The Ant and the Grasshopper

THE ANT AND THE GRASSHOPPER

This one is a little different... . Two Different
Versions.... .......... .... Two Different Morals

OLD
VERSION

The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.

The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away...
Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed. The grasshopper has no food or shelter, so he dies out in the cold.

MORAL OF THE STORY: Be responsible for yourself!


MODERN VERSION

The ant works hard in the withering heat and the rain all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter. The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away. Come winter, the shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while he is cold and starving.

CBS , NBC , PBS , CNN, and ABC show up to provide pictures of the shivering grasshopper next to a video of the ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with food.

America is stunned by the sharp contrast.
How can this be, that in a country of such wealth, this poor grasshopper is allowed to suffer so?

Kermit the Frog appears on Oprah with the grasshopper and everybody cries when they sing, ' It's Not Easy Being Green ..'

ACORN stages a demonstration in front of the ant's house where the news stations film the group singing, We shall overcome. Then Rev. Jeremiah Wright has the group kneel down to pray to God for the grasshopper's sake.

President Obama condemns the ant and blames President Bush, President Reagan, Christopher Columbus , and the Pope for the grasshopper's plight.

Nancy Pelosi & Harry Reid exclaim in an interview with Larry King that the ant has gotten rich off the back of the grasshopper , and both call for an immediate tax hike on the ant to make him pay his fair share.

Finally, the EEOC drafts the Economic Equity & Anti-Grasshopper Act retroactive to the beginning of the summer.


The ant is fined for failing to hire a proportionate number of green bugs and, having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated by the Government Green Czar and given to the grasshopper.

The story ends as we see the grasshopper and his free-loading friends finishing up the last bits of the ants food while the government house he is in, which, as you recall, just happens to be the ant's old house, crumbles around them because the grasshopper doesn't maintain it.

The ant has disappeared in the snow, never to be seen again. The grasshopper is found dead in a drug related incident, and the house, now abandoned, is taken over by a gang of spiders who terrorize the ramshackle, once prosperous and once peaceful, neighborhood.

The entire Nation collapses bringing the rest of the free world with it.

MORAL OF THE STORY: Be careful how you vote in 2010.

I've sent this to you because I believe that you are an ant not a grasshopper! Make sure that you pass this on to other ants. Don't bother sending it on to any grasshoppers because they wouldn't understand it, anyway.

Gematriot of Barack Obama

...Been thinking - We've all been calculating his name as Barak with a 'Kof' = 100 - as in the Hebrew word for lightning - Barak. However, if his name is sourced in Arabic, it's much more likely that the name really is spelled with a 'Kaf' = 20 - as in Arabic (Hebrew counterpart of Beracha, blessing).

Maybe we all need look into the Gematriot again and see what comes up...

How Ironic?

Does anyone else find it totally absurd that obama is discussing sanctions on Iran with none other than Russia? Didn't they build the nuclear facilities for Iran in the first place?!

Would love to hear what you think in the comments...

Modern Tower of Babel

Just a quick thought:
The original Tower of Babel was created by a united force of corrupt people. They all used their strength and power to attempt to make a united "global" government - one especially powerful - hence their desire to fight Hashem and "rule" without Him.

Their punishment was separation - to different nations, languages and parts of the world. This has been the case ever since. The world has yet to be united in its desire for anything!

But today, we see the world headed towards global government. It started with the League of Nations, changed to the UN and is now basically headed by obama. They even awarded him an undeserved Nobel Peace Prize, without his making peace in any form.

Unless of course that "peace" really means being the leader of the global government that will unite once again to attempt to destroy Hashem. This time, that attempt will not be merely a tower to shoot arrows at Hashem, rather a coup on the people of Hashem - the Jewish people. For if there are no people of Hashem (c"v), what kind of Kingdom does Hashem have?!

As our Prophets have told us, there will be a global government that will attempt to destroy the Jewish people. This will take place on the Land of Israel. There will be an unprecedented war in magnitude (yes, bigger than WW2). Every nation will be involved. The leader will be named Gog. Everyone should already know these things. (If not, leave me some comments, and I'll try to gather and post the sources).

Our Rabbis told us that we will not know who this character is, until he arrives on scene. There are very strong indicators that this man is obama. He is getting warmed up in his role. His meteoric rise to fame is definitely proof of Hashem's direct involvement. The fact that he will likely NOT get re-elected, means that this situation will reach its climax within the next 3 years.

Man will never learn. History DOES repeat itself. May Hashem protect us all and bring us Mashiach quickly, safely and peacefully, Amen!

Edom, Red & America

We all assume Edom to be America/The West...
I've been thinking...
Edom actually means Red in Hebrew. Red is associated with Communism - as in Red China, Red Russia, etc. History has proven Communism to be a savage, murderous and destructive system. Just due to the brutality alone, it would not be a far shot to assume that Esav (Edom) is connected with Communism. All the more so, the excessive pursuit of materialism at all costs and the falsehood that permeates all facets of those societies.

What does it have to do with America?

Well, Edom must fall before Mashiach comes. This is mentioned specifically by our Rabbis on Tanach. It is clear that America now stands at a dangerous crossroad - one that could easily be the start of its final fall.

Since obama has taken office, America has been rapidly and subtly transforming it into a regime more like Red Russia than Red-White-and-Blue America. The current direction of the government eerily resembling that of Communist Russia, more and more each day. If so, this may be signaling that America is in fact Edom on another level and those "Red" qualities may be part of sealing its fate.

I think enough people (even those who are half asleep) have realized the scary direction America is taking. We are the children of Yaakov - our "voice" is what will protect us. If we raise up our voices in prayer asking Hashem to protect us among all of Am Yisrael, we will surely be protected. Once again, the safest place (albeit ironic) is Israel - the Land that Hashem promises that His "eyes" are watching always - 'from the beginning of the year until the end of the year'. If one can get to safety, there is no need to hesitate - time is running out...

Obama Kenyan Birth Certificate Found

WND is reporting that they have obtained a copy of Obama's birth certificate showing he was born in Kenya.

This may be the smoking gun. It will prove the oft-quoted Zohar which states that Gog will be a king who will take the position with his smooth tongue and keep it through deceit and trickery....

Let's see what happens next.

The 44th President

Anybody else realize that Obama is the 44th president and 44=DAM (blood) in Hebrew?

Signs.....

Forcing our hand

It's quite clear what obama's objectives are. Lehavdil, we are also quite sure of Hashem's objectives. The question is how do the 2 reconcile?

I believe that the hand of Am Yisrael is being forced. Sometimes that's actually a good thing. By forcing us into a position where we MUST say no to America and defend ourselves, we will be forced to rely on Hashem. There really is nobody behind us. America has never been, either. Even the facade that made it seem that it was America, was only Hashem. Therefore the facade is being removed, so we can trust in THE true cause...

As the demands pile up and we see how stupid they are, it is becoming clearer what will need to take place. Territory for terror as someone put it...That's the trend. Apparently the world just wants us to leave the land once again. As the pictures from the Israel Day Parade yesterday in Manhattan showed 'Close Gitmo, Re-Open Auschwitz' - That's what they want from us.

We're entering a period of time where what will directly determine our fate, is our trust in Hashem. There is nothing else to trust in. Hashem is exposing the false gods for what they are. Time to open our eyes.

Living the Neviim

The plan will of course be based on the concept of ‘two nations for two peoples’, which translates in Israel turning over the eastern portion of Yerushalayim to serve as the capital of a Palestinian state. In actuality, Obama thinks the solution will be found by ‘internationalizing’ Jerusalem, turning it over to United Nations control, a solution that the American president apparently believes will be more palatable to Israel than turning Jerusalem over to the PA directly. (YWN)

I couldn't stop smiling while reading the beginning of this article. No, I'm not crazy...it reminded me of the story of Rabbi Akiva laughing at the foxes coming out of the Kodesh Hakodashim. He was able to see the positive side of the prophecy regarding the foxes on Har Habayit-- that just as this prophecy has come true, the final redemption would also come true quickly.

Every day we say "Ve'Alu Moshi'im Be'Har Tzion Lishpot Et Har Esav, VeHayta LaShem HaMelucha VeHayta Hashem Lemelech Al Kol HaAretz, Bayom Hahu Yihye Hashem Echad Ushmo Echad". Loosely translated - 'And helpers will ascent Mt. Zion to judge the mountain of Esav; And the kingship will be to Hashem (i.e. overtly) and Hashem will be the King of the whole world. On that day Hashem will be One and His name One.

We've been praying and hoping for that day to come. There is no doubt it is coming. We don't have to predict it, it's clear for all to see. Just to note - the UN usually calls themselves "peacekeepers" or "aid workers" - both terms can easily fit the translation of Moshi'im - "helpers". The attempt to internationalize Jerusalem will be the focal point of the war of Gog Umagog. It is during that time, that Hashem will make His presence known and unbelievable miracles will take place. Let's take note....we're living the text of the Nevi'im.

What do you think?

I think it's almost time....Something major is going to happen within the next week or two. Surely before Nisan is over.

While, c"v things can get MUCH worse, the situation right now is hot enough. We have Alaska's Mt. Redoubt with major eruptions. North Korea just test-launched an Inter-Continental Ballistic Missile. Iran has "good news" for the first day of Pesach. Etc...

I don't know... but with Birkat HaChama approaching, and all the predictions for this year, I'm bracing for something. Most likely, all of what we think is going to happen will not. That's just how it usually is - there's always something to distract the world from the real issue - just like a magic trick.

Regarding Obama's nationality, there is still raging controversy. Over 20 states have filed lawsuits. This past week, a federal grand jury in Georgia decided that there was enough evidence to try Obama criminally in court. Why won't he just release his real birth certificate? Why are lawyers being threatened? Why are cases that are supposed to be on the Supreme Court docket disappearing? Maybe because GOG will hold on to his power through deceit, as mentioned by the Zohar.

I can't help wonder if this past Shabbat was the last Shabbat as we know it. I guess we'll see...

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!

Barack Obama - Armelius?

I've noticed Gematriot brought down regarding Obama...I just made a quick calculation and found that Barack Obama = Armelius (357). I have not yet seen this calculation brought down by anyone else.

Here's the spelling in Hebrew:
ברק אובאמה
ארמיליוס

I chose to use the spelling of Obama as was found in the Yechezkel 7-letter skip.

Armelius is the powerful force that will fight against Mashiach Ben Yosef. Obama's unbelievable rise to power is nothing short of a miracle. His immediate frenzy of crazy activity (some of which I've mentioned previously) points to a sinister underlying character. Who knows?

Hope, Change & Yes we Can

Did anyone else realize the parallels between Obama and ahmadinejad? Especially with the 2 phrases "Hope" and "Yes we can"?

Obama kept mentioning "hope" during his campaign. His slogan was also "Yes we can". I find it amazing that the satellite just launched by Iran was also called "hope" in farsi. The slogan used by ahmadinejad during his campaign in Iran was "we can". While the latter claims that Obama stole it from him, it has been reported that Obama used it in his 2004 Senate campaign. And Obama mentioned "change" - that surely seems to be happening - on MANY fronts.

The connections are quite interesting to note. A parallel between Obama and ahmadinejad. And again, if we think into them just a little, we can start to notice a pattern. A pattern of signs telling us that America is not going to be there for the Jews. A pattern that should scare a Jew that has his eyes open. A pattern that begs to answer the question, 'when will we get the hint'?

We have a history of not getting the hints. As humans, we also become accustomed to changes happening around us. As these subtle changes keep occuring, we rarely take a step back and realize where we really are and question 'how did we get here?'

The pattern of Obama leaning over and attempting to befriend the arab terrorists is emerging rapidly. In his inauguration speech, he mentioned "we are a nation of Christians and Muslims, Jews, Hindus and non-believers". This is in stark contrast to the norm of pairing Jews with, lehavdil Christians. Additionally, if one pays attention, the term "non-believer" is often used by Muslims in reference to Jews, Christians and all others, prompting one to ask: 'what influences are truly driving this man?'

The first interview he gave was with "Al Arabiya" tv. His first phone call to Mahmoud Abbas of the "moderate" Fatah, who's stated goal is to 'remove the Zionist entity from Palestine'. He is 'extending his hand' to Iran and Syria. He spent his first day in office signing an executive order to close the Guantanamo Bay prison, housing the most wanted jihadists in American captivity. He has pledged to meet with the OIC (Organization of Islamic Conference), a most anti-Semitic organization of Muslims within his first 100 days in office. His promise to speak with Hugo Chavez of Venezuelan [anti-Semitic and anti-American] infamy is stated to be upheld as well.

The direction of this new administration is shocking at best. The 'sweeping changes' that are occuring in only the first 2 weeks in office are something WE should be looking at. We learn from King Solomon that the first point mentioned in a person's claim [in court] is the one he most means. If we pay attention to the first speech made by Obama we can see his plans for America. If we look at his actions, we are even more assured of his direction for this country.

Nobody can predict what is going to happen or how, but the direction that America is headed is something that can clearly be interpreted. I cannot stress enough the importance of all Jews of America (and the world) to be prepared for major changes. We are slowly becoming accustomed to these changes, rendering us effectively numb to the big picture. The Geula is underway, and if we just sit by idly and do nothing about it, the ramifications are quite scary and dangerous.

We need to be proactive on as many fronts as possible. That means we need to repent and make Teshuva for our past sins; pray for our personal and collective future; give charity as much as possible; strengthen our learning Torah (even by just a few minutes a day); and basically storm the Heavens with good deeds. The suffering imposed on the world is only to wake US up. We don't need to wait until it's dangerously unbearable to wake up - we can wake up NOW. Let's do it before it's too late.
