The End of Days
A Jewish commentary describing
the End of Days, the Sefer Eliyahu, first published in Salonika in 1743,
describes how the Arab nations will attempt to convert the Jewish nation to
Islam and rewrite Temple
Mount history:
“Israel
will say to the king of the Arabs, ‘Take silver and gold and leave the Temple .’ The king of the
Arabs will say, ‘You have nothing to do with this Temple . …At that time, the
Arabs will say to Israel ,
‘Come and believe in our faith,’ but Israel will answer, ‘We will kill
or be killed, but we will not deny our belief!’ At that time, swords will be
drawn, bows will be strung and arrows will be sent, and many will fall.”
(Pirkei Mashiach, p. 236)
The Sefer Eliyahu describes a war
of faith and religion, of the type being fought today. Sacrifices, or the
modern equivalent, prayer, is at the center of the conflict, as the ancient
book predicts. Today Jews or Christians praying on the Temple Mount
is considered an act of aggression in the international press and a declaration
of war.
Though the recent conflict is violent, Rabbi Yekutiel Yehudah Halberstam, also known as the Klausenberger Rebbe, predicted this conflict with the Arabs after the Six-Day War, almost 40 years ago, and instructed his students on how to be victorious.
“Don’t think that the Arabs will
always run away; Ishmael will return, resiliently strong. Our ultimate war with
him will be a difficult one; we shall not prevail by way of military means…The
Nazis killed my wife and my eleven children. I suffered from them in ways that
defy description. Yet, the Ishmaelites outdo the Nazis when it comes to
cruelty. I shudder to think what will be.”
According to Rabbi Mattityahu
Glazerson, a world-renowned Bible Codes expert, the conflict between the
“sons of Ishmael” and the Jewish nation is clearly spelled out in the
Bible. Citing the rabbinic commentary known as the Pirke de Rebbe Eliezer,
written 100 years before the beginning of Islam, Ishmael will challenge
the Jews in the final days of the messianic era “falsehood will multiply and
truth will be hidden,” precisely in the manner Israel is being challenged today.
It appears that in addition to Biblical prophecies which appear to be being fulfilled many other prophetical writings describe what is happening in
In Quatrain 3:97 Nostradamus also
appears to predict the defeat of Islam; which he refers to as, “The Great
Barbarian Empire” and predicts that it will “crumble”. A recently discovered
“Bible Code” or chain of words found in the Torah by reading equidistantly
spaced letters makes the same prediction and indicates that the date may be the
current Jewish Jubilee year. St Malachy (1095 – 1148) predicted the succession
of Popes from his time until the End Days and believed that the current Pope
would be the last before Judgement.
At the time that I was born Palestine was the
homeland of the Jewish people and even Jews born there were known as Palestinians.
The current concept of “Palestinians” as a separate people was created by
Yassar Arafat (an Egyptian) and did not develop until after 1964. In 1991 Israel granted Arafat’s group self government
but they have never developed their own proper government or infrastructure and
have expended all the effort and funds that could have seen growth and
prosperity into promoting hatred and lies against the Jewish people and Israel .
Current events and attitudes all
appear to have been predicted, not only in the Bible but in the works of many
other prophets. It is logical that hatred and falsehoods do not make a firm
foundation for a lasting civilisation and so it is probable that the
predictions of the crumbling of the barbarian empire could be well founded. The
only real question might be the timing, but based on predictions of a war that
involves Israel being attacked by those from the lands of Gog and Magog (Russia
and Iran) and the increasing involvement of those two nations with Syria the end
time may well be in sight.
These events are part of the
inspiration behind my latest book
which I hope will give people some comfort and
hope for a future of peace.
