In June of 2009 an e-mail was sent to subscribers concerning a little known Rabbinic prophesy according to Israel Today. According to this article, Rabbi Judah Ben Samuel was a top Talmudic scholar in Germany. Just before he died in the year 1217 he prophesied that the Ottoman Turks would rule over the holy city of Jerusalem for eight jubilees. That is 400 years (8 x 50). The Ottoman Turks did take control of Jerusalem 300 years after the Rabbi’s death in 1517 and as according to the prophecy, the Ottoman Turks then lost Jerusalem 400 years later in 1917. It was during WWI that British General Edmund Allenby walked into Jerusalem on Hanukkah without firing a shot in 1917. The timing of this with the holiday and the ease at which it occurred indeed make this moment of history extremely significant.
In the book, Signs of the End, the significance of this date and its events helped launch the book. This was without even knowing of the Rabbi’s prophecy. They key was Allenby’s entrance into Jerusalem during Hanukkah. With the first world war underway with nation rising against nation and kingdom against kingdom there was added importance. In 1917 all nations that were involved in the war had become involved. But the kickoff day for WWI was the 9th of Av 2014, when Russia and Germany entered the war establishing the plurality of nations involved in the war. In doing a study on the day counts found in Daniel, these two days came up on the radar screen at the same spacing and these days were the second day of Hanukkah (Kislev 26) and the 9th of Av. With these days occurring in 1914 and 1917, it was found that 100 years later that the same day counts of Daniel occur. This with 100 years being the limit of a generation found in the Bible (as defined by Abraham’s 4 generations of a total of 400 years-–is it a coincidence that the Rabbi’s prophesy of 400 years also ends in 1917?).
The Rabbi then went on to say that after the eight jubilees, the ninth jubilee would have Jerusalem being a no-man’s-land, which it was from 1917 to 1967 until the Six-Day-War. The Rabbi’s prophecy then stated that in the tenth Jubilee that Jerusalem would be controlled by Israel and then the Messianic end times would begin. That would then bring the time to 2017.

There is obviously a huge difference between Jewish interpretation of the Bible and that of the other religions you mention. To lump the Jews in with Hindus, Moslems, and Buddhists is absurd and stupid. The Old Tesament is a Jewish scripture, first and foremost. Of course they have a deep understnding of it. It is written in Hebrew after all. Do you read Hebrew? Does Hal Lindsey or your favorite TV preacher?
Believe it or not, The New Testament is Jewish as well.

I must say that the point about 1917, 1967, and 2017 is intriguing. A variety of indicators seem to be converging about fulfillment of prophecy in just a few years’ time. 2012, 2015, 2017? Whatever. We are in for a very interesting decade. I won’t assume that anyone is right about being raptured away in 2010, though.
Not at all. It is a mixture of Jewish-Roman-Grecco paganism. There is nothing Jewish about a hybrid god-man,born of a virgin, dies and resurrects, who is worshipped by the drinking of his blood and the eating of his fleah. That is thoroughly pagan.
At the very least this should be kept in mind along with everything else that seems to be falling into place.
Interesting post.
Hey just wait one little minute.....
Where did you get the idea a Christian who drinks and eats the blood of the one they worship! I don’t and never would consider doing so.
We do have a communion service where we sip a little jigger of grapejuice and taste a bit of bread... he asked us to do this in rememberance of me”...which does not turn into anything as some would have us believe. It is simply remembering the great price he paid by laying his life down for us. It is also a time to reflect and if need be seek His forgiveness. But we generally keep short accounts with God in that regard. I sin too often to wait for a communion service.
It’s similar to the Jewish Sader meal....in that it only represents...and causes us to remember.
To think otherwise is just silly...
Thx.
Will check it out.
Blessings,
Thanks.
Will check it out, hopefully tomorrow.
Blessings,
“Believe it or not, The New Testament is Jewish as well.”
If it might not be too forward of me...what is a good translation one might have which enhances this fact??? Although it looks fine in those I have.
No, I won't make that assumption either. But it would be awesome if it did happen!
That "hybrid god-man" (how sickening), Who hung on a cross dying a horrific death to keep you out of hell, is returning to this earth very soon, just like He said He will, and you will see Him returning and all of your rage and hatred toward the God Who loved you so much He gave His life for you will evaporate as you realize Who you have rejected and what you have given up for all eternity.
I actually feel sorry for you.

Attempting to kill the creator of the universe daily is blasphemous. That was introduced following Nicea with the Roman church. It is as non-scriptural cult. You have stated that YHvH is not king of the universe ! Drinking blood and eating flesh is pagan.

It contains metaphorical insights when Yah'shua David has also produced a B'rit Chadashah commentary as well. I can recommend David Stern's Complete Jewish Bible
shalom b'SHEM Yah'shua HaMashiach
is viewed through a Jewish lens.
This is he, yes?

It looks as though it just may be.
the personal relation of the individual to God, which at times was in opposition to the religion of the Synagogue.
indulged in marked departures from the accepted religious practises.
emphasized the importance of studying the Bible as against studying the Talmud.
Sounds a little like Christ!!
Very much appreciated...thank you.
Hmmmm. Maybe some other posters can fill us in on what it takes to spot protomessianic tendencies in medieval Judaism!
It's nice to read the similarities the Rabbi shared with Christ's refusal to submit to the religious phonies of His day.
