| Rabbi—Hidden Election Day Message To American Jews: Move To Israel Now, Prepare For Messiah
November 13, 2016 by SkyWatch Editor
Rabbi Yosef Berger, the rabbi of David’s Tomb on Mount Zion, agreed that recent political events were a sign that Jews in America should relocate to Israel, noting he had seen a reference to this in an esoteric teaching in an ancient commentary on this week’s Torah reading. “Within God’s command to Abraham to leave his homeland and come to Israel is a hidden message to Jews in the galut (diaspora) that this year they must do as Abraham did, and come home,” said Rabbi Berger. Rabbi Berger referred to the Baal Haturim, a 13th century Biblical commentator from Cologne. The Baal Haturim explained that the first word of the verse, ‘Lech’ (the command ‘go’) was written twice as a reference to the two diasporas: Egypt and Babylonia. He explained that God showed the future exiles to Abraham in great detail through a prophetic vision. Rabbi Berger used a technique in gematria (Biblical numerology) called kolel, which adds one to the numerical value of each word. In this case, the value of the word ‘Ar’echa’ – “I will show you” – becomes 223. “This year is exactly 223 years until the year 6000, which is the latest possible date the Messiah can come, according to kabbalah,” explained Rabbi Berger. “The door to come home from exile is quickly closing.” (READ MORE) |
