Where are we situated on our father Ya’akov’s ladder to heaven and the promises made by HaShem regarding Am Yisrael?
The Midrash (Beraishiet 42,4) quotes Rabbe Elazar bar Avina:
אם ראית מלכיות מתגרות אלו באלו צפה לרגלו של משיח תדע שכן שהרי בימי אברהם, על ידי שנתגרו המלכיות אלו באלו באה הגאולה לאברהם.
If you perceive nations aggressively provoking each other (with war) be prepared for the approach of the Mashiach (salvation), as we learn from Avraham Aveinu who was saved at the time when nations were provoking each other (the four kings against the five of Sedom and Amora etc)
Russia has invaded Ukraine with the intent to annex it back as part of greater Russia.
If it passes over and human lust returns to the stock markets and living in fun, then the Mashiach is still a few kilometers away. However, if many nations succumb to the addiction of power grabbing then the time for doing fast teshuva just prior to the Mashiach has arrived.
For example:
* North Korea invades South Korea.
* Turkey takes over the southern half of Cyprus and begins bombing its Kurdistan enclaves.
* India and China battle it on the high ridges of the Himalayas.
* Egypt opens war on Ethiopia over the Nile waters or turns its American-made weapons north-eastward against Israel.
* The US closes its border with Mexico and fighting ensues.
Now if it turns out that the signs are real, then life will not return to what it was until now. The best insurance policy to prevent the need for an insurance policy is to be here in Eretz YIsrael.
Remember in HaShem’s “eyes” JLMM - Jewish Lives Matter Most.
Shabbat Shalom

May it then be H's Will that every Yid will find him/herself in Eretz Yisrael!
We pray H' brings the Geulah Shleimah b'Chesed v'Rachamim!
