1 The signs along the road

How can we know where we stand on the road to the Redemption?

A person travelling from Haifa to Jerusalem… How does he know whether he is near his destination? Thanks to the road signs.

Has the Creator left us signs to know where we stand in this exile of 2000 years?

Yes. And they are all in the Zohar and the Talmud.

2 The ten signposts

1. The Zohar on Ishmael (בני ישמעאל ובריתם) — Why do the Arabs possess the Land of Israel? The secret of the brit milah and the divine reward they claimed.

2. The Three Wars (שלוש מלחמות גדולות) — Sea, land, great city. The Zohar describes three wars between the West and the Arabs: one from the sea, one on land, one near Jerusalem.

3. The Prophecy of Bilam (נבואת בלעם) — “Woe to whoever lives in the time of ‘Sumo El’!” The verse that gives the key to the whole end of days. Israel and Ishmael.

4. The Tsim, the Ships (וְצִים מִיַּד כִּתִּים) — From a great country of the sea, armies will set out. First stage: Assur (Iraq). Second stage: Ever (Iran). The Targum Yerushalmi.

5. The 23rd of Elul, the Towers (כ״ג אלול - שלוש חומות) — The Zohar: “On that day, three high walls will fall.” September 11, 2001 = 23 Elul. The beginning of the end of days.

6. Baladan, the Secret (בלאדן = בן לאדן) — The Samer Mem (the Satan) is called Baladan. Bin Laden = “son of the Aden” = son of the Satan. Ossama = Samer Mem. Gematria = Amalek!

7. Basra, the Fall (בצרה — נפילת השטן) — The angel of evil will flee toward Basra (Iraq), thinking it is a city of refuge. Three fatal mistakes. That is where he falls.

8. Gog and Magog (גוג ומגוג) — Rome falls into the hand of Iran. Iran falls into the hand of the Messiah. Who dominates whom? Talmud Yoma and the final reversal.

9. The Two Courses (שני מסלולים) — Through wars or through peace? Zechariah 14 against Zechariah 9. The merit of Israel can change everything. The tsunami as a sign.

10. Israel’s Merit (זכות ישראל) — 70% of Israelis believe in G-d. More than a million have done teshuva. The wars are shortened. The Messiah comes through peace!
