REDEMPTION AND JUDGMENT • LIGHT AND DARKNESS

The great Rabbi Ephraim lived in the 14th century. He wrote that human civilization lasts 6000 years before the Redemption arrives along with the end of death. However, we can bring an earlier redemption if we change, transform and bring the Zohar to all nations.

There are windows of opportunity at various points in this 6000 year journey.

One such window occurred 2000 years ago. Another opening took place in the 13th century with the revelation of the Zohar after centuries of concealment.

We blew it on both occasions (take my course “Unredacting Jesus” for the whole story).

Rabbi Ephraim wrote that if the Redemption and Messiah does not arrive by the Hebrew calendar year of 5700, then great judgment and wrath will strike the Jews.

Sure enough, 5700 in the Hebrew calendar was 1939-1940 in the western calendar.

And we all know what happened next!

World War ll and the Holocaust.

And when there is judgment against the Israelites, judgment and darkness also strikes the other nations.

Some 70-80 million people perished in World War ll.

But now we have an opportunity to prevent new judgment.

The Zohar is now around the world.

The Kabbalists, notably The Genius of Vilna (Vilna Gaon) said some 3 centuries ago, that the year 2020 would see a massive intensification of chaos and potential order in our world.

There would be opening for the Messiah.

Guess what?

The chaos struck.

Covid.

And now Ukraine.

And corruption in the medical, political and religious establishments.

And an all out attack by many against the Force we humans like to call God.

All the craziness is a sign that we are close.

The more we surrender our ego and give up our narcissistic behavior, and we start treating our friends and foes with dignity, and we increase our sharing of the Zohar with others, the quicker we will attain the authentic redemption of humankind.

We are being tested. Make no mistake.

The opportunity is ours to seize.

The power to change ourselves, and in turn, this world, lies in the palm of our hand.

But be forewarned: the dark force, the human ego, will do everything in its power to defeat us.
