A Message to Am Yisrael in the Land and throughout the world

The King of Kings, the Holy One blessed be He, redeemed Am Yisrael from Egypt. Just as then there was antisemitism, in the heart of Paro and the Egyptians towards the Jewish people (Bnei Yisrael), due to their being a treasured nation with success and huge numbers, so too it is today! The entire world is Egypt and the Jews are scattered throughout the world! The difference is, that at the time of leaving Egypt, Eretz Yisrael was not yet ready for Am Yisrael, and Am Yisrael was not yet ready for Eretz Yisrael. But in the year 1948 the Holy One established the state of Israel and prepared the holy Land to signal an end to the final exile and to accept all the Jews scattered throughout the world!

Just as then the Holy One wanted Paro and the Egyptians to drive out Bnei Yisrael from Egypt into the desert and ultimately to the holy Eretz Yisrael – so too today! There is a harsh and heavy antisemitism and hatred of Jews in the world, driving out the Jews from all of the impure lands and the Jews have no choice but to come and make aliyah to the holy Eretz Yisrael – against their will! When the gentiles see the Jews scattered throughout the world, the hatred against them grows because – the Jews’ place is in Eretz Yisrael! All the clowns and big talkers say: “We will not leave the impure lands, we will prove to them that we are strong and courageous!” They are making a huge and bitter mistake! The Holy One will not give up on them! This kind of thinking and talk go against and neutralize all that the Holy One is doing, hinting to the Jews through disastrous forces of nature, that it’s necessary to come to Eretz Yisrael, because the Master of the world is redeeming them from exile and we stand at the edge of the revelation of King Mashiach and the building of the Temple! This is what Hashem is saying: “All the Jews that I have exiled and scattered throughout the world, come and make aliyah to the holy Eretz Yisrael!” We are living in Eretz Yisrael with every right! This is our country! The Holy One promised it to our ancestors and is keeping his promise to them – that all Jews will be here!

We have to make every personal effort to serve the Holy One, to repair our character, to keep the Ten Commandments, and to pressure Jews in the Diaspora to make aliyah to Eretz Yisrael as quickly as possible! There is no time!

Am Yisrael is a singular nation, a treasured nation! The Holy One has caused hatred and antisemitism against the Jews in order that there shouldn’t be assimilation and mixing with the gentiles! In Egypt, as the Egyptians hated all the Jews – men and women, so too do we find antisemitism throughout the world where the gentiles hate the Jews, because the place of the Jews is in the holy Eretz Yisrael! Am Yisrael is on one side – the gentiles are on the other side!

The Holy One occasionally gives Am Yisrael a “shove” in order to wake them up, to not forget the Creator and believe in Him! We the Jews must cry and petition before the Creator – like a child grabbing the tzitzit strings of his father – that He should protect us from the Arab nations that surround us and from all harm!

The government of Israel and the Armed Forces of Israel – get moving! Have no fear! Quietly! Only we have the power to protect our own Land! We must be vigilant in the security of Eretz Yisrael! Iran, Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, they constitute one ring, waiting for their commands from Iran! Tzahal must be vigilant! We must protect our souls and our nation, we cannot forget the Holocaust, no one will save us, only the Master of the world protects us! The Holy One taunts the gentile nations, creating confusion and arguments between and among them everywhere, so that they should not focus on Am Yisrael and harm them! Once again, their swords will enter their own hearts! In Eretz Yisrael, the Jews need not fear any enemy! When in the government of Israel, everyone will be of like mind, with one heart and work secretly – there will be only huge success! When Am Yisrael is united, unified, love each other and keep the Ten Commandments – the Holy One brings down the Shechina which surrounds them and protects them from harm! Eretz Yisrael will be protected and safe!

Antisemitism is very strong in the world! It is boiling with bubbles! All Jews must come to Eretz Yisrael urgently without delay! In the entire world except for in Eretz Yisrael – everyone claws at the other! In Eretz Yisrael – the economy is good, the most dependable and reliable in the world!

After the Pesach holiday, the Holy One will turn up the pressure and tighten the belt on Jews across the world, in many significant ways, to cause them to run away from the Diaspora and come to live in Eretz Yisrael!

Debased cruise ships got their warning! In not too far a time, they will begin sinking in the sea – only the ones with Jews on them! Terrible forces of nature will continue and increase so that impurity and hatred can be destroyed in the world! The economy in Europe will continue to crash! The economy in America will continue to crash! All for the purpose of Jews coming to Eretz Yisrael! Nothing will help them!

Jews in the Diaspora: Instead of stubbornly remaining there – be stubborn and come to the holy Eretz Yisrael to live here!

On this Pesach we must be extremely happy, to gladly welcome many guests and do many deeds of kindness!

All giants of Israel, on all levels and in all sectors, you need to work and labor for unity and love among Am Yisrael, a unity among Jews in Eretz Yisrael and the Diaspora, and to put pressure on Jews living there to come to Eretz Yisrael! Pity for every second they lose by living there!

Anyone who gets in the way of Jews coming to Eretz Yisrael, will go straight to the Master of the world for judgment! Don’t ignore the hints and signs of the Holy One – the Creator of the world!

From this Pesach holiday, the intense light of Mashiach will be felt even more! If King Mashiach will not be revealed now – 7 billion people in the world will disappear! And the Creator of the world promised that he will never again destroy the world! Therefore, Mashiach is waiting to be revealed so that there will not be a third world war and not be massive destruction!

Jews! Come to Eretz Yisrael, and build a world of love and kindness! Change the bitter to become sweet! To build the Holy Temple! The world is on its way to redemption with mercy and the revelation of Mashiach ben David!
