...As previously mentioned, many Kabbalists have said that Ariel Sharon would be the last Prime Minister before the Mashiah. R’ Nir Ben Artzi is one of them, but he adds that there may be a rotation via some National Unity government, but there won’t be a leader that will compare to Sharon’s power until Mashiah...
Interesting.
Thanks.
