Kabbalist Elder: Israel on Brink of War
*
by Baruch Gordon
(IsraelNN.com) A highly-regarded kabbalist elder from Bnei Barak has
issued a warning that the next war in Israel is on the way.
Rabbi Eliyahu Leon Levi, who frequents the Western Wall every Saturday
night to recite Psalms and teach Torah, told his students that there is
an "evil decree" of war looming on the horizon. According to the Rabbi,
Syria is liable to join Lebanon in firing missiles at the Jewish State
in the pending war.
The missiles will have a much greater range and carry much larger
warheads than katyusha rockets...
The missiles will have a much greater range and carry much larger
warheads than the katyusha rockets fired against Israel this past summer
in the Second Lebanon War which claimed some 156 lives, he noted.
"It's not going to be 'katyushas shmatyushas' this time which have only
tens of kilograms of explosives. The enemy will launch, G-d forbid,
rockets carrying 500 and 600 kilograms of explosives," Rabbi Levi told
his students.
On several occasions, Rabbi Levi first alerted Israeli military
authorities of security threats and movements of massive amounts of
enemy weapons, that were subsequently verified by IDF intelligence. The
kabbalist Rabbi said just before the Passover holiday that he does not
want to cause panic, but suggested that the Israeli public stock up on
two weeks of water, food supplies, candles and matches in case the
delivery of basic commodities is disrupted.
Rabbi Levi said that though Israel "may, G-d forbid, pay a heavy price
initially, the Jewish People would muster strength to crush their
enemies leading to a great sanctification of G-d's name through ultimate
victory."
He emphasized that the decree can be annulled through prayer,
repentance, and good deeds. "In the spiritual world, things can rapidly
change. But right now, it appears that war could break out soon after or
even during the Passover holiday." Rabbi Levi said that the allocation
of food to the needy and the great acts of charity which preceded the
Passover holiday made a great impression in the heavenly court and
sweetened the judgment to a degree.
"We are on the brink of redemption, and a great war is coming." he said.
"Whoever doesn't prepare himself spiritually is at great risk. A person
must turn to G-d in prayer and cry and confess his wrongdoings, and
rectify his ways. A person must recite Psalms as we do every Saturday
night here at the site of our holy temple. The recitation of Psalms
constitutes a spiritual rinsing of the mouth from idle talk, as well as
from the transgression of causing others pain through our speech. Come
with your children to cry and pray before G-d and ask forgiveness."
Rabbi Levi said that once the rockets start falling, it is too late for
a person to wake up and begin to rectify his ways. "Now is the time to
ask for mercy. If one doesn't do so, G-d have mercy on his soul - there
will be problems."
Rabbi Levi said that those who recite Tikun Hatzot (the Midnight
Rectification) along with a Tikun Yesod (rectification of the covenant
of sexual purity) will have an invincible shield of protection (ohr
makif) around him.
The kabbalist pointed to sexual wrongdoing, immodest dress, and
addiction to pornography on the internet as additional factors which
bring about harsh decrees on Israel.
