Geula Update from Rav Fish - Emor/Behar 5776

Rav Fish last week (p. 5, my translation):

A wise man Shlit"a wrote me that the total years that Sha'ul and David reigned was 43 years.  Sha'ul reigned for 3 years¹ and then he was killed. And then, David reigned in Hevron for 7 years, and there was an overlap between Sha'ul's children and David. And then, David reigned by himself for 33 years in Yerushalayim. And if we relate to the years from 5708 until the end of the millennium, which is 292 years that are designated to the 2 Mashiahs, which correspond to the 43 years that Sha'ul and David reigned, and we divide the 292 years into 43 parts, [you get 6.79 years, so] it comes out that in 5775, the Kingdom of David that corresponds to the 33 years that he reigned alone should have begun.²

(And really, I saw that they bring down about the righteous Rav David Baharan ZT"L, who said about the years 5708 and 5727 that they are auspicious for Redemption according to the Gr"a. And every time that he mentioned the matter, he would say that 5708 is possibly really 5709 and 5727 is possibly really 5728. And also the Six Day War in 5727, which was a year of Pekida [remembrance for salvation] that was a missed opportunity.)

According to this calculation, it [5727] parallels the time that David started reigning in Hevron since Sha'ul was killed a little less than 3 years after he was coronated³. And in 5727 started to gleam the light of David when it was again possible to pray in the Me'arat Hamachpela in Hevron and at the Kotel Hama'aravi, which are places that apply to the Kingdom of the House of David.

Rav Fish this week (p. 6, my translation):

[After quoting the Zohar Hadash in Balak 68b⁴, he writes:]

We see that the Zohar mentions 274 years from the morning of the sixth millennium. And in the commentary "Ziv Hazohar" on the Zohar Hadash, it is explained that there is here a process of Redemption that lasts 2 years. And we see from the Zohar that the time is connected to Shemita and Yovel.

And R' Y. Fishman Shlit"a explains that the year 5776, which is the year after Shemitta (Motza'ei Shevi'it) is hinted to in the verse about Yovel:

וְסָפַרְתָּ לְךָ, שֶׁבַע שַׁבְּתֹת שָׁנִים--שֶׁבַע שָׁנִים, שֶׁבַע פְּעָמִים; וְהָיוּ לְךָ, יְמֵי שֶׁבַע שַׁבְּתֹת הַשָּׁנִים, תֵּשַׁע וְאַרְבָּעִים, שָׁנָה.

And thou shalt number seven sabbaths of years unto thee, seven times seven years; and there shall be unto thee the days of seven sabbaths of years, even forty and nine years.

And there is also another wonderful hint from this verse about the year 5776.  If we calculate שֶׁבַע פְּעָמִים - i.e. 7 times - the gematria of שֶׁבַע שָׁנִים, as it says שֶׁבַע שָׁנִים, שֶׁבַע פְּעָמִים,⁵ and we add to that the gematria of the word שֶׁבַע as the verse continues וְהָיוּ לְךָ, יְמֵי שֶׁבַע, we get the number 5776⁶.

R' Avraham Agassi Shlit"a adds that the words וְהָיוּ לְךָ, יְמֵי שֶׁבַע שַׁבְּתֹת הַשָּׁנִים have the gematria of 2016, the Hishtalshut of the secular year.

And also, the 2 verses:

כִּי יוֹבֵל הִוא, קֹדֶשׁ תִּהְיֶה לָכֶם; מִן-הַשָּׂדֶה--תֹּאכְלוּ, אֶת-תְּבוּאָתָהּ. בִּשְׁנַת הַיּוֹבֵל, הַזֹּאת, תָּשֻׁבוּ, אִישׁ אֶל-אֲחֻזָּתוֹ.

together have a gematria of 5770, and if we spell out קודש with a vav, we get 5776.

1. YY - I always heard 2 years, but he explains this a bit later
2. 6.79 x (43 - 33) = 67.9 which is really almost 68 years, which really comes to 5776
3. 6.79 x 2.8 = 19.01
4. whose translation can be found here - see especially what is in boldface there
5. שבע שנים = 772 so 7 x 772 = 5404
6. 5404 + 372 = 5776
