Moshiach ben Yosef in the Past

The following is a translation from Kol HaTor, chapter 1.

Od Yosef Chai (Yosef Still Lives) - Also many from the Forefathers, and many from the Prophets of Hashem, Kings of Israel, and many of the Tanna'im and Amora'im, and many of the Gedolei Yisrael and Men of Action in all the generations were in the line of Moshiach ben Yosef.

The first was Avraham Avinu in the secret of "How will I know that I will inherit it", and as is known, any language regarding inheritance which is said about Eretz Yisrael is in the line of Moshiach ben Yosef, and thus it is hinted in the word "I will inherit it (irashenah)" which is equal in gematria to "Moshiach ben Yosef". Avraham Avinu started with the first Atchalta DiGeulah, meaning redemption of the Kedushah of below, i.e. the earth of Eretz Yisrael.

Yitzchak Avinu entered into the line of Moshiach ben Yosef from the day of the Akeidah. This is also hinted at in his name Yitzchak which has the letters spelling Keitz Chai.

Yaakov Avinu, from the day he fought with the ministering angel of Esav, and Yaakov came complete. Complete to Sukkot.

Yehudah, from the day he saved Yosef.

Yosef, from the day of his first dream.

Moshe Rabbeinu from the day he took with him the bones of Yosef.

Yehoshua bin Nun, who was the first in Hashem's War with Amalek.

Shaul and David who both worked in the Wars of Hashem, and as is known that every War of Hashem is in the line of Moshiach ben Yosef, etc.

And in the later generations, also the Holy Ariza"l and his special student Rav Chaim Vital, and the Holy Rav the Ohr HaChaim were of the line of Moshiach ben Yosef as is known.

And in the last generation it is our Rabbi the GR"A who is the light of Moshiach ben Yosef, whose light goes before us and lights up the way. And also a few of his students merited, those who follow his command in the Vision of Tzion to receive from his spirit and from his great light in this line (of Moshiach ben Yosef).

  1. So, we should expect Moshiach ben Yosef to be overt in 5778 if you go with Seder Olam, or in 5783 if you go with the GR"A. And we had one in 5746, but they killed him.

  2. The GR"A makes more sense, and it lines up with things elsewhere, but the question remains, why did the mechaber of Seder Olam put so much dochak in to this calculation? Nonetheless, there is meaning to both... different, however.

    5746 - Either the abandoning of Pollard or the expulsion of Rav Kahane from the Knesset.

    Regarding Pollard:

    Pollard was caught in November 1985 and arrested after unsuccessfully seeking refuge at the Israeli Embassy.

    (from http://www.jonathanpollard.org/2003/111303e.htm )

    I'm unable to find a precise date for the Knesset and Kahane.

  3. Yes, Pollard also, the two go together well. Yosef rejected.

    Kahane was not expelled in 5746, but I think it was his greatest year in the Knesset, Moshav Sheni of the 11th Knesset. When he spoke, they left the Knesset, though they listened at the entrance. The media put him in cherem. Such was the year 5746.

  4. In 5746 the Knesset passed a law forbidding "incitement to racism," which was tailored to oust Kahane for the next elections.

  5. If a Jew sacrifices himself in such fashion and reaches such levels, it means suffering for him, but it is surely Chesed for Israel.

  6. From your words, the question of when still remains.

  7. In case this is something that you cannot answer, also note when the state was 17 years old, 1965, Eli Cohen was hanged.

  8. Yosef revealed himself when he was about 40 years. Forty years.

    ReplyDelete
  9. Yosef was 17 when he left his father, and 22 years he did not see him, so 39. Either way, what are you implying?

  10. I see from this that 5709 is the start for Moshiach ben Yosef events. See Moshe and Yehoshua.

    ReplyDelete
  11. I retract the prior comment. Pesach/Omer 5708 is the start point for this and the births as well, and all the events seem to be within the year anniversary of the State of Israel. I.e. Yonatan Pollard was sold out between Pesach 5745 and Pesach 5746, Eli Cohen between Pesach 5725 and 5726, Rav Kahane between Pesach 5750 and 5751.

    I need your help for yishuv of Avraham with Yishmael's birth, however. Seems off by 6 months.

  12. After the third Milchemet Gog uMagog, there are five months of Binyan HaBayit.

  13. What is the nafka minah between this and what will be built already?

    ReplyDelete
  14. This could be spiritual only, but I do not know. It could be repair also.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Min hastam this is cholek on the Ramcha"l, who says the spiritual building precedes the physical building. Nonetheless, that leaves only Yehuda as needing yishuv.

    ReplyDelete
  16. I am not certain, although 5729 was a year of chesed, and a year of many "universal" events.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Another issue that I have left out, the chibur of the Trein Meshichin. Is that immediate or after a number of years?

    ReplyDelete
  18. If we do Teshuva in time, Moshiach ben Yosef will be Moshiach ben David. If not, I do not know how this will be.

    ReplyDelete
  19. It is all dependent on the success of Eliyahu.

  20. Is it the purpose of this blog to share information only among the enlightened or might a clueless person ask for an explanation. Could you please be more detailed and specific about what is going on here in this discussion?

    Thanks.
