Rav Arush: How to know who is really ‘Moshiach’
Confusing times, isn’t it folks?
Every blogger and their donkey is putting up stuff claiming to know who Moshiach is.
(I’m also in that category, with the stuff I’m posting up here from Rav Elmaliach – with the difference that he’s actually one of the hidden tzaddikim, getting stuff straight from the Tzaddik HaEmet she be dor, Rav Berland himself.)
But, let’s put all that to one side for the moment, and assume that I’m just as whacked-out and ‘blinded to reality’ as the rest of those bloggers and other online commentators, furiously speculating away about who is moshiach?
====
This short clip in Hebrew is from a month ago.
It’s Rav Shalom Arush being interviewed about how to know ‘who is really moshiach’ – given all the fakers, all the ‘publicity stunts’, all the false messiahs that have plagued us for millenia already.
====
Rav Arush has been extremely ill the last couple of years, and you can see he is struggling to speak properly, so everything is subtitled. (May he have a speedy and complete refuah. It’s a little hard to see him so weak, to be honest.)
But this is what he is basically saying:
-
We don’t ‘mix in’ to any discussions about ‘who moshiach is’ until we hear from the True Tzaddikim in our generation, who will tell us clearly ‘this is moshiach’.
- Those True Tzaddikim are the ones who will merit to have a revelation of Eliyahu Hanavi, who will tell them – and not plebs like us – this person is the moshiach.
- Anyone who has real emunat tzaddikim just has to wait for these real tzaddikim in our generation to make the announcement.
- Rav Arush then says two names of two tzaddikim: R David Abuchatzaira of Nahariya (the Baba Sali’s grandson) and Rav Dov Kook of Tiveria.
That’s all, folks.
====
Of course, not everyone believes in the true tzaddikim.
So for those people, the pointless speculation will continue ad infinitum until they either understand the error of their ways, or they get taken out the world.
Miskenim.
For everyone else – just wait and see, quietly.
Do your own hitbodedut, because without some basic effort to connect to God, and to clean up our own bad middot, especially the arrogance that is keeping us far away from God and the truth and the True Tzaddikim, we won’t even get to the basic level of emunat tzaddikim required to do what Rav Arush is telling us to do.
====
Me personally, I have a job to do here on the blog, which is to continue to share the Rav’s light, and the words of Rav Elmaliach, and the Torah of Makor Chochma.
And even me, I’m really mostly translating Rav Elmaliach, at this point, because I went through a bout of excrutiating illness a month ago, and I got the message that for whatever reason, God has given me this job to do and I can’t duck it.
Personally, I for sure believe that the Rav is the MBD of our generation.
==
(As for discussions of ‘MBY’ – it’s another very interesting subject that maybe we’ll get into at some point, that ‘MBY’ seems to have been a chiddush of the Sabbateans, who were seeking ‘Torah-based pretexts’ for why they could still claim he was a ‘moshiach’ even when he didn’t fulfill the job – and even though he was actually a kohen, so he could NEVER have been an actual MBD.
And before them, this same idea was used by the minim in biblical times, as a justification for why ‘yoshki’ (whoever that actually was…) hadn’t completed the job. And that historical ‘yoshki’, whoever he really was, could also have been a kohen, if you read all the stuff describing him and his extended family, especially his brother ‘James’.)
Always the same old story.
==
So.
Sit tight, and wait for more of our real tzaddikim to tell you this is moshiach.
(If you’ve been following what’s been going on with the Rav as long as I have, and if you’ve been reading the OIAG books, you’ll see that many of our generation’s true tzaddikim have been dropping big hints about the identity of the real MBD, for a very long time…)
====
Also, go back and read this prayer again, that the true tzaddikim should be revealed without suffering.
I know, I know.
A ‘real moshiach‘ would be giving fiery interviews on Youtube about Israeli politics, and not wasting his time writing such precious prayers for Am Yisrael and spending hours in prayer and Torah, visiting kivrei tzaddikim, and encouraging literally tens, if not hundreds of thousands of Jews to make some real teshuva.
Wouldn’t he?
Think for yourself. It’ll save you a lot of grief, going forward.
We read recently about jealousy, about true tzaddiqim being bitul to the tzaddiq.
m.b.y. is a job description, not just one individual, and there could be dozens of them in any particular time.
There is a jewish source about the death of m.b.y., referring to ‘hadad-rimon’ in zekharia, and it says that it’s the death of the yetzer hara, so maybe there’s an analogy with the yetzer being killed or subordinate to the yetzer tov, with the tzaddiqim conquering their jealousy towards the tzaddiq of the generation.
GRA mentions shaul was in the mission of m.b.y. in his generation, also includes some ‘failed’ participants in the role, or maybe ‘partly-succesful’, such as koresh hafarsi.
.
eisav is a classic example of failed m.b.y. and i think it might be rav mike feuer saying something about eisav’s tikun to be bitul to his brother, to stop even having the name ‘eisav’. even kayin taught adam about tshuva.
in fact, the idumeans joined yehuda with the hashmonayim as ‘freed servants’ and were involved with bar kochba against the romans. seems like rebbe akiva ben yosef and bar kochba were also in the mission of m.b.y., and their incomplete success served as lessons to the future.
the navi ovadia also, leaving who he was, not to mention yonah hanavi as the woman’s son resurrected.
.
it’s dangerous territory, obviously the proto-notzrim and the vespasian-cult which became the roman continuity-of-government til today, the sabbateans and frankists, the amin al-husseini amalek-fusion of the klipah of yishmael and the weapons, training, officers, and money of amalek from edom, the roman fascists with the league of nations using chemical weapons against the tribe of dan, they all have weird ideologies built around truth.
i hope more and more of these insane distortions turn to dust as truth is revealed.
