As everyone
already knows, we just had the Jewish New Year last October 1. We are
now already in the beginning month of the 5780th year of the Hebrew
Calendar. What to expect this year which extends through to the year 2020 of the Gregorian calendar? First,
we already have what could be the beginning of World War 3. It started
when Turkey made an offensive into the North of Syria. It has been going
on for about two weeks now.
Where did I get the idea? It is from the Chofetz Chaim, a Jewish sage and holy man. This came from him. I found this on the internet:
“These
were the words said by Rabbi Yosef Ben Porat, in the name of the
Chofetz Chaim, who said during the First World War, that 25 years after
it, another war will break out which will make the first one seem like a
child’s game, and 75 years after that will come a third war, greater
than the rest, making the second world war seem like a child’s game, and
then the messiah will come."
Let us analyze the
quote. First the Chofetz Chaim was correct about the prophecy of the
Second World War beginning 25 years after the First one. Since he was at
the time of the First World War, it was only natural that the starting
point of reference that was revealed to the people was the beginning of
the First World War and not the end of it which was still hidden for
the people in those days. It naturally could not be the time the prophecy is revealed either as it has significantly less importance and connection compared to the one previously mentioned.
Next, the Chofetz Chaim also
prophesied that the Third World War would begin 75 years after the
Second one. Here the count started from the end of the Second World War
as it is the natural one, and one which does not overlap with the
previous part. The Second one, as we all know, ended on 1945. 1945 + 75
years = the year 2020 or the present 5780th Jewish year. The Third World
War may have already begun and we may see more developments as time
goes on. We don't know how long it would exactly take for this Third
world war to be over. But even then, the truth of the matter will
eventually be known to us. The more important thing to do is to be aware
and to be always prepared. There can be nothing lost, but only gained by doing so. Being reader and follower of this blog, you already
know what to do. You can even invite me, as I had previously mentioned.
To those who
don't know the Chofetz Chaim, here is a little information about him.
He is very famous on his teachings and books about the ethics of speech.
You can find them and the additional information about him freely on
the internet. And this also goes to show what when it comes to guarding
his tongue, he was on a saintly level. Lying and making up things is not
what he would do.
