JERUSALEM – Judah Ben Samuel was a legendary and prolific German rabbi of the 12th century who made some astonishing and specific predictions about the future of Jerusalem and Israel that came true.
Judah Ben Samuel, also known as Judah he-Hasid (Judah the Pious), lived and worked from the end of the 12th century until the beginning of the 13th century in Regensburg, authoring a number of books in the German language.

Judah Ben Samuel also prophesied that during the 10th Jubilee Jerusalem would be under the control of the Jews and the Messianic “end times” would begin. If he’s right, the 10th Jubilee began in 1967 and will be concluded in 2017.

I’ve seen this story periodically - always from Christian sites, never Jewish ones. None of these sites quote Rabbi Ben Samuel directly, much less in the original.
I haven’t picked up any of Rabbi Ben Samuel’s books. But if this “prophecy” was real, I think I would have heard of it from Jewish sources. It is, after all, an exclusively Jewish “prophecy” about the reconquest of Jerusalem. Heck, it probably would have been drilled into the head of every young Mafdalnik (Religious Zionist). It isn’t.
My bet is that this “prophecy” is a crock, pitched to the gullible to separate them from their money.

Jews rejected the Messiah, whom was crucified, died, buried arose and resurrected. Biblically we have be in the end times since Christ Jesus resurrection.
Others claim that Nostradamus was correct too.
Instead of focusing on the signs and wonders - Focus on Christ Jesus.
numerology is considered a false teaching.
God is in control. The next thing people will hear is that the rapture will come soon.
People thought the world would come to an end with WWI - when the Ottoman Empire was pushed out of Palestine.
People thought the world would come to an end with WWII.
People thought the world would come to an end in 1967.
We have been in the end times for many years. Christ will return when Christ returns. mankind will continue to be mankind - sinful and guillible.
While we are in the times you describe as “end times,” like a pregnancy ending, I prefer to view it as a birth of “New Times.”
Remember the parable of the tares in the wheat, where the weeds were planted while the people were asleep. We are now coming to the great awakening. It really is much more simple than people make it. Christ is already here and through our awakening, He will become readily visible, just as when Jesus let go during His dark-night-of-the-soul and realized that He and His Father were one! Remember, My Father exists in Me and I in My Father. And if you exist in Me, My Father that is in Me will also be in you. That is what communion is all about.
The problem is, people try to understand the journey to Christ as a linear one, just as one would go from one geographic location to another. It is not. It is an expansion of consciousness beyond the physical body to a greater awareness. Use the model of Russian nesting dolls where we are the small doll in the middle and God is the outer, largest doll. We all exist within the larger doll. Jesus who has grown to be much greater than the limits of the flesh where He was born as our Savior, is one of the larger dolls. We cannot get to God except by expanding through Jesus.
This is the reason that Matthew 24 where Jesus warns of false prophets goes on to say that “as the lightning in the east is seen in the west, so will the Messiah.” I jokingly say, “Wow, the Messiah must be one heck of a big dude!” In fact, He is, just not in physical form as we are. One of the attribute of being “raised up” is the ability to perceive higher levels of consciousness, just as Jesus knew the thoughts of everyone around Him.
Just as wave energy in the electromagnetic spectrum takes on the attributes of particles as it shifts into the gamma frequencies, human consciousness does the same thing. Thoughts become real physical tangible objects at that level. But human consciousness can only reach those levels when it has been cleansed of the heaviness of sin. Sin to the human soul is like a heavy wet blanket on the spin cycle of a washer, it knocks it out of balance, makes it wobble, and slows down its operational frequency. Thus an individual’s free will is limited to the attributes at that operational frequency in order that they not physically manifest thoughts that are harmful to themselves and others.
For some reason, unknown to me and in spite of me, after I physically died and returned in 1988 I began to be physically aware of other people’s thoughts as real physical tangible objects. The Bible is 100% accurate and so is science. However, there is a level of science that people do not understand relating to the operational frequencies of consciousness. It is all really simple. The reason Einstein and Bohr had their twenty year disagreement is that they did not understand this. Time is not just a function of the speed of light, it is a function of the relationship of the operational frequency of consciousness over the speed of light. To the extent the soul is cleansed and the frequency increased, consciousness reaches and surpasses the speed of light giving one the gift of prophesy. This is the reason that Peter quotes the Prophet Joel in Acts 2 concerning your son’s and daughter’s abilities. In these times, the presence of the Holy Spirit is much greater (right now).. And just as the weeds will be burned, a prayeful blessing to an evil person is like placing hot coals upon their heads, and for the same reason that Daniel was not burned by the furnace, we are now experiencing ‘global warming.” You could say it is man made in that the warming is a natural attribute of the Divine transmuting our sin.
The time/space continuum collapses at these frequencies of consciousness. All wisdom and knowledge is available equally for everyone at these levels in a sort of Divine library.
One other attribute I noticed is that when a higher level of consciousness comes to a lower level, it gives off light. This is the reason that scriptures refer to “God as Light.” It is also the reason I see the Holy Spirit as liquid light when it is upon someone. Ironically, it is the same pattern that Neils Bohr, the dutch atomic physicist observed, that an electron going from an outer orbital to an inner orbital gives off a photon (light). Often I will see this around ministers when they are preaching. I humorously ask them afterwards if they are learning by listening to the words that are coming out of their mouth.
What I have shared is the tip of the proverbial iceberg. It’s getting interesting. Hang on to your hat and enjoy the ride!
Incidently, all the earth changes are happening as a part of this new beginning. The portion of our Father’s Prayer that refers to “on earth as it is in Heaven” is beginning to happen. Satan knows he cannot survive in this environment and thus is trying to be the weeds hiding in our field (earth). It won’t work and in order for him to survive, he must go deep enough to where the field strength is sufficient to block the Holy Spirit. It really is all about Love. Love is the energy that serves as the glue to hold our soul together in order that it may have a foundation (rock) strong enough to reach higher levels (God). Life is about finding and removing the obstacles to Love that inhibit our soul’s growth.

Are you a member of a particular church or denomination?
I generally don’t attend church, but I read the Bible and talk with God daily. I have attend many churches, but am not a joiner. I prefer to read scripture and pray for interpretation.
Over the years, I have found that most often I will ask a question in prayer and then be guided to the scripture that answers my question. The Bible is my operating manual for my life.
I was not aware of the Menorah design, thanks. The only problem is that it suggests that the Tribulation begun in 2011, right? But we, the Church, are still here. I believe in a pretrib Rapture, so while the Menorah design fits Scripture, I don't know what to say about the possible correlation between the Psalm numbers and the years.
I view science as the search to understand how God works. There are no miracles. They are just events in which we currently don’t understand the science. That does not mean that miracles did not happen exactly as they are described in the scriptures. I think they did and can explain and demonstrate the science behind many of them.
I am in a university environment where I enjoy attending as many neuroscience, medicine, physics, biochemistry and other more general lectures and presentations. For me, they all fit together like a giant puzzle, my search to understand how God works.
Thanks for pinging!
Very true. You are correct. However many will be able to see through the illusion and have discernment. In my humble opinion, many of the people who visit FR are aware and have such discernment. They look for facts and do not get caught up in the emotional whirlwind. But even more important, they trust that knot in their stomach to warn them when something is not right! This is the same knot that keeps many soldiers alive on the battlefield. It only comes through an inner strength, peace and faith.
Preterist alert. Historicist alert.
Well, given this past election the majority of voters were seduced by the liberals promises of wealth redistribution. I refuse to call the out right theft by the long arms of government religion gifts. Now there is also a segment of the population that have been taught they get to escape the bloody tribulation by a quick ticket out of here. Problem for them is they ignore all the bloody conflicts through this earth right here and now. The world is sitting center of the economic fault line and it won't take much of a rumor of any kind to throw these liberals into quick sand. Then is when the fake peace maker get his go at healing the global wound. Christ said that all but the very elect would be deceived by the fake.
Now none of us know if we in flesh will still be alive tomorrow let alone when the sugar daddy gets dumped down here among flesh. So who knows how many will stand against him and his seductive promises.
Thank you for the ping, Uri’el-2012!
Certainly R. Judah HaChassid would take a dim view of Christians using him as a source for bubbe meises. He, and the Jews of the Rhine valley, suffered terribly at the hands of Crusaders.
I haven’t picked up any of Rabbi Ben Samuel’s books. But if this “prophecy” was real, I think I would have heard of it from Jewish sources. It is, after all, an exclusively Jewish “prophecy” about the reconquest of Jerusalem. Heck, it probably would have been drilled into the head of every young Mafdalnik (Religious Zionist). It isn’t.

He endeavored to deepen the feeling of devotion and pietyWhen I read his wiki page,
Baruch HaShem
something stood out: The study of the Talmud, especially as it was treated
Most Rabbis view the Talmud with great admiration.
by his contemporaries, seemed to him fruitless.
and emphasized the importance of studying the Bible as
against studying the Talmud.
This may have something to do with his Blessed Memory.

Nostradamus was interesting but not scriptural. The Jubilees are not numerology, they are YHvH's WORD. Seek YHvH in His WORD ! Anyone who is familiar with scriptures would know that End Times
