Messianic Process Began with IAF Airstrike in Syria, Will End With Israeli Elections<\/h2>\n

January 22, 2019<\/p>\n

Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky, one of the most prominent rabbis of this generation, made a shocking statement, claiming that the Messiah will precede the upcoming Israeli elections<\/a>. …<\/p>\n

Rabbi Fish related a story that is just now being told within Haredi circles in Israel. A young Torah scholar from outside of Israel was hosted for the Sabbath a few weeks ago at the house of a follower of Rabbi Kanievsky. The young man visited Kanievsky during the Sabbath. He asked the rabbi if he should apply for Israeli citizenship in order to vote for the Haredi party in the Israeli elections being held on April 9.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no need,\u201d Rabbi Kanievsky answered. \u201cThe \u00a0Messiah will already be here before the elections.\u201d …<\/p>\n

\u201cGod can be speaking right at you, saying the Messiah is right in front of you, but if you refuse to hear, you won\u2019t,\u201d Winston explained.<\/p>\n

Rabbi Fish agreed, emphasizing that prophetic predictions could materialize while going unnoticed. Eight days ago, Rabbi Fish predicted that the blood moon lunar eclipse<\/a> that passed over the continental U.S. on Sunday would be a significant omen, even more so because it coincided with the Jewish holiday of Tu B\u2019Shevat.<\/p>\n

In fact, an unprecedented daylight airstrike<\/a> by the Israeli Air Force against Iranian military targets in southern Syria on Sunday led to an intensification of the conflict. An Iranian General declared that his forces were prepared to \u201cdestroy Israel\u201d and the Israeli Intelligence Minister referred to the situation as an \u201copen confrontation\u201d with Iran.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is true that Rabbi Kanievsky has been saying the Moshiach is imminent for a few years, but that is not really very long when we are speaking about the Messiah,\u201d Rabbi Fish said. \u201cAnd every time, Rabbi Kanievsky speaks in different terms, describing a different aspect of the process,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Messiah is already active in the world but not everyone is willing to see this,\u201d Fish said. \u201cSome people are unwilling to see this no matter what proof is presented. If the conflict with Syria develops, it will become clear that the process of the Messiah began on Tu B\u2019Shevat.\u201d https:\/\/www.breakingisraelnews.com\/120689\/airstrike-syria-israeli-elections\/<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Chaim Kanievsky previously claimed that the Messiah was born last Summer:<\/p>\n

\n
\n

Messiah-mania has reached a fever pitch in Israel, as one prominent rabbi says the prophesied redeemer was born a week ago, while a group promoting the rebuilding of the Temple released a new TV spot saying, \u201cThe time has arrived.\u201d …<\/p>\n

Maybe it\u2019s the blood moons. Maybe it\u2019s the new U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem. Or, maybe, suggest other rabbis, now that the majority of Jews in the world now live in Israel, prophecy is read to be fulfilled.<\/p>\n

Perhaps the most surprising development is a statement by a well-respected Israeli rabbi, Chaim Kanievsky, a leading authority in Haredi Jewish society, stating unequivocally that the messiah was born July 21.<\/p>\n

\n

Kanievsky, hailed as one of the leading rabbis of his generation, wrote a book, \u201cSiach Nechama,\u201d or \u201cA Comforting Discourse,\u201d that claims the messiah is alive today and when Israel merits it, he will immediately reveal himself.\u201d<\/p>\n

A Hebrew-language religious news site explained the rabbi based his statement on the Jerusalem Talmud (Tractate Brachot) and Midrash Rabbah, a collection of homiletic teachings believed to have been compiled in the fifth century in Tiberias, which states that the Messiah will be born on Tisha B\u2019Av, which is observed as a fast day mourning the destruction of the Jewish Temples. This year, Tisha B\u2019Av fell on Saturday, July 21.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt seems to me that the sages intended to teach us that even when the Temple is destroyed, in any case the Redemption exists,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd the Messiah actually exists and lives among us. He passes from one body to another in each generation.\u201d 07\/29\/18 https:\/\/www.wnd.com\/2018\/07\/messiah-mania-hits-fever-pitch-in-israel\/#yKZHtghGhb2pFSqW.99<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

For more about that see: Rabbi claims Messiah was born last week, but Jews should know He was born over 2000 years ago<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In my view, while something may well happen in Israel in the next couple of months, Chaim Kanievsky does not have prophetic credibility.<\/p>\n

As far as the Messiah goes, here are links to a free online book and many videos which should demonstrate to all interested in the truth, Jew or not, that Jesus was the prophesied Messiah:<\/p>\n

Proof Jesus is the Messiah<\/a> This free book has over 200 Hebrew prophecies were fulfilled by Jesus. Plus, His arrival was consistent with specific prophecies and even Jewish interpretations of prophecy. Here are links to seven related sermons: Proof Jesus is the Messiah<\/a>, Prophecies of Jesus\u2019 birth, timing, and death<\/a>, Jesus\u2019 prophesied divinity<\/a>, 200+ OT prophecies Jesus filled; Plus prophecies He made<\/a>, Why Don\u2019t Jews Accept Jesus?<\/a>, Daniel 9, Jews, and Jesus<\/a>, and Facts and Atheists’ Delusions About Jesus<\/a>. Plus the links to two sermonettes: Luke\u2019s census: Any historical evidence?<\/a> and Muslims believe Jesus is the Messiah, but<\/a> … These videos cover nearly all of the book, plus have some information not in the book.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Now, what about the Israeli airstrikes?<\/p>\n

Some see this of potentially prophetic significance:<\/p>\n

\n

Israel Unleashes An \u2018Armageddon-Like\u2019 Assault On Iranian And Hezbollah Targets In Damascus With Largest Air Strike In Recent Memory<\/h2>\n

On Monday<\/strong>, Israel began a massive campaign of air strikes on Iranian and Lebanese military targets located in Damascus in Syria. The word Damascus<\/a><\/strong> appears exactly 60 times in\u00a0 your King James Bible, and is heavily associated with fulfillment of end times Bible prophecy, most of it still yet future.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from\u00a0being<\/em>\u00a0a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.\u201d Isaiah 17:1 (KJV)<\/strong><\/p>\n

So it comes<\/strong> to no surprise to me at all that Damascus continues to be in the exact epicenter of the action in the Middle East as Iran continues to slither closer and closer to their dream of invading Israel by overrunning their border with Syria at the Golan Heights border<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Israeli strikes said to destroy Iranian, Hezbollah sites near Damascus …<\/h3>\n

Israel has accused Iran<\/strong> of seeking to establish a military presence in Syria that could threaten Israeli security and attempting to transfer advanced weaponry to the Hezbollah terror group in Lebanon. 01\/20\/19 https:\/\/www.nowtheendbegins.com\/israel-unleashes-an-armageddon-like-assault-on-iranian-and-hezbollah-targets-in-damascus-with-largest-air-strike-in-recent-memory\/<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It is true that Isaiah 17:1 is a prophecy and it will be fulfilled. Damascus will be destroyed.<\/p>\n

Iran is not pleased, One of its generals says Iran is ready to eliminate Israel:<\/p>\n

21 January 2019<\/p>\n

A second night of Israeli airstrikes have hit targets inside Syria<\/a> in a tit-for-tat exchange that included the launch of a medium-range missile from the outskirts of Damascus towards the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.<\/p>\n

The sharp increase in tensions between Israel<\/a> and Syria, and its key backer, Iran, comes at a time when the security situation in Syria is rapidly changing owing to the recently announced US troop drawdown and a jockeying for influence on all sides. …<\/p>\n

Iran<\/a>, meanwhile, has been moving to consolidate its presence in Syria even as the civil war has swung ever more decisively in the direction of Assad\u2019s regime, not least as recent moves by the Trump administration are perceived as leaving a vacuum. …<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

In a sign of the increasingly war-like rhetoric of recent days, Tehran\u2019s air force chief, Brig Gen Aziz Nasirzadeh, said Iran was \u201cfully ready and impatient to confront the Zionist regime and eliminate it from the Earth\u201d, according to the Young Journalists Club, a website supervised by Iranian state television. https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2019\/jan\/21\/israeli-military-strikes-iranian-targets-inside-syria<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Based upon various prophecies, I expect Iran will retaliate against Israel militarily–and it will not end well for Israel.<\/p>\n

Let us look at some passages from the Bible:<\/p>\n

1 The burden against the Valley of Vision.<\/p>\n

What ails you now, that you have all gone up to the housetops, 2 You who are full of noise, A tumultuous city, a joyous city? Your slain men are not slain with the sword, Nor dead in battle. 3 All your rulers have fled together; They are captured by the archers. All who are found in you are bound together; They have fled from afar. 4 Therefore I said, \u201cLook away from me, I will weep bitterly; Do not labor to comfort me Because of the plundering of the daughter of my people.\u201d<\/p>\n

5 For it is a day of trouble and treading down and perplexity By the Lord God of hosts In the Valley of Vision \u2014 Breaking down the walls And of crying to the mountain. 6 Elam bore the quiver With chariots of men and horsemen<\/strong>, And Kir uncovered the shield. 7 It shall come to pass that your choicest valleys Shall be full of chariots,And the horsemen shall set themselves in array at the gate.<\/p>\n

8 He removed the protection of Judah<\/strong>. You looked in that day to the armor of the House of the Forest; 9 You also saw the damage to the city of David, That it was great<\/strong>; And you gathered together the waters of the lower pool. 10 You numbered the houses of Jerusalem, And the houses you broke down To fortify the wall. 11 You also made a reservoir between the two walls For the water of the old pool. But you did not look to its Maker, Nor did you have respect for Him who fashioned it long ago.<\/p>\n

12 And in that day the Lord God of hosts Called for weeping and for mourning,For baldness and for girding with sackcloth. 13 But instead, joy and gladness, Slaying oxen and killing sheep, Eating meat and drinking wine: \u201cLet us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die!\u201d<\/p>\n

14 Then it was revealed in my hearing by the Lord of hosts,\u201dSurely for this iniquity there will be no atonement for you, Even to your death,\u201d says the Lord God of hosts. (Isaiah 22:1-14 NKJV)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Elam looks to be a reference to at least some in Iran. Kir is of interest as it has several possibilities. One is that the Bible tells that after Tiglath-Pileser king of Assyria took over Damascus, he moved Syrians to Kir. While this does not mean that Kir must (or must only) be a reference to Syria, the fact that Syria is an ally of Iran is interesting. Some believe Kir is an area in the south of Iran, while others suggest closer to the Black Sea. The Bible tells of a time when Kir will be destroyed (Isaiah 15:1b) and also says that Syria\u2019s capital Damascus will be destroyed (Isaiah 17:1).<\/p>\n

In Isaiah 22: 8, \u201cJudah\u201d is a reference to those in the land commonly called Israel\u2013God will allow Israel to be attacked! In Isaiah 22:9, consider that \u201cthe damage to the city of David\u201d is a reference to at least part of Jerusalem\u2013and notice that the damage will be great.<\/p>\n

So, yes, there will be military escalation in the region.<\/p>\n

While that battle in Isaiah 22 is NOT the one related to Armageddon, Israel will be hit worse than it thinks and push a prophesied peace deal (see ).<\/p>\n

This will truly change various matters in the Middle East as it will trigger the final countdown to the Great Tribulation.<\/p>\n
