"Half Hour of Silence     Kaduri     etc"


Half Hour of Silence     Kaduri     etc

 

On Jan. 7 I wrote regarding a discrepancy in the account of Rabbi Kaduri regarding scriptural accuracy.  He is quoted as saying the “Messiah” had appeared to him as a person and was living in Israel at that time.  I do not believe this fits scripture, however, Youtuber Bear049 released a video the next day doing an apologetic of sorts on this very point.  His explanation regarded language interpretation and the difficulty of a Rabbi trying to describe the presence of the Holy Spirit indwelling his own person. 


As a result I reviewed (again) some of the information available about Rabbi Kaduri’s statements before his death and the contents of his note that was made public a year later.  The Rabbi’s note was an acrostic that spelled out the name “Yehoshua”, which is Joshua and Jesus translated through German and Latin from Greek.  A portion of the note can be summarized as saying that, “ The Messiah will raise His people and confirm the truth of the Law and the Word.”  This is very much like saying He will rapture His people, thereby confirming both God’s covenant through the Law and the Gospel of the Word of God.  So this is a very compelling evangelical message for a Rabbi to deliver. 


My caution is based on the specific statement that the “Messiah” is living as a person in Israel, which is a very Jewish perspective on the Messiah since they still expect him to come as a human earthly leader.  Study on Sharon’s family and property also gave me some caution.  Watch the second son, Omri. 


On the other hand, I am amazed at the content of the Rabbi’s message.  The Rabbi was very credible in Israel regarding teaching and prophetic statements.  His statements connected Ariel Sharon to the coming of the Messiah.  Sharon’s birth name was Ariel Scheinermann.  The meaning of the two names together is “the man who certifies the lion of God.”  Or, this could be stated, “the man certified as the lion of God.”  Interestingly, Sharon’s leadership caused him to be called both “the lion of God,” and “the king of Israel.”  He was considered Israel’s “best” military leader.  So, even this can be seen in two different ways.  Also notable for some of us he died on 1/11 which beginning that evening is 11/11 counting Hillel months from Nisan. 


I have no conclusion.  I hope you find this informative.  On the chance that Ariel Sharon’s death does start a clock we can reference read below.

 

Half hour of silence

Revelation 8 mentions a pivotal time in heaven where there is silence for half an hour.  One method to define this is by applying the 24-hour day to the full circle of constellations, which represent a solar year.  Since a solar year is 365.25 days, we can divide by the number of “half hours” as 48.  Therefore, 365.25/48 = 7.6 days.  This came to me as I studied the constellations and noticed that the path of the Sun over 365 days is labeled as a 24-hour circle.  From our point of view the Sun travels 30 minutes at the ecliptic in 7.6 days.  So, looking at it this way a “half hour in heaven” is 7.6 days.  Still watching…
