Everyone wants to see Moshiach now, rather than wait for G-d’s Time Table. And that may be the reason He hasn’t released His Timing to the general population until now. And unequivocally everyone Should be righteous and try to get closer to the Tree-of-Life reality, but…

Not all prayers are at the same level. The Baal Shem Tov spoke of three levels of prayer, the lowest being when we pray for ourselves. In this case, we’re acknowledging that we can’t do it alone, but that we know what’s best for us. The same holds true, though less selfishly, when we pray for others; we’re still trying to manipulate the universe.

The second level is when realize that the lack below is caused because of spiritual actions above and we pray to rectify the Supernal Sources of the imbalances. He further points out that our prayers are really address whether we see the consequences or not and thus when we pray for the desired changes below and for above we can really mess things up and that it’s tantamount to saying we believe and yet we really don’t.

The second level, praying to fill a lack in the Shechinah, can also backfire as it has every time great tzaddiks have tried to bring H’Mashiach (the Messiah) before his time. The example is given of Rabbi Yosef d’LeReina, who in the 15^th century tried such an act and caused the Spanish exile instead,

The highest level, though, is simply to pray that Hashem do as He knows best. You do your best physical efforts and pray that the outcome be whatever Hashem thinks is best for you.

But isn’t this like saying we should prayer for G-d’s Will to be done, when even if we do nothing at all, His Will will be done?

The difference is that when we pray for this, we deeply acknowledge that we don’t have any control over the physicality and that we are severing our selfish desires (known and unknown) from the outcome. We are telling G-d and the universe that we are willing to work hard for His cause, regardless of whatever that cause may be or what it means for us physically. This is such a high level, because by making yourself a foot soldier in G-d’s army instead of appointing yourself a general in your own, you are also making yourself an Angel of the Lord.

Now we just have to ask ourselves, which voice inside ourselves is demanding to be a general. If we can silence it at least when we pray, we may begin to see what the tree-of-life is all about.

Applications are open for foot soldiers.

Later this week, we will be discussing “The Book of the Wars of the Lord,” as it is called in the Torah.

As promised, here is what the Zohar has to say about the End of Days.

In our previous articles, we showed the correlation between what the Zohar says is the final 70 years of the tests of Israel and the 70 year time span from the birth of the nation of Israel in 1948 (5708) and year the tzaddikim have said Moshiach (the Messiah) and the geula (final redemption) are coming, 2018 (5778).

I still owe a full explanation to some of you as to why it’s 70 and not 72 years as mentioned once in the Zohar, but please note that any reference in the Zohar to the number 72, also refers to the 72 Names (triplets) and the Zohar has further explained that the 72 names are really 70 Names, and that moreover, within the 28 digits of the 5 core Torah elements (with their sum) that we’ve been analyzing in our last few articles there is not a single digit of number 2. The final 2 years of the 72 may represent the temporary coexistence of the 2 Trees as described below, but we’ll explore that possibility as we get deeper into the Zohar in subsequent articles.

That said in the next few portions of the Zohar, written 1900 years ago and translated below, Moses and Elijah explain to Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai about what will happen at the time of the final redemption. Essentially, those that connect to the light of the Torah, and thus pass the tests, will enter the tree-of-life reality where the evil inclination was vanquished and where stripped of our selfish desires, we’ll see everything from positive side and thus find joy and pleasure and appreciation in everything and everyone. (This by the way, is our work during the exile, to try to find that same state on our own–or with the help of our faith and holy texts). But as for those that didn’t reach the tree-of-life reality, they will continue under the tree of knowledge of good and evil reality that we’ve been living under for the past few thousand years. In other words, they won’t realize anything has changed, will tell themselves that anyone who believed in the Moshiach (Messiah) was crazy, and be condemned to continue living and dying with their own negativity and selfish desires.

Zohar Portion Naso (Re’aya Meheimna) 91

The spirit of Moses is speaking to Rabbi Shimon about the end of days, explaining that the Tree of Life reality will be available then and for those accessing it, there will be no more Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, meaning no more evil inclination to tempt us with illusory desires and shade our vision so that we don’t realize fulfillment and true happiness:
“The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, prohibition or permission, purity or impurity, will no longer apply to the children of Israel, since our sustenance will be solely from the side of the Tree of Life, where there are no contradictions stemming from the evil side, nor any strife nor difference stemming from the unclean spirit, as written: ‘And also I will cause…the unclean spirit to pass out of the land’ (Zechariyah 13:2).”

In 92, he continues, explaining that those connected to the Torah will be transformed and no longer have to exist within the realm of the exile, where work was harder for them. They will exist is a separate realm, without be plagued by the impurities that made their existence so difficult throughout the ages. This suggests a complete separation, not of perception, but of absolute reality. It’s also suggested they those who do not transform and thus who remain in the impure state will return to their roots and face the snake all over again.

“The Torah scholars will not need to be sustained by the ignorant, just from the good by eating of the clean Kosher and permissible. They will not need to get it from the mixed multitudes, who eat the unclean, unfit, and prohibited, and who are themselves defiled by defiling themselves with..the children of Lilit,..and they return to their roots. About them, it is written: “For out of the serpent’s root shall come forth a viper” (Yeshayah 14:29)”

In 93 and 94, he continues, explaining that for past 5778 years, those that were connected to the Torah (righteousness) were dependant of everyone else, and had to draw their sustenance filtered through the impure world around them, even though they knew better, but once the Tree-of-Life reality arrives, all that will be reversed

“During the period that the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil dominates, that pertains to the purity and impurity of worldly things, these sages—who are similar to the Shabbot and holidays in that they have only what is given to them by the worldly people—are like the Shabbat that has nothing except what was prepared for it during the weekdays.”

“During the time that the Tree-of-life dominates, the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil is subdued. The common people will not have anything except for what the Torah scholars hand out to them and they will be subdued like never before.”
In 95, he explains clearly that when the Mashiach ushers in the Tree-of-Life reality those unconnected to Torah and righteousness will not even realize that anything has changed; they will go on living in their world dominated by and slaves to the illusions of the evil inclination.
“Thus, prohibition and permission, purity and impurity will not pass away from the common people. From their aspect, there will be no apparent difference between the exile and the days of Moshaich [Messiah], except for the oppression of Israel by other kingdoms alone because they will not taste from the Tree-of-Life and they will need to learn (Mishnah), about what is prohibited and permissible, what is unclean and clean. They will be shamed in front of a Torah scholar like darkness before light, since the mixed multitudes are like beasts, who are ignorant, who are darkness and were not even called Israel, just slaves sold to Israel, as was already explained.”
It’s alluded to above that during the time of the split realities the forces of evil, driven by ignorance and desire for what the people of Israel have, they will close in on the nation of Israel, but yet they will be repelled by it as the darkness is repelled by the light.
Then in 98, he continues, referencing as we’ve explained in numerous articles the connection between the arrival of Mashiach (contained within the word Chamushim) and the counting of the Jubilee years (50 year intervals) from 2448 to 5778. He further emphasizes the separation that took place back at Mt Sinai, when the tree-of-life reality was last available to us, and the one that is coming.
“As the Holy One, blessed be He, divided them at Mount Sinai, so he will differentiate them at the last redemption, because it says by Israel: ‘And the children of Israel went up armed (chamushim) out of the land of Egypt’ (Exodus/Shmot 13:18). (Chamushim) meaning from the side of the Tree of Life, which are the fifty [50] years of Jubilee…So he will bring out the Torah scholars with all that honor.”

Then in 99, he continues, explaining and alluding that those not connected to the secrets (sod) of the Torah will face finality within the Tree-of Knowledge and those that do will live within the immortality of the tree-of-life reality, where there is no longer a need to reincarnate in order to correct our souls. He (Moses) is suggesting that those on the side of good begin as soon as possible to delve into and learn the secrets of the Torah—to make themselves Torah scholars—because being good alone is not enough to make the transition.
“It is mentioned by those who are ignorant of Torah yet are of good side: ‘And they stood at the foot of the mountain’ (Shmot 19:17). So will they be at the last redemption, under the torah scholars, like a slave that follows along the horse’s footsteps of his lord. Just as it was called out to them at the foot of the mountain: ‘If you accept the Torah, it is better, but if not, there will be your burial place,’ so he will tell them at the last redemption, ‘If you will accept upon yourselves a Torah scholar during the redemption from the exile like a horse rider with his attendant servant, it is best, and if not, there in exile shall be your burial.”

Bravo! Kudos to Mordechai O. who picked up the the challenge and noticed a profound connection within the 5 core Torah elements that we’ve been discussing in our last two articles (It’s a Beautiful Thing, and Even More Beautiful). I noticed a much more coincidental one considering that the sum of all the digits in those 5 elements equals 109 and that is that we’ve just completed our 109th post.

187 chapters; 670 paragraphs; 304805 letters; 79976 words; 5845 verses

Yes, that too is unplanned destiny, but what Modrechai recalled from one of our much earlier posts is of real significance: It’s that 109 is the gematria of “David H’Melech,” King David.

That is even more significant considering that the midpoint from the 5778 years Adam to Moshiach is the midpoint in King David’s life (2889 HC) and that as Mordechai further pointed out, the sum of the digits in the 5 core quantitative elements divided by 5, in other words their average value, is 21.8, reminiscent of 2018, the year Hebrew year 5778.

What this also means is that the value of “David H’Melech” or 109 also marks the midpoint to 2018 (5778), and that the Divine Calendar was indeed designed into the overall structure of the Torah.

And indeed, following the pattern of halves that Mordechai unearthed for all of us, we find that the square root of the sum of the 5 total elements is 442.426.., or depending how we look at it 4 coupled with 424 (Moshiach Ben David) coupled with 26 with both 4 and 26 being the most basic and common representations of the 4 letters (YHVH) of the Tetragrammaton.

And lets not forget that G-d’s Covenant with Abraham in 2018 HC was called the Covenant of Halves.

There are many many more secrets in these numbers and much more light to be revealed through them, such as the 670 paragraphs divided by the 187 chapters give us an average of 3.5828… paragraphs/chapter with 358 being the numerical value of Mashiach (messiah) and 28 being one of the core/key Torah numbers as revealed in The Genesis Prayer and in Nothing is Random in the Universe. And as Mordechai also pointed out: 28 is the sum of the digits in 391,483, which is the sum of the 5 quantitative core Torah elements.

And as I just realized, 28 + 109, all the digits in the cosmic equation (187 chapters+ 670 paragraphs+304805 letters+ 79976 words+ 5845 verses = 391,483) totals 137, as in the numerical value of kabbalah, meaning “to receive.”

One other quick note to point out is that when in the previous article we separated the digits in the 5 elements into those that correspond to 5778 (5,7 and and all the others, which totaled 67 and 42 respectively, what we left out was that the square root of 67 x 42 is 53.0… and that 53 x 109 = 5777.

Also, in the previous article, we said the sum of the 5 elements divided by 67 (Binah) = 5843, or 2 less than the number of verses 5845, and we asked  why are there 2 missing. We won’t answer that today, but we will point out that the sequence 5843 is the verse of the number of letters in the Torah: 304805 so quite obviously this was extremely intentional on the part of the creator, and all the energy of the Torah derives from Binah.

There are still tons of secrets cloaked within these numbers and a huge amount of light to be revealed, so give it a try, peel back some layers from yourself and the universe, and stare deep into the scaffolding that the Torah was built on, then share the light with the rest of us.

One of the astounding aspects of the Torah is that the deeper you look the more beautiful and awesome it is, even if you’re receiving the same message over and over again in varying ways–like staring into those amazing and colorful digital renditions of fractals. That is because the Torah itself was designed fractally and fractals are naturally occurring phenomenon designed by the same force that created the Torah.

If you doubt that, we challenge you to explain just the few revelation in our last article “It’s a Beautiful Thing!” and which we’re expanding on in this one. So if you haven’t read it yet, should do so now and then read this one.

187 chapters

670 paragraphs

304805 letters

79976 words

5845 verses

There is a very concealed form of gematria that consists of multiplying the numerical values of the letters and dividing it by the sum of them, and as you may recall, that gave us approximately the value 3.14159, or Pi, when we applied it to the Torah’s first verse.

When we take the 18 positive digits of 5 core quantitative Torah elements and the deduct all the components of the year that the tzaddikim have declared for the arrival of Moshiach and the Tree-of-life reality, 5778, which would be the 5’s, 7’s, and 8’s and then apply this rare but most revealing form of gematria, we get:

(1+6+0+3+0+4+0+9+9+6+4) = 42

which is not only the source–the 42-Letter Name–of the entire Torah, but the Name that the tzaddikim have told us to understand in order to bring about the geula (final redemption). And since you’ll recall that the sum of the main 3 elements added up to exactly 5⁸, and the square of that was 625 with .625 being exactly 5/8, it’s not coincidental that 42 = 100-58.

Now while Phi¹⁸ = 5778, in finishing the revealing gematria we find that the product/the sum of those 8 of the 18 digits is:

(1*6*3*4*9*9*6*4)/42=3333

That, of course, leaves us the 10 digits (8+7+7+8+5+7+7+5+8+5) or staring from the end of the list, (5+8+5+7+7+8+5+7+7+8) = 67, the numerical value of Binah, the sefira (dimension) of Understanding.

As you may have noticed there are 670 paragraphs in the Torah, or not coincidentally 10 x 67 (Binah).

And that there are 5845 verses in the Torah, which is 67 more than 5778.

There is even deeper understanding amongst this simple set of digits indelibly encoded into the 5 core and immutable quantitative elements of the Torah, but we’ll leave that for you to discover (and share with all of us) on your own, as the light of discovery burns brightest when you do it on your own, and all these layers of Torah understanding were put there for the sole purpose of allowing us to reveal light into our lives and world.

One other thing the sum of the 5 elements divided by 67 (Binah) = 5843 or 2 less than the number of verses 5845. Obviously they are connected, but why are there 2 missing? I guess G-d has more surprises ahead for us. Help solve the mystery. Someone just asked me why 70 years and not 72 as the Zohar also mentions, and I will answer him more completely after Shabbat, but perhaps part of the answer lies in this mystery.

Shabbat Shalom

Ezra

Last night I was meditating on the simple structure of the Torah, and as readers of the The Genesis Prayer and The Divine Calendar already know the quantitative sum of the Words, Letters, and Verses in the Torah equals 5⁸ (5×5x5×5x5×5x5×5) exactly, which is an amazing phenomenon unto itself, considering that this means that the author of the Torah had to have kept track of each one of those letters, and words, and verses and not misplaced a single one—I had trouble just making sure I had the right number of 5’s in the parenthesis above.

Now, those 5⁸ or 390,625 core elements is not an insignificant number by any means. For one, it is also 625², and 625 is the gematria value of H’Keter (  הכ תר), the crown(ing) dimension. For another of many, 1775 is the numerical value of the sum of the 22 letters of the Hebrew alef-bet when the 5 final letter values are included and 1775 x 22 + 125 = 390,625. According to the Arizal, 125 is representative of Elohim, the Torah’s 3^rd word, whose 5 letters have 120 permutation. It’s also equivalent to 5³.

So thinking about those 5845 verses, 304805 letters and 79975 (sometimes 79976 depending on how you look at a single letter word) letters, I realized there was beautiful puzzle concealed within the numbers that only gematria could bring to life.

If we sum up the digits in the 5845 verses, we get 5+8+4+5 = 22, which corresponds to the 22^nd letter, Tav (T, ת).

If we sum up the digits in the 304805 letters, we get 3+4+8+5 = 20, which corresponds to the 20^th letter, Resh (R, ר)

Now if we also sum up the digits in the 79975 words, we get 7+9+9+7+5 = 37, which corresponds to the 37^th letter, which is Yud (Y,י) when using cyclical gematria.

What this gives us is Tav (T, ת), Resh (R, ר) and Yud (Y,י), which together have the gematria of 610 and if we add 1 for the kolel we get 611, the gematria value of Torah (TVRH, תורה ). But since the gematria milui (spelled out) values of the letters Vav (VYV) is 22 and He (HY) is 15 respectively, they are together 22 + 15 = 37, and thus we find that the letters encoded in the quantitative core elements of the Torah spell out the word Torah (TVRH,תורה ).

This is amazing unto itself, but, as mentioned earlier, we can also calculate the total number of words in the Torah as 79,976, which is also 80,000-(3×8 or .03%). And when we use 79,976 words as a standard, we get 7+9+9+7+6 = 38, which is apropos given the equation just demonstrated, but it also corresponds to the 38^th letter, which is Caf (C,כ) when using cyclical gematria.

And thus when considering 79,976 words, we find that the letters encoded in the quantitative core elements of the Torah spell out CTR (Keter, כ תר), of numerical value 620.

And by the way, the ordinal value of those letters, which was dictated by sum of the digits in the 3 quantitative elements was 38 + 22 + 20 = 80, as in the 80,000 words less .03%) contained in the Torah.

It’s a beautiful thing that we’ve been given, no less than perfect in every way, like the light itself. Once we understand that, we’ll have the necessary awe to understand everything and the secrets will no longer be secrets, but merits.

I’ll be posting an article shortly into an incite I had last night on the Torah’s structure, but if you haven’t subscribed to the Daily Zohar yet, this is what you missed in your in box this morning, except that the email also included the original Aramaic for you to make a visual connection with:
פתח את יודך ומשביע לכל חי רצון, “Open your hands and bring beneficent to all living desire”. The  Holy Ari explains about verse from Psalms that when you change the “Nikud” (Vowels) on the word hands it reveals the word “your Yods י”.

The letter sequence that represent connection of the Light of the Creator between upper and lower, judgment אדני and Mercy יהוה, forms  יאהדונהי.

When we open the  sequence and take the two י, we have numerical value of twenty same as the small Gematria of פתח and that connects us to the Light of Keter of Chokmah. The middle six letters, אהדונה, are according to the Ari connect to Yesod, which is the gate and channel of Light to Malchut.

The sequence  יאהדונהי, is known as the Amen sequence, that by mating together the revealed force of this world of judgment with the supernal name that represent mercy, the Light flows down. We are not allowed to pronounce this name, just scan it with our eyes.

To add the aspect of Mercy in a person’s life he can merge the higher name יהוה with his name.

For example for the name שמעון the combination will be ישהמועהון. For the name שרה will be ישהרוהה.

Meditating on this combination will inject mercy into the name and soul of the person.

Have patience, the Zohar’s descriptions of the end times will be coming soon, and long before the end of days actually gets here, and they won’t really be an end to our days, but more like a beginning, if we’d only let G-d in.

We will soon be revealing the “Sword of Moses,” another tool concealed within the Torah, but one that will remain sheathed until the days of Moshiach draw nearer. Even so, we want to discuss the use of spiritual tools in general and Moses’ most powerful one.

Moses had all the tools of he universe and he knew all the secrets of creation, so why, when it came to healing his sister, did he chose to supplicate to G-d instead?

Moses understood, as it says in the Torah, Devarim 4:35 “..He is G-d; there is none else beside Him,” that by removing himself (his ego) Moses would open up all the possibilities of G-d to perform His miracles. He made the space for G-d to enter.

As explained in The Genesis Prayer, one of the reasons that the Ana B’koach (42-Letter Name) works for us is that by using it and we’re admitting that we don’t control everything and that we need G-d’s help. Make the space for g-d to enter.

When Moses recited the 11-letter sequence El Na ReFa Na Lah (EL NE RGE NE LH), which happens to be embedded in the 42-Letter Sword of Moses, he pleaded with G-d twice to heal his sister, and in so doing he let G-d in, but he also gave us a path to follow.

It’s a doubly wonderful path because on it he gave us a powerful sequence for us to recite when we supplicate G-d to help someone who needs healing El Na ReFa Na Lah (EL NE RGE NE LH), and because it served as a model to emulate whenever we need help. This healing sequence, in case you’re not familiar with it, is sung as part of “Yedid Nefesh” at the 3^rd meal of Shabbat, Saturday evening, a special time of goodwill.

Yes, we need to strive to make the most of our lives, to know the ways of Hashem as deeply as we can, and to transform our selfish reactive nature as best we can, but then we need to let go and to admit to ourselves that we are nothing. It’s then that we can receive everything, all the wondrous effects of the tree-of-life reality, life without limitations.

We all understand that we want to be one with G-d and the universe, one soul, but look around you; there are a billion other souls that you are barely connected to, if at all,. There are places in your town you will never visit, let alone on the planet, solar system, galaxy, universe, parallel universes, so how can we ever hope to be one with it all. It’s nearly impossible with our spouses, kids, siblings, and teachers.

We stand on this earth, look around ourselves, look off into space, into the endless universe and choose to become one with it by making ourselves bigger. We consciously, or subconsciously, think that we can become one with it by filling it up with ourselves, our desires, our knowledge, our importance, and our influence. That’s our ego, and some of us fill it much more than others, but still it’s a tiny drop in a huge bucket.

Now, let’s look at ourselves as Moses did, from the universe’s point of view. Look how small, inconsequential, we really are. Wouldn’t it be much simpler to reduce ourselves (shrink our egos) the rest of that very short way to nothing, and thus join the universe as one; after all we are so much closer in size to nothing than to everything.

Moses, knew that, the Baal Shem Tov and many other great tzaddikim knew that. That’s why miracles entered their lives and actions. Because they took their ego out of the picture and let the universe (G-d) do the work.

We’re not saying removing our ego is easy. It’s the hardest thing, but it’s still a lot easier than trying to be G-d. And what makes it so hard is our own inconsequential size within the universe; we want to hold onto that ego as a form of protection. That was the fig leafs that Adam grabbed for when he was deprived of the tree-of-life in Gan Eden and forced to live the tree-of-knowledge reality. Ego is much more than a drive to put our name on tall buildings-that at least is constructive ego-but it’s also ego when we cling to our secrets, when we don’t trust one another, when we want to be left alone, when we’re feeling guilty.

Ego is the clothes that Adam and Eve donned when the fiery sword blocked to path to the garden. We’ll unlock the mysteries of the sword, not because of our knowledge, but because that’s what G-d wants for us, but first, we must shed our clothes (metaphorically), our egos. It’s time to let G-d be G-d and to stop trying to block Him out of our lives.

When the Torah said, G’d made man in His image, it didn’t say He made clones. Think of a image as we know it today, it’s made of thousands of pixels. If we all play our roles as pixels, let the light guide us and shine through us, the image will appear, and the word for image (zelem) has the same gematria as that for tree (etz), as in the tree-of-life, which is what will appear once we get out of our own way.

We promised that we’d explain and highlight what the Zohar says will happen in the so-called “end of days” and we will soon. But first, we want to cover the timing again because some people seem be hung up on that, and doubts plays right into the hands of the evil inclination, distracting us. And I’m not referring to the comment we received regarding the 66.5 year period, which we’ll explain below.

For those awakening to the tree-of-life reality it will come in the appropriate moment, no matter what, and for those waiting for that moment to awaken themselves, the tree-of-knowledge reality that they are currently experiencing will continue and the date/moment will come and go unnoticed. Life will simply go on.

It is like someone who doesn’t celebrate Shavuot, if they don’t know it exists, the cosmic window and energy downloadable on it will come and go unseen–a missed by unnoticed opportunity. Or even someone who bought a lottery ticket, won, but never checked the numbers; they wanted hope, not help.

If you’re awake, you know you need help and also need to help yourself (spiritually). The idea is to prepare ourselves now, and thus tune our consciousness into receiving the tree-of-life reality when it comes.

That said, we want to hopefully clear up some of the confusion of the timing for the geula (final redemption) and according to the Zohar it is supposed to come in stages, but since G-d isn’t going to drop flyers from the sky advising when they’ve come and gone, people are looking for the exact timing of them. Unfortunately, if we get hung up on the timing rather than on our personal transformation, we won’t be in a spiritual place to see/feel the changing of the stages and thus will be opening ourselves up to our old scourge Amelak (analogous to doubt).

From the Ramchal’s Ma’amar Hageulah:

“It should be known, that the redemption has two appointed stages. We find this in the redemption from Egypt and in the redemption from Babylon, and it is known to us that it will be so in the future…. Regarding these two appointed times…the first stage…is called ’safeguarding’ (Pekidah)…the second stage…is called ‘recollection’ (zechirah).”

Now, in assigning dates to this, some people are using the portion of the Zohar Parashat Vayera (1:119a) as reference:

“And I have remembered My covenant with Yaacov” (Vayikra 26). Yaacov is written here in its full form [with a Vav(V)]. Why?… This verse refers to Israel’s exile. When they are in the midst of that exile, they will be Recalled in the mystery of the Vav, in the 6th Millennium.”

This recall is what is often referred to as the Pekidah, a partial redemption, that is often associated with Moshiach Ben Yoseph. Now, this is interesting because as I’ve learned from my teacher, the time of Moshiach Ben Yoseph ended in 1973 and from then on battles would not be won by might but by love as in the energy of Moshaich Ben David. The Vav (V) referred to in the Zohar passage above is known to analogous to the Vav (V) of the Tetragramamton (YHVH) and most specifically to the Zeir Anpin aspect of the Tetragramamton, M”H (YVD HE VEV HE) which has the numerical value of 45. And if we add 45 years as hinted at by the Zohar to 1973 we get 2018 or 5778, when Rav Ashlag (HaSulam) and the Tzaddikim have advised us the geula would come (See the Divine Calendar for details).

This Zohar scction continues: “This Recollection [Pekidah] will take place in the mystery of Vav-Aleph-Vav [as explained above, the spelled out letter Vav. It will last for a period of 6 1/2 moments. after 60 years of the 6th Millennium have passed."

So let's look at this, some scholars calculate that the gematria of V-E-V is 13 and 6 ½ is half of 13, and since 13 is the numerical value of Ahava, love, this fits in nicely with what we've expressed above. But 60 years plus 6 moments (years) plus 6 months (half a moment/years) is equivalent to 66.6 and 66.6 jubilee years from the reception of the Torah at Sinai and the first opportunity for the geula in 2448 is also 5778.

Nevertheless, if we take it as 66.5 years as many people do, we see that 66.5 years after Israel became a nation is exactly 42 months prior to 5778, bringing up the relationship between the understanding of the 42-Letter Name and the time frame of Moshiach and the geula that the tzaddikim have stated will coincide.

The Zohar passage continues: "...At that time, the G-d of Heaven will arise to Recall [Pekidah] the Daughter of Jacob [the Shechinah and the Nation of Israel].”

Does this refer to the birth of the nation of Israel in 1948 (5708)?

“From that time [of Pekidah] till Zechirah [full Remembrance, full Redemption, Mashiach ben David], 6 1/2 years will pass. After that, another 6 years will pass.”

Some total this as 12 ½ years, but knowing how fluid expressions of time are in Kabbalah 6 1/2 plus 6 could easily refer to the “moments” described above and thus 6 equals half a moment and there would be a total of 7 moments or 7 decades, and 7 decades hence from the birth of Israel is 5778 (2018 CE).

The passage concludes: “…At that time, all the nations shall unite together against the Daughter of Jacob in order to annihilate her from the world. Concerning that time it is written, “It will be a time of crisis for Jacob, but he shall be saved from it” (Jeremiah 30:7).

With Obama’s stance and speech before the pyramids of Egypt is there much doubt that this could easily happen in the term of our 45^th President, which is at the end of the Vav of Jacob, of gematria value 45 as discussed above?

Right now, he is the 44^th President, and as we’ve discussed in several articles, 44 corresponds to the ordinal value of the initials of the 10 plagues (whose standard gematria value is 541, that of Israel) and also to the value of the first plague (Dam, blood), which were sent to awaken us 66.6 jubilee years ago.

In the Zohar Pinchas, section 733 in the Ra’aya Meheimna, dictated by the spirit of Moshe Rabbeinu, we learn that the rod that controlled the 10 plagues was the vav (V) of the YHVH and specifically the YVD HE VEV HE of numerical value 45, so it makes perfect sense that Barack Obama, the leader of the exiled world, would read from the Koran and address the Moslem world from the place of the plagues, making known to them how he feels about Israel.

This is not meant to be an indictment on our President or his policies; we’re only pointing out the cosmic synergies around the events.

Now, some have calculated, including R’ Elchonon Wasserman-” This time is called עקבתא דמשיחא – time…preparation for the time of the Mashiah. Then, he said it has to take 70 years. עקבתא דמשיחא has to take 70 years. Preparation for him has to be done…for 70 years”-that the 70-year period began with WW II and have come up with the year 2009. And as we know since this past Pesach of 2009, the energy of Moshiach has been upon us and more so with the arrival of Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai on Lag B’omer (see the related articles for details), so in an sense they are correct too. And it’s interesting to note that 42 months from this past Shavuot 2009 is the infamous date of 12/21/2012 that so many people are waiting for. Again, playing into the hands of doubt when nothing more physical happens than the beginning of the final 6 years period as ordained by the Zohar.

Regarding R’ Elchonon Wasserman statement, someone posted anonymously that they heard the following in a speech by their Rabbi that “The Vilna Gaon writes that there are 70 words in לדוד מזמור למנצח, which talk about the Yidden davening to Hashem to help them at a time of despair, corresponds to the “70 years of chevlai mashiach.” These seventy years will immediately take place after a big change in Klal Yisroel. After seeing the devastation caused by World War I the Chofetz Chaim said that the 70 years began at that time. He based it on the fact that in Europe Klal Yisroel used to look up to Rav and made a concerted effort to emulate the great authorities in Klal Yisroel. They had greater level of התורה כבוד than nowadays. Unfortunately, after World War I that attitude changed. After seeing the much greater devastation of World War II, Rabbi Elchonon Wasserman commented that the 70 years indeed started from World War II.”

So whether that began when WWII began or when it ended with the birth of Israel is open to interpretation to some and as we’ve seen both are correct in their own way, yet only 70 years hence from the birth of Israel coincides with the year 2018 CE, which in turn coincides with G-d’s Covenant with Abraham in 2018 HC, the “Covenant of Halves.”

Whenever we believe the force of Moshiach to manifest itself in our physical world, we must prepare ourselves now. Only in that way will we able to not only receive it, but perceive it.

We’ve often correlated the 70 years from the founding if the nation of Israel in 5708 (1948 CE) to the year the tzaddkim have predicted for the Moshiach and geula (final redemption) in 5778 (2018 CE) and have explained why 1000 different ways in The Divine Calendar and our articles. But here we find in the Introduction to the Tikunei Zohar, Hebrew Hasulam #222, written by Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai nearly 1900 years ago a similar reference to the final 70 years:

“And this is the test that the Israelites will go through in the seventy years [70] of the last exile. Since a poor man is considered as dead and when his money or property is taken away from him, it is like they take is body and soul, as they are all at has the same weight.

Whatever that he likes should be let go for the love to his master. At that time he connects to the word love אהבה, which is Bereshit, בראשית, and it is like the world was created for him.”

Note, that Rabbi Shimon was writing this at the start of the last exile, which Rav Yedhua Halevi Ashlag determined to be 1948 years long, analogous to the birth date of Israel in 1948 CE and of Abraham in 1948 HC as explained in The Divine Calendar.

And before we reveal what else the Zohar has to say about the days of Mashiach and the geula, let’s note the section of the Tikunei Zohar that contained the secret of the 70 years was 222 as in 6000 – 222 = 5778.

In the Zohar portion of Naso, there is sub-portion dictated to Rabbi Shimon by the spirit of Moshe Rabbeinu (Ra’ya Meheimna). The first part of the discussion is about the Torah’s test of drinking the specially prepared waters to determine whether a woman is unfaithful, and how if she was she will die from the bitter water and if not, she will give birth to a boy because of the sweetened water, and it segues right into:

89. “In the same manner, Israel will be tested in the last redemption. This is what is meant by: ‘Many shall purify themselves, and make themselves white” (Daniel 12:10), who are from the good side and who pass the test. ‘But the wicked shall do wickedly’ (Ibid.), because they are from the Evil Side and by them, it will be fulfilled: “Neither shall they enter into the land of Israel’ (Yechezkel 13:9). And He kills them.”

So the exile is being presented to us as a test of faith. and in the very next section we are told that after the final redemption will be the tree-of-life reality (Binah) and that those that connect to the Zohar will be spared the final tests of faith because they understand (Binah = Understanding).

90. “‘But the wise shall understand’ (Daniel 12:10), since they are from the side of Binah, which is the Tree of Life. For them, it was said, ‘And they who are wise shine like the brightest of the firmament’ (Ibid.) with your composition, which is the book of the Zorah, from the light of the supernal; Ima repentance, They do not require a test and, because the children of Israel in the future will taste from the Tree of Life, which is the book of the Zohar, they will leave exile with mercy. It will hold true about them that ’so Hashem did lead him, and there was no strange EL with him’ (Devarim 32:12)”

To be continued with the Zohar’s explanations of what specifically will happen at the end of days, at the end of the 70 years, when the final redemption hits…

The financial markets keep aligning with the Jewish holidays.

A couple days prior to Shavuot, we advised everyone to meditate on the last line of the Ana B’koach (the 42-Letter Name) as part of their Shavuot kavanot, and we explained why.

שקו צית

And we and others have pointed out for all of us that the numbers of the various (almost always the Dow) US stock exchanges have significant numerical alignments on the day of or erev (evening before) the holidays beginning with erev Rosh Hashanah 5769 when the Dow fell 777.77 pts.

So is it also a coincidence that the last line of the 42-Letter name has the numerical value of 906 and the S & P closed at 906.13 on erev Shavuot? And, of course, 13 is the gematria of Ahava (love) and 613 is the number of Mitzvot (precepts) in the Torah that we receive on Shavuot.

That was an encouraging sign for me, but I wanted to know if there was anything else, maybe with the Dow that happened on Shavuot. But my newspaper mysteriously wasn’t delivered on Shavuot and my newspaper the day before arrived soaking wet in the rain.  It kept me from being distracted, and after Shabbat I found the soaking wet paper that I’d set aside to dry and also found that the day before Shavuot 5769:

The S & P fell 17.3 pts

The Dow fell 173 pts, closing at 8300.0

The Nasdaq closed at 1731.08

173 is the small gematria value of the 42-Letter Name from which the entire Torah is derived.

The Zohar tells us Moses received 173 keys to Heaven; so we take this as a pretty good sign for us this Shavuot, and we know where our focus needs to be.  The sages have already told us many years ago that it is through the understanding of the 42-Letter Name that the Geula (final redemption) will come.

If the financial markets could pause and make room for the 42-Letter Name, we need to do it as well.  Why these alignments with the stock exchanges? Maybe G-d wants to show us from where our sustenance really derives and maybe it because a billion eyes are on these closing numbers and only a few thousand stayed up all night to receive the Torah and light of Mashiach on Shavuot this year.

If any of this is new to you, you should begin by reading The Genesis Prayer the first book ever that explained the 42-Letter Name and The Divine Calendar, the book that puts the final redemption, coming of Moshiach and end of days in historic and concrete perspective.

In our next article, we’re going to cover what the Zohar has to say about what will happen when Moshiach arrives and the final redemption occurs, and when the Tikunei Zohar specifically says it will occur.
