Dan's Blessing and 70 Years
Bemidbar Rabba 14:21:
If we say that the 70 letters correspond to the 70 years that began in the year 5700 (as Rav Fish has done often in other circumstances, such as the 70 words of Psalm 20, followed by ובא לציון גואל), we can construct it like this. Note that in my table below, we are starting from 5700 and not 5701 as it seems to fit better. I can also fit starting from 5701, but not as well.ד"א למה שבעים כנגד שבעים אותיות האמורות בברכת דן מן דן ידין עמו וגו' עד ויפול רוכבו אחור על שפיטת שמשון לפי שפסוק אחרון לישועתך וגו' לא אמרו יעקב אלא על שמשון...Another explanation on why [did Ahiezer Ben Amishadai use a silver basin weighing] 70 [shekels]: It corresponds to the 70 letters that are said in the blessing of [Yaakov Avinu to] Dan from דן ידין עמו until ויפל רכבו אחור regarding the rulership of Shimshon - because the final verse לישועתך... Yaakov only said about Shimshon [Etz Yosef: it was a prayer - as opposed to a prophecy - about Shimshon].
The words לישועתך קויתי ה' are referring to Mashiah (See the Nusah Aheir in Targum Yonatan. Also see the Midrash quoted in this post).

I just read on A7 or one of the other news outlets, that the IDF is thinking of going into GAZA again to eliminate some 'trouble spots'. Does this war fit in anywhere?
I was thinking that if the IDF does go in, this may give the murderer in Syria an excuse (as he has threatened) to strike Israel hv"s. And Barak's latest suggested 'giveaway' is just ludicrous and immoral.
Interesting post!! Actually the friday night before the cast lead operation my aunt told me of a dream she had during the week which was of a snake eating another snake and for some reason it hit me as the bracha of yaackov to Shevet Dan which is that Shevet dan (Whose sign is a snake) will avenge the nations who came up against us... So i Told my aunt that what she saw in her dream was the snake of Shevet Dan eating the snake of tumah i.e the other nations... that motzei shabos we heard that Israel had started "Cast Lead" Shabbos morning.... And the 1st unit to go in was Tzanchanim whose sign is a snake with wings on it =)
Neshama, I've heard that for a while now. I don't know if it will ever happen, or if it does, if it will be part of a bigger war.
Anonymous, very interesting.
I also noticed:
Vayyipol - 2001, i.e. 9/11
Ikvei - 1993, period of Oslo accords. the heels/legs are the part of kedushah which descends into BY"A and from which the klippah gets its strength (ragleha yordot mavet)
HaNoshekh - 1990/1991, Iraq launches Scuds at Israel
