Jordan Welcomes Pope

Arriving in Jordan Benedict XVI on Friday expressed his “deep respect” for Muslims and his desire for the Catholic Church to play a vital role in fostering peace in the Middle East. Jordan’s King Abdullah II mentioned that Middle East peace has not recovered since his predecessor came to Israel in 2000. The previous Pope’s statement in Bethlehem, after assuring authorities his aims were only spiritual, demanding a Palestinian State began the Second Intifata.

The two thousand years of Rome mentioned throughout the Torah came to an end with the last Papal visit followed closely after by the assault upon Islam with their war in Iraq–the modern day crusade. Christianity whose population in the Middle East has dropped from 20 to two percent since the time of the British Mandate is quickly becoming irrelevant.

The Torah/Teaching says in the End of Days the arrogant who lift themselves into the heavens will be brought down to the earth. We live in prophetic times and this visit promises many surprises.

Dylan Releases 33rd

Bob Dylan prophet of our times for over fifty years has released his 33rd album; fifty is considered forever in the Torah as in a slave who sells himself forever goes free after 50 years and 33 is also famous.

The release of the 33rd album comes precisely two weeks before the holiday known as Lag Bomer the 33rd day of counting the omer. The 33rd day of the Omer is famous because it is when Rabbi Shimon ben Y’Choi author of the Zohar-Book of Secret 2000 years ago passed away.

Rabbi Shimon instructed his students to celebrate at his passing because he was going back to his essence–this day is celebrated throughout the world with dancing and fire.

In Cabala 33 is known as deep of the deep after that begins the process of illumination; as Bob says in his new album–I feel a change coming on.
