Part 2: The End of Days: The Ancient Hebrew Prophets and the Signs
In part one of this series, the principal of Midda Kinneged Midda was illustrated by an evolving list of current political events and the geophysical events that followed.
In part two, we examine portions of the writings of the Holy Nevi'im - the prophecies of the ancient Hebrew Prophets, the Zohar, the Tehillim, Midrash, Gemara and other scriptures, as they relate to "The End of Days," Prophecies of the Redemption, and to the political and geophysical events and signs predicted within them, to see how they are unfolding before our eyes. Now it is time to connect the dots.
These writings are lengthly, and there far too many of them to even list. Therefore, only the main portions describing signs and events are given. For the complete text, links are provided for both the original Hebrew, and the accurate translations in English. Again, the sources used and quoted in this article are repected and renowned for their exceptional breath of Torah knowledge, and rabbinic scholarship.
In preface, it must be said that these writings are un-nervingly accurate in both substance and timing. The events described in these writings are frightening. Well... horrific, actually. Yet, on an another level, they are affirming, and comforting- we are living at a time when we are experiencing G-D's Hand at work. We need to understand that what is taking place is for The Creator's purpose, and for the evolution of our souls. Those who are not familiar with these writings will, no doubt, find them amazing.
First, a few brief explanations regarding terms and concepts are needed to understand the prophecies:
The Cosmic Clock The Geulah (the Hebrew for the Final Redemption, or "End of Days") is not a single event in time, but an ongoing process that began when the world was created. The Torah teaches that HaShem (G-D) had a purpose when creating the Universe. In the Book of Genesis, we learn that it is a plan that unfolds in stages. According to Torah, the 6 days of Creation, followed by the Sabbath on the 7th, is a blueprint for 6,000 years of history that will be concluded by a "Great Sabbath" of the 7th Millenium.
It is this "Great Sabbath" that is referred to as "The Redemption" and "The World To Come". It is the beginning of a new existence, a World of Light, where Heaven reaches down to earth, elevating and transforming our existence. There will be no hatred, no violence, or war. The Geulah is the Redemption of Truth and the Sanctification of HaShem's Holy Name.
According to the Jewish Calendar, it is the year 5,769. We are currently in a period where time and events are speeding up. Most of us are aware of the time shift and have been feeling it for many years now. The Zohar (1:117a) describes this phenomenum as an acceleration of time, and the final stages of events towards the Great Sabbath.
Noticeably, major, worldwide events, both political and geophysical, are taking place at a rapid rate with few intervals between them. World leaders are dealing with accelerating situations that are happening so fast, with so little time between, that they are loosing control, and the structures we built are falling apart. Hmmmmm.....
The Moshiach
The Moshiach, or Messiah, in Jewish belief is not a diety, or a savior. The term means "the annointed one". In ancient practice, the Jews annointed their kings with oil when they took the throne of Israel. The Moshiach is the annointed King of Israel at the End of Days, however, he is an elevated soul, and his purpose is beyond that of just ruling a nation.
There will actually be two Moshiachs. The first one is Moshiach ben Joseph, a descendant of Joseph. He will be a warrior- a general that will gather what is left of Israel, stand up to her enemies, and defeat the nations. He will prepare the way for ben David.
In the sefer Shivilei Emunah, he will appear on the scene approximately 4 years before Moshiach Ben David. But the time of his appearence is flexible. It depends upon if Israel merits the Geula to come in a faster fashion, or not. Moshiach ben Joseph will die in the war when Iran attacks Israel.
Some believe he will be killed by Armilus. The nations of the world will not know that he is dead, as they would become bold and destroy all of Israel. Many troubles will come to Israel at this point. Many will flee into the desert through the mountains and tunnels. It is written that these people will starve and eat the weds that grow in the desert to survive. This will be the last test of Israel. Fourty days after ben Joseph's death, Moshiach ben David (ben Dovid) will be revealed.
Moshiach ben David's destiny is to rule as king of Israel, restore Israel to HaShem, and to build the 3rd Temple. He is not a Jesus-like figure, but rather an exceptionally powerful Rabbi and leader. He will be descended from King David (Jerimiah 23:5) Thus, he is referred to as Moshiach ben David. He is from the house of David.
Ben David will inspire a mass return to Torah, bring all Jews out of exile to Israel, and into Redemption. It is said that he is now among us, is known to some of the Mekubalim who pray with him at the Kotel (Wailing Wall), but remains hidden for his safety until it is time for him to make himself known. The signs and events that the Nevi'im had given in their scriptures mark his arrival.
Rabbi Yitzhak Kaduri, o.b.m. was blessed at age 13 by his teacher, the renowned Rabbi Yosef Chaim (the Ben Ish Chai), that he would live to see the revelation of the Mashiach. In his later years, Kaduri received the same Blessing from the Lubavitcher Rebbe. Rav Kaduri died in 2006. He was 105 years old. Over 300,000 people attended his funeral in Jerusalem.
The greatest Kabbalist of our century, Rabbi Yitzhak Kaduri, o.b.m., had related to his students that he had met Moshiach ben David in November of 2005. Rav Kaduri, a greatly revered holy man, known for his amulets and many documented miracles, left us the following clues: this man recieived an additional soul, and the that letter "vav", was added to this person's name is without changing the pronounciation. The secret of his power is a Magen David hidden in his attire. Kaduri's sons, and the most trusted Mekubalim among them, know who he is, but refuse all questions.
Rav Kaduri also said that the disasters experienced by the world are directly related to the redemption process, and will culminate in the coming of the Moshiach. He also added that in the near future, other waves of natural disasters will strike the world. He was right.
As we look at the political and geophysical events that are currently taking place, and look deeper into ourselves to understand those "feelings" we have been experiencing, we then look to what has been written. It is evident that we are in those times.
The various scriptures also describe the horrific, great war of GogUMogog. This war will bring immense worldwide suffering (see, Ezekiel 38:16) before the Moshiach is revealed. It is written that two thirds of the world's population will be destroyed. It is in the writings of the Holy Niviim (the ancient Hebrew Prophets), the Zohar, the Tehillim, the Gemara, and other sriptures, that we find the events and signs to watch for. These signs and events have been taking place, like clockwork, and exactly as written.
The Moshiach: "He is Tall, his neck is thick, his face is round like the sun, his eyes are shiny, the bottom of his feet are thick..."
He wil rule all the lands. He will be given the kingdom. Armilus will gather the 70 nations of the world, as it says in Psalms 2;2: "The kings of the earth stand up" and anyone who will oppose him (Moshiach ben David) will be appended and killed by him. In Isiah 11;4: "and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked." And he will kill the wicked Armilus, son of the stone, and he will redeem Am Israel and his name will be known from one end of the world to the next.
And the merciful heart shall say, "HaShem bring this hour and the end during our lifetime and the lifetime of Bnei Israel, Amen Ve'Amen!"
Armilus
The Armilus is the powerful, evil king, or ruler of a mighty nation, who will rise at the time of the Moshiach. He will persecute and attempt to destroy Israel, and the Jewish people. In a few sources, it is written that he is the son of Satan, birthed from stone. In Midrash Milkhamot HaMashiah, the Hebrew text actually identifies this evil king as “the one whom the Gentiles call the anti-Christ.” In Torah literature he is called "Armilus".
Within the context assigned to him throughout the Torah, Armilus is said to be the head of Edom, the King of Romi (the US and nations of the west- Europe). He is the ultimate enemy of the Jewish people, and will set himself up among people as a Messiah figure. His ego knows no bounds. People will be taken by his charisma, and his enticing power of speech. He will claim he is of the beliefs of Esau- a Christian. However, he is not. He will represent an evil world body which will claim to represent the true messiah of Israel. Armilus will come to sit as head of the nations of United Europe, which we understand today, as the European Union.
Armilus will attack Israel and take Jerusalem. Moshiach Ben Yosef will rise up to face him. The great battle of Gog & Magog / Armageddon will occur. Moshiach Ben Yosef will die in this war. Armilus is destined to bring severe persecution and death upon all Jews who did not accept him as their messiah, their leader and king. Armilus will meet his death at the hands of Moshiach Ben David.
It is written that the great Archangel Michael, protector of Israel will blow his trumpet. It is then that Moshiach Ben David will be revealed and the prophet Elijah will appear by his side. They will gather the dispersed of Israel, and proceed to Jerusalem. Armilus, inflamed against the Jews, will then march against the Moshiach. But now HaShem, Himself, will come against Armilus and his armies, destroying them. Armilus will die by the "breath of his mouth."
The War of Gog Umagog
The name appears in Ezekiel (38-39) and refers to a coalition of nations under a leader referred to as "Gog." The land of Gog Umagog is believed to be Persia, that is, Modern Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Buluchistan, combined.
It is that coalition, joined by many other nations, that will gather and attack Israel. Combined, all of these nations are referred to as the "70 Wolves". They represent the 70 languages that resulted from the Tower of Bable's destruction.
These nations, as a result of their arrogance towards G-D, will be destroyed. It is written that 2/3rds of the world's population will be annihilated. The War of Gog Umagog is revealed in many of the Holy Niviim's writtings. However, it is the account given by the prophet Ezekiel ( Ezekiel 36, 37, 38 & 39) that is the most horrifying in its detail.
It was written in various scripture that the War of Gog Umagog will start as a war between Christianity and Isalm. Keep in mind, these prophecies were written 2000 years before Islam even existed.
Only in its final stage will it reach Israel, by joining forces against the people of Israel. The Zohar states that before the arrival of Moshiach, the Ishmaelites (Muslims) will start 3 wars against the Edomites (Christians), and their final stage will be close to Jerusalem:
• One in the sea (there): "from the bent bow"
• One in land (there): "from the drawn sword"
• One in a big city, which is heavier than both, as it is written: "from the distress of war"
The Hebrew scriptures also gives the date of the beginning of the war. It started on the night of Hoshana Rabba with the war on Afghanistan. The scriptures continue by saying that after Afghanistan, the Christian nations did not return to quiet, they continued their war campaign by invading Iraq. On the final destruction of Baghdad and Iraq, the prophet Yirmiyahu describes the fall of Bavel, by the hands of the Christian nations by unconventional means, to expand the war on Iraq. These 2000 year old prophecies state that the next stage of this war will be against Paras- Iran, and Assyria-Syria.
Given the current activities of Iran and Syria, it is obvious that we are now at that stage of the war stated in the prophecies.
Rav Kauduri often spoke of the final Redemption and referred to the calculations and writtings of the Vilna Gaon ( 1720- 1797). According to these writtings the war of Gog U Magog would break out on the Jewish holiday of Hoshana Rabba (the 7th day of the Sukkot holiday), after the ending of the 7th shemittah year (agricultural sabbatical].
On September 24, 2001, Channel One Israel TV broadcast what Torah scholars and Kabbalists were saying in the wake of the World Trade Center attack. Adjacent to the room where Rabbi Yitzhak Kaduri received his visitors, Arutz Sheva Hebrew radio host Yehoshua Meiri, a man trusted by Rav Kaduri, explained to the cameras, at the 1:40 minute mark, Rabbi Kaduri's understanding of the events based on the calculations of the Vilna Gaon. He said: "On Hashanah Rabba, the actual war of Gog and Magog will commence and will last for some seven years."
Precise to that minute, on October 7th, as the sun was setting and the Jewish holiday of Hoshana Rabba began, US and British forces began the aerial bombing campaign against the Taliban forces and Al-Qaida. That year was the Hoshana Rabba just after the shemitta year of 5761, as predicted.
Yernan Yaakov comments on his site (http://yeranenyaakov.blogspot.com/2006/06/end-of-days-where-are-we-part-1-of-3.html) that it is common knowledge among the Rabbis and other Kabbalists that the 9-11 Islamic terror attacks on the end of Ellul, 5761, was the first shot fired in the War of Gog Umagog whose length is 7 years, and corresponds to the Gemara which describes it in regard to "the 7-year period that [Moshiah] Ben-David is to arrive".
Even the wicked Bil'am, despite his evil, informed us of a prophecy in the Torah that will occur just before the arrival of the Moshiach: "Alas, who shall live after God hath appointed him? But ships shall come from the coast of Kittim, and they shall afflict Asshur, and shall afflict Eber, and he also shall come to destruction".
So, who is Gog and who is Armilus? The answers may surprise you. Rabbinic scholars and Kabbalists know who they are by the hidden coded languages within the Torah, and Gematria. For more information visit these sites:
"Woe is to the nation that will be found in the world at the time that Hakadosh Baruch Hu redeems Israel, at the time that giant ships of the Romans (Christians) will come and fight in the vicinity of Assyria and in the vicinity of Ever, and they will be victorious there, and they will cause affliction to the inhabitants of the place. However, even their lot will come to destruction, and then, the kingdom will be given to Moshiah and to Israel."
From the Midrash: The year that King Moshiah will be revealed, all the kings of the nations will provoke each other (wars, armed confrontations, threats among the entire world). The king of Paras (Iran) will provoke an Arab king (Saudi Arabia, or Jordan) and the Arab king will go to Edom to take advice from them (meaning assistance).
As of this writing, King Abdullah of Jordan had met with President Obama. Saudi Arabia and other Arab nations are expressing distress over Obama's placation of Iran, and the continuing Iranian program to develop nuclear weapons and delivery systems. North Korea has just tested another nuclear weapon and is threatening South Korea with war.
Then, the King of Paras (Iran) will go ahead and destroy the whole world (Iran creating terrorist acts through its proxies, or war throughout the world). All the nations of the world will tremble and be panicky and will fall on their faces. And pains like birth pangs will take hold of them (tremendous fear from the Iranian acts of terror in the world).
Israel will tremble and be panicky (the Iranian threats of wiping Israel off the map) and will say "Where will we come and go? Where will we come and go?"
The Midrash goes on to say: "And HaShem will say to them, Hakadosh Baruch Hu will answer Israel the following: "My children, do not be afraid! Whatever I made, I only made for your benefit! Why are you afraid? Do not be afraid! The days of your redemption has arrived!" Israel will survive and never be threatened again. Iran, Edom, and the nations will be destroyed. According to many of the scriptures, Israel will actually be the safest place to be.
So who are these nations?
The names given in the prophecies are ancient. The text was written several thousand years ago. The many changes in national boarders and territories, as well the peoples who held them, have changed many times over the span of history. But we do know who they are. The current names of the nations are provided by their various ancient names.
These names are also found in Genesis 10, 1 Chronicles 1, and in the writings of Josephus Flavius (http://www.studylight.org/his/bc/wfj/antiquities/

Some Prophecies From The Zohar:
Zohar I, Va'era 32a
In the future the children of Yishmael will stir great wars in the world. And the children of Edom [the West] will gather against them, and make war with them, one on the sea, and one on the land, and one by Jerusalem; and each one will prevail over the other but the Holy Land will not fall to the hands of Edom.
At the same time, a nation from the end of the world will be awakened against wicked Romi. And it will make war against her for three months, and many nations will gather there, and they will fall by her hand, until all the children of Edom will gather against her from all corners of the earth. And then G-d will awaken Himself against them, as it says, a "a sacrificial slaughter for the Lord in Batzra", and it says, "to shake the corners of the Land".
Regarding the above paragraph, Navi, of Dreaming of Moshiach.com offered this interpretation on her site, placing North Korea in the mix:
Zohar HaKadosh:
A nation will arise from one end of the world (Korea) against the wicked Romi (xtian nation; USA) and will war against them for 3 months. Other nations will join the war and will fall into their hands (the nation from end of the world), till all Edom will unite against this nation. Then HKB"H will 'arise' against them, as it says, A gigantic massacre in the land of Edom (USA/Europe).
Zohar II, Shmos, 220a
Said R. Simeon: At the time when the dead will be awakened and be in readiness for the resurrection in the Holy Land, legions upon legions will arise on the soil of Galilee, as it is there that the Messiah is destined to reveal himself. For that is the portion of Yosef, and it was the first part of the Holy Land to be destroyed, and it was thence that the exile of Israel and their dispersion among the nations began... Thus there they will rise up first, for the reason that it is the portion of him who was put in an ark...and subsequently was buried in the Holy Land, as it says "And the bones of Joseph, which the children of Israel brought up out of Egypt, buried they, in Shechem."
Palestinians desecrating and burning down the tomb of Joseph
Zohar III Shalach Lecha 166a: Ahmadinejad and Iran attacks Israel:
The King of Persia will rule and will conquer many kingdoms. He will rule over the Holy Land for twelve months. He will rule and kill many (including Moshiach ben Yosef) and afterwards the King (of Persia) will fall and the high holy ones (Israel) will receive the kingship.
Zohar III Balak 212b: The 9-11 Prophecy:
I will show you, but not for now, for these things will only come to be at that time, some after time and some in the days of Moshiach. "A star has gone forth from Yaakov..." (Numbers 24:17). This teaches us that in the future, The Holy One, Blessed is He, will build Jerusalem and one star will spark within 70 pillars of fire and 70 sparks will receive light from it in the middle of the sky. The other 70 stars will be swallowed within it. It will give off light and blaze for 70 days.
At the end of the sixth day it will become visible at the beginning of the 25th day of the sixth month. It will be gathered in at the end of 70 complete days and be visible in the city of Romi, and on that day, 3 great towers will fall, a great hall will fall, and the power of that city will die.
Zohar Translation By Dreaming of Moshiach.com: "These towers are located in a city, in a predominantly xtian country. The collapse of the tall towers will be accompanied by a thunder-like sound and tremendeous fire. The fall will be so massive and it will darken the entire area before noon, and daytime will be transformed into night and nothing will be visible. The loss of life will be enormous and people from all walks of life will perish. People will believe that they will never survive the imminent disasters."
Zohar III Balak 212b
...Then this star will emanate to be seen in the world. This will cause a great war to occur at that time in all four directions, and there will be no faith amongst them. In the middle of the world, once this star begins to shine in the middle of the sky, a great king will arise and take control of the world, and act arrogantly over all the kings. A war will begin on two sides and he will overcome them.
On the day that the star is gathered, the Holy Land will shake for 45 miles from all around until the place of the Temple. An underground cave will become revealed, and from that cave will go out a fire that will burn the world. From that cave a great and elevated branch will sprout and it will control the world. To him the kingship will be given. The holy and elevated ones will gather around him, and then Moshiach will be revealed in the world, and to him will go the kingship.
The world, at the time that Moshiach will be revealed, will have been experiencing trouble after trouble, and the enemies of Israel will have been prevailing. Then, the spirit of Moshiach will be aroused against them, and the evil Edom will be destroyed. The entire land of Seir will be destroyed by fire. Regarding that time, it says, "And Israel will attain success" (Numbers 24:18), and, "Edom shall be a conquest and Seir shall be the conquest of his enemies." The enemies of Israel, and then Israel, will attain success.
From R' Avraham Sutton's translation of the Zohar, Parashat Vayera (1:119a):
Rabbi Shimon opened his discourse: "And I have remembered My covenant with Yaacov" (Vayikra 26). Yaacov is written here in its full form [i.e. with a Vav]. Why?... This verse refers to Israel’s [last] exile. When they are in the midst of that exile, they will be Recalled [i.e. Pekidah, i.e. a partial redemption, associated with Mashiach ben Yoseph] in the mystery of the Vav [of the Holy Name], in the 6th Millennium.
This Recollection [Pekidah] will take place in the mystery of Vav-Aleph-Vav [i.e. when the letter Vav is spelled out Vav-Aleph-Vav, it attains the numerical value 13]. It will last for a period of 6 1/2 moments [i.e. years] [i.e. half of 13]. [This 6 1/2 year period will come] after 60 years of the 6th Millennium [which correspond to the final Vav of Vav-Aleph-Vav, and parallel the sefirah of Yesod, embodied by Mashiach ben Yoseph] have passed.
...At that time, the G-d of Heaven will arise to Recall [Pekidah] the Daughter of Jacob [the Shechinah and the Nation of Israel]. From that time [of Pekidah] till Zechirah [full Remembrance, full Redemption, Mashiach ben David], 6 1/2 years will pass. After that, another 6 years will pass. Altogether these [60 plus 6 1/2 plus 6] total 72 1/2.
...At that time, all the nations shall unite together against the Daughter of Jacob in order to annihilate her from the world. Concerning that time it is written, "It will be a time of crisis for Jacob, but he shall be saved from it" (Jeremiah 30:7).
The Prophecy of Tehillem 83:
Tehillem (Psalms), are prayers/ prophecies dating back to Moses. Many were written by King David who compiled them into the book known as the Tehillem. Reciting them opens to great channels of spiritual influences.
1. A psalm, a song of Asaph.
2. O God, have no silence, do not be silent and do not be still, O God.
3. For behold, Your enemies stir, and those who hate You raise their heads.
4. Against Your people they plot cunningly, and they take counsel against Your protected ones.
5. They said, "Come, let us destroy them from [being] a nation, and the name of Israel will no longer be remembered."
6. For they have taken counsel with one accord; against You they form a pact.
7. The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Hagrites.
8. Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek, Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre.
9. Also Assyria joined them; they were the arm of the children of Lot forever.
10. Do to them as [to] Midian; as [to] Sisera, as [to] Jabin in the brook Kishon.
11. They were destroyed in En-Dor; they were [as] dung on the ground.
12. Make them, their nobles, as Oreb and as Zeeb, and as Zebah and as Zalmuna all their princes,
13. Who said, "Let us inherit for ourselves the dwellings of God."
14. My God, make them like thistles, like stubble before the wind.
15. As a fire that burns in a forest and as a flame that burns mountains.
16. So will You pursue them with Your tempest, and with Your whirlwind You will terrify them.
17. Fill their faces with shame, and they will seek Your countenance, O Lord.
18. Let them be ashamed and terrified forever; let them be disgraced and perish.
19. Let them know that You-Your name alone is the Lord, Most High over all the earth.

The Ancient Child Prophecies and the Destruction of the Statue of Liberty
Nachman Pincus was born on a Rosh Hashanah in the 5th century, in Baram, a villiage in Gush Halav, in the Upper Galilee. He was the son of the noted holy man, Rabbi Pincus and his wife Rachel. Instead of the cry of a newborn, the Nachman began to speak, revealing the secrets of the world, and heaven.
At age 12, he gave five rhymed prophecies, in alphabetical order, spoken in a coded language. When he had finished, he revealed to his parents that he would soon die.
Nachman died, and was buried in the village Baram in the Galilee. His gravesite is known, and considered a holy place. He is buried under the name "Rabbi Nachman "Katofa. because he was "picked" while still a child. Today, people visit his gravesite to pray.
The five prophecies were documented and called "Nevuat HaYeled" (The Child's Prophecy). They were published as additions to holy books. Five hundred years ago, the great Kabbalist, Rabbi Avraham ben Eliezer HaLevi wrote a special commentary regarding them, and the Rabbi of "Shomer Emunim" wrote in his book that they are known to be true and the "holy of holies".
"The following are some of the things the child prophecised about:
• At the end of days, Turkey will rule over Eretz Israel;
• Britian (Edom) will come and take power away from them;
• In 1948, all nations will recognize Israel is ruled by Jews;
• A ruler in Egypt (Nassar) will rule over arabs and will make pain for Israel. When he will die and no one will remember him;
• Edom nation shocks the world and instigates wars;
• The falling tower of Gadia is a sign of the end of time;
• There will be great changes in the world and great sorrows in the land of Edom on the Western side, as the sea will come in and submerge some of the lands;
• There will be two eclipses;
• Troops will go forth from Israel to give the vengeance of Hashem in Edom;
• The prophecy speaks of a war that will be between Yishmaelim and Edomim in the Holy Land;
• A nation will come quickly to battle another nation who is shocking the world and will bring judgement on Edom;
• Paras (Persia) brings hate to the world and cause much worry to the Edomim;
• The Egyptians will come and make war and in a few days they will awaken a great evil that will leave people crushed and cut off due to the sorrows. This will occur in the land of Gerar, namely the land of the Philistines, meaning Gaza and Gath. And there will be lamentations and bitter crying from the wars and the killing and the pillaging;
• Those who do not have love for anyone, are happy to kill people. They will wander the land to find people to rob and harm. Everyone hates them because they are evil to the whole world;
• A city/people called Gadia built a city and a tower. The fall of the Yishmaelim will be in Gadia
• Rome will fall at the hands of Paras (Persia/Iran);
• When the avodah zara that is in Rodus (Statue of Liberty?) will be destroyed, shortly afterwards Rome will be destroyed;
• Ten strong states will be destroyed;
• Ten towers or fortresses will submerg and then we will see Eliyahu HaNavi, Zachur Letov;
• When a king (leader) will write a letter and command to build a bridge in Sanbara /Sanvara, the LIGHT has come to Tzion;
• When we see that Edom governs the land of Israel , we will believe that the last steps of redemption has begun;
• A spark of fire will fall from the heavens onto the nations;
AND THEN, Moshiach ben Dovid will be revealed, Zchuto should protect us, AMEN."
Other Signs To Watch For:
The book of Daniel (2, 40-44) Rashi and Ibn Ezra, a'h:
The last two exiles will be Ishmael (the Arab Kingdom) and Edom (today, America and Europe), which will end with the upcoming kingdom of the Moshiach.
The Zohar: Beginning with the uprising of Muhammad, Ishmael's decendants will have 1300 years of power.
Zecharia (13,1): The loss of their of power begins when water begins to outpour from The Temple Mount where the El Aksa Mosque is located today. That is the sign that the Moshiach is soon to be revealed. And, exactly as predicted byZecharia, the outpouring of water is now occurring. The Wakf, for all the plumbers and contractors they called, cannot control or stop the seepage.
The Gihon (Siloam) Pool is also now rising into the ancient stone mikvah of the Temple (the ritual bath) where the moshiach is to ritually bathe before entering the temple for prayer.
The walls and water seepage: See these amazing Photos taken by Rabbi Lazer Brody:
Yechezkel 21,13: Waves of Terrorism: The Jewish people are warned of times when it will take waves of terrorists attacks to realize that a return to Torah is needed.
Ezekiel 36.2: Thus saith the L-rd GOD: Because the enemy hath said against you: Aha! even the ancient high places are ours in possession;
"Jerusalem and Palestine, from the sea to the river, are the property of the Palestinian people, the Arabs and the Muslims, and no one has the right to concede a grain of land, wall or stone of the holy land."

Praying at the Kotel (The Wailing Wall) of the 2nd Temple
Ezekiel 36.3:"therefore prophesy, and say: Thus saith the L-rd GOD: Because, even because they have made you desolate, and swallowed you up on every side, that ye might be a possession unto the rest of the nations, and ye are taken up in the lips of talkers, and the evil report of the people;
This refers to the bias, agendas, and propaganda of various groups, such as Move On.Org, and various media against Israel. We provide these examples to bear proof that this egregious act is actually going on, and is well orchestrated and financed.
Anti-Semitic activist, Lauren Booth caught lying.
Pictures say a thousand words. Lauren Booth, Tony Blair's sister, claimed she was starving along with the starving palestinians who have no food. She further claimed that their grocery stores had only empty shelves, because the evil Jews do not let food in.
This photo, was taken the same day she made this statement to the press. Yet, the various media, including CNN, MSNBC, NPR and others, refused to broadcast or print any retractions- even after they received many photos and videos proving the falsehood. This is one of the actual photos sent to the media, worldwide.
Isaiah (28,14): The Peace Process:
HaShem rebukes the leaders of the Jewish nation, who are situated in Jerusalem. It states that HE will NOT allow a peace process. Israel will narrow its borders while a powerful Arabic leader threatens. It also states that we will "renew ourselves everyday- just to listen to the news which will be too terrifying to hear".
Too incredible to believe? Go to the verse. It was was written over 2000 years ago.
Tehillim 27,12: In the Psalms, you'll find described two more kinds of enemies Israel is facing, "false witnesses" swaying public opinion through the media, and "speakers of Hamas" characterized as speakers of evil, or of kidnapping and bomb attacks! (Targum Yonaton Ben Uziel, and Rashi).

The Midrash: Terror in a big city before Redemption
"The YALKUT SHIM'ONI, which is a collection of Jewish ancient rabbis (HAZAL/RAZAL) brings in "clue 506" a commentary on the Haftarah that was read in synagogues on the exact week when the terrorist attack occurred. This is the commentary according to the old Midrash ("Pirkey Rabbi Elie'zer"):
Rabbi Ishmael says: The Ishmaelites shall make three wars of panic in the Latter Days, as it is written (Isiah 21,15): "For they fled from the swords, from the drawn sword".
• One in the sea (there): "from the bent bow"
• One in land (there): "from the drawn sword"
• One in a big city, which is heavier than both, as it is written: "from the distress of war"
And then [the Messiah] son of [King] David shall emerge, and will show us the destruction of those and those, and will come from there to the Land of Israel, as it is written (Isiah 63): "Who is it who comes from Edom" etc.
The Midrash: (Yalkut Shimoni, Yishayahu 60):
In the year when the king, Moshiach will be revealed [what will happen in the year Moshiach will be revealed], all the kings of the nations of the world are provoking each other [threats of war will be heard all over the world].
The king of Paras [the president of Iran] is provoking the Arab king [threatening the king of Saudi Arabia with war] The Arab King will turn to Edom for advice on the Iranian threats].
The king of Paras will then go and destroy the world. [nuclear weapons). The world refers to most of the world, not the entire planet.
And all the remaining nations of the world (in Zecharia 13, 2/3 of the world will be destroyed), will shout from terror, fall upon their faces in fear, and suffer pains as strong as labor pains. The entire world will be gripped with absoute horror and massive death.
And the Jewish people will shout from fear (they will be afraid that Iran will attack Israel) and say, "To where do we turn? To where do we run?"And He will say unto them (Hashem), my children, do not be afraid; all that I have done here, I have done only for you [everything Hashem will do is for the Jews, to destroy the reign of the wicked Edom, to eradicate evil from the world and allow the Moshiach, our righteous king to take over the kingdom]. Why do you fear? The time for your Redemption has arrived!”
The Midrash:
"At that time the whole world will quake and the people will wonder, 'Is a new mabbul [sic] coming on the world?' G-d will assure them, 'No, this isn't a mabbul. I have come rather to make a banquet for my children and to rule over the entire world.'" (Tanna d'Vei Eliyahu, Rabba, end of ch.2)
"When G-d in the future will punish Edom He will shake the entire world just as He did at the time of mattan Torah." (Sifrei on Devorim 33:2)
"In the days of Enosh ben Shes...the ocean broke out and flooded a third of the land. Too, previously the whole earth had been level like a plain; at that time mountains, hills and boulders were formed. In the future the world will return to its original state." (Yalkut Shimoni 1:47)
Sefer Elijah:
Then Michael said to me, ‘The appointed time for the End of Days will occur during the reign of a king who will be named Hrmlt.
Yeshayahu:
"Terror, gorges, and traps will come upon you, the residents of the earth. Whoever flees from the sound of the terror will fall into the gorge, and whoever gets out of the gorge will be caught in the trap, because the skylights of heaven were opened to bring down this fate, and the foundations of the earth will quake. The earth is broken; the earth crubmles; the earth is dismantled. The earth will move like a drunkard and shake like a hut...." (24:17-20, 23)
"The mountains will be removed and the hills dismantled, but my kindness will not be taken from you..." (54:10)
Yeshayahu 34:1-5
"Nations, come near to hear, and kingdoms, hearken. The earth and the fullness thereof, the world and all its offspring. For the Lord has indignation against all the nations and wrath against all their host. He has destroyed them; He has given them to the slaughter. And their slain ones shall be thrown, and their corpses-their stench shall rise, and mountains shall melt from their blood. And all the host of heaven shall melt, and the heavens shall be rolled like a scroll, and all their host shall wither as a leaf withers from a vine, and as a withered [fig] from a fig tree. For My sword has become sated in the heaven. Behold, it shall descend upon Edom, and upon the nation with whom I contend, for judgment."
Yeshayahu 34: 8-9
"For it is a day of vengeance for the Lord, a year of retribution for the plea of Zion. And its streams shall turn into pitch and its dust into sulfur, and its land shall become burning pitch."
Tehillim:
"...we do not fear when the earth changes, when mountains are dismantled in the heart of the seas." (46:2,3)
The Zohar:Before Redemption -Moslems will fight against Christians
The holy Zohar (written some 2000 years ago by rabbi Shim'on Bar-Yoahi ZYA"A), prophesied the next passage (brought in the commentary on Exodus, VaEra parasha, page 32):
And the Ishamelites shall ignite big wars in the world, until they will make the Edomites (which are Christians by Jewish tradition) gather to a war against them.
And shall make wars: one on the sea, one in land and (one) near Jerusalem. And those shall rule over those. And the holy land will not be handed over to the Edomites (Christians).
At that time, one people will be awaken from the end of the world to the big sinful city, and there he will ignite a war that will last three months. And peoples will gather there, and will fall in his hands.
Until all the Edomites (Christians) will gather on him (from all the ends of the world). Then HaShem (G-d) will be awakened on them.
This is the meaning of the writing (Isiah 34,6): "For HaShem has a sacrifice in Bossrah" etc. and at the end of it, it says (Job 38,13): "to take hold of the ends of the earth"
And shall destroy the Ishamelites from us, and will break all the armies of Above, and there shall not remain any army Above for a people of the world, except for the army of Israel exclusively.
This is the meaning of the writing (Psalms 121,5): "HaShem (G-d) is your shadow on your right hand", because the holy name is in the (spiritual) right side, and the Torah is also in the (spiritual) right side. Therefore all depends on the right side.
And we have learnt orally: He who come to pray, will put his right hand over his left hand, as it was established in Jewish Halacha.
At the Latter Days (Psalms 60): "Deliver your right and answer me", and at that time it is written (Zefaniah 3): "For then I shall turn to peoples in a clear language, all to call the name of HaShem (G-d), to worship him together". And it is written (Zechariah 14): "And HaShem (G-d) shall be the King of all the land, on that day HaShem (G-d) will be one, and his name will be one".
HaShem shall be blessed for ever, Amen and Amen.
We definitely see here an amazing prophecy of Moslems "making troubles" to Jews in the Land of Israel, but - more important - that the Moslems will ignite a war which will bring most of the Christian nations to fight them, as we see the beginning of the process right before our eyes with the Sep. 11 attack and the war in Afghanistan. We know as a fact that bin Laden wanted to start a war with Christianity, because Islam believes that the last war will be made between "believers" (in Islam) and "Romans" (Christians).
The outstanding thing is, that the Zohar was written about 2000 years ago, when Christianity was only in the beginning and Mohammed wasn't even born yet..."
Daniel 8:22-25: And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors have completed their transgression, there shall stand up a king of fierce countenance, and understanding stratagems.
The enemies of HaShem will promise the world and Israel peace treaties if they follow but the intentions will be sinister. In the last days Israel would have a peace treaty in place that the enemies will confirm and eventually break
Daniel 2:40-44:And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron; forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and beateth down all things; and as iron that crusheth all these, shall it break in pieces and crush....There would be a move toward a global government but it will not succeed
Isaiah 11:12: And He will set up an ensign for the nations, and will assemble the dispersed of Israel, and gather together the scattered of Judah from the four corners of the earth.
The Arch Of Titus relief in Rome detailing the Roman sacking of Jerusalem and the Jews exiled and taken as slaves
Ezekiel 37:21: And say unto them: Thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the nations, whither they are gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land;
Over six million Jews have returned to Israel in recent times. This is unprecedented in human history. Never has a people or group been dispersed for many centuries, to every corner of the globe, and then regathered back to their homeland. Yet, HaShem said it, and has done it, as written- before our very eyes.
Jews gathering at the Kotel (the Wailing Wall) of the 2nd Temple for The Priestly Blesing of the Kohanim
Jeremiah 30:18: Thus saith the LORD: Behold, I will turn the captivity of Jacob's tents, and have compassion on his dwelling-places; and the city shall be builded upon her own mound, and the palace shall be inhabited upon its wonted place.
Since 1948, Jerusalem has been rebuilt on the old ruins exactly as foretold.
Jeremiah 29:18: And I will pursue after them with the sword, with the famine, and with the pestilence, and will make them a horror unto all the kingdoms of the earth, a curse, and an astonishment, and a hissing, and a reproach, among all the nations whither I have driven them;
Anti-Semitism worldwide anticipated
History confirms that the Jews have been persecuted as no other people or group. Today, anti-Semitism is a global epidemic. For example, of over 700 General Assembly resolutions passed since the establishment of the United Nations in 1945, nearly 450 condemn Israel. None have been passed against any Arab country, nor any Arab terrorist organization. In other words, out of 190 nations in the UN, over 60% of all General Assembly resolutions rebuke just one member, Israel!
As of this writting, violent antisemitic, attacks and murders have been taking palce against Jews worldwide. France, The UK, India, South America, and even in the USA. Not just in Israel. Little is said in the media.
Even Mumbai, was played down by the media. Indian doctors were horrified and in disbelief that the media mentioned so little as to what happened at the Chabad House. Few know that the Rabbi's wife was tortured, genitaly mutilated, and had her baby cut out from her belly, only to be butchered before her eyes, as she lay dying.
Psalms 83:4: They have said: 'Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.'
All surrounding nations would be united against Israel
This has never happened in history. Yet today, Israel is surrounded by Muslim nations sworn to her destruction.
The UN meets in an attempt to dismantle Israel
Zechariah 12:3 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will make Jerusalem a stone of burden for all the peoples; all that burden themselves with it shall be sore wounded; and all the nations of the earth shall be gathered together against it.
Jerusalem would be a burdensome stone to all nations
Daniel 11:39: And he shall deal with the strongest fortresses with the help of a foreign god; whom he shall acknowledge, shall increase glory; and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for a price.
Another unimaginable prophecy: In 1947, United Nations Resolution 181 planned the partitioning of Israel. Currently, the West Bank, the Golan Heights, and Gaza, have been divided up into Jewish and Palestinian settlements.
Israel would be partitioned by all nations
The East Gate sealed by the Moslem Wakf to prevent the Jewish Moshiach from entering and fufilling the prophecy.
Ezekiel 44:1-2:.Then he brought me back the way of the outer gate of the sanctuary, which looketh toward the east; and it was shut. And the LORD said unto me: 'This gate shall be shut, it shall not be opened, neither shall any man enter in by it
The East Gate would remain closed until Moshiach arrives. At Moshiach's arrival, he will enter Jerusalem through the now sealed Eastern Gate.
Today, as prophesied, the East Gate remains sealed. (It was sealed by the Moslem Wakf to prevent the Jewish Moshiach from entering and fufilling the prophecy.)
Isaiah 24:19: The earth is broken, broken down, the earth is crumbled in pieces, the earth trembleth and tottereth;
Earthquakes will occur in diverse places
Zechariah 14:12: And this shall be the plague wherewith the LORD will smite all the peoples that have warred against Jerusalem: their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their sockets, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.
The neutron bomb melts (dissolves) its victims just as HaShem warned 2500 years ago. Their flesh shall dissolve while they stand on their feet, Their eyes shall dissolve in their sockets, And their tongues shall dissolve in their mouths. This was unimaginable in prophet Zechariah's (zs'kl) day. The use of nuclear weapons is anticipated.
Isaiah 17:1: The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.
The cities of Aroer are forsaken; they shall be for flocks, which shall lie down, and none shall make them afraid.
The fortress also shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus; and the remnant of Aram shall be as the glory of the children of Israel, saith the LORD of hosts.
The end of Syria's Damascus and Jordan's Ammon...
10 signs revealed to Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai, zs'l, of the coming of Moshiach:
Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai was the favored student of the great Rabbi Akiva. The spiritual leader of the Bar Kochba Revolt against Rome in 135 CE, he was one of the four great sages who entered deeply into Pardes- the "Orchard" of Kabbalah, and returned mentally and spiritually whole. Rabbi Akiva passed the sacred knowledge of Kabbalah to Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai.
Rabbi Akiva was condemed by the Romans as a criminal for teaching Torah. He was flayed alive with iron combs.
Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai, as a result of his close connection to Rabbi Akiva, was pursued relentlessly by the Roman army. To escape the certain horrific torture and death that his teacher had suffered at the hands of the Romans, Yochai and his son, Rabbi Elazar be Shimon, hid and lived in a cave for 13 years.
During these 13 years, Yochai and his son studied Torah, the Revealed Torah and the Hidden, or Secret, Torah, the "Torat HaSod," also known as "Kabbalah. He then transcribed these teachings into a book called the "Zohar", meaning "Book of Splendor" or "Radiance."
First Sign: Three pillars of fire will come down from heaven and will stand from the earth to the heaven for three days and three nights. All the nations will panick and tell Am Israel: "Make us Tzizit for us to wear!"
As it says in Zecharia 8:23
Ten men shall take hold, out of all the languages of the nations, shall even take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying: We will go with you, for we have heard that God is with you."
HKB'H will make miracles in the earth and heaven, as it says in Yoel 3;3: And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke."
Why blood before fire? Because as it was in Egypt.
Second Sign: Three men will go out, one of them will stand over the grave and awaken the dead, the second man will light his eyes and skin, and the third man will heal the cripple with magic. 80,000 of Am Israel will erroneously follow them - and they are not from Bnei Israel, they are from the Givonim and mobs that mixed in with Am Israel. HKB'H will refine everyone as it says in Zecharia 13;9: and will refine them as silver is refined"
Third Sign: HKB'H will take out three rainbows and they will stand in the heaven for three days and three nights. The rainbows will be seen from one end of the world till its end and none will not look alike. All the nations will see and feel tremendeous fear and say: "HKB"H is bringing the Great Flood to the world? G.od has promised that He will not bring the Great Flood into the world."
As it says in Isiah 54;9: " For this is as the waters of Noah unto Me; for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth."
And the same way He swore not to bring the Great Flood into the world, He swore not to rebuke, as it says Isiah 54;9: "So have I sworn that I would not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee."
Samuel 1 2:4:The bows of the mighty men are broken, and they that stumbled are girded with strength
Who will stumble? These are Am Israel, as it says in Samuel 2 22;40:"For Thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle."
Fourth Sign: Rain will come down from heaven for three days and three night but it isn't rainwater, it's blood. 80,000 of the men that went astray after the 3 false messengers will drink from this water and die. Every man and woman that went after them will drink and die.
Fifth Sign: HKB'H will send dew from heaven for three days and three night and it will heal the blood that covered the earth and will revive the grains. All the nations will think that it's rain and not dew as it says in Hosea 14;6-8: "I will be as the dew unto Israel.... They that dwell under his shadow shall again make corn to grow"
Sixth Sign: It will darken for three days and three night on the nations and it will be light for Am Israel, as it says in Isaiah 60;2 "For, behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the peoples; but upon thee Hashem will arise, and His glory shall be seen upon thee'"
And all the nation will feel tremendeou fears and will come and bow to Israel and say, (Zecharia 8;23) "We will go with you, for we have heard that G.od is with you."
Seventh Sign: King of Edom will come to Jerusalem and all the Ishmaelim will run away from him and will go to Yemen. They will gather into a big army and one will emerge from them and his name is Hatar and will be crowned as the king. They will all go to Batzra and the King of Edom will hear this and will follow them and they will make a war against one another, as it says Isaiah 34;6: "for HaShem hath a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Edom"
Hatar will kill many from Edom and the king of Edom will run away from him and Hatar will die. The king of Edom will return a second time to Yerushalayim and will enter the Heichal (temple) and will place the crown on his head on the fountain stone and say, "Creator of the World! I have already returned what my forefathers have taken..." In his days there will be tragedies.
Eighth Sign: HKB'H will suddenly take out Nechemia ben Chushiel, he is Moshiach ben Yosef, as it says in Malachi 3;1: "and HaShem, whom ye seek, will suddenly come to His temple"
He will make war with the king of Edom and will kill him and he will put the crown on him that the king of Edom returned to Yerushalayim and the whole world will know about Nechemia.
Ninth Sign: A man will come out of of the Romi nation and his name is Armilus, the son of Satan, the son of the idol rock in Romi that has the image of a female and the Satan sleeps with her and this man will be born from it. On the day of his birth, he wil be like 100 years old. And he will make war in Alexandria and destroy the entire sea coast - woe is the person that will be caught by him!
And then he will personally come to Gaza and prepare his 'chair' there. These are his signs.. his height is 10 amot... And he will sit on his chair and he will abuse and curse and say to the nations: "I am god! Bring me my torah that I gave you!," and he will say to Am Israel, "Bring your Torah!." And they will come with Nechemia ben Chushiel and bring him the Sefer Torah and he'll say, "I don't believe in this Torah!" and they will reply, "If you don't believe in this Torah, you are no god, you are Satan." As it says in Zecharia 3:2:'HaShem will rebuke you, Satan".
At that time he will take Am Israel, the 30 that accompanied Nechemia and will burn them together with the Torah, and he will say to Nechemia, "Till now you don't have faith in me?" and he'll reply, "I believe in nothing except the G-d of Israel, the G-d of Heaven that gave the Torah to Moshe Rabenu (zs'l) - in Him, I believe!" And he will command to kill him in the house of his gods that he placed in his palace. He will kill Nechemia in Yerushalayim and will throw his carcass in Yerushalayim. And Am Israel will eulogize him, as it says in Zecharia 12;12: And the land shall mourn, every family".
And at that time there will be many tragedies on Am Israel and they will hide in pits and some will run away to the desert and they will sit there for 40 days and eat bitter herbs and yell from pain. And at that time, Micha'el the high Heavenly Minister will stand and say, "Creator of the World! Remember the oath You swore to their forefathers. And You promised, (Yirmiyahu 50;20) " for I will pardon them whom I leave as a remnant" And HaShem will listen to the prayer of Micha'el, the Minister of Am Israel.
Tenth Sign: HKB'H will take out of prison Moshiach ben David and thru him, Am Israel will be redeemed. And Armilus, the son of Satan, will go to the Moabite desert - and he is Armilus the son of the stone. At that hour, Am Israel will yell so loud, it will reach the heavens and the Heavenly Minister Micha'el will have mercy and will stand in prayer to HKB'H and say, "Creator of the World, remember the oath You swore to their forefathers and what you said to Your servant Moshe Rabenu (Mamidbar 14:20) And HaShem said: 'I have pardoned according to thy word." and (Yirmiyahu 50;20) for I will pardon them whom I leave as a remnant"
And HaShem will listen to the prayer of Micha'el, the Minister of Am Israel.
And, (VaYikra 20;26) And ye shall be holy unto Me' - and You separated them for Your Glory! And HKB'H will listen to the prayers of Micha'el, the Heavenly Minister of Am Israel.
And more on the tenth sign. HaShem will take out Menachem ben Amiel, Moshiach ben David, from prison as it says in Kohelet 4;14:' For out of prison he came forth to be king."
