Doomsday: It Isn’t Really Doomsday At All

It sounds very dramatic: “DOOMSDAY” (!) — and it seems to fit the description.

But…it isn’t really Doomsday at all. (Sorry to disappoint…)

When children go to the “Haunted House” at the amusement park, they get scared.  The parents are not scared. And in the end, nobody is touched, even not a hair on the head.

There is no “safe place” because every Jew is inherently safe.  The question is:

Is our trust in the Almighty G-d like that of a child, or like that of a parent?

Each one’s outlook will determine his or her view,

either

the (gasp) "Doomsday Experience"

or

the (ahhh) Coming of Mashiach Experience!

Whichever the case, every Jew will come out untouched, awakening to the light of the long-awaited redemption.

But the Holy One, blessed be He, is helping us to grow out of being children. The posts on this site are intended to be a contribution in that direction: knowing what to expect is a big part of the difference between the child and the parent (the other part–bigger and far more important–is knowing Who is really in control and trusting in His benevolence).

The seemingly physical walls of this world of exile and lies will fall, we must know that we are not falling with it.

Be happy–the “Doomsday” of the world of lies is the liberation of truth and the Holy Nation!

CHAZAK!

“Doomsday”: The Tremblings

The world will tremble.  It has already begun, and will increase. Those who say so are correct.

Earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, you name it.  One here, one there, another someplace else.  The pace will increase.  But casualties will not be enormous. Chesed Hashem–this is Geulah, after all!

Don’t waste your time on “earthquake watch”, the “volcano watch”:

This doesn’t bring Mashiach.  

Learn Torah, do good deeds–this brings Mashiach.

The pace of “tremblings” will increase until “the entire world will shake and all world will hide themselves in caves and clefts in the rocks, and they won’t think to be saved.” (Zohar Shemot 7a)

(There is a place on earth where these tremblings will not be felt, but there is no purpose to publicize it.)

Seeing Stars

Read the post of references to the Zohar here.

It describes a “Star War”: 1 star from the East warring against 7 stars.  The earth trembling and quaking, fire from beneath the ground.

As they say, “It’s all good”.

2012: Truth Behind Doomsday?

The people of the world lately celebrated “Happy New Year”.   It is now, as is written on the calendars, the year they refer to as 2012.  (Since Creation, it is already the year 5772, however.)

According to R’ Google, the year 2012 goes very well with the word “Doomsday”.

DOOMSDAY??!!!!

First of all, relax.

But everything is by Divine Providence Hasgacha Pratit and if the world is buzzing about the End, we have to look in Torah (and especially the Zohar, as we will see) to see if there is any message of truth here.

What does 2012 have to do with Mashiach?

What does “Doomsday” have to do with the final Redemption?

Stay tuned.

Mashiach: Each Our Own Lag B’omer

Lag B’omer is the celebration of the joy of Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai’s hilula.

It is like the resurrection of the dead.

When Mashiach comes (very soon) we will all have our own hilula, our own “wedding” with Hashem, our own resurrection of the dead.

Why the bonfire?

Rabbi Shimon reached the level of Mashiach.  The “skin of the snake” fell off, the “garments of skin”, and he received his “garments of Light” like Adam before the sin.  (Not physical light, of course.)  There is a “garment of Light” waiting for you and me, too.  Soon our “skin of the snake/garments of skin” will too fall off, replaced by our Divine “garment of Light”, and we will also have our own Lag B’omer to celebrate, along with our own bonfire!

Perhaps this explains the custom of the holy tzaddik the Ohr Hachayim: on Lag B’omer he would throw expensive garments into the burning bonfire. Shedding the skin of the snake and accepting the garments of Divine Light!

Binladen Gone From the World

This evil man is gone from the physical world.  This could only occur if he encountered defeat in the spiritual realms.  This is good.

We are in the days of Mashiach.  The world looks “natural” but many things are happening spiritually that were blocked from happening for thousands of years.

Seize these precious moments–for they give us the ability to reveal the Mashiach, whom we know and love.

5771 — What does it add?

5770, a new degree of completion.  5771, “plus one”.

More could have been accomplished and we would not need calendars for 5771.  But “no use crying over spilt milk”.

5770 refers to a level of completion of our tasks in this world.  It has a numerical value of “the house of Mashiach”.  The House which “houses” Mashiach.

5771 adds the letter ‘alef’ (=1), which implies the revelation of G-dliness.  5771 Mashiach comes to dwell in his house.

What are we waiting for??!!  If we were using our time properly, Mashiach would have been revealed to us quite some time ago.

We have to greet Mashiach!

Mashiach–Unchained

Mashiach is no longer bound and tied.  Mashiach has been unchained.  This is some time already.  This means “Mashiach already came”.

Sounds strange?  Where is he?  I don’t see him, probably you don’t either.

He is here.  He is simultaneously within you and within me.  He is here, he came.  We possess the power of the Redemption in its entirety.

What we lack is revelation.  We have to reveal Mashiach.

We have to reveal Mashiach but we don’t know how.  We have to open our eyes, but we didn’t figure out yet how to do it.

Begging Hashem to help us will certainly work–He cannot resist the sincere requests of His beloved only son Israel.

Time is moving quicky. We need to be prepared.  Big things coming, big things.

Mashiach is here, it is up to us to reveal him.  Now!

The Holy Temple: The Place For Sacrifices

The Holy Temple in Jerusalem was twice destroyed in these days.

Why do we miss this Temple?  Was it really so much more beautiful than some other ancient buildings made of rocks?

Because it was in this spot that the Priests the Kohanim would offer the “sacrifices”.

What was a sacrifice in the Holy Temple?  An animal was brought, slaughtered in the kosher manner as prescribed by the Torah, skinned and cleaned.  Some parts of the animal were given as gifts to the Priests, sometimes the Jew who brought the sacrifice would eat other parts.  Sound like the ancient version of Agriprocessors?

The main part of the Temple was the Altar where the sacrifices were burned.  This Altar was called “Ariel” because a heavenly fire in the form of a lion (Hebrew: Ari) would come down and consume the spiritual dimension of the animal that was being sacrificed.  What was left were the physical ashes of the physical skin.

This is the transformation of the physical to the spiritual.  The spiritual is concealed within, bound to the physical.  Through being burned on the Altar, the physical aspect was reduced to ash and the spiritual was able to ascend in the heavenly fire.

It was the greatest destiny of any animal for its material body to be consumed in fire on the Altar and its spiritual dimension to be free to ascend heavenward.

5770 days to 5770

This link was brought to my attention.

The passing of the Lubavitcher Rebbe took place on June 12, 1994.

5,770 days brings you to March 29, 2010, which is the first night of Passover in the year that is 5,770 years after Creation. The night when Jews the world over will be recounting the redemption from servitude, when the first redeemer took the Jewish people of Egypt.

Not a coincidence.  The first redeemer of the Jewish people (Moshe) is the final redeemer (Mashiach).  Just as Moshe disappeared for a while before taking the Jews out of Egypt, Mashiach disappears for a while before taking the Jews out of the final exile.

Maybe some big things will happen that night.

(BTW, you can “do the math” on the dates with your local Excel program.)
