This is a repost from April 2019.

That’s when the late Rav Chaim Kanievsky made some widely-publicised comments that Moshiach would be coming before the Israeli Elections that were being held on April 9th, 2019.

Three months later, the autistics came out publically saying the Rav was Moshiach….

And Rav Glazerson also started turning up all sorts of ‘Torah codes’ showing the Rav was Moshiach, like this one, from June 2019….

====

And then, all the people who believed every single lying word of the anti-Torah, anti-Jewish MSM – working for our masonic NWO government and institutions – went totally nuts.

Instead of ‘moshiach’ and ‘geula’ – we got Covid 19 instead.

====

So anyway, I put together a bunch of the original sources on ‘how to recognise Moshiach’, when he finally shows up.

And I’m now reposting it here.

I have a feeling it’s going to come in handy, pretty soon.

Enjoy!

====

First up, this Midrash from the Pirkei HeiChalot Rabbati, which describes how we will be able to identify Moshiach:

The generation in which Moshiach will be revealed is “a poor generation, that doesn’t have any merit except to stand and make criticisms against them [i.e. against Moshiach and his people]. And they disgrace them and degrade them in the marketplaces, and in the streets, and they say things about him that the ear shouldn’t even hear.”

That Midrash continues that Moshiach will be imprisoned, slandered, horrible announcements will be made about him in every city in Israel, and he’ll have his image destroyed.

The Midrash continues:

“It’s written in Kohelet 4:14: ‘From prison he [i.e. Moshiach] came out to rule…” – but after a short ‘ceasefire’, his enemies amongst the Jewish people continue to mock and disgrace him, and start calling the Moshiach meshuggah (crazy).

God Himself comes out to bat for the Moshiach, and tells people:

“And all who believe in him will not be erased from the book of life.”

==

Next up, we have the sources describing how Moshiach will reveal himself gradually, not in one big, glorious burst of publicity:

In Tractate Sanhedrin 97 of the Gemara, it says that:

‘Moshiach will come riding on a donkey’.

In his commentary on this Gemara, Rashi explains that this means that Moshiach will be revealed ‘bit by bit’, or slowly, slowly.

==

Moshiach is going to come both from chutz l’aretz, and also from Israel.

The sources who suggest that Moshiach will come from outside of Israel include:

• The Prophet Hoshea
• The Targum Yonatan
• And the Midrash (Shmot-Raba 1/31)

Meanwhile, the followings sources state that Moshiach will come from within Eretz Yisrael:

• The Zohar (1:119/1 and 2:7/2) “Moshiach will reveal himself in the Galilee”
• The Rambam in his Letter to Yemen (Chapter 4), where he says about the Moshiach: “He will stand in Eretz Yisrael, and there he will begin to be revealed.”

==

The Abarbanel resolves these statements by saying (Nishuot Mashicha 1:3):

“The Moshiach will first be in chutz l’aretz, and then from there he’ll come to Eretz Yisrael (and that’s where he’ll start to reveal himself.)”

==

When the Moshiach comes, he’s going to be accompanied by the police and have to sit in jail.

The Ramban (explaining the quote from Zecharia 9:9, which says that Moshiach will be poor and riding on a donkey) writes the following:

“This means that he’ll be accompanied by prosecutors and policemen, who’ll attack him with abuse and invective.”

==

The Gemara in Sanhedrin (98:1) says that Moshiach is going to sit:

“At the entrance of Rome”.

The Ramchal explains (in Kinat Hashem Tsivakot Part 2):

“This means he’ll sit in prison” – as is mentioned many times in the midrashim.

==

When Moshiach first arrives, he’s going to be the subject of enormous machloket (controversy).

In the Megillat Setorim, or Hidden Scroll of Rebbe Nachman, Rebbe Nachman tells us that:

“At the beginning, there is going to be a huge machloket (controversy) surrounding the Moshiach.”

==

Even when the Moshiach is sitting in prison, his opponents are going to continue to humiliate and shame him – and the Moshiach is still going to forgive them and save them.

(If they make teshuva, and admit they were wrong about him….)

The Midrash (in Pesikta Rabbati Parsha 34) says:

“Even at the time that the Moshiach is sitting in prison because of our sins, there will still be so-called ‘religious people’ who will continue to mock and make fun of him.”

====

Then, there’s Rav Berland’s own statements about the geula process.

In a shiur he gave on The Child’s Prophecy in 5775 (2014), the Rav said:

At the moment that Moshiach would be revealed, Armilus HaRasha [the head of the mixed multitude, or Erev Rav] would come, together with all of the nations of the world, and he would try to fight against the Moshiach. So then the Moshiach would escape to the desert, together with some simple, pure-minded people, and there they would hide-out for nine months, the same amount of time as it takes to bring a pregnancy to term.

After nine months, the Moshiach would return and would reveal himself openly to everyone, and then everyone would reconcile with him, and make peace with him. The Rav said that the moment that Moshiach received his [spiritual] crown on the day of hakhel, soldiers will come from all over the world, with warships from all the nations of the world, against Eretz Yisrael.

====

In recent comments made in 2024, the Rav said this about ‘Armilus’:

It’s written that Armilus the Rasha will come with ‘one eye’.

Armilus the Rasha, who will make the war of Gog and Magog, he will come with just one eye. He will have just one eye in his forehead.

This sounds to me like a clear reference to the Masons / satanic NWO people.

====

Then, there is this Midrashic Source for ‘eating grass in the desert’ at the time of Geula, from Midrash Heichalos:

“Evil King Armelius will arise and tell Edom: “I am your messiah! I am your god!” The people will immediately believe in him and unite under his leadership. He will say to Esav’s descendants worldwide: “Bring me the Torah I gave you!”

“Every nation will present its religious law. Armelius will declare: “I gave you this law. I am your god.” He will likewise summon the Jewish people and say: “Bring me your Torah, and declare me your god!” The Jews will be shocked and frightened…

==

Nechemiah will say: “You are not God, but the Satan!”

He and thirty thousand mighty Jews will battle Armelius and kill 200,000 of his soldiers. Outraged, Armelius will mobilize and international army and wage a terrible war against the Jewish people. Thousands of Jews will be killed, including Nechemiah, who will die in the afternoon….

The Jewish survivors will flee into the wilderness. For forty-five days, they will survive on grass.

==

Moshiach ben David and Eliyahu HaNavi will reveal themselves to the Jews hiding in the wilderness and restore their spirits.

The people will know God has saved them. As it is said, For God has redeemed Yaakov, and ransomed him from the hand of one stronger than he (Yirmeyahu 31:10), and those lost in the land of Assyria and the outcasts in the land of Egypt will come (Yeshayahu 27:13).

==

The nations will fear God. 

Heretofore scattered, the Jewish people will return to Israel with Moshiach. Uniting in the Judean desert, the Jews will go to Jerusalem. Remnants of the house of David will rise up from the ruins, and Moshiach will rule.

Armelius will assemble an international army to fight Moshiach and the Jewish people.

God will fight for his nation, telling Moshiach: “Sit at my right hand…” (Tehillim 110:1). Moshiach will say to the Jews, “stand firm, and see God’s salvation,” (Shemot 14:13).

God will immediately do battle for them.

==

[Hopefully, all this got radically sweetened by the Rav’s mesirut nefesh and all the prayers and sincere teshuva from the last few months, 5784. Hopefully.]

====

OK, so here’s all these sources summed up in a nutshell:

There’s going to be huge machloketover the Moshiach, who will spend time being defamed, slandered and mocked in prison; then, as soon as he’s properly revealed, a huge army is going to come and wage war against Israel; and the geulaprocess began in 5776 and is going to continue on until 5781.

====

Ad kan, from the sources back in 2019.

Again, please notice that we were meant to have had Moshiach and geula in 5781 – 3-4 years ago.

Instead…. we’ve had four years of ‘Covid 19’ hell, forced injections, 45 people murdered in Meron, thousands more killed and wounded from October 7th onwards, 60,000 residents of the North still in hotels…. and ‘Armilus the Rasha’ still has plans for more ‘war in the North’ leading to WW III.

====

So basically, whether we get the next stage of geula the sweet way, or the really totally horrible way, comes down to whether we make some serious teshuva.

And the main teshuva to make is about all the lies and lashon hara we uncritically swallowed-down about the Rav, and all the avoda zara we’re engaging in, with our ‘worship’ of Golden Calves and false idols.

(This is a great time to do some hitbodedut, and to introspect a little. We all make mistakes. The only difference between a tzaddik and a rasha is that the rasha never acknowledges all the bad stuff they have done, both to themselves and to others.)

====

A last thing I just wanted to mention is the importance of asking God to show us who the true tzaddikim really are, because the Midrash Heichalos makes it clear that there will be at least one ‘false messiah’ in the mix, too.

(At the moment, I have at least four ‘false messiah’ candidates on the radar, and that’s just in the Jewish world…. It’s going to be interesting.)

====

If we simple Jews are attached to true tzaddikim, we don’t need to worry about trying to figure out all this stuff.

If our real tzaddikim tell us ‘so and so is the Moshiach’ – good enough!

We don’t need to break our heads trying to figure out who the real Moshiach really is. The true tzaddikim already know, and they will announce it publically, when the time is right.

====

(This is already starting to happen, btw. More on that soon.)

====

But Rebbe Nachman warned us there would be so many false leaders at the end of days, misleading people with their heresy and false ideas.

And these false leaders will for sure be against the real Moshiach – so it’s going to get confusing for anyone who doesn’t have strong emunat tzaddikim, and for anyone who isn’t attached to a true Tzaddik.

====

Somewhere, a long time ago, I did an infographic (remember those?) with the blessings you are meant to say when you see the Moshiach.

If I can find it, I will post that up here soon.

Word on the street is that Shushan Purim 5784 is going to be a very big day for the Jews this year.

But it all depends on us, and our sincere teshuva.

And we aren’t out of the woods yet.
