The 5775 Hope for Geula - Part 2

Continued from here

• 5) Vezeh Lecha Ha'ot

I translated Rav Fish here:

And it's also brought down in the book "Vezeh Lecha Ha'ot" by Rav David Margalit, a student of the Ketav Sofer, that the process of Redemption will be from 5760 until 5775, and then, Mashiah Ben David will come.

(I've searched for this book online at Hebrewbooks, huji, Google Books, and Otzar HaHochma without success.  With the exception of Rav Fish's newsletter, I have yet to find an online reference to its existence or even the existence of its author.  If someone has a copy or knows where one could find it online or even a reference to it online, I'd appreciate it if you'd let me know.  Thanks.)

• 6) Rav Kanievsky Shlit"a

A number of statements have been coming from one of the greats of the generation - Rav Chaim Kanievsky Shlit"a since this past Spring, 5774 about us being close to Mashiah's arrival.  See here, here, here and here, just to name a few.

Especially, see here, where I translated Rav Fish:

I [=Rav Fish] heard in the name of Rav Eliyahu Borer Shlit"a who merited to learn as a Havruta with Maran Hagaon Rav Chaim Kanievsky 30 years ago, and he remembers that in his time, Maran said about the Ketz of Redemption, "Whoever knows doesn't say." This is because there is the Ketz of the Gr"a that some people know about, but don't talk about. Now, as 30 years have passed, we hear from Maran again and again that Mashiah is at the doorway. Lich'ora [at first glance, it seems that] this is a proof that indeed the Ketz of the Gr"a has arrived.

Note that in Tamuz, Rav Kanievsky denied rumors that quote him as saying that Mashiah is coming this year so that one can hold weddings during the nine days, etc.  Nevertheless, he made clear that we are on the threshold of Redemption, and, as Ladaat reported, repeatedly mentioned the gemara that says that in Motza'ei Shevi'it, Ben David comes.

• 7) The Halban (Milkman) Shlit"a

Translated from Kooker from the beginning of Av this year:

And to conclude, [we will] bring down the message that the Halban wanted to give over a few days ago and right in the middle of Operation Tzuk Eitan, which is happening in Gaza:

They informed me from Heaven that the Geula process started today.  Am Yisrael is going to be redeemed.  No one knows how long it will take, dear brothers, but know that the Complete Redemption process has begun, and because of this, the troubles are not going to cease in coming.  However, you should know, brothers and sisters, that you now have the chance to get on the Geula train.  May it be Hashem's will that we merit this, Amen.

• 8) Rav Moshe Shternbuch Shlit"a 

Rav Shternbuch started dealing with the Russian capture of Crimea and its Geula implications, as per a tradition from the Gr"a, at his Purim Seuda.  He repeated his words later, saying, in part:

At this point of his words, Rav Shternbuch switched to deal with the capture of the Crimean Peninsula by the Russians and said: "Our rabbi, the Gr"a, said close to his death that when the Russians will capture Crimea, we will know that this is a sign for the footsteps of Mashiah.

"It's accepted from the Gr"a that when Russia gets stronger, then Tum'a gets stronger. The Kelipa of Russia is 'Dubiel' who inherited the Kelipa of Persia, and since they are Greek Xtians, they in turn have mixed in with them the Kelipa of Yavan with Edom," said Rav Shternbuch. He added, "Also, the author of 'Binyan Olam', Rav Yitzhak Isaac Haver, the student of the Gaon Rav Hayim of Volozhin ZT"L said before his death to his student Rav David Luria ZT"L that 'If the Russians will capture the entire city of Crimea - and especially the fortification of Kerch - one should already expect the feet of Mashiah.

"Similarly, " continued Rav Shternbuch in his words, "The Gaon Rav Simha Zelig Rigger ZT"L, the Av Beit Din of Brisk, said that it was a tradition passed to him from the students of the Gr"a in the name of the Gr"a that the kingdom of Russia will strengthen before the coming of Mashiah and the nations will fear them.

"The Gaon Rav Hayim of Brisk ZT"L also saw the Russians as a Kelipa that gets stronger before Mashiah. However, Rav the Gaon Rav Hayim added that the matter is dependent upon us - that only if we will be awakened and be strengthened in Torah and pure fear of Hashem, then HKB"H will hasten to redeem us at this time of Divine will. However, if we don't awaken, then G-d forbid, we will lose the moment and we will need to endure Hevlei Mashiah.

"What comes out of his words," summarized Rav Shternbuch, "is that the capture of Crimea is calling us from Shamayim that this is an opportune time to now work on the coming of Mashiah by awakening, strengthening in Torah, and pure fear of Hashem."

Later, in Iyyar, he said the same.

• 9) Rav Kaduri ZTVK"L

Ariel Sharon passed away this past Tevet.  Rav Kaduri - along with other Kabbalists in 5765-5766 - said (see the end of this post) that after Sharon will be the Mashiah, which was originally interpreted to mean that after his tenure as prime minister, the Mashiah will arrive. But as Rav Fish explained, it's possible that he meant after Ariel Sharon's passing.

(That is also how an Israel Hayom article interprets it straight out, citing Xtian sources.  However, I wouldn't trust the Xtian sources so much - their track record on anything that has to do with Rav Kaduri is terrible.)

• 10) Moishela, an autistic boy

I personally don't have an opinion on whether messages from autistics come from a Higher Source or not.  I can tell you that some people I respect do consider them from that Higher Source.  But even if you personally don't consider these messages coming from that place of Kedusha, they're always worth reading since they are always filled with Mussar that we all need.  Plus, just the mere fact that someone would go out on a limb and make the following amazing prediction warrants mention.  Here's an excerpt:

I Have Been Given Permission to Reveal to you Future Events

...

Then we will come to Purim and we will beg Hashem to save us from Haman and we will have a Haman here, a Haman that we will have to be saved from and we will have to fight, fight our fears, beg Hashem to save us from this awful terrible horrific person and his armies and his police. We will have to beg very hard. Hashem will save us.

He will save us, and then will come Pesach and we will be a tattered bunch of tired people when we sit around the Seder table, with Matzoh and wine miraculously provided for us by Hashem and we will beg Hashem to save us. We will beg Hashem. We will beg Hashem to bring the Geula Shelaima. On Shvii Shel Pesach we will hear the Shofar. We will hear the Shofar and on Leil Haseder each house will see Eliyahu Hanavi, all the Jews that are Emesdik will see him and it will give us strength, but it still won’t be the time of redemption. I can’t go on farther than that to explain, but when we see Eliyahu Hanavi we will know that very soon this terribly long Golus will be over, and we will be finally free. From that moment on, there will be more and greater wars. There will be false prophets and false messiahs, but we will hold on to Hakodosh Boruch Hu and to the seed of Dovid Hamelech, to our Moshiach Tzidkainu, our true Moshiach. He will reveal himself and we Motzai Shviis will walk into the Bais Hamikdosh and be Makriv Korbonos and be happy and be dancing with the greatest joy ever felt in the whole world, even though around us two thirds of the world will have been destroyed, and very few Yidden and even fewer Goyim will survive.
