I've merely picked up on what others said.<br /><br />But anyway, it may comfort you to know that this has been one of my most popular posts ever. It has not shown up on my list of popular posts either, as it happens that I have had a fairly big problem with inflated numbers of hits, from sources that clearly have no interest whatsoever in the Complete Redemption of the Jewish People, ever since the Haifa fires about the last week of November 2016 -- nothing I can do anything about. From a certain point on, all the more recent posts have been victims of it. But THIS POST so far has not succumbed. The fake hitters never picked it up, b"H, and every hit has been from someone who at least was interested in the topic. The small number of comments belies the readership (I thank you all). In fact, however, if you'll look, it is the largest number of comments I have ever had!<br /><br />But, you're right. It would have gone genuinely viral if the interest were there; and it has not, from what I can tell. I'm used to that. It may have been a test - of people's interest, of my own nisayonot...of whatever.<br /><br />But I don't have Facebook, and I am aware that some of my articles have been taken there; maybe people have discussed it there and I have no idea that it ever happened. Could you let me know?HDG, Yerushalayim, E"Y Shlemahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10943174572566458612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3706868407157129107.post-91744707599452457942017-03-26T17:51:18.557+03:002017-03-26T17:51:18.557+03:00Unfortunately, there ia a lack of interest in the ...Unfortunately, there ia a lack of interest in the fascinating subject of Mashiach's identity. This proofs once more his coming al hamor, on the donkey, for Am Yisrael has no merit of rachamim. The time of coming with grace has passed already, as Rav Mizrachi said in his shiurim. <br />This lack of interest is for sure shows that geulah is very closed, it will happen when there are signs that the last generation before geulah is the worst so far. And this is the truth, if we do comparison with past generations. We as Jewish people stand on the shoulders of past generations. <br />I truly didn't expect the absence of comments on this post, but now I realise why: this year may be the expected time of geulah. It is a paradox that we get some clues just by observing the collective reaction correlated with well inspired Rabbis such as Mizrachi and Anava. <br />Drornoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3706868407157129107.post-77021999814588948672017-03-17T16:45:44.267+02:002017-03-17T16:45:44.267+02:00Chava, thanks for your response.

And this is essential for Am Yisrael. The more such post subjects, the better. <br />Truly, Moshe has struggled to bring to us the First Redemption, his yworking being in the open. But with Mashiach things are different, particularly he is hidden working behind the walls. That is why I made a distinction between the two Redeemers. Above all Mashiach comes once the Gog uMagog wars are finished. He is the Messenger of peace, doesn't need to struggle as Moshe did in his time. Hence, the Last Redeemer is all victorious. Any guess who may be Mashiach is superfluous. But for the shake of the glorious vision we keep trying. <br />Other messianic topics would be or a huge interest: <br />1. Can we envisage how Mashiach works behind the walls?<br />2. What Mashiach will do once the wars of Gog uMagog are finished? <br />3. Would there be a gematriah hint in the Mashiach's civic name? He is a human being having name and surname.<br /> The 3 above subjects are humble ideas to expand the matter of Mashiach mission for Am Yisrael and the world. <br />Thanks.

I had no i...Dror, thanks so much for your comment.<br /><br />I had no intention of declaring anyone Mashiah, just bringing to people's attention that something is going on here.<br /><br />One thing I do know: If we the nation had been worthy, as a whole, there would have been no obstacles for Mashiah and he would arrive "like one on the clouds of glory." But, since we are not, he is arriving "riding on a donkey." As I understand them, these are prophecies that don't have literal meaning, but indicate that things that would have gone quickly and painlessly, are going slowly and quite painfully for all concerned.<br /><br />You might recall that Moshe Rabbenu's coming as the first Redeemer was slow and painful, too. He had to run away to avoid capital punishment for killing the Egyptian, and haShem called to him something like 60 years later (at the age of nearly 80, if I recall correctly).<br /><br />The identification of our righteous Mashiah will be quite astonishing, since it is said that everyone knows him, but no one (or none but a very few) know who he is for certain. I have no qualifications to clarify who Mashiah is, and so I have not tried.<br /><br />Maybe Eliyahu haNavi will come by and tell us! I think that's what's supposed to happen.<br /><br />And just in case someone thinks to pop in here and declare Yoshke the mashiah, ubettafuggettabouttit! Mashiah is NOT G-d.<br /><br />May we merit to see Geulah Shlemah speedily in our days. Amen!HDG, Yerushalayim, E"Y Shlemahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10943174572566458612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3706868407157129107.post-58323213783939282502017-03-13T19:14:42.946+02:002017-03-13T19:14:42.946+02:00First of all this post brings in discussion the fu...First of all this post brings in discussion the fundamental question: Who may be the Mashiach? For Am Yisrael its a matter of mission accomplishment, hence fulfilling Hashem's will. <br />Truly, the title of the post puts the right question, clarification or confusion? The lack of clarification will for sure generate confusion. <br />One issue recurring is the portrayal of Mashiach as a suffering man. The matter appears in the case of the two candidates as above mentioned. Why Mashiach should suffer? In my view it makes no sense for the Messenger of Hashem to be in jail, to struggle during his mission. The real Mashiach should be victorious all over, no jail, no suffering, no obstacles. As i see it, the two candidates are far from displaying life actions to be regarded as candidates. They may be simply tzaddikim. <br />The appearance of the true Mashiach will be astonishing, as has happened with Moshe. Who would believe that a man raised and educated in the Pharaoh house will lead the Jewish slaves to freedom? So will be with the Mashiach, surprising, unbelieving, out of any deductive judgement. <br />Mashiach is truly hidden, he works behind the wall, his identity will be discovered first by Eliyahu, who later on introduces Mashiach to Am Yisrael. <br />This post has value for keeping the vision alive, but brings no clarification like any others.However people shouldn't fall in confusion. Just wait and see, and follow the requirements for End of Days generation for the purpose of geulah. <br />Drornoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3706868407157129107.post-84725395963032147502017-03-01T08:47:03.145+02:002017-03-01T08:47:03.145+02:00Neshama, your link doesn't work; therefore I c...Neshama, your link doesn't work; therefore I cannot reply to your comment.<br /><br />Anon 27/2 @19:18: Don't get me started! ;) Could it be that you, like I, have observed that many people think their rav is Mashiah? This post actually dwells on some of the hints these two are displaying that have been mentioned by our sages previously. I believe it was the Ramba"n who wrote that Mashiah would be accompanied by policemen because he'd been in jail, in reference to the gates of Rome. I don't remember where I saw it.<br /><br />Mselbit: Meir's Kohenic ancestry stems from his <i>mother</i>, Tova Kahane Ettinger -- making him a Jew with Levi ancestry, but not a Kohen. The name Ettinger suggests (I don't know for certain) that his father makes him a direct descendant of King David, of the tribe of Yehuda. See the list linked to in the post.<br /><br />MR: Thank you for your key contribution to the post as well!
