The book of Daniel is sealed until the time of the end. Daniel
12:4 and 9. Daniel 12:4 says:” many will run to and fro and
knowledge in the book of Daniel will increase at the time of
the end.”
Daniel 7:4 The first beast is The LION with eagles wings. The
LION is the British empire and the eagles wings is America at
the time of the end.
Daniel 7:5 The bear is Russia. The 3 ribs are 3 nations
Russia invades at the time of the end. Ukraine is the first of
these 3 ribs.
Daniel 7:6 Is 4 Asian nations. Not in existence yet. These will
come into existence at the time of the end.
Daniel 7:7 The FIRST one world order. Not in existence yet
and will arise at the time of the end.
Daniel 7:8 The false messiah comes out of the 4TH beast.
Daniel 7:11 The 4TH beast is destroyed FIRST.
Daniel 7:12 The first 3 beasts will be alive for a season and a
time LONGER than the 4TH beast. For these scriptures to be fulfilled the 4 beasts of Daniel 7 MUST be alive at the SAME time. The time of the end. Very plain and simple literal scriptures.
There has never been an Empire in history called ” Media –
Persia.” Daniel lived in the Persian Empire.
Daniel 8:17 Tells Us that the RAM and the GOAT (United Nations) fight at the time of the end.
Daniel 7:11 Tells us that the 4TH beast dies first.
Daniel 7:12 Tells us that the first 3 beasts will be alive for a
season and a time LONGER than the 4TH beast.
For these scriptures to be fulfilled the 4 Beasts of Daniel 7
MUST be alive at the same time. The time of the end. Daniel
12:4 and 9.
Dan. 8:20 Is Media and Persia at the time of the end. Persia
will unite with Iraq and then unite the middle east under Islam.
Persia will go to YHVH LAND and put to the sword EVERY
man, woman, child and baby Jew in Israel. No survivors.
NONE.
10 Million Jews worldwide will die. This will cause the GOAT
to come from the west.
Daniel 8:5 The GOAT comes across the face of the whole
earth. This scripture is literal. The GOAT is the United Nations
with America leading the WAY.
Daniel 8:8 Tells us that America will win the war with Persia
and then break into 4 nations.
Out of 1 of the 4 nations will come the false messiah.
Daniel 8:9 The false messiah will put America back together
again. The people on the earth will SEE America that was, Is
NOT, Yet is. The false messiah will be crowned KING of
America.
Daniel 8:21 The false messiah will go to YHVH LAND and
enter the golden gate to the temple mount showing that he is
the King of Israel and the King of the Christians. Ezekiel.
44:1-3.
The false messiah will be Satan’s literal genetic son. The beast is a hybrid human – 2 thirds angel and 1 third human.
Satan’s son ruled the earth in the Days of Noah. Satan’s son
will rule the earth for 42 months before True Messiah will
come.
The great valley is the resting place for True Messiah BRIDE
as the home for the the chosen ones during his thousand
year reign on the earth made new as king of kings and Lord
of Lords. Zechariah 14:9.
And YHVH will be The GREAT KING over all the earth during
His Messiah’s thousand year reign as king of Kings.
Zechariah 14:16 The nations are still on the earth AFTER
True Messiah arrived and will go up to the New Jerusalem to
keep the feast of tabernacles for the thousand years. The
Meek will inherit the earth made NEW commencing.
This is the fulfillment of Tabernacles on the earth at arrival of The True Messiah. The YHVH burns the UNIVERSE. The
YHVH creates the NEW heavens and the NEW earth for His Sons thousand year reign on the earth made new as king of
kings. The Chosen ones will rule with Messiah in the NEW
Jerusalem on the earth made New commencing. The Messiah brings His BRIDE with Him.The tabernacle of YHVH is with men and they will be His children and YHVH will be their G-d. Isaiah 66:22-23 agree perfectly.
Genesis 1:1 YHVH created Time, Space and matter.
NOTHING in this corruptible creation is in YHVH Everlasting
Incorruptible Kingdom. BEFORE Genesis 1:1 There was the
everlasting incorruptible Kingdom of YHVH. The Everlasting incorruptible Kingdom of YHVH will continue. LOOK not to the things of this world as they will all pass away. But LOOK for things not seen. FAITH.
Updates: On February 24th 2022 Russia invaded Ukraine as I
predicted.The prophecy from Daniel 7:5 was fulfilled but
Russia will invade in total 3 counties so there is two more
countries left to be invaded by Russia.
This is the message for all my fellow Jews.A redemption from HaShem is at hand as The VILNA GAON (Rabbi Elyahu Kramer of Vilna), also my 4th cousin 19 times removed said:
“If the War Ships of Russia pass through the Bosporus put on
your Shabat Dress,’
When you hear that the Russians have conquered the city [?]
of Crimea [Sevastopol?] know that the Footsteps of Redemption are at hand. When you hear that the Russians have reached Constantinople [Istanbul] [know] that the Messiah will appear at any minute.

- Daniel and the two Princely Angels
Daniel chapter 10 ends with the following verses:
Daniel 10:18-21
We saw previously how “the man” in the Book of Daniel often refers to a specific angel apparently Gabriel. In addition to Gabriel we have also Michael. The two angels are separate but to some degree work as different aspects of one another.
Michael is the specific “Guardian Angel” of Israel.
The angel speaks of fighting against the Prince [angel] of
Persia and it is implied also that of Greece. - Prophecies of Daniel as Paradigms for the Future.
The last two chapters (11 and 12) in the Book of Daniel can
be explained in part as outlining events that took place in ancient times. The Persian Empire was conquered by the Macedonian Greeks under Alexander the Great.
After Alexander his conquest were divided between 4 of his generals. Two of these became quite prominent. In Syria there was the Seleucid Dynasty while in Egypt the Ptolemies ruled.
Meanwhile the Jews had returned and re-established their polity of Judah.
Both the Ptolemies and the Seleucids at different times ruled over Judah follow the Greek Religion and to become Hellenized Pagans.
The Maccabees fought against them. The victory of the Maccabees is celebrated in the Feast of Hanukah.
The Greek-Syrian Seleucid Successor of Alexander had geo-political reasons for enforcing Hellenism.
The following two chapters of Daniel describe events that can be partially explained by the struggle between the Seleucid and Ptolemaic Empires. The Seleucids are the “King of the North” and the Ptolemies “the King of the South.”
These however are Prototypical Prophecies where the Prophet takes events in his own time and extrapolates onto the future.
This is similar to the Prophet Hosea having to marry a loose woman named Gomer; Ezekiel needing lie on his side 390 days for Israel and 40 days for Judah (Ezekiel 4:5-6); and Jeremiah going to bury his loin cloth by the Euphrates (Jeremiah 13:4).
The Prophet uses things that he did or are about to happen as paradigms for the End Times.
The logic for this is that:
History is Cyclical. The same scenario, or parts of it, are
played out over and over building up to the finale.
The prophet needs to comprehend and depict future matters in terms of his own time, or close after it. He needs to speak of things he has some kind of handle on and extrapolate from them into the future.
Identifying Persia in Prophecy. The Russian Bear.
Persia either Iran or Russia!
Persia (“Paras” in Hebrew) is Iran. Persia in Biblical prophecy could conceivably refer to present-day Iran.
Alternately it could be a related country such as Russia since many peoples from the Persian area entered Russia.
The Sages (Talmud, Kidushin 71a) compared the Ancient
Persians to bears. Today, Russia is popularly identified as a bear and the Russian themselves enjoy this comparison.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_Bear
The Russian Bear is a widespread symbol …for Russia, used in cartoons, articles and dramatic plays since as early as the 16th century, and relating alike to the Russian Empire, the Russian Provisional Government and Russian Republic, the Soviet Union, and the present-day Russian Federation.
The Sarmatians who dominated Scythia in southern Russia
were recorded by the Romans as having emerged from the Medes who in turn had been untied with the Persians in one kingdom. On the other hand the Medes may have given rise to Baltic peoples and part of the Poles.
The Latvian language in the Baltic area is said to be very similar to that of the Ancient Medes. The Polish aristocracy descent from the Sarmatians as distinct the Polish common people who they believed to have other origins.
Elsewhere we have identified the Russians with the forces of Gog and Magog and with Mesheck and Tubal sons of Japhet.
There is not necessarily and contradiction here. All peoples
are intermixed to some degree. At different times one or other of the various composite elements may come to the fore for a while and then lose its dominance to others.
The descendants of Edom are present in most peoples usually as a minority group of great influence. One of the
characteristics of Edom is a hatred of the Jews and of Israel
and is also identified with continent of Europe and
Christianity.
- Identifying Greece (Yavan) in Prophecy.
Greece in Hebrew is Yavan (i.e. Javan) son of Japhet.
[The Cossacks of the Ukraine, and with whom the
Ukrainians identify, in later Jewish chronciles are referred to as “Yavanim” apparently since they adhered to the Greek (Yavan) version of Christianity.]
“Yavan” in Biblical prophecy may be connected with Edom. The Spartans were prominent among the ancient Greeks.
They were much admired by Hitler and the Nazis. In fact
Hitler considered the ancient Greeks, Spartans, and
Romans, to be the true models for national imitation rather than the primitive Germans whom he despised. Esau was blessed that he should live by the sword (Genesis 27:40). - Descendants of Edom such as the Spartans, Ancient Romans, and German Leaders were outstanding warriors and endowed with exceptional military talents. The Spartans claimed to be related to the Jews which suits them being descended from Edom since the Edomites come from Esau who was the brother of Jacob aka Israel.
- Edom is also identified as religion of Christianity because many of Jesus apostles was from Edom.Greece was start of Christian religion.
- The book of I Maccabees reports of a letter from the Areus, king of the Spartans to Onias, the high priest in Jerusalem: Areus, king of the Spartans, to Onias, the high priest,greetings.
- It has been discovered in a document concerning the Spartans and the Jews that they are brothers, and are of the race of Abraham. [I Maccabees 12:20-21.]
- Flavius Josephus also recorded the letter: We have met with a certain writing, whereby we have discovered that the Jews and the Spartans are of one stock, and are derived from the kindred of Abraham. It is but just, therefore, that you, who are our brethren, should send to us about any of your concerns as you please. We will also do the same thing, and esteem your concerns as our own, and will look upon our concerns as in common with yours. Demotoles, who brings you this letter, will bring your answer back to us. This letter is foursquare; and the symbol is an eagle with a dragon in his claws. [Flavius Josephus, The Works of Josephus, Antiquities of the Jews, Book XII, Chapter IV, 10].
- At some stage in Ancient Times the Greeks were conquered by the Israelite Tribe of Dan
Tyre of the Phoenicians:
Ezekiel 27:
Dan and Javan paid for your wares, traversing back and forth.
Wrought iron, cassia, and cane were among your merchandise.
At other times Greeks ruled over Israelites but the two bodies
did not intermix to a great degree. So too, captives from Judah were sold by Phoeneicians from Tyre and by Philistines to the “Sons of Yavan” (Hebrew: “Bnei Ha-
Yavanim” probably meaning the Greeks. Joel 3:4-6.
The last 2 chapters of Daniel as summarized by Wikipedia
Vision of the kings of north and south (chapters 10-12)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
Book_of_Daniel#Vision_of_the_kings_of_north_and_south_(
chapters_10%E2%80%9312)
Daniel 10: In the third year of Cyrus, Daniel sees in his vision an angel (called “a man”, but
clearly a supernatural being) who explains that he is in the midst of a war with the “prince of
Persia”, assisted only by Michael, “your prince.” The “prince of Greece” will shortly come, but first he will reveal what will happen to Daniel’s people.
Daniel 11: A future king of Persia will make war on the king of
Greece, a “mighty king” will arise and wield power until his empire is broken up and given to others, and finally the king of the south (identified in verse 8 as Egypt) will go to war with the “king of the north.” After many battles (described in great detail) a “contemptible person” will become king of the north;
this king will invade the south two times, the first time with
success, but on his second he will be stopped by “ships of Kittim.” He will turn back to his own country, and on the way his soldiers will desecrate the Temple, abolish the daily sacrifice, and set up the abomination of desolation. He will defeat and subjugate Libya and Egypt, but “reports from the east and north will alarm him,” and he will meet his end “between the sea and the holy mountain.”
Daniel 12: At this time Michael will come. It will be a time of great distress, but all those whose names are written will be delivered. “Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake, some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt; those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever.” In the final verses the remaining time to the end is revealed: “a time, times and half a time” (three years and a half). Daniel fails to understand and asks again what will happen, and is told: “From the time that the daily sacrifice is abolished and the abomination that causes desolation is set up, there will be 1,290 days. Blessed is the one who waits for and reaches the end of the 1,335 days.”
Concluding words:
Persia could be these nations: Iran, Russia, Baltic States and Poland
Edom: Associated with Christianity and Rome
Greece (Yavan): Ukraine,(Germany and Rome – Christianity) could be only used as a tool King of the South Egypt: – European Union, NATO and USA or all these 3 together. We still don’t know yet but when it happens we will know.
Avkat Rochel mentions among other things the expulsion of
Gush Katif in 2005 and the consequences afterward, which is
what we are experiencing now. Armilus also dies during this
time period and once again the entire world surrounds Israel
to try to divide Israel and Jerusalem.
It is in this final context that George W. Bush, the son of
George H.W. Bush came to Jerusalem in 2008 trying to
coerce then Prime Minister Ehud Olmert into agreeing to a
two-state solution with the Palestinian Authority and dividing Jerusalem between Israel and the Palestinians. It was during this trip that the now famous Megillat Bush was written and signed by the Nasi of the Nascent Sanhedrin, Rabbi Adin
Even-Yisroel Steinsaltz, Rabbi Chaim Richman and others
and presented to President Bush. It is in this scroll that
President George W. Bush was specifically identified with
Gog from Yechezkel the Prophet 38:1.
In the context of this scroll which was presented to President
George W.Bush as the embodiment of Gog and Magog when he came with intent to divide the Land of Israel and its
Capitol, Jerusalem, he was given a choice to be like Cyrus, King of Persia to unite the people Israel, its land and its Capitol or the opposite. He chose the opposite path and continued to pursue dividing Israel with the establishment of the Two-State Solution for the Palestinians. The consequence of that choice, as specified in the scroll, would determine both his fate and the fate of those with him, meaning his nation.
The close of his Presidency in 2008 witnessed the economy
of the United States plunged into one of the deepest
economic collapses since the Great Depression of the 1930s.
Politically speaking, the country was overturned with the
election the next year of Barack Obama who was directly
responsible for the strengthening of Iran and its nuclear ambitions together with the weakening of the United States leadership globally and domestically. Only with the election of President Donald Trump and his efforts to unify the entire land of Israel and its Capitol (even
Daniel chapter 11 reveals Ukraine (Germany and Rome used as tool) will be given to other nations. Ukraine clearly will cease to be country and will be given to other nations.
A winner of this war or who will defeat Ukraine will officially become ‘KING OF THE NORTH’!
The Daniel 8:11 reveals King of the South which is European Union, NATO, USA or all these 3 together makes war King of kings.
Later King of the North invades south which could mean invasion of territories of European Union, NATO, USA or all of these three.The first invasion is success but second time is blocked!This event is closely connected with Daniel 7:5 that
King of the North is associated with Bear which is Russia and
reveals 3 ribs of bear are 3 nations invaded by Russia. It also
reveals King of the North will invade after Ukraine another 2
nations or countries. When blocked armies invades Israel and
desecrates Jewish Temple. That suggest the 3rd temple is
built.
After these events Angel Michael and causing huge distress but those righteous will be delivered.The resurrection of death occurs of righteous and unrighteous occurs after messianic age.
After event of invasion of Israel we will count 1335 days!
Gog is listed in 1-Chronicles 5:4 as a sub-clan of the tribe of
Reuben. Magog is listed in Genesis as a part of the sons of
Yaphet. The Gematria (Numerical Value in Hebrew) of Gog
and Magog is 70 and 70 represents all of the nations of the
earth (Midrash Tanchuma, Korach 12). Perhaps it should be
interpreted figuratively as the peoples hostile to Israel and its
Creator and the war to destroy them.
The Rosh is listed as a sub clan of the tribe of Benjamin in Genesis 46. The ancient book of Jasher has Tubal as the people east of the Volga River. Meshech, a son of Yaphet in Genesis, is believed to the founder of a settlement on the
Volga that is now known as Moscow.
Incidentally, the family name of the current Pope (Francis,
officiating since 13 march, 2013) name is [Jorge] Bergoglio.
Which could be interpreted as ” of the Sons of Gog”.
There is a source (Midrash Tanchuma, Korach 12) from the
Sages that says what you say i.e. that Gog and Magog represent all the nations of the earth.
At least one other source (Abarbanel) assumes that the forces of Edom (Esau) will be synonymous with those of Gog
and Magog.
As far I understand the sources:
- First of all the Israelites lead by Messiah son of Joseph
and Ephraim and allied with Judah will fight against Edom
and defeat them. This will be followed by the Union of
Judah and Joseph, etc. The Messiah son of David then
appears. He helps Messiah son of Joseph complete the
defeat Edom. - Gog and Magog come after this. Messiah son of Joseph
may be killed by Gog and Magog – the most likely but it
could be he is not killed at all. Messiah son of David leads
Israel in defeating Gog and Magog. After that the Messiah son of David will rule over all the earth. It would seem from
this that in effect Gog and Magog will have somehow
represented all the anti-Israelite nations who will have remained after the wars against Edom. - The Messiah son of David will rule over all mankind. At the beginning this may be more by way of nature but evolve in a spiritual direction. Messiah son of David will rule over
mankind with the help of his Israelite subjects. There are
70 sons and grandsons of Jacob who went down to Egypt. These became 70 Tribes and clans of the Tribes. These parallel the 70 nations of the word. It may be that each of
the nations will be
guided by one of the 70 sons of Jacob. Gog of Reuben
may became the supervisor of Gog and Magog son of
Japhet. Similarly Tarshish was another one of the sons of Japhet (Genesis 10:4) and Tarshish is the name of an
entity (great-grandson) in the Tribe of Benjamin (1.Chronicles 7:10).
The first thing to keep in mind when considering the identities of Gog and Magog is to remember that their explicit mention 39 and Zechariah chapter 14). Their genealogical root is also listed in Bereshit 10:2 as being descendants of Yaphet ben Noach. The importance of this idea is that the books of the Prophets were chosen by the men of the Great Assembly from among many other prophetical books because those prophecies were relevant to and applicable to each and every generation. Like with the book of Bereshit, they are paradigms and not simply historical records. So in that context, the identities of Gog and Magog can be different throughout history. This answer will be limited to the perspective of where we stand today, in terms of current events and the scope of history as explained in the Torah. Torah tradition lays out a framework for history that follows the general paradigm from the six days of Creation mentioned in Bereshit chapters 1 through 3. Like is explained in Tehillim, chapter 90 following the teaching of Moshe Rabbeinu, that framework establishes 1,000 years for each of the 6 days of Creation. That means that our current time cycle, the focus of our current state of being, is anticipated to cover 6,000 years. We currently stand in the year 5,786, which corresponds to Friday afternoon of the 6th day of Creation, erev Shabbat. Like is taught in Bereshit, the 24 hour cycle of a single day begins from the 12 hour cycle of night and the second half of each day, meaning from sunrise, is 12 hours of daylight. So the first 500 years of each millennium is associated with night and the second 500 years with daylight. Each hour is equated with approximately 41.66 years. The complete and final redemption is equated with the onset of that first Shabbat and the coming of Moshiach corresponds with the 6th hour of daylight of the sixth day and the blowing of the soul into the nostrils of the already formed body of Adam HaRishon (Meaning our species of human, there were other species prior to our own.) which had been formed in the preceding hours of the sixth day. That hour corresponds to the year 5,750. Moshiach is destined to correct or beautify what transpired with Adam, his wife and the Nachash (a prior species of humanoid), to bring in Shabbat correctly and to celebrate it in accordance with G-d’s will and commandments. One of the best sources for a compendium and concise discussion of this process and the details of Moshiach’s coming, the events and conflicts of Gog and Magog and also Armilus HaRasha, the Prosecutor הזה השטן, who is called by the non-Jewish people the Anti-Christ, is Sefer Avkat Rochel by the Rishon, Rabbeinu Makir ben Abba Mori of Lunel, Provence in southern France. This is actually a three volume book, but the first volume can also be found in almost complete form in Midrash Talpiot. Avkat Rochel lays out 10 signs or events that Torah tradition teaches on this subject that cover the first appearance of Moshiach until the complete and final redemption. The first of those signs is called the period of the birth pangs of Moshiachמשיח חבלי, because it is compared to the pain and suffering associated with childbirth. In context, these birth pains are the tikkun made by Moshiach and his generation and are the consequence from the transgressions from Adam’s wife, Chava enumerated in Bereshit. This period is also the beginning of the Wars of Gog and Magog. That the War of Gog and Magog is divided in to 3 stages or time periods. In the context of the allegory of the labor pains, this corresponds to the 3 general stages of labor in the delivery of a human child. This is like is found in Midrash Shocher Tov and elsewhere to Tehillim chapter 118:10-12 which mentions all the nations surrounding me to make war with me and afflict me, three times. This idea of being surrounded by those that want to afflict me also corresponds to the physical manifestation of the contractions experienced during labor and delivery, which often originate from behind and encircle the abdomen of the mother.
That first stage (What is called the Stage of Early and Active Labor.) is described in the first 3 signs of Avkat Rochel. It describes the rise of the 3 leaders of the Axis Powers in World War II, Hitler, Mussolini and Hirohito, the condition of
the Jewish people at that time and their increasing level of suffering and anxiety, and the events of the Holocaust itself in detail.
The second and third signs describes in graphic detail the detonation of the nuclear bombs over Hiroshima and
Nagasaki to conclude the war in the Pacific and the resulting
black rain and severe radiation sickness that kills hundreds of
thousands when they drink that rainwater to quench their
parched throats from the effects of the blast. The 3rd sign
explicitly connects this event to Yoel the Prophet 3:3 which
says:
ו ְנ ָֽתַתִּי֙ מֽוֹפְתִ ֔ים בַּשָּׁמַ֖י ִם וּבָאָ֑רֶ ץ דָּ֣ם ו ָאֵ֔שׁ ו ְתִ ֽימְ ר֖וֹת עָשָֽׁן׃
That the Pillars of Smoke are pillars in the shape of date
palms תמרים דקל, which can also described as the form as a
mushroom cloud.
This is also discussed in detail by Rabbi Moshe Chaim
Luzzato in his Tikkunim Chadashim (,לרמח״ל חדשים תיקונים
light the that says which) תיקונא שיתין, ד״ה בשעתא דייתי גוג כו׳
and fire of the sun (a literal description of a nuclear explosion)
will be seen between the heavens and the earth. According to
Ramchal, both Moshiach (ben Yosef) and Gog are present in
the world at that time.
Those bombs were detonated on August 6 and August 9,
So in that historical context, you can now look for
actual historical figures.
As a reference point for later discussion, George H. W. Bush, the future 41st President of the United States was serving as a Naval Aviator from June 1942 through September 1945 and
in the Pacific theater, where those bombs were detonated,
starting in May 1945.
He was released from active duty in September 1945 and enrolled at Yale University completing his Bachelors Degree in 2 and 1/2 years in 1948. It was during that time that he was initiated into the Skull and Bones secret society at Yale and assigned the secret name, Magog, which is given to the initiate considered to have the most extensive sexual experience within the society as reported in an article from
Atlantic Monthly and also mentioned at Wikipedia. It is in this sense that the Prophet adds the description of Presiding Head of Meshech and Tuval. (Yechezkel 38:1-2) ראש נשיא
משך ותבל
That Meshech and Tuval have a connotation of both great wealth and sexual defilement and perversion like VaYikra 20:13.
His first born son, George W. Bush, who was destined to be
the 43rd President of the United States, was born July 6, 1946 which means that he was conceived in October 1945, the same year that the atomic bombs were detonated over Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
It is at this point that it is relevant to point out that linguistically in Hebrew, the letter Gimmel ג is included in the grouping known as the seven Doubling Letters. They are comprised of:
.בגדכפר״ת
This means they can either have a dagesh (a point) applied or not. When the letter has a dagesh, it has a hardplosive or doubled sound and when the dagesh is absent, the letter has
a softfricative sound. The Jews of Teiman still have the
tradition for pronunciation of a soft fricative Gimmel. It is pronounced like the “G” in the name George or like the letter “J” in modern English. In that context, it should be noted that Gog and Magog מגוג גוג are all written with the soft Gimmel in the books of the Prophets.
Returning to Avkat Rochel, the 6th sign discusses the rise
and fall of Josef Stalin and his treatment of the Jewish
people. With the fall of Stalin comes the revelation of
Moshiach ben Yosef to the whole world. Following the analogy of the Stages of Labor, the transition from the first stage, active labor, to the second stage, the
delivery of the baby, is characterized in the Torah to the special sign given to Shifra and Puah, the Hebrew Midwives, for an indication of the imminent birth of a child. That the thighs of the pregnant Mother in labor would cool, indicating
danger to her physical life and her drawing close to death.
The 7th sign discusses the rise of the political leader of the Jews in Israel called Armilus HaRasha. It also details the second stage of the War of Gog and Magog which describes Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm during 1991 which concluded on Purim.
The President of the United States at that time was George H. W. Bush. It was during this time that the Lubavitcher Rebbe publicized the now famous Yalkut Shimoni on Isaiah
recounting how the entire world would be drawn into a war between the King of Persia, the King of Saudi Arabia and Aram, which the Rebbe said indicated the Super Power
(רוממות of that day (the United States) and which would be
directed toward the Jews in Israel and that Moshiach would announce from the roof of the Beit HaMikdash, the message from G-d to the Jewish people to not be afraid because the time of the redemption had come!
It also states that Armilus tries to murder Moshiach ben Yosef and in fact, Moshiach ben Yosef dies during this period.
In relation to the stages of labor, this is the second stage
which is the period when the actual delivery of the baby
occurs. The head crowns and the baby takes its first breath of life. The Torah says it is at this moment that the soul dresses within the physical body paralleling the description of the creation of Adam HaRishon in Bereshit. From this point forward chronologically, is considered the Days of Moshiach according to the Torah.
The 8th and 9th signs deals with the transition from the
second stage to the third and final stage of the Wars of Gog
and Magog. In the analogy to the process of labor, this is the delivery of the placenta, the afterbirth, following the actual delivery of the child. There are still mild contractions which push the placenta out of the birth canal. This process helps to
eliminate risk of infection to the Mother. In Sefer Avkat Rochel it says this is the blowing of the Great Shofar mentioned in Isaiah 27:13.
It is during this transition that we experienced September 11, 2,001 and the bombing of the World Trade Centers in New York City and the Pentagon in Washington DC, which corresponds with the Hebrew year 5,761. These events are recounted in the Zohar, parshat Balak 212b and the commentary Ohr Yakar of Rabbi Moshe Cordevero. As a consequence of this bombing, the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq began on Hoshanna Rabbah. This event, the beginning of these wars is mentioned explicitly in the Tur Shulchan Aruch.
The writing from the Vilna Gaon are most likely referring to the sealed letter which the Gaon wanted opened 100 years after his passing. It can be found in the Rav Menachem
Kasher edition of Sefer Kol HaTor entitled “HaTekufah
HaGadolah”. It was published in 1972 and is still available in print. This schedule is also discussed in Sefer Kol HaTor. The Arutz Sheva article in question was actually quoting Rav Yitzchok Kaduri, zt”l, who said what I have mentioned. Rav Kaduri said the 3rd and final stage of the war of Gog u’Magog began on October 7th, Hoshana Rabba of the year 2001 with commencement of the bombing of the Taliban in Afghanistan.
This is also discussed explicitly in Sefer Chesed l’Avraham (by Rabbeinu Avraham Azulai), section Sod HaMikvah which states that this occurs in the year following 5,760, once the
Mikvah is full and fit to eliminate the condition of Tumah (similar to the effects from the delivery of the placenta in the the third stage of labor). Rabbi Avraham says this time point
is what is referred to in the Prophets as the time when Tumah will pass from the land (Zechariah 13:2).
