The 1931 New York City Empire State Building
Part Three – 911 and the “Last Crisis”
In the twenty two years between the visit of Ellen White to New York City and the Great Depression (1909-1931), the construction of skyscrapers that shot up into the heavens went from the 700 foot, 29-story Metropolitan Life Insurance Company Building to the 102-story mega-skyscraper Empire State Building. The first of the mega-skyscrapers, the Empire State Building’s roof height would now stand at 1,250 feet (381 m) and with its antenna spire going up to 1,454 feet (443.2 m) stood at 102 stories in height.
The Empire State Building would retain its preeminence title for the next forty two years until the Twin Towers and the World Trade Center were opened up in the year of 1972. The North Tower stood at 1,368 feet (417 m) and the South Tower at 1,362 feet (415 m) tall.
Consider from the reference point of the people of the Third World Countries of the world? These two skyscrapers were the symbols of American economic greed and lust for power over the whole world. To them, they represented the western globalist’s oppression upon the other nations who had “black gold” that the Unites States so zealously coveted. Skyscrapers became the new “status symbol” of the New Age when the Hellenistic symbols of the omnipotence of man would reign supreme, and the doubting rationalists could shout with pride; “There is No G-d”.
Then as the western economic powers made those Middle Eastern nations rich, the wealth was instead hoarded by the dictators and despots, while the common Islamic people shared the crumbs. Consider the facts that the 2011 Arab Spring Revolts were initially a grass-root revolt against despotism.
Yet, by the year of 2012, of the Top 10 Tallest Buildings of the World, 3 of these skyscrapers were built in Islamic countries; 1 at Mecca and two in Islamic Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia, plus and additional 5 towers in the nations of the Far East with the largest in Dubai in UAE, Taiwan, Shanghai, Hong Kong, and Shenzhen, China and finally 1 skyscraper in Chicago in America. These are reported below:
Makkah Royal Clock Tower Hotel at Mecca in Saudi Arabia
- The preeminence of the American global economic hegemony as a symbol is would continue until the Burj Khalifa in Dubai was built in 2012 in the UAE that came in with 163 stories at 2,212 feet (828 m.).
- This was followed by the Makkah Royal Clock Tower Hotel at Mecca in Saudi Arabia at 120 stories at 1971 feet (601 m.) in the year of 2012. Then came the;
- Taipei 101, in Taipei in Taiwan at 101 stories, 1971 feet (828 m.) in 2004;
- Shanghai World Financial Center in Shanghai, China at 101 stories, 1670 feet (509 m.) in 2008;
- International Commerce Centre in Hong Kong at 118 stories, 1588 feet (484 m.) in 2010;
- Petronas Tower 1 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia at 88 stories, 1483 feet (452 m.) in 1998;
- Petronas Tower 2 also in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia at 88 stories, 1483 feet (452 m.) in 1998;
- Zifeng Tower in Nanjing, China at 89 stories, 1476 feet (450 m.) in 2010;
- Willis Tower (formerly Sears Tower) in Chicago, USA at 108 stories, 1450 feet (442 m.) in 1973;
- Kingkey 100 in Shenzhen, China at 100 stories, 1,449 feet (442 m.) in 2011.
The 163-Story Burj Khalifa in Dubai (2010), the United Arab Emirates
Could we imagine that ten of the top 20 largest buildings in the world were built after the year of 2010? Can we imagine the amount of money that was sucked into these real estate projects that glorified the ascendancy of man against the G-d of Israel while at the same time pushed their own peoples into the degradation of poverty and sin?
The corruption and greed created in New York and the big cities of America came under the wrath of the pen of Ellen White. She had earlier written in 1906, after she was falsely accused of writing that New York City would be destroyed by a mega-tsunami the following in the Review and Herald on July 5, 1906:
Ellen White – “I have no light in particular in regard to what is coming on New York, only that I know that one day the great buildings there will be thrown down by the turning and overturning of G-d's power. From the light given me, I know that destruction is in the world. One word from the L-rd, one touch of His mighty power, and these massive structures will fall. Scenes will take place the fearfulness of which we cannot imagine. (Review and Herald, July 5, 1906)
Little did she comprehend, how prophetic her words would appear one hundred years later as billions were spend of mega-skyscrapers and “icons” of power and greed that were taken from the economy that could have provided food, transportation, education, and shelter for millions of Americans.
The One World Trade Center Architectural Rendering on Left and Building on the Right
Now one hundred and four years later, in the year of 2013, the “Freedom Tower” that will be called the One World Trade Center is expected to be completed. It is expected that five other skyscrapers will complete the complex replacing the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center and the six tower complex that was destroyed in 2001.
It is interesting that the One World Trade Center is 1776 feet tall (541 m), also the number of the date of the Independence of the United States of America. It is also of interest that the completion of this building may come just in time for the inaugural of “One World Order” expected soon to arrive.
It is expected that the One World Trade Center will once again claim its preeminent title as the tallest building in the United States and rank as #4 on the tallest buildings of the world. Yet for what purpose? Will it be attacked again or will it be destroyed by the vengeance and wrath of the Divine?
As Ellen White pondered on that day that she envisioned in the future, she may have also pondered on a message that she had earlier written in the Signs of the Times on October 9, 1901 that reads as follows:
Ellen White – “The time is right upon us when there will be sorrow in the world that no human balm can heal. Even before the last great destruction comes upon the world, the flattering monuments of man's greatness will be crumbled in the dust. G-d's retributive judgments will fall on those who in the face of great light have continued in sin.”
Costly buildings, supposed to be fire-proof, are erected. But as Sodom perished in the flames of G-d's vengeance, so will these proud structures become ashes. (Signs of the Times, Oct. 9, 1901)
As we shall recount that scene in New York in the year of 2009, Ellen White was either asleep or contemplating in the early hours of the morning as was her manner of writing when she wrote what she envisioned that there would come a day in the future that she “saw in the night season when called upon to behold buildings rising story after story toward heaven.” Suddenly then she wrote:
Ellen White - “The scene that next passed before me was an alarm of fire. Men looked at the lofty and supposedly fireproof building and said: “They are perfectly safe.” But these building were consumed as if made of pitch. The fire engines could do nothing to stay the destruction. The firemen were unable to operate the engines.”
The Metropolitan Life Building, the Tallest Building in the World in 1909
How could she write such imagery in 1909? As some skeptics would muse, was not the Metropolitan Life Building standing at 49 stories and taller than 700 feet tall enough for an 81 year old grandmother to write such enigmatic words as rising “buildings rising story after story toward heaven”. She could have look outside her windows and now doubt seen the 29-story Singer Building, largest building in 2008 and the Metropolitan Life Building at 49-story, but not knowing that in only four more years, the Woolworth Building would rise above the New York skyline at 54-stories.
Yet, 90 years later, on September 11, 2001, a fire alarm at the World Trade Center One (WTC 1) sounded that a fire in a skyscraper nearby in New York had started. For many within that region, they had no concept that a direct impact by a commercial airliner into World Trade Tower I had ignited the building.
The initial response that was sent was to immediately evacuate all the inhabitants in WTC 1 and WTC 2. As testimony would later reveal that some occupants returned to their offices when the public address system advised them to stay there since the building was “secure and safe”. How could these people know that these “lofty” buildings reaching “up into heaven” would collapse and eventually did?
It was inconceivable that the fires and impacts could have brought them down, yet some continued to leave and were saved, for they ignored the reports of “secure and safety”. Later, CNN would report a news bite on the evening news on October 10, 2011 concerning the future and impending lawsuits in the WTC attacks:
CNN – “They told us there was an accident in tower one, that the fire department was on its way, that our building was secure and safe, and that we could return to our offices shortly,” Hickey said.
"They kept saying, 'Repeat, building two is secure, repeat, building two is secure,'" Simmons said. "A number of people did turn around."
“‘Stay where you are. This is a secure area. Please remain in the building. Stay where you are,’” Bartels recalled the announcer saying. “We didn't slow down. We just ignored it, kept on moving.” It was 9:06 a.m. (“Lawsuits likely after WTC attacks,” October 10, 2001, CNN.com.)
At the time that Ellen White had this vision in 1909 the tallest building in the world was the forty-nine-story Metropolitan Life Building that rose 700 feet into the air. Only one year prior, the forty-six-story story Singer Building has been completed the year earlier in New York in the year of 1908. The Singer Building had replaced as the tallest building the 29-story Park Row Building completed in 1899, and earlier the 26-story Manhattan Life Building built in 1894. Then the race was on as builder after builder strove for the coveted title of tallest building.
None of these buildings in the early 20th century were considered to be fireproof for they were built on wooden and granite foundations and built with a framework of steel but the walls were lined with wood. Yet, with the clarity of her mental filter, reporting only what she was revealed, even today the minute details are remarkable in their accuracy.
How could she write such imagery in 1909? As some skeptics would muse, was not the Metropolitan Life Building standing at 49 stories and taller than 700 feet tall enough for an 81 year old grandmother to write such enigmatic words as rising “buildings rising story after story toward heaven”? She could have look outside her windows and no doubt have seen the 29-story Singer Building, largest building in 2008 and the Metropolitan Life Building at 49-story, but not knowing that in only four more years, the Woolworth Building would rise above the New York skyline at 54-stories.
It would not be until another 63 years in 1972 that the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York would completed in the year of 1972. They held that prestigious title for less than two years when the Chicago’s Sear’s Tower was completed in May 1973 reaching 1,450 feet (440 m.) at the rooftop.
In that day, when Ellen White envisioned the concept of “fireproof building”, they had no consideration of reinforced concrete foundations with concrete pilings that were driven deep into the sand, dirt or bedrock. She also had no consideration of modern buildings that are built of composed steel and reinforced concrete walls, considered as materials that did not burn.
Was it not strange that Ellen White would also report; “But these building were consumed as if made of pitch”? The fleeing survivors that escaped the debris that collapsed beneath WTC 1, WTC 2 and the rest of the buildings that collapsed would later testify that the flying debris did fly down upon them like pitch; powdery and like pumice. Little did they comprehend the effect of commercial airplanes who, when hitting the towers exploded their jet fuel tanks with devastating consequences.
The Rubble of the Twin Towers at the World Trade Center
Not only that the rubble that lay in the collapsed ruins of the Twin Towers continued to burn for months, like the consuming fire at Sodom and Gomorrah. It would take another two months until December 19, 2001 when the fires in the rubble were finally reported extinguished. White also reported that;
Ellen White - “The fire engines could do nothing to stay the destruction. The firemen were unable to operate the engines.”
We fail to comprehend the advancement of fire fighting in the last century. It is amazing that even today there are documentary movies on the role of firefighting engines that were used in 1901. The firefighting equipment was carried to the fires by horses pulling platform water pumps. Take a look at this interesting fire response team in Albany, New York in 1901.

The 1901 La France Fire Engine Company Horse-Drawn Steam Engine in New York
In the New York City Fire Museum today is housed in one of the most modern museums in the history on firefighting. As shown in the above movie, in 1901 the firefighting equipment was pulled by horses to the location of the fire. In that day, new technology was not welcomed to tradition bound firefighters.
Paid fire departments were first established in 1865, and the steam powered “engines” that used burning coal to boil water to produce steam replaced the hand-powered “engines”. These new inventions were strongly resisted by conservative firefighters, but steam engines did become standard by the 1880s.
It is also of interest that we find in the NY Fire Museum a 1901 La France Fire Engine Company Horse-Drawn Steam Engine that was used in New York. It would not be until 1912, three years after Ellen White’s visit that the first gas powered Van Blerck tractor was put into service. This was the first of the automotive type fire engines that would come over the next decade. According to fire fighting history, the last of the horse drawn steam powered “engines” were retired in New York in 1922, thirteen years later.
Destroyed Fire Engine next to the World Trade Center in 2001.
On September 11, 2001, New York City had the firefighting capacity to fight skyscraper tower fires as high as the 1 World Trade Center. A specially designed Fire Engine 6 was designed for mega-skyscraper fire with a specially destined water pump that could shoot fire to the top of both the World Trade Center Buildings One and Two.
There appeared to be no reason why they could not fight this fire. Yet, a jet fueled fire was an inferno that was a consuming fire that could not be penetrated by the water shooting from fire hoses. Not only were the firefighters helpless, but the towers were exploding outwards in a manner not seen in firefighting history witnessed except in controlled internal detonated implosions used in toppling multiple story buildings. In the overall inferno that shot out and swept down the side streets, there over one hundred fire department vehicles destroyed near the rubble.
The Real Story of 911 was on American Corruption and Human Degradation
Yet, in Ellen Gould White’s mind the real story was not the destruction of mighty skyscrapers. There would come a day before “The Last Crisis” when the Messiah will be revealed to “those nations that are left”, that the judgments of G-d will come down upon those cities that would given no attention to the commands of the Almighty One;
At that time the G-d of Israel will begin to elevate the nations in a spiritual transformation, a process that could only come by the “hand of G-d”. Millions will turn back to the “faith of their forefathers” and realize that at Lost Israelites, they were sunk in the mire and grime of the sin and apostasy of Roman Christianity. Not even the Christians that once were protesting the corruption of Roman Vatican and even her harlot daughters like the Church of England are no longer protesting and no longer worthy of being called “Protest-ants”.
As Ellen White had written on other occasions documented earlier, when the final days of “The Last Crisis” is over and the Messiah is revealed to “those nations that are left”, the spiritual transformation with the elevation of human consciousness will supersede the actual drama of the apocalyptic catastrophes. In other words, out of the fire the remnant will be purified. But who were the remnant? As spelled out in the Protestant’s Bible, called the New Testament:
Revelation 12:17 – “The dragon was infuriated over the woman and went off to fight the rest (remnant) of her children (Orthodox Jews and the Lost Israelites); those who obey G-d’s commands (10 Commands and the 613 commands of the Torah) and bear witness to Yeshua.”
Revelation 14:12 - “This is when perseverance is needed on the part of G-d’s people, those who observe His Torah commands (613 Torah commandments and the 10 Commands) and exercise Yeshua’s faithfulness (to Torah observance).”
Who then was this Yeshua? As Simeon the Righteous (Tzaddik) proclaimed:
Luke 2: 29-32 – “Now, Adonai, according to your word, your servant is at peace as you let him go; for I have seen with my own eyes your yeshu’ah (salvation), which you prepared in the presence of all peoples – a light that will bring revelation to the Goyim (Gentile Nations) and glory to your people Klal Yisrael (the brotherhood of the House of Israel and the House of Judah)."
Gone will be the idolatry of the glorification of self in the sports stadium, on the movie screens, or on the evening pontification of the news. Gone will be the idolatry that any human is the pathway to salvation except to the One and only One G-d of Israel. Gone will be the idolatry that our salvation will come by our nuclear bombs, our chemical weapons, or our ability to force our own idolatry of self (American and European culture) upon other human beings. Gone will be the idolatry that our political ideology will save our country or that we as human beings can become G-d’s providence for mankind.
The crisis of human degradation in New York in 1909 in order to impose economic domination was only a blueprint of what will be seen all over the world at the time of the end. According to the Jewish sages, one of the purposes for Israel to have been sent into exile to the four corners of the globe would be for the purpose of elevating the nations. It was the Divine imprint that by casting his “chosen ones” into the 70 nations of the world, the gentiles living in the 70 nations would become elevated into a higher level of spiritual consciousness so all Mankind will be elevated to the level of Yisrael (Israel). How this will be done will be the great mystery of the Divine for it is G-d’s will that all men will come faithfully before Him.
Poor immigrant Families living in tiny, windowless Rooms in crowded Tenement Districts such as New York's Lower East Side.
New York City in 1909 already had a long history of power and corruption. This was the town of the early “robber barons” who in the 19th century amassed immense wealth by using questionable business practices. This included setting the prices of their industrial products at very low prices, while at the same time they paid their workers slave wages while buying out their competitors who did not have “deep pockets” until they had a monopoly on the market.
Once their competitors were liquidated, they then hiked or gouged the price of their products far above the original prices. The “Robber Baron” was in essence a criminal (“robber”) combined with an illegitimate aristocracy (“baron”).
Every generation had its culture and those that manipulate it. Technology continued to advance, but today the pace is even exponentially faster than a century ago. During those days, immigrants were pouring into the country lured by the beacon of hope on the Statute of Liberty with these iconic words:
"Give me your tired, your poor,Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free;
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore,Send these, the homeless,Tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
Yet today, there are no more “New Worlds” to discover or conquer. The world is brimming with people at over 7 billion, yet as Hilary Clinton’s “It takes a Village” discovered, this “utopian village” are not filled with children thriving in healthy communities, but that the global “village” has become toxic; mentally, physically and spiritually.
By the end of the 19th century, the 12 square miles of New York’s Lower East Side housed a half a million people. It became in that era the most densely populated region in the world. Mark Twain called this era, The Gilded Age, to show the contrast with Greece’s Golden Age, because “glitter was not gold”.
The world then revolved around steel that gave industrial nations the ability to rise up modern “Towers of Babel” into the heavens. Today, the once “Third-World Nations” in Islamic Middle East and Malaysia plus Communist Far East and Democratic in China and Taiwan have outraced Americans, but again to what avail? Have we taught them how to build towering icons because their possessions of “black gold” while the masses of people, who also were created “in the image of G-d” live in the refuge of the alleys and the streets?
The Sovereign G-d of the Universe looks down with distain and humor upon the masses of the world, seeking those who are willing to connect with Him. Those that are “service to self”, like the Pharaoh of Egypt, will continue to harden their hearts as their mental filters which could have been transparent like a flawless crystal have now become dense, opaque like a cataract over the clouding the pupil of their eyes. This same G-d weighs the balance against the gentile nations for He will judge them as to whether they were willing to protect the “Land of Israel” and the “Children of Israel” living in the land living to made that region of the world, “holy unto the L-rd”.
Yet to the nations in which the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel, He will send His judgments upon, “measure for measure” for they as brothers of the Jews of the House of Israel controlled by the descendants of the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel in Northern Europe and America are more responsible for they are to protect their heritage as they are to come closer spiritually to their brothers, the Jews who have remained in covenant with the G-d of Israel and to honor G-d’s holy Name:
Ezekiel 36:16-20 (parts) – “Son of Man, the House of Israel dwell on their land, and they have contaminated it with their way and with their acts; their way has become like the contamination of a menstruous woman be before Me. So I poured My wrath upon them, because of the blood that they had shed in the land, and [because] they had defiled it with their idols…they came among the nations where they came, and they desecrated My holy Name…”
The end of the 19th century were the days of men like John D. Rockefeller, J. P. Morgan, Andrew Carnegie and Jay Gould that were no different than the Mafia of the 60s and the 70s. Those were also the days in which there were neither “minimal wage” or laws on usury and wrongful labor conditions for working employees. They literally made their massive fortunes on the backs of the poor.
Sleeping lodgers or residents on the floor of a Gotham Court tenement – The Museum of the City of New York - 1890
“Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free;” – G-d brought them to America but what did we do with them?
When they could not get what they wanted, officials were bribed, even the White House became involved for now these were industries that were “to large to fail”, or they owned the banks that were “to large to fall”, so laws were made to protect the rich with no consideration of the poor. These were the social evils of a society which Ellen White in her essay cried out against as noted in the following passage:
Ellen Gould White – “The condition of things in the world shows that troublous times are right upon us. The daily papers are full of indications of a terrible conflict in the near future. Bold robberies are of frequent occurrence. Strikes are common. Thefts and murders are committed on every hand. Men possessed of demons are taking the lives of men, women, and little children. Men have become infatuated with vice, and every species of evil prevails.
The enemy has succeeded in perverting justice and in filling men’s hearts with the desire for selfish gain. “Justice stands afar off; for truth is fallen in the street and equity cannot enter.” (Isaiah 59:14).
In the great cities there are multitudes living in poverty and wretchedness, well-nigh destitute of food, shelter, and clothing; while in the same cities are those who have more than heart could wish, who live luxuriously, spending their money on richly furnished houses, on personal adornment, or worse still, upon the gratification of sensual appetites, upon liquor, tobacco, and other things that destroy the powers of the brain, unbalance the mind, and debase the soul. The cries of starving humanity are coming up before G-d, while by every species of oppression and extortion men are piling up colossal fortunes.”
But, has the world changed today? We must understand that the Twin Towers were not built by individual investors; they were built by a social culture that is responsible today as we move closer to the End of the Mayan World Age and all the prophecies of the Bible are streaming into a mighty prophetic vortex sweeping the entire planet into the apocalyptic and catastrophic ending of the world. The world economies controlled by the globalists, the rich and the famous who are glorified in the glitter and din of the tele-media of “make-belief” will soon await their judgment.
In the 70’s, the banks would not have lent the money to any private investment group for such a huge real estate project. Instead, they rigged up a quasi-government agency called the New York Port Authority who would become the agency that would finance the building project. The Port Authority would issue bonds to finance the construction costs, and they could do it without any approval of the voters.
Instead the City of New York or the State of New York had the “privilege” to issue such bonds. As such the construction was accomplished without seeking the wisdom of the voting population. Even with the Port Authority issuing the bonds, the tax payers in New York in the long run would have still been responsible to pay off the bondholders if there would have been a default.
Overall the city aristocracy did buy up the bonds and became the official bondholders. Now they had an investment with very little down size risk for now the State and the Port Authority were too big to fail. The rich bought the bonds issued by the Port Authority and in turn made significant profits with minimal risk. Here within the writings of Ellen White she was highly sensitized by the fact that these skyscrapers were built by fraudulent business practices, while oppressing the poor.
So why was this moment of spiritual elevation and enlightenment in 1909, where a chosen one of Jewish and Israelite descent was able to look behind the veil separating us from the Divine and used the “clues” of tall buildings in her day, to connect this message called “The Last Crisis” to a future day 92 years into her future? This is what we call mini-dramas or prophetic rehearsals to prepare a people, or to awaken even a selected few whose spiritual eyes are focuses on spiritual reconciliation and redemption for Klal Yisrael (All Israel).
One of the great insights of prophecy is the fact that vignettes of the prophetic future were given to those with prophetic insight in the past will awaken those in the future to the Drama of the Ages called the Guela or the pathway of redemption at the end of days. These mini-dramas were rehearsed over the centuries to prepare those with “eyes that can see” of the times in which they were living.
This “Second Great Awakening” in the lands dominated by the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel (America and Europe) that came in the 1840s, was also linked to a parallel “Awakening” by the Jewish disciples of the Gra of Vilna called “The Vilna Gaon” who were sent to Israel in the early days of the 19th century to populate the land and begin preparing the land of Israel for Great Aliyah of the Jewish people that would begin in the 1840’s and continue to this day, two hundred years later.
Graphs on: “Children”, “Seniors”, Whites”, “Blacks”, “Latians’, “Asians” Living in America
It would take a “hidden Jew”, Ellen White, who a Jewish rabbi claimed was a Mishnaic writer, like the Mishnaic Sages of the Tannaim (273-190 BCE) who have been over the ages so instrumental in saving the prophetic clues of the eras of the ancient days for the spiritually chosen ones of the future to dwell upon and “know”, this is the day of G-d’s salvation.
This same Ellen White picked up the mantle during the “Great Awakening” in the 1840s and began to awaken the Lost Sheep of the House of Israel living in Europe and along the 13 Original Colonies on the Eastern Seaboard of the United States. Is it now amazing that these same 13 states were considered by their colonial founders to representing the Twelve Tribes of Israel plus the “double blessing” given to the House of Joseph through his two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh?
Two hundred years later, as the days of the greater guela (redemption) were beginning to unfold in front of our eyes, the 911 catastrophe would awakening the spiritual Talmudic Jewish giant, Rabbi Yitzhak Kaduri to link this moment of time to the cascading events of the soon to come “Gog Magog War” on the 7th day of Succot called Hashanah Rabbah.
On that same day, a war would be unleashed upon the world called the “War against Terror”. It would unleash tons of toxic depleted uranium munitions that would eventually make the once fertile Euphrates and Tigris Valleys into a cauldron of carcinogenic diseases. This same war would become the responsible agency that would eventually begin to dismantle the economic, judicial, religious, and governmental sectors of the United States and Europe.
The Modern American Poor in New York cast off from American Society
Without 911, an Islamic leaning President of the United States would never have been elected whose main message was for “Change”. Yet, he may be destined to bring the “Earth Beast” of Revelation with its Islamic Sharia law to transform America into an Islamic Caliphate. Soon these nations would find their national spiritual and moral infrastructures imploding while their economic infrastructures are exploding; as it did on Rosh Hashanah 2008.
These concepts leave one vital information, the world is exploding with vast technological information, and the numerous changes that human’s could go raise the cultural and spiritual awareness of their peoples. With all the vast informational sources, we have no wisdom of what to do with it. Then we come to the realization that HaShem, the G-d of Israel is the Sovereign King of the Universe and has been directing the course of the nations of the world since the 1840’s.
According to the prophecies within the Zohar, all the knowledge, both secular and spiritual will become unified by the Divine as our world approached the Great Shabbat, the 7th Millennium of the Messiah. As quoted in the Zohar:
Zohar 2:117a – “In the 600th year of the sixth millennium (Jewish year 5600 = 1840), the gates of Supernal Wisdom above together with the wellsprings of [secular] wisdom below will be opened, and the world will prepare to usher in the seventh millennium. This is symtolized by a man who begins preparations for ushering in the Sabbath on the afternoon of the sixth day. In the same wa, [toward the end of the sixth millennium preparation are made for entering the seventh millennium]. The hint for this is (Genesis 7:11, “In the 600th year of Noach’s life…all the wellsprings of the great deep burst forth and the floodgates of the heavens were opened.”
The era driven by the divine purpose of the Holy One of Israel, Biblesearchers Reflections explored the mystery of the 6th century of the 6th millennium in the subtopic article titled, “Vilna Gaon – “Redemption is a Gradual Process (Beitah)”:
BibleSearchers Reflections – “According to the disciples of the Vilna Gaon, there was a “Divine Mission” placed upon the Gra to “discover secrets of the Torah and to accelerate the Redemption.” According to Numbers (Deverim) 25:15, it states, “A perfect and honest weight you shall have.” Since this verse is found in the sixth parashah of the Sefer Devarim (Book of Deuteronomy), the mystical understanding concerning the Books of the Torah is that they represent literal human history in the sequence of time.
- The “Story of the Creation” in the Book of Genesis (Sefer Bereishit) represents the First Millennium (4000-3000 BCE) of the world;
- The “Rest of Genesis” in the Book of Genesis represents the Second Millennium (3000-2000 BCE);
- The Book of Exodus (Sefer Shemoth) represents the Third Millennium (2000-1000 BCE);
- The Book of Leviticus (Sefer Vayikra) represents the Fourth Millennium (1000-0 BCE);
- The Book of Numbers (Sefer Bamidbar) represents the Fifth Millennium (0-1000 CE); and
- The Book of Deuteronomy (Sefer Devarim) the Sixth Millennium (1000-2000CE).
In the Sixth Millennium, represented by the Book of Deuteronomy (Sefer Devarim), is represented by ten Parshiyots (Weekly Torah Readings) one parashah for each century of the millennium. Each of these Ten Parshiyots represents a sequential century.
The First Century of the Sixth Millennium is represented by two Parshiyots; Netzavim and Vayelech counted as one, or the First Century of the Sixth Millennium (1000-1099 CE).
In the Parashah representing the Seventh Century of the Sixth Millennium, the words stand out, “Ki tavo el haARetz” meaning “When you shall come to the Land”.
So in the Jewish calendar year, 5600, was to become a pivotal century, beginning in the year of 1840 (Jewish year of 5600) when the process of the kibbutz hagaluyot (ingathering of the exiles) were to begin. The process of Redemption would begin in its “appointed time” as a deterministic path designed by the Almighty One of Israel called “beitah” to begin unfolding. Here was the divine mission of the Gra, for according to his disciples, he was “a spark of Maschiah ben Yosef”.
Let us take a breath of air and assimilate the meaning of these words. The year of 1840 was a pivotal year in reference to the Damascus Affair as noted by BibleSearchers Reflection’s article in 2005. The secret of the G-d’s unfolding of the time of the end was coming as the Tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh who had settled in Great Britain and the United States were coming to a new reality. As the Gra, the Vilna Gaon, was opening up the gates of redemption for the Jewish people, the gates of Jerusalem were beginning to open up for both the House of Judah and the Lost Tribes of the House of Israel.
At this same time, the two sons of Joseph, Ephraim and Manasseh, were grappling with “Two Great Awakenings”. The First Great Awakening would come in the prime years of the Vilna Gaon between the years of 1730-1770 and the Second Great Awakening would arrive in the Eastern Seaboard of America and the British Isles as the “Great Aliyah” was beginning with the arrival of the disciples of the Vilna Gaon in 1808-1810.”
The Poverty and Homeless in New York
So as Ellen White was given a visionary dream at the age of 81 of collapsing skyscrapers built by fraudulent means while oppressing the poor, she could connect and visualize the spiritual significance of this event to her life and times. Yet, it also gave her a prophetic “connection” with the future “Time of the End” 102 years later in 2001 when this prophecy of Isaiah will be fulfilled.
Isaiah 58:6-8 – “Surely this is the fast I choose: to break open the shackles of wickedness, to undo the bonds of injustice, and to let the oppressed go free, and annul all perversion. Surely you should break your bread for the hungry, and bring the moaning poor [to your] home, when you see a naked person, clothe him; and do not hide yourself from your kin.
Then your light will burst out like the dawn and your healing will speedily sprout; your righteous deed will precede you and the glory of HaShem will gather you in. Then you will call and Ha Shem will respond; you will cry out and He will say, ‘Here am I!’
If you remove from your midst perversion, finger-pointing, and evil speech, and offer your soul to the hungry and satisfy the afflicted soul; then your light will shine [even] in the darkness, and your deepest gloom will be like the noon.
Then Hashem will guide you always, sate your soul in time of drought and strengthen your bones; and you will be like a well-watered garden and a spring of water whose waters never fail. Ancient ruins will be rebuilt through you, and you will restore generations-old foundations; and they will call you, ‘repairer of the breech’ and ‘restorer of paths for habitation.’”

The Book of Revelation written by an Orthodox Jewish writer with strong ties to the apocalyptic sect called the Essenes in Qumran and the Dead Sea and the Book of Enoch, depicts an era before the coming of the Messiah when the whole Planet Earth will caught up into an apocalyptic planetary destruction. Only Jerusalem and the Holy Land of Israel will be protected in those days.
Revelation’s sister book in the TaNaKh (Old Testament), the Book of Zechariah depicts this era to be preceded by the Restoration of the House of Joseph and Ephraim and the Latter Rain with the Return of the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel. It is the promise by the G-d of Israel, that the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel at the ‘appointed time’ during the time of the ‘End’ will be redeemed and restored back to the land of their forefathers. Not only that, we will be restored back into fellowship with our brothers, the Jews of the House of Judah.
If you are a descendant of the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel, then your destiny has already been spelled out by the G-d of Israel, no different than your brothers and sisters in the House of Judah. To learn more about this redemptive process, 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.
