Blessed is the HOLY ONE, who spoke mouth to mouth with Moses, HIS servant, that we should have the TORAH to teach us.
In 2015, we Can look at the world around us and at our actions prior to this time, and maybe learn what we have done.
The Arab-Israeli War of 1948
The Arab-Israeli War of 1948 broke out when five Arab nations invaded territory in the former Palestinian mandate immediately following the announcement of the independence of the State of Israel on May 14, 1948. —https://history.state.gov/milestones/1945-1952/arab-israeli-war
After almost 2,000 years, there is again a State of Israel in the Land Promised to Our Fathers. In 1948, five Arab Nations around about the State of Israel, strive to remove the Jewish people from the land.
The ALMIGHTY gave us victory over these attackers, and we made agreements (covenants) with them.
Arab-Israeli Wars
The 1956 War
“From 1949 to 1956 the armed truce between Israel and the Arabs, enforced in part by the UN forces, was punctuated by raids and reprisals. Among the world powers, the United States, Great Britain, and France sided with Israel, while the Soviet Union supported Arab demands. Tensions mounted during 1956 as Israel became convinced that the Arabs were preparing for war. The nationalization of the Suez Canal by Egypt’s Gamal Abdal Nasser in July, 1956, resulted in the further alienation of Great Britain and France, which made new agreements with Israel.
On Oct. 29, 1956, Israeli forces, directed by Moshe Dayan, launched a combined air and ground assault into Egypt’s Sinai peninsula. Early Israeli successes were reinforced by an Anglo-French invasion along the canal. Although the action against Egypt was severely condemned by the nations of the world, the cease-fire of Nov. 6, which was promoted by the United Nations with U.S. and Soviet support, came only after Israel had captured several key objectives, including the Gaza strip and Sharm el Sheikh, which commanded the approaches to the Gulf of Aqaba. Israel withdrew from these positions in 1957, turning them over to the UN emergency force after access to the Gulf of Aqaba, without which Israel was cut off from the Indian Ocean, had been guaranteed.”

The ALMIGHTY did give us victory over these Nations, and we made agreements (covenants) with them.
Six-Day War
The 1967 War
“The Six-Day War (Hebrew: מלחמת ששת הימים, Milhemet Sheshet Ha Yamim;Arabic: النكسة, an-Naksah, “The Setback” or حرب ۱۹٦۷, Ḥarb 1967, “War of 1967”), also known as the June War, 1967 Arab–Israeli War, or Third Arab–Israeli War, was fought between June 5 and 10, 1967 by Israel and the neighboring states of Egypt (known at the time as the United Arab Republic),Jordan, and Syria.” . . . .
“On June 11, a ceasefire was signed. Arab casualties were far heavier than those of Israel: fewer than a thousand Israelis had been killed compared to over 20,000 from the Arab forces. Israel’s military success was attributed to the element of surprise, an innovative and well-executed battle plan, and the poor quality and leadership of the Arab forces.[citation needed] Israel seized control of the Gaza Strip and the Sinai Peninsula (from Egypt), the West Bank and East Jerusalem (from Jordan), and the Golan Heights (from Syria). The area under Israeli control tripled, increasing the nation’s ability to defend its borders, as would be shown in the subsequent Yom Kippur War.”

The ALMIGHTY did give us victory over these attackers, giving us more of the Promised Land, and we made agreements (covenants) with them.
Yom Kippur War
The 1973 War
“The Yom Kippur War, Ramadan War, or October War (Arabic: حرب أكتوبر Ḥarb ʾUktōbar, or حرب تشرين Ḥarb Tišrīn; Hebrew: מלחמת יום הכיפורים Milẖemet Yom HaKipurim or מלחמת יום כיפור Milẖemet Yom Kipur), also known as the 1973 Arab–Israeli War, was a war fought by the coalition of Arab states led by Egypt and Syria against Israel from October 6 to 25, 1973. The military combat actions during the war mostly took place in the Sinai and the Golan Heights, territories that were occupied by Israel since the Six-Day War of 1967. Egypt and Syria wanted to regain the Sinai and the Golan Heights respectively. Egyptian President Anwar Sadat wanted also to reopen the Suez Canal. Neither specifically planned to destroy Israel, although the Israeli leaders could not be sure of that.[57][58]
The war began when the Arab coalition launched a joint surprise attack on Israeli positions in the Israeli-occupied territories on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in Judaism, which also occurred that year during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.[59] Egyptian and Syrian forces crossed ceasefire lines to enter the Sinai Peninsula and the Golan Heightsrespectively, areas which Israel had captured six years earlier in the Six-Day War. Both the United States and the Soviet Union initiated massive resupply efforts to their respective allies during the war, and this led to a near-confrontation between the two nuclear superpowers.[60]”

Again The ALMIGHTY gave us victory over our attackers, securing the Promised Land, and we made agreements (covenants) with them.
Do you see a pattern here? We are forced battle superior forces, and against human odds we win. Then we make deals that the enemy which has no intention of honoring, for they come back to attacks again and again.
As a result of all these wins and our covenant making with the enemy. We have moved farther away from the LIVING GOD OF ISRAEL.
You may say: How can you say that?
Look at Israeli society, in 2015. I have just come back from spending 90 days in Israel learning about the people and the land. Here are a few of the things I saw:
1) Parents 60 years and above, are watching their children seek ways out of Israel, both their children and their friends children. Expressed as a major concern, by the liberal, socialist of Israel.
2) The people seem afraid of those Not In Their Circle of friends. The exceptions to this are foreign visitors and those seeking companionship in night clubs and such like venues. Example: Jerusalem on Jaffa St.Friday morning, two groups of Black Hats and myself pass on the street. I say Shabbat Shalom, it is not returned by either group nor does either group acknowledge the other with said greeting. The two groups are slightly different in dress, hence from different Rabbis.
3) It is still not the WORD OF GOD and the Hand Of Moses, which is the most important, but the words of the sagas rule the day and night. With all of these blessings, and fulfilled prophecies, should it not be clear: WHO IS THE ALMIGHTY? Should we not seek HIS instructions? The apparent answer is NO, for we continue as we have for more that 2,300 years, going our own way.
4) Everyone has his or her hand out like a three year old I am the most important. Saying: Give me.
More detail on this at: Israel, What I See.
Look at America, where I live.
Escaping from Russia all through the 1890 to 1900’s, coming to America, where we enjoy freedom from oppressors; freedom to be Jewish or not; freedom to be most anything we desired.
We also have those that escaped the other direction away from Hitler, Russian, Communism, Europe and the Arab Countries which have sought our lives, our families, our land, our possessions, coming to the same freedoms that our Russian family members enjoy.
And yet, many of us are the Left, the socialist, anti-freedom, anti-democratic, anti-Republic, anti-American, anti-Jewish, anti-defense, anti-responsibility leaders in this country. Saying one thing with out mouth and doing the opposite with our money and our actions. From the laws we start and support, to the people we place in office that are working behind the scene to destroy the very items that saved us and have kept us safe(for a time).
Why would we do this?
So if I want to Know, To Be Warned, To Understand events. I look to the Written Torah Of Moses, and to the Tanakh. There we find, that we are to make no covenants(agreements) and why, what it will do to us.
Exodus 23:
31 And I will set thy border from the Red Sea even unto the sea of the Philistines, and from the wilderness unto the River; for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand; and thou shalt drive them out before thee.
32 Thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor with their gods.
33 They shall not dwell in thy land–lest they make thee sin against Me, for thou wilt serve their gods–for they will be a snare unto thee.
Deuteronomy 7:
1 When the LORD thy God shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, and shall cast out many nations before thee, the Hittite, and the Girgashite, and the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, seven nations greater and mightier than thou;
2 and when the LORD thy God shall deliver them up before thee, and thou shalt smite them; then thou shalt utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor show mercy unto them;
3 neither shalt thou make marriages with them: thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son.
4 For he will turn away thy son from following Me, that they may serve other gods; so will the anger of the LORD be kindled against you, and He will destroy thee quickly.
Judges 2:
1 And the angel of the LORD came up from Gilgal to Bochim. And he said: ‘… I made you to go up out of Egypt, and have brought you unto the land which I swore unto your fathers; and I said: I will never break My covenant with you;
2 and ye shall make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land; ye shall break down their altars; but ye have not hearkened unto My voice; what is this ye have done?
3 Wherefore I also said: I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be unto you as snares, and their gods shall be a trap unto you.’
It seems that those have all come true, whether we like it or not. We are in trouble. How much trouble are we in, really?
I cannot, will not read these curses again(Leviticus 26 and Deuteronomy 28 until the end), rather I will show you how we got here.
Leviticus 26:
14 But if ye will not hearken unto Me, and will not do all these commandments;
15 and if ye shall reject My statutes, and if your soul abhor Mine ordinances, so that ye will not do all My commandments, but break My covenant;
16 I also will do this unto you:. . . .
Deuteronomy 28:
15 But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all His commandments and His statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee.
How do we stop to cycle of curses?
Leviticus 26:
38 And ye shall perish among the nations, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up.
39 And they that are left of you shall pine away in their iniquity in your enemies’ lands; and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine away with them.
40 And they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, in their treachery which they committed against Me, and also that they have walked contrary unto Me.
41 I also will walk contrary unto them, and bring them into the land of their enemies; if then perchance their uncircumcised heart be humbled, and they then be paid the punishment of their iniquity;
42 then will I remember My covenant with Jacob, and also My covenant with Isaac, and also My covenant with Abraham will I remember; and I will remember the land.. . . .
Deuteronomy 30:
7 And the LORD thy God will put all these curses upon thine enemies, and on them that hate thee, that persecuted thee.
8 And thou shalt return and hearken to the voice of the LORD, and do all His commandments which I command thee this day.
9 And the LORD thy God will make thee over-abundant in all the work of thy hand, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy land, for good; for the LORD will again rejoice over thee for good, as He rejoiced over thy fathers;
10 if thou shalt hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep His commandments and His statutes which are written in this book of the law; if thou turn unto the LORD thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul.
Why would the GOD of Our Fathers do this to us?
Leviticus 26:
46 These are the statutes and ordinances and laws, which the LORD made between Him and the children of Israel in mount Sinai by the hand of Moses.
Deuteronomy 28:
69 These are the words of the covenant which the LORD commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, beside the covenant which He made with them in Horeb.
So according to our Contract(Covenant) with GOD, if we are Righteous, our lives are blessed. If we refuse, we are punished, then the HE LOOKS to see if we have changed ::NO = we are punished, over and over again, but never erased from the earth, until we decide that we are wrong to fight the GOD Of Our Fathers.
We still keep the traditions of our sages, declaring that they saved us from evil. This, we have done for more than 2,300 years and we keep getting punished! It would be right to go to the Writings of Moses and JUST DO WHAT GOD SAYS TO DO.
Leave everything else to HIM.(This is for me as much as for anyone else.)
It appears that we are in the last set of events.
Maybe this would be a great time to Return To The GOD OF OUR FATHERS, and to HIS TORAH. It is a personal decision on your part, for which I am not responsible for, but you are.
I can help you get there, but you must do the changing.
