Amos Gilad: Why Did Olmert Wake Up Now to Free Shalit?
(from: INN)
As I mentioned previously - It's just so weird that this is happening now. The most interesting part is the "urgency" we are seeing with this issue. The "urgency" of Obama signing the stimulus. The "urgency" of Iran to get nukes... Reminds me of the "urgency" Pharoah had to release Yosef and make him second in command. The "ketz" came and things had to happen FAST.
I wonder if it's coming again!

Gilad Shalit - Follow Up
I previously mentioned that Gilad Shalit and his captivity may hint to Mashiach ben Yosef. Following what I mentioned in Israel's 18th Knesset regarding Rabbi Kaduri's prediction that Sharon's goverment would be the final one before Mashiach, i find the connection being intensified even further as I will explain.
As the election was nearing, talks continued for the release of Gilad Shalit. To satisfy voters, the Kadima-led government was discussing the possible release of 1000 terrorists for him. It was a feverish skit to get him out immediately. It sounded like a dream, to hear some reports that he may be home within the week. But it would have largely been for selfish political gains; to guarantee a left-wing victory in the election.
Even now, with elections over, there is still a lot of hype and talk about getting him out. The stance taken by the Israeli side also becoming tougher as well.
It is definitely an interesting juxtaposition of events: The ending of [hopefully the last] government before Mashiach and the feverish attempt to end it off with the release of Gilad Shalit. Unfortunately, he still needs our prayers and has not been returned safely home. But it is quite possible that the same wicked government that uprooted thousands of people of Gush Katif with false promises and left them to literally wander the country, does not merit bringing about such a redemption of Gilad Shalit.
Maybe the anti-religious government would like to bring the redemption, but their attempts are futile as they forgot about Hashem. Maybe Gilad Shalit and his captivity does somehow hint to Mashiach ben Yosef, who will appear on scene, sometime very soon. But it is an exercise in futility to try to mix the two - the government of Israel and Mashiach and hence we have not yet merited Gilad's release.
We do however see a big change in this election; that in all likelihood a "right-wing" coalition will be formed. Although I do not really expect this to happen for real, the discussions have an impact on our thoughts. We are witnessing major shifts and definitely for a good reason. In His wonderful kindness, Hashem is mentally preparing us to transition to the Kingdom of Hashem on Earth. With baby steps, He lets us see small miracles that anyone with open eyes can see. The True Kingdom is on its way.
Let's keep praying for Gilad's release and for Mashiach to come right away!

Mashiach Ben Yosef - Possible Sign
This came to mind the other day, while thinking about our dear captive Soldier Gilad Shalit - May Hashem bring him back home, alive, healthy, safe and sound immediately!
Since every detail of everything that happens is directed and orchestrated specifically by Hashem, the question was, what is the message of Gilad Shalit being captured? Why is it his name that is being discussed always in the news? Why do we have to keep hearing the name "Gilad Shalit" ? What is the message behind it?
It then came to mind that we are waiting for Mashiach ben Yosef to come and save us from all our enemies. Ironically, Yosef had a great-grandson named Gilad. He was the son of Machir, the son of Menashe, the son of Yosef. Therefore the name Gilad already seems to signify something to do with Yosef and moreover Mashiach ben Yosef.
Even more ironic is that the second part of his name, "Shalit", was also mentioned in reference to Yosef himself. It says that Yosef was the "Shalit" - the leader, in Egypt. Yosef's position of leadership was actually a foreshadowing of his future leadership as Mashiach ben Yosef.
The message may be that the name Gilad Shalit is actually a sign to us, that Mashiach ben Yosef has already arrived on the scene. But Gilad Shalit unfortunately, is still in captivity. So to, Mashiach ben Yosef is "in captivity", waiting for is for us to do something -- to make mass Teshuva on an unparalleled scale. We need to trust in Hashem a REAL trust beyond a shadow of a doubt and realize that nobody can help us but Him. (Maybe the key to Mashiach is through Hamas who captured Gilad Shalit and all that will ensue from this war).
Please visit BringMashiach.com and accept to become better in any way and write it up for all to see and become inspired. May we all be Zoche (merit) to see the real Mashiach ben Yosef with Hashem's mercy very soon, Amen.
