enemy” and
now the Islamic hordes were clamoring and threatening them on every side.
A new stage of peace, and
negotiations were about to become unleashed again. This time the Jewish
shepherd would become the new Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu. The question
that continued to haunt them was, will there ever be a “Good Shepherd” that
will seek to protect HaShem’s sheep living in Israel? The hope and promise
again came from the sages of Judah.
According to HaShem’s true
emissaries of divine justice, the “land of your dwellings” that was to become
in the future the homeland for the return of the Lost Sheep of the House of
Israel, will soon be realized when the overwhelming divine power of the G-d of
Israel redeems them. How then will they be redeemed and restored back into
brotherhood with their brothers of the House of Judah? It appears that it will
come by imploding the economies of the Western globalists in American, Europe
and their far-flung 19th century colonies. The lands that once hosted the Lost Sheep of
the House of Israel will become inhabitable to them. The realization will
someday come; it’s time to go home!
The great sages of Judah
say that this future redemption at this late stage will probably come by “bi’etah”; that is redemption in its time
with great calamities, catastrophes and world destruction. The Lost Ten Tribes
of Israel who had refused to return willingly in past eras will now have to be
reunited back into brotherhood with their tribal “brothers” or “cousins” of
Judah during days of apocalyse. This will come under circumstances that will
truly be revealed as “Acts of G-d”, when with the power Spirit of the Divine
will come upon both the sheep of Judah and the sheep of Israel and they will
return in teshuva (repentance) back to their G-d.
Yet, if the covenanted Jews
in Israel were to call upon the “Name of the L-rd” and return in “teshuva” to
the G-d of Israel, the entire catastrophic clouds of judgment and disaster
could immediately stop from enveloping the entire world. The Satanic powers of
darkness will be halted by the “strong hand of the Divine” in what the Jewish
sages call “achishena” for the guela
(redemption) will immediately come with great haste to fulfill Divine Justice.
So what will it be? The
final hours of this era are now upon us. Will the Lost Sheep of the House of
Israel repent and be willing to return to the brotherhood and fellowship of the
Jewish people; for it is they who have remained in covenant with the G-d of
Israel, by keeping the halakhic commands given to Moses on the mount called
Sinai; 3,600 years ago. Is not, then the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel
and the Jewish people still living in the Diaspora of our modern Babylons only
be able to return in aliyah to the “land of their forefathers” during the days
of Divine Judgment, calamities, and great conflagrations?
That time has now come, and
we are watching daily the unfolding “Drama of the Ages” that will bring the
redemption of All Israel (Klal Yisrael). Are you prepared to become a part of
that supernal Event of all Times when the
mountains of Israel in Shomron and Judea are restored for habitation? Are you willing to return and live in the
land of Greater Israel that will be recreated into a new Garden of Eden (Gan
Eden)? Think about it!

Buried under a Palestinian orchard near the city of
David, Bethlehem, a mysterious 2,800 year old pillar has been discovered by an
Israeli tour guide. In the month of
February, 2013, a Israeli tour guide was taking a group of Israel lovers though
an underground tunnel near to the ancient home of King David, when they accidently
stumbling over a pillar with exotic carvings by expert stonemasons attributed
to the era of King Solomon’s Tomb.
Binyamin Trooper, the tour guide reported his find to
the Israel
Antiquities Authority and to his surprise, they knew about it, and urged
him to “keep it quiet” and let it remain unnoticed beneath two yards of dirt
and rubble.
Trooper, a worker at the field school in Kibbutz Kfar
Etzion, was informed of finding such a politically charged pillar of antiquity
attributed to the era of Kings David and Solomon, that was buried beneath land
that was privately owned by a Palestinian. Known full well, that the Department
of Antiquities would not dare to excavate in this region, he instead reported
it in the Hebrew local press this potentially “huge find” which have filtered
out in Israel over the last few weeks.
Though the location has been kept secret to keep it
out of the hands of Palestinian thieves of works of antiquities, this site has
been secretly visit by several noted Israeli archeologists including Yosef
Garfinkel, professor of archeology of Hebrew University, who agreed that “there
is no doubt that the remains are those of monumental construction from the time
of the First Temple [of King Solomon].”
According to the analysis of Professor Garkinkel, the
capital of the pillar at the top, is identified as “proto-aeolic” in
construction whose style dates to about 2,800 year ago, within two hundred
years of Kings David and Solomon during the era of the kings of the Northern Kingdom
of Judah. The top of the pillar,
known as a capital, is of a type known as proto-aeolic, he said. That style
dates to around 2,800 years ago.
The
evidence appears that this pillar was a “marker” to the entrance of a carved
water tunnel that tunneled underground at least 250 yards. According to Garfinkel,
this type of construction would have required the skill masons that were hired
by the central administrative government in the City of David that ruled over
the Northern Kingdom of Judah.
This
type of construction as explained by the eminent archeologist appears to be
patterned like another grand water project during the era of the First Temple;
the Siloam
Tunnel in Jerusalem,
that today is tunneling under the modern-day Arab neighborhood of Silwan, that
is believed to have been constructed during the days of King Hezekiah who was
preparing the city for the siege of Sennacherib, the King of Assyria in the 8th
century BCE.
So
now this site, never in the possession of the Palestinians 2,000 years ago yet
under the rule of the Jews during the era of the Temple of Herod is now internationally
contested to be Palestinian homeland. That is property that was under the
possession of the Jewish people from the temple era days of Kings David and
Solomon until the Temple of Herod was destroyed with Jerusalem in 70 CE.
Not
only that, this pillar is in the vicinity of Bethlehem, never an Arab city in
antiquity but the esteemed birthplace of King David. As was noted by Hezekiah’s
grand water tunnel, this water tunnel site also suggests that it was a royal
sponsored project nearby to a royal palace, a government building or an
agricultural center, for as Garfinkel mused:
Israeli Archeologist Binyamin Garfinkel - “The
construction is first rate. There is definitely something important there from
biblical time, the 9th to the 8th century BCE.”
According to the principles
of true Zionism, the re-discovery of archeological remnants of the ancient past
have always shown the long history and the depth of the presence and love of
the Jewish people for the “Holy Land of Israel.” This has recently since the 1840s been a
rediscovery for not only the Jewish people, but also the Lost Ten Tribes of the
House of Israel who through their Christian roots have rediscovered their own
Hebrew roots, once lost but now being revealed to be the Lost brothers of
Judah, seeking to be reunited to Klal Yisrael, All Israel in the era just preceding
to the Jewish messianic age.
It’s no wonder that the
Palestinians have no sympathy to any discovery that identifies Bethlehem in
which they control, as a new archeological site identifying Jewish presence on land
in Israel which they claim as their own and part of their ancient cultural
inheritance. According the Mufti of Jerusalem, who was given governance but not
possession of the Temple Mount it has been a part of his grand scheme to destroy
all Hebrew and Jewish presence upon the Temple Mount. This is part of their way
of denying Jewish history on land in which they contest is part of their
ancient past but now claimed by the State of Israel as being part of the
ancient Jewish Kingdom of Judah.
The Jewish tour guide,
Benyamin Trooper stated that it was his hopes that interest in this site and
the pillar that marks its archeological worthiness will eventually stimulate
the Israeli government to conduct such an excavation. As Trooper stated:
Benyamin
Trooper – “This
site could be a source of income for the Palestinian owners and the nearby
village.”
Yet,
the Israel Antiquities Authority has been careful in its reports to the public
responses of this archeological treasure, so they also have not ruled out that
they could plan to excavate on this site also. As the Israel Archeological
Authority did recently state:
Israel Antiquities Authority – “This is
indeed an important find, which preliminary information dates to the time of
the kings of Judah. At the same time, it should be known that the subject is
sensitive and requires treatment that is delicate and responsible. The
Antiquities Authority, along with all other relevant authorities, has been
dealing with this for some time in an attempt to bring about the complete
excavation of the remains, and will continue its attempts to do so.”
This international conflict
for the possession of the tribal lands of Shomron and Judea, may be a conflict
that is about over. According to the Prophet
Zechariah, he was given a prophecy by the G-d of Israel in Hadrach, near
Damascus that a apocalyptic calamity would occur in Damascus that would change
the whole equation of Syrian rule by President Bashar Assad and would virtually
destroy the Syrian government and those lands under her influence through her
surrogates; Hizballah in Lebanon and Hamas in Gaza. According to Ibn Ezra, sometime in a future
era before the revealing of the messiah, a tsunami, or the sea would inundate
Tyre and carry away her possessions (Ezekiel 26:3, 19) and fire would destroy
her buildings, and this region will become a part of the Land of Israel.
Zechariah
9:1-7 (parts) – “Toward Hashem will be the eyes of mankind and all the tribes
of Israel (12-tribed Israel)…Tyre built herself a fortification…the L-rd will
impoverish her and He will strike her wealth with the sea (tsunami), and it (Tyre)
will be consumed by fires…
Gaza
will see and tremble greatly…for the one to whom she looked [for protection]
has been humiliated (Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood). A King (Hamas political
bureau chief, Khaled Meshaal or Hamas Prime Minister of Gaza Ismail Haniyeh) will
perish from Gaza…and I (G-d of Israel) will eliminate the pride of the
Philistines (Palestinians). I will remove his blood from his mouth and his
abominations from between his teeth, and then he too will remain for our G-d.
He will be like a master in Judah, and Ekron will be like the Jebusites.”
According to the sages of
Israel the Palestinians (ancient Philistines) will stop their bloodthirsty and
idolatrous practices, their genetic hatred to the Jewish people and will join
the Jewish people in Judah in worshiping the G-d of Israel. At that time, the Palestinians
will become like the leaders of Judah, and Ekron will be as Jewish as the former
Jebusite city of Jerusalem; totally assimilated into the Jewish economy. This will be a day to pray to come swiftly!
************
The spiritual fight to corrupt the covenant relationship
between G-d and the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob has been ongoing
for over three thousand years. According to the Chumash, according to the
rabbinic commentators, G-d’s covenant with Israel was a covenant that could not
be broken, even though there was a party not deserving of it being fulfilled
for all eternity. Yet, HaSatan and the forces of evil will continue to lead us
to believe that if we fail and break the covenantal demands, it’s over for
us. That’s not true. For the G-d of Israel has promised that even if the
Jews and the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel are both guilty of breaking
the covenant, yet, at the end of time, He will honor His Holy Name, and we both
will be redeemed; at least those who desire to be included as one of G-d’s
redeemed.
As we see in the article above, the same hold true for the
Palestinian Arabs whose genetic past has blended to a significant event with
the local Jewish Israelites living in the Land of Israel. The day will soon
come when the assimilation process that has caused such destruction to the
Jews, in Europe, America, and also in the Middle East will soon end. The flow
of assimilation will soon reverse, not away from historic Judaism but back
towards Judaism.
For the Christian Lost Ten Israelites, this will also be a
rediscovery that their “Jesus Christ” was a Prince of David, a Jewish rabbi,
who lived his life as a Hasidic Jew above and beyond the letter of the Jewish
Torah law. His call to you today, is the
same as his call was to his disciples two thousand years ago. If you want to be his disciple; follow him by
doing as he did and doing as he said; to live the life of Torah observance like
any Orthodox Jew is doing today.
So today, the G-d of Israel is whistling or coaxing you to
come back to the brotherhood of Klal Yisra’el (All Israel). To learn more about
this redemptive process, you are Welcome to Contact “Kol Ha'Tor”, the Voice of the
Turtledove. Here is a joint Orthodox Jewish and 10-Triber Vision to bring
awareness of the imminent fulfillment of the Biblical Prophecies regarding the
Redemption of all Israel (12 Tribes Re-conciled and Re-United). This super
Event of all Times will entail establishing in the region of Shomron (the
Ancient Bible Heartland of the Patriarchs) and the Judean Wilderness into a new
homeland for the Return of the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel when All Israel will
finally be redeemed.

Nearby to the Ramat Shlomo
Quarter, a large Ultra-Orthodox Haredi Jewish neighborhood nearby to and
northwest of Jerusalem, another Herodian Quarry of limestone used in the
quarrying of smaller megalithic stones for King Herod’s Temple has been
discovered. Over 2,000 years old, this ancient excavation site was discovered
prior to the paving of a Highway 21 by the Moriah Company, according to the
Israeli Antiquities Authority (IAA).
This quarry which is about one
dunam in size is estimated to be 2,030 years old or about the year of 27
BCE. Located on Shmuel Hanavi Street
nearby to the neighborhood of Jerusalem’s American Colony, the excavation site
is bordered by the Jerusalem neighborhood Ramot to the west, Har Hotzvim to the
south and the Shuafat neighborhood to the east.
Originally call Reches
Shuafat (Shuafat Ridge), this rocky ridge was later named after the
Orthodox Rabbi Shlomo Zalman Auerbach, one of Judah preeminent rabbinic
scholars whose estimated 300,000 – 500,000 supporters lined the streets of
Jerusalem in 1995 when this rabbinic Torah giant died. His first major publication, Meorei Esh
was written on the use of electricity on the Jewish Shabbat and endorsed by
Rabbi Chaim Ozer Grodzinsky with these words; ‘A New Light will Shine upon
Zion’.
The quarry excavation site is
currently being explored by Dr. Ofer Sion and Yehuda Rapuano of the IAA, before
this area will be paved over with a street and developed into residential
buildings. According to Irina Zilberbod, IAA excavation director:
IAA Excavation Director Irina Zilberbod – “The quarrying phenomenon created a spectacular sight of bedrock columns and
steps and craters of sorts that were the result of the rock-cuttings. What
remained are rock masses in various stages of quarrying, and there were those
that were found in a preliminary stage of rock-cutting prior to detachment.”
According to Dr. Ofer Sion,
the large limestone blocks were excavated here and reused for the Temple Mount walls
nearby to the grand expansion and enlargement of Zerubabbel’s Temple into King
Herod’s Temple. This large stones were about the maximum height of two meters
(6.0 to 6.5 feet) and weighing in “tens if not hundreds of tons”. In total, the team
uncovered an area of around 11,000 square feet where the ancient quarry formerly
existed.
Yet, this was not the only quarry in the region. This
northern region, located along the entire slope of the rocky ridge from Musrara
Quarter to the Sanhedria Quarter have been the exploration grounds of prior
discovered quarries. This has prompted the name for this region as Jerusalem's
“city of quarries.” The youngest quarry dates from the Second Temple Era period.
Among the
artifacts discovered at the excavation site were multiple pickaxes plus metal
wedges that were used to “sever” the cut stones from the surrounding limestone
foundational layer. There was also an iron key, that was possibly used in a
large monumental door such as one of the gates to Jerusalem, or to King Herod’s
temple, plus metal plates or wedges that were used to sever the stones from the
bedrock, and coins and pottery shards dating back to the end of the Second
Temple period (the first century BCE). As Archeologist Irina Zilberbod, the
excavation director said in an official statement for the Antiquities
Authority:
Archeologist Irina Zilberbod - “The pick axes were used to cut the severance channels around the stone
block in the bedrock surface and the arrowhead-shaped detachment wedge, which
is solid iron, was designed to detach the base of the stone from the bedrock by
means of striking it with a hammer. The key that was found, and which was
probably used to open a door some 2,000 years ago, is curved and has teeth.
What was it doing there? We can only surmise that it might have fallen from the
pocket of one of the quarrymen (or a Temple Construction Supervisor).”
One of the prior excavations
sites nearby that was explored by the IAA over five years ago in 2007 were larger
megalithic stones reaching upwards to 26 feet in length and no doubt weighed over
100 tons in weight. These were used by King Herod and possibly even earlier by King
Solomon for Jerusalem’s monumental building projects. As Dr. Ofer Sion,
excavation director reported:
Dr.
Ofer Sion – “We know from historical
sources that in order to build the Temple and other projects which Herod
constructed, such as his palace, hundreds of thousands of various size stones
were required - most of them weighing between two and five tons each. The
dimensions of the stones that were produced in the quarry that was revealed are
suitable for the Temple walls.”
The
reason for the ridge site as a quarry zone is the fact that the Meleke
limestone rock formation was easily quarried for after the limestone was cut, shaped
and exposed to air, the limestone rock would harden immediately. The region of
the quarry was at a higher elevation than the Temple Mount so the transport of
the enormous limestone stone would have been taken downhill along a
first-century road that was discovered nearby.
How it
was transported was not exactly known except during the time of the Roman
Empire the use of giant wood-lifting devices were used and oxen plus giant
rollers could have brought the stones down to the site of the temple
reconstruction area by King Herod the Great. As explained by Dr. Ofer Sion:
Dr. Ofer
Sion – “The massive quarrying
effort, on the order of hundreds of thousands of stones, lowered the topography
of Jerusalem in the vicinity of the Old City. Today, with the exposure of this
quarry, the intensity of the building projects as described in the historical
sources can be proven.”
Quarried Stones on King Herod’s Temple Mount near
the Western Wall – Archives BibleSearchers
Reflections
Flavius
Josephus wrote that before Herod built the Temple he prepared the
infrastructure for it by quarrying stones north of the Temple Mount for eight
years in preparation for the largest platformed Temple in the entire Roman
Empire. With the preparation done, Herod’s Temple took only two years, a
remarkably short time to build such a monumental edifice. As Dr. Ofer Sion
continued:
Dr. Ofer Sion – “With
the exposure of the quarries in Sanhedria and Ramat Shlomo, it is clear that
Herod began quarrying closest to the Temple and worked away from it; first he
exploited the stone on the nearby ridges and subsequently he moved on to quarry
in more distant regions.”
According
to the archeologists, these multi-ton limestone stones were transported
downhill from the site of the quarry along an ancient road to the walled city
of King David, Jerusalem to the south where they would have been used in the
construction of the platform walls on the Temple Mount, King Herod’s Temple on
its own platform mount to the south, other monumental buildings such as King
Herod’s Palace nearby to the west.”
What is
clearly depicted is the historical fact that the Jewish people were living on their
own divinely appointed tribal homeland called the Roman Province of Judea under
the rule of King Herod the Great. They were participants with a massive
construction project to enlarge the Temple Mount site and to rebuild King
Herod’s Temple to the honor of the G-d of Israel as early as 30 BCE on a temple
site that was at least 500 years old at the time. This was more than 720 to
1220 years before the Islamic Shrine Masijd Qubbat As-Sakhrah was completed in
691 CE at the order of Umayyad Caliph Abd al-Malik.

The Battle for the
Minds of the Human Race is now coming to its fullest revelation. The forces of
Darkness battled against the Forces of HaShem’s angels of Light as the final
battle over 2000 years ago for the souls of men on Planet Earth. It was the
divine rule of HaShem that the Sheep of the House of Judah would be sent into
one last exile, yet out of this epic war would set the stage for the restoration
for Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel and the final redemption of All
Israel; the Ten Lost Tribes of the House of Israel and the Jews of the House of
Judah.
The Roman Empire was a
major part of this Drama of the Ages then and continues to be so today with its
Christian descendants, the Roman Catholic Church and her children of the Christian
Protestant faith. They will all be participants in the Final Act of that Divine
Drama.
These participants not
only include the Jews of the House of Judah, the Lost Ten Tribes of the House
of Northern Israel; both of the House of Jacob (Israel), but will include the
Roman Edomites of the House of Esau, the brother of Jacob of the House of Isaac
and the Arabs of the House of Ishmael, the brother to Isaac of the House of
Abraham.

The following extracts from Rabbinic commentaries on
Parashat Tazriah & Metzorah have been compiled into a comprehensive Commentary
by Kol HaTor with our own comments and insights between [brackets].
There are 54 separate Torah
portions in the annual Jewish Torah reading program. In non-leap years there
are only 50 Sabbaths. For this reason some Torah portions are combined and read
together for one week. This week Parashot Tazria and Metzora, which are
two of the least popular portions for modern Jews, are combined.
[For
detailed weekly Torah Reading specifications for every year in advance, refer
to: Hebrew Calendar
For this week we have selected Rabbinic
commentaries which not only link onto our last Parashah, with the amazing
Message protruding from the death of Nadav and Avihu in the Tabernacle, but also bring
a sequence of these “dry” and uninteresting, legalistic Parashot into exciting
perspective. Come share once more in the life-giving experience that
Rabbinic insight gives to the written Word that is so often skimmed over or
even excluded by readers of the Bible.
Before setting out on this exciting spiritual high-ride, we
need to make mental notes of key Hebrew terms that not only underlie this
commentary and much of the main theme of the Bible, but should also form part
of the sincere Bible searcher's future vocabulary:
Tzara'at - defilement,
skin disease akin to leprosy
Metzorah - someone
afflicted by tzara'at.
Summary of this week's double Torah
portion: After last week's portion regarding tumah (spiritual defilement) resulting from dead animals, Parshat Tazria introduces the various categories
of tumah emanating from human beings. A woman after giving birth is
ritually impure for a certain period of time prescribed for her to stay away
from the Tabernacle or Temple.
The rest of the portion describes in great detail the
varying and numerous manifestations of a skin disease called tzara'at -
the physical manifestation of a spiritual malaise, a punishment from G-d for
the sin of speaking evil speech, amongst various other anti-social
transgressions.
A metzorah, (someone afflicted by a tzaraat-like
skin disease) is subject to a series of examinations by a Cohen (priest), who
declares the patient to be either tahor (pure) or tamei (impure). If tamei,
he is isolated outside of the camp, an appropriate punishment for someone whose
foul tongue caused dissension amongst others. After the period of defilement,
the formerly afflicted person offers sacrifices before being declared ritually
pure again by the High Priest.
The second, parashat Metzora, further deals with treatment for tzara'at.
Metzora also contains the first mention of ritual immersion of a person in
water for spiritual purification from a physical impurity ('baptism').
In parashat Shemini last week we read about Aaron's two
righteous sons, Nadav and Avihu, bringing “alien fire” into the Holy of Holies,
a service which only the High Priest was permitted to perform once a year on
Yom Kippur. They paid with their lives for their excessive zeal based on
their advanced thinking on matters Divine.
We considered this as a cautionary reprimand for today's
reawakening Ten Tribers who are so greatly blessed with discovering and
restoring Hebraic Truths which were hidden to them while in exile amongst the
nations. Many of these non-Jewish restorers of ancient Hebraic Truths
become unteachable, considering their “discoveries” as exclusive Divine gifts
and privileges.
It is not strange for these restorers to “barge in where
Angels fear to tread” with their hasty and often shallow condemnations,
judgments, conclusions and rejection especially, of Rabbinic guidance, formulated
during the ‘life-long’ extensive period of 3500 years, tight back from the time
of Moses himself!.
Let us now embark on this week's Parashot as the wisdom of
Rabbinic insight instills ‘life’ into an otherwise dormant seeming portion of
legalistic Scripture.
Rabbi Reuven Mann with Mesorah.org writes about the
following observance:
Rabbi Reuven Mann - “According
to the Rabbis these phenomena [of sin-induced skin diseases] are no longer in
existence, for we are not on a high enough level to warrant this degree of
Divine Providence. We must therefore be even more careful about the
type of speech we indulge in. The Torah regards cleanliness of
speech as essential to a life of holiness. The words we utter can
have profound consequences not only on others but on ourselves as
well. We should always be cognizant of the temptation and danger of
slanderous speech and take all the necessary precautions to avoid it.”
Rabbi David Silverberg, from Virtual Beyt
Midrash, gives us insight into the Torah laws
concerning
Rabbi David Silverberg -
“Parashat Tazria introduces us to the laws of tzara’at, a type of
skin-disease which renders the patient tamei (ritually impure).
Throughout the ages, scholars have uncovered for us the symbolism underlying
this institution and its particular laws, showing how the procedures for
dealing with tzara’at reflect the proper approach towards spiritual
defilement in general.
These analyses generally
take into account the prominent role of the kohen throughout this process. The
kohen was the only one who could formally declare the presence of tzara’at.
A non-kohen, no matter how proficient he may be in the relevant laws, cannot
establish tum’at tzara’at [skin defilement].
Only once the kohen
determines the presence of tzara’at does the patient become ritually impure.
Similarly, as the Torah outlines in the beginning of Parashat Metzora, the
kohen is the one who conducts the metzora’s [individual defiled person] process
of purification. The kohen’s role is often seen as symbolic of the function
served by the spiritual guides and leaders in “purifying” the community from
their spiritual ills.
The Midrash attributes tzara’at
to the “drying of a fountain.” Leaving aside the physiological issue of to what
exactly this Midrash refers, let us address the more crucial question: what
does this represent in terms of tzara’at and its symbolic meaning?
Rav Stollman suggests
that Chazal teach us in this passage that impurity results from a “drained
fountain.” The process of defilement does not take place in a vacuum, it does
not occur suddenly without reason. A person or community becomes “tamei” when
its authentic fountains of spirituality are drained, when the “hairs” begin to
“drink” from alternative sources of “life” rather than their traditional
teachings. Tum’a thus means the detachment from one’s source, from one’s
origins.”
[This is a condition that the 10 Northern Tribes
of Israel in exile amongst the nations have been facing for the last 2800
years, being banned by the Divine One from the Land of Israel. The modern phenomenon
of the world wide Hebraic Roots Restoration Movement is bringing awareness of
their Hebrew Roots to millions of these lost and scattered sheep of the House
of Israel, drawing them to Torah observation and a desire to return to the
Promised Land. This all in fulfillment of the Main Theme of Biblical

religious leaders of every generation, is to identify this detachment, to check
and see whether or not the people draw their values and ideals from the
“fountain” of tradition. They must carefully study both the tradition and the
current reality to determine whether or not there exists a parity between the
two. Should they determine the presence of tum’a,
that the fountain has indeed dried, then they must lend the metzora a hand as he undergoes the
process of purification, the process of refilling the wellsprings with the
spiritual waters of our traditions, enabling him to reenter the Jewish
[Hebrew]people and recommit himself to the teachings of our heritage.”
Rav Chanoch Waxman from Virtual Beyt Midrash rounds up our review. He presents a very broad
perspective, linking several Scripture sections together and serving as a
continuation of our discussions on Nadav
and Avihu in Parashat
Shemini last week.
Rav Chanoch Waxman – “Immediately after the deaths of Nadav and Avihu, Moshe received an important
communication from G-d regarding the appropriate conditions for entering the
holiest part of the Mishkan.
Leviticus
16:1 – “And HaShem spoke to Moshe after the death of the two sons of Aharon,
who died when they drew too close to the presence of HaShem. And HaShem said to
Moshe: Tell Aharon your brother that he should not come at will into the Holy
Place within the curtain in front of the covering upon the ark, lest he die,
for I appear in the cloud over the cover. Thus only shall he enter the Holy Place…’”
This
passage is, of course, the opening of Parashat Acharei Mot [two Parashot
further on].
Strangely
enough, the Torah does not place this passage in textual sequence with the
death of Nadav and Avihu. Despite the apparent
chronological sequence implied by the subject matter, the issue of entering
into holy space and the possibility of death, the Torah only presents the
parasha of Acharei Mot a full five
chapters after the death of Nadav and
Avihu.
Despite
the near synchronicity with the death of Nadav
Avihu implied by the term “after” (see Ramban 16:1), the Torah chooses to
delay the parasha of Acharei Mot,
literally “after the death,” until after the corpus of Chapters Eleven through
Fifteen.
This intervening bulk, primarily consisting of
the parashiyot of Tazria and Metzora and the laws of "tzara'at"
[defilement], can be categorized as the laws of tum'a and tahara [defiled
and undefiled]. All of its component parts relate to the concepts of “clean”
and “unclean” or perhaps more accurately, “pristine” and “defiled.” A quick
sketch of the structure of this intervening segment should demonstrate the
point. The overall segment breaks down as follows.
Topic
Verses
Sample mention
of "tamei"
and "tahor"
Section 1- Permissible and
Forbidden Animals
11:1-47
11:4-8,
24-38, 47

12:2, 4-8
Section 3.1- Tzara'at (lesions)
of the body and Tzara'at

13:1-59

14:1-32
14:1, 4, 7-9, 11,
19-20, 31-32
Section 3.3- Tzara'at

14:33-57
14:36, 40, 48,

and menstruation
15:1-33
15:2-6, 13-14,
16-18, 19,
25-26, 29-31
If so, we face an obvious problem. Why does the
Torah choose to “interrupt” the natural flow of the narrative from the death of
Nadav and Avihu (10:1-20) to the laws for Aharon's entrance into the holy
area (16:1-34) with the laws of tum'a and tahara (11:1-15:33)?
Alternatively, we may prefer to the “code of tum'a
and tahara” the strange phenomenon of tzara'at. In other words,
why does the Torah place the laws of tzara'at, and the overall code, in
close juxtaposition to the death of Nadav
and Avihu?

Alternatively,
we may prefer to the “code of tum'a and tahara” the strange
phenomenon of tzara'at. In other words, why does the Torah place the
laws of tzara'at, and the overall code, in close juxtaposition to the
death of Nadav and Avihu?
Quite
possibly we may have already done much of the conceptual work necessary to
answer these questions. The answer may well lie in connecting the two concepts,
“tum'a and tahara” and “entrance into a holy place,” discussed
until this point.
In
describing the purification period of the postpartum women, the Torah states
the following:
Leviticus
12:4 – Our [current Parashah] – “She shall remain in a state of purification
from her blood for thirty-three days, she shall not touch any consecrated thing
(kodesh), nor enter the
sanctuary (mikdash) until her
period of purification is completed.”
Given
that she is “tamei” and has not yet reentered the pristine, pure and
holy state of “tahara,” the postpartum women is banned from contact with
sanctified objects and sanctified space. Or to phrase this a little bit
differently, the sanctified personal state of "tahara"
constitutes a necessary condition for contact with the holy.
This
mutual exclusivity of holiness and tum’a is also present as a theme in
the other segments of the overall section outlined above. The sufferer of tzara’at
lesions is banned from the camp, whose center consists of the abode of G-d.
This is not only alluded to by the text of Vayikra [Leviticus](see 13:46), but
stated explicitly in Bamidbar [Numbers], during the arrangement of the camp.
Bamidbar
5:2-3 – “And the Lord spoke to Moshe, saying: ‘Instruct the Israelites to
remove from the camp anyone with tzara’at
lesions… put them outside the camp so that they do not defile the camp of those
in whose midst I dwell.’”
Likewise,
in summing up the laws of discharges, section four of the overall code of
tum'a and tahara, the Torah reiterates the tension between a state
of tum’a and the sanctuary, and mandates the death penalty for the
improper mixing of the two.
Vayikra
[Leviticus] 15:31 – “And you shall warn the Children of Israel regarding
uncleanness, lest they die through their uncleanness by defiling My Mishkan
which is among them.”
Moreover,
the verse of c partially quoted above also mandates the expulsion of the zav
and the zava, those suffering from emissions, from the camp.
Finally,
this connection, or perhaps need to disconnect, between tum’a and
sanctity can be located not just in sections, two, three, and four of the code,
but even in section one, the laws of permitted and forbidden animals. In
closing out the segment, G-d informs Israel that he has high expectations:
Va'yikrah
11:44-45 – “For I HaShem your G-d: you shall sanctify yourselves and be holy,
for I am holy. You shall not make yourselves unclean through (eating) any
swarming thing… For I am HaShem… you shall be holy for I am holy.”
Sacredness
does not end at the borders of the sanctuary nor even at the borders of the
camp. The category of the holy extends to the very person of each and every
individual member of Israel. As members of the holy nation, another type of
mobile sanctuary, another method of encapsulating G-d's presence in the world,
the Israelites are enjoined from improper mixing of the sacred and profane, of
contacting or ingesting certain kinds of animals.
To
put this all together, the common denominator of Chapters Eleven through
Fifteen, the laws of tum’a and tahara, consists not just of the
categories of tum’a and tahara but also of the need to separate
between the tamei and the holy. Whether in the context of the sanctuary
itself, the camp within which it resides, or the people within whose camp G-d
resides, holiness demands special care, and particular conditions for
encountering and preserving it.
This
brings us back to the sin and death of Nadav and Avihu. They died
because of lack of care for the details of “hilkhot kodashim,” the laws
for the proper treatment of sanctity and approach to sanctified space. They
entered the sanctuary and G-d's space when not commanded. It is no wonder,
then, that in between the story of their death (10:1-20) and the story of the
proper conditions for entering the holiest space (16:1-34), the Torah teaches
the full corpus of “hilkhot kodashim,” the laws of sanctity and relation to holiness (11:1-15:33).
Alternatively,
we may wish to link the “laws of tum’a and tahara” (11:1-15:33)
to the death of Nadav and Avihu in a slightly different, albeit
related fashion. At the close of the laws of permitted and forbidden animals,
section one above, the Torah teaches the following:
Va'yikrah
11:46-47 [of our Parashah] – “This is the Torah of the beasts, and of the
birds, and of every living creature… to distinguish between the unclean (tamei)
and clean (tahor), between the living things that may be eaten and the
living things that may not be eaten.”
The
phrase ‘to distinguish between the unclean and clean’ should bring to mind the
immediate aftermath of the deaths of Nadav
and Avihu. As mentioned, the Torah
follows the story of the deaths with a code of priestly conduct. The latter
part of the code consists of two imperatives:
Va'yikrah
10:10-11 – “And you must distinguish between holy and unholy and between
unclean and clean. And you must teach (lehorot) the Children of Israel
[all 12 Tribes] all the laws which HaShem has imparted to them through Moshe.”
While
these two imperatives are linguistically and conceptually distinct, they are
nevertheless practically intertwined. The priests carry a special
responsibility both for differentiating between the sacred and non-sacred,
between the tamei and the tahor, and for the teaching of those
very laws to the Children of Israel.
However
the obligation to teach and enforce the laws stems from more than just their
general Torah-teaching role. The custodians of the sanctuary and the laws of “differentiation”
cannot guarantee the integrity of the sanctuary and the sanctified status of
the sanctuary, camp and people unless the laws of sanctity are observed by all.
All
of this should explain the juxtaposing of at least section one of the larger “laws
of tum’a and tahara” with the death of Nadav and Avihu. The death serves as the occasion for
defining the role of the priests. This definition is followed by the actual
laws of "differentiation" entrusted to the priests, and for which
they bear special responsibility.
In
fact, this theme easily can be expanded to cover the remaining segments of the
laws of tum’a and tahara. Like section one, section three, the
corpus of the laws of tzara'at, ends with an echo of the priest's code
of Chapter Ten. After a summary of the various types of tzara’at
(14:44-46), the Torah states the following:
Va’yikrah
14:57 – “To teach (lehorot) when it is unclean and when it is clean,
this is the Torah of tzara'at.”
While
this verse may refer to the Torah's purpose in expounding upon the laws of tzara'at
at length, it most probably refers to the role of the priests in making the
determination as to whether a particular lesion is clean or unclean. After all,
the Torah elaborates upon this role extensively throughout the one hundred and
sixteen verses of the laws of tzara'at (13:1-14:57).
Moreover,
the linguistic parallel to the terms “teaching,” “unclean” and “clean” found in
the code of priestly conduct (10:10-11), and the apparent fusing of the
concepts into a montage of teaching, ruling and governing the arena of tum’a
and tahara, further strengthens the connections outlined above. If so,
like section one, section three provides a corpus of “differentiation laws”
that the priests are charged with guarding and teaching.
In
a similar vein, it is Aharon the priest, along with Moshe, who is charged with
“warning” the children of Israel regarding their uncleanness and the
possibility of death in section four, the laws of emissions (see 15:1, 31).
Finally, regarding section one, the laws of the postpartum women, it is the
priest who plays the key role in restoring her state of “tahara” (see
12:6-7), guides her in her passage from tamei to tahor and facilitates
her approach to the sanctuary.
In
sum, the placement of the laws of “tum'a and tahara” in the
middle of the narrative of Nadav and Avihu's death stems from more than just
the concern of both of these parts of the Torah with “hilkhot kodshim,”
the rules for the treatment of sanctity. The juxtaposition also stems from the
definition of the role of priests in the aftermath of the death of Nadav and Avihu. It stems from the overarching concern of both segments with
the role of priests, their job description and their special responsibility for
the ‘laws of differentiation.’
While
the dual theory outlined above more than handles the problem of the structure
of the middle part of Sefer [book of] Vayikra,
I would nevertheless like to try to elaborate on some additional literary and
philosophical connections between the “laws of tum’a and tahara”
and the deaths of Nadav and Avihu. Let us begin by taking a look at
the treatment given to one who manifests tzara’at upon his body.
Va'yikrah
13:45 – “And the leprous man whom the lesion is upon, his clothes shall be
rent, his head shall be left bare and he shall cover his upper lip, and shall
cry, ‘Unclean, unclean.”
The
four actions required of the “metzora,” the sufferer of tzara’at, can all be thought of as
connected to disgrace and shame. The rending of the garments and baring of his
head constitute symbols of dishevelment and disgrace, similar to the baring of
the head of the women suspected of adultery (see Bamidbar 5:18).
Similarly,
the covering of the upper lip, probably done by the garment worn upon the upper
body (see Ibn Ezra 13:45), involves the covering of the metzora’s mouth
and his silencing. Having been visited by an affliction from G-d, the metzora
stands speechless in front of divine retribution. He possesses no explanation
and no rationale for his behavior and affliction. He is like the false prophets
of Mikha 3:7 who “shall be put to
shame” and “cover their lips.” Having been afflicted by a divine plague, the metzora
can do no more than proclaim his own disgrace and utter, “Unclean, unclean.”
However,
some of these actions symbolize not just shame, disgrace and self-negation, but
also the related phenomenon of mourning. This brings us back to the deaths of Nadav and Avihu. Right after the deaths, Moshe tells Aharon, Elazar and
Itamar:
Va'yikrah
10:6 – “Do not bare your heads and do not rend your clothes, lest you die… But
your brothers, all the house of Israel shall bewail the burning that G-d has
wrought.”
Aharon
and his sons are forbidden from mourning. They cannot express their pain and
anguish nor demonstrate physically the impossibility of continuing normal
existence as if nothing has occurred. Consequently, they cannot bare their
heads nor rend their clothes. If so, the acts of the metzora resemble
acts of mourning; they resemble the response of one visited by death.
In
fact “nega,” translated
as “lesion” above, constitutes the Torah's standard term for tzara’at
affliction and appears innumerable times throughout the laws of tzara’at.
Interestingly enough, the term literally means “touch” and is used in the
contexts of Bereishit [Genesis] and Shemot [Exodus] to connote a plague from
G-d, the concrete manifestation of the metaphorical “finger” or “hand” of G-d
(see Bereishit 12:17, Shemot 11:1). Shemot 11:1 uses the phrase “od nega
echad,” one more touch/plague, to herald the plague of the firstborn, the
visitation of death upon the Egyptians. In other words, visitation by a “nega,”
the touch or hand of G-d, logically results in death.
This
connection between nega-tzara'at and death is further strengthened by
both the story of tzara’at found in Sefer Bamidbar and the phenomenology
of tzara’at. Upon speaking ill of Moshe and being chastised by G-d,
Miriam is stricken with tzara’at (Bamidbar 12:1-10). At this point,
Aharon, who had been party to the slander, beseeches Moshe not to hold a grudge
against them and to pray for Miriam's welfare.
Va'yikrah
12:11-12 – “And Aharon said to Moshe: Please my master, account not to us the
sin which we committed in our folly. Let her not be as one DEAD, who emerges
from his mother's womb with half his flesh eaten away.”
Apparently,
tzara'at symbolizes death. The appearance of tzara'at resembles
the appearance of a grisly miscarriage or stillborn baby. The death of the
flesh in tzara’at comprises a harbinger and portent of the ultimate
punishment soon to be visited upon the sinner. No wonder the metzora
responds to his tzara’at as one responds to death. In a last-ditch
effort to stave off his fate, he proactively mourns his soul and his impending
doom.
This
connection between death and tzara’at should help shed some light on the
topics contained within the latter parts of the “laws of tum'a and tahara,”
the subject matter of Parashat Tazria
and Parashat Metzora.
As
has often been pointed out, death defiles. The corpse constitutes the “father
of all tumot.” Similarly, the shadow of death, the affliction of tzara’at,
defiles. But the metzora is not the only one in these sections of the
Torah who has encountered death and had its shadow cast upon him. The people
mentioned at the end of Parashat Metzora, those suffering from emissions, have
also encountered the shadow of death. The menstruating women faces the loss of
potential life implicit in her bleeding, and zav and zava the “loss
of life” implicit in their diseases and consequent inability to procreate.
Similarly,
the postpartum woman, mentioned at the beginning of Parashat Tazria, has passed
through the harrowing and life-threatening experience of childbirth. Within her
experience of birthing life, she has encountered the shadow of death. If so, the
topics of Tazria and Metzora are united by their connection
to death and the consequence of defilement.
But
this is not all that unites the postpartum women, the metzora and the
sufferer from emissions. In general, the texts focus not just on the cause of
the defilement, but also on the process of return, the means of restoring a
state of tahara. Each parasha depicts the process of “passing through,”
not so much the encounter with death, but the return from its touch, the
approach to the sanctuary and the bringing of offerings (see 12:6-8, 14:1-20,
15:13-15, 28-30).
Putting
this all together and linking up with the story of the deaths of Nadav and Avihu yields something rather interesting. The dynamic implicit in
the legal material of Tazria and Metzora parallels the dynamic implicit
in the narrative frame of the text, the story of the death of Nadav and Avihu. From the perspective of narrative, the text is about Aharon,
a father who at his very moment of triumph has suffered a devastating loss. In
his own words: “Such things have befallen me” (10:19).
Due
to his sacred status he is even forbidden from explicit mourning (10:6-7). Yet
somehow he must pass through, he must continue through death, return to the
sanctuary and perform the divine service. Likewise and in keeping with the
implicit theme, the legal material is about “passing through death” and
approaching the sanctuary.
But
this is not all. In a striking parallel to the story of Nadav and Avihu, a story
of the “eighth day” (see 9:1, 9:23-10:2), each of these “passing through” or “purification”
passages contains a reference to a period of seven days and a climactic eighth
day. The postpartum woman who bears a male is tamei for seven days. On
the eight day her son is circumcised (12:2-3). After a seven day waiting period
outside his own tent upon his return to the camp, the metzora brings his
climactic offering, approaches the sanctuary and achieves “tahara"
on the eighth day (14:8-11). Likewise the zav and the zava count
seven days and only then, on the eighth day, bring their offerings, approach
the sanctuary and reenter a pristine and undefiled state (15:13-15, 28-30).
Is
the eighth day some sort of magic number in Sefer Vayikra? Maybe! But perhaps
there is something more here. The eighth day of the miluim ceremony was
intended to be the day of G-d's descent to the Mishkan, the day when the very
source of all being, of life itself, came and dwelt amongst the people. The
death of Nadav and Avihu on the eighth day not only
constituted a tragedy in its own right, but a staining of the essence of the
eighth day, an undercutting of the status of the Mishkan and G-d's presence. The day of G-d's arrival and His very
presence are now associated with death and mourning in the consciousness of
Israel.
Upon
the death of Korach and his cohorts,
the Children of Israel gave vent to this exact sentiment:
Bamidbar
17:27-28 – “And the Children of Israel said to Moshe: Behold we die, we perish,
we all perish! Everyone who so much ventures near the Lord's Mishkan dies.
Alas, we are doomed to perish!”
If
so, we may formulate yet one more reason for the juxtaposing of Tazria and Metzora with the story of the death of Nadav and Avihu. The “passing
through" stories of the postpartum woman, the metzora, the zav
and the zava serve as a counterweight to the death of Nadav and Avihu.
The dynamic of passing through death and returning upon the eighth day to the
sanctuary and G-d's presence, to full and pure life, reverses the linkage
between the eighth day and death in the story of Nadav and Avihu.
The
legal material reminds the Children of Israel of the ideal relation between
G-d's presence in the sanctuary and the categories of life and death. Rather
than holiness causing death, death causes distance from the presence of G-d.
The transcendence of death and affirming of life finds its concrete expression
in approaching the sanctuary and entering into G-d's presence.
May
it be the will of the Almighty that we merit to pass through the shadow of
death that hovers over us these days and return to full and holy life in the
presence of G-d."
(End of Quote)
We referred to this concept
of "The eighth Day" also in our previous Parashat Shemini, quoting
from Rabbi Tzwei, at Torah.org:
Rabbi
Tzwei – “The number eight [the title of this Parashah, named after the
introductory words of this Scripture portion] Kabbalistically refers to the “World
to Come” and therefore is used to define the events of the day of the erecting
of the Tabernacle, “bayom hashemini” [on the eighth day], for on this day a “New
World Order” was initiated.”
[We are also reminded of
this New World Order of the Kingdom of G-d in the metaphoric depiction by the
Succot Festive period, of the future Kingdom dispensation. The 7 days of
Succot (depicting the Marriage Festivities, as at Sinai, between G-d and His
Bride, are followed by “the eighth day”, the conclusion of the Torah annual
cycle with all its New World Order ‘symbolism’].

Tribers of the House of Israel to their future and Prophetic Homeland.
Where
is the moral compass in our present social culture that allows such pagan acts
of violence to become a part of American and European social culture at all? When we consider that these two continents,
North America and Europe are the homelands of the Lost Ten Tribes of the House
of Judah in Northern Europe and America plus the southern regions of Gaul
populated by the Jewish prisoners sent to Rome after the destruction of
Jerusalem and Herod’s Temple, we begin to realize that without the affirmation
and participation of the Lost Ten Tribes and the Jews, paganism would not have
survived. As the descendants of the
Patriarch Jacob, we are humbled to realize that paganism is not out there; it
is within our own hearts and culture.
To the
ancients, this satanic cult ritual required a fire offering to the fire god,
Baal, the god of the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel. Yet Baal was
worshipped by the ancient Canaanites before the Children of Israel arrived into
the Promised Land. It was the Canaanites that were worshipping the god of Baal
that the G-d of Israel eventually drove them out of the “Land” or as the sacred
texts state; “disgorged the Canaanites from the Holy Land”.
The
worship of Baal underwent many transformations over the centuries. We find it
in the worship of the ancient Sumerian god called Enlil, later it became
identified with the “fires of Molech” and Marduk as from one civilization to
another it spread across the Middle East first as the sun god, and later known
as the god of fertility. The rituals used within all of these cultures carried
the same theme; an intense focus on the spring vernal equinox of the sun that
was seen as a time of rebirth. Always, this involved human sacrifice as
described in the Encyclopedia Mythica, under the title of “Baal”:
Encyclopedia Mythica
– “The Cult of Baal celebrated annually his death and resurrection as part of
the Canaanite fertility cult rituals. These ceremonies often included human
sacrifice and temple prostitution.”
The G-d
of Israel continued to warn his chosen people, but the Baal worship cult’s
tentacles had buried themselves deeply into the culture of the Lost Ten Tribes
of the House of Israel. It resurrected itself as “Druidism” noted in the 1st
century BCE writings of Julius Caesar when he tried, but failed to take military
control of the Isle of Britannia. Druidism with the Lost Ten Tribes of the
House of Israel was written vividly by BibleSearchers Reflections in the
article titled, “The Jewish Nazarene Culdee Yeshiva and the British Cymric
Druids.” As the
Encyclopedia Mythica further describes:
Encyclopedia Mythica
– “The religion of the god Baal was
widely accepted among the ancient Jews. Although it was put down at times, it
was never permanently stamped out. Kings and other royalty of the ten Biblical
tribes worshiped the god. The ordinary people ardently worshiped this sun god
too because their prosperity depended on the productivity of their crops and
livestock. The god’s images were erected on many buildings. Within the religion
there appeared to be numerous priests and various classes of devotees. During
the ceremonies they wore appropriate robes. The ceremonies included burning
incense, and offering burnt sacrifices, occasionally consisting of human
victims. The officiating priests danced around the altars, chanting frantically
and cutting themselves with knives to inspire the attention and compassion of
the god.”
From the ancient Phoenician
civilization of the Middle-East, the homeland of the Princess of Phoenicia,
Jezebel came the origins of the Mystery religions that cast its spell all over
the entire Levant. It was found in the
ancient Babylonian religion, and later in Persia with the rise of
Zoroastrianism. It was imbedded in the
ancient religion of Mithraism that had such a large impact with the rise of the
ascendency of the Roman Christian Church and today is imbedded within its apostate
cultic worship today. This was described graphically in BibleSearchers
Reflection article titled, “Cardinal
Ratzinger and the Rise of the Black Internationale”.
But the trail of Baal worship, we
have to admit closely followed the migration of the Lost Ten Tribes of the
House of Israel as they migrated from the lands of their exile in Northern
Khurasan (Northern Iran, Eastern Afghanistan and Western Pakistan) to the “land
of their present dwelling.” It included the “golden calf” worshipping Danites and
later the Scythians
of the North that traveled over the Black Sea and settled in the mountainous
regions of Southern Russia until they finally settled in the sparsely inhabited
regions of Northern Gaul called Scandinavia.
With the Lost Tribes came also the
cult of Baal. It was the Celts who observed rituals of Beltane (Baal) rituals
on May 1st that were all grounded in the occult concepts of
numerology; the knowledge of Magick.
Though the rituals of Baal appear to be different, according to anthropologists,
they all carried the same theme of numerology, fire and sacrifice.
Today’s political elite still
observe these cultic rites, but with one major difference; the rituals are now
carried out on innocent and unsuspecting civilians such as the Boston Marathon
in 2013, and transmitted across the world through the international mass media.
The masses watch with fear as the fire ritualistic events are broadcasted to the
progressively fearful and traumatically stressed populations.
One of the most famous of today’s culture
of Baal and Molech rituals is imbedded in the annual spring rituals of the
elite that is hosted in the famous redwood groves of California called the Bohemian
Grove. This grove is most
famously remembered as the cultic meeting place where the famous Manhattan Project was conceived in
September, 1942.
It was here that Ernest Lawrence, the
famous American physicist who developed the electromagnetic
separation method that allowed
scientists to enrich uranium by increasing its percentage of fissile U-235, met with
officers of the American military,
the president of Harvard University, plus representatives of Standard Oil and General Electric at the
Bohemian Grove. This led to the production of
the atomic bomb by the United States.
The Manhattan Project gave to the
world the ultimate “fiery sacrifice to Molech” when American airmen dropped Little Boy on the
city of Hiroshima on 6 August 1945, followed by Fat Man over Nagasaki on 9
August. When we look at the roles of the “fiery sacrifice” with Adolf Hitler and World War II, we have to also see this in the
perspective of Hitler and his cousins in the royal families of Europe in Great Britain and the
Netherlands that were allied and associated with the Rothschilds. Only then can we
begin to comprehend the horrendous implication of the ancient worship of Baal
and Molech by the descendants of the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel in this
one epic war called World War II (1939 to 1945). With its targeted annihilation
of the Jewish people in Europe, in what was called the “Final Solution”, this “fiery
sacrifice to Molech” engulfed the whole earth when 100 million military personnel
participated in military units from over 30 different countries that
selectively sacrificed the lives of 6 million Jews and between 50 to 75 million
other peoples, all to the satanic powers of Molech.
It also gave the world human family
that epic era of the fear of a global nuclear annihilation called the Cold War.
Let us not forget that this war was a war of brotherhood, between the Lost Ten
Tribes of the House of Israel living in America and Europe against the Red
Communists countries of Russia and China national revolutions were created by
the Jewish revolutionaries of Karl Marx, Lenin, Trotsky, and possibly Mao Tsetung.
Even the world of Ishmaelites is not immune for Benjamin Fulford called the
Saudi royal family as a “crypto-Jewish
Saudi regime:
Benjamin Fulford – “The
world’s military and intelligence community has finally figured out that
“Islamic fundamentalist terror” is run by Zionists and not Muslims. The
crypto-Jewish Saudi regime is also now under severe attack for its role in
financing mayhem and murder. All male descendants of the Original Saudi King
will be targeted for assassination if they do not cease and desist immediately,
according to several different secret societies, including the Green dragon.”
What Fulford is hinting to is the
secret ancestral genealogy of the Saudi Royal Family who trace their ancestry
not back to the family of Muhammad but rather to an Iraqi Jewish cereal
merchant by the name of Mordakhai
bin Ibrahim bin Moshe in the city of Basra. It was in the year of 851 A.H.
a caravan of Arabian merchants from Najd, from the Al Masaleekh Clan traveled
to Basra to purchase wheat, corn and other food supplies to transport back to
Najd.
They were enticed to take this
“Hidden Jew” back to Arabian Peninsula with them who fabricated his own
ancestral ties to the Al Masaleekh Clan also and later changed his name to Markan
bin Dir'iya near Al-Qateef. Today, the Saudi royal family are recognized officially
as part of the lineage of their Prophet Muhammad by a genealogical family tree
put together by Mohammad Amin Al
Tamimi- Director/Manager of the contemporary Libraries of the Saudi Kingdom and
paid 35 thousand Egyptian pounds by the Saudi Ambassador to Cairo in 1943; Ambassador
Ibrahim Al-Fadel to solidify the Saudi-Muhammed ancestral ties.
The
ancient biblical texts in the TaNaKh, depicts vividly the pagan ties to the god
of Molech to the rebellious Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel and their
brothers, the Jews of the Southern Kingdom of Judah. This intimacy with
paganism earned them the condemnation of the G-d of Israel for their offering
up even their won children to the fiery sacrificial offerings to Molech. This
led to the exile
of the Ten Northern Tribes of the House of Israel and later the destruction of Jerusalem
and the famous King Solomon’s Temple by the
Babylonians.
Jeremiah
7:28-34 – “The people of Judah have done evil in my eyes, declares HaShem. They
have set up their detestable idols in the house that bears my Name (Temple of
Solomon) and have defiled it. They have built the high places of Topheth in the
Valley of Ben Hinnom to burn their sons and daughters in the fire (of Molech) -
something I did not command, nor did it enter my mind.
So
beware, the days are coming, declares HaShem, when people will no longer call
it Topheth or the Valley of Ben Hinnom, but the Valley of Slaughter, for they
will bury the dead in Topheth until there is no more room. Then the carcasses
of this people will become food for the birds and the wild animals, and there
will be no one to frighten them away.
I
will bring an end to the sounds of joy and gladness and to the voices of bride
and bridegroom in the towns of Judah and the streets of Jerusalem, for the land
will become desolate.”
Yet,
this was not just a Jewish problem, but also chronic rebellion by both the Northern
Ten Tribes of the Northern Kingdom of Israel and the Jewish people of
the Southern Kingdom of Judah:
Jeremiah 32:26-35 –
“The the word of HaShem came to Jeremiah, saying: ‘Behold! I am HaShem, the G-d
of all flesh; can anything be hidden from Me? Therefore, thus said HaShem:
Behold, I am delivering this city into the hand of the Chaldeans and into the
hand of Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylonia, and he will capture it; and the
Chaldeans who are attacking his city will come and ignite this city with fire
and burn it down, along with the houses upon whose roofs the people used to
burn incense to Baal and pour out libations to the gods of theirs, in order to
anger Me.
For the Children
of Israel and the Children of Judah have been doing only what is
wrong in My eyes since their youth; for the Children of Israel only anger Me with their handiwork – the word of
Hashem. For this city has aroused My anger and My wrath in Me from the day that
they built it until this day, so that I should remove it from My presence,
because of all the evil of the Children of Israel and the Children of Judah
that they committed to anger Me – they and their kings and their officers,
their priests and their prophets and the People of Judah and the inhabitants
of Jerusalem.
To Me they turned
their back and not their face, and, though I taught, arising early and
teaching, they do not listen to accept rebuke.
They place their detestation into the Temple, upon which My Name is
proclaimed, to contaminate it; and they built the high places of the Baal that
are in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, at which to pass their sons and their
daughters to the Molech – which I never commanded them, nor did I ever
contemplate performing this abomination – in order to cause Judah to sin.’”
Yet,
this same god was known in ancient history as Nimrod the Sun god. It was King
Nimrod who offered Abraham and his brother Haran as a ritual offering
during the era of the Sumerian dynasty of Nimrod. Molech later became the Roman
god, Saturn (Saturn/Devil) whom the ancient Edomites of Vatican Rome worshipped
then and today.
As
reported in the last papal prediction according to the Prophecy
of St. Malachy, we can now better
understood meaning of the cryptic sayings concerning Vatican Rome’s last
prophesied pope, “Peter the Roman”, who was recently nominated in the
papal conclave as Pope Francis I. This prophecy speaks on how Pope Francis I as
“Petrus Romanus” and his flock, the Roman Catholic Church, will witness the
destruction of the “city that sits on seven hills”; Rome. Will it also be consumed in a fiery
conflagration?
Prophecy of St.
Malachi on the Last Pope, Peter the Roman –
“During the final
persecution of the Roman Christian Church, one called “Petrus Romanus will
reign (Peter the Roman), who will nourish his believers in many sufferings.
After that, the town of the seven hills will be destroyed and the
dreaded judge will sentence his people. The End!”
Yet it
is even more difficult to believe the evil and corruption that permeates Planet
Earth and the moral compass whose gyroscope has gone totally out of control as
continues to careen towards its final destruction. The sinister evil imbedded into the entire
religious matrix of Molech idolatry was not limited to either the Lost Ten
Tribes of the House of Israel with their Baal worship or war and fiery destruction, but is also alive and well in the Vatican, the
house of the royal families of Europe, and the higher levels of our governments today.
The
Jewish sages were very clear as to the destruction that the Canaanite idolatry
of Molech would do to the national culture of Judaism. Of interest, in the Book
of Leviticus in which we read of the strange fire and evil of Molech, we read:
Leviticus 18:21 –
“You shall not present any of your children to pass through for Molech, and do
not profane the Name of your G-d – I am HaShem.
It is
of interest that the sin of participating in the cult of Molech was the only
sin in this chapter that did not involve a form of sexual conduct. Yet, like immorality, to participate in its
activity contaminated the Land of Israel. Since the Land of Israel was holy, if
in any way your life and conduct profaned the sanctity of the “Land” it would
lead to your death, expulsion, or excommunication from the land. This is why
the Canaanites were expelled from “Land” or as the biblical text states; “The
Land became contaminated and I recalled its iniquity upon it; and the Land
disgorged its inhabitants (Canaanites).”
This
fact alone should give pause to any Arab Ishmaelite or the Arab Palestinians,
who want to believe that they are the ancient Canaanites, and therefore have
rights to live, own, and expel the Jewish people from the Land of Israel. The
“Land” disgorged” them and they became non-peoples in both the ancient and
modern world.
This
speaks volumes as to the fact that Orthodox Judaism is today a “culture of
life” and Islam is a “culture of death”. Involving one’s life in the culture of
Molech deprived them of their holiness, for in their holiness, they were
regarded as G-d’s temple and by refusing to participate in idolatry they also
sanctified themselves and by sanctifying themselves and avoiding evil, the
Divine One would also assist them in cleansing his own thoughts.
For a
person to offer their children’s lives to the fires of Molech was no difference
than parents who offer their children as suicide bombers to kill and destroy
other people. They refuse to believe in the sanctity of human life, and that
there is no greater mitzvah than to save a life. Islamic martyrs in the context
of Molech would rather destroy other people’s lives as the greatest blessing to
them to offer their sacrifice to Allah. In contrast, Jewish martyrs are
defenders of the Holy Name of G-d and the high and elevated state of Torah
righteousness.
Yet,
this was not just a Jewish or Islamic opposition of the worlds in which they
live, but the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel are today having to
account to the G-d of Israel to whom will they serve. For 3,700 years they have
lost their own identity, and it has taken the Jewish historians to uncover the
truth, that they are alive and well, hundreds of millions of them. The time for
their reclamation, redemption and restoration back into the House of Israel has
come.
Yet we
have to ponder, why is the United States government, representing the Lost
Tribe of Manasseh of the House of Joseph, today involved in a well orchestrated
“Blood Sacrifice to the Beast”? Is it a
coincidence that almost seventy years after the Nazi Storm Troopers annihilated
Jewish Resistant Fighter in the storm drains of Warsaw, Poland, the Boston
Marathon Massacre occurred?
Why was
the United States government involved when a Christian sect called the Branch
Davidians, living in a commune called Mount Carmel Center Ranch about nine
miles from Waco, Texas were raided by agents of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco
and Firearms (ATF). A gun battle broke
out that killed four ATF agents. When the ATF failed to raid the compound, the
FBI set a siege that ended in a standoff lasting 51 days.
What is
most interesting is that the American president at that time was William “Bill”
Jefferson Clinton, known in covert Jewish circles as the Rothschild designated,
“Royal Boy Chosen”. He
was purported to become their messiah for their One World Federation. Here the
battles between a chosen royal heir for the New World Order and the Christian
country of American which he governed gives us a new significance; for both are
steeped in the occult world of satanic rituals.
So
under the order of President Clinton’s U.S. Attorney General, Janet Reno, the
FBI launched a raid that ended in a “fiery conflagration” that incinerated 83
men, women and children during what is known as the Waco
Siege of the Branch Davidians; a
Seventh-day Sabbath keeping Adventist messianic cult who were waiting the
coming of the Christian messiah?
When it
comes to premonition, was it a coincidence that one month before the Boston
Marathon, a popular American adult cartoon show titled Family Guy showed
a cartoon that appeared to predict many aspects of the Boston Marathon attack?
The main cartoon character of the show detonated two bombs and then went on to
win the marathon by killing the rest of the participants.
In
another episode titled, Turban
Cowboy, the main character
was called Peter, who allied himself with a terrorist who planned to blow up
numerous bridges in Boston. This was showed on Fox network and repeated for
several days. Here the images of the “fiery sacrifice” the involved hundreds of
Boston Marathon runners, bystanders and well-wishers graphically depicted the
same blood, scattered limbs in a chilling episode of carnage, blood and mayhem.
Yet, the amoral social culture in American watched with no reservations these
same scenes in cartoon form before the actual Boston Marathon. Yet, we wonder
why were they shocked when they witnessed them again but now in living reality.
As reported on “What does it Mean”, reported to be a U.S. Navy disinformation site,
reported the following:
What does it Mean – “The
numerological aspect relating to this Family Guy “predictive warning,” this report continues, lies in it being the
15th episode of this programme during its 11th
season…which coincides with this attack occurring on the 15th, which
is exactly 11 years since the Boston Marathon was run on the 15th of
the month. Also to be noted, this report
says, is the “blood symbology” of the
Boston Marathon route being 26.2 miles from start to finish, which,
coincidentally, matches the death toll of the 14 December 2012 Sandy Hook Massacre where
26 innocent victims were gunned down.”
Yet,
this is not much different than the same type of “fictional pre-warnings” that
were aired in American TV on March 4, 2001 that was titled the Lone
Gunman. Included in this
television drama, the World Trade Center in New York City was targeted by
remote controlled passenger jets and then, 6 months later on September 11, 2001
hundreds of millions of people worldwide witnessed the fiery inferno of the
Twin Towers in New York crumbling to the ground when 2,985 people died.
For the
remainder of the week, for 102 intense hours of media coverage, the world was
transfixed in its absorption of the aftermath of the Boston Marathon Bombings.
The focus of attention drew in a vast array of FBI and counter-intelligence
reports centered on two young men, culled out of hundreds of people walking the
sidewalks near the finish line of the Boston Marathon who left-behind upon
which left the bloody remains of three dead, 180 injured, and a police officer
killed in a fiery exchange of gunfire at MIT.
It
would be hours later before the young Dzhokhar
Tsarnaev was found hiding in a tarp-covered boat in Watertown, Massachusetts
while the entire town was covered with fear that a murderer was stalking in
their neighborhood.
The
uneasy settling of the events in mid-April 2013 appears may have forever
changed the psychic of Americans. Added to 911 twin towers destruction, the “innocence”
of Americans is now gone. With the addition of the prophetic implications of
these events, a larger global and universal significance is now on the horizon.
Do we have any clue of the apocalyptic chaos that is ahead in our lives?
The
legacy of death and destruction to the human race appears to lay with the fires
of Molech. If Satan can get man to destroy himself, why is there a need for a
messiah or salvation from the G-d of Creation? By destroying man’s respect for
one another, that you would even give up your children to death, you also
destroy the “image of G-d” in which each of us were created to be; the
reflection of the divine archetype of life, love, and righteousness that we are
privileged to pass it on to the next of our generations.
Destination Yisra’el
– “…G-d permitted
meat-eating after the flood. Before the flood, the world had been “filled with
violence”. Perhaps violence is an inherent part of human nature. If
there were to be any humanity at all, G-d would have to lower his demands of mankind.
Let them kill animals, He said, rather than kill human beings – the one form
of life that is not only G-d’s creation but also G-d’s image…
Noah
offers an animal sacrifice in thanksgiving for having survived the flood. G-d
sees that human beings need this way of expressing themselves. They are
genetically predisposed to violence (“every inclination of his heart is
evil from childhood”). If, therefore, society is to survive, human beings
need to be able to direct their violence toward non-human animals, whether
as food or sacrificial offering. The crucial ethical line to be drawn is
between human and non-human.
The permission to kill animals is accompanied by an
absolute prohibition against killing human beings (“for in the image
of G-d, has G-d made man”. It is not that G-d approves of killing animals,
whether for sacrifice or food, but that to forbid this to human beings, given
their genetic predisposition to violence, is utopian. It is not for now but for
the end of days.
In
the meanwhile, the least bad solution is to let people kill animals rather
than murder their fellow humans. Animal sacrifices are a concession to
human nature (on why G-d never chooses to change human nature, see Maimonides,
Guide for the Perplexed, Book III, ch. 32). Sacrifices are a substitute for
violence directed against mankind.”
So the
ancient prophecy to the Orthodox Jewish Nazarene Christians appears to be in
the process of being fulfilled in front of our eyes, that at the time of the
end, the Red Marxist, Leninist, Communist, Islamic legacies would begin the
self-destruction of all social cultures on Planet Earth. This “Culture of
Death” was left behind by Genghis
Khan and Tamerlane
the “Scourge of God” that there would be at the “end of days” a Red Horse
and Rider carrying a Great Sword. He did not use the “great sword” to kill
the populations of the world, but that “all men would kill one another.”
With the
uneasy settling of the events in mid-April 2013, the Boston Marathon Massacre appears
may have forever changed the psychic of Americans. Added to 911
twin towers destruction, the “innocence” of
Americans is now gone. With the addition of the prophetic implications of these
events, a larger global and universal significance is now on the horizon.
As
written so eloquently in the fast selling book written by Rabbi Jonathan Cahn
from New York, titled, “The
Harbinger”, associating the birth
of America with the apostasy of its forefathers, the Lost Ten Tribes of the
House of Israel and their Jewish Illuminate Masonic heritage, it appears that
the fateful future of America will be one of political decline and destruction.
That finger of the Divine was part of
the America’s great heritage is a “given”. For all those who accept that the
G-d of Israel is also the King of the Universe, then we also will accept that
He is the One who gives life and gives death. He is the one who plants and also
uproots.
By
paralleling the rise of America with the rise of the apostate Northern Ten
Tribes of Israel suggests that like Adam and Eve, the Lost Tribes of Israel,
and the exile of the Jews from the Land of Israel after the fall of Jerusalem
in 70 CE, that with every “fall” or “exile” there is a “restoration” and
redemption”. The curse and expulsion of
the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel came from their rebellion and
apostasy, so also America will not be able to redeem itself. It will take the
G-d of Israel, who created life, and gives redemption to be the Divine One to heal
us from our pride, our arrogance, and our self-righteousness.
The
self destruction of the fires of Molech come upon the special chosen ones, who
lost respect for their divine imprint that made them so unique above all other
creation. Yet, it was the G-d of Israel who said to the House of Israel and the
House of Judah, that:
2 Chronicles 7:14 –
“If my people, who are called by my name, will humble
themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I
will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their
land."
America
will not be saved from herself, but Americans as well as any other peoples or
nationalities, who accept returning back harmony and fellowship with the Jewish
people and the Lost Children of Israel, and be willing to live by the precepts
of the Torah contained in the Hebrew-Judaic faith given to the Children of
Israel at the mount called Sinai, will be saved.
Christians
will not be saved of themselves for soon all institutional religions will be
destroyed except those who “keep the commands (mitzvoths” of G-d”, that were
given from the mount called Sinai, and have the “faith” not “in Jesus (Yahshua)”
but the “faith of Yahshua” who himself was a Hasidic Orthodox Jewish rabbi, a
prince of David, who lived his life above and beyond the letter of Torah law. This
is the same faith and the same Torah that is followed today by every Orthodox
Jew around the world.

In the world of sin,
after the expulsion of Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden, the cyclical
process of “Eden Lost and Eden Restored”, “Expulsion and Restoration” is as
much a part of the cycles of life as the cyclical wave patterns of the photons
of light in which we see, and the wave patterns of sound in which we hear. The
one long exile of the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel and two exiles of
the House of Judah are all part of G-d’s Divine Plan of redemption and
restoration of His chosen people.
These real spiritual
imageries that have affected the lives of the House of Israel, and also the
House of Judah, will also become part of the pathway of the redemption of the
descendants Isaac’s brother, Ishmael. What we are seeing today is the last
dramatic act of the Drama of the Ages that will bring “salvation” to all that
are “safe to save” to live in the “world to come.”

It was
on March, 1770 the British troops that were assigned to protect the English colonial
officers stationed in the city of Boston, the capital of the Province of
Massachusetts Bay were surrounded by a “mob” of colonists protesting the
harassment and abuses of the English government. They began to throw rocks at the
soldiers. Return fire by the English military forces on the Bostonians would
later be called the “Incident on King Street” killed three Bostonian men
and injuring others in which two later died. In history this event was known as
the Boston Massacre.
There
was not singular event that consolidated within the English “Lost Israelite settler’s”
minds the concept of revolution that lived in the 13 Original Colonies along the Eastern Atlantic
Seaboard of North American. These 13 states in the minds of the American
Forefathers represented the 12 Tribes of Israel plus the 13th tribe
for Manasseh, the double portion blessing given to Joseph (Yosef) from our
Patriarch Jacob (Yakov). Out of the aspiration of these colonists, independence,
freedom of speech and religion would become their primary aspirations.
The
“Incident of King Street” eventually erupted into the American Revolutionary War (1776-1783) and the Declaration of Independence adopted
by the Continental Congress on July 4, 1776. This violent conflict would not be settled between the
American colonists and the British Empire until Great Britain and their Indian
allies lost the 32 month War of
1812.
What is
now known in history is that the American Revolution plus the French Revolution came from
the loins of the British and Scottish Freemasons. These 17th and 18th century revolutionaries,
now known in part as the American Founding Fathers, were adepts of the Jesuit
Jew Adam Weishaupt, the founder of the Bavarian Illuminati, Rabbi Jacob Frank
(Yakov ben Judah Leib Frankovich) whose followers were called the “Frankists”,
the Shabbatian protégé of Shabbatai Tzevi, with the money of the patron father
of the Rothschild Banking Dynasty, Amschel Mayer Rothschild.
Two hundred and forty
three years later, on April 15, 2013 the most American iconic event in the
United States, the Boston Marathon, came to a catastrophic end in what is now
called the Second Bostonian Massacre. Here ended the 117th edition
of the Boston Athletic Association’s mass-participation marathon when out of
25,000 runners that participated, Lelisa Desisa from
Ethiopia won the men’s division with the time of 2:10:22 and Rita Jeptoo from
Kenya won the women’s division with the time of
2:26:25.
Twenty
five minutes later at 2:50 pm EDT when the race time clock was at 4:09.43,
slightly more than two hours after the winners had completed the race, two
large explosions occurred near the finish line. The Boston Marathon was
disrupted by the two explosions alongside the sidewalks near the finish line
about fifty meters apart.
According to the press releases, three were reportedly killed, and at least 282 people
injured. Amongst the injured were at least 15 people whose lower limbs were mangled
so significantly that they had to be amputated. The race was halted after the
explosions went off.
Soon after a third explosion at Boston’s John F.
Kennedy Library, owned by the US National Archives, started. The fire was quickly
denied by authorities as a fire in the mechanical room that was quickly extinguished,
yet a JFK Library employee, Paul Yazbeck reported to the news that it was “definitely an explosion.”
With now some somber retrospection on the
Marathon explosions and the events that followed over the next four days, the
world was in rapt horror as one of the largest manhunts in the United States
history was unfolding. It was revealed that the “bombs” were made from pressure
cookers packed with ball bearings and nails. With more than 1,000 law
enforcement officers from 30 state and federal agencies, the manhunt began for
the worst terrorist attack on American soil since September 11, 2011.
The
dead were early identified as an eight year old boy, Martin Richard from
Boston’s Dorchester neighborhood, Krystal Campbell, 29, who was waiting at the
finish line for her boyfriend to finish the race plus a Chinese citizen, whose
name was withheld by the request of the family through the Chinese consulate in
New York. The power of the blasts were massive as blast debris were discovered
later on nearby rooftops and embedded within the walls of the buildings.
Just
before the race, Boston Marathon runner, Alastair Stevenson reported that there were bomb squads, including bomb
sniffing dogs were seen patrolling the region just prior to the race. He stated that one police officer what was
happening, and reported that it was just a “training exercise”. This led this runner to believe that the
police were aware of a prior threat at the Marathon.
Unbeknowns to most Americans because of the
intense world attention that was still focused on the Boston Marathon massacre,
another fiery inferno occurred in a small isolated Texas town of West, near the
city of Waco. In the midst of the night a fiery conflagration began at the West
Fertilizer Plant. This fire continued to erupt throughout the day, yet with the
whistling sounds of a possible missile attack, suddenly a violent explosion
erupted and set off a 2.1 magnitude earthquake that was felt a hundred miles
away.
Of interest this explosion came only two days
after the Boston Marathon and only two days before one of the most formidable
and potent occult days of the year, on April 19, 2013 called the “Blood
Sacrifices to the Beast”. Unknown to most Americans, just about
fifteen miles to the west from the West Fertilizer Plant, as a crow flies, was the private ranch of former President George
W. Bush in Crawford, Texas. Nearby also was a huge munitions bunker that is
located there to protect the former president and his estate.
The international new media virtually
neglected this fiery conflagration that consumed left 15 dead and over 200
injured, plus the lives of 4 fire fighters seeking to find and save people. Also over 150 homes and businesses were
heavily damaged in West with over $100 Million estimated in damages.
While the international speculations were
rife on who caused the Boston explosion, the same international press was
virtually quiescent about the news that the fiery conflagration at the
fertilized plant that could have been targeted by a missile, a flying projective or
a drone strike that left a crater in the midst of the factory about ninety feet
across.
So we ask, who fired the missiles and what was its purpose to strike an isolated fertilizer plant? Few even considered that this fertilizer plant explosion may have also been linked to the Boston Marathon massacre until Benjamin Fulford wrote this on his weekly blog titled, “Three more major Terrorist Incidents threatened after Boston and Texas.”
Benjamin
Fulford – “A member of the Japanese Yakuza was contacted by members
of the cabal (Rothschilds) last week and told to inform the White Dragon
Society that “after Kennedy and Bush would come Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton and
one other.” Since the Boston terror psy-ops included a bombing of the
Kennedy Library and the missile attack in Texas took place close to
the Bush ranch, the warning seems to be a hint that some major attacks linked
to these two other presidents and “one other,” were planned for the near
future.
Somebody has also placed a $1 billion bet on a major US
stock market plunge this week in what may be a sign of foreknowledge of further
major terrorist events, according to an MI5 source.
There is also evidence of a huge information war between
two major factions in the US over the bombing attacks in Texas and Boston. The
Department of Homeland Security (SS) Sabbatean mafia faction staged the Boston
attack in an attempt to create a psychological atmosphere favorable to martial
law, while the opposition inside the agencies clearly tried to sabotage this
attack and make it clear to all this was government staged…
In the US, the cabal corporate propaganda machine was
clearly dealt a vicious blow by the insider sabotage of the Boston bomb attack
psychological warfare operation. In one example directly known to this writer,
the MI6 operative “Alexander” called the Australian embassy in Tokyo one hour
before the Boston attack and warned them it was coming in a call that must have
been recorded as forensic evidence.
There was also a press conference for the corporate media
where it was to be announced that a single white male right-winger had been
arrested for carrying out the attack, according to pentagon sources. However,
when it became clear the scenario for this lone bomber had been leaked in
advance, a last minute switch was made to “Chechens.” In any case, so many
people have torn holes into the “official” story that there is no need to
repeat that here.
Rather, we need to realize the sabotage of the operation
means very powerful groups within the intelligence/military community are now
fighting against the cabal by sabotaging their psy-ops “events” like Sandy Hook
and now Boston. The sending of letters containing the poison Ricin to
politicians including Obama, is eerily similar to the sending of anthrax
letters after 911 and is probably also aimed at exposing the cabal by carrying
out obvious acts like this.
In addition to this, we have seen the huge downplaying by
the Sabbatean cabal corporate media of what was clearly a missile attack in
Texas very close to the Bush ranch there. This may have been intended to take
out a Bush military munitions dump, an MI5 source speculated.
There is clearly more in the works. The phone call I received immediately after the attacks warning about future attacks linked to Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton need to be taken seriously. The aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan was in Hong Kong when this warning was issued and relevant parties were warned of a possible attack against it. An earthquake in California is another possibility. Places associated with the Clintons include Georgetown University and Little Rock, Arkansas.”

Consider
the following facts known to date
concerning the West Fertilizer Factory:
The West Fertilized
Company reputedly stored over 270 tons of ammonium nitrate, the same substance
that Tim McVeigh used to blow up the Alfred P. Murrah federal building in
Oklahoma City on April 19, 1995. This Oklahoma bombing was only the small
amount McVeigh could store in his Ryder truck bomb, yet the fertilizer storage is
over 1350 times the amount that would require the oversight investigation of the Department of
Homeland Security. Yet, there were investigations
but not concerning the ammonium nitrate.
In 2007, a class
action lawsuit was filed against the Monsanto Company by The West Fertilize
Company for artificially setting prices for the week killer, Roundup. This set
up strained relations between West Fertilized and Monsanto, who had been
conducting business relations with each other for over ten years. Yet, five
years later a district judge has still refused to certify this case to go to
court. According to an analysis by a recent Wall Street Journal article analyzing the court records, over 30 lawyers and 12
firms were involved in this case. Yet, there was also a warehouse own by
Monsanto that was also storing ammonium nitrate on the same grounds.
Monsanto has today in
many people’s minds become the paradigm of evil, in their manufacturing of Agent Orange that
destroyed so many Vietnamese lives during the Viet Nam war. Yet the curse of
Agent Orange is still ravaging the lives of our American veterans who lived
through curse of this weapon of mass destruction. Of interest is the fact that
a Monsanto plant was destroyed also in West, Texas.
Yet Monsanto is
especially known for its hybrid genetically modified agricultural seeds such as
Roundup Ready alfalfa, canola, cotton with Bt, sorghum hybrids, sugar beets and
a whole array of genetically modified wheat. It was they, who forced all the
wheat farmers tilling the farms in Iraq, to turn over their seed grain, that
had been used since the beginning of time in the Tigris and Euphrates River
Valley, and to purchase Monsanto wheat, and the world may have lost one in the
coming apocalypse one of his most valued seed stock.
A “huge” emergency
preparedness drill was being prepared at the North Hills Hospital, a one hour
drive from the plant, at the time of the plant explosion just like the
government initiated drill was occurring at Boston.
Just like the Boston
Marathon massacre, a large number of FEMA trucks were spotted in the nearby
Waco, Texas region just before the explosion.
According to numerous
videos of the explosion, a fire was started first on the main fertilized
factory and then a streak of fire, a gigantic blast that cause also a 2.1
magnitude earthquake that was felt a hundred miles away exploded later.
Does
the linking of these three dates to the human sacrifices that occurred near the
powerful occult date of April 19 give us pause to consider the affect of the
cosmic war in the heavens as the forces of darkness led by the archangel of
death, HaSatan against the forces of light? Are we afraid to ask, what is the
significance and affect of the angelic wars in the second ‘spiritual’ heaven to
our lives today on Planet Earth? As the forces of the Divine gain ascendency
over the Satanic forces of darkness, can we once again witness that ancient
connect between heaven and earth coming back into living and literal reality;
Earthly Garden of Eden – Heavenly Garden of Eden, Heavenly Temple – Earthly
Temple in Heaven, and now the Wars in Heaven and the Wars on Planet Earth?
Concerning
the significance of the Massacre of the Branch Davidians, the Boston Massacre,
and the West, Texas Fertilizer Plant explosion with the beginning of the Shoah
(Jewish Holocaust) with the final extermination of the Jewish resistance in the
Jewish Ghetto in Warsaw, Poland, let us look at the links between these four
events. They include the following:
April 19, 1943 at Warsaw, Poland when the Holocaust that
began in the Jewish Warsaw Ghetto ended in that city when the last of the
Jewish people who had not already been
taken by train to the concentration camps for their annihilation in the gas
chambers died in a fiery inferno in the storm drains of that city.
April 19, 1993 near Waco, Texas – Now fifty years
later, the Branch Davidians were cremated in a fiery inferno that resulted
in the loss of 83 lives; and now seventy years after Warsaw and twenty
years after the Branch Davidians were sacrificed, two more fiery infernos
occurred:
April 15, 2013, when two pressure cooker
remote-controlled bombs went off near the finishing line of the Boston Marathon
that resulted in 3 deaths, over 140 injured and more than 14 who lost their
lower limbs. This catastrophe was followed two days later days later; on
April 17, 2013, when a purported missile, flying
projectile or a drone strike was fired at the West Fertilized Plant, nearby to
the Bush family ranch in Crawford, Texas with fifteen dead, four fire fighter
lost their lives, and the remains of a 100 foot wide crater that was ten feet
deep is that legacy of a potential missile strike who purpose was still
unknown.
Within
the framework of Satan’s emissaries of evil on Planet Earth, representing the
dark forces evil, we must always be cognizant of the ancient satanic (pagan) rituals
that were centered on numerous days of the ancient calendar year. One of the most noted was the 13 week Spring
Equinox time period called in the satanic calendars; “minor Sabbaths”.
One of
the most potent of dates in the year is the period of time surrounding the date
of April 19 all the way to May 1 (May Day) which was called the “Blood
Sacrifices to the Beast”. This period
of time there would occur a “fire sacrifice” that would occur near or on the
date of the 19th of April. Let us look at a series of these dates as
noted in American and World history that occurred near or on the date of April
19. These dates were first analyzed in BibleSearchers Reflections in 2005 in
the article titled, “Cardinal Ratzinger and the Rise of the Black
Internationale” and now updated and
expanded for this article:
Video Clip of Second Explosion at the West Fertilizer Plant
There are 3 versions of the same
shot in this clip. The first clip is "as-is" from the original video
I received. The second segment is slowed down 90%. The third version is slowed
down 98% (be patient when watching. It is moving).... One person asked,
"Is this a missile coming in from the top left?" Does the explosion
blow through the building and move from left to right?
Important Dates in History to the “Blood Sacrifices to the Beast” near to the Date of April 19
April 19, 1775 - The Masonic-led Revolutionary War was precipitated by the Battle of Lexington and
Concord when British garrison troops were ambushed by armed revolutionary
colonists in Lexington’s town square and remembered as the “shot that was heard
around the world.”
April 19, 1871 – The Declaration
of the Commune of Paris started with an initiative on March 18, 1871 in the wake
of the defeat of France in the Franco-Prussian War. It became known as the Fourth
French Revolution. This communal
revolution ended the era of “old governments, militarism, officialism, the exploitation, agitation, the
monopolies, of the privileges, to which the proletariat owes its serfdom, the
fatherland its misfortunes and its disasters.” The assault upon the Commune of
Paris by the government forces called the Versailles, became known as the “The
Bloody Week” of La Semaine Sanglante.
It ended in the bloody conflagration that killed between 10,000 to 50,000
Parisians. This war became
the prototype for the future revolutionary governments of the future when the
Jewish anarchist Karl Marx in his 1871 pamphlet titled, The Civil War in France that was written during the Commune became
the prototype of all future Communists revolutionary wars initiated by Lenin
(Jew) in Russian, Mao Zedong in China in what has become called the emancipation
of the proletariat.
April 19, 1919 – The revolt
of the Sailors on the battleship “France” and other warships that were sent to
stop the advance of the Russian Red Army in World War I mutinied, and later called
the “Mutiny in the Black Sea near Sébastopol” from April 19-21, 1919.
In spite of promises of the officers, the mutineers were treacherously
arrested and imprisoned between 10-20 years in prison.
April 19, 1943 – The Jewish Warsaw Ghetto was invaded by 2000 heavily armed Schutzstaffel
troops (Nazi Storm Troopers) where the last of the civilian Jewish
population hid in underground bunkers and storm drains. Using incendiary flame throwers the Jewish resistant
fighters fought off the SS causing them to withdraw. The German’s
returned and set the whole ghetto on fire. This was the first salvo to the
Holocaust of the Jews with the sacrifice of 6,000,000 Jews, a “blood sacrifice”
that was associated with a fiery conflagration (World War II).
April 19, 1960 - The April 19 Revolution saw President
Syngman Rhee, the first president of
the Provisional Government of Korea and later became the anti-communist
President of South Korea fleeing to exile in Hawaii and the death of Vice-president
Lee Kee-bung by a family group suicide.
April 19, 1961 – John F. Kennedy led
the path into the “Failed Bay of Pigs” disaster when America invaded Cuba. The Cuban
freedom fighters were betrayed when promised air support was not
provided. Fidel Castro, a high ranking Masonic member overthrew the
government of Cuba. Forty four years later he is the last remaining
Communist dictator in the world. CIA was initially blamed and the CIA’s
inspector general’s report blamed the CIA for its arrogance, poor planning and
“almost willful bungling.”
April 19, 1971 – “Operation Dewey
Canyon III” started as hundreds of Vietnam Veterans against the War
in Communist Viet Nam begin an encampment on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C.
between April 19-23.
April 19, 1971 – Sierra Leone’s Proclamation as the Republic brought this African
state to its independence, but was also the site where the Lost Tribal European
government of Portugal, Netherland, France and English began slave trading in
an African regions where Africans had little interest in acquiring slaves, a
practice that brutally divided the African continent to this day.
April 19, 1994 – The
Jewish American Secretary of
State Henry Kissinger stated, “The New World Order cannot
happen without U.S. participation, as we are the most significant single
component. Yes, there will be a New
World Order, and it will force the United States to change its perceptions.” (Henry
Kissinger at the World Affairs Council Press Conference, Regent Beverly
Wilshire Hotel)
April 19, 1995 – A massive car-bomb exploded at the Alfred Murrah Courthouse building in Oklahoma
City at 9:02 a.m. This explosive was used as a detonator
or a means to divert attention away from internal explosions within the
building. It was claimed that demolition charges were found on the failed
support columns which collapsed the entire side of the nine story federal
building. The casualties included 168 people including 19 children.
A decorated Gulf War veteran was later convicted and claimed retaliation for the 1993 Waco assault on the
Branch Davidian compound.
April 19, 1996 – Marine
Corp issues treatise against “right wing” extremism.
April 20, 1999 – The Columbine High School Massacre when two seniors, Eric
Harris and Dylan Klebold murdered 12 students, one teacher and injured 21 other
students in a fiery inferno that involved a fire bomb to divert firefighters,
propane tanks converted to bombs placed in the cafeteria, plus 99 explosive
devices and bombs that were rigged in cars.
April 16, 2007 – The Virginia
Tech University Massacre when a senior, at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and
State University in Blacksburg, Virginia, Seung-Hui Cho shot and killed 32
people, wounded 17 others before committing suicide. This fiery massacre was
the deadliest shooting incident by a single gunman in American history. It was
also the worst act of mass murder of college students since Syracuse University
lost 35 students in the bombing of Pan Am
Flight 103, and the second deadliest act of mass murder in a school
campus since the 1927 Bath
School disaster.
April 19, 2006 – MarineCorp
issues treatise against "right wing" extremism.
April 15, 2013 – The Boston Marathon
Massacre occurred with its twin fiery explosions four days shy of
seventy years since the Jewish annihilation of the Jewish resistant forces in
the storm drains of the Warsaw Ghetto.
April 17, 2013 – Purported Missile Bombing and
fiery conflagration of the Fertilizer Plant in the City of West, Texas that was near the home
site of former President George W. Bush. It was reported that 15 people died,
over 200 injured plus the lives of 4 fire fighters seeking to find and save
people. With a major part of this small
town destroyed, the property damages to the 150 homes, apartments and
businesses that were destroyed or heavily damaged came with a catastrophic
damage estimate of over than $100 Million. Unknown
to most, the large ammunition dump protecting his estate of President Bush
could have been targeted but was spared.
According
to Black Magick Practitioners, occultic
sacrifices as was publically done with the Branch Davidians in Waco, Texas and
later at Oklahoma City were witnessed by the world populations, yet most of
these blood sacrifices are private affairs that are usually done secretly.
These include the individual covens and will never see the light of day by the public. Yet, the rituals themselves always carry forth
three elements:
There must be human
sacrifices.
There must also
include a conflagration of fire, and
This event must carry
the elements of maximum trauma, intense stress, heightened mental anguish and
just sheer terror.
What we
can saw In Boston was a dual “blood sacrifice” attack that was initiated with a
conflagration of fire and smoke. It also
occurred within a critical 13-day period of time, requiring a “Blood Sacrifice
to the Beast” near to the date of April 19 and is now noted in American history
as the second attack upon American soil reputedly to have occurred by foreign
terrorists. Yet, we again ask a question; who were the handlers of these
terrorists?
Yet, is
there imbedded within our social culture the inclination to debase the lives of
people living in other cultures who do not ally themselves with our cultural
mores? Is it possible that our greed to gain control of the oil, mineral, and
strategic resources on earth has led the American Hellenistic culture to
devalue other people’s lives and with our “fiery sacrifices” of depleted
uranium munitions in times of war? Have we or our government leaders created a
religious and political culture that truly allows the fires of Molech to enter
into our lives?
We
shall explore these questions, as we explore deeper the “fire offerings” to the
satanic god of Molech.

Cult of Death
In the world of sin,
after the expulsion of Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden, the cyclical
process of “Eden Lost and Eden Restored”, “Expulsion and Restoration” is as much
a part of the cycles of life as the cyclical wave patterns of the photons of
light in which we see, and the wave patterns of sound in which we hear. The one
long exile of the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel and two exiles of the
House of Judah are all part of G-d’s Divine Plan of redemption and restoration
of His chosen people.
These real spiritual
imageries that have affected the lives of the House of Israel, and also the
House of Judah, will also become part of the pathway of the redemption of the
descendants Isaac’s brother, Ishmael. What we are seeing today is the last dramatic
act of the Drama of the Ages that will bring “salvation” to all that are “safe to
save” to live in the “world to come.”

Weekly Bible Reading #25 - Year 5773 (2012/2013) – April 6, 2013
Parashat Shemini (Eighth); Leviticus 9:1-11:47
Haftarah; Ashkenazi - II Samuel 6:1-7:17
Sephardic -II Samuel 6:1-6:19
NOTE: Kol HaTor, in
its commentaries on the weekly Parashot, endeavors to search for and accentuate
the Torah Messages contained in the Parashot as applicable to the main Theme of
Tanach of the Return of the House of Israel, i.e. the Lost Ten Tribes of
Northern Israel and their Reconciliation with Judah to form the reunited
12-Tribed Kingdom of Israel.
DISCLAIMER
- The authors whom we quote from for this Commentary are not associated
with KOL HA'TOR and need not agree with our views expressed herein or in
our other publications. While we publish their views for its
relative value to the interpretation of the Parashah, KOL HATOR does not
necessarily agree with the views expressed by these authors.
The
following extracts from Rabbinic commentaries on Parashat Shemini have been
compiled into a comprehensive Commentary by Kol
HaTor with further comments between [ ]. As we read in the Parashat Shemini
written by Rabbi Eli Mansour titled, “Obeying
Torah Authority” on Daily Halacha.org,
we read:
Daily
Halacha – “Parashat Shemini tells of the inauguration of the Mishkan (the
Tabernacle) and the special events that were held to mark the “opening day” (on
the eighth day) of the Mishkan's operation. Moshe tells Aharon, who on this day
became the Kohen Gadol, to prepare a number of animals as his personal
sacrifice, and to instruct Benei [the Children of] Yisrael to prepare animals
for their sacrifice. Benei Yisrael's sacrifice included an Egel – a calf – as
well as a goat.
The
Sages explain that these two offerings served to atone for two different
sins: the calf (for worshipping of strange gods), of course, atoned
for … the sin of the golden calf, whereas the goat served to atone for the
sale of Yosef. Over two centuries earlier, Yosef's brothers sold him as a
slave to Egypt, and to conceal their crime they slaughtered a goat and dipped
Yosef's garment in its blood, so that it would appear as though he were killed
by an animal. On the day of the Mishkan's inauguration, Benei Yisrael atoned
for their ancestors' sin through the offering of a goat as a special sacrifice
to God.”
[The
‘selling of Yosef into slavery’ according to Rabbinic interpretation,
represents the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel’s exile into oblivion amongst the
nations. Yosef, through his two sons Ephraim and Menasheh, represents the
re-identifying body of 10-Israel in dispersion, which will return to the Land
in the End Time. Yosef’s life, his later rulership in Egypt under the Pharaoh
and his revealing himself to his brothers, represent the ultimate Return and
Reconciliation with Judah (the Jews) in the Redemption and the settlement of
the Promised Land of Greater Israel) ].
The work “Be'er Yosef” explains that both
these unfortunate events – the sin of the calf and the sale of Yosef – resulted
from the same mistake: disregarding the guidance of Torah leaders. As many
Rabbis explained, Benei Yisrael did not actually worship a golden calf.
Rather, they sought to create some kind of structure that would replace Moshe
as the source of guidance and instruction from God, the site at which God would
convey His commands.
Such an idea is not intrinsically wrong; in
fact, this is precisely the function served by the Mishkan. However, when Benei
Yisrael contemplated this idea, they consulted with Chur, one of the leaders appointed
to guide the people in Moshe's absence, and he opposed the initiative. But the
people were very enthusiastic about the idea to fashion the calf, and therefore
killed Chur for expressing opposition. Aharon, the other leader appointed over
the nation, had no choice but to acquiesce, in order to spare himself the same
tragic fate as his colleague. The severity of the sin thus lay not in the act
itself, but rather in the brazen disregard for Chur's authority.
Similarly,
Yosef's brothers acted as they did on the basis of sound Halachic reasoning. Yosef
had spoken negatively about them to their father, seemingly in an effort to
have them expelled from the family, and his dreams indicated that he
sought to rule over them, in violation of Yehuda's exclusive rights to
the monarchy. The brothers therefore convened a Beit Din (Rabbinical court)
and concluded that he is liable to the death penalty. They erred, however, in
not consulting with the Rabbinic leadership of the time – Yaakov, Yitzchak,
Shem and Ever. As in the case of the golden calf, what appeared as a valid and
warranted course of action was followed either without the guidance of the
Torah leaders.”
[The sin of the Northern
10 Tribes of Israel, centuries later, after the Hebrew nation had settled
in the Promised Land, was identical: They rebelled against the
judicial mandate of Judah (Micah 1:2-7) and set up their own
interpretations of Torah.
As a result G-d cut them
off from His Covenant and exiled them amongst the nations – but, with the
Divine Promise that He would regather them and re-unite them at the End of Time
with Judah, in fulfillment of His Promise and Blessing to Avraham of an
innumerable generations, and (Genesis 12:7; 13:16; 15:5), settled in
a vastly expanded land mass: The Greater Israel. With the historical guilt
record cleared, seeming disaster strikes the joyful celebrations at the inauguration
of the Tabernacle. Aharon’s two sons, Nadav and Avihu, both righteous souls,
are struck dead in the Tabernacle by ‘the fire of G-d’, for bringing untimely,
wrong sacrifice].
Rabbi Berel Wein – “After the seven
days of excitement and joy upon the consecration of the Mishkan and the
installation of Aharon and his sons as the priests of Israel devoted to the
service of God and humans, tragedy strikes the family of Aharon and all of
Israel. The commentators to Torah as well as the Talmud itself searched for the
causes that created this sad situation.
The questions underlying the events
described in the parsha of Shmini go to the heart of Jewish faith and
worldview. They require investigation and serious analysis. A review of
the opinions expressed in Talmud and by the commentators, do not at first
glance reveal any major transgressions on the part of Nadav and Avihu. True,
Aharon’s role in helping create the Golden Calf may explain his being brought
to grieving for his two eldest sons, but it was Nadav and Avihu who died, not
Aharon.
Small mistakes often lead to great
tragedies. And the Torah teaches us that personal failures that can be tolerated
in most humans are magnified and are not overlooked when they occur to people
in positions of power and leadership. The scale of Heavenly tolerance, so to
speak, is a sliding one, dependent on the status, accomplishments, abilities
and public position of the human person being judged.
There is a special sin offering
reserved for the leader of Israel. The accepted usual sin offering is
insufficient if we are dealing with the sins of leadership. This is one of the
key lessons of this parsha. God’s justice is personal and exacting. Nadav and
Avihu are the prime examples of this truism.”
Rabbi
Yochanan Zweig - “The Torah records that Nadav and Avihu brought an "eish
zarah" - "alien fire" into the Holy of Holies, a service which
only the Kohein Gadol was permitted to perform once a year on Yom Kippur.The
Ramban finds it inconceivable that Nadav and Avihu would perform such a
blatantly brazen act without authorization, and therefore offers another
interpretation.Nevertheless, the Sifra maintains that they did
enter the Holy of Holies.How can the actions of Nadav and Avihu be
explained?
Perhaps
even more perplexing is the Tannaic interpretation that Nadav and Avihu entered
the Sanctuary “shisuyei yayin” – “having imbibed wine”.Apparently,
they violated the commandment forbidding a person to perform the sacrificial
service while inebriated. Moshe Rabbeinu attests to the fact that Nadav and
Avihu were greater than himself and his brother Aharon; how can this behavior
be attributed to men of such stature?
The
number eight [the title of this
Parashah, named after the introductory words of this Scripture portion] Kabbalistically
refers to the World to Come and therefore is used to define the events
of the day of the erecting of the Tabernacle, “bayom hashemini”, for on this
day a new world order was initiated.Nadav and Avihu's error was
a result of their belief that this new world order indicated the perfection of
the world, created a utopian society.
In
a perfect world imperfection does not exist and therefore everything can be
used to serve Hashem at the highest level; no special sanctification or time
limitation exists to prevent a person from entering the Holy of Holies to
perform service to Hashem. However, the building of the Tabernacle marked only
the beginning of the process toward a perfect world, only a link to the World
to Come. Therefore, limitations and imperfections still existed.”
[Rabbinic interpretation of the Scriptures is done on 4
levels of biblical exegesis in rabbinic Judaism that ranged from the basic
literal to more advance interpretations. This is called PaRDeS that includes;
Peshat, the plain (simple) or literal reading; the
Remez, the allegorical reading through text's hint or
allusion; the
Derash, the metaphorical reading through a (Rabbinic
sermon's) comparison/illustration (midrash); and the
Sod, the hidden meaning reading through text's secret or
mystery (Kabbalah).
The study of Torah (and the
Bible) affects man’s consciousness in various progressive ways. This includes:
Da’yah
– knowledge, the initial stage;
Binah
– understanding; and
Haskel
– mind consciousness, convicting realization and effort.
This latter category of
consciousness is a stage of spirituality which progressive study of the Bible
can bring about. This, to Christianity, Ten Tribers and Hebraic Restorers may
be known as a religious experience or conviction which they refer to as
‘conversion’ (repentance), viz. spiritual conversion. In Judaism this condition
is better known as Teshuvah].
Let us now bring forth the
wisdom of Rabbi Pinchas Winston also from Torah.org on his sage counsel titled, “Learning
Perceptions” that came from the Parashat Shemini:
Rabbi
Pinchas Winston - “Haskel, [is derived] from the word seichel, which
means ‘mind’. Haskel, therefore, refers to a level of consciousness on
which a person becomes mindful of an idea, to the extent that it becomes an
axiom of his perspective on life. On such a level, violation of the idea is
a violation of self.
This is different from Dayah and
Binah, two lesser levels of awareness, which mean knowledge and understanding
respectively. Dayah is really just awareness of an idea before one actually
begins to understand its meaning or role in life; something that is a function
of Binah or understanding. Understanding something or even its consequences
alone is not necessarily enough to change a person’s path in life.
A heart attack or something similar,
God forbid, does change lives. To intellectually confront death lacks impact;
to experientially confront it is real enough to cause a person to identify
their errant behavior with catastrophic results. This has the capacity to
change a person’s life, and to force them to take responsibility for their
actions to the point of biting the bullet and quitting what they should have
quit a long time ago, or to start doing that which they should have begun doing
a while back.
This is the level of Haskel, or
Da’as. It is the level of intellectual realization on which an idea merges with
one’s mindset. A person has a difficult time living with himself if his life
runs contrary to the concept, which is what forces a person to eventually do
teshuvah [repentance, turning around].
If he doesn’t, then he has to shut
himself down emotionally, which can and usually will have extreme consequences,
such as, at best, becoming a hypocrite, and at worst, a sociopath. When that
happens, a person can do just about anything without any real sense of remorse,
making him a danger to society and himself.
It is only on the level of Haskel
that ideas become part of reality, and they make life exciting. Ideas that are
based in truth, when implemented, impact us and the world in which we live. The
more truth-based they are, the greater the impact they will have, some of which
is visible to us, much of which takes place in spiritual realms beyond our
ability to perceive.
This can be both exhilarating and
dangerous at the same time. If the idea being actualized is implemented at the
wrong time, or even in the wrong place, it can damage the world and the person
responsible. The intention can be good and the act great, but if the conditions
are wrong then the impact is wrong and destructive.
There is no question that Nadav and
Avihu, the two eldest sons of Aharon HaKohen, were great people. They learned
their Torah directly from the mouth of their uncle, Moshe Rabbeinu, and they
had been sanctified for their roles in the Mishkan. If they suffered from anything,
it was a little too much religious fervor, too great a desire to achieve Haskel
on some of the holiest ideas known to mankind.
They had been trained to connect to
God. They knew things that others did not, and could not. Officiating in the
Mishkan required more than obedience and a memorization of responsibility. It
required a deep and profound understanding of what was supposed to be
accomplished, and how. If they had been drunk on anything, it was on all of the
sublime knowledge they had been exposed to in a very short period of time.
It was only natural for them to want
to become unified with that knowledge, to experience what they had already
gained on the levels of Dayah and Binah on the level of Haskel. And, in time,
they would have done exactly that, with the permission of God, just as Adam …
would have been permitted to eat from the [Tree of Good and Evil] on the first
Shabbat, had he waited for Divine permission to do so.
For, G-d does not create knowledge
and then keep it away from man. What we are not supposed to know at all we do
not know about. What we are told about is something that we can know, but only
at the right time, when we’re ready to know it, and when history is ready for
us to learn it. To jump the gun is to bring about exactly the opposite of what
the knowledge is meant to do: bring us closer to G-d, and make life a Godly
experience.
This is also true of levels of
knowledge as well. We may already know about something on the level of Dayah
and Binah, but not yet on the level of Haskel. As hungry as we may be to make
that leap of knowledge experience, and we should be, we have to be careful to
not emotionally bite off more than we can chew at the time.
I believe that the majority of the
time people are ready for higher levels of knowledge, or at least could be, but
they do not pursue them. Instead, they accept their current level of
understanding and intellectual appreciation, and intellectually, and therefore
emotionally, stagnate.”
[The above Rabbinic analysis provides great guidelines to
re-awakening Ten Tribers and Hebraic Restorers. In fulfillment of Prophetic
Promise, these souls are finding (often on their own, by G-d’s Guidance as
promised) great revelationary Truths in the Bible. These discoveries
rocket them out of Churchianity and into the Wilderness, on the Way back Home
to the Promised Land. It also, logically so, boosts their personal egos.
This, unfortunately to the extent that many of them having
been burnt by the contorted teachings of their Church leaders have become very
hesitant about learning from established religious institutions. Also,
having been brainwashed against Rabbinic teaching while living in a society
which condemn the ‘man-made contortions of Scripture by the Rabbis’, a society
which generally hates Judaism for some or often no reason at all, these
restorers of Truth are very reluctant to fall under ‘man-made’ religious
domination once more.
This Parashah and these Rabbinic interpretations, presented
on the Sod level beyond the very limited extent of the ‘Written Word’, hold
invaluable guidelines and Divine reprimands for these discoverers of new-found
Truth, about the danger of extravagant zeal – even for the Truth – as with
Nadav and Avihu.
Now here, below, follows the spiritual remedy. Do
take careful and serious note!]. Rabbi Pinchas Winston continues:
Rabbi Pinchas Winston - “We are now
into the period of Sefiras HaOmer [the Counting of the Omer – i.e. the 50
days from Pesach to Shavuot, Pentecost], the goal of which is to develop a leiv
tov— a good heart. The 32 days from Pesach to Lag B’Omer is for
developing a heart (the gematria [i.e. the numerical value of the Hebrew
letters spelling of] leiv, or heart, is 32), so-to-speak, and the 17
days after Lag B’Omer, the gematria of tov, or good, is for transforming
our hearts into good hearts, as it says:
“He [Rebi Yochanan] said to them
[his students], “Go out and discern which is the best way to which a person
should cling.”
Rebi Eliezer said: “A good eye
(i.e., be tolerant of others).” Rebi Yehoshua said: “A good friend
(i.e., he should be one and have one).”
Rebi Yosi said: “A good neighbor
[from whom he can learn good traits].”
Rebi Shimon said: “One who considers
consequences [of his actions].”
Rebi Elazar said: “A good heart
[that will lead him to all of the above].” (Pirkei Avos 2:13)
If ever there is a time of year to
achieve a good heart, it is now. Ultimately speaking, it is about becoming real
with truth, which means knowing what you know not just on the level of Dayah
and Binah, but on the level of Haskel as well. That is when a person has difficult
time acting contrary to what he knows is the Godly way to behave.”
[A good starting point for those who are not conversant with
the above concepts of: Omer, Shavuot, Gematriah is to start learning about it
and the many related topics].
To strive for UNITY
In closing, Rabbi Yissocher
Frand with Torah.org makes the
following observation of the underlying Divine Call for UNITY in this Parashah
and its Message. He responds to the question: "Why is this symbolism (the
Goat that atones for Yosef's Sale) appropriate now at the dedication of the
Mishkan? Maybe it would have been appropriate when they left Egypt to have the
Paschal Offering be a goat rather than a lamb?"
Rabbi
Yissocher Frand – “The Oznaim L'Torah gives a very logical answer. The
underlying cause of the sin of Yosef's sale was unfounded hatred (sinas Chinam). Part of the function of the
Mishkan was to act as a unifying force
within the Jewish [Hebrew} people. That is why emphasis is placed on the
fact that it was "in the midst of the camp." The Mishkan was the
focal institution of the nation, geographically as well as spiritually. It served to unify Klal Yisrael [The
12-Tribed Community].
This year, unfortunately, because of our sins we all spent Pessach separately.
But G-d willing, the Temple will speedily be rebuilt and we will all spend
Pessach together in Jerusalem -- unified as a single and cohesive nation [i.e.
ALL 12 Tribes as required for the Redemption]. The Oznaim L'Torah quotes the
pasuk from Parsahs Terumah "The middle bar inside the beams shall extend
from end to end (min hakatzeh el hakatzeh)" [Shmos (Exodus) 26:28] This
phrase is symbolic of the ability to
unify diverse components of the people -- from the far left to the far
right --who can all come together and rally around a single national focus of
attention, i.e. -- the Mishkan.
Now, at the dedication of the Mishkan, whose purpose in part was to unify the people, was indeed the appropriate venue to achieve
atonement once and for all for that unseemly incident in the nation's history
which typified disunity within the
family -- the sale of their own brother (Joseph) into slavery.”

Latest word from Israel from Kol Ha Tor
Director, Ovadyah Avrahami:
“This is 2nd in a series of Blessings observed in Israel
since Pesach. Is this the year of Blessing; the start of the Blessings foretold
by HaShem for the Time of gathering in the nation?
Surely this places His Nation under obligation for reciprocal Thanksgiving
Teshuvah ('turn around') especially in this time when our rulers are NOT tuned
in on the Will of HaShem, but rather on the will of Obama and the nations for
Israel - even for the interest of our enemies? In this respect, Jews are great exemplary executors of the NT "turn the other
cheek" (which Judaism does NOT interpret in Christian terms). Whatever the
case - the Blessings are coming!
Since Independence Day from last Monday, April 15 to
Shabbat on April 20, 2013 we have had untimely rains, more than the average
summer volume for a week! In fact, we
are back on our full winter clothing after summer had been breaking around
Pesach time!
I remember well in the 80’s, when we first came to Israel
on Aliyah. Summer would beat down relentlessly for 8 months a year without a
cloud in the sky. The seasonal change
over at end summer and end winter would take no longer than on e week. Over the
last few years we have noted a definite change in all these weather
patterns. Now abundant summer rains
after Independence day and back to winter.
This is time for Thanksgiving - and 10-Israel should join
with Judah in this celebration. HaShem's favor cannot be bought by our
'righteousness' - but, we surely could stand guilty of throwing His Kindness
and Blessings back in His Face, or for taking it simply as for granted, leaving
His Interest to find its own success.”
May His nation and people and all mankind
exalt Him!
May His people help tirelessly to build His Kingdom!
Ovadyah Avrahami
Destination Yisrael - During this weekend,
the storms and rains did wonders for the Sea of Galilee as she continued to
inch upwards from the water tables of the once “black line” and now standing at
212.12 meters upwards of 35 millimeters in one week. Reported storm, hail and
strong winds also caused significant damage upwards to NIS 35 million of damage
to fields of produce, that include avocados, citrus, fruits and vegetables,
field crops and ornamental plants plus hail damage that also did extensive
damage to numerous outdoor nurseries. These figures came from KANAT, the
insurance for natural damages in agriculture according to survey in 400
different points of crop damages.
Between the dates of
February 23 to March 4, 2013, the Mountain of Israel in Shomron and Judea
garnered the largest gains in water between 150 to 200 centimeters of water,
plus another 130-160 millimeters of rain water in Galilee and the Golan Heights
region to the northeast.
It appeared that the
final divine blessing of the “Latter Rain” may now be upon us, and will be
exemplified in a complete climate change in the Land of Israel. What we may be
witnessing is the prophetic fact that the Land of Israel and throughout the
regions of the future Greater Israel will again become a “Land flowing with
Milk and Honey”, not just by Jewish agricultural ingenuity but by the direct
blessings that Israel will be tectonically moved into a new latitude and
longitude and soon become again a tropical paradise. This fact dovetails with
the prophetic end time messages of Joel and Zechariah:
Joel
2:23
– “Be glad then ye
children of Zion and rejoice in the Lord your God: for He hath given you the
former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the
former rain, and the latter rain in the first month” [Thus Nissan and the
beginning of Pesach (Passover) season].
Zechariah
10:1 –Ask the Lord for Rain in
the time of the Latter Rain.The Lord will make flashing clouds;He will give them Showers of Rain,Grass in the Field for
Everyone.
And then we must take
another look at the famous prophecy of the Last Seven Years before the Coming
of the Messiah by the famous Prophecy
of Rabbi Yochanan ben Zaccai of Yavnah after the city of Jerusalem and the Holy
Temple were destroyed in 70 CE:
Sanhedrin 97a – “Rebi Yochanan ben Zaccai of Yavnah
said: In the generation that Ben Dovid will come, talmidei chachamim, the
“pupil of wisdom” known as the Torah sage or scholar, will decrease, and the
eyes of the remainder will protrude from sighing and sorrow; many chastisements
and many evil decrees will be renewed; one will not cease before another
begins.”
Today we can begin to perceive the
unfolding drama of the last few years before the coming of the Messiah son of
David (Maschiah ben Dovid). Now that we know when
the fifty year Jubilee Cycles will end, it now appears that the new Messianic
Age will begin in the year of 2017; according to the 13th century
prophecy by “Rabbi
Judah ben Samuel of the last 10 Jubilees before the revealing of the Messiah”.
Rabbi Judah ben Samuel - “When the Ottomans
(Turks) – who were already a power to be reckoned with on the Bosporus in
the time of Judah Ben Samuel – conquer Jerusalem they will rule over
Jerusalem for eight jubilees. Afterwards Jerusalem will become no-man’s
land for one jubilee, and then in the ninth jubilee it will once again
come back into the possession of the Jewish nation – which would signify
the beginning of the Messianic end time.”
Then we complete the
Prophecy of Rabbi Judah ben Zaccai of Yavneh of the last Seven Years before the
coming of the Messiah as we read these words:
In the first year (2009 starting with Rosh Hashanah 2008),
the following prophecy in Amos 4:7 will be fulfilled “I caused it to rain on
one city, but, on another city, I did not cause it to rain.
In the second year (2010, starting with Rosh Hashanah 2009),
there will be a “slight famine” in which according to Rashi, “no place will be
completely satisfied”.
In the third year (2011 starting with Rosh Hashanah 2010),
“famine will be great, and men, women, children, pious people, and men of good
deeds will die; Torah will be forgotten by those who learned it.”
In the fourth year (2012, starting with Rosh Hashanah 2011),
“some will be satiated while others are not.”
In the fifth year (2013, starting with Rosh Hashanah 2012),
there will be plenty and people will eat, drink, and be joyous, and the Torah
will return to those who learned it.”
In the sixth year (2014, starting with Rosh Hashanah 2013),
there will be voices which according to Rashi depict either the blowing of the
shofars (war) or the hints and voices about the coming of the messiah.
In the seventh year (2015, starting with Rosh Hashanah
2014), there will be war.”
The eighth year will be the Year of the Messiah when it will be expected that he will be fully revealed by the G-d of Israel in the year beginning with Rosh Hashanah 2015 and Planet Earth’s calendar year of 2016. The inaugural reign of King Messiah will begin as all the kings of Israel in the next year when the Jubilee Year ends on Rosh Hashanah 2016. Will we enter the new era of the Messiah in the Jewish Year 5777 (5000 + 777) or the Planet Earth’s calendar year of 2017?
To the Jews of the
Land of Israel, by Rosh Hashanah, you will be fully in perception that the G-d
of Israel is holding out His hand of mercy to you and the Land of Israel. At that time we will then see the fulfillment
of the prophetic promise of Ezekiel given to him by the G-d of Israel (Ezekiel
36) to be given to the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel; the land of
Israel will be restored to Gan Eden, the restoration of the Garden of Eden.
Also at the time will
be the great ingathering of “All Israel”; the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of
Israel plus the ingathering of all the Jews of the diaspora. Hundreds of
millions of Lost Israelites will be returned to the “land of their forefathers
and return in love and fellowship with their brothers the Jews of the House of
Israel.
Ezekiel
36:22-23, 24-28 (parts); 33- - “Therefore, tell the house of Isra’el that
Adonai Elohim (L-rd G’d) says this:I am not going to do this for your sake, house of Isra’el, but for the sake
of my holy name, which you have been profaning among the nations where you
went. I will set apart my great name to be regarded as holy, since it has
been profaned in the nations – you profaned it among them. They will know that I
am Adonai,’ says Adonai Elohim, ‘when, before their eyes, I am set apart
through you to be regarded as holy.
For
I will take you from among the nations, gather you from all countries,
and return you to your own soil. Then I will sprinkle clean water upon
you…I will cleanse you from your uncleanliness…I will give you a new heart and
put a new spirit inside your…You will live in the land I gave to your
ancestors. You will be my people, and I will be your G-d…
When
the day comes for me to cleanse you from all your guilt, I will cause cities
to be inhabited and the ruins to be rebuilt. The land that was desolate
will be tilled, whereas formerly it lay desolate for all passing by to see.
They will say, ‘the land that used to be desolate has become like Gan Eden
(Garden of Eden)…Then the nations around that remain will know that I,
Adonai, have rebuilt the ruins and replanted what was abandoned. I, Adonai,
have spoke; and I will do it!”
If that
fact does not make your heart palpitate, will anything else?
************
The G-d of Israel is
working with imperfect people in order to restore this planet to a messianic
era in which our lives can be focused on holiness, righteousness and justice.
If so, you might desire to reconnect with the Biblical portrayals of what is
and will be happening in your near future.
This Biblical portrayal
includes Prophecies that the Lost Tribes of the House of Israel are about to

Weekly Bible Reading
#24
- Year 5773 (2012/2013)
– March 23, 2013
Parashat Tzav (Command!): Leviticus 6:1 - 8:36
Haftarah: Jeremiah 7:21-8:3; 9:22-23
NOTE: Kol HaTor, in its commentaries on
the weekly Parashot, endeavors to search for and accentuate the Torah Messages
contained in the Parashot as applicable to the main Theme of Tanach of the
Return of the House of Israel, i.e. the Lost Ten Tribes of Northern Israel and
their Reconciliation with Judah to form the reunited 12-Tribed Kingdom of
Israel.
DISCLAIMER
- The authors whom we quote from for this Commentary are not associated
with KOL HA'TOR and need not agree with our views expressed herein or in
our other publications. While we publish their views for its
relative value to the interpretation of the Parashah, KOL HATOR does not
necessarily agree with the views expressed by these authors.
This year, Parashat Tzav coincides
with Shabbat HaGadol, the
Sabbath preceding Pesah.
The Parashah describes the sacrificial offerings and rituals to be performed in
the Tabernacle or Temple by the nation, in order to maintain a close
relationship with G-d. When Tzav coincides with Shabbat HaGadol,
the normal Haftarah from Jeremiah 7:21-8:3; 9:22-23 is replaced by Malachi 3:4-24 (which is Malachi
3:24-4:6 in non-Hebrew Version).
This Haftarah from Jeremiah
is disturbingly condemning of Judah, specifically. It raises perplexing
questions about the entire Sacrificial System and, of course, the problem that
for the last 2000 years Judah was not able to bring Sacrifices, due to the destruction
of the Temple and the Jewish Exile.
Jeremiah 7:28-34 – “The people
of Judah have done evil in my eyes, declares HaShem. They have set up their
detestable idols in the house that bears my Name and have defiled it. They
have built the high places of Topheth in the Valley of Ben Hinnom to burn their
sons and daughters in the fire—something I did not command, nor did it enter my
mind.
So beware, the days are coming, declares HaShem, when
people will no longer call it Topheth or the Valley of Ben Hinnom, but the
Valley of Slaughter, for they will bury the dead in Topheth until there is no
more room. Then the carcasses of this people will
become food for the birds and the wild animals, and there will be no one to
frighten them away. I will bring an end to the sounds of joy and gladness and
to the voices of bride and bridegroom in the towns of Judah and the streets of
Jerusalem, for the land will become desolate.”
Jeremiah 8:1-3 - “At that
time, declares HaShem, the bones of the kings and officials of Judah, the bones
of the priests and prophets, and the bones of the people of Jerusalem will be
removed from their graves. They will be exposed to the
sun and the moon and all the stars of the heavens, which they have loved and
served and which they have followed and consulted and worshiped.
They will not be gathered up or buried, but
will be like dung lying on the ground. Wherever I banish them, all
the survivors of this evil nation will prefer death to life, declares HaShem
Almighty.”
Jeremiah 7:22-23 – “When I brought your
forefathers out of Egypt and spoke to them, I did not give them commands about
burnt offerings and sacrifices, but I gave them this command:
‘Obey me, and I will be your
G-d and you will be My people. Walk in all the ways I command you that it may
go well with you.’”
Britain's Chief Rabbi, Lord Jonathan Sacks – “Commentators
have been puzzled by the glaring contradiction between these words and the
obvious fact that G-d did command the Israelites about sacrifices after
bringing them out of Egypt. Several solutions have been offered.
According to Maimonides, the sacrifices
were a means, not an end, to the service of G-d. Radak argues that sacrifices
were not the first of G-d’s commands after the exodus; instead, civil laws
were. Abarbanel goes so far as to say that initially G-d had not intended to
give the Israelites a code of sacrifice, and did so only after the sin of the
Golden Calf. The sacrifices were an antidote to the Israelites’ tendency to
rebel against G-d.
The simplest explanation is to note that the
Hebrew word ‘lo’ does not invariably mean “not”; sometimes it means “not only”
or “not just”. According to this, Jeremiah is not saying that G-d did not
command sacrifices. He did, but they were not the sole or even most important
element of the religious life. The common denominator of the prophetic critique
of sacrifices is not opposition to them as such, but rather an insistence that
acts directed to G-d must never dull our sense of duty to mankind. Micah gave
this idea one of its most famous expressions:
Micah 6:6-8 (parts) – “With what shall I
come before HaShem and bow down before the exalted G-d?...Will HaShem be
pleased with thousands of rams, with ten thousand rivers of oil?...He has shown
you, O man, what is good. What does HaShem require of you:
To act justly and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your G-d.”
Yet the question remains. Why
sacrifices? To be sure, they have not been part of the life of Judaism since
the destruction of the Second Temple, almost 2,000 years ago. But why, if they
are a means to an end, did G-d choose this end? This is, of course, one of the
deepest questions in Judaism, and there are many answers. Here I want explore
just one, first given by the early fifteenth century Jewish thinker, R. Joseph
Albo, in his Sefer ha-Ikkarim.
Albo’s theory took as its starting point, not
sacrifices but two other intriguing questions. The first: Why, after the flood,
did G-d permit human beings to eat meat? (Genesis 9: 3-5). Initially, neither
human beings nor animals had been meat-eaters (Gen. 1: 29-30). What caused G-d,
as it were, to change His mind?
The second: What was wrong with the
first act of sacrifice -- Cain’s offering of “some of the fruits of the soil”
(Gen. 4:3-5). G-d’s rejection of that offering led directly to the first
murder, when Cain killed Abel. What was at stake in the difference between Cain
and Abel as to how to bring a gift to G-d?
Albo’s theory is this. Killing
animals for food is inherently wrong. It involves taking the life of a
sentient being to satisfy our needs. Cain knew this. He believed there was a strong
kinship between man and the animals. That is why he offered, not an animal
sacrifice, but a vegetable one (his error, according to Albo, is that he should
have brought fruit, not vegetables – the highest, not the lowest, of non-meat
produce).
Abel, by contrast, believed that there
was a qualitative difference between man and the animals. Had G-d not told the
first humans: “Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over
every living creature that moves in the ground”? That is why he brought an
animal sacrifice. Once Cain saw that Abel’s sacrifice had been accepted while
his own was not, he reasoned thus. If G-d (who forbids us to kill animals for
food) permits and even favors killing an animal as a sacrifice, and if (as Cain
believed) there is no ultimate difference between human beings and animals,
then I shall offer the very highest living being as a sacrifice to G-d,
namely my brother Abel. Cain killed Abel not out of envy or animosity but
as a human sacrifice.
That is why G-d permitted meat-eating after
the flood. Before the flood, the world had been “filled with violence”.
Perhaps violence is an inherent part of human nature. If there were to
be any humanity at all, G-d would have to lower his demands of mankind. Let
them kill animals, He said, rather than kill human beings – the one form of
life that is not only G-d’s creation but also G-d’s image. Hence the
otherwise almost unintelligible sequence of verses after Noah and his family
emerge on dry land:
Genesis 8:20-22 – 9:1,3,6 (parts) – “Then Noah built an
altar to the Lord and, taking some of all the clean animals and clean birds, he
sacrificed burnt offerings on it. The Lord smelled the pleasing aroma and
said in his heart, “Never again will I curse the ground because of man, even
though every inclination of his heart is evil from childhood…”
According to Albo the logic of the
passage is clear. Noah offers an animal sacrifice in thanksgiving for having
survived the flood. G-d sees that human beings need this way of expressing
themselves. They are genetically predisposed to violence (“every
inclination of his heart is evil from childhood”). If, therefore, society is to
survive, human beings need to be able to direct their violence toward
non-human animals, whether as food or sacrificial offering. The crucial
ethical line to be drawn is between human and non-human.
The permission to kill animals is accompanied by an absolute prohibition
against killing human beings (“for in the image of G-d, has G-d made man”.
It is not that G-d approves of killing animals, whether for sacrifice or food,
but that to forbid this to human beings, given their genetic predisposition to
violence, is utopian. It is not for now but for the end of days.
In the meanwhile, the least bad
solution is to let people kill animals rather than murder their fellow humans.
Animal sacrifices are a concession to human nature (on why G-d never chooses to
change human nature, see Maimonides, Guide for the Perplexed, Book III, ch.
32). Sacrifices are a substitute for violence directed against mankind.”
The contemporary thinker who has done most to
revive this understanding (without, however, referring to Albo or the Jewish
tradition) is René Girard, in such books as Violence and the Sacred, The Scapegoat, and Things Hidden since the
Foundation of the World. The common denominator in sacrifices, he
argues thus:
René Girard – “…internal violence –
all the dissensions, rivalries, jealousies, and quarrels within the community
that the sacrifices are designed to suppress. The purpose of the sacrifice is
to restore harmony to the community, to reinforce the social fabric. Everything
else derives from that." (Violence
and the Sacred, pg. 8).
The worst form of violence within and
between societies is vengeance, “an interminable, infinitely repetitive
process”. Hillel (whom Girard also does not quote) said, on seeing a human
skull floating on water, said in Avot 2:6:
Rabbi Hillel the Great (Avot 2:6) – “Because
you drowned others, they drowned you, and those who drowned you will in the end
themselves be drowned”
Sacrifices are one way of diverting the
destructive energy of revenge. Why then do modern societies not practice
sacrifice? Because, argues Girard, there is another way of displacing
vengeance:
René Girard – “Vengeance is a
vicious circle whose effect on primitive societies can only be surmised. For us
the circle has been broken. We owe our good fortune to one of our social
institutions above all: our judicial system, which serves to deflect the menace
of vengeance. The system does not suppress vengeance; rather, it
effectively limits itself to a single act of reprisal, enacted by a sovereign
authority specializing in this particular function. The decisions of the
judiciary are invariably presented as the final word on vengeance.” (Ibid.
pg. 15)
(End of Quote)
Not only does Girard’s theory re-affirm
the view of Albo. It also helps us understand the profound insight of the
prophets and of Judaism as a whole. Sacrifices are not ends in themselves, but
part of the Torah’s programme to construct a world redeemed from the otherwise
interminable cycle of revenge. The other part of that programme, and G-d’s
greatest desire, is a world governed by justice. That, we recall, was His first
charge to Abraham, to “instruct his children and his household after him to
keep the way of the Lord by doing what is right and just.” (Genesis 18:19).
Have we therefore moved beyond that stage in human history in which animal
sacrifices have a point? Has justice become a powerful enough reality that we
need no longer need religious rituals to divert the violence between human
beings? Would that it were so!
In his book, The Warrior’s Honour (1997), Michael Ignatieff tries to understand
the wave of ethnic conflict and violence (Bosnia, Kosovo, Chechnya, Rwanda)
that has scarred the face of humanity since the end of the Cold War. What
happened to the liberal dream of “the end of history”? His words go the very
heart of the new world disorder:
Michael Ignatieff – “The chief moral
obstacle in the path of reconciliation is the desire for revenge. Now,
revenge is commonly regarded as a low and unworthy emotion, and because it is
regarded as such, its deep moral hold on people is rarely understood. But revenge
– morally considered – is a desire to keep faith with the dead, to honour their
memory by taking up their cause where they left off. Revenge keeps faith
between generations…
This cycle of intergenerational recrimination has no logical end…But it is the
very impossibility of intergenerational vengeance that locks communities into
the compulsion to repeat…
Reconciliation has no chance against vengeance unless it respects the
emotions that sustain vengeance, unless it can replace the respect entailed
in vengeance with rituals in which communities once at war learn to mourn their
dead together. (The Warrior’s Honour, pg.
188-190)
Far from speaking to an age long gone and
forgotten, the Laws of Sacrifice tell us three things as important now
as then:
First, violence is still part of human
nature, never more dangerous than when combined with an ethic of revenge;
Second, rather than denying its
existence, we must find ways of redirecting it so that it does not claim yet
more human sacrifices; and
Third, that the only ultimate
alternative to sacrifices, animal or human, is the one first propounded
millennia ago by the prophets of ancient Israel. No one put it better than
Amos:
Amos 5:23-24 – “Even though you bring Me burnt offerings and offerings of grain, I will not accept them…but let justice roll down like a river, and righteousness like a never-failing stream.”

Shabbat HaGadol and the Healing Message
of the Malachi Parashah
Ismar
Schorsch – “Malachi, who lived in Judea some
time after the return from the Babylonian exile, was the last of the prophets
to make it into the Hebrew canon. We have but a few specimens of his message.
His final words, which constitute our haftarah, relate to the end of days, a
devastation that will spare only those who have remained faithful to God.
The return of Elijah, the prophet who
never died, will both foretell the impending doom as well as provide salvation
from it. In speaking of that day, Malachi uses the Hebrew word “gadol(great)”:
Malachi 3:23 – “So, I will send the
prophet Elijah to you before the coming of the awesome (gadol), fearful day of the
Lord.”
Malachi 3:24 – “He shall reconcile
parents with children and children with their parents, so that when I (the Lord
of Hosts) come, I do not strike the whole land with utter destruction.”
In short, the onset of the Messianic
Era begins at home with Familial Reconciliation.”"
(End of Quote)
In these Times of the
reawakening and Return of the House of Israel, we can look at these
"familial reconciliations" also as applying to the Greater Family
of Israel: The House of Judah and the House of Israel; the proverbial
'Prodigal Son" and the "Faithful Son".
Similarly, we can apply the following recommendations to the desperately poor
relationship between the two Houses of the Family of G-d (The House of Judah
and the House of Ephraim (Lost 10-Israel). In a commentary on Parashat Tzav, Jill
Minkoff of The Acadamy of Jewish Learning notes as follows:
Jill Minkoff – “Malachi’s verses also
speak to this relationship (with G-d) and are as poignant today as during his
lifetime. Rev. Dr. A. Cohen, in commentary on The Twelve Prophets,
describes the Jewish community of Malachi’s era as negligent: the Temple
service was in disrepute, Temple priests were careless with their duties,
people were not tithing appropriately, there was general skepticism and
indifference with regard to religion, morals were lax, and divorce and
intermarriage were common (Dr. A. Cohen,
pg. 335).
Gunther Plaut, in The Haftarah Commentary,
likens this to contemporary times: we often doubt G-d’s presence and justice,
there is instability within communities, and the rate of divorce and
intermarriage has increased (Gunther Plaut pg. 576). With these similarities
across time, Malachi’s messages are still important and meaningful to us. In
Malachi 3:6-7, G-d states:
Malachi 3:6-7 – “…I am
HaShem - I have not
changed… From the very days of your fathers you have turned away from My laws…Turn back to Me, and I will turn back to
you…” [These are very comforting assurances after the Divine Condemnations
and utter Rejections of the normal 'Jeremiah Haftarah'].”
These are words of hope. G-d does not and has not
changed; yet G-d can and is willing to “turn back”, make teshuvah, just as humans can. Cohen emphasizes
that G-d wants (us) to turn from apathy and “rekindle” the spirit of religion;
G-d is not necessarily concerned with the specific detail of ritual (as
found in Parashat Tzav), but with ritual
spirit that shows reverence to G-d (336). This ritual spirit, a process of teshuvah,
is not easy.
“How shall We turn Back?”
In Malachi [3:7]), one is able to uncover the following
seven-step process for teshuvah:
Step 1:
Acknowledge that one has turned away from G-d (3:4-5).
Step 2:
Determine whom the problem involves and who will need to take
the corrective action (3:5-7).
Step 3:
Determine how to take the corrective actions (3:8-9).
Step 4:
Know the reward for changing back to G-d’s ways (3:10-12).
Step 5:
Know that G-d is aware of the current realities and barriers to change
(3:13-16).
Step 6:
Know the consequences of not changing (3:17-21).
Step 7:
Know what to do and do it
(3:22-24).
When Elijah appears (and hopefully before), reconcile
relations between parent and child into a vision of family “unity and
affection” (Plaut pg. 579). Yet, family reconciliation is difficult. Rabbi
Missaghieh points out the immense nature of this challenge. There are no
demonstrations of this teshuvah in biblical narration; so there are no
“good old days” to look back upon and from which to learn (ibid pg. 288).
For us, other additions to this process may include being
aware that a change is needed, understanding the laws of Moses and Israel,
determining how to live according to these laws and rules, embracing the need
to foster family unity, and living accordingly. It is not an easy task. It
never has been.
We, the children of Jacob, must make the first ‘act-ion’
in the process of teshuvah; then God will
also turn and we will finally be face-to-face enjoying the radiance and
blessings that are our due.”

This portion from Malachi, the final
paragraphs of the Tanach) therefore ends with the admonition: “Remember
the law of my servant Moses, the Decrees and Laws I gave him at Horeb for all
Israel.”This Divine Admonition is directed at the
'faithful Remnant':
Malachi 4:16-18 - “Then those who feared HaShem talked with each other, and
HaShem listened and heard. A scroll of remembrance was written in his presence
concerning those who feared HaShem and honored His Name. On the day when I
act,” says HaShem Almighty, ‘they will be my treasured possession. I will spare
them, just as a father has compassion and spares his son who serves him. And
you will again see the distinction between the righteous and the wicked,
between those who serve G-d and those who do not.”
And, under the apt heading that was inserted
into the English Translation of this Final Admonition:
Breaking Covenant by Withholding Tithes
Malachi 4:6-12 – “I HaShem do not change. So you, the
descendants of Jacob [ALL 12 Tribes, both Houses of Israel], are not destroyed. Ever
since the time of your ancestors you have turned away from My Decrees and have
not kept them. Return to me, and I will
return to you,” says HaShem Almighty.
But you ask, ‘How are we to return?’
“Will a mere mortal rob G-d? Yet you rob me.
But you ask, ‘How are we robbing you?’
In tithes and
offerings. You
are under a curse—your whole nation—because you are robbing Me. Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in
My House. Test Me in this,” says HaShem Almighty, “and see if I will not throw
open the floodgates of Heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not
be room enough to store it. I will prevent pests from
devouring your crops, and the vines in your fields will not drop their fruit
before it is ripe,” says HaShem Almighty. ‘Then all the
nations will call you blessed, for yours will be a delightful Land,” says
HaShem Almighty.”
It should be significant
to all those interested in and striving for the Reconciliation of the Two
divided Houses of Israel, that a Divine
Call for Tithing underlies the Final Call of the Bible for the
Final Days towards Redemption!

Israel to their Homeland in Shomron (Samaria), Israel, Contact “Kol Ha’Tor”, the Voice of the Turtledove. Here is a joint Orthodox
Jewish and 10-Triber Mission to bring awareness of the imminent fulfillment of
the Biblical Prophecies regarding the Redemption of all Israel (12 Tribes
Re-conciled and Re-United).
This reunification will truly be the supernal Event of all
Times for it will entail Establishing Shomron (the Ancient Bible Heartland of
the Patriarchs) and the Judean Wilderness as part of the Land of Israel, and
preparing the “Land” for the Return of the Lost Tribes of the House of Israel
and then the Redemption of All Israel.
For inquiries about Kol Ha Tor’s Vision for the Lost Tribes
of Israel, we invite you to make a personal Visit to Israel and stay at “Shomron
Lives!”, a Spiritual Retreat and Guest
House in Samaria, that hosts Shomron (Samaria) Tours to reacquaint the
Returning Lost Tribers of the House of Israel to their future and Prophetic
Homeland.
You are Israel!
The History was Revealed by the Prophets and Confirmed by Archeology, the Judgment of the God of Israel was Sealed as they were Exiled to Khurasan in Northern Iran, Eastern Afghanistan and Western Pakistan. They Disappeared into the Mists of History as they Migrated in Waves up through Georgia through the Caucasus and Followed the Tracks of their Cousin Dan who left his Name on the Rivers of his Passage (Don, Dniester, Dnieper, and the Danube) as they Migrated Northwestward towards Denmark. They Erupted into Northern Europe in the 3rd Century BCE as the Royal Scythians, Celts, Cymrics, Cimmerians, Goths, Angles, Saxons, Ostrogoths, Visigoths and Frisians.
They Populated the Lands of Scandinavia (Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Denmark), the Isles of the West (Britain, Ireland, and Scotland) the Lowlands (Netherlands and Belgium), the Colonies of Great Britain (United States, Canada, Australia, South Africa) plus the Lands of Northern France, and Germany. These today are the Lost Tribes of Israel!
If your Ancestry comes from any of these Lands,
Welcome, You are a “Lost Ten Triber” of the House of Israel!
The Prophets have Proclaimed, at the Time of the End, You will Return Home!
