THE CABALA OF JERUSALEM

Yesterday, Jerusalem Day, marked the 1967 reunification of the city under Jewish rule brought protests from all sides; the reunification caused the Temple Mount returned to Jewish hands for the first time since the Romans razed the holy site 1900 years ago.

This 45 year anniversary has cabalistic inferences; the number 45 is one of the four numbers implicit in the YHVH and is the gematria of Adom/Human; 45 is also the gematria of Mah/What – a question amplified by the political forces that have infringed on God’s territory.

The Temple Mount was purchased by Dovid 3000 years ago; Dovid was the first Jewish king in the line of kings leading to Moshiach – Dovid was chosen for his lack of politics and his devotion to God. Now, the travesty of politics has invaded even to the Temple Mount without resolution.

The Zohar-Book of Secret predicts, In the end the tribe of Reuben will return to Israel, take over the land, make war on their neighbors and terrorize the world – they will win but they will not remain because they came for the wrong reason. Politics is antithetical to God.

The only reason for the Jewish People to go to Israel is to respect the land by performing the 613 Commandments, many of which can only be done on the land. The word Jerusalem means: Complete Fear – not the fear of war nor the fear of nations, but the fear of God.

Passover 5770

Next year is Jerusalem are the words that have ended each and every Passover sedar for the last 2000 years, a prayer to God to redeem Israel.

The Rambam who 1000 years ago wrote the laws to the 613 Commandments in the the Torah concluding with the laws of Moshiach; he quotes the Talmud-Book of law that the only change will be, Israel will no longer be under the rulership of worldly kings.

These three words, Next Year in Jerusalem is called by the name Nertza/What We Want; after getting free, the process of the sedar makes one free, then comes the question: now that we are free, what do we want–the Jewish People want Jerusalem, our eternal spiritual center.

The word Yerulshaliam/Jerusalem is composed two words, Yira/Fear and Shalom/Complete; the word Yira/Fear is made from the word Reih/Sight–in Jerusalem God is watching. In the time of the Temple people went “to see and be seen.” In our time all the world is watching and judging the Jewish People. Will we agree to lay asunder our holy city for the promise of political peace?

The word Shalom means both Complete and Peace; in the city of complete fear to have complete peace there must be the undivided city. Next Year in Jerusalem!

Builders and Claimers

Palestinians have condemned the latest plans for more Jewish homes in East Jerusalem, announced as Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu ended a US visit.

Avraham 3800 years ago and the two generations afterwards, the basis for the Jewish, Arab, Roman, Aryans and Vedic Peoples, took root in the Land of Canaan. Canaan had been the fourth child of Chom who populated Africa after the flood–his fourth child had been cursed to be a slave.

The Midrash-Book of Metaphor says, God let the slave hold the land until the people destined to live on land arrived; among those peoples were the Palestinians who traditionally lived in the south–they were known as a hard and fierce people. The Torah relates instances of repetitive Palestinian behavior–claiming what does not belong to them–in those times it was the wells dug by Avraham and his offspring; today it is Jerusalem.

The Palestinians will always claim and the Jewish People will always built as it says in the Talmud–Book of Law, Don’t say Bunim/Children but Bunim/Builders. The Cabala connects Movey Plastine/Open Alley with people whose claims are like the wind through an open alley.

While the Muslim People point to Mecca and the Roman People point to Rome the Jewish People point to Jerusalem, eternal capital of the Jewish People.

The Most Dangerous Place

President Obama recently called the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan as "the most dangerous place in the world."

The problems in Kashmir and the difficulties with the Palestinians both result from the borders and the partitions erected by the English in 1948 when Israel became a state and have been the epicenters of world discord ever since.

The Khaiber Pass, Kashmir and Jerusalem are all ancient portals to the heavens as clearly described in the Torah/Teaching. Warring at spiritual portals are ways to war against Heaven—there are those who believe God sits in Heaven and therefore they war against Heaven. Spiritual ascension is a war against the negative energy implicit in physicality—those bent on war against God exploit those holy places by means of cruel dictates.

Just as war in a spiritual portal strikes at the very essence so too the solution must reach the very essence of the problem. When the Jewish, Muslim and Hindu Peoples realize there is no contradiction from their texts then the portal can be opened and new light can come to the world.
