Timeline
- 00:00:00 - 00:05:00
The discussion picks up from a previous conversation six months ago regarding the Russia-Ukraine conflict and its potential ties to religious prophecy, particularly in the context of the Jewish holiday Sukkot and biblical prophecies in the books of Zechariah and Ezekiel.
- 00:05:00 - 00:10:00
The speaker delves into biblical texts, specifically Ezekiel 38, discussing the apocalyptic war of Gog and Magog, interpreting these texts to relate to contemporary events like the Russia-Ukraine war and the role of Iran, suggesting a possible prophetic alignment with Russia as Magog.
- 00:10:00 - 00:15:00
A hypothesis is discussed surrounding the prophecy of the "Three Romes" wherein the fall of Moscow, as the third Rome, could signal the beginning of the Messianic age. The speaker suggests current events in Russia may indicate this prophecy's fulfillment.
- 00:15:00 - 00:20:00
The lecture examines the current status of the Russia-Ukraine war, highlighting Russia's setbacks and increased conflict scale, and discusses the implications of Ukraine potentially joining NATO, including the risk of inciting a broader global conflict involving nuclear threats.
- 00:20:00 - 00:25:00
Detailed biblical exegesis continues with references to various ancient texts that discuss the prophecy of Gog and Magog, with attempts to connect these to modern geopolitical events involving Russia, Iran, and other global tensions, speculating on deeper symbolic meanings and alignments.
- 00:25:00 - 00:30:00
The conversation transitions into the analysis of ancient prophecies regarding the end times, exploring the roles of different nations as described in scripture, and drawing parallels to contemporary geopolitical alliances and conflicts.
- 00:30:00 - 00:35:00
Further elaboration on historical and biblical backgrounds of nations involved in these prophecies, revealing complex interconnections, such as those between Russia and Iran (Persia) and their historical invasions and alliances, possibly tying back to prophetic visions.
- 00:35:00 - 00:40:00
The discussion covers Jewish religious history and prophecies, advocating how ancient texts might reflect current global tensions, focusing on historical alliances between Iran and Russia, and how these might be interwoven with religious predictions of future events.
- 00:40:00 - 00:45:00
Additional exploration of ancient prophecies highlights the parallel between past and present geopolitical alignments. The speakers link the resurgence of these relations and their significance within the framework of longstanding Jewish religious perspectives on world events.
- 00:45:00 - 00:50:00
Continuing from religious texts and prophecies, the analysis seeks to understand how these can be correlated with modern events, enhancing the narrative of apocalyptic scenarios presented in traditional Jewish beliefs, further intertwined with speculations on nuclear warfare.
- 00:50:00 - 00:55:00
The narrative extends to commentaries on biblical verses predicting apocalyptic scenarios and relates these to modern day phenomena such as the geopolitical tensions in Israel, potential involvement of global powers, and hypothesized natural disasters or significant events.
- 00:55:00 - 01:01:41
Concluding reflections include discussion on prophecy fulfillment and the role of human action in shaping these outcomes, invoking religious imperatives for peace, repentance, and reflection, and a hopeful outlook towards achieving global peace amidst prevailing tensions.

- 00:00:00we're going to continue what we
- 00:00:01discussed six months ago about the
- 00:00:03Russia Ukraine war
- 00:00:07e ties into the holiday
- 00:00:09so if you look on Sukkot what do we read
- 00:00:12what are the hafturas that we read on
- 00:00:14it's not going to come to celebrate yeah
- 00:00:17so well that's like that's the end of it
- 00:00:20but the first what we just read on the
- 00:00:22first day the after the first day was
- 00:00:25chapter 14 which talks about the final
- 00:00:28war at the end of days from one
- 00:00:31perspective and then
- 00:00:33well it does say something else to code
- 00:00:36which we'll get to doesn't say it's
- 00:00:38going to start on Zuko but it does end
- 00:00:39with Sukkot
- 00:00:41yeah and then on this Shabbat we're
- 00:00:44gonna read the after will be chapter 38
- 00:00:47which is the whole war of gogumbagogue
- 00:00:50that's where gogu Magog comes from the
- 00:00:52term that we've all heard this like
- 00:00:54apocalyptic war end of days War it comes
- 00:00:58from Ezekiel chapter 38.
- 00:01:01so we read on Sukkot the afterlot are
- 00:01:05somehow related to this final
- 00:01:06apocalyptic War
- 00:01:09and we have to explain why like what's
- 00:01:10the connection so one of the main theme
- 00:01:12this is one of the themes of Sukkot Goku
- 00:01:15Magog is tied to the holiday of Sukkot
- 00:01:17so what's the connection
- 00:01:19that's one thing that we have to answer
- 00:01:21and we also want to tie it in to again
- 00:01:24what's going on with Russia Ukraine
- 00:01:26because we spoke about it six months ago
- 00:01:28it's time for an update and to see
- 00:01:31what's happening and to go further
- 00:01:33because we at the very end last time we
- 00:01:36introduced the idea of perhaps could
- 00:01:39Russia be the Magog figure entity that
- 00:01:45was prophesied so we want to look into
- 00:01:46that in more depth and see if that's a
- 00:01:49possibility
- 00:01:51what's going on right now with Russia
- 00:01:52also with Iran because things are going
- 00:01:55wild in Iran and what does all this have
- 00:01:58to do with Goku Magog and Sukkot and so
- 00:02:02on so quick some recap and also what we
- 00:02:06suggested last time
- 00:02:09first of all like the main kind of
- 00:02:11thesis hypothesis was
- 00:02:13based on a prophecy in Sanhedrin which
- 00:02:18says that there will be three rooms but
- 00:02:20not a fourth Rome that Rome will fall
- 00:02:22three times but there will not be a
- 00:02:24fourth Rome meaning the Messianic age
- 00:02:26will begin before there could be a third
- 00:02:29a fourth Rome so the first Rome was Rome
- 00:02:32itself the original Roman Empire Rome in
- 00:02:35Italy and then once that fell the second
- 00:02:37Rome was Constantinople which is today
- 00:02:40Istanbul in turkey and then once that
- 00:02:43fell The Third Rome was said to be
- 00:02:45Moscow
- 00:02:47and the prophecy is that when the third
- 00:02:51after the Third Rome Falls there will
- 00:02:53not be a fourth roam the Messianic age
- 00:02:55will begin before that so we talked
- 00:02:57about that last time and so the idea is
- 00:03:00is this war what we said six months ago
- 00:03:02when it was just beginning we didn't
- 00:03:04know where we're gonna go but the
- 00:03:06hypothesis was will this war lead to the
- 00:03:08fall of Russia and the unraveling of
- 00:03:11Russia and is that the fall of the Third
- 00:03:13Rome that is a sign of the Messianic age
- 00:03:17so now six months later it seems like
- 00:03:19that's very much happening because
- 00:03:22Russia is really not doing well what
- 00:03:24started out as a small what they call
- 00:03:26the small special military operation is
- 00:03:29now a full-scale war and Russia has now
- 00:03:32had to call up 300 000 reservists and
- 00:03:36basically bring back the draft and
- 00:03:39that's not a good sign and now many
- 00:03:42Russians are fleeing Russia many young
- 00:03:44people that have no will to fight and
- 00:03:46the narrative is starting to change
- 00:03:48Russians that were kind of afraid to
- 00:03:50speak out are now speaking out and
- 00:03:52running away and so things are not going
- 00:03:54so well for Russia the other thing we
- 00:03:58talked about last time is Ukraine
- 00:04:01joining NATO which would be potentially
- 00:04:03catastrophic because it would inevitably
- 00:04:05sooner or later lead to World War III
- 00:04:07because of all the disputed territories
- 00:04:09and sooner or later that's like a powder
- 00:04:11keg waiting to go boom and sooner or
- 00:04:13later somebody will do something and
- 00:04:15that'll NATO will have to get involved
- 00:04:17and that'll be for sure a global war and
- 00:04:20recently Ukraine actually applied for an
- 00:04:23Express membership to Nato which again
- 00:04:26could be very I mean the reality is is
- 00:04:28that it's already a global war this is
- 00:04:31already a global war it's not Ukraine
- 00:04:32against Russia it's Ukraine with all the
- 00:04:34West behind Ukraine if the West was not
- 00:04:37supporting Ukraine it would have been
- 00:04:38over a long time ago it's the Western
- 00:04:40Firepower and Military Intelligence and
- 00:04:43support and everything uh yeah and then
- 00:04:45there's there's been a threat now of
- 00:04:47nuclear war and we'll see how that might
- 00:04:49tie into a prophecy in Tanakh because
- 00:04:53we already read it says something that
- 00:04:55people something is referring to
- 00:04:58something nuclear so we'll get to that
- 00:05:00in a moment we we really want to explore
- 00:05:03those two texts zahria Zechariah 14
- 00:05:06Ezekiel 38 and also we want to look at a
- 00:05:10section from the Czar parashad balak
- 00:05:13which also talks about the end of days
- 00:05:15and the sequence of the the sequence of
- 00:05:17events at the end of days all three of
- 00:05:18these are really talking about the same
- 00:05:20thing
- 00:05:23are actually talking about from three
- 00:05:25different perspectives but it's the same
- 00:05:27thing so we're going to explore those
- 00:05:28three texts
- 00:05:29we'll start with yeah 38 because that's
- 00:05:34where that's where the um
- 00:05:37the term GoGo Magog actually comes from
- 00:05:39so we'll start
- 00:05:41that's what we're going to look at yeah
- 00:05:43that's what we want to start with so
- 00:05:44Ezekiel 38 which directly follows the
- 00:05:49famous prophecy or vision of the dry
- 00:05:51bones
- 00:05:52right after that was chapter 37 where
- 00:05:55God shows Ezekiel a bunch of skeletons
- 00:05:57these dry bones and he says will they
- 00:05:59live again and Ezekiel says how would I
- 00:06:01know you you know and then God brings
- 00:06:04them back to life and resurrects the
- 00:06:06dead that's one of the key sources for
- 00:06:08the resurrection of the Dead
- 00:06:09and we'll come back to that so the
- 00:06:11prophecy right after the next chapter
- 00:06:13begins like this
- 00:06:16so the word of God Came Upon Ezekiel
- 00:06:20and he said Ben Adam so we mentioned
- 00:06:24before that God often refers to the
- 00:06:25prophets as Benedum like human or son of
- 00:06:28man or literally human
- 00:06:31so turn your face to GOG this individual
- 00:06:36gogog
- 00:06:38apparently from the land of Magog so
- 00:06:41there's a figure named GOG
- 00:06:43and again there's a code word so we also
- 00:06:45have to think about what is Google it's
- 00:06:47not like literally the spirit we
- 00:06:48shouldn't expect the person named Gog to
- 00:06:50appear in history that would be too
- 00:06:52obvious uh why Gog what is this code
- 00:06:54word what are the meanings behind it
- 00:06:56since we're already here is if you look
- 00:06:58at Google
- 00:07:01it's very similar to another name
- 00:07:05who's who's it similar to
- 00:07:07David right David
- 00:07:11so the Messianic figure is David
- 00:07:15David is the the windmill of Islam that
- 00:07:19mashiach is King David essentially the
- 00:07:21return of King David so the adversary of
- 00:07:23Gog is David and there's uh you can
- 00:07:26think about the connection there David
- 00:07:28what do these names mean one over the
- 00:07:31other so Gog leads to David one leads to
- 00:07:34the other okay so Ben Adams
- 00:07:39so this Gog person is the Nasi the
- 00:07:43president
- 00:07:44and then it says
- 00:07:45so now the word rosh here is what does
- 00:07:49that mean does it mean does that mean
- 00:07:51he's like the head president because
- 00:07:52rosh also means the head
- 00:07:54so does that mean that he's the top
- 00:07:56president or does that mean he's the
- 00:07:57president in the sea of a place called
- 00:07:59Roche and meshe antuva
- 00:08:02not clear and that's where some people
- 00:08:04which I I personally don't like it but
- 00:08:07based on the alliteration of Rosh
- 00:08:09meshech supposedly being like Russia
- 00:08:12Moscow I personally don't like it I
- 00:08:14think maybe it's coincidental I don't
- 00:08:16know but nothing's coincidental maybe
- 00:08:17there's a connection there but
- 00:08:20Gog is the president of but he's from
- 00:08:24Magog apparently so there's some connect
- 00:08:26there's like potentially four different
- 00:08:28lands mentioned here
- 00:08:29they never love so prophesy to Gog
- 00:08:34that's what God is telling Ezekiel to do
- 00:08:37now who is Magog that's the question
- 00:08:41what is this we have like potentially
- 00:08:43four different lands mentioned here
- 00:08:45what are these places
- 00:08:48what are these places
- 00:08:55good that's what we're going to get to
- 00:08:56so these places are mentioned in
- 00:09:00in Genesis in the table of Nations
- 00:09:03chapter 10 over there before the the
- 00:09:07Tower of Babel story so it talks about
- 00:09:10the 70 root nations of the world right
- 00:09:13our tradition is that all the peoples of
- 00:09:15the world come from 70 root Nations so
- 00:09:17even though today we have over 200
- 00:09:18different countries all these countries
- 00:09:21actually stem from 70 roots
- 00:09:24and each of these places has a Heavenly
- 00:09:26Prince they're called Heavenly Prince of
- 00:09:28their Angels God appointed an angel over
- 00:09:31each of these 70 Nations that's
- 00:09:32something that you see throughout its
- 00:09:35reference
- 00:09:36everywhere and the Jewish people are not
- 00:09:40one of those 70 we are distinct from the
- 00:09:4270. there's we are described as like a
- 00:09:44sheep among 70 wolves uh but we are one
- 00:09:48and under 70 others and they all have a
- 00:09:51prince appointed over each one an angel
- 00:09:53overseeing each one and we do not
- 00:09:56meaning because our Angel is Hashem
- 00:09:58directly Israel is as we said before
- 00:10:00before
- 00:10:02that God himself watches over Israel
- 00:10:05although having said that we also speak
- 00:10:08of Michael the angel Mikhail being our
- 00:10:11kind of guardian angel of the Jewish
- 00:10:13people
- 00:10:17now once explains who these people are
- 00:10:22it it follows a discussion of why it is
- 00:10:25that kovesh Cyrus had the Merit to build
- 00:10:29the tattoo
- 00:10:30allow the Jews to rebuild the Temple
- 00:10:32remember the Babylonians destroyed the
- 00:10:34first temple for 70 years Israel was
- 00:10:36exiled the Babylonian exile we were
- 00:10:38stuck there then Cyrus the King of
- 00:10:40Persia took over destroyed Babylon now
- 00:10:43Persia became the new Top Dog on on the
- 00:10:46map and Cyrus actually allowed the Jews
- 00:10:48to come back and rebuild their Temple so
- 00:10:51the talmud actually says what is their
- 00:10:52suit like where did how did that happen
- 00:10:55and it says that really Cyrus and the
- 00:10:57Persians come from not who we would
- 00:10:59think from Shem but they come from yefed
- 00:11:02remember we have Noah had three sons
- 00:11:06and traditionally we say Shem is the
- 00:11:09father of all the Asian Nations or at
- 00:11:11least the Middle Eastern Nations ham is
- 00:11:13the father of Africa which literally
- 00:11:16means
- 00:11:18was the father of the European nations
- 00:11:20so we generally split the old world has
- 00:11:22like three continental chunks Europe
- 00:11:25Asia Africa corresponding to so Shem is
- 00:11:29like the Asians come as like African
- 00:11:31peoples and yes it is European peoples
- 00:11:34with some exceptions it's not exactly
- 00:11:36like that because hum for example Kanan
- 00:11:40comes from the Canaanites the Canaanites
- 00:11:43lived in Israel which is not in Africa
- 00:11:44but
- 00:11:46the father of Canaan so there are some
- 00:11:48exceptions to this but generally
- 00:11:50speaking yes it is Europe hum is Africa
- 00:11:53Hashem is Asia so we would expect the
- 00:11:55Persians to be like us from Shem Semite
- 00:11:59Semite comes from Shem
- 00:12:01the term anti-Semitism Semite it comes
- 00:12:04from Shem but they are not the talmud is
- 00:12:07saying no no no no the Persians are not
- 00:12:09semites they're not from Shem who are
- 00:12:11they from they're from yephet okay and
- 00:12:13that's what the talmud says the Persians
- 00:12:17how do we know that they come from yes
- 00:12:20because it says over there
- 00:12:24the children of yaphet were Gomer that
- 00:12:28was the first one
- 00:12:29umagogue Magog was the son of yaphet so
- 00:12:32that implies Magog is a European people
- 00:12:36um
- 00:12:41those were the sons of yefed so these
- 00:12:44are all the European peoples these are
- 00:12:46all the forefathers of all the European
- 00:12:48nations so remember these terms
- 00:12:50Ezekiel speaking to these to this to
- 00:12:53these European peoples and then the
- 00:12:55talmud goes into each one Gomer who is
- 00:12:57Gomer says
- 00:13:00Germania some people see in that a clear
- 00:13:02allusion to Germany could be something
- 00:13:04else there are different opinions of
- 00:13:06what that is but definitely sounds like
- 00:13:08Gomer sounds like Germany
- 00:13:10Magog it says
- 00:13:13don't worry it's not Canada there are
- 00:13:16different there are also different
- 00:13:18um
- 00:13:24so we're not sure what that is we don't
- 00:13:27know what that is but Magog that's a
- 00:13:29place we mentioned last time though that
- 00:13:31Josephus who's the earliest commentator
- 00:13:34that we have that tries to identify what
- 00:13:36Magog is Josephus 2000 years ago said
- 00:13:39that magogi scithia and scythia is today
- 00:13:42Southern Russia Crimea that whole region
- 00:13:44of Crimea Ukraine Southern Russia is
- 00:13:47scithia so Joseph is already two
- 00:13:49thousand years ago said that that's
- 00:13:50Magog said I'm just curious to know what
- 00:13:52was that based on 2000 years and I'm not
- 00:13:54familiar with the history in that area
- 00:13:56at the time Josephus would have known
- 00:13:57the his geography he lived in Israel and
- 00:14:00then and finished his life in Rome and
- 00:14:02so if he's saying that magogi scithia
- 00:14:04then that's probably that's about as
- 00:14:06good a source as we have because he's uh
- 00:14:08huh closer to the source yeah because
- 00:14:11he's saying two thousand years ago this
- 00:14:13is the real this is Magog this area is
- 00:14:15Magog so he's probably he's probably as
- 00:14:18best as we have a source to identify
- 00:14:20Magog the most ancient certain probably
- 00:14:22the most accurate so he says that it's
- 00:14:24scythia which is today crime Crimea in
- 00:14:26Ukraine Southern Ukraine Russia
- 00:14:29oh we all know that Yvonne is Greece and
- 00:14:32then it gives other names what tuval is
- 00:14:34and meshech we don't know what these
- 00:14:36names really don't mean anything to us
- 00:14:37and then it says tiras the last one who
- 00:14:40is tiras and the rabbis have a debate
- 00:14:42who Tigris is but the conclusion is
- 00:14:48and so Paras is also like Magog like
- 00:14:52meshech like tuval actually a European
- 00:14:55people
- 00:14:56and that's really amazing because if you
- 00:14:59look at Persia itself the name of we
- 00:15:02don't call it Persia today we call it
- 00:15:04Iran and why is it called Iran That
- 00:15:06official name change happened only less
- 00:15:09than 100 years ago I mean they Iran
- 00:15:11always really refer to themselves as
- 00:15:13Iran they never refer to themselves as
- 00:15:15Persians the rest of the world always
- 00:15:17refer to them as Persians their name is
- 00:15:20Iran why Iran it comes from the same
- 00:15:23root as Aryan like Aryan race like the
- 00:15:26Nazis the Aryan race not that they are
- 00:15:27Nazis just that the root is the same
- 00:15:30because it comes from their the name of
- 00:15:32the original Indo-European people the
- 00:15:35original European ancestors are the
- 00:15:38forefathers of both the Europeans and
- 00:15:40also of the Iranians
- 00:15:44exactly that's that's why they're called
- 00:15:46Indo-European
- 00:15:49so presumably they came from the
- 00:15:51Caucasus Mountains which is also very
- 00:15:54close to Crimea that's why we recall a
- 00:15:56white person a Caucasian because they
- 00:15:58came from the Caucasus so this Aryan
- 00:16:00race
- 00:16:01would have come from the original white
- 00:16:03people supposedly came from the Caucasus
- 00:16:05Mountains and spread
- 00:16:07um West to Europe East to India and so
- 00:16:10then you had like this Indo-European
- 00:16:12peoples and and there's a kind of
- 00:16:14Indo-European family of languages that
- 00:16:16they all fit under
- 00:16:18so Persia is Iran which shares a route
- 00:16:20with Aryan and so it's interesting that
- 00:16:23historically one Aryan threat was
- 00:16:26neutralized in World War II and not long
- 00:16:28after another Aryan threat arose because
- 00:16:32today's greatest existential threat to
- 00:16:35the Jewish people into Israel is Iran
- 00:16:37it's that simple so that's interesting
- 00:16:39how that that connection that the Aryans
- 00:16:42then and the Aryans here which are
- 00:16:43really not related but they perhaps
- 00:16:46spiritually related
- 00:16:48so what we see from here though is that
- 00:16:51Persia and Magog which is definitely
- 00:16:53some European entity scythia looks like
- 00:16:56perhaps Russia are actually related
- 00:16:59and what's amazing iskel when you
- 00:17:01continue reading he says who is the
- 00:17:04first Ally of Magog in this war the
- 00:17:08first person that he names is taras so
- 00:17:11he says the Allies he continues
- 00:17:16God is against this person and then he
- 00:17:19lists what what God is going to do and
- 00:17:20then he lists the allies of Magog and
- 00:17:23they're the Allies are Paras is the
- 00:17:25first one Persia Kush
- 00:17:27Kush is the Kusha it says Africa food is
- 00:17:31also thought to be in Africa these are
- 00:17:33the main allies of Magog
- 00:17:37and Perez is first among them
- 00:17:39so when we look at what's happening
- 00:17:40right now
- 00:17:41in geopolitically we mentioned that just
- 00:17:46in the last week
- 00:17:47Russia Putin specifically I don't want
- 00:17:51to say all of Russia I should say Putin
- 00:17:53specifically started bombing like
- 00:17:55civilian targets and all that and he's
- 00:17:57been using Iranian missiles
- 00:17:59so you and Iranian drones and the
- 00:18:02Russians are in Iranians are cooperating
- 00:18:04very closely and always have and in
- 00:18:06Syria they cooperate very closely so
- 00:18:09Russia and Iran are are great friends
- 00:18:11and there's a reason for that
- 00:18:14actually Russia has
- 00:18:18their own NATO
- 00:18:21their own NATO no we have nato in the
- 00:18:24west Russia has a NATO also I mean it
- 00:18:27used to be the Warsaw Pact they're in
- 00:18:29the during the Cold War but that's
- 00:18:31obviously over but since then Russia
- 00:18:33came up with this new thing thrash has
- 00:18:35answered to Nato is called the csto
- 00:18:38it's the collective security Treaty
- 00:18:40Organization so it actually has a mutual
- 00:18:42protection pact there's six states
- 00:18:45Armenia Belarus Kazakhstan Kyrgyzstan
- 00:18:48Tajikistan and Russia so they have a
- 00:18:51mutual protection pact and what's
- 00:18:53amazing is fun fact the only country out
- 00:18:56those are all former Soviet States but
- 00:18:58the only country outside the former
- 00:19:00Soviet Union that was invited to join is
- 00:19:03Iran
- 00:19:04Iran was invited to Russia invited Iran
- 00:19:07to join Iran didn't fully join they're
- 00:19:09not a full member they're an associate
- 00:19:11member but they're basically
- 00:19:13together so Russia and Iran have a very
- 00:19:16tight-knit Alliance even a military
- 00:19:17alliance between them
- 00:19:20now if you remember there's another
- 00:19:22prophecy I'm sure you've heard it before
- 00:19:24it's pretty common
- 00:19:25if you remember in the Rashid it says
- 00:19:28that Asaf married some Canaanite women
- 00:19:31and his parents it's of course didn't
- 00:19:35like that
- 00:19:36and when he saw that his parents didn't
- 00:19:39like his choice of marriage he went and
- 00:19:41he married a daughter of Ishmael
- 00:19:45why because Ishmael is from like kind of
- 00:19:48like their family right from the family
- 00:19:49of Abraham
- 00:19:51and over there you've probably heard or
- 00:19:53say just say that just like ASAP went to
- 00:19:56Ishmael and married into the ishmaelite
- 00:19:58family so too in the end of days the
- 00:20:00world of Asaf the world of adom and the
- 00:20:03world of Ishmael the Arab world the
- 00:20:05Muslim world will Unite
- 00:20:07against Israel against you know its hug
- 00:20:09and and cause a a global conflict uh
- 00:20:13final the final war
- 00:20:15and the villagan actually we're going to
- 00:20:17mention him several times the vilnagaon
- 00:20:20summarizes this unexplained spiritually
- 00:20:22why that is very interesting to just
- 00:20:25point that out as an aside he wrote a
- 00:20:27commentary on one section of the Czar
- 00:20:29called sifradit snyuta and in his
- 00:20:32commentary on that section he said
- 00:20:34Ishmael says first he says
- 00:20:39that they are A7 Ishmael are represented
- 00:20:42by the bull and the donkey
- 00:20:45asav as it says in the pasok show
- 00:20:48parimabirim asab is compared to a strong
- 00:20:51bull
- 00:21:04like a wild donkey so Ishmael is is
- 00:21:08symbolized by a donkey a sub is
- 00:21:10symbolized by a bull and we'll see a lot
- 00:21:12of other animal associations as we
- 00:21:15continue
- 00:21:17and then who are they really spiritually
- 00:21:20the henkind the Heather
- 00:21:22they are Cain and able
- 00:21:24their spiritual root is in Cain and Abel
- 00:21:27the Shalom is a
- 00:21:30lot
- 00:21:32that's why the Torah one of the Mitzvahs
- 00:21:34of the Torah is that you're not allowed
- 00:21:36to yoke a donkey and a bull together
- 00:21:38you're not allowed to if you're working
- 00:21:40a farm you can't combine two different
- 00:21:44species together put a yoke on them to
- 00:21:46plow or to whatever you need to do to
- 00:21:48pull a carriage you're not allowed to
- 00:21:50mix two species on the shut reason is
- 00:21:53because it's not fair to the animals
- 00:21:54it's like animal torture one is stronger
- 00:21:56than the other it's not going to be it's
- 00:21:58not gonna work out well you gotta use
- 00:21:59the same animal that's the simple reason
- 00:22:02the kabbalistic reason the villagon says
- 00:22:04is you're not allowed to have as the
- 00:22:06Tauruses to yoke together a bull and a
- 00:22:08donkey because they're actually
- 00:22:09represent two very different forces and
- 00:22:12combined they are very destructive
- 00:22:18this is also the secret of shatness that
- 00:22:22you know we're not allowed to wear a
- 00:22:23garment that has both wool and linen
- 00:22:30that's the deeper again the kabbalistic
- 00:22:32reason of why can't we wear
- 00:22:35so this is one reason do we ultimately
- 00:22:37know God's reasons no but this is a meme
- 00:22:40some some explanations for the mitzvot
- 00:22:42on a kabbalistic reason
- 00:22:44we're not allowed to wear a garment
- 00:22:46where the linen and wool threads are
- 00:22:48intertwined into one thing that's not a
- 00:22:50kosher garment The Secret of that is
- 00:22:53because if you're a member in the Garden
- 00:22:54of Eden or outside the Garden of Eden
- 00:22:57after that story Cain and Abel Cain
- 00:22:59brought an offering of
- 00:23:02it says some kind of uh plant offering
- 00:23:06and Abel brought an offering of sheep
- 00:23:09meaning our sages say Cain brought linen
- 00:23:12which grows from flax and Abel brought
- 00:23:16wool from his sheep and so that led to
- 00:23:19Cain killing Abel
- 00:23:22and so since then we do not combine on a
- 00:23:25spiritual reason these two Fabrics do
- 00:23:29not go together
- 00:23:30mystically spiritually they are not a
- 00:23:33good connection so you can't wear wool
- 00:23:35and linen together this is one of the
- 00:23:37reasons because they represent two
- 00:23:38opposing forces
- 00:23:41and putting them together has a
- 00:23:42destructive quality
- 00:23:45ASAP wanted to combine to marry into the
- 00:23:48family of Ishmael
- 00:23:51and that's how he would kill yaakov
- 00:23:54that's how he would get back at Yakov
- 00:23:56because you know he was after yaakov he
- 00:23:59kept getting thwarted he said if I marry
- 00:24:01into Ishmael then spiritually we'll have
- 00:24:03the right mix that we'll be able to
- 00:24:04defeat we'll be able to take on yaakov
- 00:24:13and that's why he went and he married
- 00:24:15the daughter of Ishmael
- 00:24:17that's the spiritual use so we have this
- 00:24:19prophecy that Ishmael and Adam will
- 00:24:22unite to cause a global war at the end
- 00:24:24of days a dome is
- 00:24:27Adam Europe is a dome and Mod The Third
- 00:24:30Rome Moscow The Third Rome is always
- 00:24:32considered the capital of Edom which we
- 00:24:35talked about last time the red At Doe
- 00:24:37means red the red Empire
- 00:24:40is the Muslims right so Ishmael is the
- 00:24:43the Muslim world so you have that in
- 00:24:45Iran and in Russia's Alliance could very
- 00:24:48well be a fulfillment of this prophecy
- 00:24:51of Asaf and Ishmael coming together at
- 00:24:54the end of days to destroy the world
- 00:24:56make sense
- 00:24:58okay good now forward fast forward a
- 00:25:01little bit in the same
- 00:25:03in the town with page 77.
- 00:25:07we talked about the men of the angels of
- 00:25:09the Nations the ministering the prince
- 00:25:11the Heavenly princes so to speak of the
- 00:25:1370 Nations
- 00:25:14what is the name the talmud identifies
- 00:25:17the name of the angel of Paras
- 00:25:20what is the name of the remember Angel
- 00:25:22names usually always end with
- 00:25:27so who is the angel of Paras of Persia
- 00:25:33and the name of this Angel is might
- 00:25:37sound funny dubiel
- 00:25:39Adobe you know what a doobie is a doobie
- 00:25:42is a teddy bear uh but Dove is a bear
- 00:25:45the the Heavenly Prince of the Persians
- 00:25:49is called dubiel like God's bear the
- 00:25:51bear what is that why a bear what is the
- 00:25:54connection across Jewish texts
- 00:25:57the Persians are always compared to
- 00:25:59bears
- 00:26:01it actually even it's from the Tanakh
- 00:26:03it's from Daniel
- 00:26:05I know what you're going to say and
- 00:26:07that's true it's because Persians are
- 00:26:09also tend to be hairy
- 00:26:10but that's yeah no that's that's a
- 00:26:13legitimate that's the thing there yeah
- 00:26:15and but it comes from Daniel
- 00:26:18it comes from Daniel chapter 7 of his
- 00:26:20famous vision of the beasts he remember
- 00:26:23he sees four great terrifying terrible
- 00:26:26beasts and they correspond to the four
- 00:26:28Great Empires that oppress Israel the
- 00:26:30first was Babylon first he saw a
- 00:26:32lion-like monster and that was Babylon
- 00:26:35and the second one was a bear-like
- 00:26:38monster he says he sees something like a
- 00:26:40bear and that's Persia and then he sees
- 00:26:42a leopard which is Greece and then the
- 00:26:45last monster was the most terrible of
- 00:26:47them all is Rome
- 00:26:49so from Daniel itself the Beast that
- 00:26:53represents Persia is the bear
- 00:26:56and so the Heavenly Prince are sages say
- 00:26:58of the Persians is called dubiel
- 00:27:01whether that's his actual name or not is
- 00:27:04a separate question because
- 00:27:06we also have a tradition that we don't
- 00:27:08actually know the names of the Angels
- 00:27:10these are not their real names these are
- 00:27:12names that we have for them but they
- 00:27:15actually these are our kind of monikers
- 00:27:17nicknames for these angels they do have
- 00:27:19other they're real names or something
- 00:27:21else so this is just how we describe
- 00:27:23them okay so dubiel is the prince of
- 00:27:27Iran
- 00:27:29why is that important because the Phil
- 00:27:32nagone said something incredible the
- 00:27:34Vilma going lived in the 1700s
- 00:27:38he pointed out something
- 00:27:40the we consider Iran to be symbolized by
- 00:27:43a bear but the whole world recognizes
- 00:27:45the bear as the symbol of Russia of
- 00:27:49Russia Russia itself has always seen
- 00:27:51itself as a bear that was their symbol
- 00:27:55for the 1980 Olympics even
- 00:27:58Russia Putin's political party their
- 00:28:00symbol is a bear
- 00:28:02uh so the bear has always been going
- 00:28:04back hundreds of years to the very
- 00:28:06beginnings of Russia they've always been
- 00:28:08symbolized by the Great Big Bear
- 00:28:11and the will not go on
- 00:28:13touched on that connection what's the
- 00:28:15connection between why is Russia this
- 00:28:17Great Bear why is it always depicted as
- 00:28:19a bear The Villa going in the 1700s said
- 00:28:22that
- 00:28:31he's saying that the angel overseeing
- 00:28:34Russia is dubious it's the same Angel as
- 00:28:37Iran and that's the bear connection
- 00:28:41and he said that actually prophetically
- 00:28:44because he lived in the 1700s
- 00:28:47and he
- 00:28:48essentially suggested that Iran and and
- 00:28:51Russia will unite at some point
- 00:28:54and not just politically but we're going
- 00:28:57to see like literally
- 00:28:59because what ended up happening shortly
- 00:29:00after the villagon passed away
- 00:29:03the villagon passed away in 1797.
- 00:29:07seven years later in 1804 was the first
- 00:29:09Russo Persian War
- 00:29:13the Russian Empire was expanding
- 00:29:17and they start expanding South into Iran
- 00:29:21it was an easy target
- 00:29:22Iran had a new at the time a new Dynasty
- 00:29:25the kajar dynasty
- 00:29:28and the kajar dynasty was pretty
- 00:29:30religious Shiite pretty fanatical
- 00:29:33the grand vizier of Iran at the time was
- 00:29:36actually a Jew
- 00:29:37named Ibrahim shirazi
- 00:29:42he actually helped bring the kajars to
- 00:29:44power
- 00:29:45and then they turned on him and executed
- 00:29:47him in 1801.
- 00:29:49now he outwardly was a Muslim because
- 00:29:52there was again this was a very
- 00:29:53fanatical Muslim you know group they
- 00:29:57would not have a Jew in government
- 00:29:59and they I mean it was an Open Secret
- 00:30:01that he was a Jew
- 00:30:03his grandfather had Under Pressure
- 00:30:06nominally converted to Islam but they
- 00:30:09still lived as Jews in fact back then in
- 00:30:12the Persian Iranian government if you
- 00:30:14were a government official or a person
- 00:30:16of influence you had to you were
- 00:30:18expected to have multiple wives if you
- 00:30:20only had one wife it was like weird or
- 00:30:22you know maybe it seemed like you were
- 00:30:24weak or
- 00:30:25and and uh Ibrahim shirazi had one wife
- 00:30:28a Jewish wife she was Jewish like Mama's
- 00:30:31Jewish not Muslim and among and many
- 00:30:34other things so it's kind of like an
- 00:30:35Open Secret that he's really a Jew and
- 00:30:37to hide to help hide his Judaism he
- 00:30:40specifically went on a Hajj to Mecca
- 00:30:44and when he came back he made sure that
- 00:30:46everybody would always call him Ibrahim
- 00:30:48and is like it's a nickname
- 00:30:52for somebody who had been to the Holy
- 00:30:54Land so he made sure that everybody
- 00:30:55called him that so people would think
- 00:30:57that he's like a really genuine Muslim
- 00:30:59in any case he lasted until 1801 and
- 00:31:03then they got rid of the the Jew but he
- 00:31:05was the grand vizier a very important
- 00:31:06figure in Iranian history I've seen some
- 00:31:09Iranian Scholars call him the greatest
- 00:31:10Diplomat or the greatest Statesman in
- 00:31:12Persian history actually and he was a
- 00:31:14Jew named Ibrahim shirazi and in 1801 he
- 00:31:18was executed in 1804 Russia invaded
- 00:31:21Persia
- 00:31:22they fought one war they started
- 00:31:24conquering all those territories in the
- 00:31:26north Azerbaijan Armenia Etc Georgia
- 00:31:30they conquered out of from Iran and then
- 00:31:34they invaded again in 1826 took over
- 00:31:36more and more slowly slowly Russia took
- 00:31:39over more and more of Iran by 1907
- 00:31:42Russia and England actually made a
- 00:31:44treaty to split Iran completely between
- 00:31:47them
- 00:31:48so Iran was effectively a vassal
- 00:31:52mostly of Russia the Shah actually his
- 00:31:56whole security force was Russian
- 00:31:58Cossacks the Russians had a kosak unit
- 00:32:00called the Persian cosex and so the per
- 00:32:02the the code the Russian officers ran
- 00:32:04the whole country the whole empire and
- 00:32:06ran the security of the Shah so when the
- 00:32:09film had gone said that dubiel is Russia
- 00:32:12and Iran he foresaw quite literally that
- 00:32:15they would become one entity
- 00:32:17amazingly
- 00:32:20so that's to be in I have a personal
- 00:32:22connection here we have a personal
- 00:32:23connection to this because our family
- 00:32:26tree the Palvin family tree goes back
- 00:32:29seven generations to the late 1700s and
- 00:32:33the first person on our family tree was
- 00:32:35his name pinhas
- 00:32:37and he lived in Isfahan in Iran which is
- 00:32:40where Ibrahim shirazi lived at one point
- 00:32:43at the same time
- 00:32:45and the pinhas his nickname in Farsi was
- 00:32:49palivan palivan means the great one or
- 00:32:52whatever The Brave One Huggy bow
- 00:32:54something like that that he was he was
- 00:32:56we don't know why that was his nickname
- 00:32:58but we know that was his nickname he was
- 00:32:59I guess a man of influence and power and
- 00:33:02so I like to think that him and Ibrahim
- 00:33:05shirazi were friends but I don't know
- 00:33:06they they definitely would have
- 00:33:08overlapped and lived in islahan together
- 00:33:10at some point because remember he he was
- 00:33:13executed in 1801 shirazi and we know
- 00:33:16that pinhas who was called paliban that
- 00:33:19was his nickname in farzi moved he fled
- 00:33:22Iran in the early 1800s to Bukhara and a
- 00:33:26lot of Iranian Jews Persian Jews were
- 00:33:28fleeing because the kajars again were
- 00:33:31very fanatic and were forcing Jews to
- 00:33:34convert to Islam and a lot of
- 00:33:36persecutions against the Jews so many
- 00:33:38fled to buhar which is one of the like
- 00:33:40the bukharian community was always very
- 00:33:42close the baharian Jewish Community
- 00:33:43which is today distinct from the Persian
- 00:33:45Jewish Community really they're very
- 00:33:47close have a lot of similarities even
- 00:33:49the language and so on and many other
- 00:33:50things
- 00:33:51so there's a personal connection there
- 00:33:53for what ended up happening is the
- 00:33:55Russians also took over buhar bukhar was
- 00:33:58an independent khanate but in 1866
- 00:34:00Russia also took over they were
- 00:34:02expanding into that whole territory into
- 00:34:04Central Asia in 1866 they took over
- 00:34:07buhar in 1868 buhar became officially a
- 00:34:10part of the Russian Empire and so pal
- 00:34:13Ivan the nickname became the Russian
- 00:34:15last name palvanov so that's where the
- 00:34:18Palvin of last name actually came from
- 00:34:20it was a russification of a Farsi
- 00:34:23nickname of our ancestor going back
- 00:34:27seven generations who was from Iran
- 00:34:30which was really interesting funny Side
- 00:34:33Story a few years ago I went to the
- 00:34:35mechanic here on Young Street you know
- 00:34:36young streets well it's the lots of
- 00:34:39Persians live on young streets so I go
- 00:34:41to the mechanic I come out of the car
- 00:34:43and the guy greets me says oh you're my
- 00:34:46brother with like a farzi axi accent uh
- 00:34:49he tells me you're my brother and I said
- 00:34:50yeah and he says he gives me his
- 00:34:52business card and his last name is
- 00:34:54palivan and he looks at my last name and
- 00:34:57he says I know you're probably from
- 00:34:58Russia but I I know we have a tradition
- 00:35:01that our ancestors left and went to
- 00:35:04Russia and we have like distant Persian
- 00:35:06Russian ancestors somewhere in Russia
- 00:35:08and finally I get to meet you like all
- 00:35:10these Generations like he told me I
- 00:35:12didn't even like as soon as I came out
- 00:35:14of the car he came to tell me this so it
- 00:35:15was amazing so I imagine that his family
- 00:35:18were those that didn't flee is from the
- 00:35:21persecution from the persecution is
- 00:35:23probably converted to Islam and now you
- 00:35:26know Seven Generations later we meet you
- 00:35:28know 200 years later in Canada of all
- 00:35:30places so it's such a small world yeah
- 00:35:34it's incredible
- 00:35:35uh so that's the little personal
- 00:35:37connection to what was going on here
- 00:35:39with Russia and Iran and dubiel
- 00:35:43um and and the buharian community which
- 00:35:46is like part Russian part Persian so I
- 00:35:49imagine the bukharians are also under
- 00:35:50dubia
- 00:35:52Russian part Persian and we're also
- 00:35:55Harry so
- 00:35:58we're under the same yeah okay next
- 00:36:03the next verse back to Ezekiel verse 6.
- 00:36:08it actually mentions gomil again and
- 00:36:11remember Gomez
- 00:36:13so regarding what we were talking about
- 00:36:16with the gas and with this whole thing
- 00:36:17in the European Union and what are they
- 00:36:19doing in with Russia
- 00:36:22there's a lot more to the I don't know
- 00:36:24what you want to call it there's some
- 00:36:26International perhaps it's an
- 00:36:27international conspiracy because Ezekiel
- 00:36:29is really saying it's a global war
- 00:36:31that'll ultimately end in Israel
- 00:36:34so if even though we point the finger at
- 00:36:36Russia there's a lot more going on
- 00:36:38behind the scenes than we really
- 00:36:40understand here and all really all of a
- 00:36:43dome the whole Western world is really
- 00:36:47nobody's so righteous in this in this
- 00:36:49conflict
- 00:36:50and huh they're cooking something yeah
- 00:36:53exactly and then he's saying so
- 00:36:59Ezekiel is saying that this is going to
- 00:37:01happen a long time in the future Ezekiel
- 00:37:03left two and a half thousand years ago
- 00:37:04he's saying don't think that this is
- 00:37:06going to happen like soon he's saying
- 00:37:08it's going to happen at the end of years
- 00:37:10at the end of days at the very end of
- 00:37:12History
- 00:37:13he will come all this whole Alliance
- 00:37:18they will come to a land that just
- 00:37:20returned from some destruction
- 00:37:23so they're coming to an Israel that was
- 00:37:26re-established after great destruction
- 00:37:29that was re uh gathered the people were
- 00:37:33gathered from many nations
- 00:37:36on back to their Homeland in Israel
- 00:37:41that have always been desolate and we
- 00:37:44know that Israel you know until the Jews
- 00:37:47came and revived it in the last hundred
- 00:37:48years it was mostly desolate if you look
- 00:37:51at what what people who came there in
- 00:37:53the late 1800s said Mark Twain was there
- 00:37:56Ulysses Grant was there look at what
- 00:37:57they wrote so it was empty Mark Twain
- 00:38:00was there and he said there's nothing
- 00:38:01here we didn't see a single person along
- 00:38:03the whole way nothing so the whole place
- 00:38:06is cursed dead and nobody is here
- 00:38:08and that's why the British nothing
- 00:38:11nothing it was a cursed land Mark Twain
- 00:38:13was there he wrote about it in his uh
- 00:38:16Journal of travel innocence abroad it's
- 00:38:18called he describes it as a dead cursed
- 00:38:21place you have to read what he says
- 00:38:22about it which is why the British wanted
- 00:38:23to give it to the Jews as they said they
- 00:38:26were going to give land without a people
- 00:38:29to a people without a land
- 00:38:31so make of that which you will and of
- 00:38:34course in today's world nobody actually
- 00:38:36knows any history and when it comes to
- 00:38:39the arab-israeli conflict that's all
- 00:38:42yeah so we know what it was actually
- 00:38:44like and that's what Ezekiel is saying
- 00:38:46that this land has been desolate for a
- 00:38:48very long time and the Jews finally
- 00:38:49returned to their land and make it
- 00:38:51flourish
- 00:38:53and our and our prosperous
- 00:38:55and komal again God is saying
- 00:39:00so there's going to be like an evil plan
- 00:39:03plot ultimately against Israel and
- 00:39:06they're going to come
- 00:39:08they're going to come to take the spoils
- 00:39:10of Israel and so on and they're going to
- 00:39:12attack
- 00:39:14us so they're going to attack this new
- 00:39:18nation that was recently regathered from
- 00:39:21many nations
- 00:39:22that's very successful economically
- 00:39:26that are living in it means the navel of
- 00:39:30the world the Israel is like the center
- 00:39:32of the world it's described as
- 00:39:36so now if we jump to I'll stop there
- 00:39:39with Ezekiel I'm going to jump to salya
- 00:39:42now look at his perspective on this war
- 00:39:44sorry that's what we just read on the
- 00:39:46first day of Sukkot he said
- 00:39:50so again this day is coming this great
- 00:39:52day of God Israel will be divided up by
- 00:39:55foreign powers
- 00:39:59that God will make it so that all the
- 00:40:01nations come against Jerusalem for one
- 00:40:04final war
- 00:40:05and the ear will be conquered and keep
- 00:40:08in mind that it's been a long long ago
- 00:40:11proposed to make Jerusalem an
- 00:40:13international city under U.N supervision
- 00:40:15with U.N peacekeepers that that
- 00:40:18Jerusalem because it's so contested the
- 00:40:20Arabs wanted Israel wanted they both
- 00:40:22claim it as their capital
- 00:40:24make it a un Capital basically uh give
- 00:40:28it over to the UN so that's been
- 00:40:30proposed a long long time ago and is
- 00:40:33still mentioned here and there so
- 00:40:34perhaps that relates to this what
- 00:40:36Zacharia is saying here
- 00:40:41so God himself and his Legions will come
- 00:40:44to battle remember God has always
- 00:40:46described in the Tanakh with a very
- 00:40:48military terminology Hashem is
- 00:40:52the god of Legions the God of War his
- 00:40:55his angels are always described with
- 00:40:58armor with swords drawn swords and if
- 00:41:01you think about throughout the Tanakh
- 00:41:03God has described the military language
- 00:41:05on his angels are riding chariots and
- 00:41:07all this kind of thing
- 00:41:09okay and this is where it gets
- 00:41:12interesting
- 00:41:15as if God's Own legs so to speak
- 00:41:17obviously not literally will stand on
- 00:41:20the Mount of Olives we've all know the
- 00:41:22amount of olives in Jerusalem
- 00:41:26in the east side of Jerusalem
- 00:41:30is
- 00:41:33so the the Mount of Olives will actually
- 00:41:35split in half and will form a deep
- 00:41:37valley
- 00:41:41so it'll kind of cut the city split the
- 00:41:44city in half almost but the Mount of
- 00:41:46Olives will turn into a valley
- 00:41:48there's another connection to Russia
- 00:41:50here actually because if you've ever
- 00:41:51looked at the Mount of Olives what's the
- 00:41:53most prominent thing that you see on it
- 00:41:55that Fortress no is it
- 00:41:58it's unmistakable you see a bunch of
- 00:42:01golden domes
- 00:42:03what is that you know the police police
- 00:42:05station no it's the Mary Magdalene
- 00:42:07Church it's a Russian modest church and
- 00:42:08Monastery yeah it's uh it's uh the
- 00:42:11Church of Mary Magdalene was built by
- 00:42:12the Russians by Sarah Alexander III in
- 00:42:151888. and they own that land Russia owns
- 00:42:19that land and they've actually in recent
- 00:42:21months and years Russia has been very
- 00:42:23bullish against Israel trying to take
- 00:42:25back more of their land from Jerusalem
- 00:42:28like every Russian Church they want full
- 00:42:30jurisdiction and control over those
- 00:42:33areas just a few months ago Russia Putin
- 00:42:36threatened Israel and said you have to
- 00:42:38hand over another church in East
- 00:42:39Jerusalem the Alexander nevsky church so
- 00:42:43Russia has been very bullish against
- 00:42:44Israel wanting to take moral Land from
- 00:42:47the Holy Land not only that they just
- 00:42:49closed the Jewish agency in Russia I
- 00:42:51don't know if you heard they closed down
- 00:42:53they forced the Jewish agency
- 00:42:55headquarters in Russia to close down
- 00:42:57partly because so many Russians are
- 00:42:59fleeing through the Jewish agency okay
- 00:43:02so uh the mountain will split turn into
- 00:43:05a valley and it'll be it Compares it to
- 00:43:08us Compares it to the amazing that in
- 00:43:13the times of the king
- 00:43:14there was a great earthquake horrible
- 00:43:17great massive earthquake in Israel it'll
- 00:43:19be like that earthquake and then this is
- 00:43:21where it gets even more strange because
- 00:43:23it says
- 00:43:24so imagine this mountain like turning
- 00:43:26into a valley and then on that day
- 00:43:31there will not be light it'll turn dark
- 00:43:34and it'll be freezing there will be a
- 00:43:36keepa on so this is where some people
- 00:43:38say this almost sounds like a nuclear
- 00:43:40winter right it's the sky is dark and
- 00:43:43the mountain turned into a valley the
- 00:43:45sky turns dark it's cold
- 00:43:47foreign
- 00:43:59light will emerge again I don't know if
- 00:44:01that means clouds will dissipate or
- 00:44:03whatever it is but light will find the
- 00:44:04darkness light will break through the
- 00:44:06darkness and finally
- 00:44:10so the Waters of life will come back out
- 00:44:14of your name
- 00:44:18they will go out to the great seas
- 00:44:21around Israel and the waters will purify
- 00:44:24the land and then the the very famous
- 00:44:26pasok that we know yeah
- 00:44:31the world will finally recognize the one
- 00:44:34true God the single God there will be
- 00:44:36the end of idolatry and all kinds of
- 00:44:38other nonsensical things ideas
- 00:44:42and Israel will finally and the Jews in
- 00:44:44Israel yeshuoba they will live
- 00:44:48securely without any more problems and
- 00:44:52and then it just mentions in verse 12
- 00:44:54visit
- 00:44:56so there will be some kind of plague
- 00:44:58that that God will bring about and what
- 00:45:02will it be hamek
- 00:45:05so a person is standing on their feet
- 00:45:08and it's like their skin is almost like
- 00:45:12melting
- 00:45:14and the eyes will like melt in their
- 00:45:16sockets
- 00:45:18and like their tongues will melt so
- 00:45:21that's why some people see it almost
- 00:45:22seems like a nuclear attack so that's
- 00:45:25why some people see it nuclear keep in
- 00:45:26mind though that it says God will bring
- 00:45:27this about so not necessarily that it'll
- 00:45:30be Russia or Iran or anybody else but
- 00:45:32that God will bring this about as a
- 00:45:34punishment against
- 00:45:38against all the foreign
- 00:45:41perhaps in any case there's going to be
- 00:45:43a resurrection of the Dead
- 00:45:46another clue that kind of
- 00:45:49you know when it says it calls all the
- 00:45:51transportation
- 00:45:52that's right that's right that's right
- 00:45:55they'll stop working basically that's
- 00:45:57right exactly it also says how people
- 00:45:59will come back on donkeys and mules and
- 00:46:01stuff implying as if that there's not
- 00:46:03going to be because of when you detonate
- 00:46:05a nuclear weapon you get an
- 00:46:06electromagnetic pulse that shuts down
- 00:46:08the electricity so it makes sense that
- 00:46:11and then mashiach will come on a donkey
- 00:46:13why would Michelle come on a donkey why
- 00:46:15can he come on uh Lexus or something
- 00:46:18why would Michelle come on a donkey well
- 00:46:21if there's an electromagnetic pulse and
- 00:46:23nothing's nothing electronic is working
- 00:46:25that it can very much make sense why
- 00:46:27mashiach would come on a donkey and
- 00:46:30there's another villagone tradition I
- 00:46:32didn't see it anywhere I did not see it
- 00:46:34written anywhere but it's supposedly or
- 00:46:36presumably a oral tradition going back
- 00:46:38to the villanue that who that who said
- 00:46:41that the war of Goku Magog will only
- 00:46:42last 12 minutes
- 00:46:44and some people see within that as well
- 00:46:46again I don't I've never seen it with my
- 00:46:48own eyes written anywhere it's an oral
- 00:46:50tradition
- 00:46:51yeah it's a common one and some people
- 00:46:54say that sounds like something nuclear
- 00:46:56where within 12 minutes you can
- 00:46:57definitely create a lot of damage and so
- 00:47:01what's the connection to Sukkot here
- 00:47:03what's the connection to Sukkot because
- 00:47:05the last verse in this
- 00:47:10whoever is left from the Nations will
- 00:47:13come
- 00:47:16they will come henceforth every year
- 00:47:20to Jerusalem
- 00:47:22hashems again God is described as the
- 00:47:25god of Legions
- 00:47:26to worship God
- 00:47:31so after this the Nations will come
- 00:47:33every year on Sukkot to celebrate with
- 00:47:36the Jews together Sukkot so Sukkot will
- 00:47:39become a global holiday no longer just a
- 00:47:42Jewish holiday but a global holiday and
- 00:47:44that's one of that's the main reason why
- 00:47:45we read this haftarah on Sukkot because
- 00:47:48in the end of days eventually in the
- 00:47:50Messianic age all the nations of the
- 00:47:51world will come to celebrate Sukkot with
- 00:47:54the Jews in Jerusalem you know everybody
- 00:47:56will be at peace and it'll be fantastic
- 00:47:59and so Sukkot actually our sageo said
- 00:48:03Sukkot was always secretly an
- 00:48:05International Festival because what do
- 00:48:07we do on Sukkot we would sacrifice Bulls
- 00:48:10how many bulls do we sacrifice on Sukkot
- 00:48:1370 Bulls over the course of Sukkot in
- 00:48:16the ancient times in the times of the
- 00:48:18temple they would sacrifice 70 Bulls one
- 00:48:20for each Nation
- 00:48:22so our sages say if the Nations knew
- 00:48:25what we did in the temple they would
- 00:48:27have never destroyed it if they knew
- 00:48:29that we sacrifice on their behalf in the
- 00:48:32temple and how much blessing that
- 00:48:33actually brings them through these
- 00:48:35offerings and sacrifices and prayers
- 00:48:37they would have never destroyed the
- 00:48:38temple because we actually bring
- 00:48:40Shepherd to them they through doing that
- 00:48:43the 70 Bulls in the temple
- 00:48:46and the number 70 is tied to Sukkot and
- 00:48:49is tied to Goku Magog in fact if you
- 00:48:52like gimatria the value of Gog umagogue
- 00:48:55is 70.
- 00:48:58is 70. so GoGo Magog is 70. if you like
- 00:49:02more coincidental numbers if you're a
- 00:49:05numerologist
- 00:49:06um it was actually
- 00:49:08Putin's birthday recently actually the
- 00:49:11same October 7th same birthday as you
- 00:49:13and he turned 70 years old so I don't
- 00:49:16know if that means anything to you but
- 00:49:18who's in the 70 actually I looked up his
- 00:49:21Jewish birthday he's not Jewish but
- 00:49:22let's say you were on the Hebrew
- 00:49:24calendar guess when he was born
- 00:49:27on the Hebrew calendar
- 00:49:31he was born on Sukkot he was born on the
- 00:49:34fourth day of Sukkot which is right now
- 00:49:36right now we just started the fourth day
- 00:49:38of Sukkot
- 00:49:39so right now is Putin's Hebrew birthday
- 00:49:41if he was a Jew he would be celebrating
- 00:49:44but he's not thankfully so he's not
- 00:49:47celebrating but right now is his Hebrew
- 00:49:50on his calendar his Hebrew birthday is
- 00:49:53Sukkot so he was born on Sukkot he just
- 00:49:55turned 70. I don't know if this has
- 00:49:56anything to do with it but Goku Magog is
- 00:49:5870 the 70 Bulls of Sukkot some very
- 00:50:00interesting again some people like
- 00:50:03numerology some people hate it make of
- 00:50:05that what you will those are interesting
- 00:50:07coincidences or not coincidences and
- 00:50:10finally I'm going to end with the zor on
- 00:50:12balak because this is the the Czar is
- 00:50:15arranged according to weekly Parsha the
- 00:50:17section on balak is one of the longest
- 00:50:19maybe even the longest there's a couple
- 00:50:21that are really long the Zoran is very
- 00:50:24long lots of prophecies why because
- 00:50:26parashad balak is where bilam gives his
- 00:50:29prophecies about the future
- 00:50:31and it's it says it's one of the few
- 00:50:34places in the Torah where bilam says
- 00:50:36I'll tell you what's going to happen in
- 00:50:37the end of days again just like easy
- 00:50:39Ezekiel said end of days and pilam is
- 00:50:42saying end of days so we got we have now
- 00:50:44we have the perspective of Ezekiel we
- 00:50:46saw what he says about Goku Magog Sariah
- 00:50:48talks about GoGo Magog but more
- 00:50:50specifically what's going to happen in
- 00:50:51Jerusalem right is telling us the
- 00:50:54description of Jerusalem Ezekiel more
- 00:50:55globally and now bilam the Tsar is
- 00:50:58saying is explaining what Bila I'm
- 00:51:00saying
- 00:51:01so it's three different prophets and
- 00:51:03bilam is a non-jewish prophet so that's
- 00:51:04also interesting so the Tsar is saying
- 00:51:06bilam he's quoting
- 00:51:10said I see it but it's not now it's in
- 00:51:13the very distant future and the Zara
- 00:51:15says of course these words milin Elaine
- 00:51:20this will happen in the future time
- 00:51:24in the time in the Messianic age before
- 00:51:27mashiach comes he's talking about the
- 00:51:29time before mashir
- 00:51:36God will make it so that before this
- 00:51:39Jerusalem will be rebuilt the Jews will
- 00:51:41return first there will be a
- 00:51:44kibbutzgaluyot will begin Jews will
- 00:51:46start coming back to Israel rebuild
- 00:51:48Israel rebuild Jerusalem so God will
- 00:51:50make it that before all this Israel will
- 00:51:52already be Jerusalem will be rebuilt
- 00:51:55yeah
- 00:52:01so a star will appear in the sky some
- 00:52:05kind of star that's going to have 70
- 00:52:07lights and 70 whatever that is 70
- 00:52:10spirits of light flowing from it
- 00:52:13and it'll appear in the sky in the rakia
- 00:52:16so
- 00:52:18then it'll shine
- 00:52:20this this bizarre light in the sky will
- 00:52:23shine for 70 days and then on the sixth
- 00:52:27day yet
- 00:52:31so on the sixth on a Friday apparently
- 00:52:35of the 25th of the sixth month which is
- 00:52:39elul so on the 25th of elul Something's
- 00:52:42Gonna happen why the 25th of elul why is
- 00:52:45that important we talked about that
- 00:52:46recently what's the 20. creation of the
- 00:52:50world that's when God the first of
- 00:52:52tishray was when Adam was created that
- 00:52:53was the sixth day so take five days back
- 00:52:55the 25th of elul was when God first
- 00:52:58began creation the creation of light and
- 00:53:00now there's going to be a bizarre light
- 00:53:02appearing in the sky
- 00:53:04now really I looked up the calendar for
- 00:53:07many years forward if the 25th of elul
- 00:53:10ever falls on a Friday and I couldn't
- 00:53:12find in the near future the 25th of elul
- 00:53:15ever falling on a Friday so I don't know
- 00:53:17if this here means Yoma shatita really
- 00:53:19means
- 00:53:20Friday or what we're not sure what that
- 00:53:22means I did also hear another oral
- 00:53:25tradition of the villagon something that
- 00:53:27I heard never saw that apparently the
- 00:53:29bill nagon said that it should say the
- 00:53:3123rd of elude not the 25th of elune I
- 00:53:33don't know I haven't seen it that's what
- 00:53:35they say
- 00:53:39so this will be at the end of 70 days
- 00:53:41okay now
- 00:53:43what's going to happen
- 00:53:46on the first day it'll appear in the
- 00:53:49city of Rome
- 00:53:50The Third Rome
- 00:53:52okay so if that's Moscow then perhaps
- 00:53:54over Moscow a star will appear
- 00:53:57on that day
- 00:54:00three tall towers will fall
- 00:54:04from
- 00:54:06the city of Rome
- 00:54:13and the ruler of that City will die
- 00:54:18henceforthos
- 00:54:22that there will be a global war there
- 00:54:25will be great Wars all over the world
- 00:54:27will be fought it will be like mass
- 00:54:28chaos
- 00:54:29what's interesting as a side note is
- 00:54:31some people saw in this go back 20
- 00:54:35one 21 years ago to 9 11 9 11 happened
- 00:54:39tragically
- 00:54:41I remember we saw this back then
- 00:54:43that people were saying using citing
- 00:54:46visor as if it's a 911 was a fulfillment
- 00:54:50of the Czar because it says three tall
- 00:54:52towers
- 00:54:53will fall so people say that's World
- 00:54:56Trade Center one two and seven because
- 00:54:58World Trade Center seven also bizarrely
- 00:55:00and inexplicably yeah bizarrely and
- 00:55:03inexplicably seem to just tumble down so
- 00:55:06three towers came down on the World
- 00:55:08Trade Center and the Pentagon was hit so
- 00:55:11some people say that's the the Pentagon
- 00:55:14is the world's largest office building
- 00:55:15so some people say that was the that's
- 00:55:19mentioned here that's what people said
- 00:55:20and
- 00:55:229 11 on the Jewish calendar was the 23rd
- 00:55:25of elude because it was in September it
- 00:55:27was in elul but it was but it was not a
- 00:55:29Friday it was a Tuesday
- 00:55:34well funny enough George Bush's nickname
- 00:55:37was Magog and his skulls and bones
- 00:55:39Society in his secret Club yeah
- 00:55:43so that was George but but we we met
- 00:55:46George Bush a few weeks ago and he's
- 00:55:48he's uh I don't know seems harmless so
- 00:55:53uh because he was here he was here with
- 00:55:55Stephen Harper
- 00:55:57earlier in September
- 00:55:59so but anyway yeah his nickname
- 00:56:01apparently was muggle but no because
- 00:56:03here the Zohar is saying it cannot be
- 00:56:05that the sower is talking about 9 11.
- 00:56:07because first of all
- 00:56:11um the ruler of the city or the United
- 00:56:14States did not die
- 00:56:15[Music]
- 00:56:16um it's the idea of a great palace this
- 00:56:19falling destroying that didn't happen
- 00:56:21either like it was not the white house
- 00:56:23depending on the not fall apart so there
- 00:56:25was no great palace the ruler did not
- 00:56:26die it did not happen on the 25th of the
- 00:56:28ruler was not a Friday many other there
- 00:56:30was no star in the sky that was shining
- 00:56:33for 70. it did lead to a bunch of Wars
- 00:56:36but not the words that it's talking
- 00:56:38about here this was talking about like a
- 00:56:39global thing not just Afghanistan Iraq
- 00:56:43or whatever something much bigger than
- 00:56:45that
- 00:56:45so it cannot be that this is talking
- 00:56:47about 9 11. so I just wanted to point
- 00:56:49that out because I remember this very
- 00:56:51clearly even 20 years ago that people
- 00:56:53were pointing this out and saying that
- 00:56:55must have been you know the Fulfillment
- 00:56:57of this so and it wasn't
- 00:57:00so what needs to happen is the third
- 00:57:02room will fall its president will die
- 00:57:04and then a set of global Wars will occur
- 00:57:06and then
- 00:57:10that day when the star will appear
- 00:57:14the land of Israel will shake remember
- 00:57:17what what the prophet said about the
- 00:57:19great earthquake in Israel and Jerusalem
- 00:57:22it'll Shake mem hey million 45 miles
- 00:57:26it'll open up there's going to be a huge
- 00:57:28earthquake
- 00:57:30under in the place of atar De Hava bay
- 00:57:33mcdasha where the temple once stood
- 00:57:37which for obvious reasons we need that
- 00:57:39to happen so
- 00:57:41um
- 00:57:46and a cave will be revealed from deep
- 00:57:49underground
- 00:57:53a great fire will emerge Alma that will
- 00:57:57burn the world
- 00:58:01and one great bird will emerge from that
- 00:58:04cave
- 00:58:04of
- 00:58:06a bird some some versions of the text
- 00:58:08say anapha a great Branch but it should
- 00:58:11really say a great bird
- 00:58:13and who is that great bird
- 00:58:15Alma who will eventually rule the world
- 00:58:19he will receive the kingdom and he is of
- 00:58:22course
- 00:58:25why is he called a bird the Zohar refers
- 00:58:28to the place where mashiach soul is as
- 00:58:30kansipo the bird's nest for various
- 00:58:33reasons which we don't have time now
- 00:58:35maybe another time mashiach has referred
- 00:58:37to as a bird
- 00:58:38almost like the
- 00:58:41um the Phoenix kind of like this great
- 00:58:43this great cave will be revealed there
- 00:58:45will be a great fire that will emerge
- 00:58:46and this bird will almost like the
- 00:58:49resurrection of the Phoenix idea
- 00:58:54is there will be at that time any haters
- 00:58:57of Israel as we know that's very plain
- 00:58:59to see
- 00:59:00uh many haters of Israel all over the
- 00:59:02world
- 00:59:04but uh you know they'll get their
- 00:59:06comeuppance
- 00:59:09and the the dead will be Resurrected
- 00:59:14at that time eventually
- 00:59:17that's the end of the of the Zohar
- 00:59:20passage okay so what does that do with
- 00:59:23Sukkot because there's all these wars
- 00:59:25happening presumably on Sukkot there's
- 00:59:26various Traditions that this will take
- 00:59:28place on Sukkot specifically
- 00:59:30which is the last day of Sukkot before
- 00:59:33shmini at is which means the great
- 00:59:35salvation we expect to hopefully be
- 00:59:38saved
- 00:59:40and of course the last thing I want to
- 00:59:43just finish with this when we have
- 00:59:44prophecies we have a rule in Judaism
- 00:59:46that a negative prophecy does not have
- 00:59:48to be fulfilled God gives a negative
- 00:59:51prophecy as a warning that's what we
- 00:59:53read on Yom Kippur with Yona God told
- 00:59:55Yona to go to ninvee and warn them that
- 00:59:58you will be destroyed and then they
- 01:00:00repented and so God didn't destroy them
- 01:00:02so the whole lesson there is that we can
- 01:00:05repent and we can avoid a negative
- 01:00:08prophecy the rule in Judaism is that
- 01:00:10positive prophecies for sure will be
- 01:00:12fulfilled but negative prophecies don't
- 01:00:15have to be fulfilled
- 01:00:17because they're given as a warning it's
- 01:00:18like when a parent tells their child if
- 01:00:20you promise them something a reward you
- 01:00:22will give them that reward because you
- 01:00:23promised it to them but when you
- 01:00:25promised them punishment for something
- 01:00:26if they don't do something and then they
- 01:00:28avoid that thing that you didn't want
- 01:00:30them to do you're not going to punch
- 01:00:31them so it was a prophecy that was meant
- 01:00:33as a warning with the hope that it
- 01:00:35wouldn't be fulfilled so positive
- 01:00:37prophecies are always fulfilled negative
- 01:00:40prophecies don't have to be so we still
- 01:00:42have a chance to
- 01:00:44hopefully avoid the catastrophe because
- 01:00:47remember when rebioshua met mashiach at
- 01:00:49the gates of Rome which we mentioned
- 01:00:50last time he told him that I'll come
- 01:00:53today
- 01:00:54if we listen to God and repent and
- 01:00:57everybody really did what God wanted
- 01:00:59mashiach would come immediately in a
- 01:01:01positive way on a cloud and every there
- 01:01:03will be immediate instant world peace
- 01:01:05and if not then there's all this kind of
- 01:01:08punishment and retribution that needs to
- 01:01:10take place
- 01:01:13there was but but let's hope that we
- 01:01:17don't have to experience those bad
- 01:01:18things and let's hope that our prayers
- 01:01:20during this High holiday season and
- 01:01:22archuva made some kind of dent in in
- 01:01:24heaven and and hopefully we can avoid
- 01:01:26some of this and hopefully we'll see
- 01:01:27mashir come in a positive peaceful way
- 01:01:29without any suffering for anybody and
- 01:01:32we'll see Global Peace very soon God
- 01:01:35willing
- 01:01:37thank you very much
