"New World Order"...or HQB"H Resetting Creation Before Mashiah?

light of 5 Nisan 5780

The first step to building a skyscraper is to dig a huge hole...(source)

Many events in this time period we are living in — which really began about mid-November 2019, approximately 17 Heshvan 5779 5780 — have an aspect of opposites in them. As people become more aware of the dangers of coronavirus, they are seeing the obvious aspect of "the end of the world."

Bottom line, "the end of the world" could mean two things: Takeover by the wicked of the world, or takeover by HaQadosh Baruch Hu and His servant, Mashiah.

This can be easily demonstrated through gematria: Everyone knows by now that Nahash (נחש) - snake and Mashiah (משיח) both equal 358 and that they are opposites.

An even stronger connection can be made between Keter (כתר) - crown (and Corona) and Karet (כרת) - "cut off." They are made up of the same letters, equaling 620, combining the 613 Jewish mitzvoth and the 7 Noahide ones (and 8 —which stands for "above nature" if you add all the numbers of the sum together)!

(Many thanks to True Tzadikkim (towards the bottom of the post) for most of the gematria analysis. H/T to Myrtle Rising, comments section.)

So, which is it? Crown Mashiah or be cut off?

Depends. Choose wisely.

I'll quote from a text conversation on Tomer Devorah between another commenter and me, as follows (original text included):

Yep we can expect the call for "global government" to get louder and louder.
A "global government" needs a "global leader" for a "global economy" for a "global population" which needs a "global religion".

Welcome Armilus aka "second coming" aka "mahdi".

May the Goel Tzedek ben Yosef not die in battle...

How do we know that the global leader won't be Mashiah?

How do we know that the global government won't function without the Jewish system at its head?

How do we know that H' won't turn everything upside down so that His religion will be the global religion?

That would be really "v'nahafokh hu"...wouldn't it?

Devash went on to quote my questions two posts later and took the opportunity to clarify how to approach the answer to them. I think that she and I pretty much understand each other, although we've never met personally. So there may be room for misunderstanding, but I don't think we disagree all that often.

I was looking at the very end of this process, and I skipped over the important in-between step, part of which was already taken by the commenter to whom I had replied, whom I've quoted above. In a way (as Devash may have intuited), they are one posting by two people. After all, I did pass on to her a video (the last comment, as far as I know) that spoke to my anonymous fellow commenter's point, and she reposted it here.

Also, we were warned after that —yesterday, in fact — by Ynet about real cops being in our streets, enforcing the lockdown.

The in-between part I skipped is that the false messiahs go first. G-d has always been known to test his closest ones in a more exacting manner than others. The whole Israelites-in-the-desert experience (which the whole world knows about by now) was test after test after test...

And so it is now. Will Jews go after one of the "first" alternatives, including the "one world government" along with the religious alternatives, or will we wait for the real Messiah?

I was taught the lesson in high school many years ago, using the speeches of Brutus and Marcus Antonius at the funeral of Julius Caesar, that it is better to go last than first (this link is to a somewhat more detailed analysis of the speeches, and includes this concept...) because the last speaker has the advantage of being able to spot the previous speakers' weaknesses.

Of course, haShem doesn't have to study His opposition, since He created and knows them all, including their weaknesses. It's whether we know them, too, that counts, as far as we're concerned.

All the more so, it is better that G-d's candidate for Mashiah go last, for our sake. Wait for it!
