“I talked with the messiah,” that is the claim being made by a prominent Rabbi in Israel according to Breaking Israel News.
Rabbi Zissholtz then explained several recent statements made by Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky, one of the most prominent rabbis of this generation, concerning the Messiah.
“Rabbi Kanievsky is so holy that he has ruach hakodesh (holy spirit, prophecy),” Rabbi Zissholtz said. “At first, five years ago, Rabbi Kanievsky said ‘The Messiah is at the door.’ Then, a bit later, he said that Messiah already passed the threshold of the door. Not so long ago, he said that Messiah is already here. He most recently told Rabbi Chulak that Messiah is already here with both feet speaking with me. These are various revelations of Mashiah, each one a greater revelation than the previous one. Every word uttered by Rabbi Kanievsky is weighed and doesn’t say extraneous words.”
Wow, that is a bold and shocking claim—“the messiah is talking with me.” Let’s see what else this rabbi says and then we will evaluate what he is saying in light of God’s Word.
The Sea of Galilee sign
“Ten years ago, Israel was suffering from a horrible drought. Someone asked Rabbi Kook when the Kinneret (Sea of Galilee) will be full. Rabbi Kook said, When the Messiah arrives, the Kinneret will be full.’”
“In a few weeks, the Kinneret will be full for the first time since Rabbi Kook made this statement,” Rabbi Zissholtz said.
The Gog Magog war
“We are currently in the midst of the War of Gog and Magog. In the War of Gog and Magog, the actual shooting and fighting with physical weapons will only come at the end.”
The Israeli Elections
“Another tzaddik said that according to the current situation in heaven, there will not be Israeli elections – rather, there will be a war. This will be a reaction to the Deal of the Century. This is the current status however it can be changed in heaven…”
No one will take the government away from Netanyahu. As Rabbi Kaduri and the Lubavitcher Rebbe both said, Bibi will be the last prime minister before Messiah.
As I said it before; those are some bold claims; let’s consider them in light of God’s Word.
God’s Word explicitly tells us that the next messiah to come will be the false messiah—the antichrist.
5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
8 All these are the beginning of sorrows…
15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:
21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. Mt 24
In that passage Jesus tells us that false christs will arise toward the time of the end, along with wars, earthquakes, etc. Then comes the abomination of desolation performed by the false messiah—the antichrist. It is at this time that Israel recognizes that this is the false messiah, and flees into the wilderness.
This is then followed by the Seal 5 great tribulation and then the Seal 6 rapture in which the true Messiah—Jesus Christ—comes to the clouds to rescue His children. Jesus will not step onto the Earth until after the battle of Armageddon.
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. Mt 24
So the timing is clearly presented in God’s Word;
False messiah revealed
Abomination desolation
Israel flees
Seal 5 great tribulation
Seal 6 true Messiah appears, saints raptured.
Still not convinced, look at this passage.
1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? 2 Thes 2-5.
The timing is clear and confirmed; the antichrist must come before the rapture—the false messiah must come before the true Messiah. The false messiah comes first. So this messiah that the rabbi is talking to cannot be the real one but the false one.
And here is another clue that the rabbi is speaking about the false messiah.
“I no longer travel outside of Israel. The Messiah is so close that I am afraid that I might miss his arrival. Rabbi Kanievsky said the Messiah is here, in Israel, but he did not give a precise time when he will be revealed. He is here but he does not have all the power he needs to act as the Messiah. All of the signs given in the Talmud, in Jewish tradition, have already appeared.”
Notice what he says, “he is here but does not have all the power to act as the messiah.” That is not Jesus, that he is talking about, because Jesus had all the power that He was supposed to have at His first coming, and will also at His second coming. Thus he has to be talking about the false messiah.
And when will the false messiah get all of his power? After his head wound and fake resurrection.
3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
All of this data causes me to consider the possibility that the false messiah is near to coming onto the scene. And if he is near to coming onto the scene, then we are near to the midpoint of the last 7 years of which he will rule the world for the last 3.5 of those years.
And if we are nearing the midpoint then we are nearing or are in the time period in which the first 4 Seals will be opened and the 4 horses of the apocalypse will begin riding through the earth. This may indeed be a definite possibility, see the post; Are We Hearing the Hoof Beats of the 4 Horses of the Apocalypse?
I believe that the definitive sign that the Seals have been opened will be the Mid-East nuclear WW3 or Gog-Magog war as the rabbi calls it. When you see this war we will know for sure.
Don’t forget that the false messiah man of sin will have UFO connections and may even claim to have been involved in starting life on this planet—his I am your god rhetoric. Here is a post about that; Pastors; Please Warn Your Flock About The Coming UFO ET Deception. Now you know the reason for the image at the beginning of this post; the e.t. who is wearing a depiction of a crown that the Jews have made for the coming false messiah.
Here is an excerpt from The Coming Epiphany about this.
The devil has been orchestrating a great deception at the hand of aliens, and by their own admission, they will be part of it. Here is a quote that reveals the greatest purpose of their deception.
“Aliens utilize standard New Age terminology when they communicate with their human “contactees.” The best illustration of this is their teaching to the “contactees” that “the Ascended Masters of the Hierarchy” are preparing to intervene again in world History, to lead mankind to a higher level of consciousness. They will select a human person and endow him with superhuman powers and knowledge. This man will lead us to world government and world peace.”[1]
So there you have it the false messiah/antichrist by all accounts is near to coming onto the scene. Will it be this year, next year, or the next? Time will tell, but when you see WW3 know that his appearance will be imminent.
Personal note: I am in a lot of pain from a probable infection, as of yet antibiotics are not working, it is getting hard to function normally and go about my daily routines—not getting much sleep either. Your prayers are requested and appreciated.
