Message from Rabbi Nir Ben Artzi, shlita, Parshas Chukas תשעד

The Holy One, Blessed is He, everything starts and ends with Him.  The three boys who were abducted, have righteous souls.  Only mass prayer, that have been ongoing, will continue -- praying that the Almighty will reveal where they are and will find them alive, safe and well.  The prayer will help the Israeli Defense Force, IDF, reveal them and ease the pain of the mothers.  We Jews do not fully understand the language of the Hashem.  Every morning our prayers ask the Holy One, Blessed is He, all kinds of requests and messages, that we ourselves are not sufficiently aware of what we are saying.

What's happening with righteous youths – Hamas received backing through their interactions with those Israeli Arabs of high status.  They give them help which provides strengthening shame since the media gives them a platform.

The IDF and the ISA, should catch the main bosses, leaders – those who were liberated from prison.  They know more than anyone else.

Jewish people of Israel will continue to pray.  Do not despair – there is always a positive thought to save the righteous youths and increase charity and kindness.  Israel’s prayers to Hashem have been strong during these days and will not diminish!  Prayer will protect the IDF and, with Hashem’s help, the righteous youths will be found alive and well!

The IDF is doing all that they can, above and beyond and from the heart, to find the righteous youths!  They also do their best to rescue the boys and not get hurt.  It is possible to use sniffer dogs in the places that the boys may be held.  The soldiers should  not get tired and lose their calm.  This is the largest trial for the IDF.  They should approach Hebron and other areas with a strong arm and not give in to terrorism and Hamas!

There are no small groups of Israeli Arabs who cooperate with Hamas.  Continue to hold the leaders who had instituted changes; they have the key and know very well what is going on with the boys.  They have been for three consecutive years making plans to kidnap Israeli soldiers. We Jews are asking Hashem to help us find the boys alive and well with no soldier being hurt.

Syrian citizens have scattered to all Arab countries.  We are seeing the end of Syria.  There is no help for them.  Hashem will continue to eliminate them and let them deal with themselves.

Iran, the world is getting the misimpression that she loves the United States and is a friend of the Americans.  Now she wants to help Iraq to show that it is a great power.  Iran is going into Iraq, as are the Americans, and there will be a mess.  Whoever touches Israel, Hashem touches and hurts them.

There is great pressure on Jordan with everything that happens.  And everyone is saying that whatever happens - happens against them.  They always thought they were receiving special consideration, but they have received over a million refugees from Syria, over 700 thousand Iraqis and continue to receive tens of thousands of Hamas.  Jordan will be eaten up in a different way – a land that devours its inhabitants.

West Bank, even though the Arabs give the impression to the Israelis that they are with them, some of them are waiting for an uprising against Israel.  They are working in a nice way with Israelis, but are waiting for approval to disrupt.  Approval comes through the media and through their messengers in Ramallah, Nablus and other places to coordinate with them.  Hamas and the Palestinians want the Israeli government to get down on her knees to negotiate the hostages.

Turkey.  Have patience, there will be a revolution.  There are hundreds of thousands of refugees coming into Turkey, and the citizens cannot tolerate the influx.

Egypt.  Hamas wants to take over the new government.  Hamas works in secret, not in public, waiting for Sisi to make great changes in Egypt.  There is presently a great famine in Egypt with no bread and no food.

Gaza.  Hamas is firing missiles and are jubilant, happy and are taunting Israel.  Israel has a lot of discretion, so as not to be drawn into the war.

The government of Israel is aware that every house in the Gaza Strip has heavy ammunition – very, very, very much!  They are continuing to dig tunnels.  They think that no one sees them and that nothing is happened.  They teach and guide the Hamas in Hebron how to dig tunnels, even though it is an area full of rocks.

Hamas was to give the Palestinians peace, but everything is fake.  They were friends long ago, so they can work together collaboratively to attack Israel.

Hezbollah and Nasrallah are drowning in the mud; they are messing with Syria and the rebels.

All members of the peace delegation, journalists and other people who want peace with the Palestinians, please, the government of Israel is not doing anything wrong!  Stop agitating the people; let the government of Israel to do its work quietly!  They should listen to the Israeli government and not fight it and degrade it.  Jews are forbidden to defame Jews.  We must unite to save the State of Israel and to preserve every piece of land of Israel, for all Jews.  There is no one to protect us.  Only Hashem will protect Israel.

Further explain and teach the soldiers and every Jew what it may face from accepting rides. Hamas, do not pity them – they are the seed of Amalek.

IDF knows that dangerous terrorists are in every hole and in every home.  They must be very careful, everyone and especially the soldiers.  The situation is not easy at all and it needs Hashem’s help with heavy prayer to Him!

The world’s natural disasters continue; all the strange things that are happening, we never could have dreamed about.

Jews who live outside Israel: as long as you are still alive, run away!

Each state and country that wishes to intervene in Israel and wants to give away parts of the Land of Israel, even a single inch, will harm themselves.  What is happening in the Ukraine will continue to run from the land to land like wildfire.  Trouble is in Europe and soon the United States.  The Jewish situation is more difficult than ever, the materialism that is holding them. We should renounce the materialism and fly to Israel!  Whoever goes against Hashem never wins! Jew-hatred is going to get stronger and stronger.  Millions of Jews will arrive shortly and settle the Negev, the western Galilee, Samaria, and Benjamin.  Holy Land belongs to the Hashem!  Woe to anyone who touches an inch from the holy land!  It is not Gush Katif.  Gush Katif will return to Israeli control - patience.  Gush Katif is a one-time warning and will not be repeated.

The Creator killed a whole generation in the desert.  The spies heard a voice, mocked the holy land, and spoke slander the Holy Land.  Creator delayed entry to Israel - for forty years!

The world is complicated and day by day will be even more complicated.  The sacred land of Israel will be in purity and holiness; and, the kingdom will rule over the whole world!  The big day should arrive, the day of the Messiah; and that it will be very soon.  With his coming there will be order in Israel and the world, but the world will enter into chaos and destruction before the time of order.
