“In the fifth year
(2013, starting with Rosh Hashanah 2012), there will be plenty (of rain) and
people will eat, drink, and be joyous, and the Torah will return to those who
learned it.”
Now again OvadYah
Avrahami brings us the news of rain in the Land of Israel:
“Thunderstorms
in Israel. Shomron - almost Shavuot and rain is predicted for Shavuot!
OvadYah Avrahami – “It
is Monday evening 15 May. There is thunder and lightning outside and refreshing
rain has been coming down over the last 20 minutes! This type of thunder storm,
which we are used to in South Africa in summer time, is seldom experienced even
in the winter rain season in Israel. The heavy daytime clouds over the
last week and intermittent cool summer weather reminds us of South African
summer weather which is totally different to Israel.
I checked with our Tour Guide who has lived in Shomron for the last 30 years.
"It is unusual." he comments, remarking that a friend, a weather man told
him that he does not recollect ever having had rains at Shavuot time.
A short but strong down pour came on Shabbat,, 3 days ago - while the sun was
shining plus intermittent heavy rain clouds. The weather is cool for this time
of the year - it should have been heavy summer heat already, and on Shabbat, I
had to dress warmer mid-day! Certainly strange to our knowledge!
I have commented on this change recently, posing the question whether perhaps
this may be "The year of Blessing" after Israel's new Gas line to its
abundant new gas fields was also connected right before Pesach (Passover
2013).
Now rain for Shavuot! Somewhere HaShem promises that His Blessings will be more
than we can receive – If?”
Rabbi Yochanan ben
Zaccai of Yavnah wrote the following prophecy just after the destruction of the
city of Jerusalem and the Holy Temple 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.”
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 (Gog-Magog or
Armageddon).”
All across the Land of Israel preceding the Festival of
Shavuot, the Jewish people began the preparation to celebrate the Festival of
Shavuot. This was the day when the G-d of Israel gave to the Children of Israel,
His Torah. This included the Lost Ten
Tribes of the House of Israel and the House of Judah. During that time the Children
of Israel had received a spiritual state of prophecy, with an elevated state of
consciousness where the revelation of the Holy and Divine One of Israel would
have been in the most receptive mode where they received the true revelation of
the Divine and the “Blueprint” of their true existence of reality; the spiritual
neshama soul that was created in the “Image of G-d.”
One of the promises was that someday in the future, Klal
Yisrael, all 12-tribes of the House of Jacob would see that “Land” that had
lain bare of foliage, unwanted by the Ishmaelites, and neglected as a “no-man’s
land” by all the nations of the world, would now witness this same land receiving
rain with great abundance. They would see this awe and premonitions, that they
were witnessing a Divine sign that the G-d of Israel was returning to be with
His chosen people.
What was unknown to them was that that, HaShem, the G-d of Israel
was beginning to unsheathe and uncloak His Divine Existence and reveal to His
Chosen People the revelation that He was their G-d and it was time for them to
become prepared to anticipate with blessings of joy as He unleashes His Divine
Power and Glory as He elevates their existence to a new State of Consciousness.
When the “showers of blessings” are now seen in literal
reality, it will also open up the dawn of new reality to the House of Judah
that their final Redemption must be fully grasped with the fullness it’s
manifestation. Yet, this will only come when the House of Judah and the House
of Israel lay down their suspicions about each other, and join together with
great joy and gladness at the reunion and reunification of the entire House of Jacob. This will be
the sign that Eliyahu the Prophet is arriving to “prepare the way of the L-rd”
as a new state of reality will open up with a new consciousness upon All Israel
(Klal Yisrael).
So as Shavuot is celebrated across the Land of Israel, the
Book of Ruth is also being read. Her life
was a story of redemption that even after an entire nation is cursed by the Divine
for ten generations, so also Ruth the Moabite, the 11th generation was
redeemed and restored as one of the Children of Israel. For her faith and honor
of her aliyah, she was blessed to become the ancestral grandmother of King
David and the Davidian Dynasty of kings from the lineage of Kings David and
Solomon.
This multi-generational “curse” was placed upon the Nation
of Moab whose beginnings began with the incestuous relationship between Lot,
the nephew of Abram and one of his daughters who was rescued by the angels from
the clutches of annihilation when the fiery bolides of sulphur destroyed Sodom
and Gomorrah and destroyed the entire beautiful Vale of Siddim. Ruth, now redeemed after 10 generations of
curses was restored back into the family of Children of Israel.
So today, the 2013 Festival of Shavuot (Pentecost) was
heralded with heavy showers that were accompanied with thunder and lightning in
various locales though the Land of Israel. The weather forecasters were
expecting a high likelihood of flooding in the desert regions of the Negev with
cool temperatures five-to-seven degrees lower in most regions of Israel. It was
also expected that this unseasonably cool season would continue in the days
after the festival season of Shavuot.
The traditional First Fruits ceremonies that was hosted over
a scattering of dozens of kibbutzim were either rained out or rescheduled for over
the weekend. Even so, a majority of the kibbutzim
still held their Shavuot ceremonies as over 200,000 Israelis participated in
the services. Kibbutz Snir in the region
of the panhandle in Northern Galilee were one of many who persisted and held
their ceremonies with the rain drenched skies.
While the Land of Israel was experiencing one of the wettest
winters in decades, 2012, the United States was recording the hottest year ever
record in America. In this same land,
the newly created United States was initially populated by the descendants of
the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel. Today, the descendants of those early Pilgrims
and Puritans that settled the land along the Eastern Seaboard of the United
States today have an unsettled mood in their hearts. The song that they have
sung for decades, “This land is your land, this land if my land,” is now being
sung “This Land is (Not) your Land, this Land is (Not) my land”. From all
prophetic speculations, the era of reunification between the Lost Ten Tribes of
the House of Israel and the Jewish people of the House of Judah was now
imminent.
Called by many “Global Warming”
this warming trend documented in the United States goes back to the official
weather and temperature records that go back to 1895. The yearly average today
is based upon reports documented from more than 1,200 weather stations across
the 48 states on the continental United States. It also was documented by the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration that the year of 2012
experienced the second-most extreme weather in history after the hurricane
dominated year of 1998. Using a complex formula of records that included temperature records,
drought, downpours, and land-falling hurricanes, the national picture depicts that
a true weather change was being experienced in the land once called the “Land
of the Free and the Home of the Brave.”
What was documented in the United States was the fact
that the year of 2012 ranked second to 2011 as having the highest number of
high-damage events to occur. This included eleven different $1billion disasters
led by the Superstorm Sandy and the multi-year long drought across the whole
continent of North America, the worst since the 1950s era of drought and only
slightly behind the Dust Bowl drought and Great Depression of the 1930s.
Blamed upon La Nina and what was erroneously called
“Global Warming”, the true reality appears that it is the hand of G-d’s
judgment that may soon be placed upon this nation’s population of the former immigrants
from the Tribe of Ephraim of the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel. But, it also includes those indigenous peoples
of the Hopi and the Navahos in the Western United States and the Confederation
of the Six “First Nations in America” who were from the Tribe of Manasseh, in
the eastern part of the continent who are both descendants from the House of
Joseph.
There in the land populated by the descendants of the
Tribe of Joseph, Ephraim and Manasseh, we are seeing the most weather extremes
in the past 108 years. Over the last century alone, the temperature trends have
gone upwards to 1.3 degrees according to NOAA. The only year in the 20th
century that was cooler than 2012 was the year of 1997. The last record cold
month of December was 1983. What was even more stunning which the scientists
are calling incredulous, is the evidence of how far above other past “hot
years” the year of 2012 became. In the 117 years of national temperature record
documentation, all previous records were clustered between the temperature degrees
of 51 to 54 degree Fahrenheit, yet 2012 soared well above 55 degrees; a full
degree above the prior record set in 1998.
With this fact in mind, we wonder, will the rabbanim in
2013 proclaim with great joy, as the Prophet Zechariah prophesied over 2,300
years ago, and declare that in 2013 it is now time to “Replace your Feasts of Fasting
with Feasts of Joy and Thanksgiving”, when He asked the Prophet Zechariah to be
His mouthpiece as he penned the following verses in the ancient
Book of Zechariah.
All of have wondered
how the G-d of Israel will bring all the prophetic events to their fulfillment
at the time of the end. Watching the “Finger of the Divine” stirring up nations
of the world is far more fascinating than watching a movie drama. The end
results will be that all nations will pool all their economic resources at the
“gates of Israel” and be prepared to once again to evoke the “Final Solution”
this time amongst the remnant of the Jewish peoples that include all the Jews
of the Diaspora that have fled to Israel as a land of safety before their lives
will be thrust into “the world to come”.
And during this same time, the G-d of
Israel is wooing each one of you, the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel,
to return and be restored back into brotherhood with the Jews of the House of
Judah so that He will send His Messiah to clean house of all the wickedness and
corruption on Planet Earth.

If we think
that the resignation of Pope Benedict XVI was because of any of the scandals
that have been brewing over the past decades, we fail to comprehend the
immensity of the influence of the Vatican around the world. Even so, out of the
European Union’s investigations in money laundering and corruption, the banks
of Europe were hunkered down trying to create a unified banking system for a
New European Union. In the midst of these changes, there eventually came for charges
of corruption against the Vatican and the Vatican Bank, the private bank of the
pope.
In order to
stem the further charges coming from the European Union against Vatican, there
was released a year ago the rumor that on the birthday of Pope Benedict XVI in April
2012, he would be resigning. Along with this tantalizing scent of news, it was
also revealed that there had been a plot to kill Pope Benedict, but the trail
quickly became cold.
Yet suddenly now, Pope Benedict XVI sent
his resignation within six days after a subpoena was served against him that
put himself and the Papacy under the cloud of international allegations and
suspicions. It came as a formal
announcement by State Central Office of
The International Tribunal into Crimes of Church and State (ITCCS
Central) in Brussels that stated that a “certain European government”
was prepared to issue a warrant for the arrest against Ratzinger for “Crimes
against Humanity”. They included the official charges of being responsible for “Ordering
a Criminal Conspiracy” in trying to prevent and hide the investigation of the
child trafficking, torturing and genocide against 50,000 aboriginal Indian
children in Western Canada.
It was the intent of the arrest warrant
that certain public officials within the Vatican, plus another world government
were all responsible for genocide against a native indigenous population and
included the facts that a public lien would be placed against the property of
the Vatican and all its assets by Easter, 2013. As stated in the official announcement made by
“The Second Session
of the International Common Law Court of Justice”, we read:
“On Friday, February 1, 2013, on the basis of evidence
supplied by our affiliated Common Law Court of Justice (itccs.org), our Office
concluded an agreement with representatives of a European nation and its courts
to secure an arrest warrant against Joseph Ratzinger, aka Pope Benedict, for
crimes against humanity and ordering a criminal conspiracy.
This arrest warrant was to be delivered to the office
of the "Holy See" in Rome on Friday, February 15, 2013. It allowed
the nation in question to detain Ratzinger as a suspect in a crime if he
entered its sovereign territory.
A diplomatic note was issued by the said nation's
government to the Vatican's Secretary of State, Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, on
Monday, February 4, 2013, informing Bertone of the impending arrest warrant and
inviting his office to comply. No reply to this note was received from Cardinal
Bertone or his office; but six days later, Pope Benedict resigned.
The agreement between our Tribunal and the said nation
included a second provision to issue a commercial lien through that nation's
courts against the property and wealth of the Roman Catholic Church commencing
on Easter Sunday, March 31, 2013. This lien was to be accompanied by a public
and global "Easter Reclamation Campaign" whereby Catholic Church
property was to be occupied and claimed by citizens as public assets forfeited
under international law and the Rome Statute of the International Criminal
Court.
It is the decision of our Tribunal and the said
nation's government to proceed with the arrest of Joseph Ratzinger upon his
vacating the office of the Roman Pontiff on a charge of crimes against humanity
and criminal conspiracy.
It is our further decision to proceed as well with the
indictment and arrest of Joseph Ratzinger's successor as Pope on the same
charges; and to enforce the commercial lien and "Easter Reclamation Campaign"
against the Roman Catholic Church, as planned.
In closing, our Tribunal acknowledges that Pope
Benedict's complicity in criminal activities of the Vatican Bank (IOR) was
compelling his eventual dismissal by the highest officials of the Vatican."
As the statement continued, the Secretary
of State Tarcisio Bertone immediately forced the immediate resignation of Joseph
Ratzinger (Pope Benedict XVI) in response to the diplomatic message that was
sent to the Vatican of the impending arrest warrant that was being filed by a
“certain country” and would be issued to the Vatican on February 4, 2013. The
final statement by The International
Tribunal into Crimes of Church and State (ITCCS) was quickly covered up by the international press, yet
here is what they wrote:
The International
Tribunal into Crimes of Church and State – “We call upon all citizens and governments to assist
our efforts to legally and directly disestablish the Vatican, Inc. and arrest
its chief officers and clergy who are complicit in crimes against humanity and
the ongoing criminal conspiracy to aid and protect child torture and
trafficking. Further bulletins on the events of the Easter Reclamation Campaign
will be issued by our Office this week.” (Issued 13 February, 2013, 12:00 am
GMT, by the Brussels Central Office ITCCS)
This arrest warrant
was only a tip of the iceberg for on January 30, 2013, the Global Media Release and Advisory from The International
Tribunal into Crimes of Church and State (ITCCS Central) whose international
offices are located in Brussels, Belgium made this international declaration by
the ICLCJ Prosecutor:
Global
Media Release and Advisory – “A final and lasting justice is
owed to the dead and the living victims of the world's least-known and
never-prosecuted Genocide.”
This statement quickly highlighted of the astounding case now
set against the Vatican that was issued upon the conclusion of Canada’s first
independent judicial proceeding that ended earlier on November 6, 2012. There
they laid open the “complete case” complete with “150 exhibits and other
evidence” that established the “legality of proof” that the Canadian Catholic Church
and the State of Canada were guilty of intentional genocide and a criminal
conspiracy. It was there that they laid forth their proof and evidence of the criminal
and conspiracy charges that more than 50,000 aboriginal Native Indian children
in Canada died as the results of these allegations. The summarizations of these
allegations can be viewed in the following video.
Today what is known is that these defendants will be filed
charges against them. They include:
Pope Benedict XVI,
The Vatican plus the Canadian Roman Catholic Church,
The fiduciary offices of the Catholic, Anglican and United
Churches,
The Crown and Queen of England, plus
The prime minister of Canada.
The charges of this international court include:
“Guilt of intentional genocide and criminal conspiracy
against the indigenous children of Canada.”
So what was the purpose of these charges? As summarized by
the ICLCJ advisor to the Office of the Prosecution, Kevin Annett called, “Eagle
Storm Voice”, a minister who lived and worked amongst the low income aboriginal
community in Vancouver, Canada:
Kevin Annett (Eagle Storm Voice) – “Our
aim is nothing less than the disestablishment of the institutions responsible
for the worst Genocide in human history: the planned extermination of
indigenous nations and their children on this (North American) continent."
For two decades, Kevin Annett led a campaign to expose and
eventually bring to the court of justice the evidence of the conspiracy by the
churches and certain governments of “genocide and other crimes against
humanity” across the North American continent. It was also he who became the
co-founder of the International Tribunal into Crimes of Church and State
(ITCCS) and today and consultant and lecturer for numerous indigenous and human
rights groups all around the world.
It was on November, 2012, that Kevin Annett called upon the
58 Citizen Jurors sworn in before the court that eventually brought a guilty
verdict against the defendants; the Pope, the Vatican, Canada, the Crown of
Great Britain and others a “sentence of no less than twenty five years in
prison and the forfeiture of their wealth.”
As Annett stated:
Kevin Annett – “International law
does not suffer genocidal organizations to enjoy tax exemptions, privileges and
legal protection, and actually encourages citizens to shun such bodies. This
Court can do no less, since we stand on the Nuremberg standards and the Rome
Statute”.
Inherent within the legal charges of the Prosecution was the
declaration that it would seek to seize the property and the assets of the Catholic
Churches in Canada and those churches that allied themselves with the Catholic
Church and were charged with the responsibility of the deaths of the aboriginal
native Indian children.
On February 18, 2013, as these charges were announced to the
international press, it appeared that the greatest crisis to strike the Roman
Catholicism since the Reformation was now unfolding as it sought to bring to
its knees the “Seat of Satan” in the Vatican. The action within internal affairs
department of the Vatican, as they were preparing to begin a new “Curia” to
elect a new pope, was immediate. They quickly
rallied the immense international media resources of the Vatican to fight to
save the existence of the international seat of the Roman Catholic Church. In
the first round, it appeared that the Vatican was spiraling out of control.
As
also with the potential legal proceedings pending against the pope on the
international case of the numerous Roman Catholic priest and their sexual abuse
cases that have gone on for several decades, Reuters wrote in the article
titled, “Pope will have
security, immunity by remaining in the Vatican” that forced his retirement, and was
now prepared to live a solitary celibate monastic life within the Vatican walls
in order to protect his potential testimony in any future litigations. As stated:
Reuters – “Pope Benedict's decision to live
in the Vatican after he resigns will provide him with security and privacy. It
will also offer legal protection from any attempt to prosecute him in
connection with sexual abuse cases around the world, Church sources and legal
experts say.
‘His continued presence in the Vatican is
necessary, otherwise he might be defenseless. He wouldn't have his immunity,
his prerogatives, his security, if he is anywhere else,’ said one Vatican
official, speaking on condition of anonymity.
‘It is absolutely necessary’ that he stays in
the Vatican, said the source, adding that Benedict should have a ‘dignified
existence’ in his remaining years.
Vatican sources said officials had three main
considerations in deciding that Benedict should live in a convent in the
Vatican after he resigns on February 28. Vatican police, who already know the
pope and his habits, will be able to guarantee his privacy and security and not
have to entrust it to a foreign police force, which would be necessary if he
moved to another country.”
Yet, the international implications of this arrest warrant quickly
began to spread beyond the walls of the Vatican. Almost at the same time, the Italian
government was also facing its worst political crisis in decades. President
Napolitano came under the pressure by the Vatican to honor its Lateran Treaty
obligations and assist in protecting Pope Benedict XVI by escaping, evading or
obstructing legal laws of international justice.
It was
of interest that on February 15, 2013, three days before these charges were
announced to the international press, the Italian President Giorgio Napolitano
joined President Obama in the Oval Office for a discussion about the deep and
abiding friendship between our two countries. According to the White House
Press, President Obama thanked Italy for their contributions to the NATO
alliance, and called President Napolitano, whose term ends in May, a visionary
leader, “who has helped to guide and steer Europe towards greater unification,
but always with a strong transatlantic relationship in mind.”
Yet
according to the official White House report, the primary focus of the
conversation was on the world economy and President Obama's plan to pursue a
U.S.-European Union free trade agreement, which he discussed in his State of
the Union address earlier this week.
President
Napolitano expressed enthusiasm for the proposed agreement, saying he believes
it will represent “a relevant contribution for promoting a new wave of
development of technologic advancement of social justice on both shores of the
Atlantic. And I think it can represent even something more. It is to say a new
historic stage in relations between Europe and the United States -- not only
economically, but also from a political and moral point of view.”
Unknown
were all the back-door communications that were cascading around the world.
There was no doubt that the arrest warrant as on the agenda of this White House
visit by Italian President Napolitano when he met with Barak Hussein Obama. There was no doubt also a discussion of the impending
international legal threats now against Pope Benedict and the Vatican. Yet,
could these same charges also be aimed next at the United States and its
treatment of the Aboriginal Native American Indians in America?
This
fact was brought forth in the 23rd day of February, when Pope Benedict
XVI met with the Italian President Giorgio Napolitano, just after Napolitano’s
meeting with American President Barak Hussein Obama in the White House
concerning his “protection and immunity from prosecution from the Italian
government.” As written in a recent news piece:
LatinoRebels – “According
to the International Tribunal into Crimes of Church and State (ITCCS)
—a group that speaks out against the “abuse, trafficking, torture and murder of
children” which “appears endemic to European culture, and continues to be
actively practiced, and condoned and protected, by church, state, judicial and
police forces around the globe”— it is claiming that Benedict will be meeting with Italian
President Giorgio Napolitano on “Saturday, February 23 to discuss
securing protection and immunity from prosecution from the Italian government.”
The ITCCS piece attributes “Italian media sources.”
This historical past of abuse and death of Native American
Indians includes in part also the story of the “Trail of
Tears (1830-1858)” where as documented in Wikipedia – “Trial
of Tears”, the United States’ past residents of the White House drove
the Native American Indians of the “Five Civilized Tribes” called the Cherokee,
Muscogee (Creek), Seminole, Chickasaw, and Choctaw Nations from their tribal
homelands in 1831 in what was called the Indian Removal Act of 1830 by President
Andrew Jackson.
By the year of 1837,
46,000 of these Native American Indian’s rights were abrogated and cast aside
for the American government did confisticate their farmlands and ranch lands and
forced the Indians to be relocated into what are now called Indian tribal reservations
during the 19th to the 20th centuries. They thereby
opened up 23 million acres to be settled by White American settlers who were
predominately descendants of the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel.
In an indictment of the American democracy, the French
philosopher, Alexis de Tocqueville wrote in his memoirs in 1831 about this removal
of the Choctaw Indians from Memphis, Tennessee:
Alexis
de Tocqueville – “In the whole scene there was
an air of ruin and destruction, something which betrayed a final and
irrevocable adieu; one couldn't watch without feeling one's heart wrung. The
Indians were tranquil, but sombre and taciturn. There was one who could speak
English and of whom I asked why the Chactas were leaving their country.
"To be free," he answered, could never get any other reason out of
him. We ... watch the expulsion ... of one of the most celebrated and ancient
American peoples.” – Alexis de Tocqueville, Democracy in America.
As an unnamed American Georgia solder, remarked during the
Trail of Tears and quoted in Robert Remini’s documentary book:
Robert Remini – “I fought through
the War Between the States and have seen many men shot, but the Cherokee
Removal was the cruelest work I ever knew.” – Remini, Robert (2000),
“Invasion”, The Earth Shall Weep: A History of Native America. Grove Press. P.
170)
According to sources
within the Vatican as
reported on the website of the International Common Law Court of Justice, the
hierarchy of the Vatican has been stalling and a diplomatic fortress wall of
defense has been erected:
The
International Common Law Court of Justice – “Meanwhile,
keeping an accused Joseph Ratzinger under their protection in defiance of
international law, the Vatican's Secretariat of State under Cardinal Bertone is
delaying their response to a Diplomatic communique from a European government
notifying Rome of impending legal action against Ratzinger.
According
to a source who is a liaison with the said government, no official reply has
been issued by Bertone's office to the February 4 communique, nor is the
Secretariat even engaged in back-channel communications on the matter.
‘They
are pretending the Diplomatic Note never arrived, and that business is normal
leading up to their Conclave to choose their next pope. They must maintain an
appearance of stability right now, we are assuming’ said the liaison source.”
Yet, even as the Vatican
has remained silent, immediately the Catholic Church dominated national media
in Italy began its assault upon the ITCCS and Kevin Annett. As reported by the
ITCCS Central in Brussels as the ITCCS was preparing for public occupations of
Catholic church properties in Canada starting on Sunday, March 24, 2013:
ITCCS Central – Brussels – “The
ITCCS website traffic has exceeded 300,000 "hits" in the past several
days, and legal and political help is pouring in to the Tribunal, especially
from Italy and the United States.
In an article posted by Kevin Annett titled, “Genocide in Canada
– Even the Official Whitewash now Admits that Thousands of Children died…but
when will Criminal charges be laid?” that was
published on February 19, 2013,
it was admitted by the “Truth and Reconciliation Commission” (TRC) that
thousands of Canadian Native Indians actually did die in Catholic church run
Indian residential schools all across Canada between the years of 1891 and 1949
when the Roman Catholic Church ran and controlled the schools without any
government control or supervision.
During that time more than 50,000 Indian children never returned home.
This was not the 3,000 claimed by the State of Canada, which is less than 2% of
the actual death rate as gained by the historical and living testimony of the
descendants of the aboriginal Native Indians of Canada. As charged by the ITCCS and their advocate,
Kevin D. Annett:
Kevin D. Annett – “European Holocaust Deniers would be
proud of Canada's TRC. To have the gall to even suggest such a ludicrously low
death rate – when every government record and all our
posted evidence shows that as early as the first year of the western
residential schools, the death rate averaged between 30% and 50% – shows how
deep the rot of deceit extends into the stage-managed TRC.
The death rate of 50% continued for at least six
decades in these "schools": from 1891 to 1949, when a top government
official commented on that huge mortality. 50,000 or more kids never returned –
not 3000.
This Big Lie strategy by the church and
state-established TRC has worked up until now, but their deception has worn
thin. Like the Vatican, the Canadian government must feel especially desperate
to risk announcing such a proven lie and exposing such an obvious cover-up.
Regardless, all the TRC has done today is to prove
that their work constitutes a criminal conspiracy to subvert and obstruct
justice. Their duplicity has indicted their government and church sponsors
before the law and the world. This latest act of official deception will figure
as more evidence of deliberate cover-up in the docket of our upcoming Common
Law Court case against Canada and its Catholic and Protestant churches. In the
months ahead, it won't just be former Popes who go to trial for conspiracy and
child murder.”
This tragedy continued even into the
1960s in the Kamloops and Mission "Indian residential schools" during
the mid 1960's. For this reason, the next link will reveal the inside story of
reported genocide of Canada’s children that disappeared while entrusted to the
care of the Roman Catholic hierarchy of Canada.
Some people consider that the “time of
the End” will be a day of great catastrophes as the judgments of G-d will come
down upon Planet Earth for its people will be steeped in depravity and
wickedness. Yet, according to the sages of Judah, the end of days will not come
as an “event” but as a long drawn out process where bit by bit the citizens of
this planet will have to make their choices between “service to others” or
service to self” or “service to G-d” or “service to the Forces of Evil”
controlled by Satan himself. These will
be the days when the chaff will be separated from the wheat, and where the
sheep will be separated between the goats.
This will be a day when righteousness
will be seen as evil and the depravity of mankind will rise up as the accepted
morality of the modern culture of self adulation. In a way, we today are the jurors of the
world as the G-d of Israel is beckoning us to judge the “70 Nations of the Gentile
World.” As their actions repel us, will
we as the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel turn from our own self
centered ways? Will we be so inclined to
return in teshuvah (repentance) to the ways of Torah righteousness?
Here then is where our human soul’s
greatest commandment (mitzvah) will
be to preserve human life and our spiritual Lost Israelite soul (neshama Israeli) should be “Fear G-d and
give glory to Him.”
Yet what is missing is the realization
that every one of these events that are cascading around us in this world is
part of the Ikvot Meshicha (footsteps
of the Messiah). This process of redemption assists each of us daily, hour by
hour by the Maschiach ben Yosef
(Messiah son of Joseph) for this messianic era is a divine “process”, not an
“event” that will inch our way in tiny increments towards the final redemption
in the “World to Come” or the “Great Shabbat”.
It is important to know that one of the
great deceiver institutions in the past two thousand years has been the tyranny
of Rome, inherited later by Apostate Roman Christianity. This institution will
someday be destroyed, but let us not get too excited, for there is one pope
left to rule; Petrus Romanus (Peter the Roman).
The high likelihood that the new pope will be a
Jesuit or beholden to the Jesuit, Society of Jesus is a given
for here is the seat of the Great Shabbatean heresy in Judaism when Shabbatai Tzevi declared
that he would become the final Messiah on June (6th month) 18th
(6+6+6) in the year of 1666 (1000 + 666).
Understand fully that in the Great Drama
of the Ages, the forces of evil, even though they are directed by the power of
HaSatan or the Great Deceiver, it is only done at the permission and behest of
HaShem, the Divine, G-d of Israel. It is the finger of G-d that is directing
everything that is happening in the geo-politics and the spiritual warfare on
earth today. That is the reason why redemption appears to be so close, and then
it becomes hidden, for the final redemption must be brought to its full
conclusion in a round-about manner so that the demonic forces of evil that seek
to sabitoge us will be circumvented and they will be prevented from interfering
in our final pathway to salvation.
The Cosmic Clock is closing in upon the
end of the era of satanic evil and the beginning of the great “day of the
L-rd”. At this time the Torah Light will shine forth in its greatest and
fullest manifestation with the manifestation of the Mashiach ben Dovid (Messiah
son of David). To get to that final hour, the Ikveta d’Meshicha, the Footstep or Heels of the Messiah that is
identified with the Messiah son of Joseph is now moving our world stealthily
towards that final hour when redemption will be here and apparent to all.
This messianic force called the “footsteps
of the messiah” will have effectively deceived and kept the (egoistic) forces
of evil that surround our lives like the husk surrounds the wheat berry from
consuming us for this impure shield, called the klipat, or the “evil inclination” literally surrounds our
lives. It seeks to cut mankind from its
true spiritual reality and seal Planet Earth from heaven. When this evil
spiritual force called the klipat is
overcome, then HaShem, the G-d of Israel will reveal the awesome Messianic
Light hidden beneath His Throne of Glory.
The mini-drama occurring in this
messianic age, the resignation of the Jewish Pope, Benedict
XVI, who was a descendant of the famous
Jewish rabbi called the Maharal of Prague is but one
of many mini-dramas that will be performed at these final hours of earth’s
history of man. It may cause the dissolution of the Vatican as we know it to
be, when founding patron of apostate Roman Christianity disappears and is morphed
into a more powerful and sinister force of evil. Yet, let us not fail to
comprehend that the Light of the Messiah cannot be fully revealed until sin is
revealed in its fullest manifestations. At that time, the Force of Evil,
HaSatan will be fully revealed and this era of evil will be over.
************
The Battle for the Minds of the Human Race is now coming to
its fullest revelation. The forces of Darkness will battle with the Forces of
HaShem’s angels of Light as the final battle for the souls of men are played
out on Planet Earth. Out of these epic war will come the restoration and
redemption of All Israel; the Ten Lost Tribes of the House of Israel and the
Jews of the House of Judah.
The Roman Catholic Church has been a major part of this
Drama of the Ages and will continue to do so until the Final Act of that Divine
Drama. It will include the Jews of the House of Israel, the Lost Sheep of the
Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Northern Israel; both of the House of Jacob
(Israel). It will also include the Roman Edomites of the House of Esau, the
brother of Jacob of the House of Isaac. It will also include the Arabs of the
House of Ishmael, the brother to Isaac of the House of Abraham.

the leadership of Kol Ha Tor do not necessarily agree with everything we have

Messiah son of David comes to give us full insight into what is happening to
our lives and our world today, we may know only in part while we continue to
support the rabbanim of Israel and seek reconciliation with the Jews of the
House of Israel until we are finally one family; the family of our Patriarchs
Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
This reunification will truly be a super Event of all Times that
will entail Establishing the 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

and their Reconciliation with Judah to form the reunited 12-Tribed Kingdom of

This week's Parashah brings us to the end of the Book of
Genesis and concludes the Process of Election (Bechirah). We have traced the Divine Election for channeling
the Blessing of Abraham, through its family tracks, through Yitzchak (Isaac)
and Ya'acov (Jacob), to the 70 family members who went down into Egypt. They
would form the nucleus of the Nation to come at the End Time, amongst whom G-d
would have a righteous Ruling Body to rule in His forthcoming Universal
Kingdom.
Our next Parashot, from the Book of Exodus (Schmot), will be
tell how these 70 souls multiply, become a multitude, become enslaved in Egypt
and eventually redeemed - all as a metaphor of the Ultimate future Redemption
at the final fulfillment of Abraham's Blessings in a multitude of nations.
Our Parashah opens with Ya'acov passing the Abrahamic Blessing
onto the two sons of Yosef; Ephraim & Menasha - a double Blessing. Menasha
would become a “great nation” but Ephraim would become a “group of nations”.
Scripture confirms (as do Rabbinic interpretation) that ‘Ephraim’ becomes the
Group Name for the Ten Tribes of Israel which would later be exiled and
intermingled into oblivion amongst the Nations.
Genesis 49:1 – “Then Ya'acov called
for his sons and said: ‘Gather around so
I can tell you what will happen to you in days to come.’
This week's Parashah then features Ya'acov's series of Main
Prophecies for the Times of Final Redemption - though with limitation on what
he may reveal. These Prophecies are of vast magnitude and we will simply touch
on one area of it - an important and captivating insight into the Times ahead
of us, as we approach the Final Redemption.
The Evil That Will Befall Israel in ‘The Last Days’
DISCLAIMER - While we reproduce the following
commentary for its relative value to interpretation of the Parashah, KOL HATOR
does not necessarily agree with the views expressed by the authors thereof. The
authors also are not associated with KOL HA'TOR and need not agree with our
views and commentaries expressed in our publications.
[ Part 1)
This article and the related teaching are based mostly on a
video link in an Israeli newspaper a few years ago. The research was done by
Orthodox Jews living in Israel, in August 2008, more than two months before the US presidential election of
November 2008. To arrive at their conclusions, they have used one of the Rabbinic
interpretation methods of Gematriah.
Gematriah is a Hebrew concept by which interpretations are
derived from the numerical values of words or phrases of the Torah and the
Scriptures. The Hebrew words of the Torah contain so much depth, meaning and
truth, which English words cannot generally teach or explain and which also
conceal incredible mysteries and astounding prophecies. Hebrew letters have
numerical values. By comparing the numerical value of different words or
phrases used in the Bible, the process of Gematriah portends deeper
revelationary meanings which seem to be Divinely built into the Hebrew
Scriptures like a mathematical formula underlying all.
Gematriah is not
‘evil numerology’ as most Christians assume. Christian interpreters of
their ‘New Testament’ are heavily engaged in exactly the same procedure in
trying to resolve one of its most popular clues for identifying the Personage
of ‘the man of Evil’ who is to arise in ‘The Time of the End.’ Various
interpreters using similar methods of numerical interpretation, have for ages
been suggesting the names of various famous people to fit the popular ‘sign of
the beast, “which is the number of a man - 666”
Some additional information and / or explanations have been
added to the article, in order to help those who do not read Hebrew or know
certain Hebraic concepts used in the Scriptures, to have a more clear and
better understanding.
Jewish Perspective: Obama and the Evil at the End of Days
IDENTIFYING THE EVIL AT THE END OF DAYS
By Joel Gallis and Dr. Robert Wolf [
Israel ]
The coded, end of days message that Ya'akov gave over to his
sons (Gen. 49) was not deciphered by them. But our generation, the generation
alive at the end of days, can understand the clues and break the code [ref.
Daniel 12:3, 4]. Ya’akov (Jacob) called for his sons and said:
Genesis 49:1 - “Gather and assemble
yourselves together and I will proclaim to you what will befall you [your
descendants] in the Last Days.”
That is, unify and become a single nation with “ONE HEART” (
lev echad לב אחד) and I will tell you about your
descendants' REDEMPTION ( Geulah גאולה ) in the LAST DAYS.
The Gematriah of the phrase “ONE
HEART” ” (lev echad לבאַחד ) is calculated as = Total 45.
The Gematriah of the word
“REDEMPTION” ( Geulah גאולה ) is calculated as = Total 45.
Thus both “ONE HEART” and
“REDEMPTION” have a Gematriah of 45.
[This emphasizes the importance of UNITY to attain
Redemption. See 'Main Conclusion' at end of this commentary']
But there was no UNITY among the brothers. There still were
bad feelings and finger pointing among them. They did REPENTANCE (Teshuvah תשובה
) with respect to their brother Joseph but with respect to each other, they
were separate tribes. And so, Jacob could not reveal to them what would befall
their DESCENDANTS.
[Bear in mind also, that they were well aware of the Divine
Promise that their descendants would grow into uncountable numbers, as nations
with kings. The rivalry amongst these first Patriarchs of Israel is obvious
from the way they treated Yosef who indicated his leadership amongst them. This
rivalry remained a great reason for division amongst the 12 Tribes of Israel
throughout time. It also was the main reason for the splitting of the ancient
12-Tribed Kingdom of Israel into two, viz. the House of Judah (with Benjamin)
and the House of ‘Israel’ – that is, the Biblical term used for the Northern
10-Tribes AFTER the split. UNITY should therefore be the Final Goal for those
who await the Return of the Shechinah (visible Presence) of G-d before the Redemption
can be brought about].
“IN THE LAST DAYS” [b’achareet
ha-yahmim בְאַחֲרִּית היָמִּים
].
Ya’akov thought that perhaps one of his sons had sinned. So
he then searched the names of each of his 12 sons to see if the letters ח { chet } or ט { tet }, the main letters of the word “To SIN” [l’cha-toh לחטוא] were present in any of his son’s names. He
was relieved when he realized that these letters were absent from their names.
He then thought that perhaps their LACK of UNITY (lack of oneness of heart),
was worse than he imagined. If so, their merit to learn about the future final
redemption was lost.
Yaakov then searched their names again to see if the letters
ק { Kof } and ץ [Tzahdi-final] from the word “End” [ kaytz קץ ] were present in
any of their names. Once again these letters were absent from all 12 names.
Yaakov then realized the extent of their DISUNITY and began
to give blessings and or make prophecies over each of the sons. Although he was
not allowed to tell about events affecting their descendants [Israel – being
the 12 Tribes re-united in Peace], for thousands of years into the future, he
had already hinted at the IDENTITY of the EVIL that would befall their
DESCENDANTS -- IN THE LAST DAYS. He also hinted that the lack of unity that
they possessed would continue until those LAST DAYS.
The Gematriah of “GATHER” (
hay-ahs-poo הֵאָסְפו ) is 152.
While the phrase ”UNTIL THIS DAY”
(ad ha-yom ha-zeh עד היום הזה) is also the Gematriah
of 152, for UNTIL THIS DAY,
there still has NOT been “ONE HEART among Israel.
However, there was one brief period of time of “ONE HEART”
at Mount Sinai, when the Israelites received the Torah. This unity lasted until
Moshe’s (Moses’s) death, and because of it, Moshe was able to tell the
Israelites before he died, what will happen to their DESCENDANTS IN THE LAST
DAYS. Moses declared that the Israelites would turn away from the path of the
Torah [ not “law”, but Instructions ] of Elohim, and that they would provoke
Him to anger “BY THE WORK OF YOUR HANDS” (b’mah-ahsay yaday-chem במעֲשֵה יְַדֵיכֶם ), “AND IT SHALL BEFALL” (
veh-kah-raht וקָרָאת ) you EVIL, IN
THE LAST DAYS.
Deuteronomy 31:29 – “For I know that
after my death you will become utterly corrupt, and turn aside from the way
which I have commanded you. And evil WILL BEFALL YOU in the LAST DAYS,
because you will do evil in the sight of HaShem, to provoke Him to anger BY THE
WORK OF YOUR HANDS.”
Normally the Hebrew word which would be used in a sentence
like this would be “To CALL / To PROCLAIM” ( yik-ra יִּקְרָא
), which is what Jacob used when he spoke to his 12 sons in Genesis 49:1
above.
Yet Moses uses the word “AND IT SHALL BEFALL” (veh-kah-raht
וקָרָאת ) instead!
Why? [ a mystery revealed ]
The only other time this variation of the word: “AND IT
SHALL BEFALL” (veh-kah-raht ) is used in the entire Torah [ Five Books of Moses
], is when Hagar was told that she would have a son, and was told by the
Messenger of HaShem to call his name Ishmael. [ Is this a co-incidence? We do
NOT think so! ]
Genesis 16:10-12 - “Then the
messenger [ “angel” ] of HaShem said to her, ‘I will multiply your descendants
exceedingly, so that they shall not be counted for multitude.’ And the messenger of HaShem said to her: ‘Behold,
you are with child, and you shall bear a son. ‘AND YOU SHALL CALL’ (
veh-kah-raht ) his name Ishmael, because HaShem has heard your affliction. He
shall be a wild man; his hand shall be against every man, and every man’s hand
against him. And he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.”
This Prophecy certainly seems to describe the descendants of
Ishmael -- Arabs and Muslims. They are against everyone in almost every nation
where they live, and their hand, by the sword of Islam in their hands, is
against everyone.
This word “AND IT SHALL BEFALL” ( veh-kah-raht ), which is
normally connected to proclaiming and voicing something ( ”AND YOU SHALL CALL”
), is mysteriously used by Moses in just two places in the entire Torah (Genesis
16:11 and Deuteronomy 31:29), but with different meanings in each case.
This tells us that when evil befalls the Israelites
(their descendants), in the LAST DAYS, it was proclaimed in Heaven
and does not happen by chance.
Both Jacob (in Genesis 49:1) and Moses (in Deuteronomy
31:29) prophesied that some horrifying “EVIL WILL BEFALL” the sons of Jacob /
the children of Israel, IN THE LAST DAYS. Thus, the prophecy was essentially
given two times. In the second instance, the words of Moses are more specific
and also include a mysterious, but alarming detail.
Moreover, since Moses uses the exact same word (in Deut
31:29) that is used in naming Ishmael (in Gen 16:11), we ask ourselves: So what
then is the PHYSICAL and SPIRITUAL connection between the “EVIL THAT WILL
BEFALL” the sons of Jacob / the children of Israel IN THE LAST
DAYS -- and ISHMAEL?
The answer is very clear and simple: the descendants of
ISHMAEL (and his brothers) are the EVIL that will befall the
descendants of JACOB / the descendants of Israel – IN THE LAST DAYS.
HOW will this happen?
Israel will provoke Elohim to anger; “BY THE WORK OF YOUR
HANDS.”
This phrase “BY THE WORK OF YOUR
HANDS” has a Gematriah of 501.
The ISHMAELITES ( Yish-meh-ay-leem יִּשְׁמְעֵאלִּים ) also has a Gematriah of 501.
[ Is this a co-incidence ? We do NOT think so! ]
The fact that the Gematriah of both of these two words /
phrases is 501, and that they
are found in the same two verses (Gen 16:11 and Deut. 31:29) which are already
connected by “AND IT SHALL BEFALL” (veh-kah-raht) (Deut. 31:29) “AND YOU SHALL
CALL” (veh-kah-raht) (Gen 16:11), further strengthens and confirms the PHYSICAL
and SPIRITUAL connection in the prophecies by Jacob and Moses -- that the EVIL
that shall befall the DESCENDANTS of Jacob / Israel -- in the Last Days --
shall be from the descendants of Ishmael.
[ Comment - Yet now, with this
awesome understanding, we still have only part of the mystery solved. There is
still more. We need to understand what exactly the descendants of Israel will
do to provoke HaShem to anger “BY THE WORK OF YOUR HANDS”.
So what could we, the children of
Israel, have possibly done, “BY THE WORK OF YOUR HANDS”, that would anger
Elohim so much?
With our very own hands, we finance
and work to put the wrong people in power over us. This action results in our
downfall. By putting into power leaders in Israel who don’t believe in Elohim,
we help bring about a spiritual collapse.
And by electing dangerous and
hateful leaders in America ( USA ) and in other countries, we assist in
bringing about both our physical and spiritual downfall even more.
We raise money for them, we vote for
these people and we put them in power. This evil work of our hands will
bring PUNISHMENT from Elohim and evil upon us from the ISHMAELITES
(Yish-mehayleem יִּשְׁמְעֵאלִּים).
We have also seen lately how the
Israel leaders have capitulated and bent before the demands of Obama by signing
a Peace Agreement with the terrorist rulers of Gaza, Hamas, and with the
president of Egypt, Muhammed Morsi, who’s declared vow is to conquer Jerusalem
for Islam.
Morsi will also be the future
overseer of the Peace Treaty. In this way Israel’s leaders have acknowledged
Hamas’s terrorist rule and raised Morsi to a great Peacemaker in the opinion of
the world.]
(End of Comment)
Thus not only is 501
the Gematriah of: “BY THE WORK OF YOUR HANDS”;
But the ( EVIL ) THAT WILL BEFALL us IN THE LAST DAYS – that
is, our PUNISHMENT, will be by the descendants of ISHMAELITES, which also has a
Gematriah of 501.
And all of this is also connected to the president of the
United States, that many descendants of Jacob / Israel actually helped put in
power through their finances and efforts ( promoting and voting) – “BY THE WORK
OF YOUR HANDS”.
“BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA” are PHYSICALLY and SPIRITUALLY
connected together, as they all have a Gematriah of 501.
Connecting all of this together, we have:
“The HEAD of the (descendants of
the) ISHMAELITES is BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA who will bring the EVIL THAT WILL
BEFALL the (descendants of) Jacob (BOTH Houses of Israel, all 12 Tribes) in the
Last Days for the evil WORK OF THEIR HANDS.”
HaShem watched as countless Jews, all over the United
States, rushed to send their money to Obama’s campaign chest and helped promote
and advise his campaign. Today, many Jews are in his cabinet, including
Emmanuel, Axelrod, Geitner and Bernanke. And so, with our own hands, we took a
DESCENDANT from Yishmael and placed him as our HEAD in the White House, just 7
years after 9/11.
Accordingly, he (Obama) is indeed a great EVIL THAT WILL
BEFALL the Jewish people, the DESCENDANTS of Jacob, “IN THE LAST DAYS”, the
EVIL that Jacob and Moses prophesied about to our ancestors.
[ Reawakening and re-identifying Ten
Tribers today, should not count themselves detached from the reason for bringing
this Evil upon Israel as recompense for “THE WORK OF THEIR HANDS”, while
pointing fingers to “the evil works of Judah” (Jews) only. They also voted for
Obama who has not proven himself the friend of Israel, but rather of Islam
(Ishmaelites). Today’s re-identifying Ten Tribers also do not show an open hand
of physical support for rebuilding the Land of Israel because of their
criticism of orthodox Rabbinic and non-Jesus-accepting spiritual leadership of
Israel. This all to the discredit of “THE WORK OF THEIR HANDS.” ]
But there are those who argue that Obama is youthful and
energized in his appearance and his ideas. Why shouldn’t we believe him when he
says the magic words that he is a friend of Israel?
How do we really know he is dangerous to us?
Not only does the name, Barack Hussein Obama), have the same
Gematriah 501 as ISHMAELITES,
evidencing that he is a Muslim, although he denies it (watch the video given at
the end of the article), but it also has a further connection to a wave of
impending evil against Israel and the rest of the world. This we explain below
in more detail:
At our Passover Seders, we spill a drop of wine when we
mention each of the TEN Plagues, and also when we mention the abbreviation of
those plagues by saying באחב עדש דצּכ
[ This Hebrew acronym is made up of the first letters (with
one surprising exception), of each of the Ten Plagues which HaShem judged the
land of Egypt with, at the time of the Exodus of the Israelites. The following
list is also not in the original article, but included here to help people
better see and understand how such Hebrew acronyms work.
blood ( dahm ד
) (Exodus 7:17-25);
frogs (
tzeh-fahr-day-ah צ ) Exodus 8:1-15);
gnats / lice (
kih-nahm כ ) (Exodus 8:16-19);
flies ( ah-rohv
ע ) (Exodus 8:20-32);
pestilence (
deh-vehr ד ) (Exodus 9:1-7);
boils (
sheh-cheen ש ) (Exodus 9:8-12);
hail ( bah-rahd
ב ) (Exodus 9:13-35);
locusts (
ahr-beh א ) (Exodus 10:1-20);
darkness (
choh-shech ח ) (Exodus 10:21-29);
killing of the
first-born ( machat beh-choh-roht מכת בכרות) (Exodus
4:22-23, 11:1-10).
The Gematriah of this acronym for the Ten Plagues in Egypt is calculated as; 501.
So we see that this acronym of the Ten Plagues also
has a Gematriah of 501, the same
as both the name, Barack Hussein Obama, “HEAD” and ISHMAELITES.
From all of these things, we learn that the Torah teaches us
that Obama and radical Muslims will bring as much tribulation, destruction and
confusion to the world, at the time of the end, IN THE LAST DAYS -- as all the
TEN ( 10 ) plagues together brought to Egypt.
[ HaShem used all of those plagues
and judgments on Egypt, in order to bring about the RELEASE of His People,
12-Tribed Israel, to bring them out in the First Exodus, to the Promised Land.
This is referred to as the Redemption of His People, ancient Israel. Although
those plagues were brought about by G-d in order to bring about their release,
the Israelites had to equally endure the plagues upon the land of Egypt. Their
only protection was under the 10th Plague, the death of the First-born of each
family – the Plague which ensured their Release. (Note the author’s special
application for this 10th Plague for purposes of the Gematriah formula
interpretation … see 3rd par. from here).
Likewise, HaShem will use the forthcoming
tribulation and destruction in the world (which relates to spiritual ‘Egypt’,
amongst whom His Lost Ten Tribes and Lost - unidentified and assimilated - Jews
are held captive in exile). In this way He will bring about, the Second Exodus
(Regathering of His 12 Tribes from amongst all the nations, for the FINAL
REDEMPTION of His people Israel) ].
Moreover, the prophecy of the messenger of G-d to Hagar
about Ishmael was that: "He will be a wild donkey of a man, his hand will
be against everyone, and everyone's hand will be against him.” We see this
happening all over the world IN THESE LAST DAYS.
[ It is interesting to note how
Rabbi Yehudah, who made the acronym or abbreviation of the Ten Plagues, took
the FIRST Hebrew letter of each of the first NINE ( 9 ) plagues. However, with
respect to the TENTH and LAST PLAGUE, the KILLING of the FIRST-BORN (machat
b’choroht), he took the FIRST letter of the SECOND word of the plague – the Hebrew letter Beit ב, for
‘first-born’, instead of the
FIRST letter of the FIRST word -
Mem , for ‘the killing of’.
This letter Beit refers to the subject of the sentence, the ‘first-born’;
Which also is the subject of the Release of Israel from
slavery and their proceeding in the Exodus from Egypt to the Promised Land.
The topic of the ‘first-born’ is an extremely
important factor in reference to Redemption in Judaism.
Noteworthy also is that ‘Ephraim’ is the group
name used in the Bible for the Ten Tribes and as such, the Ten Tribes to be
re-identified and Returned to their heritage and to the Land in the End Time,
holds a special role of esteem by HaShem.
Through their father Yosef, Ephraim and Manasheh received a
double portion of inheritance in the Promised Land, according to the Rights of
the first-born. Yosef, regarded in Scripture as the first-born through his
mother Rachel, beloved wife of Jacob, is also regarded in Judaism as a
proto-type or metaphor for the Ten Tribes which were torn away from the Kingdom
of Israel and rejected by G-d for their rivalry with and rejection of the
judicial authority of Judah. There remains a Divine Oath though for their
re-acceptance and Return to the Land by G-d at the Time of the establishment of
the Messianic Kingdom to rule over the earth.
It is evident that this ‘501’ Time
of Trouble for Israel (all 12 Tribes?) will be used in the likeness of the
ancient Ten Plagues, to Return the Lost Israelites and Jews to the Promised
Land in a Second Exodus which will be even greater than the first!
Jeremiah 16:14-15 –
“The
days are coming, declares HaShem when it will no longer be said, ‘As surely as
HaShem lives, Who brought the Israelites up out of Egypt,’ but it will be said,
‘As surely as HaShem lives, Who brought the Israelites up out of the land of
the north and out of all the countries where he had banished them.’ For I will
restore them to the land I gave their ancestors.”
The wisdom of Rabbi Yehudah in
selecting the 2nd letter which refers to the first born, is therefore evident.]
The coded, End of Days message, that Yaakov (Jacob) gave to
his sons was not understood by them. But our generation, the generation which
is today and alive in these Last Days, which both Yaakov (Jacob) and Mosheh
(Moses) prophesied about, can now understand the clues and decipher the codes.
G-d told Daniel that His words would be concealed and the Prophecies of His
Book sealed or kept hidden from understanding -- until the Time of the End, that is. in the Last Days.
Now that we are living in the very Time of the End, G-d is
opening up the words and the Prophecies of the Book of Daniel, along with so
many other Prophecies, so that we can understand and interpret them.
Daniel 12:1-5 - “At that time Michael
will stand, the great [heavenly] prince who stand in support for the members of
your people, and there will be a TIME OF TROUBLE, such as there had never been
since there was a nation until that time. But at that time your people will
escape; everything that is found written in this book in this book [will
occur].
Many of those who sleep in the dusty
earth will awaken; these for everlasting life and those for shame, for
everlasting abhorrence. The wise will shine like the radiance of the firmament,
and those who teach righteousness to the multitudes [will shine] like the
stars, forever and ever.
As for you, Daniel, obscure the
matters and seal the book until the time of the End; let many muse and let
knowledge increase.”
In Yaakov’s (Jacob’s) statement and prophecy to his 12 sons
(in Genesis 49:1 above and following), there are FIVE words (in Hebrew): “what
- WILL BEFALL - YOU - in the LAST - DAYS”.
The word translated “WHAT”
(or ‘that which’) is ‘ashare’ אשר. [ It has the
exact same three Hebrew letters as the word “HEAD’. ] Nevertheless it still has a Gematriah of 501 being the sum of the same three
numerical values. Jacob’s prophecy is talking about WHAT EVIL shall befall the DESCENDANTS of Jacob / Israel in the
LAST DAYS
This is because the Hebrew word translated as “WHAT” (ah-sher) can also be translated
as “WHO”. This is word or phrase
[ 5. ] in our calculations that has a Gematriah of 501. And with this understanding, the prophecy by Jacob further explains
and identifies the EVIL -- THAT
WILL BEFALL the descendants of Jacob / Israel in the LAST DAYS by the “HEAD” (
rohsh ) of the Ishmaelites. That “WHO”
is: Barack Hussein Obama, whose
name we have already learned has the same Gematria of 501. [ How can this be just another co-incidence? ]
[ and if this were not enough, there is yet even one more
strange co-incidence as we close… ]
When we look carefully at the word for “IN THE LAST” ( beh-ah-chah-reet בְאַחֲרִּיתַ ) we notice that the FIRST THREE ( 3 )
Hebrew letters contain the letters of the initials of Barack Hussein Obama in Hebrew:
The Bet - ב
is for Barack;
the Alef - א
is for אובמה Obama;
and the Chet - ח is for Hussein.
The HEAD [501] of the ( descendants of the ) ISHMAELITES
[501] is BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA, [501], WHO [ 501 ] is the EVIL -- THAT WILL
BEFALL the ( descendants of ) Jacob / Israel, in the Last Days, BY THE WORK OF
YOUR HANDS [501].
May HaShem [ Elohim ] protect us from this evil and bring
Messiah ( Mashiach ) speedily in our days.
One of the amazing features
of the Torah Readings is the confirmation that often comes from major news
events in the world - as if a Prophetic fulfillment of the Torah portion. Bear
in mind that these readings are done on a programmed basis which has been
formulated centuries ago and faithfully repeated year after year by Jews
throughout the centuries.
Our confirmation of the controversial statements contained
in this commentary, comes from WND (World News Digest) this week in an article
“Biggest
Lie of the Year 2012 is Obama, News Media for Misleading Tales”in which they reveal some shocking details of how the US
under Obama has been funding Al Qaida rebels in Libya and currently in Syria.
The reports states:
World Net Daily – “In September, WND
also broke the story that the slain US ambassador, Christopher Stevens, played
a central role (in Benghazi), in recruiting Jihadists to fight Assad’s regime,
according to Egyptian security officials.
Last month, Middle Eastern security sources further described both the U.S.
mission and nearby CIA annex in Benghazi as the main intelligence and planning
center for U.S. aid to the rebels that was being coordinated with Turkey, Saudi
Arabia and Qatar. Many rebel fighters are openly members of terrorist
organizations, including al-Qaida.
Questions remain about the nature of U.S. support for the revolutions in
Egypt and Libya, including reports the U.S.-aided rebels that toppled Gadhafi’s
regime in Libya consisted of al-Qaida and jihad groups. The U.S. provided
direct assistance, including weapons and finances, to the Libyan rebels. Similarly,
the Obama administration has aided the rebels fighting Assad’s regime in Syria
amid widespread reports that al-Qaida jihadists are included in the ranks of
the Free Syrian Army.
During the revolution against Gadhafi’s regime, the U.S. admitted to directly
arming the rebel groups. At the time, rebel leader Abdel-Hakim al-Hasidi
admitted in an interview that a significant number of the Libyan rebels were
al-Qaida fighters, many of whom had fought U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.
He insisted his fighters “are patriots and good Muslims, not terrorists,” but
he added that the “members of al-Qaida are also good Muslims and are fighting
against the invader.”
While the impression is created in the media that Israel is
assisted and protected against their surrounding enemies, there is an ominous
build up in this process of even more fundamentalist Islamic neighbors who all
vehemently oppose the establishment of a Jewish State or Israel Kingdom.”
King David's death bed wishes to his son, Solomon, gives an
apt conclusion and secure guidelines to anyone who wishes to conform to the Message of the 12 Parashot that make up the entire
Book of Genesis and wants "to Live".
1 Kings 2:2-4 – “Observe what HaShem
your God requires: Walk in obedience to him, and keep His Decrees and Commands,
His Laws and Regulations, as written in the Law of Moses. Do this so that you
may prosper in all you do and wherever you go and that HaShem may keep His
Promise to me.”
This echoes Ya'acov's wishes for his sons (as in our
Parashah) as well as the wishes, prayers and Blessings of all the Patriarchs of
Genesis who cherished and pursued the Divine Blessing to Avraham.
It is these Guidelines that their descendants forgot - and which
10-Israel is returning to today. No wonder that the evil forces have besmirched
these very principles and guidelines through the traditions in Exile. May
re-awakening 10-Israel realize and see through these evil intentions and return
to their original heritage as outlined in David's death-bed wishes so that
HaShem can fulfill His Promises.
Main Conclusion from Beresheet
The Blessings to Avraham stand firm - and HaShem is eager to
bring it on for us. WE, His People, the claimants to His Promises, are the
obstacles! We withhold it from occurring!
The underlying shortcoming which has echoed from all these
12 Parashot is UNITY. NOT just Unity amongst Judah, or unity amongst 10-Israel,
but also and mainly, UNITY between the two Sticks to be molded into ONE. UNITY
between the Brothers who make up the Twelve Tribes of Israel.
May we conclude with the guidelines given in the Definition
of this required UNITY, by Rav Yisachar Shlomo Teichtal when he
advises:
Rav Yisachar
Shlomo Teichtal – “That peace and unity do not consist of the avoidance of
conflict alone, and cannot be achieved by the suppression of differences.
Rather, unification in true peace is a positive state that presupposes
authentic connectedness -- affirmative engagement and willingness to encounter
others in their fullness -- along with concerted efforts at mutual
understanding and appreciation (if not validation) of differences in culture,
practice and ideology.”
May the leaders and members of BOTH
Houses of Israel be brave and humble enough to meditate on these wise
guidelines and start to put them into practise.

The
Present Latitudes of the Northern Ten Tribes of Israel in Europe
The
Lost Tribes of Israel during the Pole Shift
The Impact of a Planetary Pole Shift
or Terrestrial Crustal Shift
The Affect upon a Major Ocean
impacted by a Large Asteroid
The Impact of Eastern Mysticism and Western Pragmatism
on the Quest for Cosmic Reality
The Impact of a Planetary Pole Shift
or Terrestrial Crustal Shift
Sometime soon in the future, the evidence is
increasing that Planet Earth will be experiencing aPole shiftor a massiveterrestrial
crustal shift. If the track record is correct, and the directional
force of the migrating North Pole continues to increase exponentially, it may
relocate itself to a new home somewhere in tundra region of Siberia in
Russia. At that time, the New European
Union where Northern Europe, the homeland of the Lost Ten Tribes of the House
of Israel is located today will shift to the east and northward towards it New
North Pole. Will this be a magnetic or a
physical pole shift, and will it instead include a crustal shift of Europe
upwards towards the North Pole? We don’t know!
What is now known is that the magnetic North Pole migrated as late as 2006-2007 off the
coastline of Canada and is heading towards the Russian regions of
Siberia. The city of Moscow at the
latitude of 51 degrees with a 15 degree crustal or pole shift will be
sitting near the region of the Berent Sea near the Arctic Circle. The city of
London at the latitude of 51 degrees will not be just experiencing Siberian Blizzards as predicted in the 2004
Pentagon Report, but could be encased in ice as the warm thermal
waters of the Gulf Stream collapse and as reported in part in the “Pentagon
Report:
“Between 2010 and 2020 Europe is hardest
hit by climatic change with an average annual temperature drop of 6F. Climate
in Britain becomes colder and drier as weather patterns begin to resemble
Siberia.
Rich areas like the US and Europe would
become ‘virtual fortresses’ to prevent
millions of migrants from entering after being forced from land drowned by
sea-level rise or no longer able to grow crops. Waves of boatpeople pose
significant problems.
Europe will face huge internal struggles as
it copes with massive numbers of migrants
washing up on its shores. Immigrants from Scandinavia seek warmer climates to
the south. Southern Europe is beleaguered by refugees from hard-hit countries
in Africa.
Deaths from war and famine run into the
millions until the planet’s population is reduced by such an extent the Earth
can cope.
Future wars will be fought over the issue
of survival rather than religion, ideology or national honor.”
The changes in the weather will be affected
predominately because the conveyor belt of the waters in the oceans constantly
flowing around the world will be altered and in some areas collapsing. As seen
on the map above, the arrows depicts the path of the ocean current circulation,
where the red arrows show the warm surface currents and the blue arrows depict
the movements of the colder waters deep into the sea.
In the Atlantic Ocean, the thermohaline circulation of
the Gulf Stream and its extension into the North Atlantic Drift brings warm
salty water from the Gulf of Mexico region of North America to the Northeastern
Atlantic region warming Great Britain and Western Europe. As the water cools,
it mixes with the cooler waters from the Arctic Ocean and with its increased
density sinks to the southern and eastern regions of Greenland.
The
Present Latitudes of the Northern Ten Tribes of Israel in Europe
With such a Pole
Shift, suddenly much of the continental lands, between the48th to the 73rd degree latitudes of Northern
Norway and Sweden will suddenly thrust above the Arctic Circle at 75 degrees as
a New North Pole may also literally be located in the tundra region south of the
Franz Joseph (Is)Land and the Kara Sea.
The lands of habitation for the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel may now be
thrust into the regions farther north than the latitudes of the Northern Tundra
Regions of Siberia in northern Eurasia. Some of the European nations that may
be included in the New Arctic Circle (75 degree latitude) that could include parts
of Norway, Sweden, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Poland including Leningrad,
Russia. The present homelands of the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel and
their estimated central latitude in
degrees include:
The Tribe of Reuben in Northern France (48th
degree),
The Tribe of Asher in Belgium and Luxemburg (50th
degree),
The Tribe of Zebulon in the Netherlands (52nd
degree),
The Tribe of Dan in Ireland (53rd degree)
plus
The Tribes of Ephraim plus Simeon and Dan (Cornwall)
in Great Britain (54th degree) including
The Tribes of Simeon and Dan in Wales (54th
degree),
The Tribes of Simeon and Levi in Scotland (56th
degree),
The Tribe of Dan in Denmark (56th degree),
The Tribe of Issachar in Northern Germany (56th
degree),
The Tribe of Benjamin
in Norway (62nd degree), as far North as the 72nd degree
includes:
The Tribe of Naphtali in Sweden (62nd
degree).
With the creation of
this model on the terrestrial shifting of the globe, let us see what may happen
to the Land of Israel, and the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel now
living in Northern Europe? This has some fascinating implications when we
realize that that with a crustal or polar shift of only 10 degrees,
which has been documented in the historical age of man by the reprinted 15th
century maps depicting a 15 degree shift in the Antarctica, Jerusalem, the
capital of Israel at the 31st degree parallel could replace Rome,
the capital of Italy at the 41st parallel latitude.
Considering that this
coming apocalyptic era will herald the rise of Greater Israel, where Eilat, on
the Red Sea is presently the southernmost tip of Israel on the 29th
degree parallel. The capital of Israel
in Jerusalem at the center is located at the 31st, yet Greater
Israel will also include Beirut, Tyre and Sidon at the 33rd degree
parallel and Hamath north of Damascus, also now part of the future sovereign
lands of Greater Israel will be located at the 45th degree parallel.
Is it not interesting
that with a 10 degree shift in latitude, the Ancient Roman Empire, whose
imperial state on the Peninsula of Italia will discover that the new latitude
of Eilat on the south will replace the Isle of Malta at the 38th
parallel line? Jerusalem again will
replace Rome at the 41st, Beirut, Tyre and Sidon will replace
Florence at the 43rd degree parallel and Milano, Italy plus Lyon and
Bordeaux, France will be replaced by Hamath, Syria at the 45th.
Whereas Rome over the centuries has sought to replace
Jerusalem as the city of God (HaShem) as written by St. Augustine in his book, “Rome
the City of God”, now we can envision the Land of Israel replacing the literal latitude
location on the same position on the globe as where the Peninsula of Italy and
Rome was once located. The arid wilderness desert of Israel now relocated along
this parallel latitude will be located right along where the breezes and rain will
again make the Land of Israel a garden district raising such bountiful produce
that the world will wonder in awe.
Ezekiel 36:3-4, 6-10, 11-12 - (parts) - “Because,
and again because, there was astonishment and craving for you from all around,
for you to become a heritage for the rest of the nations, and you were taken up
on [every] lip of each nation as the subject of the people’s disparagement,
therefore mountains of Israel, hear the word of the L-rd HaShem/Elohim!
Thus said the L-rd HaShem/Elohim to the
mountains and to the hills, to the streams and to the valleys, to the desolate
ruins and to the forlorn cities, which have become a scorn and a derision for
the remaining nations all around…but you, O mountains of Israel, will give
forth your branch and bear your fruit for My people, [Lost Tribes of] Israel,
for they are soon to come…and you will be tilled and you will be sown. I
will make people numerous upon you – the entire House of Israel, all of
it…
I will multiply man and animal upon you,
and they will multiply and be fruitful; I will make you inhabited as in your
earlier times, and I will make it better than it was at your beginning, then
you will know that I am HaShem. I will cause man to walk upon you – My
people Israel – and they will inherit you. Then you will be theirs for a
possession and you will no longer bereaved of them.”
As Ancient Rome sought also to replace Jerusalem and
the Jews spiritually, the humor of the G-d of Israel may have the last
laugh. Jerusalem could literally replace
Rome’s latitude position of the 41St parallel, and the lands of
inhabited by the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel, will become devastated
as climatic changes will alter the European clime dramatically.
Yet, Greater Israel, G-d’s new empire on Planet Earth,
called the “Kingdom of G-d on Earth” will literally replace part of the
homeland of the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel and many of their
homelands will now be encased in ice. Yes, Jerusalem will truly and literally become
Hashem’s planetary capital on Planet Earth.
The
Lost Tribes of Israel during the Pole Shift
The Northern Kingdom
of Israel was sent into land of their exile in the
region of Khurasan where the United States and NATO are fighting today (2012-3)
in Eastern Afghanistan and Western Pakistan.
Ninety percent of theLost
10-Triber Israelitesmigrated from the
lands of their exile in Afghanistan (Khurasan), up into the Caucasus Region
through the lands of the ancient Jewish royal Davidian Empire of Georgia whose imperial rule peaked during the Roman Christian
Crusades to the Holy Land in the 12-13th century CE.
The Lost 10 Tribers
then traversed westward across over the Black Sea and followed the trail of
their cousins, the Tribe of Dan, into the regions of the Don (Dan) River, the D(a)niester River and the D(a)nieper Rivers and finally up the
Danube River settling in the vast forested and unpopulated lands of Northern Europe. There they settled in Northern Europe,
Scandinavia, and over to the “isles of the sea” of England, Ireland and
Scotland. This would now become their
final homeland during their long two-thousand seven hundred year exile from the
land of their forefathers in Samaria in Northern Israel.
The Impact of a Planetary Pole Shift
or Terrestrial Crustal Shift
In what may be a combination of amagnetic pole
shiftwith a massive planetary
“crustal shift”, if the former homelands of the Lost Tribes of the House of
Israel located in the Shomron region of Central Israel will be pushed north by
a 15 degree crustal shift, it would then rest in the same latitude that the
European Union does today. Once the
“breadbasket of the world”, a major part of the United States of America will
descend down into the latitude of the desert regions of Mexico. The drought of
2011 in the State of Texas alone cost the state $5.2 billion in either
additional production costs or potential income not received; the worst in
history.
As the last president of the United States of America
withdraws its nation’s support of the State of Israel, will America come under
the judgments of the Almighty? Will
America become a participant of the apocalyptic events of Revelation? Will the
apocalyptic streams from the heavens crash upon this continent such as one of a
series of asteroids or planetoids impact upon this earth; the first three
Trumpet plagues of Revelation?
Revelation 8:6-11 – “Now theseven
angelswith the seven shofars prepared to sound them. The first one
sounded his shofar; and there came hail and fire mingled with blood, and
it was thrown down upon the earth.
A third of the earth was burned up, a third of the trees were burned up,
and all green grass was burned up.
A
second angel sounded his shofar, and what looked like an enormous
blazing mountain was hurled into the sea.
A third of the sea turned to blood, a third of the living creatures in
the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.”
The third angel sounded his shofar;
and a great star, blazing like a torch, fell from the sky onto a third
of the rivers and unto the springs of water.
The name of the star was “Bitterness” (“Wormwood”) and a third of the
water was bitter, and many people died from the water that had been turned
bitter.”
The Affect upon a Major Ocean
impacted by a Large Asteroid
Into one of the great oceanic basins of the earth,
Atlantic, Pacific, or the Indian Ocean, is prophetically destined to be
impacted by an asteroid or planet from another stellar system that the prophet
of Revelation described as an “enormous blazing mountain”. Such an impact would send tsunamis over 100-200
feet high to pummel the coastal cities surrounding the impacted ocean.
Since 75-80% of the world’s populations live within
miles of an ocean, such an impact would send the fleeing billions of panicking populations,
now without homes, inland as refugees.
Consider the fact that this “blazing mountain” were to impact the
Pacific Ocean to the east of the continent of Asia. It could set in motion
billions of Chinese in a mass migration to find a new homeland to the west
towards Jerusalem.
Revelation 9:14-18 – “The sixth angel sounded his shofar, and
I heard a voice from the four horns of the gold altar before G-d, saying to the
sixth angel, the one with the shofar, ‘Release
the four angels that are bound at the great river Euphrates !’ And they
were released. The four angels had been kept ready for this moment, for this
day and month, and year, to kill a third of mankind; and the number
of the cavalry soldiers was two hundred million! – I heard the number.
Here is how the horses
looked in the vision: the riders had breastplates that were fire-red, iris-blue, and sulfur-yellow; the horse’s heads were like lions’ heads;
and from their mouths issued fire, smoke and sulfur. It was these three plagues that killed a
third of mankind – the fire, smoke and sulfur issuing from the horse’s mouths. For
the power of the horses was in their mouths – and also in their tails, for
their tails were like snakes with heads, and with them they could cause injury.”
Revelation 16:12 – “The sixth one poured out his bowl on
the great river Euphrates, and
its water dried up, in order to
prepare the way for the kings
from the east.”
With the progressive global catastrophes, the Island
of Japan will no doubt be destroyed and collapse under the waters of the
Pacific. All the coastal cities from China, South and North Korea, and all the
cities down the coastline of Alaska, Canada; the western seaboard of the United
States downward to Panama, Peru, to the Nation of Chili on the southern borders
of South America could be impacted by mega-tsunamis.
With this horrendous reality envisioned from earth in
observation of the sixth angel blowing the shofar or casting the vials of ashes
down upon earth; we can now understand with the devastation of western Asia in
China, the Koreas, and Japan along the “Ring of Fire” and the “Pacific Ring”,
plus along the entire western coastline of North and South America that a
“third” of the populations on Planet Earth could be destroyed. And we now begin
to comprehend why the 200 million man army of the “kings of the East” is heading
west towards Jerusalem. Israel will now
be perceived by the armies of the world as the last “safe haven” upon this
globe.
What if this asteroid impact were to crash into the
Atlantic Ocean? The resultant tsunami
would impact all the coastal cities of Europe and the eastern seaboard of the
United States of America. Could it
become the primary “act of G-d” that would force the displacement of the
populations in Europe which are populated by the Lost Tribes of the House of
Israel in northern Europe? Would it be
such an epic catastrophe that along the coastline where the 13 Original
Colonies in America, representing the Twelve Lost Tribes of Israel with the
“double blessing” to Joseph for the 13th tribal colony would be so
utterly devastated that a massive evacuation beings with the Second Exodus as
the descendants of the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel begin making
preparation for aliyah to the Land of Israel?
Will these events become the causal force for America
to “turn it’s heart back to the God of Israel?
Yet, when we look at each of these potential models of the final
apocalypse, the starkest reality is that they may occur within the next three
to four years beginning with the End of the Mayan World Age on December 21,
2012?
Earlier we witnessed a “great star” falling
like a “blazing torch” and fell upon a third of the rivers and the
springs of water. Does it plow into a continent? Not necessarily! Or does it
pass-over and the debris from the cometary or planetoid tail could leave a
multi-inch layer of iron oxide over the one entire continent on this globe. The
resultant impact upon the continent would be that it would pollute and
contaminate a third of the “rivers” and “springs of water” where the water
would become bitter and millions of people would die.
These apocalyptic catastrophes do occur after the 6th
(sixth) Seal after which Satan the “Accuser” will seal his own adherents with
the “Mark of the Beast”. Just prior to
the 7th Seal, the dark forces of Lucifer claim their own, then the
G-d of Israel will claim His “chosen ones” of the House of Judah, the House of
the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel, and all who believe in the divine
mission of the Orthodox Jew, Yahshua HaNotzri (Jesus the Nazarene) who was the incarnated
human manifestation of the Holy One Himself.
All of these “chosen ones” would be protected by the Divine, during the
last 1260 literal days (three and one-half years) before the arrival of the
Mashiach ben David (Messiah son of David).
It was this same Orthodox Jewish rabbi, whom many
believed to be their Messiah, who took His disciples upon the mount called
Olivet, when looking down upon the temple, said to them;
Matthew 24:1-3 - “And Jesus (Yahshua) went out, and departed
from the temple: and His disciples came to Him to show Him the buildings of the
temple. And Jesus said unto them, See
you not all these things? Verily I say
unto you, there shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not
be thrown down.
And as He sat upon the Mount of Olives, the disciples came
unto Him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be, and what shall
be the sign of Your coming, and of the End of the World?”
As
Yahshua was speaking with His disciples, the words interpreted by the
translators as, “the end ofthe world”
was the Greek world, “aion” or translated as “aeon” which did not mean the
complete destruction of this planet earth, or the complete annihilation of
every human on this planet. Rather it was translates as the “End of the Age”.
One
world age was now departing, and another world age was in the process of
beginning for the next millennium (1000 years).
The first words that lighten the minds of many people included; New
Earth, the Millennial rule of King Messiah, the 1000 year of God’s saints in
heaven, and the Messianic Kingdom of YHVH’s Messiah upon this Planet Earth. They
all have very similar connotations.
The Impact of Eastern Mysticism and Western Pragmatism
on the Quest for Cosmic Reality
The
western New Agers though are part of the larger concepts of Eastern mysticism
incorporating the concepts of the trans-migration of the soul and reincarnation,
as they try to explain how humans can reach a state of perfection, totality and
completeness. This cosmology was
imbedded in the concepts of the Mayans.
The
great Circle of Life returns to its original beginning every 25,000 years to
complete its “Five World Age” cycle. During this time the 12 constellations of
the Zodiac, representing the 12 Tribes of House of Israel (Jacob), continues to
move through the
precession of the equinoxes and return to the same moment of time; the place of
the Divine Beginning.
Yet
the Hebrew-Jewish concept of Divine Oneness is the “Great Circle of Life Plus”
by adding the one element; “time”. While
the great Circle of Life is true, according to the Hebrews, we also live in a
three dimensional world with the addition of “time”.
All
life is dynamic, and flows with rhythm, pulse, and sound. Instead of static circles returning to their
same point of origin, the Hebrews added the dimension of time. A rotating
circle became a wave function, much like an oscillation of a photon of light, a
sound wave, or the pulsation of a “breath of air”. The scientific evidence of life suggested a
circular motion that advanced in time and when viewed from the side it appears
as a wave form.
So
the creative power of the Divine, HaShem came as He “spoke” (sound), or He
“breathed into his (Adam’s) nostrils” (wind) or the divine “Spark of Life”
(light) and the creative process was completed.
How long each of these divine acts took is still a matter of scientific
and religious debate but the reality of life is that the wave forms of sound,
blowing of the wind, and the photon pulsing of light are the inherent parts of
the “acts of creation”.
The
fact that a human being can bring his life into perfection and oneness with the
Divine is a fact of the Hebrew prophetic understanding. This is the way of Torah. Living a life in perfect harmony with one’s
heart, mind and soul in the precepts of Torah living. This was intended to be
with the assistance of the presence of the divine Temple of God and the
nearness of the Divine Shekinah that showed that the Presence of God was a true reality.
Without the living Presence of the Divine in
the connection with the Shekinah produced an improbability in what we call a
“dead option”. It could happen, but most of the time it won’t. We are capable of thinking, but our limited
sensory system hinders our ability to perceive the Divine Power, and so we
struggle today as our spiritual eyes are veiled to the divine reality.
The probability of creating a
perfect life by living the life of Torah in our present state of “sinfulness”
appears to be a hopeless improbability.
This is why “emuna” or faith in the Sovereignty of HaShem is so critical
in order to open the gateway to our neshama soul for the Divine to live within
our hearts or in Jewish terms, for the “spark of the divine to reside in the
vessel of our mind”.
If this is hard on an individual
basis, consider the fact of the difficulty of it becoming a part of the process
for the national consciousness of a people, such as Hebrews; Jews and Lost
Israelites. So together, we can collectively come into a Oneness with the
Divine as our original form of “Being” or “Chosenness”.
This road to eventual perfection
without the divine action of “salvation” afforded by the arrival of a Jewish
Messiah is like putting a “drop of water in the ocean”. Orthodox Judaism has struggled with this concept,
where the Torah theme that any human, living a life of Torah, above and beyond
the letter of the Law can spiritually and literally come into harmony with the
Divine.
The chance of doing that
individually or collectively with a national consciousness is one in billions
of a chance; improbable but possible.
With the revealing of HaShem’s Maschiah ben Dovid, the gates of heaven
will be opened and our spiritual souls will connect with our physical bodies
here on earth and will be transformed by the creative power of the Divine as we
are restored to live into a World of Torah Enlightenment; taught and guided by
HaShem’s Messiah.
Taking the archeological and
linguistic understanding of the Sumerian texts and bringing them into harmony
with the Torah historical account suggests that there was a moment of time in
which the G-d of Israel permitted an advanced group of civilized humanoid like
beings to come into our three dimensional world to live and teach the sons of
man about the organization and culture of the world of creation from the World
of the Divine, to the World of the Spirit Beings, to the World of Formation,
where Adam and Eve lived in the Garden of Eden in a sinless state.
There the first “couple” was
privileged to witness and communicate directly with the Divine and His
emissaries of the spirit world. By the
participation of the rebelling spiritual beings along with HaSatan (Satan), Adam
and Eve were exiled from the Garden and devolved into this literal World of
Action, where a dimensional shroud surrounded them. They could no longer see or perceive the
hierarchy and governance of the heavenly forces.
So today, we now live, feel, act
like, and reside like the other animals of God’s creation except we as humans have
the perception to understand and with our communication skills to transmit this
information to others. We also still retain the power of free will; the “power
to think and to do.”
With the introduction of greed, sin,
obsession of power, and the need to control other people, our world that once
was a nest of immense creative and flourishing entrepreneurial activity has now
become robotic, static, in its decaying entropy of extinction. The final drama
of the rebellion with the dark forces of HaSatan against the forces of light
guided by the Master of the Universe, has now come to its completion on
December 21, 2012. What will happen on that date, we will have to wait, pray,
and prepared for whatever reality it will be.
There is still one hidden and
occluded part little perceived. Back in the mid-19th century, the 13
Original Colonies were alive with the expectation of the “Coming of the Messiah”. This was a revolutionary idea in that day.
When the “Messiah” did not come, the rest of the world castigated that moment
of time as a “failed prophecy”. Yet it took the Jewish sage called the Vilna
Gaon, who told his disciples just prior to that time that the “coming of the
Messiah was not an event; but a process.”
This was an amazing revelation.
So
we stand at the cusp of the date of December 21, 2012, and ask, “What is going
to happen?” Keep it in mind, whatever it
will be, we will look back upon it in time, and understand, for it will
not become just an “event” but the
gateway to a process that will unfold as the “End of Days” transforms into a most
brilliant reality; the revelation or the revealing of the Maschiah ben Dovid (Messiah
son of David).
Isaiah 9:5-6 – “For a child has been born to us, a son has
been given to us, and the dominion will rest on his shoulder; the Wondrous
Adviser, Mighty G-d, Eternal Father, called his name Sar-Shalom (Prince of
Peace); upon the one with the greatness in dominion and the boundless peace
that will prevail on the throne of David and on his kingdom, to establish it
and sustain it through justice and righteousness, from now to eternity. The
zealousness of HaShem, Master of Legions, will accomplish this!”
And
when the Sar-Shalom (Prince of Peace) does begin its reign, what will happen to
Klal Yisra’el (All Israel)?
Ezekiel
39:23-29 – “And the
nations will know that the people of Israel went into exile for their sin,
because they were unfaithful to Me. So I hid My Face from them and
handed them over to their enemies, and they all fell by the sword. I dealt with
them according to their uncleanness and their offenses, and I hid My Face from
them.
Therefore this is what the Sovereign HaShem says: I will
now bring Jacob back from captivity and will have compassion upon the
whole House of Israel, and I will be zealous for My Holy Name. They will
forget their shame and all the unfaithfulness they showed toward Me when they
lived in safety in their land with no one to make them afraid.
When I have brought them back from the nations and have
gathered them from the countries of their enemies, I will show Myself holy
through them in the sight of many nations. Then they will know that I am
HaShem their G-d, for though I sent them into exile among the nations, I
will gather them to their own land, not leaving any behind. I will no longer
hide My Face from them, for I will pour out My Spirit on the house of
Israel, declares the Sovereign HaShem."

The
Finger of the Divine is rapidly transforming our world in to the final guela
and redemption for All Israel; Judah and Ten-Israel together. As it comes to
the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel, our naturalized homelands as we know
them to be will soon disappear and we will have only one choice left,
assimilate into rapidly decaying gentile world, or return to our ancestral
tribal homelands in Israel. The prophets have a lot to say as to the fate of
each of these Lost Israelites.
The
prophets of Israel have spoken and continue to reveal to us today the prophetic
matrix of the future. As with Rabbi Judah ben Samuel, the clue as to the
prophetic vortex that is rapidly swirling around our lives is becoming more
revealed. If you don’t know how to listen to the “still small voice”, the voice
of HaShem, like Elijah the Prophet, it’s time to begin listening as 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 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 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.

Parashat Miketz (At the End of): Genesis 41 - 44:17
Haftarah: 1 Kings 3:15 - 4:1
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.
************
Our Torah Reading this week coincides
with Chanukah. Our commentary will shortly bring all this into perspective.
First, let us pick up the context of our Parashot readings thus far. Underlying
these first 9 Parashot, since Genesis chapter 1, we have traced the Divine
Intent to create a righteous Body to rule with Him in His Kingdom over this
World which He had created all for humanity’s sake – His Creation. This was
further defined by the Blessing to Abraham which narrowed it down to a section
of the descendants of Ya’acov, the Twelve Tribes of Israel.
In Parashat Va’yeshev, last week, we
were introduced to the long-standing Division amongst these Tribes brought
about by their individual striving for leadership. Yosef, representing the
10-Tribed faction of the ‘House of Israel’ was introduced and the Need for
ultimate Unity to restore Peace and Oneness in the House of HaShem was stressed
as a Final Requirement for the completion of Redemption (Geulah). We also need
to clarify the metaphoric representation in each of these historic Biblical
role players in order to more fully comprehend the underlying Divine Message
for our Time.
Judaism of today is
represented by the Tribe of Judah (together with the small tribe of Benjamin
and ‘those of Ephraim who have joined with and live amongst Judah’.
Yosef is regarded by
the Rabbis as being representative of the Ten Tribes of Israel who have been in
exile since the breakup of the Kingdom of Israel in the time of King Solomon,
2800 years ago.
Prophesy predicts their Return to
their Hebraic Roots and to the Land of Israel in a process of Restoration and
Redemption. As Parashat Mikeitz will show though, Yosef, while representative
of the 10 Tribes, seem to be separate from and unrecognized not just by Judah,
but also by his fellow 9 brothers. This could be explained by regarding Yosef
as the spiritual ‘first-born’ amongst the Ten Tribes; the one who would be in a
‘leadership’ position with Truth.
As such, even Yosef’s brothers, who
are still in spiritual ‘Egypt’, regard him as somewhat strange and not part of
them. To Judah, Yosef is an ‘Egyptian’ and a stranger, while he has really
received the double Blessing of the First-born which has been passed on to his
sons, Ephraim and Menasseh (‘Ephraim’ being a group compound name for 10-Israel
also).
Parashat Mikeitz will thus further
emphasize the great division and spiritual rivalry which withholds the ultimate
Redemption and which has to be overcome by Judah, Yosef and Ephraim – thus ALL
12 Tribal contenders whose Reconciliation is a foundational requirement and
condition for Redemption.
This non-recognition of Yosef (as the
leader, represented by the Hebraic Restoration Movement which takes the lead in
restoring and establishing the Torah-based Return of 10-Israel) by all his
brothers, is evident today from the recognition and treatment that Hebraic
Restoration Returnees receive from both Judaism and the Church.
The latter regards these Hebraic Roots
Restorers as “traitors to the Christian faith who reject the NT Grace and want
to place themselves (with Judah) under the burden of the Law again.” Judaism,
on the other hand, regards these ‘strange pagans’ with great suspicion for
wanting to keep Jewish Laws, tradition and culture. Surely, “Yosef is not
recognized by his brothers!”
Our Reading this week brings a
particularly encouraging Message for this ‘Time of the End’ which we are no
doubt approaching before the ultimate Redemption of the Ages. In fact, this
week’s Parashah is named “Miketz” – (“At the End of”, according to the first words
of the Parashah).
While this section fits perfectly the
times that we are living in and this time of Chanukah, it does at first glance
seem totally irrelevant and inapplicable that the Haftarah portion this week
comes from the inconspicuous book of 1 Kings chapter 3 which relates the
argument between two prostitutes about a baby.
Closer consideration though, will
reveal an amazing Message in this dispute for the very Time that we are living
in. Bear in mind, that this dividing of the Torah into some 52 weekly Readings,
paired with defined extracts from the Prophets and other sections of the
Tanach, follows a pattern selected and set by Jewish Sages many centuries ago.
If the entire Bible did not testify to a Divine spiritual, almost mathematical
foundation underlying it, then this all could well be classified as ‘amazing
co-incidence’.
We start our commentary with an
extract from an article written just this week by Rabbi Chaim Richman of “The Temple Institute,
Jerusalem”. Interpolating
Comments by KOL HA’TOR are presented between [ ].
Genesis
42:8 - “They did not recognize him (Yosef)”
As Rabbi Richman writes:
Rabbi Chaim Richman -
“Chanukah, the eight day celebration of the victory of the Maccabees over their
Greek oppressors, is the only holiday on the Hebrew calendar that spans two
months. By virtue of its unique placement on the Hebrew calendar, the great
Festival of Lights occurs not only at the darkest time of the solar year, in
close proximity to the winter solstice, it also incorporates within its eight
days the darkest moment of the monthly lunar cycle,
When a
brother does not recognize a brother, this is the definition of spiritual
darkness; this is the meaning of exile. There are two fundamental reasons why
the brothers did not recognize Yosef. He was dressed and coiffed in the
manner of the royal house of Egypt. Everything about his outward appearance was
foreign to them. He epitomized everything that their descendants, the Maccabeus
warriors, would rebel against thousands of years later.
On a
deeper level they didn't and couldn't recognize Yosef until the guilt
they bore for the wrong they had done him would be resolved, as eventually it
was. So while they remained outwardly faithful to the teachings and yearnings
of their fathers Avraham, Yitzchak and Yaakov [Judaism], they
had betrayed their own heritage by their misdeed. They were foreign to
themselves. [The result was the lack of Unity; the Prime Divine Requirement for
Redemption and the Return of the Divine Shechinah.]
But what
makes this moment even darker than a moonless night in the depths of December
is the simple fact that until they could recognize one another, until they
could resolve their differences, until they could come clean with themselves,
look directly into the eyes of their brother and register the bright glimmer of
pure holy light looking back at them, they couldn't even tell that they were in
such darkness. They were not yet cognizant of the fact that they were already [still]
in exile. The long night had begun [had not ended] and they were unaware.
We cannot possibly
reconcile with G-d, our Father in heaven, until we reconcile with one another.
And this is true even within the microcosmic sphere of our own family unit. Can
a father truly be pleased with any of his children if they, themselves, are
estranged from one another?
Yaakov couldn't possibly have been brought down to Egypt until
his sons had first reunited. And although this reunion would take place at the
onset of a cruel exile, it was at once both the beginning and the beginning of
the end of the exile. For recognition and unity and brotherly love for one
another is what it takes to sustain and resist and eventually overcome any
exile, no matter how dark.
The miracle
of the cruse of pure oil that lasted for eight straight days was really the
miracle of the rekindling of the pure light of Torah within the hearts of
estranged brothers. And just as in the case of Israel in Egypt, the
rekindling of the light of brotherly unity didn't mark the end of the war with
Antiochus. The war would rage on for two more decades. But it did mark the
beginning of the eventual victory over those who sought to darken the eyes of
Israel. Unity among Israel can only lead to victory and redemption.
Today we
are living through the prophesied historical period known to our sages as “the
heels of the messiah," that is, a period marked both by the
growing light of redemption and the final efforts of the forces of darkness to
return Israel to exile. And there are still among Israel those, who, in spite
of, or perhaps because of the blinding light of Redemption, are finding it
difficult to recognize their own brothers.
We need
to reach out to them even as we continue unabated in our efforts to work toward
and build the coming Redemption even as it approaches, and as the Maccabees did
in their day, to rebuild and purify the great stone altar, rekindle the golden
menorah and return the Holy Temple and the Divine service to the embrace of all
mankind.”
Our Parashah portion from Genesis has clearly
accentuated the destructive Division of the Elected House of Ya’acov as a
continuation of the Message of the previous Parashah Va’Yeshev (Parashah #9).
The Haftarah this week exposes a similar
great division between two mothers regarding a communal treasure – a child.
Both claimed the same child as theirs. Upon the King’s decision to cut the
child in two and give each mother a half, the real mother was easily identified
by her love for her child, when she asked the judge to rather give the child to
the other mother. The other mother was happy to see the child rather die so
that neither of them would have the pleasure of a child.
Much the same applies to the two divided
Houses of Israel today (Judaism and re-awakening 10-Israel), who both are
entitled to the Divine Promise regarding the same Promised Land – the physical
Land of Israel promised to Abraham and his uncountable generations. Both these
factions however, have their own terms – and totally inconsiderate of each
other. 10-Israel wants the Land to be free from Judah’s Rabbinic control and
Judah is not to be found for sharing the Land with what they regard as
non-Jews.
Noteworthy also is the fact that this
Parashah refers to these two mothers as “two prostitutes “– I Kings 3:16, who
lived in one house. If indeed the claim to a child is a metaphoric reference to
the claim for the Promised Land; why then are the mothers referred to as
‘prostitutes’? How could this possibly apply to the Divine Beneficiaries of the
Promised Land, Judah and 10-Israel – the twelve Tribes of Israel?
Well, this may well be where the awesome
implications of this week’s Torah Reading (indeed, of the Bible’s entire Redemption
Message) really takes effect. Read on:
The Bible’s evaluation of the two
‘contestants’ to the Promised Land really makes some uneasy, almost
pornographic reading! We will just quote the main themes here and leave the
reader to read the somewhat horrid descriptive characterizations for themselves
in Ezekiel chapter 16 and 23:
Ezekiel
23:1 – “The word of HaShem came to me: “Son of man, there were two women,
daughters of the same mother. They became prostitutes in Egypt,
engaging in prostitution from their youth. In that land their breasts
were fondled and their virgin bosoms caressed.
The older
was named Oholah, and her sister was Oholibah. They were mine and gave birth to
sons and daughters. Oholah is Samaria, and Oholibah is Jerusalem.”
This, without doubt, is a reference to the
Two Houses of Israel to whom these Final Messages of the Age is directed. In
case you have any doubts about this, read the complete chapters 16 & 23 of
Ezekiel.
Not only are these Two Houses divided
on the issue of the “disputed child”, i.e. the Land and the Inheritance, but
they point fingers at each other about who of them really is the ‘harlot’, each
trying to justify herself! The Bible phrases the Divine Verdict loudly and
clearly: BOTH are!
Yet, BOTH are His Beloved, while He is
patiently waiting on their Teshuvah (Repentance)! His Grace even encompasses
taking back His Divorced Bride, 10-Israel, with whom He pleads for her return –
but, on His Terms this Time! (This entails a complete and comprehensive
additional study. Suffice it here to say that all Jewish Prophets foretold and
foresaw this Return to complete the Redemption.
Refer to our comprehensive quoted list of
these Scriptures at:
Both Houses should learn from this Haftarah,
to pray for and share a Living Land, rather than to reflect the attitude of:
‘Rather let the Land be lost to both factions, than to share it with each
other’, or to have to acknowledge each other.
Judah has to come to realize that Jews from the
Tribe of Judah and Benjamin alone can NOT POSSIBLY settle the Greater Israel.
The entire world population of Judah only numbers some 15 million Jews – not
even enough to settle the current region of Israel West of the Jordan River.
A Biblical Map of Greater Israel will reflect
that current ‘Jewish Israel’ is not much more in proportion to the Greater
Israel, than a nature reserve. Estimates of a 10-Triber population of one
billion people have been mentioned in Jewish Sages’ writing – more like the
figure required settling Greater Israel. Where will such numbers of Jews come
from?
And, if 10-Israel has to be accommodated, it
cannot possibly be on basis of expecting them to be “Super Torah Jews”
rather than the reality of being “Returning-to-Torah” subordinates who
need a loving hand up, just the same as much of the majority of non-observant
and secular Jews in the world need it.
10-Israel, on the other hand, needs to realize that it
cannot expect Judah to become subject to a religious system “which their
fathers never knew”, or to a theology that has a pagan foundation.
The required UNITY to secure the Peace
which will guarantee the Return of the Divine Shechinah has to come from a
heart of love and sincere concern, from those to whom the LIFE of Greater
Israel is as essential as a mother’s love for her child.
May we all search for and find this Key to
UNITY in the House of Zion!

Parashat Va’yeshev (And he was settled): Genesis 37:1-40:23
Haftarah: Amos 2:6-3:8
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.
************
Having followed
through the first 8 Readings of the Torah, the ‘Blessing of a Multitude of
Nations’ to Avraham, the 9th Reading “Va’yeshev” (‘And he was
settled’) now brings us to the finer division of Avraham’s descendants into two
Houses.
The first section
(Genesis 37) deals with Yoseph (son of Ya’acov). ‘Yoseph’, in Rabbinic
interpretation, embodies what later would become the Torah rebelling and Judah
rejecting Northern Ten Tribes of Israel. As such, ‘Yoseph’ became the mascot
reference or group name for the Northern Ten Tribes of Israel, which would
become rejected by HaShem and exiled into oblivion amongst the nations of the
world.
Chapter 38 deals with
the descendants of Judah. Who would become the Second House of Israel. At
first glance, this chapter is not a complimentary reference to Judah, who’s
first 2 sons (Er and Onan) would be struck dead by HaShem for their
wickedness. Further to Judah’s discredit, he then sleeps with Er’s widow,
Tamar, after seeing her for a prostitute!
Yet, from Judah would
arise the descendents of the “Lion of Judah” with many illustrious leaders to come;
like Joshua, King David and a host of others. Both Judah and Yoseph would be
“in the line of Mashiach ben Yosef” (Gaon of Vilna, Kol HaTor, ch 1.23).
Just as this Reading
relates the terrible division and disunity amongst the sons of Ya’acov in
capturing and selling Yoseph, so there would come great division between the
Two Houses of Israel which make up the Nation of HaShem. This division
would last until the End Time – the Time that Mashiach ben David will come to
rule over the nations in the re-united 12-Tribed Kingdom of the G-d of
Israel.
The Gaon of Vilna, of
blessed memory, in the same section quoted above, sheds the following
light on this Reconciliation in the End Time:
Vilna
Gaon - “In our deeds and with our prayers we help Mashiach ben Yosef,
and by acting with all our strength when the awakening comes from below, we will
achieve the unity of Mashiach ben Yosef and Mashiach ben David who
are “the tree of Yosef and the tree of Judah.” At first they will be in your
hands individually, and afterwards “they will be united in My hand.”
The unity of both
are the foundation for the unity of the Holy One blessed be He and the
Shechina, and thus the completion of the Redemption. We at the Kol HaTor
Vision (publishers of this Commentary) believe that we are now in the “Time of
Awakening” referred to by the Gaon. It is therefore incumbent on us to
strive for thus Unity that the Gaon refers to. Whereas our Reading this
week introduces us to the Great Division, we should use this knowledge that we
are gaining here as stepping stones to Reconciliation and thus the ultimate
Redemption (Geulah).
The purpose of these
commentaries is to bring realization of the intrinsic Message contained in the
Bible and understanding of HaShem’s Plan and Intent for mankind. Only in
this way can we hope to comply and work together with each other and with
HaShem to reach the ultimate. For this reason we now insert a complete review
here on the Great Division in the Nation of HaShem and the reason for it.
In this way we will have sufficient information and knowledge to take the right
decisions to work towards the ultimate – and above all, to be found worthy of
being part of it!
The conflict between Joseph and his brothers particularly that between
Joseph and Judah, runs like a seam across the entire history of Israel. At
times Joseph gains the upper hand, at times Judah prevails, but the schism
always resurfaces. Our sages even speak of two messiahs, each with a
role to play in the final fulfilment of Israel’s mission—a messiah descended
from Joseph, and a messiah from the royal house of David, from the
tribe of Judah.
The conflict has its roots in Jacob’s marriages to Leah and Rachel.
Jacob’s preference lay with Rachel—she was his first love and the one he
regarded as his primary wife. But Leah was the first he married, the first to
bear his children, and the one to emerge victorious in the sisters’ competition
to provide Jacob with the most sons. All of Leah’s six sons were born before Rachel’s
firstborn, Joseph; Rachel had a total of two children, as she died while giving
birth to her second son, Benjamin.
As Jacob’s firstborn, Leah’s son Reuben is initially slated for leadership
in all areas of Jewish life. But Reuben sins and his firstborn’s rights are
transferred to three of his brothers: the priesthood goes to Leah’s third
son, Levi; the kingship to Leah’s fourth, Judah; and the “birth
right” (the right of the firstborn to a double portion in his father’s
heritage) to Joseph. Thus Joseph’s descendants comprise two tribes,
Manasseh and Ephraim, and receive two territories in the Holy Land.
(Reuben’s sin is itself an outgrowth of the Leah/Rachel rivalry, as
Reuben interferes in his father’s marriage arrangements in protest of Jacob’s
giving precedence to Rachel’s maid, Bilhah over Leah.)
Jacob transfers his love of Rachel to her son Joseph, demonstrating his
greater preference toward him over his brothers—as he had demonstrated his
preference of Rachel over Leah. The brothers’ jealousy is augmented by Joseph’s
dreams, which Joseph insists on repeatedly describing to them and to his
father—dreams which foretell his mastery over them.This the sons of Leah are determined to prevent at any
cost. Shimon and Levi plot to kill Joseph; Judah prevents this, but oversees
his sale into slavery.
But the brothers’ victory is short-lived. Soon they find themselves in
Egypt, at the mercy of a harsh viceroy who, unbeknownst to them, is their
banished brother. They prostrate themselves before him in fulfilment of his
dreams. Judah confronts Joseph, but finds his considerable physical might and
intellectual prowess bested by his younger brother. Then comes the moving scene
in which Joseph reveals himself to them and is reconciled with them.
Joseph is now the undisputed leader of the fledgling nation. He is their
protector and their source of sustenance. Even Jacob bows to him.
When the people of Israel emerge from the Egyptian exile, it is under
the leadership of Moses and Aaron, both Levites. But it is Joshua, a descendant
of Joseph, who leads them in their conquest of the Holy Land. Several
generations later, another descendant of Joseph, Gideon, liberates them from
foreign rule and governs them. For 369 years the Tabernacle, which as
the forerunner of the Holy Temple serves as the spiritual epicenter of Jewish
life, is situated at Shiloh, in the territory of Joseph. When the people
of Israel ask for a king, a descendant of Rachel, the Benjaminite Saul, is
endowed with the crown.
Then, after centuries of Josephian ascendancy, the pendulum swings once
more. David, the scion of Judah, is anointed as king; his struggles with King
Saul are a replay of the age-old Leah/Rachel rivalry over the leadership of
Israel.
For seven years David reigns in the Judean city of Hebron, while a son of Saul
is the recognized king in the north. But then the sovereignty of David is
accepted by the entire people of Israel. David makes his capital in another Judean
city; Jerusalem. His son Solomon builds the Holy Temple on a part of the city
which straddles the boundary between Judah and Benjamin. The schism seems to be
healed, the people united, with the leadership firmly in the hands of Judah.
But once more the conflict resurfaces. Following Solomon’s death,
Jeroboam, a descendant of Joseph, leads a revolt against the royal house of
David. He even gets other tribes descended from Leah to join him in the
renunciation of the Judean leadership. For the next 240 years, the Holy Land is
split into two kingdoms; the northern kingdom of Israel, encompassing ten
breakaway tribes under Josephian leadership, and the southern kingdom of Judah.
(Interestingly, the tribe of Benjamin remains loyal to the Judean throne.) The
sons of Joseph are simply not prepared to accept the sovereignty of Judah.
(This is most emphatically illustrated by the following Talmudic account
(Sanhedrin 102a):
Sanhedrin 102a - “G‑d Himself grabbed Jeroboam by his
robe and said to him: ‘Repent, and I, you and the son of Jesse [King David]
will stroll together in the Garden of Eden.’ Asked Jeroboam, ‘Who will walk
first?’ ‘The son of Jesse,’ [answered G‑d. Said Jeroboam,] ‘If so, I’m not
interested.’”
The breach persists to this day. A century before the destruction of the
first Temple, Shalmaneser,
king of Assyria, overran the northern kingdom of Israel and exiled the ten
tribes to an unknown place. They were never heard from again. The rest of Jewish history, as we
know it, is the story of the surviving tribes of Judah and Benjamin, a
significant part of Levi (whose priests and Levites lived in cities throughout
the Holy Land), and a small number of Jews from the other tribes who lived in
the kingdom of Judah.
But the prophets promise that there will come a time when the rent
halves of the people of Israel will be reunited. The messianic age will be
heralded by a messiah from the tribe of Joseph and a Davidic messiah
from the tribe of Judah; ultimately, however, the sovereignty of Judah will
be established once and for all. In the words of the prophet Ezekiel:
Ezekiel 37:22–25 - “I will make them into one
nation in the land . . . and a single king shall be over them all . . . My
servant David shall be king over them, and they shall all have a single
shepherd… and My servant David shall be their prince forever.”
To make this week’s Prophetic reading relevant, we have to look around
us at what is happening. Here in Israel there are ominous signs (Dec.
2012). Our government has just conspired with the enemy’s conditions and
seem to continue bowing before their demands which are becoming more and more
suicidal for us as a nation.
The news media reports that warships of various nations are
entering the seas around us – USA, Britain, France, and Iran. Arab
dictatorships are being toppled one after the other in the name of
‘democracy’, by a consorted force of Western capitalist-Arab interests.
They are being replaced by even more fundamentalist Shariah Law Islamic
dictatorships.
Syria is now on the list while preparing poison tipped rockets. In
all this, our Israeli government and the media are taking a lame duck attitude
of wait and see – obviously not having alternative cards to play.
With this in mind and considering how often these long past selected
Prophetic sections commonly have virtual applicable application to the news of
our time, the ominous message may not be so co-incidental as we would
wish it to be.
Amos 2:13; 3:1-2, 6-8 – “Now then, I will crush you as a cart crushes when loaded
with grain …Hear this word, people of Israel, the Word HaShem has spoken
against you—against the whole family I brought up out of Egypt: You only have I
chosen of all the families of the earth; therefore I will punish you for all
your sins.
When a
trumpet sounds in a city, do not the people tremble? When disaster comes to a
city, has not HaShem caused it? Surely the Sovereign HaShem does nothing
without revealing His Plan to His servants the prophets. The lion has
roared—who will not fear? The Sovereign Lord has spoken—who can but prophesy?”
Threatening and scary
as the future may seem to us right now, let us NOT forget HaShem’s Promise to
Avraham of uncountable numbers of Israelites to re-settle the domain of their
forefathers – the Greater Israel (! – talk about explosive topics!)
Let us not lose out
of sight the miraculous phenomenon of a debilitated Judah having rebuilt a
model world leading nation and country in just 60 years – on a foundationless,
desert and swamp infested desolate countryside!
Let us BLESS Judah
for this!
Let us not forget
that it is according to the Prophecies of HaShem!
Let us NOT forget the
rest of these Prophecies of even greater to Come! – the 2nd Exodus!
Let us sculpt His
Eternal Promises on our minds and in our souls:
Genesis 28:15 - “I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go,
and I will bring you back to this Land. I will not leave you until I
have done what I have promised you.”

HaTor Vision for a re-united 12-Tribed Kingdom in Greater Israel
To understand more about the Return of the 10 Tribes of
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 super Event of all Times will entail Establishing the 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.

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.
Destination Yisra’el – It is the purpose of this blog to speak to the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel who have been raised to believe in the 1st century Christian Messiah called Jesus the Nazarene (Yahshua HaNotzri). Out of this belief system there have also risen many corruptions of his true historical life and his message.
It was he who stated that his divine mandate and sole mission was to the “Lost Sheep of the House of Israel”. This was a mission that was neither for the Gentiles nor the Covenanted Jews of the House of Israel in Judea. Neither would “The Nazarene” let any of his disciples go out in their own missions except to the Lost Tribes of Israel.
Matthew 15:24 – “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Isra’el”
Matthew 10:5 – “These twelve Yeshua sent out with the following instructions: ‘Don’t go into the territory of the Goyim (Gentiles), and don’t enter any town in Samaria, but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Isra’el”
We now thank OvadYah Avrahami, the director of Kol Ha Tor, a joint Orthodox Jewish and 10-Triber Mission located in Israel, bringing awareness of the imminent fulfillment of the Biblical Prophecies regarding the Redemption of the All Israel (12 Tribes Redeemed and Re-United) in this following article comparing two prime sacred traditions; the Hebrew-Judaic Pesach and the Christian Passover and their relevancy to the Return of the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel.
Is there a Reason for Celebration?
OvadYah Avrahami – “The new wave of awareness of late, of the Return, Reconciliation and Establishment of the re-united 12-Tribed Kingdom of G-d is opening many windows for contemplation. While the entire phenomenon unfolds, its confirmation is reliant on the ancient pillars of the Tanach and the foresight and writings of the Jewish Sages on these Prophetic issues. Yet, it has been greatly influenced by the ideas and directions of various religions which proceeded throughout the centuries in response to the Word of G-d.
It is in times like these that the ‘science’ of hindsight comes to its full rights. We shall apply this science in considering the scant and much hidden evidence from the Bible, of such a Celebration.
Firstly: Is there such a Celebration to look forward to?
Isaiah 25:6-9 - “On this mountain HaShem Almighty will prepare a feast of rich food for all peoples, a banquet of aged wine - the best of meats and the finest of wines. On this mountain He will destroy the shroud that enfolds all peoples, the sheet that covers all nations; He will swallow up death forever.
The Sovereign HaShem will wipe away the tears from all faces; He will remove His people’s disgrace from all the earth. HaShem has spoken. In that day they will say, ‘Surely this is our God; we trusted in Him, and He saved us. This is HaShem, we trusted in Him; let us rejoice and be glad in His salvation.’”
Ezekiel 37:22 - “And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all.”
The “Heavenly Banquet” in Jewish Traditions found in the Talmud, the Exodus Rabbah 25:8 - “Another explanation of ‘He shall dwell on high.’ (Isaiah 33:16). It is written, ‘For the L-rd your G-d brings you into a good land’ (Deuteronomy 8:7) - to see the table that is prepared in Paradise, as it says, ‘I shall walk before the L-rd in the lands of the living’ (Psalms 116:9). He [G-d] as it were sits above the patriarchs, and the patriarchs and all the righteous sit in his midst, as it says, ‘And they sit down at your feet’ (Deut 33:3), and He distributes portions to them.
Should you wonder at this, then recall how even in this world He placed Himself between the two cherubim for their sake... then how much more will this be so in Paradise? He will bring them the fruit from the Garden of Eden and will feed them from the Tree of Life.
Who will be the first to say Grace? All will respectfully request God to order one to say Grace; He will bid Michael say it; and he will bid Gabriel, and Gabriel the patriarchs, and they will give the honour to David, saying, ‘It befits an earthly king to bless the Heavenly King.’ They will hand over the cup to David, who will say, ‘I will lift up the cup of salvation and call upon the name of the L-rd.’... Hence ‘For the L-RD your G-d brings you into a good land,’ and for this reason does it say, ‘He shall dwell on high.”
Secondly: A Banquet like this – for reasons as these? Is it not sufficient reason for such a Celebration? Is it not the fulfillment of the central Theme of the Bible? – of all Life itself? – the establishment of the long awaited and long suffered for Kingdom of G-d?
In that day the Celebration Theme will be: “Surely this is our G-d! We trusted in Him, and He saved us. This is HaShem, we trusted in Him; let us rejoice and be glad in His salvation!”
Pesach Seder – does it hold such a Message for Celebration?
Is the Pesach Seder a metaphor of the Ingathering of the Tribes? Depicting a physical and spiritual release from the ‘Bondage of Egypt’; in this case a release from spiritual bondage in exile amongst the nations?
Jeremiah 16:14-15 – “However, behold, - days are coming – the word of HaShem – when it will no longer be said, ‘As HaShem lives, who took out the Children of Israel from the land of Egypt, but rather, ‘As HaShem lives, Who took out the Children of Israel from the land of the North and from all the lands where He had scattered them’; and I shall return them to their land, which I gave to their forefathers.
Behold, I shall send many fishermen – the word of Hashem – and they will fish them out, and afterwards I shall send many trappers and they will trap them from atop every mountain and every hill and from the crevices in the rocks. For My eyes are upon all their ways; they are not hidden from before Me, and their sin is not concealed from before My eyes. I shall repay them first for the repetition of their forefathers’ sins and transgression, for having desecrated My land; with their disgusting abominations and their detestations they have filled up My heritage.”
Depicting a “Second Exodus” – greater even than the First?
It seems that the Church has read such a Message from their ‘New Testament’ and is celebrating it in various forms which present a replacement for the Jewish Pesach Seder which the Church rejects. Not only do they reject the Original Biblical format as maintained by Judah, but they have in fact high-jacked the entire Divine Promise from its original recipients – Jewish Israel proper. The Church now entitles itself to being the fulfillment of the Ingathering – and to ownership of Zion, the Promised Land for the re-gathered Tribes of Israel!
Listen to the clear entitlement by the Pope of Roman Catholicism – but, before we do so, for those who are not familiar with Catholic vocabulary, let us clear two phrases used in this quote which are so common to Catholicism:
Eucharist - the Christian ceremony in which people eat bread and drink wine as a way of remembering Jesus Christ’s last meal at The Last Supper, before his crucifixion. In some Christian churches, this ceremony is called Communion or Holy Communion.
Eschatology - the body of religious doctrines concerning the human soul in its relation to death, judgment, heaven, and hell.
OvadYah Avrahami – “The article above, “Pesach – The Celebration of the 2nd Exodus Ingathering of the Tribes of Israel”was written in response to information provided by the Catholic spokesman, Dr. Brant Pitre, who presents several studies on what he regards as the ‘Hebrew Roots’ of many Roman Catholic traditions. From these writings, it seems that the Eucharist, as a main foundational pillar of Catholic theology, is regarded as essentially rooted in Biblical Jewish liturgy and presented by the Church as a replacement for what it regards as ‘an outmoded religion’ (Judaism).
Dr. Brant Pitre – “31. Reflecting on this mystery [of the Eucharist], we can say that Jesus' coming responded to an expectation present in the people of Israel, in the whole of humanity and ultimately in creation itself. By his self-gift, he objectively inaugurated the eschatological age.
Christ came to gather together the scattered People of God (cf. John 11:52) and clearly manifested his intention to gather together the community of the covenant, in order to bring to fulfillment the promises made by God to the fathers of old (cf. Jeremiah 23:3; Luke 1:55, 70). In the calling of the Twelve {Apostles}, which is to be understood in relation to the twelve tribes of Israel, and in the command he gave them at the Last Supper, before his redemptive passion, to celebrate his memorial, Jesus showed that he wished to transfer to the entire community which he had founded the task of being, within history, the sign and instrument of the eschatological gathering that had its origin in him.
Consequently, every Eucharistic celebration sacramentally accomplishes the eschatological gathering of the People of God. For us, the Eucharistic banquet is a real foretaste of the final banquet foretold by the prophets (cf. Isaiah 25:6-9) and described in the New Testament as "the marriage-feast of the Lamb" (Rev 19:7-9), to be celebrated in the joy of the communion of saints (100). (Post-Synodal Apostolic Exhortation, Sacrament of Charity, 30-31).”
OvadYah Avrahami – “As we have tried to show through the use of italics in this statement, the Church has been well aware of the ‘hidden’ Promise of the Ingathering of the Tribes of Israel. Whether they deliberately hid this message from the masses, or whether it was due to their own lack of insight – fact is, that it took all these centuries (2000 years) for the Ten Tribes exiled within Christianity, to wake up to their Hebraic Roots.
The evidence of this spiritual transformation, which forms the Main Theme of Biblical Prophecy, i.e. the re-identification and return of the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel to their Hebrew Roots and even to the physical Land of Israel, abounds across the entire earth. Millions of sincere and seriously searching non-Jewish Bible students are reverting to what they regard as their “Hebraic Roots” and in the process “coming out” of the Churches.
Meanwhile, the Church has been informed sufficiently in order to inspire its leadership to high-jack the Divine Promises for the Restoration of Israel and apply it to them in a process which has become known as “Replacement Theology”. Hence, there is no place in formal Christianity for the original recipients, viz. the original two Houses of Israel, that is, Judah and Lost 10-Israel.
Judah, being the target of these sentiments against their Divine Mandate, suffered physical persecution as a result throughout the centuries, across the entire earth, from country to country, pogrom upon pogrom. Consequently Judah was mainly inspired to cling to the historic allegory of the Pesach Seder, while the Ten Tribes in exile amongst the ‘replacement theologists’ were inspired by the ‘futuristic’ meaning thereof, though exposed also to the anti-Jewish spirit and the anti-Torah spirited interpretations of the Biblical Message by the Church.
It remains for both Houses of Israel, in these Times of Restoration of the Tabernacle of David, to consider the Pesach Message in its full context and to celebrate it in its rejuvenated and original spiritual meaning as a Key pointer to the Ingathering and establishment of the Messianic reunited 12-Tribed, Jewish Israel Kingdom to Come.”

************
The “Lost Sheep of the House of Israel” have begun their transformation back to their Hebrew-Judaic roots. Thousands are accepting the mandate that the G-d of Israel is preparing to redeem you and return you to the land of your forefathers, in Shomron, the biblical heartland of Israel? As “The Family”, we will soon fight the same physical and spiritual battles together with our brothers, the Jews of the House of Judah. This is part of G-d’s way of wooing each one of you, the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel, to return and be restored back into brotherhood with the Jews of the House of Judah so that He will send His Messiah to clean house of all the wickedness and corruption on Planet Earth.
If you want to learn more divinely led prophecies, we invite you to Contact “Kol Ha Tor Vision”, the Voice of the Turtledove.Here you will discover 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 super Event of all Times will bring the restoration and the Shomron Region, the Ancient Biblical Heartland of the Patriarchs plus the Judean Wilderness as part of the entire Land of Israel. Then we will witness the Divine as the “Land” will be restored and prepared for the Return of the Lost Tribes of the House of Israel and then the Redemption of All Israel.
If you would like to visit Israel and the land of your Hebrew-Israelite forefathers in the biblical lands of the Patriarchs Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, we invite you to Visit – “Shomron Lives!”, a Spiritual Retreat and Guest House in Samaria that offers tours of Biblical Samaria.
So today, we as the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel stand upon the terrace looking into the future of a “last days” in which the elements of the earth will be exposed again in exalted and fearsome celestial activities, known to all today, as the “Acts of G-d”. When these will come, we do not know, but all the hallmark signs say, “Soon!” Yet, we have other issues today, much like our ancient forefathers did as they were fleeing away from Egypt.
In such a time, as it was in the days of the Exodus, there were those fleeing with the Children of Israel, who with every momentous change would start complaining and with impetuous explosions seeking to mobilize a majority of the Israelites to blame the G-d of their forefathers and turn around and go back to Egypt. It was a challenge to the Bnei Yisra’el, yet especially after they had been given the Oracles of G-d verbally, and when Moses had gone up into the mountain to receive them literally engrave by the finger of the Divine, and then in a moment of impetuous impulsiveness, say, “Give us another god!” Moses is no longer here!
And so with the gold given by the Israelites for the service of the L-rd, and using the incantations of the demonic forces, they created a “Golden Calf” with which they could worship. These were not the true Israelites. They were called the “Erev Rav”
Who then are these Erev Rav? As BibleSearchers Reflection pondered upon this phenomenon back in 2005 after the Sharon government’s expulsion of the Orthodox Jewish families in Gush Katif in Gaza, it was suggested that this phenomenon will again arrive at the “end of days” as written in the mini-article, titled, “The Erev Rav, the Mixed Multitude”:
BibleSearchers Reflections – “According to Rav Israel Solomon in his book, the “Erev Rav” that is reportedly “sensationally correct,” the Erev Rav are the anti-type or what is called as the gilgulim “(reincarnates or last days anti-type) of the Sons of Bilaam” who led the mixed multitude that were mingled with the Children of Israel in the desert to construct the Golden Calf.
According to the Christian translations of this story in Exodus 32, the “people” are stated to be the Children of Israel. Not so, says Rav Solomon, the “people” were not the true Israelites but were actually the two sons of Balaam that stirred up the “mixed multitude” to murder Hur in the presence of his father, Aaron the high priest. They then threatened the life of Aaron as a hostage that he must do as they dictated. Then Aaron cried out to all the people, “tomorrow there will be a holy day to the L-rd".
According to the Oral Torah that was brought by the word of mouth only through the representatives that were the guardians of the written Holy Torah, the Maggid of Kochav
Maggid Yaakov Dov Ben-Lieb of Kochav – “The two sons of Bilaam had other plans. Using the silver plate which brought Yosef’s coffin out of the Nile, on which was inscribed "Rise, bull rise", these two reprehensible men took the gold, which Aharon simply touched and had thrown into the smelter, and instantaneously formed through sorcery a golden calf. The entire purpose of the sordid affair in the eyes of Israel was that the purpose of serving G-d was to create prosperity. In the minds of the ex-slave nation prosperity was utopia.”
Today the golden calf is exemplified best in the American culture as told in the article “American Twilight” written by Maggid Dov Ben-Lieb. This corrupt culture has taken over the government of Israel today where Arial Sharon and Shimon Peres’ golden calf has given them their own golden nest egg.
This is as long as they guarantee to protect the interests and the assets of the United States and Europe and the assets of the members of the Council of Foreign Relations who own ninety percent of the industrial companies and news media in Israel today. As Ben Lieb stated, “These two sons of Bilaam were talking turkey over a scrumptious dinner when the sword struck.”
The Maggid of Kochav Yaakov continues in the analysis of Zechariah text:
Zechariah 13:7 – “Strike the Shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered; then I will turn My hand against the little ones.”
As the Maggid writes:
Maggid Yaakov Dov Ben-Lieb – “Hach et HaRo’eh!" screams the next verse telling us very clearly that of the two men specifically the "Shepherd" should "be struck" or "have a stroke". "Let the flock disperse." This particular half of a verse can have two different meanings. The more obvious meaning is that those wayward Jews from the "mixed multitude" and those who get all of their information about the world around them from Israel’s "Does the world love us today" media will disperse from the Erev Rav’s new political party, Kadima, leaving the wretched refuse known as the Erev Rav with no mass following.
The other possible meaning could be bad news for yours truly here in Kochav Yakov. It could mean that all the places that Sharon built up will be made Judenrein ("Cleansed of Jews" denoting areas where all Jews had been either murdered or deported) for a short while until Yerushalayim (Jerusalem) is divided and the miraculous salvation commences.”
The next two verses in Zechariah suggest that Plan B in America will probably be the future of what we are seeing in the Land of Israel today. It is sad and sobering that we might be witnessing prophecy before our own eyes but most of Christianity is in their Laodicean experience; neither hot nor cold. They are clueless that the streams of prophecy are sweeping our globe and that even though they may be the “elect” that are the Lost Sheep of the House of Israel, they may also be deceived."
If the prophetic picture is correct, Laodicean Christians will not wake up until global catastrophes will rain down upon America and the rest of the world.
Revelation 3:14-22 – “And to the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write, ‘These things says the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God: ‘I know your works, that you neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth.
Because you say, ‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’ – and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked – I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see.
As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent. Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’”
We continue to the next verse from when the Lord called upon the angel to “strike the Shepherd” in the prophetic utterances of Zechariah. The message to the Laodicean Church and the message to inhabitants in the land of Israel at the time of the end is the same. “Buy of me gold tried in fire” will be the refinement of the Jewish people to their final spiritual state when their innocence has now been taken away from them. Let us look at the response of the Jewish remnant “saints” and the response back to them by the G-d of Israel.
Zechariah 13:8 – “And it shall come to pass in all the land,” say the L-rd, “that two-thirds in it shall be cut off and die, but one-third shall be left in it: I will bring the one-third through the fire, will refine them as silver is refined, and test them as gold is tested. They will call on My Name and I will answer them. I will say, “This is My people”; and each one will say, “The L-rd is my God.”
And catastrophes it may be, both in Israel, America, and Europe and around the world. We can understand now that the plagues in Egypt, the cleaving of the Red Sea between Sinai and Arabia, and soon to come the inferno of fire at the mount called Sinai, were all a part of G-d’s Plan of Redemption for His chosen people. They came with an “Angel” that made a “Pass-over” the land of Egypt and placed G-d’s judgment upon the eldest son and the first born calf, sheep, and goats, except those that the Children of Israel owned in Goshen.
Since “angels” and “planets” are represented together in Hebrew cosmology, this gives us good reason to suspect that the final Exodus of the Jews and Lost Israelites from Northern Europe and North America in specifics will come with another solar body, a rouge planet, comet, or even a dark binary star, such as Planet X, as suggested in BibleSearchers Reflections series of article beginning with Part One “Is “Planet X God’s Divine Judgment during the Final Apocalypse of Redemption?”
As the Children of Israel, finally settled with their tents encamped and prepared to meet their G-d. As the ancient text proclaims;
Exodus 19:16-19 (parts) – “On the third day, when it was morning, there was thunder and lightning and a heavy cloud on the mountain, and the sound of the shofar was very powerful, and the entire people that was in the camp shuddered…All of Mount Sinai was smoking because HaShem had descended upon it in the fire; its smoke ascended like the smoke of the furnace, and the entire mountain shuddered exceedingly. The sound of the shofar grew continually much stronger; Moses would speak and G-d would respond to him with a voice.”
On this day of Shavuot, the G-d of Israel came down, for a moment of time, to dwell with His people. It was not just the Jews, but All Israel; the Jews of the House of Judah, and the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel. There they stood in rapt silence with fear and awe in the Presence of the Master of the Universe. The “sound of the shofar” ricochet around the world, as the voice of the Almighty One spoke forth the words of the “Ten Commands”.
There in the presence of their Creator, He transformed His own people. They were no longer a group of tribes, but from now on they would become the “Nation of G-d”, a “Kingdom of Priests” and a “Holy Nation”. Here they, as the Nation of G-d would receive HaShem’s Torah, the blue-print of life. To keep it was life, and if they continued to keep the Torah, it was suggested that they could be restored back into oneness with the Divine just as Adam and Eve lived in Gan Eden upon their own merits, and genetically restored back to the exalted state of Adam Kadman; fully restored to the “Divine Image of G-d”.
That was not a far-fetched idea, for Enoch was taken from earth to the world to come. According to the Book of Jude, Moses was resurrected and claimed from the clutches of the Powers of Darkness and restored to the “World to Come” and the Prophet Elijah was taken up in the Merkabah, the Heavenly Flying Chariot, and like Enoch was restored without seeing death.
The Children of Israel when they left Egypt were existing at the lowest state of spiritual contamination. According to the sages of Judah, this was called the 49th level of Tuma, or “spiritual contamination”. One more step and their existence would have been annihilation. The purpose of the great rescue mission by G-d was to restored them back to the exalted stature of their forefathers; the Patriarch Moses, Isaac, and Jacob.
It wasn’t that the Torah could not have been given to any of the nations on Planet Earth, but only to the peoples that were willing to be “sanctified”. As the sages of Judah have explained G-d’s Proposal:
Chumash – “Although the purpose of Israel’s coming to Mount Sinai was to receive the Torah, and G-d – as the Creator and the One Who had delivered them from slavery – had the right to demand that they accept it, such was not the Divine Plan. As the familiar narrative of the Sages teaches (Sifrei, Vezos Haberachah): G-d offered the Torah to other nations, as well, but they all refused it because the commandments of the Torah were in conflict with their national characteristics.
Esau’s offspring would not tolerate a law that prohibited murder; Ishmael’s could not live with a law that banned thievery; and Lot’s would not accept a ban on adultery. Now it was Israel’s turn…
The significance of the above dialogue is that human beings have natures that are rooted in their innermost spiritual forces. That nations have their own unique characteristics is the message of centuries of history. The Torah can become the national heritage only of a people that is suited to its demands. Nations nurtured in impurity and wickedness – such as the bloodshed, dishonesty, and immorality of Esau, Ishmael, and Lot – could no more accept the Torah than a midget can touch a vaulted ceiling. That Israel was willing to accept the Torah without even inquiring as to its contents was because it had inherited the spiritual heritage of the Patriarchs that its cousins had rejected.” (Parashas Yisro)
So today, the final Battle of the Ages is over the Torah. Esau (Edom) as Rome and Roman Christianity and her children who refuse to return to the “Faith of their Forefathers”, the Hebrew-Judaic faith of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob will soon confront the Jews of the House of Judah. The question, for everyone whose ancestral lineage come from the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel, are you willing to return to Torah observance and become part of the restoration of All Israel? Are you willing to accept the Revelation mandate that was given in the Second Great Awakening of 1844; “Come out of her My people!” and return to your Hebrew-Judaic roots? Here is your message from the Divine.
Revelation 18:1-2 – “I saw another angel coming down from heaven. He had great authority, the earth was lit up by his splendor. He cried with a loud voice, She had Fallen! She has fallen! Bavel the Great! She has become a home for demons, prison for every unclean spirit, prison for every unclean, hated bird…
Then I hear another voice out of heaven say: “My people, come out of her! So that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not be affect by her plagues!”
The Northern Kingdom of the House of Israel’s apostasy was very simple. They wanted to do their own thing. They did not want to worship during the festivals of the L-rd in Solomon’s Temple; they did not want Jerusalem to be the center of spiritual enlightenment for their children; they did not want the kings that were dynastic heirs of the Throne of Kings David and Solomon to be their kings; they did not want the rabbinic jurists to be the legal decision makers on halakhic decisions; and neither did they want the G-d of Israel to be their G-d.
The time is short, for the Drama of the Ages is about to unfold with all the intensity of G-d’s judgment, for the “Time of G-d’s Judgment has Come!” It’s time you begin to look with favor upon your brother, the Jews of the House of Judah and come to them with repentance for the sins of your forefathers. When we come to the Jews of Judah with love and appeal for their forgiveness, the G-d of All Israel will look with favor upon us, the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel, and Master of the Universe will give the Jews the open hearts to welcome us, as our elder brother, back home! When Judah and Joseph, representing All Israel are united, the end will be come to its full completion. This is the message of Shavuot, that the final outpouring of the Ruach HaKodesh will come, when our (Jews and Israelites) hearts are in “One Accord!”
Postlude –“The Heroine of Shavuot is Ruth, whose book is read at every Shavuot in the Synagogues around the world. Ruth was the descendant of the Moabites, the children of Lot in an incestuous relationship with his daughter after Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed. All descendants of Lot were banned from associating with the Hebrew Israelite society for ten generations. While reading the Book of Ruth on Shavuot, you might be interested to remember the following information.
The generations from Adam to Terah were 20 generations.
The generations from Abram to Salmon who married Rahab when the Israelites destroyed the fortified city of Jericho was 10 generations. Rahab as a Righteous Gentile was privileged to be converted and assimilated into the Hebrew-Israelite faith and economy and privileged to be the great-great grandmother of King David.
The generations from Abram and Lot to Boaz who married Ruth was the 11th generation from the era of Abraham and Lot. Ruth was free to return to the faith of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, for the curse of Lot was over in the 11th generation. So she was blessed to become the great grandmother of King David.
For the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel.
Today, the generation of the rebellion of the Northern Kingdom of Israel was 103 generations ago. Though lost, there never was put a generational curse upon the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel, for if they were willing to repent and return to the Torah faith of the Jews (Judaism) they would be welcome back into the fellowship of the House of Judah who in part remained in the covenant of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
Today, the children born today are the 140th generation since the days of Adam’s creation. They will be the ones who will be privileged to enter and live out their whole lives in “World to Come”.
Today also the 110th generation from our Patriarch Jacob will also be the children that will “pass-over” from this era of evil and wickedness into the “World to Come of the Messiah”.
Consider the fact that King David, if our Patriarch Jacob was the 110th generation, and if your lineage goes through the Royal House of King David and Solomon, then a child born just prior to the coming of the Messiah David ben Dovid will be the 100th generation.
If that is true then Prince Salmon and Rahab from Jericho would be the 103th ancestor and Prince Boaz and Naomi would be the 102nd generational grandparents. That would make, as we have stated, that child’s ancestor, Prince Salmon was also a child then he and his family fled Egypt with his parents. It was he who crossed over the Red Sea as the military of the Pharaoh of Egypt were destroyed and their salvation was assured.
It was also this child, Salmon, who witnessed with his parents the G-d of Israel speaking to all 2 million Hebrew Israelites at the Mount called Sinai. This is like saying that our great-great grandfather was the first generation born in America after the signing of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776.
Prince Salmon became the generation that crossed over the Jordan River after his parents were part of the generation that rebelled and refused to cross over after the report of the ten spies who returned from a secret commando operation to spy out the land of Canaan.
Since Prince Salmon’s parents were the 6th generation in descent from his Patriarch Jacob, is it not amazing that he was exactly the 7th generations after their Patriarch Jacob left Canaan and went down to Egypt to live under the rule of his son, Joseph, the Visier of Egypt. Yet, the 7th generation after the Patriarch Jacob were entering into the Promised Land.
Therefore, it was the 7th generation from the Patriarch Judah and the 10th from their Patriarch Abraham that witnessed the impregnable walls of Jericho falling before their eyes. This era of catastrophes would continue about every 50 years and remembered as a Jubilee cycle of catastrophes until the days of King Hezekiah when Jerusalem was spared destruction by the Assyrian king Sennacherib’s army of 180,000 troops, who were vaporized by a flux of greater a billion volts outside the walls of Jerusalem.
It was also the son of this same King Sennacherib, King Esarhaddon who returned again forty five years after Sennacherib who was wounded in the destruction and vaporization of his entire army that returned to his death back in Nineveh. This time he returned, the Northern Kingdom of Israel was a devastated land. The ruins are still there in Shomron in Israel today. King Esarhaddon did not go to the Northern Kingdom of Judah to destroy her, but understanding full well that HaShem’s judgment would be upon him, he instead went to take King Hezekiah’s son, King Manasseh, put him in chains and reprimanded him for being such a cruel and heartless king to his people, the Jews of the Kingdom of Judah. King Manasseh later repented, reformed his way, and returned to rule in Jerusalem, and now serve the G-d of his people.
Is it possible that the G-d of order decreed that Good King Hezekiah be the 10th ruler of the divinely appointed Royal Dynastic House of Kings David and Solomon, and even though the 11th ruler was the most wicked king of all the kings of Judah, he was redeemed by the Assyrian King Esarhaddon who literally “spanked” him and told him to shape up, gave him a mind altering experience of being kept a prisoner in irons until he made a spiritual reformation in his own life.
Today, the generation born the last 20 years are the 99th generation since King David, and the 89th generation from King Hezekiah. 103 generations ago the Lost Tribes of Israel were sent into exile. 100 generations, King David was ruling the largest empire of the world.
Today, 100 generations later, the Jews of the House of Judah and the Lost Tribes of the House of Israel are awaiting the return of the Messiah, David the son of David. By the promise pledged on the Holy Name of G-d, G-d has promised that He will redeem us because He alone will honor His Holy Name (Ezekiel 36) and restore us back into fellowship with the Jews of the House of Judah (Ezekiel 37). After that the end will come! This is HaShem’s “appointed time” for the age of man is now over and the era of the “Age of the Messiah” is soon to come.

And during this same time, the G-d of Israel is wooing each one of you, the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel, to return and be restored back into brotherhood with the Jews of the House of Judah so that He will send His Messiah to clean house of all the wickedness and corruption on Planet Earth.

The Red Sea near Dahab on the Spectacular Views looking from the Sinai Peninsula toward Har Karim where the G-d of Israel came down and Dwelled with the Hebrew-Israelites and gave them His Blue-Print of Life; the Torah
It was in the grassy plains surrounding Mount Horeb (Mount called Sinai) that Moses was called forth to meet with HaShem, the Master of the Universe. In turn, Moses was given two stone tablets containing the blueprint of what the rules for living a Torah-filled life is like. To keep them was life. To reject and to abandon them was eventual death. This could be now and potentially prohibited to “share a part in the world to come” when HaShem would come to dwell forever with His people, and rule with His manifested “Image”; the Messiah.
For seven days, Children of Israel had traversed the desolate landscape from Egypt down along the Gulf of Suez, traversed over to the Red Sea and then headed up Sea of Aqaba, routed back and then on the coastline of the Red Sea, they waited for the next signal by the G-d of Israel. Let’s let the Jewish Catastrophist, Immanuel Velikovsky cite the story:
Immanuel Velikovsky – “The Book of Exodus then proceeds to tell how the Israelites were pursued by the army of the king, who regretted their escape. They were trapped between the mountains and sea. The night was frightful. A heavy loud darkened the sky, which was rent by incessant lightning. A hurricane raged the whole night, and a dawn the sea was cleft, the waters torn by a double tide of gigantic force. The slaves passed through; the pursuers followed in chariots; but the waters returned, and the Egyptians with their king, fleeing against them, met their death in the waves.” (Velikovsky, “Ages in Chaos”, 15)
The Children of Israel then, in a moment of jubilee, and reached a state of prophetic utterances. Yet, they also had to witness the calamitous and bitter end of those that rebel against G-d and by their rebellion, the G-d of Israel is not able to redeem or save them. Such was the fate of the Egyptian king and his once mighty army.
As the Egyptian soldiers washed upon the shores, according to Tanchuma (Aggadic midrash on the Pentateuch, attributed to the school of the Amora Rabbi Tanchuma bar Abba of Eretz Yisrael (late 4th c) and cited by the Jewish sage Rashi (Rabbi Shlomo Yitzhaki – 1040-1105)in the Jewish Chumash wrote:
Chumash on Rashi – “The Egyptian army, overconfident in their easy victory over the Children of Israel, “bedecked their horses with every manner of jewel-studded gold and silver ornaments.” As a result, the Jews were able to go away from the sea with greater wealth than they had taken from Egypt, and they wanted to remain there to collect even more booty. Moses restrained them from this over-infatuation with material goods.” (Parashas Beshalach)
It was at the Red Sea just after witnessing the great hand of deliverance by the G-d of Israel, they in their exultation, achieved a high level of prophecy by witnessing the revelations of G-d’s power and holiness. This culminated in the prophetic utterances of the Song of Miriam. (Exodus 15:20).
The Song of Miriam began with; “I shall sing to HaShem for He is exalted…” According to the Jewish Sage Rashi (Rabbi Shlomo Yitzchaki (1040-1105), in the peshat or plain sense of the meaning, they were exalting G-d for bringing them salvation when their destruction and annihilation appeared to imminent. Yet, this was written in the future sense from the Midrashic allusions that this song will be sung again in the future Messianic times when All Israel will sing praised to the Almighty One of Israel once again.
At times we have the privilege to stand upon the summits of mountains and in exultation witness the glorious sunrises and sunsets. Yet to leave those regions, and travel through the valleys and ravine below, we have the tendencies to become bitter.
And so did the Children of Israel. It was time now to begin their real Torah lessons and prepare themselves for that moment of time in which they will stand below the summit of the mount called Sinai and witness directly the power and manifestations of the Divine Himself.
According to the Talmud in Arachin 15a-b, the G-d of Israel would step by step bring all two million of the Children of Israel through “Ten Trials” before they would be prepared to stand before the Master of the Universe and become a nation in “covenant” with Him.
We are so quick to accuse the Children of Israel of unfaithfulness, but these are the same trials in which each of have to overcome in our daily lives. How will I feed my family when I lose my job? What are we to do is a another Hurricane Katrina plows through a mega-city like Houston, Texas and leave that city without electricity, water, gasoline and provisions of food and medication for upwards to three months.
Are our lives any much different than the challenges to mobilize two million Israelites from Egypt to the Promised Land? The logistics alone are enough are enough to give rational credence to doubt the reliability of the historical texts that the Israelites invaded the Land of Canaan and instead chose to accept a slow migration of a people that eventually took over a land and its indigenous Canaanite populations that were descendants of the House of Ham
So began Torah Lesson Number One which they quickly flunked. They had become so involved in the momentous ecstasy of deliverance that then with a sudden relapse into greed tried to collect all the treasures of Egypt that they could accumulate. Now they had to be led away by the Pillar of Fire from the Red Sea region into the wilderness of Shur. There they had to learn to depend upon their G-d that the Almighty One of Israel.
Understood, as learned prior; the plains of the regions were no doubt verdune with large regions of pasturage areas for their flocks, for it would take large regions of lakes and rivers to supply the water needs for two million people, plus all of their flocks of cattle, sheep and goats. So within three days, their travel provisions of water were becoming depleted for human consumption and for their animals. With expectations, they arrived at the Oasis of Marah.
Immediately they began to complain, and now they had to learn their first lesson of “how to depend upon the L-rd.” Their G-d was trying to show them they He would supply every one of their needs. Yet, when they came to their water supplier at the Oasis of Marah, they could only find “bitter water”. According to Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch (1800-1888):
Chumash on Rabbi Hirsch – “The purpose of Israel’s journey through the Wilderness was to show that G-d is involved in daily, “petty” human affairs, as well as in cosmic occurrences. It is easy to think, as many still do, that G-d had preformed a miracle worthy of His grandeur – but what did that have to do with ordinary, everyday drinking water? Consequently, when there was no water, the nation feared that it was being left to its own devices. It was not wrong in asking for water – thirsty people truly have a right - but in protesting so vociferously?” (Parashas Beshalach)
This small vignette depicts how quick we as humans can praise the L-rd for all the wonderful things we have received and when we come upon something that displeases us, we turn into rebellion against the G-d of Israel. So G-d told Moses to take a tree nearby and throw it into the water and the water became sweet.
It was the purpose of HaShem to show His people that being poor or deprived of material deprivation was secondary to a person’s own spiritual condition. We may talk about the G-d of Israel, but do we talk with praise and exaltation or bitterness and a “poor-old-me” attitude? It was also G-d’s was of showing His chosen people, that if you deprive yourselves of Torah study for three days, you will descend back into a life of negative attitudes and outlook on life. This is why the rabbis stated that the Torah must be studied a minimum of three days a week; on the Saturday Shabbat, plus Monday and Wednesday.
Watching the tree, which had bitter leaves” turn the water from bitterness to sweetness became also a spiritual exercise. The Bnei Yisrael (Children of Israel had to purposely change their own attitude, from negative thoughts to positive expressions of thanksgiving to G-d for even the small things of life. Because the people responded to G-d so positively, He gave them their first commandment:
Exodus 15:26 – “If you hearken diligently to the voice of HaShem, your G-d, and do what is just in His eyes, give ear to His commandments and observe all His decrees, then any of the diseases that I placed in Egypt, I will not bring upon you, for I am HaShem, your Healer.”
As the Pillar of Fire moved forward, the G-d of Israel pleased with their change of personal attitude moved them to their next destination; the Spring of Elim. What a pleasant place this must have been! As they arrived at Elim, their eyes were amazed; twelve springs and seventy date palms? This was truly a mecca; water the elixir of life and the most favorite sweet desert in the Middle East; dates.
As the vast throng descended around the next site of water, they now began to understand with trial and error or truth and consequences. They looked back upon their years in Egypt and understood that their exile in Egypt and the suffering they had to experience were to teach them to purge their lives of sin and repent; in more modern words, “change your life and don’t look back”.
Interesting, the sages of Judah dug deep to extract the deeper mystical and allegorical meanings of this experience. Collectively they exclaim that by accepting the pleasant yoke of the Torah study even with the bitter water, the Bnei Yisra’el (Children of Israel) would now be privileged to move to a new land with sweet water and fruit.
According to Rabbi Bachya ben Asheribn Halawa(Rabbi Bachya – mid 13th c to 1340) in the Mechilta, these 12 springs of water and 70 date palms were prepared by the Divine Foresight of G-d prepared since the Creation of the world as G-d was anticipating the arrival of His chosen ones heading to the Mount called Sinai, to meet their Creator who was a “covenant” making Friend with their forefathers; Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
How long they stayed in this Oasis Paradise, we do not know, but not for long. Their journey was not over. They had only 49 weeks, or seven weeks of weeks for their educational experience to be completed before the moment of their graduation on the 50th at the hallowed ground of Horeb called Sinai. It took seven days for them to get to the Red Sea, where Pharaoh and his army would confront the power and majesty of the Holy One of Israel.
The next lesson in their school in the wilderness, according to Ibn Ezra was to be the greatest of all miracles. It would be greater than the splitting of the Red Sea. It would be the greatest challenge for all the Children of Israel. They were now they were in the midst of a vast wilderness, the Wilderness of Sin and even though they had meat from their flocks; their provisions of matza and dough were now running out. It involved the most basic needs of life, grain, the “staff of life” they were just beginning to harvest in Egypt when the plagues were destroying the land around them. Now with the grain stores depleted for them and their children, what were they to do?
From the “sweetened water of Marah” it now appeared to the Israelites that they were just wandering, and with no provisions of food. Even the dates of the palm trees of Marah had been consumed. It was now the 30th day (15th Iyar) since the beginning of the Exodus on the 15th of Nisan and now they were panicking. Little did they know that in 20 days (5th of Sivan) they were being standing before in the Presence of the Divine?
We would think they would take counsel of each of their tribal leaders who then would present the collective problems to Moses and Aaron. Is this not the mark of accepting Divine authority? Is this not the reason why it is important today, to accept rabbinic authority, for the lessons of respect for divine authority were the first three lessons the Children of Israel had to learn?
Was this a problem the leadership of Moses, Aaron and the tribal elders could solve themselves or was this a problem that they would have to present to the G-d of Israel? Quickly the lessons of Marah and Elim were cast aside. Quickly they had forgotten how the Almighty One was intensely involved in their welfare. First it was water, now it was food. The very basic provisions of our lives are also the very moments of our lives that we seek to jump ship and swim alone all by ourselves without a divine lifeboat. At this moment of great discomfort and fear, the G-d of Israel gave them “manna”.
According to the Jewish sage, Ibn Ezra (Rabbi Avraham Ibn Ezra – c. 1089-1164), the giving of the manna was the greatest of all the miracles of the Exodus. It was greaten that the salvation of the Hebrew-Israelites and the destruction of Pharaoh’s army in watery cauldron of the Sea, and all the miracles they witnessed in Goshen in Egypt, where they alone were protected and the rest of the empire of the Pharaoh was being destroyed. The reason the manna was the greatest miracle, was that it alone provided food for the children of Israel for the next 40 years, until they had crossed the Jordan into the Promised Land.
Now the Children of Israel by turning south were moving into the Wilderness of Sin. Even though the Bnei Yisra’el (Children of Israel) were migrating through lush meadows, forests and valleys of land that were 29 generations removed from Adam and 19 generations after the Great Flood of Noah, the high water of the Flood was still evaporating away and seeping in the subterranean aquifers below, but for a strange reason that land appeared unsettled. Something strange was happening.
There were many reasons to feel a certain disquiet within one’s own soul. They had just witnessed many catastrophes and many miracles that gave witness that the Almighty One of Israel was living in the midst of them. The Children of Israel had escaped the imperial land of Egypt in an era of great catastrophes and calamities that destroyed that land for many generations. The same destructive powers were exhibited over the Red Sea (Sea of Reeds) as the great hand of the Divine destroyed the most technically advance military force in the world.
But the catastrophes were more widespread than accepted by most scholars to date. Let us again appeal to the epic work of Immanuel Velikovsky in his seminal book, “Ages in Chaos”:
Immanuel Velikovsky – “If we do not limit ourselves to the few passages from the Book of Exodus cited in support of the idea that Mount Sinai was a volcano, the activity of which impressed the Israelites, but turn our attention to the many other passages in the various other books of the Scriptures referring to the Exodus, we soon feel bound to make the unusual admission that, if the words mean what they say, the scope of the catastrophe must have exceeded by far the extent of the disturbance that could be cause by one active volcano. Volcanic activity spread far and wide, and Mount Sinai was but one f urnace in a great plain of smoking furnaces.
Earth, sea, and sky participated in the upheaval. The sea overflowed the land, and lava gushed out of the riven ground. The Scriptures thus describe the uproar of the unchained elements:
Psalms 18:8-11,13-16 – “As the earth quaked and roared, the foundations of the mountains shook; they quaked when His wrath flared. Smoke rose up in His nostrils, a devouring fire from His mouth, blazing coals blazed forth Him. He bent down the heavens and descended, with thick cloud beneath His feet. He mounted a cherub and flew; He swooped on the wings of the wind…
From out of the brilliance that is before Him His clouds passed over, with hail and fiery coals. And Hashem thundered in the heaven, the Most High gave forth His voice – hail and fiery coals. He sent forth His arrows and scattered them; many lightning bolts, and He terrified them.”
Psalms 97:4-5 – “Fire goes before Him and consumes His enemies all around, His lightning bolts lit up the world, (the inhabitants of) the earth saw and tremble. Mountains melted like wax before Hashem, before the L-rd of all the earth.”
Job 9:5-6 – “It is He Who uproots mountains and people) do not know, when He overturns them in His anger; Who shakes the earth from its place, and its pillars tremble; Who gives the command to the sun, and it does not shine; and seals up the stars; Who also stretches out the heavens, and tread upon the crests of the sea; Who made Ursa Minor, Orion and Pleiades, and the Southern Constellations;…”
Judges 5:4-5 – “HaShem, as You left Seir, as You strode from the fields of Edom, the earth quaked and even the heavens trickled; even the clouds dripped water. Mountains melted before HaShem – as did Sinai – Before HaShem, the G-d of Israel.”
The last quotation is from the Song of Deborah, one of the oldest fragment inserted in the Scriptures…The pious imagination conceives these utterances to be only metaphoric…Is the following a description of flood and ebb in the salt marshes in Egypt:
Psalms 18:16 – “And the depths (channels) of water became visible, the foundations of the earth were laid bare (became visible)”
Folklore does not work in such an indiscriminating manner. These narratives of geologic changes, persistently repeated in the above and many other similar passages in connection with the time of the Exodus, must have had some underlying experience that folklore molded and remodeled. The experience, according to the Scriptures, was so majestic and terrible that even after a long line of succeeding generations it could not be forgotten…
The nights under the raging sky of the wilderness that were torn by unceasing lightings, when flaming lava flowed and hills melted, were unforgettable. During the long years in which the Israelites lived in their land, they never forgot the convulsion of the desert, the explosion of the burning mountain, the fury of the waters. The events of these weeks or months, when the surface of the earth underwent violent changes in its tectonic structure, became the most important tradition of this nation.
The scriptural tradition persists that before the Israelites left Egypt this land was visited by plagues, forerunners of a great holocaust caused by frenzied elements. When the Israelites departed from the country they witnessed gigantic tidal waves on the sea; farther off, in the desert, they experience spasmodic movement of the earth; surface and volcanic activity on the great scale, with lava gushing out of the cleft ground, suddenly yawning chasms, and springs disappearing or becoming bitter.” (Velikovsky, “Ages in Chaos”, pages 19-22)
Later Immanuel would add more depth to his writings on the catastrophes that occurred during the time of the Exodus, when he published his book, “Worlds in Collision”.
Immanuel Velikovsky - “Two celestial bodies were driven near to each other. The interior of the terrestrial globe pushed toward the exterior. The earth, disturbed in its rotation, developed heat. The land surface became hot. Various sources of many peoples describe the melting of the earth’s surface and the boiling of the sea.
The earth burst and lava flowed. The Mexican sacred book, Popol-Vul, the Manuscript Cakchiquel, the Manuscript Troano all record how the mountains in every part of the Western Hemisphere simultaneously gushed lava. The volcanoes that opened along the entire chain of the Cordilleras and in other mountain ranges and on flat land vomited fire, vapor, and torrents of lava.
These and other Mexican sources relate how, at the closing hours of the age that was brought to an end by the rain of fire, mountains swelled under the pressure of molten masses and new ridges rose; new volcanoes sprang out of the earth, and streams of lava flowed out of the cleft earth. (Psalms 46:3-6)
Events underlying Greek and Mexican traditionsare narrated in the Scriptures:
Psalms 46:2-4 – “G-d is a refuge and strength for us, a help in distress, very accessible. Therefore, we shall not be afraid when the earth is transformed, and mountains collapse into the heart of the seas; when its waters rage and are muddied, mountains quake in His Majesty, Selah.”
Nahum 1:2-5 (parts) – “HaShem, His path is in the storm and in a tempest, and clothes are the midst of His feet. He rebuked the sea and makes it dry, and makes all the rivers parched. Bashan and Carmel become devastated, and the flower of Lebanon becomes devastated. Mountains quake because of Him and the hills melt; the earth smolders from before Him the world and all who dwell in it.”
The rivers steamed, and even the bottom of the sea boiled here and there. “The sea boiled, all the shores of the ocean boiled, all the middle of it boiled,” says the Zend-Avesta. The star Tistrya made the sea boil. (The Zend-Avesta (Pt. II, p. 95 of J. Darmester’s translation, 1883); Carnoy, Iranian Mythology, p. 268)
The traditions of the Indians retain the memory of this boiling of the water in river and sea. The tribes of British Columbia tell: “Great clouds appeared… such a great heat came, . . . that finally the water boiled. People jumped into the streams and lakes to cool themselves, and died.” (“Kaska Tales” collected by J.A. Teit, Journal of American Folklore, XXX (1917), 440.)
On the North Pacific coast of America the tribes insist that the ocean boiled: “’It grew very hot… many animals jumped into the water to save themselves, but the water began to boil.” (S. Thompson, Tales of the North American Indians (1929); H.B. Alexander, North American Mythology (1916), p. 235. The Indians of the Southern Ute tribe in Colorado record in their legends that the pillar of fire and of smoke leveled mountains. (R.H. Lowie,” Southern Ute,” Journal of American Folk-lore, XXXVII (1924).
Jewish tradition, as preserved in the rabbinical sources, declared that the mire at the bottom of the Sea of Passage was heated. “The Lord fought against the Egyptians with the pillar of cloud of fire.” (Ginzberg, Legends, III, 49.) The rabbinical sources say also that the pillar of fire and of smoke leveled mountains. (Ibid, II, 375; III, 316; VI, 116. Tractate Berakhot, 59a-59b.)
Hesiod in his Theogony, relating the upheaval caused by a celestial collision, says: ‘”The huge earth groaned. . . . A great part of the huge earth was scorched by the terrible vapor and melted as tin melts when heated by man’s art . . . or as iron, which is hardest of all things, is softened by glowing fire in mountain glens.” (Hesiod, Theogony (trans. Evelyn-White), II. 856 ff.)
According to the traditions of the New World, the profile of the land changed in a catastrophe, new valleys were formed, mountain ridges were torn apart, new gulfs were cut out, ancient heights were overturned and new ones sprang up. The few survivors of the ruined world were enveloped in darkness, “the sun in some way did not exist.” And in intervals in the light of blazing fires they saw the silhouettes of new mountains.
The Mayan sacred book Popol-Vuh says that the god “rolled mountains” and “removed mountains,” and great and small mountains moved and shaked.” Mountains swelled with lava. Coniraya-Viracocha, the god of the Incas raised mountains from the flat land and flattened other mountains. (Brasseur, Sources de I’histoire primitive du Mexique , pp. 30,,35, 37, 47.)
And similarly, ”When Israel went out of Egypt . . . the sea saw and fled . . . the mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs . . . Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord.” (Psalms 114:1-7) “Which removeth the mountains . . . which overturneth them in his anger; which shaketh the earth out of her place . . . which commandeth the sun and it riseth not . . . which alone spreadeth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the waves of the sea.” (Job 9:5-8) (Immanuel Velikovsky, Worlds in Collision, Pocket Books, 1950, pg. 105-107)
Who wouldn’t be scared in a world with such calamities? We today would be no different, except in the strong belief of the truth of the prophets of Israel that our salvation is assured. If this comprehension eventually seeps into your psychic, will you then begin to comprehend that it was not just the forefathers of the Jews that walking through a volcanic cataclysm on the way to the Promised Land but that it was your forefathers, The Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel that were there also.
Are we as the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel more afraid of dying, or are we more afraid of not being a participant in the “world to come”? Let us not forget that Jesus the Nazarene was an Orthodox Jew who lived his life above the “letter of the Torah Law”, and then let us not forget his admonition; “If you want to be my disciple, “Follow Me!” Maybe it’s time for us to relook at our Hebrew-Judaic Torah roots, that G-d covenanted us to be?

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.
