ANALYSIS: Jewish Sages on the Global Islamist War Against Christians

In France, for example, 1068 attacks on Christian institutes, symbols or churches were recorded in 2018 an increase of 17 percent compared to 2017.

The same trend is visible in Germany where not only anti-Semitism is on the rise again but also violence against the Christian community.

In March alone, four churches were vandalized or torched in Germany while the perpetrators don’t hide their identity as they write Islamic expressions as “Allah Hu Akbar” on walls and doors of Christian institutions.

In the German state of Bavaria 200 churches were attacked in 2017 while observers say that the number of these attacks has significantly risen since the arrival of a large number of Syrian Muslim refugees.

Authorities in European countries are obfuscating the identity of the Islamist attackers and when in sporadic instances the media leak the identity of a destroyer of Christian symbols and buildings present the incident as a result of a mental problem, expert Raymond Ibrahim recently wrote.

Ibrahim says that governments contribute to the rise of terror against European- and other Christians by not acknowledging the root of the problem namely “the intolerant ideology of Jihad.”

Jewish sages such as Rabbi Meir Leibush ben Yehiel Michel Wisse, better known under the name ‘Malbim’ and Rabbi Isaac ben Judah Abarbanel commonly referred to as ‘Abarbanel’, basing themselves on the prophecy Gog and Magog (Zecharya and Yechezkel), predicted* these events long ago.

Both sages wrote in their commentary on Zecharya’s and Yechezkel’s prophecy that the war of Gog and Magog would be a war between the nations of Edom (Europe, United States, and Russia) and the 'Yishmoelim'.

They will first gather against Jerusalem and Edom will take control over Jerusalem out of their hands before they start a war against each other, the Malbim wrote almost two hundred years ago.

The famous Jewish sage wasn’t referring to President Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as the true Capital of Israel but to the founding of the State of Israel.

Abarbanel in his commentary on Yechezkel 38:21 wrote: “And it is written ‘Each man will use his sword against his brother’. This alludes to Edom and Yishmael (Mohammed was a descendant of Yishmael's son Kedar) for they are brothers through their original forefathers.”

The Rabbi, who lived from 1437 until 1508, predicted that the war would be long and “extremely intense”.

Another famous Jewish sage Rabbi Yisrael Meir Dagan, better known as the Chafetz Chaim, predicted that the war of Gog and Magog would be a three-stage world war beginning with the First World War (WW I).

The second war would make WW 1 look like “a game” the Chaetz Chaim predicted correctly*.

He added that even the Second World War would appear like a game compared to WW 3 because of the nature and the duration of this Third World War which according to Jewish tradition would begin on Hoshana Rabah the seventh day of the Succot festival or the Festival of Tabernacles.

Rabbi Kaduri, a famous Kabbalist who passed away in 2006, predicted that Hoshanah Rabbah in the Jewish year 5762 would be the date the final stage of the war, Gog and Magog would begin.

This was October 7, 2001, when a US-led coalition started the invasion of Afghanistan after the Al Qaeda attack on the Twin Towers in New York.

The ‘War on Terror” as the initial phase of the global war against Al Qaeda and other Jihadist terror groups was named is still going on and is widening as the global Jihadist campaign against Christians makes clear.

The only country where Christians seem to be safe and where the Christian community is still thriving, is Israel.

I thought this was interesting and invite anyone with knowledge of these rabbis and this matter to please enlighten us.

From the article:

Both sages wrote in their commentary on Zecharya’s and Yechezkel’s prophecy that the war of Gog and Magog would be a war between the nations of Edom (Europe, United States, and Russia) and the 'Yishmoelim' [descendants of Ishmael--Muslims] .

Nah, let this is their fight.

Western Civ will, uh...sit this one out, I think.

We’ll watch.

Thx for that.

The only country where Christians seem to be safe and where the Christian community is still thriving, is Israel.

Yes, because Jews take THEIR borders in Israel seriously. Ergo, there is a meaningful screening process; security is not for pretend, in Israel. Israel badly wants to NOT be invaded, a desire I understand completely as natural. Yet there is this really striking and utter indifference to borders elsewhere. There, the thinking goes among rulers, borders are unsightly. They are nasty and really ought to go away, they really ought to massively import book and modernity-hating fatalists who idly hand around all day, seeking free, blinky gimcrack and staring at butts.

[Ezekiel]

The transference from Phase One of the ingathering to Phase Two signals the Final Redemption under the leadership of Moshiach ben Dovid. When exactly this will happen is the big question mark in Jewish history, and the subject of many trial calculations and controversy.

However, the Zohar (Bereishit 118a) says that just as the actual birth of a child becomes increasingly obvious with time, so, too, will Moshiach's arrival eventually become so obvious that even a school child will be able to make the calculation.

Gen 17.21. But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, whom Sarah shall bear to you at this set time in the next year:

Gen 18.14. Is any thing too hard for the Lord? At the time appointed I will return to you, at this season, and Sarah shall have a son:

2 Kings 4.
16. And he said, About this season, in the coming year, you shall embrace a son; And she said, No, my lord, you man of God, do not lie to your maidservant:
17. And the woman conceived, and bore a son at that season that Elisha had said to her, in the following year:

"That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind"

The first man to walk on the earth: ADAM
The first man to walk on the moon (symbol of the Kingdom of David): NEIL

And, what shall we call this modern-day hero of Biblical proportions?

[The Nine Days]

Columbia (the "dove" hovering over the waters) splashed down on Tisha B'Av:

We are about to observe our one-thousand-nine-hundred-and-forty-first Tisha b’Av fast (written in 2011 – Ed.) since the destruction of the Second Temple. That amounts to a lot of hope and a lot of disappointment. Although Mashiach¹ could come in any moment, the Talmud declares that Tisha b’Av is the day most suited to his birth.² Each year our hopes rise, and each year they have been dashed.

1. The soul of Mashiach has two dimensions. One is the enlightenment that all of creation will enjoy; and one is that there will be an individual (or a couple) that will master mind and master heart this giant planetary-scale project of coordinating all of humanity into a single, smoothly operating organism, that will run as efficiently as a person’s body. According to Kabbala, all of humanity, actually all of creation, is really a single partzuf, a single Adam. In fact, one main feature of messianic consciousness is a greater awareness of our oneness in this regard.
The distinguishing feature of this individual (or couple) is that he become the point of entry for the soul of Mashiach. The highest tip of our world contacts the lowest toenails of the hovering soul of Mashiach, and the highest tip of our world is the person Mashiach.

2. "And the spirit of G-d hovered upon the waters." (Gen. 1:2) Midrash Rabba explains that this "spirit of G-d" hovering upon the waters is actually the "soul of Mashiach," a term that refers to the highest possible G-d awareness/truth awareness that human beings are capable of. The whole point of our six thousand year labor of teshuva and tikun, of trying to grow and evolve, is to stretch and refine our personal and collective vessels, so that this "spirit of G-d" "this soul of Mashiach" can finally fit inside, embodied as the messianic golden age. Now, it "hovers upon the waters" i.e., the shifting sands of our physical world, waiting for our vessels to evolve and expand enough to finally let it come in. Now, our vessels are too narrow and constricted. There’s no space for its more expansive vision to fit inside. At some point we’ll accumulate a critical mass of tikun where the joint system becomes rectified enough that the designated person’s vessel can stretch the minimum amount necessary for the toe of the hovering messianic soul to actually, finally, squeeze in. At that point the potential Mashiach becomes the actual Mashiach, and that is what it means that Mashiach is born.

Glass-Half-Empty Consciousness of Tisha b’Av

coordinating all of humanity into a single, smoothly operating organism...

"For one priceless moment in the whole history of man, all the people on this Earth are truly one: one in their pride in what you have done, and one in our prayers that you will return safely to Earth."

History is prophecy. Discover the unknown, a page a day, as noted under the 66. 50th anniversary, incoming.

Moshiach's arrival [will] eventually become so obvious that even a school child will be able to make the calculation.

And the woman conceived, and bore a son at that season that Elisha had said to her, in the following year.

"That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind"

The whole earth was "looking up" to hear that announcement.
