Midda Kinnegid Midda: Measure for Measure


Notes: I want to preface this article by saying that the list excerpted is from one of the largest, and most fascinating sites on this subject: dreamingofmoshiach.com.


Also included, are links to the other sites referenced in the material. On all of these sites, you will find the scriptures are accurately, and reliably translated into English by Rabbic scholars who are renowned for their exceptional depth and breadth of knowledge, as well as for their strict adherence in providing the original texts accurately.


For those who are studying or following the Prophecies, Signs of The Moshiach, The End of Days, the war of GogUmoGog, and the Holy Niviim, as found in the Torah, Zohar, Psalms, Midrash, and other related Jewish Scriptures, the sites noted within this article are highly recommended, and their value in understanding this subject, immeasurable.



Part 1: Midda Kennegid Midda- Measure for Measure

Midda Kenneged Midda is Hebrew for "Measure for Measure". Most know its as The Law of Karma. Treat others with kindness, and when in need, you will receive kindness. We reap in proportion to what we have sown....


Both politically and geophysically, world wide, we have been experiencing a series of extreme events that are just too dramatic to ignore. You've heard people refer to them as being "of Biblical proportions." Indeed, they are. Chaotic, complex, and frightening, we fool ourselves by trying to understand them through the lens of the material, rather than the spiritual. Placing our faith in paradigms and structures we have created, and in the people who take power over them, lead us to wonder why such extreme things happen, and why these structures are ultimately destroyed. After all, we have built a mighty system, right?


The "Why" and what it all means, becomes clear when we understand the principle of Midda Kennegid Midda. We are experiencing exactly what we have created, therefore, what is due to us- measure for measure. Trash the planet and you live in that trash. Allow hate to flourish, be too cowardly, or self-absorbed to stop it, and you will become a victim of that hate. Worship the Golden Calf, and find that this false god of the material is easily destroyed and taken from you. Midda Kennegid Midda is a very simple and direct principle.


A civilization constructed for the ego's satiety, rather than for the nourishment of the soul and the welfare of others, is a particularly cruel place in which to live. It brings destruction, hatred, war and violence, deceit, sadness, pain, spiritual confusion, and death. It painfully enslaves, binding us to our lowest, and darkest portions. It is written, that because we cleave to the ego, thus, remaining in darkness, HaShem (G-D) "hides His face" from us.


Yet, continually, lovingly, in Chesed (mercy and kindness), HaShem reaches out and talks to us. The problem is that we seldom want to listen. We were too busy these days making money. Now, money is gone. Our leaders do not want to listen either. They are too busy in their arrogant, nariscissitic attainment of money and power. And, because we have allowed this to happen, we now have violent and extreme ideologies bringing destruction and death throughout the world.


The Torah illustrates that to wake us up and get our attention, on a worldwide level, HaShem works the principle of Midda Kennegid Midda through the 4 elements of nature: Fire, Water, Earth, and Air. Remember Moses and the 10 Plagues on Egypt? The parting of the Sea of Reeds? Mt. Vesuvius? The Tsunami? You get the idea...


Connect the dots and you'll see the pattern of what is happening. Some, think it is "coincidence". Others, think it nonsense. All that can be said, is that I leave you to your own thoughts and opinions after reading what is to follow. All of the political events, and the geophysical events that followed, are factual, and well documented. They can be Googled. The connection is too obvious to ignore, and there are far too many of them to deny. And further, they substantiate prophecies written by the ancient Hebrew Prophets, the Holy Niviim, many thousands of years ago. The events are occurring as written, and like clockwork. It is time to open our eyes to see what G-D is telling us.




Measure for Measure: Political Events
and the Geophysical Events that Followed


The Excerpts from dreamingofmoshiach.com:

President Gog has come to Israel on a very significant date to divide the land as it says in Sefer Devarim, 1;3 - the exact date of Gog's arrival:

"And it came to pass in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first day of the month, that Moses spoke unto the children of Israel, according unto all that the LORD had given him in commandment unto them;"
   
40th year - Fortieth year since Jerusalem recaptured in 1967!! The first day of the eleventh month - Rosh Chodesh Shvat (Jan. 8-9)         
   
Although Maran Chacham Rabbi Mordechai Eliyahu Shlita handed President Bush a letter that “his agenda for peace goes against the will of God”, President Bush predicted that a Mideast peace treaty would be completed by the time he leaves office, and named a U.S. Air Force general to oversee compliance with a U.S.-backed peace plan.



       
Measure for Measure I...Meanwhile in America:

       
     •     California: Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger declares emergencies in three California counties battered by the storms. A massive storm pounding the West Coast with heavy rain and hurricane-force wind. Power was knocked out to 1.5 residents across Northern California.
         
     •     Several tornadoes were confirmed or reported Monday in Missouri, Wisconsin, Arkansas, Illinois, Oklahoma and Missouri.
       
     •     Wisconsin: Rare series of January tornadoes ripped through southeastern Wisconsin and left demolished houses in its wake... disaster declaration from Gov. Jim Doyle.
      
     •     Nevada Desert: A canal levee raptured as freezing weather spread sheets of ice over yards and streets. Hundreds of homes sat in as much as 8 feet of water.
       
     •     Arkansas, Indiana: As dozens of people in Wisconsin and northern Illinois sorted through the debris of their tornado-damaged homes Tuesday, residents to the south and in northwest Indiana began coping with deadly flooding. Near Poplar Grove, Toni Nichols, 13, picked through rubble of what had once been her home...
         
     •     Rare Winter Tornadoes Rip Through Midwest; Towns Flooded, Houses Destroyed A line of thunderstorms fed by warm weather continued spinning off unusual January tornadoes Tuesday, carrying a cow close to a mile.
         

If you look in Sefer Zecharia (HaNavi, zs'l), chapter 1;7, it says:

Upon the four and twentieth day of the eleventh month, which is the month Shevat, in the second year of Darius, came the word of HaShem unto Zechariah the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, the prophet, saying--
and I am very sore displeased with the nations that are at ease; for I was but a little displeased, and they helped for evil.
Therefore says HaShem: I return to Jerusalem with compassions: My house shall be built in it, saith HaShem of hosts, and a line shall be stretched forth over Jerusalem.
(Read more in Zechariah concerning Jerusalem and the nations.)

        
"And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse"…Genesis 12: 2-3

Guest post by Reb Eliezer, Daniel's father:
(note: Daniel is one of the autistics that communicates through facilitation)
     •    
I recently came across some information regarding American-Israeli relations that I thought was worth sharing. I am not exactly sure what it all means, but I have learned enough in my life to know that there is no such thing as coincidences.
         
     •     The following is just a sampling…with the real kicker at the end.
       
     •     October 30, 1991:
     •     President Bush (1st one) opened the Madrid Conference, the intended purpose of which was to strip Israel of its land in exchange for "peace" with the Palestinian Arabs.
      
     •     ON THAT VERY DAY, an extremely rare storm formed on the coast of Nova Scotia, a storm later named "The Perfect Storm" (which the book and movie were about), and record-setting waves pounded the New England coast – causing heavy damage to the President's home in Kennebunkport, Maine.
         
     •     August 23, 1992:
     •     The Madrid Conference moved to Washington, D.C. with the same agenda of attempting to wrest land from a sovereign country. That, of course, would create a state of homelessness for thousands of Jews.
         
     •     ON THAT VERY DAY, Hurricane Andrews produced an estimated $30 billion in damage, leaving 180,000 Floridians homeless. It was the worst natural disaster to ever hit America – at least up to that time.
         
     •     January 16, 1994:
     •     President Clinton meets with the Syrian President in order to develop a strategy that would force Israel to give up the Golan Heights.
        
     •     LESS THAN 24 HOURS LATER, a powerful 6.9 earthquake rocks southern California, leaving countless Americans homeless.
     
     •     March 1, 1997:
     •     Arafat begins a one-month tour of America and President Clinton publicly rebukes Israel for not surrendering land for peace.
      
     •     ON THAT VERY DAY, that Arafat lands in America, powerful tornadoes devastate huge sections of the country while ripping across Texas, Arkansas, Mississippi, Kentucky, and Tennessee. Days later, as Arafat is still touring, storms hit the Dakotas, causing the worst flooding of the century.
     •     Weeks of storms rage throughout the Midwest until Arafat completes his tour. The day he leaves the U.S., the storms "suddenly" begin to settle down, and end within a few days.
       
     •     January 21, 1998:
     •     Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu meets with Clinton and is coldly received as President Clinton and Secretary of State Madeline Albright refuse to lunch with him.
        
     •     ON THAT VERY DAY, just hours later, the Monica Lewinski scandal erupts and will consume the major portion of Clinton's time for the remainder of his tenure.
       
     •     Others include…
     •    
     •     The World Trade Center Bombing of 1993, on the day that Secretary Albright leaves on a trip to visit 8 Arab/Muslim countries to develop a strategy against Israel.
       
     •     The Northridge Earthquake in 1994, on the day that President Clinton and Syrian President Assad demand that Israel turn the Golan Heights over to Syria.
    
     •     Ravaging tornadoes hit the Mid-West on the day in 2002 that Bush negotiates Arafat's release from Israeli capture.
       
     •     Hurricane Lili hitting the U.S. the same time in 2002 that Bush refuses to move the American Embassy to Jerusalem and refuses to recognize Jerusalem as the Capital.
     
     •     But here, ladies and gents, is the kicker.
       
     •     August of 2005 was the month when Sharon expelled the Jews of Gaza from their homes. Just about 10,000 Jews were made homeless, in accordance with the demands of the American President and his Secretary of State. The operation was being concluded on August 29.
      
     •     ON THAT VERY DAY, America was hit by THE WORST natural disaster to have ever occurred in America. Hurricane Katrina hit the New Orleans area and just about 500,000 people were made homeless.
        
     •     10,000 Jews out of a population of 6 million is a percentage of .00167.
     •     500,000 Americans out of a population of 300 million is a percentage of .00167.
        
     •     Like I said, I don't believe in coincidences. All I can say is that the next time this government comes down hard on our brethren over there, we all might want to duck for cover.
