Reality Check

                                                                                          בס"ד

When I started to write my book 23 years ago I called it “Reality Check.” I wanted to tell what the system is in this world and what our obligations are. By reassuring you that the only way to happiness, success and a wonderful life here on Earth and for eternity is by doing the will of the Creator of it all, I hoped to make everything for you as pleasant as could be. So as I described the system and what we had to do for this correction, this perfection of a life; I asked everyone reading my words to do a reality check. In other words, here is the system in the world, what are you personally doing or not doing to succeed or fail.

I wrote in the book and on this blog some very definite instructions to help you. Of course, I am telling you Hashem’s guidance to obtain the best of everything; I only put it in my words. I need not repeat the blog post but invite you to go to the post and refresh your memory (if new to this blog, enjoy): The Key to Happiness

I bring this up at this time since our biggest problem that we have these days is the severe testing of the end of time. I am getting a lot of personal Email, letting me know that it is a big concern of my readers.

I am going to get a little bit harsh in my analysis. I will apologize later, but for now it is time for a reality check. There is nothing in this world that is random. There is nothing by accident, by coincidence, by chance; there is nothing by luck. Everything that happens to each one of us is by design, measure for measure (there he goes again with his favorite expression), according to what we need. That means (here is the harsh reality): we bring on and cause whatever problems we have. If we have sickness, money problems, marital problems, children problems, neighbor problems, (this list is possibly infinite, so time for cut off), etc, etc, etc, WE BROUGHT IT ON OURSELVES!!!!!!

I apologize, but that doesn’t let us off the hook.

As part of our reality check, meaning a self-evaluation of this concept, we come across the human characteristic of: “It wasn’t me that caused this; it was him or her or them or whomever I can blame.” We don’t like to hear such a message even if it hits home and is 100% true. Our looking for someone to blame is so human. The problem is similar to the reason for Jew-hatred: if you can’t kill the message, kill the messenger.

I have been getting a lot of readers using me as a scapegoat recently. They don’t like the message that I am trying to convey from Hashem, so I get blamed for their problems. “Stop telling me that I should move to Israel, when I have 999 excuses for not moving.” “Stop telling me that I have financial difficulties, when I have umpteen reasons for the problem, and as many people to point the finger at.” Am I saying that all your reasons are not valid? No, I am saying that you caused all those reasons, since Hashem saw well in advance what you would do according to His will, and what you were lacking, and where you needed help. I have said that I have observe tens of thousands of people over a half century and it is totally consistent.

I became a focal point for blame; after all I am the one pointing out this information from Hashem. I don’t mind if you blame me, if it makes people feel better, go right ahead. But, it doesn’t solve your problems. My entire premise is that turning to Hashem and following His very definite instructions is the only way to solve those problems.

I have a very unique situation in life. I am old enough to give Mussar. But, as it is brought down (Sota 49, Sanhedrin 97 and elsewhere), nobody these days wants to hear good advice on how to solve problems. If we won’t even take credit for causing the problem, why do you need someone like me to tell you what to do? Also, (I get this a lot), you don’t know me, and have no idea of my problems. Good point, except, since these problems all come from the same Source, it doesn’t make any difference what the problem is or how severe; the solution is also from that same Source.

I am writing all this for one and only one purpose: to continue to help good people. I care, especially since the solution is so, so simple. We live in very frustrating times, but they are not times to give up or look for excuses, but to do true Teshuvah and solve problems. Do a legitimate reality check and realize what the real problem truly is and what the only solution is.

All that you bring up these days will be resolved. The unsheathing of the sun will solve the medical problems; the moving to Israel for the whole family will be so simple. Everything will happen exactly as you want; all you need to do is completely turn to Hashem to make it as easy as possible. There are always two ways to solve problems, (1) the easy way and (2) the difficult way. I am just suggesting: choice number one. Hashem is with infinite mercy, with infinite caring, with infinite love for each of us. Take advantage of it all.

I would like to repeat a short explanation in the Key to Happiness that I recommended above. It is absolutely the best explanation of the system on Earth that we live under. It is the solution to all our prayers:

I asked for strength, and Hashem gave me difficulties to make me strong

I asked for wisdom, and Hashem gave me problems to solve

I asked for prosperity, and Hashem gave me brawn and brain to work

I asked for courage, and Hashem gave me dangers to overcome

I asked for love, and Hashem gave me troubled people to help

I asked for favors, and Hashem gave me opportunities

I received nothing I wanted; I received everything I needed

My prayers were answered.

That is reality.

Message from Rabbi Nir Ben Artzi, Shlita, Parashat Shemini, 17 Adar Bet 5776 (27/3/16)

בס"ד

G-d, King of the World, created the world from A to Z. There are no mistakes in creation and no star was created by mistake. Everything that exists on earth - humans, animals, birds, fish, and trees - G-d created everything in His honor, and the choice is in man's hands. G-d brought Jews to the world to fight evil, to fight the impurities in the world, to turn the world from impure to pure, from evil to good, from hatred to love. There will not be a third world war, there will not be a third intifada, despite all of the conflict and complications between countries, it will continue until the entire world repents.

The forces of nature will continue to strike the earth everywhere. All of the Arab countries will fall apart and they will have no savior.

G-d is warning the people of Israel: do not leave Israel for the holidays! ISIS is all over the world, sometimes they look like nice people, but they reveal their cruelty in the end. When Jews are in the holy land of Israel, they are protected, no one can harm them and no one will have the nerve to come close to Israel. ISIS and all the anti-Semites harm the Jews that live outside of Israel. Israel is a protected land. Successful businessmen that invest overseas can leave and come back. Times are rough and ISIS is causing problems all over the world except for Israel. Hatred for the Jews is increasing, there will suddenly come a day when Jews will run and leave everything behind. Jews in Israel need to thank G-d every single second.

G-d loves Jews that have pity for Jews. Every person that has a high position in the IDF must guide the soldiers not to crush them and not to speak ill of them, not to jump to conclusions before everything has been verified. Dear Jews, you must watch over the IDF soldiers, they are only 18-19 years old. You must guide them on the right path and not take away their motivation. I don't wish upon any Jew to stand before a terrorist stabbing a soldier in cold blood. No one in the world can stand before the cruel sight of Jews beings stabbed in front of passersby. Everyone is a hero in their cozy office, but when it happens to someone, they become weak and see that they are nothing.

In the holy land, the holiday of Purim has gone by with joy in every home in Israel, there was nothing missing in any home or family. G-d gave gifts to all of the families in Israel; all of them had great joy! May this great joy turn into the revealing of the Messiah King in public! G-d wants the Jews to remember the meaning behind a holiday. For the people of Israel, every holiday comes with sadness and pain. G-d wants them to keep the holidays according to Halacha. Every holiday, G-d shows the people of Israel how hard it was, how the people of Israel were almost erased from the world and suddenly saw miracles, how G-d turned bitter into sweet and saved them.

In the holy land, nothing is missing. The rain comes with perfect timing, one hundred percent. The rain comes down in the south to destroy the tunnels. G-d doesn't ask anyone, He Himself destroys the tunnels. G-d is doing things that cannot be seen, saying things that cannot be understood, but eventually, everything happens accurately!

All of the citizens that hear noises in the ground - do not keep silent; tell the police and army, in the north and south.

Hamas, ISIS, and the Palestinians continue to dig 24 hours a day. They don't want peace, they want war with Israel.

In Egypt, Sisi is doing everything in Sinai desert to clean the place out; they are killing and being killed, opening and closing. There are many Egyptian soldiers being bribed from Gaza. Sisi isn't sleeping; he suspects everyone and fears betrayal. Sisi, there is a mole that wants to topple your regime. They are wrong; they will harm themselves and all of Egypt.

Syria cannot be redeemed; it has fallen and will not rise.

Russia has gotten rid of all of their old ammunition, and has done their training in Syria. They did good work and show the world their power and strength.

The United States is busy with the elections. Jews, instead of interfering with the elections, pray for G-d to give the United States the president that is right for the holy land. Jews must not interfere with the US elections, they can only pray.

In Turkey, there will be a full blown revolution. ISIS is planting seeds of destruction and driving all of the countries around Turkey toward Europe. Jews living in Turkey must come to Israel urgently. Don't wait for a second strike to understand, it is a shame! Jews in Israel - do not go traveling in Turkey. It is cheap, but it can cost your lives, don't say "it will not happen to me." In Israel, G-d is holding all of Israel with a Talit and a cloud of fire surrounds the borders.

Jordan is waiting for the US elections because they have millions of refugees that are eating it alive.

Lebanon is not interfering.

Nasrallah and Hezbollah don't have enough ammunition. Iran can't get it to them and Syria is dead, they can't help. There is no one to help them.

Iran is trying to send ammunition through Syria and Egypt, but they cannot attack Israel directly.

Esther the Queen and Mordecai the Jew keep them at bay every day. They have enlightenment from G-d that Israel is the chosen people, and they must not be touched! If Iran wants to do something to Israel, G-d will not wait one second; He will open the earth and swallow them!

Most of the countries in the world will fall apart financially, China, Japan, Asia, United States, and Europe don't have blessing in industry. G-d wants them to be subject to the state of Israel! The key to luck and blessing all over the world is in Israel!

G-d hates lust and is revealing everyone, be careful, repent now. All of those who take bribes, cheat, steal, they are all being revealed. G-d hates assimilation, alcohol abuse, drugs and gambling, it harms the honor and future of man.

There will be no tsunami on the beaches of Israel, only outside the borders of Israel. The people of Israel will continue to pray to G-d and all will be good.

The Messiah is everywhere working! G-d is hiding the Messiah. When the time comes, no one in the world will be able to stand against the Messiah, no person or country, not wind, fire, or earth, no nation and not the nuclear bomb. All of the clowns and those who mock will lose their lives; G-d is speaking in riddles so as not to take away free will. The Messiah is coming to bring order to the world in this generation! Every great rabbi in Israel knows who the Messiah is, where he lives and what he is doing all the time! They are afraid to reveal it, afraid that it will lower the value of their greatness. G-d has stopped postponing. The end is near! G-d is giving the people of Israel and the entire world all of the signs. It is in our time!

There is a very interesting article in Arutz 7 for all out Noachide friends. It looks like a message to you from Hashem.

Chief Rabbi: Gentiles living in Israel must observe Noahide Laws

A Very Important Hint to Successful Prayer

                                                                                          בס"ד

I have talked about the fact that prayer works.  In these days of final testing I am getting Emails from people who are having personal challenges that seem very difficult to overcome.  Hashem does not give us a test that we can’t satisfy.  But, our own attitude and performance in doing repentance and prayer can make all the difference in the world as to how easily the situation will be resolved.

There are many tips that I could give you or should I say that I have already given you over the past four years, but one big one that I feel needs emphasis is: “how you talk to Hashem.”  I must say that this topic was sparked by readers who have said that they are waiting for Nibiru to come and solve all their problems.  I tell them that Nibiru is only a sign, and that one must do all the necessary effort to make the time of Nibiru successful.

As an example: I have several readers who have medical problems and are waiting for the unsheathing of the sun as I mentioned in:

 What is Going to Happen and When?

But, I told them that the unsheathing of the sun, may not work for them if they are ignoring Hashem's messages.  The healing is completely dependent upon the individual turning to Hashem.

The healing could start worldwide, and one could find oneself not be worthy of it.  When I talk about personal attitude, and how you react to Hashem's messages, I am not guessing, it is the only path to salvation.  I have had individuals asking me to pray for them, which I have, but it is meaningless, unless each individual is doing his or her part. 

I am not guessing at this, and my proof is that I am getting many, many results from all over the world of people who are seeing tremendous improvements in their lives already.  I am also seeing people who failing to help themselves due to a terrible attitude.  It is so obvious that everything is measure for measure and not based on whether Nibiru is close or not.  When I say that the world will get so scary that every Jew will do Teshuvah, it means that all will come around to following Hashem, but not with the same spiritual level.  I have mentioned that a million Jews will have a million different levels of Tikun, correction, perfection.  Their futures will all be with Hashem but at different levels.

I have had some personal miracles in my family proving to me the impossible happens when the individual completely turns to Hashem and causes it to happen. 

The system is not that we pray to Hashem, and He makes a decision about whether He wants to help us or not.  Hashem never makes a decision.  He gave us a foolproof system that allows us to cause our own good fortune and healing.

I will give you only one example of people who have failed, since they have made the same ridiculous mistake.  I have heard from those who have said: "Hashem obviously doesn't like me."  That is called bribing Hashem, since it means all I have to do is try to make Hashem feel sorry for me.  When people try to trick Hashem with such meaningless words, they fail and do not accomplish success.  It is actually going against Hashem’s system and causes the situation to be worse.  Another way of bribing that I have heard many times is the individual that says:  “Hashem, You do this one thing for me and I will go to Synagogue every Shabbos.”  That is such nonsense since Hashem sees every Shabbos in one’s life and knows whether the person is sincere or just trying to trick Him.  It doesn’t work even if the individual would go every Shabbos – bribery is not how we deal with Hashem.

The best prayer for healing as an example is you asking for the healing of others.  In the Shemoneh Esrei we do not pray for ourselves, but sincerely want Hashem to help others, all Jews that need healing.  Then entire Shemoneh Esrei is in the plural – we, us.  The system works for those who use this formula, since we are included in the ones needing the healing.  This once again is not trickery or lip service, since we are totally honest in wanting to help others.  In other words, Hashem gave us the most perfect prayer to accomplish everything we want.  The person who tells me, I don’t use organized prayer, but just like to talk to Hashem from my heart.  That is good as a supplement, but to ignore the prayer that definitely works, leaves us with something less than perfection, and leaves us possibly with our prayers not being successful.  Hashem wants us to take care of each other and help each other.  If we pray in the singular, Please Hashem, cure me, Hashem looks at that as selfishness.  When we are concerned with helping everyone, Hashem is much more concerned about us.  That doesn’t mean He makes a decision at that time.  It means that the wording He gave us works when we consider others.

The “me” wording doesn’t work, unless you are in a very specific situation yourself.  I have been in situations such as a car breaking down and “me” needing help.  I just looked up and asked Hashem: How are you going to help me out of this situation?  In every case it happened miraculously, because I always turn to Hashem for everything.  The last time, as an example, it was a couple of hours before Shabbos; I didn’t have the time to call a tow truck, so I just locked the car on the side of the highway and asked my question of Hashem.  I put out my thumb and about 10 seconds later a truck stopped.  This was weird, since trucks don’t stop for a guy with a beard, a black suit and Tzitzis hanging out (fringes from my Tallis katan that I always wear).  I got in and noticed that truck driver was wearing a Yarmulke.  He asked me: are you going to Lakewood?  I said yes, and he took me to my front door.  Hashem works in mysterious ways, but if we ever meet, I have about two hours of boring stories like this to tell you.

Enough said for now.  My advice is: don’t reinvent the wheel.  Hashem’s system works perfectly.  Just use it correctly and you will be in awe of how all can go your way.  In these days of final testing, we need all the help we can get.  Hashem gave us all the help we need; let us use the system to our greatest advantage.  It works.

An Answer to a Very Pertinent Question

                                                                                     בס"ד
I received two messages from someone who comes across as very good person asking a very legitimate question. I decided to not put his or her username to avoid any possibility of Lashon Harah. First the comments:

March 24, 2016 at 11:18 PM
Yes, this is a very important message...but, seems quite humbling, to the Jewish people who do not have the money to fund their trip to Israel, pay for an expensive apartment, find a job for English speaking Americans, pay for food, clothing, etc? What do they do?

March 25, 2016 at 3:01 AM
What if we want to come to Israel, but do not have the money?

My response:
I have two answers for you that you won't care for, and another answer that you should like much more.

One, when the danger is so terrible, make a trip here on vacation, just to escape.

Two, I said this before, a while ago: if you don't have the money, it means you didn't turn to Hashem for help. This world of testing and allusion is not real. How well things go for you is strictly dependent upon how you, measure for measure, turn to Hashem. I have watched tens of thousands of people over a half century, and it has been totally consistent. Hashem has never, and I mean never, let down anyone who followed His ways. There is no such thing as: Hashem wanted to help someone, but couldn't. That is only in the mind of the skeptic.

Then there are those who give it lip service. “I did everything correctly, and it didn't happen for me.” Those people need the most Teshuvah. Instead of correcting their mistakes, they only think they did, or worse, pretend they did as if to trick Hashem into believing they did everything. They only deceive themselves.

I have received over ten thousand comments and Emails over the last four years on this blog. I am amazed at how many times my readers made statements about how lenient they can be on serving Hashem. They have a Rabbi who tells them it's OK not to be so strict; they found a charlatan on the web that gave them permission to do less, or worse, the wrong thing; they read a book about how much they don't have to do; this could be a long sentence so I will end it with, etc, etc, etc. Excuses are in no short supply.

I have had this comment about not being able to just drop everything and move to Israel many, many times. I have also mentioned how many decades the signs of danger have been prevalent. Thirteen years ago is when my family made Aliyah. We saw plenty happening then and realized it was time to come home. Any Jew paying attention to the evil world and the direction that it was going should have been concerned decades ago. If one studied scriptures, he or she would have seen the handwriting on the wall.” It was so obvious how bad it would get as we got closer to the Geula, and the many warnings about being in the safest place in the world for a Jew. That, we were told thousands of years ago.

I have also mentioned many times how history repeats itself. I grew up in a Jewish neighborhood in Philadelphia where many of my neighbors were Holocaust survivors. This was in the 1940’s right after they were liberated. They didn’t want to talk much, but yet they couldn’t keep it silent. I also lived in Germany for six years and spoke to many people, both Jews and non-Jews who lived through that dark time in history. One thing I learned was how the Jews of Germany in the 1930's thought that assimilation was the answer -- just blend into the goyishe population, after all they were our friends and neighbors, before they turned on us. And besides, how bad can it get? These people also had decades of horrors happening around them, and yet they never left. Good people who didn’t study Torah and who didn’t pay attention to all the messages that Hashem was sending. I am happy to report that there were 17 million Jews and non-Jews who saw what was happening in Europe and fled though Ellis Island at the beginning of the 20th century. Why then did so many Jews not heed the warning and get out? The same reason that so many Jews today never came to Israel over the past 20 years or so. How bad can it get? Hashem will protect us. Look how bad it is in Israel. Another long list of excuses, including: “It is not so bad here.” One caveat that I saw with Holocaust survivors was that they all turned to Hashem when things got so bad.

I have heard interviews on the web, and even heard from people that I have kept in contact with, who have said that the US now is much worse than Germany was in the 1930’s (this of course, includes the rest of the world outside of Israel). How can they say such a thing? The fact that we pay more attention to scriptures that are telling us so is one reason. But, how about the 800 FEMA camps that are already in operation, with millions of plastic coffins in storage. The concentration camps of Europe didn’t appear until the war started in 1939 with most of the death camps going into full operation with “the final solution” in 1941. If you thing hitler, yimach shemo, was an evil, diabolical tyrant, it is even worse what Gog Bush, Sr has in place with his cabal. They do plan to wipe out 93% of the world population to facilitate their New World Order. To make it worse, nobody fears this most evil of tyrants – he has is well hidden, his agenda and real personality. Even Obama, who works for Gog, is in the best position of power to carry out his evil plan, comes across as such a nice guy. hitler was barbaric and everyone knew it, out leaders today are worse, since they hide their evil ways.

A third answer that is a more pleasant thought. I know that what I have said so far is not pleasant and perhaps even very disturbing, but I wish to make some suggestions to avoid perpetuating the horrors of these days. There are so many Jews and even righteous non-Jews who pray to Hashem for complete protection from the coming devastation. But, how many are praying that Hashem should take them out of harm’s way by putting them in Israel. All Jews should be praying to still go to Israel before the end. All Jews should be doing Teshuvah about the mistakes they made by trusting the leaders and the evil governments instead of making every effort to leave. There is an old expression: “America, love it or leave it.” I left it and even let my passports run out to never go back again. Any relatives that want us to visit get the statement: “you come here instead.”

I am still curious whether miraculously all Jews and the lost tribes (all who are righteous non-Jews who are actually the lost tribes, and will be in Israel as well) will find themselves in Israel before the chaos grows to unbearable levels. Why? Because of the evaluation I did from Megillah 17b showing the sequence of events. The return of the people in exile happens before the devastation and the announcement of Moshiach. I am hopeful that Hashem is telling us in the Talmud, and other places, that His love and protection for all good people is a definite. We can never understand the hidden ways of Hashem, but we sure can benefit from those who follow His not-so-hidden ways.

I just want to make one statement to every one of my readers. If everything that I am saying about Nibiru, Geula, Moshiach, etc is totally wrong, but you react as Hashem has suggested, you will be much better off. If everything that I say is correct, you and your loved ones will be alive and experience much less suffering. Right or wrong, you win. It only requires you turning to Hashem and following His ways – a win-win situation. I mention this because I still continue to get Emails telling me that so-and-so thinks otherwise. It doesn’t make any difference. The time to do Teshuvah and bring yourself closer to Hashem is always today. It says in the Talmud that we should do Teshuvah the day before we die. How do we know when that will be? The point is: we don’t, so do it wholeheartedly as if tomorrow is the day. Good advice from Hashem.

Tomorrow, B”N, I have another helpful suggestion.
