Is ISIS the war of Gog U'Magog?

If you read more history, you would know that the sorts of things ISIS is doing are actually what many armies have done throughout history. That it is considered criminal by some countries is the hiddush, but not a new one. Even in the middle ages, many people objected to such barbarity (not that they stopped it). ISIS is actually fairly normal for goyim. We’ve been “spoiled” by living in America.

The way Americans conquer countries by minimizing civilian casualties and helping the people they conquered is rather new and unusual (and note how the “left” is constantly denouncing the Americans).

What caused you to think of googling kosher windex?

I had one that said for commecial use only that I couldn’t find an ou symbol on. It was the “regular” blue variety that IIRC normally has an ou on the back of the label (seen from the other side). Many of the colored ones aren’t kosher. Windex comes in handy when cleaning tabletops etc.

FriendInFlatbush: The Chofetz Chaim spoke about Milchemes Gog U’ Mogog, saying that it would be a three part way. The first being WW1 and the second, in about 25 years afterwards, a war that would be devastating to Jews and the third part, a type of war unlike any other.

Terrorism seams to fit that bill very well, so it would appear that this is certainly part of Gog U’ Mogog.

The Zohar says that Techias Hamaysim is supposed to begin between 210-214 years before the year 6,000. We are not very far away from that now, with so much needed to occur before that.

Don’t worry, not eating it… I only use it on surfaces that may come in contact with food but are not a regular/frequent eating vessel.

And although Google is my friend I find he doesn’t mind when I communicate in “shorthand”…

Seriously I still feel YW shouldn’t have let that pancake comment through but maybe I’m being paranoid.

Just a quick note regarding M’s comment that he had a nevuah:

Shouldn’t you be careful not to say that even as a joke as technically you are now a novi sheker?

barry,

where is this zohar?

I think there is no zohar but hes probably refering to the gra somewhere that splits the last thousand years into the 24 hours of friday and connects each “hour” to a medrash somewhere about what adam harishon did each hour. The end of the “hour” the gra says will bring the geula is 1947 after the UN vote but before 5 iyar. Probably a later hour corresponds with techiyas hameisim. I dont remember the details maybe someone can help me. R Avigdor Miller explains the danger of dreaming about mashiach is because we may not deal properly with the present and see the good in what hashem does now and instead say when this happens it will be good, which is not true ahavas hashem as the rambam quoted above.

No one knows. We’ll figure it out post facto.

oh i got excited for a second when i saw gog. I thought that was half my name.
