HaRav Moshe Chaim Schneider, a close talmid of HaTzaddik HaRav Dov Kook, went to his home in Tiveria on Sunday and showed him a photocopy from the ancient sefer ‘Kli Paz’ written by the Mekubal HaRav Shmuel Shmuel Laniado, z’tl, who lived about 500 years ago and was known as ‘Baal HaKeilim’—after his seferim: ‘Kli Paz,’ ‘Kli Chemdah,’ ‘Kli Yakar,’ and others.
HaRav Shmuel Laniado, who lived in Aram Tzova—Aleppo, Syria, wrote a comprehensive commentary on Sefer Yeshayahu. The original manuscript was printed after his passing, about 400 years ago, and became known as ‘Kli Paz.’
The passage presented to HaRav Kook aroused tremendous excitement, as it remarkably predicts events currently splashed across international headlines. HaRav Laniado wrote in his commentary on the passuk ‘כִּי זֶבַח לַיהוָה בְּבָצְרָהְ -‘For Hashem has a sacrifice in Botzrah’ (Yeshayahu 34:6).
“There is a country far from Bavel whose name is Botzrah, and it is between the border of Assyria and Persia and between the border of the land of Edom—’Hormuz’—and it is today under the rule of the Yishamelim, and who knows the truth of these things—perhaps the war will be there at the end of days.”
These words are chilling in light of the current geopolitical situation, as Iran has threatened to retaliate against the US by blocking the Strait of Hormuz, the world’s most important oil passageway. About a third of the world’s seaborne oil traffic passes through the strait from Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Iraq, Iran, Kuwait, and Bahrain, as well as liquefied natural gas from Qatar.
The Strait of Hormuz is between Oman and Iran, which has a fleet of attack boats and thousands of missiles and naval mines, which it could use to threaten any ships that pass through. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt on Monday warned Iran against closing the Strait of Hormuz. “I can assure you, the administration is actively and closely monitoring the situation in the Strait of Hormuz, and the Iranian regime would be foolish to make that decision,” she said.
HaRav Kook was very moved upon seeing the passage, and he said to his talmid, “Ashrecha that you were zocheh to such a revelation that may awaken thousands of Jews to teshuvah. It is a great zechus to publish it.”

ABSOLUTELY SHOCKING
We all know the famous and honest truth of the fact that “There’s no such thing as coincidence ” and that every situation-from personal situations to public worldwide tragedies Chas VShalom-all have a SHOCKING MESSAGE DIRECTLY FROM HASHEM (not to be found in any sefer in the world or heard from any Gadol Hador speaking in a shiur or Shmuz or read in any newspaper and neither is it from me a internet writer businessman but actually DIRECTLY FROM HASHEM)
Below is a SHOCKING MESSAGE from Thousands of Years ago that recame back alive many times in the last generation sadly as we always need wake-up calls from Hashem our loving father.
THE MESSAGE
the wise king Shlomo Hamelech (Solomon) relates in Koheles (Proverbs), there is a time & place for everything & then lists over 25 instances, from a time to be born to a time to die & then from a time to be rich & vice versa etc…. he then continues & reaches the passuk relating the instance “for a time of Calamity comes to them all”. Do you know which Pasuk this is in Koheles? It is the Passuk of 9-11 (the 9th Chapter & 11th sentence), relating to Tisha B’av. The day set aside by Hashem to be a day of mourning. Is this coincidence? Is this not shocking? Look at the list of so many calamities & tragedies that has occurred in the past relating to 9-11. (from the ones which I have already mentioned to some which I may mention soon) How many thousands of years ago was the book of Koheles written? Who made it come out to be this Passuk of 9-11? was it Shlomo Hamelech or was it Hashem? This is another message from Hashem for us to stop our way of life we are living in today’s generation….-Which we think is perfect & Sinless-immediately & start doing Teshuva
May we finally accept Hashem’s wake up call message for serious Teshuva and Achdus together as one loving nation so Hashem can finally send mashiach already bkarov
“Perhaps” is not exactly a prediction.
Maybe Batzrah is Basra, Iraq
