A major lead-up to the very end...& more

18 Iyyar 5786 | י"ח אייר ה'תשפ"ו

La"g laOmer 5786

Blogger's Note: This first part is about as close to real "breaking news" as I can ever manage! A major part of the process leading up to the Very End of Days. The second is a comment to Tomer Devorah about a topic she wrote about a few years ago, and brought up in another post a couple of months ago.

I'm writing about a summary of the true story of the nations' very real conspiracy against the Jews, predicted in Psalm 83 by Asaf, known as the Seer: A set of five essays, written in scholarly fashion by a man named David Moses ben Abraham and first posted by Jewish Home News, has spelled out how first, the Catholic Church, and then Islam along with it, set out to disperse, defame and, if at all possible, destroy the Jewish People. 

The part that remains is how we are to deal with this situation that was handed down to us today; and how Mr. ben Abraham clarifies how we must think about it in order to handle it correctly and effectively.

These words, disperse, defame and destroy, which I'm calling "the unearthed 3Ds" for now, were derived from my study of the five essays linked below, and comprise the pattern taken by the nations to rid the world of us, as if it were possible. The sun, moon and stars are still in the sky, and HaShem promised us that we would exist as long as they do (read Jeremiah/Yirmiyah 31: 34-35 according to the Tana"ch. Mr. ben Abraham went according to the King James version, where the verses are 35-36.) 

(I'm adding v. 36 of the Tana"ch version because it clearly states:

Thus said HASHEM: If the heavens above could be measured or the foundations of the earth plumbed below, so too would I reject the entire seed of Israel because of everything they did — the word of HASHEM.

 -Artscroll translation¹. This adds even more weight to the verses above it.)

My understanding of this, in a nutshell, is that those who condemn Israel have to know a lot more than they can possibly know in order to condemn Israel. And they refuse to know what they can know, never mind the limitations on what they know. 

These are the "unearthed 3Ds" that even Natan Sharansky must learn. Disperse, defame and destroy.

His "Three Ds of antisemitism" were delegitimization, demonization and double standards, and I used them as an excellent guideline for many years. However, mine, in response to the Jewish Home News article discussed in this section, go back to the earliest days of the "modern" (since the Roman Empire and the beginning of the Catholic Church) era.

And, now for Jewish Home News' blockbuster post... 

 Psalm 83 in Real Time: From the Church of Rome to the Islamic Republic

 I am convinced that this is what the Israeli government must focus on learning; and even if they won't, we citizens need to; and any other Jews who want to know the truth about why many Jews, Israelis or not, get it so wrong about how we got into the position we're in. 

It's not so much about what the nations do; it's what the Jews do.

I would like to propose stopping what Tomer Devorah calls "the Eliyahu challenge at the end of days" test dead in its tracks (see video below 🖗). In my humble opinion, the Muslims are completely unqualified to administer it; and all the more so, no one else qualifies either. This is yet another attempt at "Disperse, defame and destroy."

Why? Here are three reasons:

1. They "obey" our commandments in reverse. Lying, stealing, murder and more are constantly practiced against the kufar — anyone who either isn't Muslim or who has defected from Islam. Especially Jews, but could be anyone. 

Our commandments say not to do any of these. Now that I think about it: Whether you are Jewish or not, please pray for us that HaShem will give us the Biblically-mandated court system in Israel.

(The death penalty is a separate thing from murder, since it is a possible just judgment given by a lawful court. The Jewish courts of old were known to not hand out these severe judgments freely. I am not qualified to speak about today's courts in any detail, and governance in general in Israel in this context, although I do have my thoughts about them, considering the scandals that have risen recently within our current system as administered by our current government.)

2. They haven't been tested the way we have, including being culled on a regular basis for the past 2,000 years, beginning in Egypt. Only one-fifth of of our population, who were slaves in their entirety generation after generation for over 200 years (in other words, there were no other Hebrews, Israelites or Jews left in the entire world), left Egypt because all the rest died in the three days of darkness due to their desire to stay in Egypt, resulting in lack of faith in the redemption led by Moses our Teacher (Moshe Rabbenu) at the behest of God. All the rest of those who accompanied us out of there were "erev rav" (the mixed multitude referred to in Exodus, who came along with our ancestors). 

All the rest of the culling was done by human beings who hated Jews. 

3. They haven't had the equivalent of the Erev Rav accompany them and intermarry with them for the last three thousand years plus, messing up our laws, tripping us up constantly in our own eyes and the eyes of the world.

The results would only be what would be expected from any other nation. They're only impressed when we win, despite ourselves. 

Whether we're being tested by a teacher or a judge, or whomever (except HQB"H and the Heavenly court), such a person or group of people would have to have gone through the same "curriculum" as what is being tested on the Jews, and PASSED. After all, don't teachers and judges have to go through tests, not only of the material they learn, but also of their character?

Where is the evidence that the Muslims have passed such tests regarding the Jewish people, whom they would presume to judge? Their great populations and power are not the answer. We Jews learn from the Torah that Esau (the Western World) and Yishmael (the Arab/Middle Eastern world, or a significant portion thereof) will have great power and numbers of people, but that doesn't make them the heirs to the Jewish fortune that is ultimately promised to us.

After all, who would presume to exterminate and then inherit? 


 This is the video Tomer Devorah made of the Eliyahu challenge at the end of days...may it never be.

Some context with our times and recent events: Jewish resilience stems from the knowledge that when God makes a promise to His people (the ones He expects to obey Him), we know that He will keep it, no matter how long it takes. I want to acknowledge here the contribution the living former hostages of the Simchat Torah massacre, both female and male — since the women got out of captivity first — have made to the preservation of the Jewish people in the Holy Land, just by encouraging Shabbat observance (although more observances are probably being encouraged as well). 

And, thank God, the Goldin family finally has their son Hadar's body back, and has put it to rest properly, after over 10 years in captivity (yes, I know this is old news, but I'm still appreciating it.).

At the same time, within the time frame of the hostage release, the sudden explosion of the revelations of the evil deeds of our governance system — which include the more bureaucratic, military and juristocratic parts of the government that the public doesn't vote for — are being exposed and dealt with, God willing. It must be quite an experience for longer-term Israelis than I (only 18.5 years for me at this writing; it's pretty overwhelming for me too.).

Last but not least, for now: The latest attempt at genocide from Iran (or proxies, or something resembling them), whether on "their own" people, or ours. At this writing, "the jury's still out" as they say. 

*** 

Over any plans to deplete the earth of people  — of which the Jewish population is a prime target — I would rather Mashiach be revealed now, or very soon, because the whole point of this open miracle from God is to be witnessed far and wide all over the earth by both the good and the evil who will be alive at that time.

Dealing with bumps in the road before the Great Redemption...

5 Iyar 5786 | ה' אייר ה'תשפ"ו 
Happy 78th Birthday, State of Israel! 
Here's hoping the leadership here wakes up and the d33p state disappears!

 

My favorite "news" source in these days of "war feeling very close to me" are the media led by Avi Abelow, an IDF reservist for at least 20 years (from what I can tell). I remember when he put out the movie Home Game in 2005, depicting the lead-up into the Gerush from Gush Katif, that shows how teenagers back then felt about the impending expulsion (the leadership called it "disengagement." We know now how bad that mistake was! We see how it led directly to the Simchat Torah massacre on October 7, 2023.).

Avi manages to be very encouraging and tough at the same time. Here's an example of how he speaks to us...

 

If there were an election for Mashiach ben Yosef, I would suggest that Avi run for it. His media outlets are Pulse of Israel and Israel Video Network. You can also click on these links on my sidebar here 👉👉👉. They are in two different spots.

The best thing of all is that Avi encourages his audience to look to God for deliverance from our troubles, rather than our leadership or that of the US or other countries...and he's not a rabbi or any other kind of preacher! Just a regular Jew. 

Below is another example, this time with an employee or associate (I don't know what they are called) of IVN.

Thanks to Leah Rosenberg of Israel Unwired for this short video on X, from UN Watch. More details on the article You would think it was satire if it wasn't real. 

The UN voted in Iran — of all countries — to be on a committee dealing with human rights, on 16 April 2026. Last Thursday, at this writing! Spoiler: By a landslide! Can you believe this? If you click on the link immediately above, with the title of the post, you'll get to see the final vote for it.

As Leah commented at the end of her article,

UN members sit there and condemn Israel for anything and everything. And then tyrannical regimes get put on committees dealing with human rights. How twisted and backward that is! The UN is far from a trustworthy institution. This clip of the UN is sadly just one of many examples of how this organization is a farce. Anyone who takes the United Nations seriously does not live on this planet.

Even if it feels like much of the world is against you, stand on the right side of history. Stand with morality. Don’t give in to the nonsense that seemingly permeates the entire world sometimes. Swim against the tide. Because in the end, it will be worth it.

Abba, please redeem us now! Help us do real teshuva (return, repentance) and let the Kingdom come!

A finishing touch: You might love this video, A soldier carries a Torah into battle. That changes everything.

Sefaradim demonstrate how we prepare for Pesach...in Hebrew.

 י"ג ניסן ה'תשפ"ג

 

 

 


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7sFjIekyySI

 by R' Avraham Yosef

This presentation was not videotaped on Pesach itself! Knowledgeable Hebrew-speaking Jews will find a lot of replacements for the usual words in the script. 

Thanks to my teacher Noemi, who is a Sefaradiah and speaks at least 3 and possibly more languages fluently. 

Sorry, no English subtitles. But the video itself is well-enough produced, and the speech (in my opinion) enough on the slow side, that viewers who celebrate Pesach (Passover), but don't speak Hebrew ordinarily, should be able to follow along, and some of the tunes are even familiar to Ashkenazic Jews.

Enjoy!

Israel: "Bomb-shelter state" no longer, with God's help!

4 Nisan 5786 | ד' ניסן ה'תשפ"ו

 

 

The new Holy Temple will look something like this, except in full living color!

 

This post is about the fact that the size of Israel in the world until now has been comparable to the size of a bomb shelter in someone's home (mamad); it would be generous to evoke a shelter like that in an apartment building or public building such as a store (miklat), and not a real country. Consider that all the last 2000 years has been devoted to getting rid of the Jewish people from the face of the earth. This plan has not succeeded, and never will, with God's help. 

Friedrich II (we know him as Frederick the Great), the famous king of Prussia from the mid-to-late 1700s, once asked his Lutheran pastor for a proof of God's existence. "The Jews!" said he. Or something like that. In case you want a little context, during the period of his reign the USA was created (1776). The reference in this paragraph, above, also mentions that he was a Freemason.

Many quotes of the answer use different words and it's hard-to-impossible to choose one. But, the discussion wasn't in English. I used the search term "frederick the great asks proof of God" on Duck Duck Go to confirm what most people older than me know, so that younger readers like us can get the point. You can do it, too. How many versions there are! and none of them contradict the others.

Frederick, like many other rulers, was also a Jew-hater. He even didn't allow the Jews under his authority to marry! (Keep 'em small, weak and dependent...) Read a more detailed account HERE

The 'bomb-shelter state' concept (I doubt that I came up with it alone, but I don't know anyone else who calls it in this manner) includes just enough room to keep us alive, albeit with the threat of annihilation always around the corner from the Jew-haters on all sides, and sometimes right in the face of its citizens. 

The world has challenged God to keep us alive and brave in the face of the nations. I'm writing this for the day that we are free to widen our borders to the proper proportions set aside for us, as stated in the HOLY SCRIPTURES (Tana"kh). I think the world knows that, but certain people want to claim that we're not the descendants of the original Hebrews of yore.

In some circumstances it is best to proceed in a direction the outside world doesn't want, doesn't expect, doesn't think we deserve, and doesn't even think will happen...ad infinitum...because they think we will take orders from America and Europe forever

I guess they don't read their Bibles, or don't take them seriously if they do. 

Please read this article to the end — and then make up your mind. Please be aware that it was written and published at the end of December 2025. A lot of water has flowed under that bridge since then, and you may be a while tracking it down, if you haven't been reading things from our side of the story. 

Don't forget to come back, OK? 😍

Maybe God has let us remain in this condition because our leadership has mistakenly left people in the country who don't belong here, and even promoted them above us in the eyes of the citizenry. This makes them think they will succeed in taking it over, and away from us.

Maybe it's because a lot of Jews here still haven't made up their minds to start observing Shabbat: a signal to God that He comes first. 

But what do I know? 

Our enemies among the ruling elite almost succeeded in the past 2-and-almost-a-half years since the "October Seventh" massive murder attack (known to us as the Simchat Torah massacre). It can no longer be politically correct to keep them in ascendance above the people for whom the country derives its name; and maybe this is the test that will reveal the spiritual Erev Rav (mixed multitude) among us: Who is still in favor of this situation?

Remember that Abba Eban called Israel's former borders — the 1949 armistice lines — "Auschwitz borders." Are these the only borders our elites and the nations they serve will accept from us? HOW DARE THEY??? 

(The ones we have now, from 1967, aren't much better as it stands. We must declare sovereignty over them, regardless of whose interest it is that we give up our very right to take decisions that are good for us.)

It seems to me that there is a shift going on. Both Europe and the US have agreed in the past on keeping us down, and the rest of the world took advantage of that fact. But things are changing as the war goes on.

We are looking for authenticity, and discovering that we must embrace our own identity, full culture and the One behind it all, as well as our language and basic parts of our culture (mainly kashrut and Shabbat/holiday observance, at home as well as in synagogue. Some take on more; others, less. Many different versions of our culture have already shown up, the result of having been among the nations for extended periods.

Trying to emulate the nations has not worked for us. It turns out that they can "flip from one thing to another on a dime." It didn't take very long for them to embrace same-gender marriages and expensive operations to change from the gender God gave them (and their children — horrors!) to the opposite! And now Islam is taking advantage of the confusion that resulted, and many will "fall on their sword" unless they wake up!

 Thank God we aren't discussing gender issues in Israel any more, or so it seems. Teshuva (returning to Israel for the reason we're here) is the current wave. The elites here brought it on themselves (see the Jewish Home News article dated November 2025, link below). These waves will only get stronger, with the help of God!

And a song to end this post...Hi-atollah, bye-atollah

The only question I have is: Who is still supplying the Iranian regime with missiles and bombs?
