zahavasdad-I’m not saying that the fall of Russia didn’t affect the Jews, it did. But the political changes today in the Arab world are more in sync with what’s supposed to happen at the end of days, where everyone will turn against Israel, and fight over the status of Jerusalem. Isn’t that exactly what’s happening now?
repharim-you really should read Rabbi Pinchas Winston’s book, entitled ‘End of Days’. According to his timeline, the world will last 6000 years, but Techiyas HaMeisim will last 210 years, which brings us to the latest possible time Mashiach can come as 5790, which is only 18 years away! There was also an interesting lecture once by Rabbi Mendel Kessin about 9/11 that talked about the end of days, which was in sync with a lot of Rabbi Winston’s info.
