Geula Wheels in Motion

I just saw debka.com revealing that Obama and the Saudi king Abdullah have signed a secret pact regarding the Middle East and other things....

Since anyone reading this blog knows that I firmly believe we are watching the final stage of the Geula unfold, this news is a real shocker and wake up call. A major event is supposed to take place in which the world leaders (especially Persia aka IRAN) are each antagonizing each other. We can fairly assume has already begun - Iran, Syria, North Korea, Russia, Islamacization, etc. This culminates in the "King of Arab" leaving in order to take advice from the King of Edom (i think), while the King of Persia destroys the world.

Now, there is only one way [read: Nuclear Holocaust] we currently know of that anyone can "destroy the world". We have a report from Friday that Iran has more than enough enriched nuclear material to make at least one bomb. We have Iran antagonizing the world. We can fairly assume that Gog is Obama. What is still missing is the King of Arab getting advice from the king of Edom. With this piece of news, we can rest assured that this will happen very shortly.

Iran is on a very short leash and will need to make a major move very soon. We know that ahmadinejad (haman?) believes that he has to destroy the evil forces [read: Am Yisrael] in order to bring what he believes is the final redemption. Since he believes that he will be rewarded for this, he has no problem risking himself or his countrymen to enhance that end.

I believe we are headed for a crash course with this Iranian lunatic unless we shape up. The roles have been cast and the play has begun. We can end it early if we change - I hope we can. The "ketz" is a set time (most likely this year). If we don't bring about Mashiach through our actions, peacefully, we will NOT prevent the Geula from coming (even catastrophically, c"v). Let's really get to work, FAST!

Time to make Aliyah, too!

More Weirdness with Gilad Shalit

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!

Bailout - What it means to me

The continuing talk about a "bailout" of one company or another has got me thinking. What significance does this mean for us? With different industries and banks coming out and asking for a "bailout" and the US government setting aside almost $1 trillion, we have to be asking ourselves, what lesson are we to learn from here....

The US government is looked upon by most of the civilized world as the supreme leader of the world. And they make sure to play the part. The companies, although not all deserving this bailout, are being doled out tons of money, not based on their merit, but based on the fact that "they cannot fall". Their collapse would cause too much damage or would affect the economy too much.

The lesson to me is especially powerful and directed for our times. We are witnessing the final steps of the process of Mashiach's arrival. We are watching it all unfold before our eyes. Collectively, we may not all be deserving of such a wonderful "bailout" (redemption). We may have many faults that are truly in need of correction. However, we are the reason the world was created and if not for us (and our learning Torah), it would instantly disappear. We are too important to overlook, and therefore we are in desperate need of a "bailout" too.

We have been waiting 1940 years since the destruction of the Second Bet Hamikdash. We need to tell Hashem that we've had enough. We have faults, but how much of that is because of our wandering through the four corners of the earth? How much is because we are subjected to foreign ideas and cultures?

We may not deserve it, but we know from the redemption in Egypt, it was not necessarily something that was deserved, either. Datan and Aviram came out of Egypt as did Micha with his idol. The Satan tried to prosecute us as we walked through the Red Sea on dry land. But we got out! The world needed us too much. The time came... The "ketz" came.

It looks like it's coming again, for the last and final time. Let's ask for it. Let's pray, beg and cry for it. We've had enough suffering. We've experienced tragedy and suffering that no other nation has seen or experienced. But unlike them, we're still here and we'll be here forever. It's just a matter of time until we see that happen. Hopefully, if we truly care enough, we will see it before our very eyes.

Watching it unfold...
