The Time Has Come for God to Reveal the Messiah, Says Jerusalem’s Chief Rabbi

Breaking Israeli News – by Rivkah Lambert Adler, November 13, 2015

In a surprisingly under-reported story, one of Jerusalem’s chief rabbis, Rabbi Shlomo Amar issued a ruling on Monday that God must bring the messiah and expedite the ultimate redemption. The ruling was delivered during an all-night spiritual gathering of rabbis from the Chabad-Lubavitch movement  and a recording of the moment was posted to YouTube (in Hebrew).  

In the days preceding the ruling by Amar, close to 6,000 rabbis and Jewish community leaders attended the annual Kinus Hashluchim (International Conference of Chabad-Lubavitch Emissaries) in Brooklyn, NY. The Chabad-Lubavitch movement has emissaries who serve the Jewish people in over 75 countries around the world. Each year, they gather in New York for their annual conference.

After the official conference proceedings were concluded, Amar and others gathered at the Chabad-Lubavitch World Headquarters, also in Brooklyn, NY, for an informal farbrengen. A farbrengen is a get-together in the Chabad-Lubavitch world, where inspirational thoughts are shared and wordless spiritual tunes, called niggunim, are sung. Sweet foods, wine and other items are often served.

During this spontaneous gathering, and no doubt influenced by the heady success of the conference that had just concluded, Rabbi Berel Lazar, one of Russia’s two chief rabbis, reminded Amar that 25 years ago, the Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, the last head of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement, who passed away in 1994, had asked Amar to issue a psak din (a formal rabbinic ruling) on the issue of the redemption of the Jewish people.

Twenty five years later, at this gathering in the early morning hours of November 9, 2015, Amar agreed that the time had come to rule that God must hasten the arrival of the messiah.

In the presence of dozens of colleagues and holding the hands of the two men sitting closest to him, Amar pronounced, “We hereby rule according to the demand of the audience – we see the plaintiff but can’t see the defendant – that God Almighty speedily bring an end and reveal the Moshiach (messiah) in front of our eyes in actuality.”

Despite the late hour, his statement was greeted with a hearty “Amen!” from the crowd. Immediately after, the crowd began singing “We want Moshiach now! We don’t want to wait!” These words come from a song that Lubavitch children are taught to sing from a very early age.

How is it possible that a rabbi, even one of the chief rabbis of Jerusalem, can make a ruling in Jewish law that obligates God? Breaking Israel News posed this question to senior Chabad Rabbi Uri Kaploun who said, “All that comes to mind is the axiom in Chazal (the Jewish sages) that Lo BaShamayim Hi (it is not in Heaven): once the Torah was given, the earthly court makes the rulings, and the Heavenly Court is, as it were, bound by them.”

  1. THERE GOD MUST BE DEAF… MAYBE HES ASLEEP OR ON SOME LONG JOURNEY………………..ILL BET THOUGH, THAT HILLERY IS THEIR DELIVERER, AND SOROS HER PROPHET… HI GEORGE!!!

  2. “We hereby rule according to the demand of the audience – we see the plaintiff but can’t see the defendant – that God Almighty speedily bring an end and reveal the Moshiach (messiah) in front of our eyes in actuality.”

    He already did. You had him murdered. The ‘messiah’ you abominations are waiting for is an abomination himself – the anti-Christ.

    “How is it possible that a rabbi, even one of the chief rabbis of Jerusalem, can make a ruling in Jewish law that obligates God?”

    Pride & arrogance. Their master’s downfall. An excellent example..

    “In a review of the book The Talmud and the Internet by Jonathon Rosen, Lord Sacks, who is Chief Rabbi of the United Hebrew Congregations of the Commonwealth of Britain, writes: “Rosen loves, as I do, that extraordinary moment in the Talmud in which God is outvoted on a point of jewish law and celebrates the fact that His children have defeated Him. In the world of the rabbis, not only do men study the word of God; God studies the words of men.”
    Judaism’s Strange gods by Michael Hoffman – pg 115.

    These aberrations are TRULY INSANE!!!

  3. The Donald as the new messiah? “Worship me, peons!” We’ll kick everyone’s arse!” France. The land of “French fries, French ticklers, and douchebags, will be first on the list. Then we can move on to refried beaners, eventually settling on Chinese. Can I get more racist than that? Probably so, but I’m not going for the record tonight. Out vote God? Who they trying to kid?

  4. If I could find and quote all the times in the Bible that God answers prayers on His own time frame It would take all day…heck all week. But God filling the demands of rabbis who follow the Talmud? Now that’s funny!

    As far as I know God only gave in to a human demand once: when Joshua asked God to stop the sun (in “Joshua’s Long Day”…Joshua 10:13-14)

    And of these Talmudics don’t watch out, God will give in to their demands and send their “messiah,” aka the anti-Christ, and after that, Christ Himself, who will not look too kindly on these apostates.
