Geula Update from Rav Fish - Re'eh 5777

From Rav Fish's latest:

Hints from R' Menahem Barhum:

• The Egyptian Revolution and Arab Spring started on 20 Shevat, 5771.  At the end of Av, 5777 will be 6.5 years from then.  The Zohar in Vayera 119a says that at the end of the last 72 years of Hevlei Mashiah, there will be 6.5 years of a Ketz within a Ketz.
• [YY - I slightly modified the words of Rav Fish here to correct the calculation.] Rav Shternbuch Shlit"a brought down a tradition of the Russians capturing Crimea being a harbinger of the coming of Mashiah.  After the Russians captured Crimea and the Supreme Council of Crimea voted to become part of the Russian Federation on 4 Adar Bet, 5774, if we calculate 1290 days later, it comes out to 25 Elul, 5777.
• And the day of the 25th of Elul is the final date of 72 years from the end of WWII, which was over [VJ day] on 24 Elul, 5705.
• The Zohar Balak 212b says that on 25 Elul that will fall on Shabbat, 3 walls of Rome will fall and the process of the coming of Mashiah will begin.  This year, 25 Elul falls on Shabbat.
• The Zohar Vayeira 119a also says that in the year 73, all the kings of the world will gather into the metropolis of Rome and HKB"H will pour upon them fire, hail, stones of Elgavish and they will be destroyed from the world.  That means that after 72 years, when the 73rd year begins, the Gog Umagog War will begin.
• The Milui of שבעים ושלוש without the first letters of each word + the Kollel = 777
• שין בית עין יוד מם ויו שין למד ויו שין
• In other words, the Zohar is saying that this year, after the 72, the 73 of the Gog Umagog War will come with stones of Elgavish.
• The verse
  
  

  כד  מְזֵי רָעָב וּלְחֻמֵי רֶשֶׁף,  {ר}  וְקֶטֶב מְרִירִי;  {ס}  וְשֶׁן-בְּהֵמֹת, אֲשַׁלַּח-בָּם,  {ר}  עִם-חֲמַת, זֹחֲלֵי עָפָר.  {ס}

  24 The wasting of hunger, and the devouring of the fiery bolt, and bitter destruction; and the teeth of beasts will I send upon them, with the venom of crawling things of the dust.

  is the 5776th verse in the Torah. [YY - Note that this count differs slightly from Rabbi Sprecher's count, but is consistent with a count I used in the past.]  5776 is the current year according to Hazal [who start counting Year 1 from when Adam Harishon was born, which we call Year 2].
• The Rashei Teivot of the verse [מ ר ו ר ו מ ו ב א ב ע ח ז ע] equals 658.
• 658 = 588 + 70.    588 is the gematria of מלחמת גוג ומגוג plus the 70 nations who will come to fight therein.
• Dates of world wars breaking out
• WWI broke out on 5 Av, 5674
• WWII broke out on 17 Elul, 5699
• The midpoint of these 2 dates is around 26th of Av.  It's possible that WWIII will break out then since, as Kabbalists know, the third is always the Sod of the middle.
