Trump's Trip Triad Translates Terrifically

Three countries of President Trump's Upcoming Trip (Google Maps screenshot)

President Trump is scheduled to visit three countries later this month: Saudi Arabia, Israel, and The Vatican - in that order.  (This is besides the NATO meeting and the G7 meeting which he will later attend in Brussels and Sicily respectively.)  The three countries leading his visit are symbolic in many ways.

Saudi Arabia is the home to Islam's 2 holiest cities.  A very strong case can be made that it can be considered the headquarters of Yishmael.  The Vatican in Rome is the headquarters of Catholicism and a strong case can be made that it is the headquarters of all of Edom.  Yishmael is the Kelipa of the Right and Edom is the Kelipa of the Left - in the spiritual sense, but as you see in the map above, also in the geographic sense.  Israel is the holiness that is in the center.

President Trump is scheduled to visit Saudi Arabia first - starting his trip on a Friday.  Yishmael's holy day of the week is Friday.  Next, he will travel to Israel, inhabited by Jews, whose Sabbath is on Saturday.  And then, he will travel to the heart of Edom, where they commemorate their holy day on Sunday.

Both Yishmael and Edom are close (but no cigar) copycats of the Jewish people.  Of course, Saturday is the real day and they each offset it by 1 day to show how close they are to the real thing.  But as much as they are a step above paganism, they are in fact still far, far away.

Yishmael, who took the Hessed of Avraham Avinu to the unholy extreme, now produces Al-Qaeda, ISIS, the Taliban, Iran, and all types of tyranny.  Edom, who took the Gevurah of Yitzhak Avinu to the unholy extreme, now produces and condones the worst types of immorality possible.  Both claim to worship G-d, but each in their own warped way.

Only Israel is the Shevil Hazahav - the golden path - as the Rambam defines it.  Only Israel comes from the side of holiness and worship Hashem in holiness.  And only Israel keeps our holy day on Saturday - the real day of rest - the day upon which Hashem Himself rested.

And President Trump is scheduled to arrive in Israel 2 days before Yom Yerushalayim - the Yovel anniversary of the Holy City's liberation after being in the hands of Edom and Yishmael for 1900 years.  And the 50th year is holy, as it says: וְקִדַּשְׁתֶּם, אֵת שְׁנַת הַחֲמִשִּׁים שָׁנָה [And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year].  So Mr. Trump will witness the holy people in the holy city in the holy year after liberation, sandwiched between a visit to its previous occupiers.  There is nothing more symbolic.

And as the Rambam also notes, regarding Edom and Yishmael:

 וכשיעמוד המלך המשיח באמת, ויצליח וירום ויינשא--מיד הם כולן חוזרין ויודעים ששקר נחלו אבותיהם, ושנביאיהם ואבותיהם הטעום.

And when the real King Mashiah rises up, and he becomes successful and is lifted up and exalted, immediately, they all will retract and know that their fathers have taught them falsehood, and that their prophets and fathers misled them.

President Trump's trip schedule reminds us of this important lesson.  May it soon be realized.
