And Who Knows?

Rav Fish's latest newsletter notes a couple interesting gematrias:

Esther 4:14:

יד  כִּי אִם-הַחֲרֵשׁ תַּחֲרִישִׁי, בָּעֵת הַזֹּאת--רֶוַח וְהַצָּלָה יַעֲמוֹד לַיְּהוּדִים מִמָּקוֹם אַחֵר, וְאַתְּ וּבֵית-אָבִיךְ תֹּאבֵדוּ; וּמִי יוֹדֵעַ--אִם-לְעֵת כָּזֹאת, הִגַּעַתְּ לַמַּלְכוּת.

14 For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then will relief and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place, but thou and thy father's house will perish; and who knoweth whether thou art not come to royal estate for such a time as this?'

He notes that the gematria of וּמִי יוֹדֵעַ--אִם-לְעֵת כָּזֹאת ("and who knows if for such a time as this") is the gematria of 1115.  This is the same gematria as פורים תשע"ט (Purim 5779).

In other words, on Purim 5779 - הגעת למלכות - we will hopefully reach Hashem's Kingship and the kingship of the House of David.

Rav Fish further notes that the words לְעֵת כָּזֹאת have the gematria of 928, which is the same gematria as פסח תש"פ.  He says that if we have to wait until then (1 year and 1 month later), it may already be too late and that that is not the designated time we will have reached Malchut.  Rather, it needs to be this Purim.

May it be so.
