Nissan
I wanted to address two related rather ancient misunderstandings regarding the month of Nissan. Nissan is Rosh HaShana of kings. One can ask the question in what year, of the King, we live.
The year in Nissan follows the year in Tishrei. It does not precede it. The King became king, as it were, on the first of Nissan. The Sun was created on the fourth day of Nissan, and man was created on the sixth day of Nissan. And the month of Nissan 5772 is the first month of the 5772th year of the King.

Kiddush HaShem
The prophet Ezekiel, in a magnificent and soul-shattering, fundamental explanation, speaks (Chapter 36:19-24) of the wrath of G-d directed at the Jews because of their sins and His driving them into Exile:
"I scattered them among the nations, into which they came, they desecrated My holy Name, in that men said of them, 'These are the people of the L-rd and they are gone out of His land!'
"But I had pity on My holy Name, which the House of Israel had desecrated among the nations, into which they came.
"Therefore, say to the House of Israel, thus says the L-rd: I do not do this for your sake, O House of Israel, but for the sake of My holy Name, which you have desecrated among the nations, to which you came.
"And I will sanctify My great Name which was desecrated among the nations, which you have desecrated among them; then the nations will know that I am the L-rd, says the L-rd G-d, when I become sanctified IN YOU before their eyes.
"For I will take you from among the nations, and gather you out of all the lands, and I will bring you to your own land."
Jews! Read these words and understand. Understand just who we are and what we are. Understand the essence of Desecration and Sancification!
Do you want to know how the Name of G-d is desecrated in the eyes of the mocking and sneering nations? It is when the JEW, His people, His Chosen, is desecrated! When the JEW is beaten, G-d is profaned. When the JEW is humiliated - G-d is shamed! When the JEW is attacked - it is an assault upon the Name of G-d!
"And when they came into the nations, they desecrated My holy Name." The very fact of Exile, the very reality of the Jews being driven from their land and forced to dwell as beaten strangers in foreign lands - THIS ITSELF IS HILLUL HASHEM, DESECRATION OF THE NAME OF G-D!
..."For I will take you from among the nations, and gather you out of all the lands, and I will bring you to your own land." An end to Exile - that is Kiddush Hashem.

In These Days
In these days of historic destiny, when war and violence threaten us from all sides and all our enemies thirst for the destruction of the Jewish state and people, the categorical imperative for the Jew is to know himself, to understand the greatness and uniqueness that is inherent in him as an individual and as a people, to appreciate from whence he came and to what glorious and unstoppable destiny he marches...
The Jew is like no other people on earth. He can neither be like the goyim nor amongst them. He is special, unique, chosen. He is the Chosen people of G-d with a special destiny, mission and task. There is nothing the gentile can do to oppose this and there is nothing the Jew can do to escape from it...
The G-d of the Jews is the G-d of History. He is. He exists. He is real. He dominates and controls. He shapes the present and decrees the future...

Two Views
In the view that נ"ב is 45,128 "years" plus 7,000 - 128, we live in a Universe that is currently 13755317923 years (45128*304805 + 73440 + 4443) old.
In the view that נ"ב is the latter part of 45,128 "years", as explained in the previous post, the two culminating in 6129, we live in a Universe that is currently 13755249683 years (45128*304805 - 357) old.

The Song
Earlier we presented the age of the Universe as 46,000 "years", up till day 42 of the "Omer", up till 6,000 years of the week before Shabbat Bereishit. Together 52,000 years.
This was a preliminary calculation. Later, we changed the 46,000 into 45,128 "years", and hence we "broke" the 52,000. As it happens, the 52 generations of 120 years from year -111 to 6129 come to replace the notion of 52, the number of Malchut, the number of Knesset Yisrael. Further, the 45,128 years are a broken version the name of HaShem, corrected as it were in the year 6129.
And so we have the two holy names associated to the year 6129. Who understands will sing with me.

The Fiftieth Level
From here:
"From the rule of Chochma in year -111 until 6129 are 6240 years, by Hashgacha a number close to 6000. These are the years that saw the rise and the evolution of human culture. The word B'Reshit hints, via the letter Bet, at two beginnings, the first through Keter and beyond, and the second through Chochma. During the ages, until modern times, the beginning through Keter was not known. Only the beginning through Chochma was revealed. Correspondingly, the world was held to be young. Correspondingly, the final redemption could not come until our times."
Moshe wrote according to what was revealed to him, according to 49 levels of Bina. According to the fiftieth level, redemptive history is divided into 50 generations of 120 years, starting with the year -111. In the year 5769, the fiftieth generation started. And so we see how the fiftieth level of Bina is called Keter, because only knowledge about Keter leads to the fiftieth level. Keter is Truth. The world is ancient.

מש"ה
El Shaddai versus HaShem, Shemot 6:2. In truth, also to Moshe was HaShem not revealed completely. He lacked Keter, the Kotz of the Yud. He lacked the 50th level of Bina. Hence, the Land was conquered by the left, through Gevura, not by El Shaddai, and Moshe was exiled trying to restore, to reach Keter. Am Yisrael will find him, as he will succeed.

איל משולש
At the end of איל משולש, in chapter 10, the GR"A hints at the year 5836. He writes that the product of the first three digits hints at בשגם הוא בשר (Bereshit 6:3, Kol HaTor 3:4). Year 5836 is 40 years after 5796, which fits what we have said.

Moshiach
Moshiach of the center, Moshiach of the right, and Moshiach of the left.
Moshiach of the center was not Shabtai Tzvi, but Hillel HaZaken. Without law, we have nothing.
Moshiach of the right was not Yeshu, but the Vilna Gaon. Perfectly faithful to the law of Hillel, the external Torah, he gave us the internal Torah.
Moshiach of the left was not Bar Kochba. His army was based on man, only man. The army of Moshiach is divine. HaShem will fight his wars.

I cited this Pasuk in a Mahalach to prove that the Galut will be over in 5774. It seems therefore significant that the gematria of חַי-יְהוָה; שִׁיכְבִי, עַד-הַבוקֶר is 773, which would refer to the year 5774. See here and here. Regarding Rav Fish's writings, read this.

Internet Trend: Lunar Cycle Secret (sic)
From A7 today:
0.734259/24 = 0.0305941 days. The difference with 0.0305900 is fatal for the message.
0.000001 day is 0.0864 seconds, far from "one thousandth of a second." Times five gives that the "old" number, 0.0305941 days, is some half a second off.
Finally, the impression that "science", from Nasa to Berlin, has halved the discrepancy is, eh, ridiculous, at best.
Errors:
The Talmud states that the lunar cycle spans ‘29.5 days and 793 fractions of an hour’. In Talmudic terms, the hour is divided into 1080 parts.
793/1080 = 0.734259 hours.
0.734259/24 = 0.03059 days.
29.5 days + 0.03059 days = 29.53059 days for the moon to travel around Earth.
NASA Research concluded that the lunar cycle is 29.530588 days, two 1/1000ths of a second short of the Talmudic figure. More advanced research in Berlin came to a figure of 29.530589 days, only one thousandth of a second short of the Talmudic figure.
The Sinai tradition of the span of the lunar cycle is thus corroborated by figures reached via advanced satellites and atomic clocks.
0.734259/24 = 0.0305941 days. The difference with 0.0305900 is fatal for the message.
0.000001 day is 0.0864 seconds, far from "one thousandth of a second." Times five gives that the "old" number, 0.0305941 days, is some half a second off.

Emergencies
The US has to decide whether they will continue the quantitative easing (QE). If they will not, interest rates will go up, banks will fall, states will go bankrupt. If they do continue the QE, the dollar will continue to fall and prices will continue to rise.
Europe has to decide whether to again help Greece. If they will not, Greece will go bankrupt, and the losses allover Europe will be severe. Countries like Ireland, Portugal, and Spain might also fall. If Europe will help out Greece again, they will do this with new money, and prices will continue to rise.
The OPEC has unofficially admitted that they can no longer provide the oil the world needs. Saudi Arabia promised to increase production, but these promises are mere words. The most they can do is sell accumulated reserves for a couple of months. Similarly, the US is considering releasing some of its Strategic Petroleum Reserves, which exist for cases of emergency. This is frightening.

אגרת פט. רמח"ל לר' באסאן
I already posted a translation of part of Ramchal's awesome letter 89. Here is part of the Hebrew.
And so we see that the vision of the bones in Yechezkel 37 is followed by the required unity of the tree of Yehudah (Lean, bones) and the tree of Ephraim (Rachel, flesh). Bones can, for some time, "survive" death, but they cannot give life. For life, we need bones and flesh together. Once we have bones, we need to concentrate on the flesh.
העצמות האלה כל בית ישראל המה. כי שני מיני אהבה יש. אהבת הקב"ה ואהבת השכינה.
אהבת הקב"ה היא הנמצאת בכל חסידי ישראל השומרים משמרת אלקיהם באמת וחרדים על כל דבר מצוה, סור מרע ועשות טוב. אך אהבת השכינה היא החפץ והתשוקה לתקן השכינה תיקון ממש על פי סדריה ומדריגות בנינה וזה הנבחר מכל המעשים, אשר בזה שובחו כל איתני עולם וההפרש בין קמאי לבתראי. אמנם שרש לכל בספירות ושתי העבודות מושרשות בשתי הנוק' -– לאה ורחל. והענין כי עבודת המלך בשכינה היא תמיד, אך יש פנימיות הנוק' שאין בה עליה וירידה אלא עומדת בהשואה להשלים הז"א לעשר ספירות, וז"ס עצם מעצמי שאינו משתנה. אבל רחל עקרת הבית, היא הבשר שלפעמים הוא שמן ולפעמים נעשה רזה, וזה ענין הקלקולים והתיקונים הנמצאים בה.
...
העובדים העבודה הכללית משתרשים בלאה סוד העצם והעובדים על דרך תיקון השכינה משתרשים בבשר שהיא רחל. ובסוף הגלות כבר הגיעו הדברים שאין מנהל לה – לרחל מכל בניה ילדה. ונמצאו כל ישראל עצמות יבשות ממש... כי זה כל האדם להיות עבודתו באהבת השכינה נוסף על אהבת הקב"ה. לכן צדק דבר האר"י זלה"ה באמרו שעיקר עסק האדם אין לו להיות אלא בפנימיות התורה, שזה לבדו המאיר לשכינה.

אגרת טו. רמח"ל לר' בנימין הכהן
כאשר פתוח לרוחה היה פתח ההשפעה בהיות בית המקדש קיים, כן נסתם בזמן חורבנו, ולקח הס"א כח ככח אשר לקחה על פי חטאי אבותינו אשר חטאו. ומאותה שעה – גלגולי דברים נתגלגלו למעלה, לפי מדרגות הצריכות להתקן. כל יום מאור חדש הוא, ולפי טבע המאור ההוא, ולפי הפגם הנפגם בו, ולפי התיקון הפרטי הצריך לו, כך נמשכו דברים למטה בעולם הזה
וכמה תיקונים נתקנו לישראל בזמן גלותם, הלא המה תיקון המשנה, תיקון הגמרא, תיקון המדרשים, שכולם הם תיקונים פרטים, כולם צריכים איש בזמנו דוקא, והם נעשים בזמן שבו הגיעה להאיר מדרגה אחת שבה תלוי התיקון ההוא ליתקן
The Mishna, the Talmud, and the Midrashim were not accidentally written when they were written. They are Tikkunim and their prominence is limited to the period that needed it.
אך תיקון הזוהר הוא העולה על כולם. הנה סודו הוא הפנימיות עצמו, כי כל הפשט בחיצוניות הוא, וכאשר כל ההנהגה עיקרו בפנימיות – על כן עיקר התיקונים הוא הזוהר... והנה זכה רשב"י להיות הכלי האמצעי להמשיך תיקון זה, ועשה הזהר.
אבל האמת, שלא יצא אלא חלק אחד אור מאותה הבחינה וזה לצורך מה שיקיים ישראל וכל העולם בזמן הגלות. אך התיקון האמיתי הוא שיהיה ענין זה קיים תמיד, שלא יפסק. כי כל ההשפעה תצא חדשה, בסוד חדשים לבקרים כי זה סוד המן הבא בזכות משה, שהוא כללות הס' ריבוא, וממשיך השפעת הזיווג בכח כלם כאחד.
The Zohar is the first light, but the real Tikkun is that each Jew will receive this light continously.
והנה אחרי הרשב"י ע"ה חזרה הס"א וסיתמה, כי לא היה תיקון אלא לשעה. וסוד הענין: כי התיקונים הנעשים לפי ההכנה שנשלמה במקבלים – זה יעמוד, כי נמשך מכח היות הדברים בהקבלתם כראוי. אבל יש פעמים שלפי המדרגה המתעוררת תתגבר הארה העליונה, ומבלי הכנת התחתונים תתגבר ותעבור ותעשה הדבר ההוא. ואז לא תעמוד הרבה, כי תסתלק אחר כך, אלא שתיקונה ישמר לימים ארוכים להתגלות. והאות על זה: גדלות יציאת מצרים. ועל כן אחר רשב"י נסתמו הדברים. ואחר כך בהגיע מדרגות הארות להאיר נראו תיקונים אחרים. עד שבא האר"י זלה"ה ואז האירה הארה מבחינת ההארה הראשונה, שהאירה בזמן הרשב"י עליו השלום, והוא שלימות הארה הראשונה.
The Zohar is essentially superior to Mishna, Gemara, and Midrashim. Certainly after the Arizal.
הנה עתה אגיד להדרת כבוד תורתו אמרים אמת, כאשר הודיע ה' אלי על דברת כבוד תורתו, כי ראש שבטי ישראל הוא. וכבר זיכהו ה' להיות שמו הטוב הולך עד אפסי ארץ. אך תלמידים לא זכינו שיעמדו לפניו. מאת ה' כל דבר – אם קטון ואם גדול הוא.
...
אמנם בהיות כבר שלם התיקון הראשון – על כן לא היה צורך לתלמידים אחרים, כי אין צורך לאותה ההארה להתפשט עוד.
ועתה ברצות ה' להיטיב לעמו רצה לגלות עוד אורה חדשה מבחינת הזוהר גם כן שהוא מהארת הטפה כנ"ל. והוא בחסדו בחר בי. ומה אומר בזה, אם על הכנתי ידרוש? הן אמת, שרק חסד ה' עשה זאת ולא כהכנתי.
It is not enough to learn the Tikkunim of the past. We need to do the Tikkun of today.Friday, June 3, 2011
Just Around The Corner
Taken from here. High oil prices (blue) cause recessions (red). The green is a projection. Add to this the unprecedented annual growth of the already huge national debt of the US. The next crunch must be just around the corner.

The World Is Not Hefker
Rabbi Ari Goldwag notes, in my reformulation, that 5727 was year ט of the 100th Machzor Katan since Churban Bayin Sheni. The 99th such year ט was 5708, the year the State of Israel was declared. As I wrote three years ago, there was a count that reached 500 in 5727.
The world is not Hefker. In a hidden way, the Hand of HaShem is leading us to the Geula. He controls human history in a very precise way, just as He controlled the evolution of life in a very precise way. Regarding the latter, many think that evolution is about random mutations and selection of the fittest. On the surface, it seems like that. However, know that "random" is a mathematical abstraction. It does not exist in this world. It does not even exist in Quantum Mechanics...
Finally, a remark to Rabbi Goldwag. In my understanding, the climax of the leap years is not the 19th year of the cycle, but rather the 8th year, year ט, the year of the latest Pesach. Yom HaAtzma'ut and Yom Yerushalayim show it. The next such year is 5784, unless we change the calendar.

סוף מעשה במחשבה תחילה
Today we count the 42nd day of the Omer, which is six weeks. We reached the completion of the long waiting period for the seventh week, the time of Man, the time of Adam. Sof Ma'aseh B'Machshavah Techilah.
We have seen that 128 years of the seventh millenium are in a sense not within time. Sof Ma'aseh B'Machshavah Techilah. It seems to me that the 128 years repair for the breaking, as it were, of the Name of 45, caused by the time taken up by the first king. For this repair to be perfect, 128/1000 days of the first king would have had to be within time, a little more than the 2.5/24 days posited in the previous post. The small correction makes the age of the Universe grow another 7264519 years, to 13755317922 years (45128*304805 + 73440 + 4442) ...
Space and time were created. The Universe exploded. Stars were born and died. New stars were born and also they died. Hundreds of billions of galaxies arose - assemblies of hundreds of billions of stars. After 9 billion years, the Sun was born and spew the Earth and the planets. Life arose. Countless numbers of species of life appeared and went exinct, one after the other. Then. after 13.75 billion years of waiting, man arose. Man evolved, understood, invented, progressed, and forgot and regressed. Progressed and regressed. Cultures appeared, and disappeared. Empires arose, and fell. Sof Ma'aseh B'Machshavah Techilah. No matter how erratic and undirected history appears to be, no matter how random and redundant evolution may seem to have been, in truth there is a plan, and the plan is precise.
How great is the Chesed of the Creator. How awesome is His plan. How great His patience. How long is the distance between Techila and Sof. Yet, they will come together, because they are complementary - the awesome beginning and the awesome end. G-d and man. The Shechina and Knesset Yisrael.
Contemplate: Every single letter in the Torah stands for 45,000 years. The lifespan of man is a mere 120 years. Yet, all things that preceded man, all of these letters of Torah, were just for his benefit. It happened for you. All that occurred was to create a perfect world for you, so that you, the purpose of Creation, will observe, and understand, and will be able to learn to know the Creator.

Countless numbers of species of life appeared and went exinct, one after the other. Then. after 13.75 billion years of waiting, man arose. Man evolved, understood, invented, progressed, and forgot and regressed. Progressed and regressed. Cultures appeared, and disappeared. Empires arose, and fell. Sof Ma'aseh B'Machshavah Techilah. No matter how erratic and undirected history appears to be, no matter how random and redundant evolution may seem to have been, in truth there is a plan, and the plan is precise.
How great is the Chesed of the Creator. How awesome is His plan. How great His patience. How long is the distance between Techila and Sof. Yet, they will come together, because they are complementary - the awesome beginning and the awesome end. G-d and man. The Shechina and Knesset Yisrael.
Contemplate: Every single letter in the Torah stands for 45,000 years. The lifespan of man is a mere 120 years. Yet, all things that preceded man, all of these letters of Torah, were just for his benefit. It happened for you. All that occurred was to create a perfect world for you, so that you, the purpose of Creation, will observe, and understand, and will be able to learn to know the Creator.

A Small Correction
The seven kings that died were really ten. The first king corresponds to the four days before (Erev) Pesach, whereas kings two to seven correspond to the first six weeks of the Omer. To reach from seven to ten, the four days of the first king are counted each day by itself.
The first of the four days is not completely included in time. It contains the creation of time. The creation corresponds to Brit Mila, on the tenth of Nissan. At what hour should we say this occurred? I think that there are reasons to say that this must be the hour of Mincha Ketana, 2.5 hours before the end of the day. This would add 2.5/24 times 1000 times 304805, which is 31750521 years, to the ages mentioned in the previous post, which makes the age of Universe 13748053403 years...

Yom Yerushalayim
Starting with Lag B'Omer we no longer behave like mourners, and starting with Yom Yerushalayim, we barely say Tachanun. Yom Yerushalayim is the first day of the last week of the Omer period. This week is the seventh week, the holy week, corresponding to the eigth king, who does not die. This is the week that corresponds to the history of man. Yetziat Mitzrayim corresponds to day 45 of the Omer, the third day of the seventh week. Starting from this day, Tachanun is canceled altogether.
I have presented the age of the world as 46000 times 300000 years, 13.8 billion years. That number is a fraction of a percent too high. Now, 46 is a little over two percent more than 45, מ"ה, a divine number, and 300000 is a little under two percent less than the 304805 letters of the Torah.
HaKadosh Baruch Hu (מ"ה) looked in the Torah and created the world - קודשא בריך הוא אסתכל באורייתא וברא עלמא. Perhaps one can say that He counted the letters. The multiplication 45000*304805 yields 13716225000, a value that is pretty close to the current scientific value of the age of the Universe.
The 13716225000 years would be the time until "Yom Yerushalayim," until the last week of the Omer, until the emergence of man. Add 73440 years until Yetziat Mitzrayim, and 4442 years from Yetziat Mitrayim until now, in the chronology that I have described, and obtain that we live 13716302882 years after Creation...

My Neighbor's Blog
Thanks to Yaak, I found that my neighbor and friend Baruch has a blog. The blog is excellent, and that does not amaze me. Here is a video that Baruch posted a while ago.
