Speaker A

Without a shadow of a doubt, this is Gog and Magog. [music] My guest today is Rabbi Lawrence Haj. For thousands of years, Gog sounded like a prophecy from the distant future. But now, Israel is back in the land. Iran is threatening open war, and the whole world seems one mistake away from an explosion. So, Rabbi Hajio, is this Iran conflict the beginning of Gog?

Speaker A

the whole world seems one mistake away from an explosion. So, Rabbi Hajio, is this Iran conflict the beginning of Gogg? Without a shadow of a doubt, this is Gogam Magog. Make no mistake that Iran is not seeking peace. Iran has a

Speaker A

Without a shadow of a doubt, this is Gog and Magog. Make no mistake that Iran is not seeking peace. Iran has a [music] theological belief that surpasses any form of peace deals or treaties they may pretend to make. But what we're seeing right now is Gog and Magog. And it's a number of nations, but they are being led by Iran,

Speaker A

who is today an Islamist jihadi messianic death cult. That is the how I've always referred to them. Uh my family came from Persia, had been in Persia, Iran for hundreds of years. um they left before the 1979 revolution

Speaker A

who is today an Islamist jihadi messianic death cult. That is how I've always referred to them. My family came from Persia, had been in Persia, Iran for hundreds of years. They left before the 1979 revolution

Speaker A

Ezekiel in chapter 38. First of all, you have to understand that the leaders of Iran, this uh regime are messianic. There is a concept called the 12 Shia Islam. This is the ifa Ashari. And these people believe openly, this is not some secret.

Speaker A

when the Ayatollah took over and implemented this regime that was the birth of Gog and Magog. It's been going on for decades. It's just right now reaching an apex that we're beginning to see it and connect it to the prophecy of

Speaker A

who may or may not ascribe to this, but they are basically proxies of this regime. They believe that the 12th IM, that is the 12th leader after Muhammad did not die. He is alive, has been alive for 1,100 years, is living in Iran,

Speaker A

Ezekiel in chapter 38. First of all, you have to understand that the leaders of Iran, this regime, are messianic. There is a concept called the 12 Shia Islam. This is the Ifa Ashari. And these people believe openly, this is not some secret.

Speaker A

They're waiting for him to return. This isn't reincarnation. They Islam and Christianity do not believe in Gilgal in reincarnation. They believe he's alive and is waiting to reveal himself as the final mei. That is why they're trying to

Speaker A

You can look it up. Your viewers, I encourage you to look this up to become informed in this because everything that's happening in Iran today through all of their proxies, whether it's Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthis, and others

Speaker A

are operating right now, this regime, doesn't mean the people of Iran, be very clear, most of them do not ascribe to this, but that's almost immaterial because they're being controlled by this death cult. They believe that this individual is going to fight against

Speaker A

who may or may not ascribe to this, but they are basically proxies of this regime. They believe that the 12th Imam, that is the 12th leader after Muhammad, did not die. He is alive, has been alive for 1,100 years, is living in Iran,

Speaker A

stir up the Middle East in order to encourage the Medi to reveal himself. This is a 1,100y old individual according to them to stir up trouble.

Speaker A

waiting to reveal himself. This is what they believe. This is their theological postulate. You cannot break this.

Speaker A

Muslim. He may not have been at birth. I think his mother is uh is Hindu and his father or I think they're Gujarati but they became Muslims and he ascribes himself openly as being a twver. So he is aligned theologically,

Speaker A

They're waiting for him to return. This isn't reincarnation. Islam and Christianity do not believe in Gilgal or reincarnation. They believe he's alive and is waiting to reveal himself as the final Mahdi. That is why they're trying to

Speaker A

Israel, whether Apac or not, as being a monster. That fits in perfectly. It is our job as Jews throughout history, let alone right now on the cusp of the messianic revelation, God willing, it should be very soon, and it will be, to

Speaker A

stir up so much trouble. They also believe in the Sufyani, that there's going to be a principal enemy of this final Mahdi, this 12th Imam, who's going to stand against him. And it's their job, the leaders of Iran, the people who

Speaker A

It's all there. So yeah, it is our job and our obligation as Jews throughout the entire world because we're all in gullet. Even the Jews in Israel unfortunately are in gullet as well to plead with God to pray to him that he

Speaker A

are operating right now, this regime, doesn't mean the people of Iran, be very clear, most of them do not ascribe to this, but that's almost immaterial because they're being controlled by this death cult. They believe that this individual is going to fight against

Speaker A

Now what we do in order to encourage the Msiah's arrival is a good question and there we're open to discussion and maybe some dispute. But let's be very clear, it's our job to push the hand in order to arrive to bring Mashiah's arrival. I

Speaker A

them. I personally believe they see that person in Israel, maybe as Netanyahu himself. That's my personal belief and also conversations I've had with various individuals, great scholars of this topic. And that exactly is what they're fighting against. And they're trying to

Speaker A

revelation. We're also praying for a more miraculous one. We don't want him coming like an like a poor person on a donkey who wants the Messiah to turn up like that. We want him coming with with clouds of

Speaker A

stir up the Middle East in order to encourage the Mahdi to reveal himself. This is a 1,100-year-old individual according to them, to stir up trouble.

Speaker A

the hand of Messiah as it were. Do we have the ability to do that? Absolutely.

Speaker A

This has to be understood in order to appreciate that every action they're making, every supposed peace deal they're trying to make with America is all predicated on this idea. I'm going to add over here that Mani is a Shia 12

Speaker A

entire world. Unlike Lahab, the other nations who just see it as their own religion taking control and destroying enemies. We don't want that. That is not the Jewish view. The Jewish view that the entire world will be in peace. It's

Speaker A

Muslim. He may not have been at birth. I think his mother is Hindu and his father, or I think they're Gujarati, but they became Muslims and he ascribes himself openly as being a Twelver. So he is aligned theologically,

Speaker A

right now the uh capital of the Jewish people. So yeah, should we be going up onto Temple Mount? Should we be basing and planning and preparing? Well, these are opinions. I can give you my opinion if you want to hear it. I believe it's

Speaker A

spiritually, psychologically with the leaders of Persia, Iran, who are Gog and Magog. So we have this wolf in sheep's clothing. It doesn't even wear sheep's clothing actually. He's very open about his despising Israel, calling anyone who supports

Speaker A

more beautiful thing now I am sphadic and the majority of the sphadic postkim halaki deciders are not in favor of us going onto temple mass I have not been believe me I am dying to go up there.

Speaker A

Israel, whether AIPAC or not, as being a monster. That fits in perfectly. It is our job as Jews throughout history, let alone right now on the cusp of the messianic revelation, God willing, it should be very soon, and it will be, to

Speaker A

assuming, I know they have certain uh great rabbis that they rely upon. Now, if you did try to build the third temple right now, you would start World War uh 3, four, five, and six. So, there's no doubt about that, Rabbi. Uh so I would

Speaker A

yes, push for Messiah. I mean, look at our prayers. The Amidah, half of it is asking God to expedite the arrival of Messiah. What are we praying for if not the arrival of Messiah?

Speaker A

or archeological eyes. This is something that needs to be shag spoken about all day every day which is what I do. This is something that needs to be in the Jewish conscience and our our lives. So in terms of that absolutely I'm not a

Speaker A

It's all there. So yeah, it is our job and our obligation as Jews throughout the entire world because we're all in galut. Even the Jews in Israel, unfortunately, are in galut as well, to plead with God, to pray to Him that He

Speaker A

will be greater than Moshen. Let's not forget that. But he's going to be a great prophet and a king. And a king's main job is military. And we dare to talk about it. He's going to be a military leader. according to the Rambam

Speaker A

allows the Messiah to come. So to say that we shouldn't be pushing for Messiah is against everything we believe in, against all the prophecies from Moshe Rabbeinu till Maimonides. They all tell us to anticipate, to wait, and to hope and pray for the Messiah.

Speaker A

which was barely spoken about it was always spiritual wars you know and to some degree that is true but even a cursive reading of Tanakh which in the kared yes we never got anyway they tell you very clearly that it's going to be

Speaker A

Now, what we do in order to encourage the Messiah's arrival is a good question, and there we're open to discussion and maybe some dispute. But let's be very clear, it's our job to push the hand in order to arrive, to bring Messiah's arrival. I

Speaker A

what's happening in the Na'vi unfortunately they'll say you want to study Tanakh just read the Gamarra they'll bring up the relevant lines over there this is a a great shame of how ignorant most Jew talking about religious Jews let alone the secular

Speaker A

mean, Isaiah the prophet gave two versions of Messiah's arrival. B'Toishana B'To in his time, Aishana is the more expedited earlier version. And not only are there two different versions, two different ways that he can come, whether with non-miracles or a more miraculous

Speaker A

now steps towards this final revelation, the military um success of our country, of our nation.

Speaker A

revelation. We're also praying for a more miraculous one. We don't want him coming like a poor person on a donkey. We want the Messiah to turn up like that. We want him coming with clouds of

Speaker A

Now, we talk about Msiah coming. I know as a child I always thought this it's like an instant and everyone's got to know immediately. It's a process. You know the the metaphors that are given by our rabbis throughout Mishna Gamarra is

Speaker A

glory, as even Bam picked up on. Even the non-Jewish prophet Bam was very clear that we should be praying for a star to come through the sky in a miraculous fashion. So I would say yes, our job is to pray. It is to force

Speaker A

Right? There's a certain process that happens. We are seeing that gradual process there. It's going to speed up and it's going to move quickly you know I mean the perfect metaphor I like to give rabbi is the purum story right you

Speaker A

the hand of Messiah, as it were. Do we have the ability to do that? Absolutely.

Speaker A

know sympto symbolic of where we are right things can turn around very very quickly yeshua hashem care terifying god can bring us to redemption in the blink of an That is what we are seeing. So while it's taking time and it will take time

Speaker A

The building of the Third Temple is not only the mission of Messiah. It is the proof that he is Messiah. This is his way of showing that he is actually the final redeemer Messiah who's going to come and bring world peace for the

Speaker A

have to deal with. So amalik is its own topic if you will. I mean we're seeing them all over. I mean they are they have no busha now. I mean they have no embarrassment just to raise up their

Speaker A

entire world. Unlike Lahab, the other nations who just see it as their own religion taking control and destroying enemies. We don't want that. That is not the Jewish view. The Jewish view is that the entire world will be in peace. It's

Speaker A

using various proxies who are just are there for their benefit. They don't care about them. You think Iran cares at all about the Palestinians? You think they care about Hezbollah about the Houthis?

Speaker A

not some kind of Jewish supremacy, as many of our haters online like to believe. Everyone is going to feel peace. Everyone is going to feel the beauty and the majesty of Messiah from Zion, from Jerusalem, which will be and is

Speaker A

New York. They're definitely in California. I know that for sure now. So they're everywhere. Rabbi Amalik needs to be everywhere. And Ezekiel 39, the end of Go ends off describing the reason why God made Goumog happen. I think it's mentioned

Speaker A

right now the capital of the Jewish people. So yeah, should we be going up onto Temple Mount? Should we be basing and planning and preparing? Well, these are opinions. I can give you my opinion if you want to hear it. I believe it's

Speaker A

impossible for this to ever take place. Imagine a thousand years ago how long it would have taken or 2,000 years how long ago it took for information to travel around the world that the temple was destroyed. Okay, first of all, when this

Speaker A

I believe it's a kish Hashem that we have this Temple Institute, and they do beautiful work, and I've met a number of them in the past training and learning and treating the ultimate galut as it's about to happen. I can't think of a

Speaker A

it and said it were probably like, "What are you talking about?" Right? You're talking about Edom. But that so there's a very famous and I know you've mentioned this before um and your guests have too the idea of Gog representing

Speaker A

more beautiful thing. Now, I am Sephardic, and the majority of the Sephardic poskim halachic deciders are not in favor of us going onto Temple Mount. I have not been. Believe me, I am dying to go up there.

Speaker A

everything we're discussing everything you have discussed and will discuss until we finally meet Messiah God willing very soon and that is everything that happens in the world happens for the sake of the Jewish people. And when I say that, I don't mean that in a

Speaker A

There's nothing I want more than to go up onto Temple Mount just to walk around the periphery, you know, go to the mikveh, take off my leather shoes, but those people who do it, I believe they're very, very brave. And I'm

Speaker A

So there's no doubt about it. But we are the major shaker and mover in this entire messianic drama. So yeah, the whole thing is happening. Forces are coming against us. This is all part of God's plan, but in the end, it's trying

Speaker A

assuming, I know they have certain great rabbis that they rely upon. Now, if you did try to build the Third Temple right now, you would start World War 3, 4, 5, and 6. So, there's no doubt about that, Rabbi. So I would

Speaker A

Torah and the land of Israel. There are some people, many of them, who we've seen in the past few years have who've suddenly been turned on and felt Jewish pride and a desire to be more observant, taking on Shabbat or to fill in whatever

Speaker A

never encourage such a thing, and that we are putting a lot of people in danger by talking about it and discussing it and sharing the plans and our love and how Temple Mount does belong to us, and whether you look at it from spiritual eyes

Speaker A

So we're seeing that too. So God is using a number of methodologies to bring his children back to him and God willing back to the land of Israel. So what I'm trying to say is that all these events

Speaker A

or archaeological eyes. This is something that needs to be talked about all day, every day, which is what I do. This is something that needs to be in the Jewish conscience and our lives. So in terms of that, absolutely I'm not a

Speaker A

back. And sometimes you can bring them back through, you know, a voice, a call, through a a great awakening, through a nice video. And sometimes you need to do a bit of a a makabatish, you know, to give them the final hammer blow in order

Speaker A

political leader, although Ms

Speaker A

that. But Hashem's got to do what he's got to do, I guess. I personally would rather appreciate it through love and happiness and, you know, uh, singing nice songs, you know, and nice videos.

Speaker A

But that's the way it is. So, the key is over here, my friend, I'm talking to myself as well, of course, is amuna.

Speaker A

This is going to be it. And this is not my opinion. This is a Mishna. A Mishna.

Speaker A

Remember, the Mishna follows the Torah in terms of importance that we learn so much from the Mishna. the end of sot which is such an important you know I go back to it so often there's always nuances I pick up on like I can't

Speaker A

believe the rabbis spoke so clearly about what their descendants will be going through the end of days the Mishna talks about a number of things are going to happen in the world right before what they call Mashiah the footsteps of Msiah

Speaker A

that's a rabbitic term meaning right before Msiah comes maybe it means avish people are trotten down right when they feel down and trodden upon when we see that fight which is right now I mean I don't know in my 54 years of being in

Speaker A

this earth anytime the Jewish people have felt so low and so hurt and so hated and reviled you know so the rabbis talk about this and they list a number of things that the world is going to feel and Israel and Jerusalem of course

Speaker A

whether it's the breakdown of society the family unit the wars in Israel it's all there in this Mishna coded coded into this Mishna. But that Mishna does end in a way which I've never seen any other Mishna finish. It's very unusual

Speaker A

enter Misha as far as I know. And it says that in the end you can't rely on your family. You can't rely on your rabbi because we're going to see tro from the wisdom of the rabbis and leaders is going to be nothing. You

Speaker A

can't rely on your government. You can't rely on the leaders of Israel. You can only rely on Hashem. Hashem is like, I'm throwing it all away. I'm breaking down the entire system. But I need you to come back to me. I need you to tshoua. I

Speaker A

need you to repent. Which, by the way, you can do in a single moment. I just gave a short share recently that went a little viral. People said to me, "How do I do toua?" According to the Rambam,

Speaker A

chapter one of the laws of tshoua repentance, it's not that difficult. You admit you did wrong, you regret it, and you try your best not to do again in the future. You know even if you know full well you may do it just that desire is

Speaker A

what brings us back. It could be that small moment and we know in this gamarra many great individuals Jews and non-Jews who turn their lives around in the final moment. So the mission and says in the end you got no one to rely upon except

Speaker A

your Avenashim your God your father in heaven. That's where all of this is leading. So all these little puppets that we see that that God is controlling, let's go.

Speaker A

Hashem runs the world, you know, throughout the entire world, they're evil and they need to be wiped out, especially Malik. But all of these individuals are nothing to Hashem. He just wants to hear from us. He wants every Jew to come back. He wants He

Speaker A

doesn't want the I hope and I believe he doesn't want the redemption from Egypt where only Kamushima only a fifth 20% of the Jewish people left. He really wants it to be though it's hard to I'm saying these words and I believe them but it's

Speaker A

hard to even understand it. He wants every Jew to come back all of us. He wants us all part of this final this final redemption. I have a lot more to say on that but um I've seen it with my

Speaker A

own eyes. I've seen over the 25 years I've been a rabbi hundreds hundreds of people who've had no connection to Jesus whatsoever. They know nothing. Right?

Speaker A

maybe maybe once a year, you know, and they've turned their their lives around and returned to the true God of Israel. It's a beautiful thing.

Speaker A

It's messianic, you know. I'm going to say something. It's going to it's going to be very controversial, but I think I want to say it. Okay, there's a the end of the Mishna finishes that we have faith.

Speaker A

we have faith. Rabbi Wasman proposes another interpretation that this actually is the biggest curse of the the last generation. He says that the last generation will instead of saying instead of saying let's go do the work ourselves, we're going to fall back on

Speaker A

false faith. Obviously, you're not talking about that false faith, but maybe you could talk about false faith.

Speaker A

Why are they not teaching Tanakh and yeshivas? That's a bigger question. If they do, it's a very cursory way of doing it. I'm I think that they're doing a great disservice. There has to be a shift. I mean, I just finished off a um

Speaker A

I put together a nine-part series on Danielle that I I gave publicly in Manhattan with beautiful crowd. I put it online. It's on YouTube. By the way, I've spoken about this before. Actually, this series I did like a year ago.

Speaker A

I mean, every Yeshiva boy and girl needs to be taught say for Danielle. Everything you need to know about this onesh reward and punishment Israel prophecy dreams you name it right all the exiles we've been through the coming

Speaker A

of Msiah it's all in Daniel it's all in he is just like I would take them from right there like I would skip everything else there you get a beautiful um appreciation for Israel life exile redemption it's all there you know So

Speaker A

there's a lack of education. There's a lot of fear that if we kind of do this, people will become, I don't know, too Zionistic and not love Torah mitzvah, which is ridiculous. But I guess that's their fear. I don't know how to answer

Speaker A

that question in general. Why don't they make a big deal out of it? The general feeling is, which I grew up with in the, you know, religious Yeshivas is just wait and it'll happen. But that's just absurd. When have we ever seen you just

Speaker A

wait and it happens? There has to be some action, some we have to take something and we have to have that vision. I mean the Rambam is the only person in world history who gave us the laws of Msiah, right? Which in and of

Speaker A

itself is unbelievable. But he went out of his way to write it down and put it in there and make it the epicenter of of everything he spoke about. You know he's saying even the Rambam even the Ramom has a

Speaker A

paradox in the Rambam because the Rambam says that we know he's Msiah when he builds the Ba Mikdash but we don't build the B mikdash until Msiah comes. So so what do we do that? I don't know the answer to but I

Speaker A

do know there's going to be a 10th and final paraduma that Mashiach is going to have to bring and the mar speaks about it. So we do have that I it's in Israel right now. We know this. Oh yes I heard

Speaker A

that five of them maybe but I heard wasn't it who came to say that I mean that which means that we are permissible to offer the let's say there was a famous chuva between and his nephew theamur about whether or

Speaker A

not we can start bringing the carbon pes I won't get into the whole thing but the upshot of it was that if we only had the big day kuna we'd be able to do Yeah.

Speaker A

So it seems like this type of talk and even going back to San they wanted to make him go they wanted to make so like this type of talk historically is very kosher people should people say oh we

Speaker A

shouldn't talk but on the flip side rabb you're absolutely right we have suffered with false messiahs I mean let's go back to barbar the garra tells us was tested says the prophet Isaiah he's going to decide things with his with this um

Speaker A

ability to know stuff not with what he sees with his eyes or with his with their ears, right? With what he smells and they tested him and he failed and he was killed right by the Romans. The Jewish the rabbis of the day allowed him

Speaker A

to die and to be killed something they actually did themselves. They didn't but they permitted they took away their protection from him. So we have suffered in gal look we are we have PTSD we have PTMD post-traumatic mashia

Speaker A

disorder you know that's what we're dealing with. So we're saying things that are very raw to the nerve. We're still reeling right from all the full basis but not even the chopped IVs. There's many many more. I hear I must tell you something. I have

Speaker A

spoken about this a couple of times but not too much. I don't know if there's anyone more in America. Maybe there's more in Israel of people who hear from false messes than myself. I get bleeped every single you get. Oh good.

Speaker A

I'm pleased I'm not the only one. So many of them. So many I know it's very easy for us to like foo ah they're all crazy they're all nuts. What are you going to do? I want to share something

Speaker A

with you a little different perspective on this. Maybe this will help us a little bit too rabbi. Maybe they're not crazy. Maybe all these individuals have what we all have. It's just we're on mute, right? You know it's like those

Speaker A

people walking down the street, the end is near. We're all going to die. We're the same as them. We have the same fears. We're just on mute, right?

Speaker A

they're just not able to filter and to put themselves, you know, so they just shout it out.

Speaker A

Maybe we all have the desire that we want to be part of a final redemption.

Speaker A

Maybe all these like I don't watch these movies cuz I find them stupid, but all these like Marvel, Superman, Batman, all this kind of stuff, right? What is that?

Speaker A

They're all based upon the same idea. I want to be the one that saves the world.

Speaker A

So, I've had conversations with some of these people. One of them was actually walking around Israel wearing sackloth outfit with a donkey. And I have friends who are with me at the time. I have a photo with him. And if you talk to him,

Speaker A

okay, obviously they're, you know, a little interesting, but if you have a deep conversation with them, they're like, the world is not right.

Speaker A

We are suffering as a people and I want to be the one to make it right. So although it's a little you know insane but their desire is a good desire they're feeling the conscious consciousness of Mashiach is permeating

Speaker A

the world people feel yeah one person can do one action and fix the entire world you know so everyone's feeling it they're talking about it it's just coming out in a very weird way but we're part of this and let's not forget that

Speaker A

the goyam are too right even the goyam are part of feeling this and we're going to see the end says the Rambam in his words to the Jews of Yemen where we're no longer going to see all these false

Speaker A

religions right that unfortunately the Jewish people have attached themselves to as well back to your original question right the Jewish people are the founders of most of the isms that are around the world you know which are enemies on the far left and the far

Speaker A

right seem to love to jump on right where every ism and every belief there's always a Jew involved which there is but we know that these These are unfortunately Jews have been completely misdirected and misguided and they're in

Speaker A

it for selfish personal financial and other forms of uh desires they fulfill because of it. So yeah. Yeah.

Speaker A

Unfortunately this idea of the Jewish people being benim, we have inside us this desire to see the world a better place, right? The Jewish people feel as though there needs to be a change. The non-Jewish people do as well. They feel

Speaker A

as though the world is not right. something needs something needs to be shaken up in order to restore sanity to this crazy world. We're seeing that today. It's scary. Um, unfortunately, Jewish people are leading a lot of these

Speaker A

things. I mean, how many Jews voted for Mamani? I mean, I haven't seen the the numbers on it, but I'm going to make an assumption. In New York, if this guy became mayor, I mean, I personally know people who did vote for him. I got into

Speaker A

disputes with them, but they they think if you ask them, they don't say, "Oh, I hate being Jewish." They'll be like, "Yeah, he's a good man. He wants the world to be a better place." They will talk like this with full conviction.

Speaker A

They don't understand. They don't see where he's really coming from, what his real desires are, which is to, you know, end Israel and the Jewish people, which he would, if he could wipe out a in a hot minute, he would, right? God forbid.

Speaker A

So, we're all talking about it. It is a collective uh responsibility we need to feel. Everyone is is feeling the ultimate redemption is we're on the doorstep of something very very big. So whether it comes out into you know AI is

Speaker A

going to be the birth of that which it's it is connected to it as well. It's the downfall of society whether it's the ultimate wars going to bring it around.

Speaker A

We're all feeling it. Everyone is feeling this. the return of the Jewish people, the reestablishment of the la of the nationhood, like the Ramban said, part of the mitzvah of Israel is to establish a nationhood. It's to and to redeem the

Speaker A

land. And when the nations of the world are witnessing this, they're reacting. And anti-semitism today, I would argue, is actually no longer what it was 100 years ago. Now it's an association with a land. Now it represents the

Speaker A

fulfillment of prophecy. Now the stakes are higher for on a theological level for Christ and Islam.

Speaker A

Oh yeah. Oh 100%. I mean those people I by the way I could talk about this for hours by the way. So I have a lot to say on this but um Christendom is its own uh challenge and for us a disease right the

Speaker A

um the the popes that we've been seeing lately especially even this one of course is following and towing a line of anti-Israel and I believe anti-Semitic as well. Um there are many followers uh of the original popes um meaning before

Speaker A

the uh the second Vatican um where they have a more quote unquote pure belief.

Speaker A

Tucker Coulson is one of them. Mel Gibson was the one who really started all of this uh this uh insanity as well.

Speaker A

So we're going to see the end of Edom uh as well. Edomishal according to the Babanel are going to fight the final war of Gamma is going to really involve them. They're going to be banging heads which they are right now. Um and we're

Speaker A

going to be watching from the sidelines. You know that's how the Ababanel understands it and he really one of the premier thinkers on the messianic era.

Speaker A

His commentary on civanil is really important many such an important book by the way. Um as a side point I just have to mention you know that I have a very thick book which I've nearly finished called Jerusalem by Simon Sagmon

Speaker A

which is an excellent summary of how we got to this point including on Islam as well. So at the cipher I believe he's a great um nephew of Mosa Montafury anyway he's a brilliant British historian a Jewish man obviously and but he's not

Speaker A

writing from a religious angle at all and he talks about Islam and the rise of Islam starting with Muhammad onwards and he talks about Christendom and how all these things are coming together it's really a triangle over here you know and

Speaker A

we've spoken about it you know the kazal do speak about this um we know that the uh the Torah tells Right? They're talking about he's going to fall upon his brothers. These are the generations of Isaac and the

Speaker A

says at the end of days we're going to see the fall of Ishmael. It's like a seessaw effect and is going to go down and then that's why those two are juxtaposed put next to each other goes down. we're going to go up. And he

Speaker A

says that's a sign that the messianic revelation and redemption is very very close. It's a very important balatur.

Speaker A

It's short, but it's very precise. And so we're going to see that among Ishmael, among the Arab nations, and that's really founded upon that. We said Paras and Persia as Gog and Magog. But you're right, the Christian world also

Speaker A

is coming against us. And we're seeing this rise in that none of us saw. Had you asked me a number of years ago whether someone like Tucker Coulson and his ilk would be speaking against us and against Israel against Jewish people and

Speaker A

they'd be branding a form of anti-semitism I'd be like nah it's it's unbelievable. So seeing Islam rise and hate us via Iran specifically and seeing the Christian world and by the way I believe it's going to get much much worse. You

Speaker A

know, I'm a naturally optimistic person, but I think it's going to get much much worse and the Christian world is going to turn against us. Unfortunately, I spoke to Rabbi Singer and he said that he believes Yesishhal does Chuva at the

Speaker A

end, but Edom doesn't. Yeah, there is a tradition that Yeshal will do based upon Yeshal himself who actually did toua and that's why he was involved in burying Aram uh Ainu his father. It is true. It is true. There

Speaker A

are parts of it. I just want to make a difference over there and Robert Singer is a much greater scholar than I am. But there is a good inside Ishmael. There's a bad inside Ishmael. So um Paras Persia

Speaker A

is the bad of Ishmael. But we're going to see we're going to create much many more alliances among in the in the um Islamic world. Uh that we're going to see them do to Shuva and return to us.

Speaker A

But that's not all of Ishmael. There's also good to right which is Trump. That is the good of Ess. There is also the evil of Essav that we're dealing with as well at the same time. You know, I think

Speaker A

good right now the way things are going. I don't know. I I um you're you're looking at the movie halfway through. You're reading the book. It's not the end. You're you're seeing the beginning of something. There is a plan. It looks

Speaker A

very haphazard. It's a method. It takes time. You can't stop the game. You know, the World Cup is on right now, so I'm following. He can't stop the game halfway, right? One thing you can learn from Argentina against Egypt, Barak

Speaker A

Hashem, is that things can turn around, right, in 12 minutes and you can score three goals against two, Rabbi. It can all if you follow the World Cup, it can all turn around. I'm being very serious.

Speaker A

It can all turn around very, very, very quickly. I believe that yes, Ishmael will do to Shuva, but some of them are going to have to be removed. It's not all of Ishmael that does to Shoua just like it's not all of Esov that wants us

Speaker A

dead. Right? Let's not forget that Jacob and Es did love each other and it's hard for us to see it that way and they hug and they and they meant it. But there has to be a certain excision of the evil

Speaker A

specifically a malik that must come out of first of all of Adam and let's not forget that the borders of Israel are going to be much much larger. Right?

Speaker A

What you're seeing now you this is all part of that. You're going to see the land will actually reach the straight of Hormuz and Euphrates which if you look at it goes way way up there. Remember Abra was promised the land of 10

Speaker A

Canananite nations. We only took seven. We have three more to get. The Ki Kinesis Kadmoni, right? It's it's all coming. My my point is we don't know where this is going. In the end, we're seeing trends. At least we're ahead of

Speaker A

the curve a little bit, right? We're trying to inform people of what we're seeing to give them some kind of context. But um you're going to see this is going to speed up and Donald Trump's third year and here is my prediction.

Speaker A

Wow. Right. What is he just entered? This is my humble opinion. But his third year, right, moving into the end of his presidency, he is going to do radical things. Radical things. And God willing, they're going to be very, very good for

Speaker A

the Jewish people. Amen. a little bit till then, but I really I truly believe that no matter what your political affiliation is, it's almost irrelevant cuz it's going to happen.

Speaker A

There's nothing you can do to stop it. He's going to be that final year of his presidency, that's when, if you look at all past presidents, that's when they really, you know, especially in their second term, come off the chain and uh

Speaker A

make things happen. So, this is all a setup. But let's not forget of course Trump doesn't run the world and the kanis don't run the world bar hashem and even the pope although he has way more power than we you know give him credit

Speaker A

for but the christryendom has a tremendous amount of power it's hashem hashem runs the world hashem wants the best for the Jewish people he wants to bring us back by hook by crook you know and we are going to return we will

Speaker A

return as a people physically god willing very soon to our land but in terms of our belief in Hashem the one true God of Israel god we will see it in a miraculous way. We don't want mundane, right? We don't want the poor inversion.

Speaker A

We want the exciting miraculous version that our prophets speak about, God willing. Amen. That's so beautiful. coming back to coming back to tishabove coming up which hopefully like says the fifth uh the fifth fast will turn into a

Speaker A

celebration and it's ultimately you know go as you said was ultimately the world witnessing the Jewish people being redeemed and and and when they see that they will understand that Hashem runs the world and they will understand that

Speaker A

the Jewish people have a special connection with God and every Jewish person as you said every even non-Jew has a spark inside of them. You know, King David came from Russ says that Khadushim his grandfather says that even Russ who was a non-Jew, a

Speaker A

gentile, a in the field taking out, you know, grains uh and her words ended up becoming Torah. That every person alive, whether you're a Jew or a non-Jew, a Noahide, a Gentile, Islamic, Christian, all people of the world share

Speaker A

a portion of God. Every person has God inside of them. So maybe you could end with uh with a braha to the to the whole world because I think I honestly believe at this point there will be other

Speaker A

nations listening to you. So maybe God willing uh I would say this I would say that we are definitely seeing the final revelation. I believe we see Gog and Magog which will end up with their demise. God willing we're in the process

Speaker A

of it. You can't stop the movie halfway and try to figure out the end. We've got to stick with the program and we have to have a muna and people build that in different ways whether it's to fill

Speaker A

watching these kind of videos that are so important. I know many many people whose only connection and knowledge of this is through this these forms of of of learning and understanding. Everyone has got to um try to bring back some

Speaker A

people to Hashem whether inviting them to your Shabba table you know to the Noahides. I mean they're amazing. Um I wish I I don't have time to do this but I wish that we could really bring together as a unified force because

Speaker A

they're spread out in many communities. I've met many of them. Um they are speaking to them specifically. They are a very important part of this final revelation. Um they're an incredible force for good. Um we see their comments. I know you do too on your

Speaker A

videos as well. Just so heartfelt and so loving and so beautiful. Um, but I'm going to speak to my my Muslim brothers and sisters if they are listening.

Speaker A

We don't want to hurt you. We don't want to see the end of you. We want to see the real Msiah, not the Mahadi, right?

Speaker A

Not some kind of second, you know, coming of Jesus. We want to see the real Messiah come back. And you will benefit from this. You will look back and be like, why didn't we support the Jewish people fight anti-semitism? Right? We

Speaker A

were fools. We were tricked by our evil leader overlords. Okay. So, this is your chance. The window of opportunity is a small window and it's now. So, we ask you to join us in this fight against evil in supporting the Jewish people,

Speaker A

supporting the land of Israel, which is the key element of Messiah's arrival. And with that, you will be blessed and you will be part of that final redemption. It's not just a Jewish redemption like all the other religions.

Speaker A

It's a a worldwide revolution that we are seeing now. But you've got to get on the right team. And you've got to do that now. Whether it's speaking about it, sharing our videos, commenting, you've got to be with a winning team.

Speaker A

Listeners, another thing that uh was mentioned on the show is pick up a camera. If you have YouTube, if you like what we're do talking about, you could easily open up a novi, take out a puk, and just make a video on it. That's what

Speaker A

I did a year ago. And anybody could do this. I'm not more talented than anybody. Anybody could take a camera and teach Torah and teach the world and be there's so many untapped talent in Kalisra. Don't be afraid of it. Do it.

Speaker A

And Hashem loves people who spread his word. Hashem really looks out for those people. So thank you so much. It's such a pleasure to finally u sit down with you. So many people have recommended this. And I kept saying to people what

Speaker A

just send me his number. I'll invite him. And the same day within a few hours we sat down together. I think it was today. It wasn't even a few hours. It was like this meeting that was supposed to happen. So thank you so much.

Speaker A

I enjoy your work so much. God bless you Robert with continued health and success. And uh I would love I have a lot more to say. Hopefully I'll be invited again. Real pleasure.

Speaker A

Yeah. You know, we'll come see you in Bish. I think you have a house. Thank you so much.

Speaker A

I'll be there soon with Rasan. Thank you, my friend.
