Did Eliyahu, Yechezkel, Zecharia, Yermiyahu, etc, have semicha? Did Moshe Rabbeinu have semicha? Do I have semicha? Did my 65 years of Torah study require me to have semicha to analyze a possible upcoming event or did my knowledge of nevua let me know that when I see an event in the world today that matches the nevua, I can tie them together. Some things are obvious, maybe not to you, but to me and definitely to Rav Ben Artzi. Rav, by the way, refers to teacher which means you can be called Rav without semicha (I have for decades).

One of the reasons the world is getting so scary is that Hashem knows when we have problems and evil forces trying to hurt us, the good people of the world put aside their petty differences, huddle together and unite in an effort to fight evil. Hashem's plan is foolproof and, unfortunately, needed these days. The good news is: it is all coming from Hashem to help us and to bring the happy ending for the righteous people of the world (I believe very soon).<br /><br />Thank you for the excellent website to help Jews make aliyah. The program that I am working on will make it even easier to make aliyah. Great progress has been made and I hope to kick off this mystery program soon (within weeks, if not days).

Rab Ben Artzi is a very flowery speaker who is not easily translated. I know individuals who have tried and found it very difficult. The above, as an example, is not a translation but merely a summary of what he said. It was well done and I hope the individual who gave us the summary will continue. Meanwhile, I will continue to talk to individuals who may help. I am very sorry that the Rabbi who was doing the translation before could not continue -- he did an excellent job. I do believe the messages from individuals like Rab Ben Artzi, Rav Fish, Rav Yitzchok, etc are vital to the world and should be very much encouraged. Translating them into the major languages of the world also is vital to disseminate the information to as many people as possible.The Absolute Truthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14060786380470453883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-170726902683483449.post-32447989319145675072013-04-23T07:19:44.074+03:002013-04-23T07:19:44.074+03:00Predicting the exact date of Moshiach is not allow...Predicting the exact date of Moshiach is not allowed even though the Rambam (that you are mentioning) said that if you are close, a prediction is allowed but must be worded as "your opinion." I believe I know a very definite date based on very specific calculations that I made; but, I avoid such predictions for credibility reasons. Last year I mentioned certain possible dates for events that I heard from very credible sources. They weren't my predictions but came from others, but it didn't make any difference. When these events didn't pan out exactly as guessed, I got chastised big-time. My guessing days are over (so far as making the information public). The predictions that I have now can be explained after the events happen (specific prophecies in scriptures after they occur).<br /><br />So far as Rav Ben Artzi predicting, I don't know the Rav and have never met him. Since I would not disclose my speculation of a date for Moshiach, I could never ask someone else to do so.<br /><br />Rav Ben Artzi's credibility is very high. His statement about Moshiach being half man, half angel I believe comes from the Talmud and the Midrash. I don't have the time to research it but invite you to since you are the one questioning it. Or, we can wait for Moshiach and ask him. My question is: why does that entail dangerous water? Wouldn't it be better to find out the source and give Rav Ben Artzi credit for the statement than to criticize him due to a lack of information on your part? People should ask questions about what they are not familiar with rather than assume the information is not correct.

Being a light unto the nations has been going on for thousands of years. The Jews have been throughout the world for thousands of years and have succeeded in sending Hashem's message (His Torah) to the four corners of the earth. The problem is not too many, worldwide, want the message. As things get much worse in the world (which is happening everywhere), more people are repenting and turning to Hashem. That is His plan for the end to help the righteous people of the world and help some not so righteous become more righteous. Today's world is getting scarier and Hashem's plan is working beautifully. It also is a very good indication of the end being near.
