Is Hanukkah Ripe for the Messiah? New Bible Codes Suggest World Entering Auspicious Time

By Rivkah Lambert Adler December 6, 2015 BREAKING ISRAEL NEWS

“Every commandment that I command you this day you shall keep to do, that you may live and multiply, and come and possess the land that the Lord swore to your forefathers.” (Deuteronomy 8:1)

Two Bible Code videos, both released on October 26, 2015, suggest that certain times are particularly auspicious for the arrival of the Messiah. Two of those potential times are the upcoming Jewish holidays of Hanukkah, which begins at sunset on December 6, and Purim, which takes place in March 2016.

A critically important message of many of the Bible Code videos, including this one from Sukkot, is that the timing of the Messiah’s arrival is dependent on the Jews fulfilling the word of God, by keeping God’s Biblical commandments.

In other words, whenever Bible Codes refer to a possible date for the coming of the Messiah, it isn’t a prophecy. Its occurrence is very much dependant on repentance and on the Jewish people strengthening their belief in God.

The call for repentance in preparation for the Messiah is being heard from an increasing number of sources in the Jewish world. For example, repentance is the central theme of every Heavenly message received by Rabbi Amram Vaknin, including the most recent one reported by Breaking Israel News. Another voice calling for repentance is Rabbi Alon Anava, a former Jewish atheist who came close to God and became an Orthodox rabbi after he had a near death experience.

The urgency of messages calling for repentance is based partially on the Jewish belief that once the Messiah arrives, the option to repent will cease to exist. Thus, as the Messiah’s appearance draws closer, the window of opportunity to repent begins to close.

Repentance and Hanukkah

In the longer of the two videos that suggest auspicious dates for the Messiah to arrive, Rabbi Mattityahu Glazerson, an international expert on Bible Codes, reviews a table that includes Bible Codes embedded in the Books of Numbers and Deuteronomy. Glazerson points out where the words Moshiach (Messiah) and Hanukkah appear together. Hanukkah, also known as the Festival of Lights, occurs in the winter, close to the winter solstice, when the days are short.

When speaking about the possibility of Messiah at Hanukkah time, Glazerson emphasizes the importance of the code b’teshuva (with repentance) which is spelled out by counting every eighth letter. Like Vaknin and Anava, Glazerson dwells on the necessity for repentance extensively in this video, quoting Maimonides, the eminent 12th century Jewish philosopher and Torah scholar.

“And Israel will only be redeemed [from their current exile] through repentance.” – Maimonides, Laws of Understanding 

In the video, Glazerson points out the Hebrew letters that stand for 5776, which is the current year in the Hebrew calendar, and the words “Ben Yishai” (Son of Jesse) and David, both clear references to “Moshiach ben David” (Messiah, son of David).

At the end of the first video, Glazerson reiterates the need for the Jewish people to keep all the commandments of the Torah. Speaking to Breaking Israel News, Glazerson explained, “These [dates that are found in Bible Codes] are dates destined for Mashiach (Messiah), but if the condition of repentance is missing, it [his arrival] will be delayed to another appropriate date.”

The Purim Messiah?

The second, shorter Bible Codes video mentions the Jewish holiday of Purim as another possible date for the arrival of the Messiah. Purim celebrates the salvation of the Jewish people from Haman, who planned to kill all the Jews in ancient Persia, as told in the Biblical Book of Esther

Although, as mentioned, Glazerson routinely emphasizes the importance of repentance as a condition of the Messiah coming on any date mentioned in Bible Codes, the Purim Messiah table is different. Intriguingly, he remarked to Breaking Israel News that, in the Purim table, there is no clear mention of repentance. “Maybe this time, things will bring [us] to a situation that Mashiach will come [regardless of our behavior],” he said.

The Purim video opens with a quote from Rabbi Shimon Dahan, an Israeli expert in Judaism’s mystical tradition. Glazerson quotes Dahan as saying, “Something great and joyful is going to happen on Purim.”

The most significant finding in this second table are the words HaMoshiach Purim (the Messiah  Purim) appearing in a column together. This Bible Code, linking the Messiah and Purim, was found by counting every 5776th letter. This is meaningful because 5776 is the current year in the Hebrew calendar.

To strengthen the connection, the letters that spell out 5776 in Hebrew also appear in this table near the HaMoshiach Purim column. The Hebrew word that means “this is the time” also appears, to the right of the HaMoshiach Purim column.

As described In the Book of Esther, Queen Esther led the Jewish people in repentance. It was this repentance that saved them from the genocidal plotting of Haman. The Hebrew word for salvation also appears in this table in two different grammatical forms, again connecting repentance to salvation.

Finally, Glazerson points out the similar sound of Haman, the villain of the Book of Esther who is ultimately defeated by the Jews and Khamenei, the current Ayatollah of Iran, who has publicly threatened Israel’s future.

Genesis Bible Codes: “End of Ishmael” May Happen This Year - BIN

Genesis Bible Codes: “End of Ishmael” May Happen This Year

By Rivkah Lambert Adler October 21, 2015 BREAKING ISRAEL NEWS

“And the angel of the Lord said to her, ‘Behold, you will conceive and bear a son, and you shall name him Ishmael, for the Lord has heard your affliction. And he will be a wild donkey of a man; his hand will be upon all, and everyone’s hand upon him, and before all his brothers he will dwell.’” (Genesis 16:11-12)

A new Bible Codes revelation suggests that this could be the year in which the world witnesses the end of Islamic terror.

Ishmael, the first-born son of Abraham, is an important prophet in Islam. Muslims consider Ishmael an ancestor of Muhammad specifically, as well as the ancestor of several important Arab tribes. Although there are Arab Christians and non-Arab Muslims, in general, Judaism considers Ishmael to be the father of Islam.

Despite the fact that it can be tricky to define which nations today are descended from Ishmael, especially in the case of Iran, Rabbi Mattityahu Glazerson, a renowned Bible Codes expert, told Breaking Israel News that, when it comes to Bible Codes, any mention of “Ishmael is basically Islam, so Iran also is included.” He also mentions that “many [Jewish rabbinic] commentators say that in Ishmael today, there many, many nations, as mentioned in Psalm 83.”

The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Hagrites. Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek, Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre. Also Assyria joined them; they were the arm of the children of Lot forever. (Psalms 83:7-9)

Analyzing a Bible Codes table from the Book of Genesis, Glazerson points out that the Hebrew words “tome Yishmael,” which means the end of Ishmael, appear next to the Hebrew letters that refer to the current year in the Hebrew calendar.

Surrounding “tome Yishmael” are Bible Codes for related keywords, including terror, Moshiach (Messiah), “etz tzarah” (time of trouble), enemy, Amalek (the Biblical enemy of the Jewish people) and teshuva (repentance).

According to Glazerson, this Bible Codes table associates the end of Islamic terror and widespread repentance of the Jewish nation with this year. Quoting a commentary from the Jewish scholar known as the Ba’al ha-Turim, Rabbi Jacob ben Asher, who was born in Germany 700 years ago, Glazerson says, “When Ishmael will fall in the end of days, Mashiach ben David (Messiah son of David) will flourish.”

In a related Bible Codes video, Glazerson quotes the Pirke de Rebbe Eliezer, a rabbinic commentary written approximately 1,500 years ago. At least 100 years before the founding of Islam, Pirke de Rebbe Eliezer related a prophecy about 15 ways the Children of Islam are going to vex Israel at the End of Days.

According to Glazerson, everything that’s written there is really happening. On the list of 15 afflictions that the Children of Ishmael will impose upon the Jewish people is the prediction that they will build a building on the Temple Mount, which they did with the establishment of the Al Aqsa mosque in the 8th century. Another of the 15 ways the Children of Ishmael will cause trouble to the Jewish people is that “falsehood will multiply and truth will be hidden”. 

The Bible Codes expert points out something that he says does not appear anywhere else in Bible Codes. Like a crossword puzzle, we find the words that mean “Ishmael lies” in a vertical column that meets with the words “to Israel” which appear horizontally, along with the Hebrew letters that refer to this year in the Hebrew calendar.

The implication is that this will be the year that the lies coming from the Children of Ishmael will increase. This is especially interesting considering that the PA is now claiming that the Western Wall, arguably Israel’s holiest site, belongs to them.

Today’s Messianic War Over Jerusalem Predicted Thousands of Years Ago

By Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz October 23, 2015 BREAKING ISRAEL NEWS

“Then he said to me, ‘This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel saying, “Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,” says the Lord.’ ” (Zechariah 4:6)

One of the most troubling aspects of the recent violence and terror in Israel is the battle between truth and lies. Lies against Israel are easily accepted in every form and majority of forums, including major news outlets and governments. However, one of the most disturbing claims are those denying the existence of the Jewish Temples and the Jewish nation’s connection to the holy site.

As worrying as this claim is, the current developments against Israel were anticipated thousands of years ago in the Jewish mystical text called the Zohar as part of the End of Days process:

“…The descendents of Ishmael will go up at that time (End of Days) with the nations of the world against Jerusalem…” (Zohar 1:119a)

The Jewish Temples were, until now, a universal truth chronicled in the Jewish Bible, the Koran and the New Testament. Nonetheless, the Jewish claim of a historical connection to their holiest site is being denied in mainstream press and in the international political arena.

The New York Times recently published an article that claimed there is no corroborative archaeological evidence to substantiate Jewish claims of Temples on the Temple Mount. To deny this would seem incredible. However, in an almost close call, a recently shot down proposal at the UN sought to cancel out all Jewish claims to the Temple Mount by Arab nations, including the Palestinians.

While the Temple Mount was not wrested away from Israel, a UN commission declared the Cave of the Patriarchs in Hebron and the Tomb of Rachel in Bethlehem as Muslim holy sites. Such a move is nothing less than an unprecedented attempt to rewrite history. Similarly, France has made a proposal to the UN for an international force on the Temple Mount, also cancelling out Jewish claims.

In a separate 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. However, if you want, choose a sacrifice as you did in the past, and we will also offer a sacrifice, and with the one whose sacrifice is accepted, we will all become one people.’ The Jewish people will offer theirs, but it will not be accepted because the Satan will lay charges against them before The Holy One, Blessed is He. The descendants of Kedar will offer theirs, and it will be accepted…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 process through “falsehood [which] will multiply and truth will be hidden,” precisely in the manner Israel is being challenged today.
