ARAB WORLD CRISES

ARAB WORLD CRISES
--My Personal View—

I’m often asked two questions these days. One, “What’s your opinion about the whole Middle East Moslem uprisings?” Secondly, “Do you believe your people, the Sephardim Anusim are whom the Prophet Obadiah’s referring to in verse 20?” My concern is–is there any connection between the two? My response is, YES THERE IS. Let’s begin with the Middle East.

What’s taking place in the Middle East and other Moslem Mediterranean nations is obvious. Almost every single Moslem country down there is aflame with civil unrest and the expulsion of their long standing rulers. “But why now?” you ask. I believe God has shown me the reason so let me briskly explain.

The Moslem Arab population of the world, in particular the Middle East, has determined that their leaders (presidents, prime ministers, kings, rulers) show no sign of being their long awaited messiah, the 12th Imam. If their leader was to emerge as their hidden messiah they would’ve seen signs of it a long time ago but nothing has happened. In fact, the only thing that’s taken place is worse conditions with no promise of taking over the world as the Moslem faith believes.

They also see that the Palestinian Moslems living in Gaza and the West Bank aren’t making headway in taking over Israel either. Plus they’ve discovered that President Barak Hussein Obama shows no promise of being even close to being neither their messiah nor his forerunner. So what then?

The inevitable and ultimate step is to FORCE turmoil in their countries in the hope of their messiah stepping in to liberate them and begin the globe’s takeover. They know that their messiah won’t show up until great turmoil and distress has taken root in their communities. They also know that both, Jews and Christians have their version of Messiah so they’d like to precipitate the 12th Imam/messiah to pop out of wherever he’s at right now.

Now…what does all this have to do with my people, the Sephardim Anusim? Let me first say that the Prophet Obadiah said, “…the exiles of Jerusalem that are in Sepharad (Spain) will occupy/possess the Negev,” (1:20b).

It’s obvious that the Sephardim that have lived on the eastern side of the Atlantic Ocean and have immigrated to Israel have not chosen to dwell in the Negev. They’ve had over 60 years to do so; but they’ve chosen other locations of Israel and show no desire of occupying the Negev. So who does this leave to occupy/possess the Negev and be part of the “Voice of one calling in the desert” to prepare the way for the true Messiah? The Sephardim of the West, of course. The Western Sephardim are known as Anusim because their forefathers were tortured and coerced to convert to Catholicism during the infamous days of the Spanish, the Portuguese and the Mexican Inquisitions.

It isn’t the Eastern Sephardim that yearn to possess the Negev–it’s the Western Sephardim, the Anusim that long to see their Negev blossom as the Prophet Isaiah states in the 35th chapter of his book. In fact, the majority of these Anusim have always lived in geographic regions that look and feel very much like “their Negev.”

So what’s the connection between the Moslem Arab uprising and the returning of the Sephardim Anusim to their Negev? The last verse of the Prophet Obadiah says it all. Obadiah says that after these (Western) Sephardic Jews immigrate and settle in the Negev, God is going to raise up a very special army. He says, “Then saviors (with a lower case ‘s’) will ascend Mt. Zion, judge the mountains of Edom and (then) the kingdom shall be the Lord’s (Messiah).”

All hell is scared to death of this prophecy, and radical Moslems are too. Some Jewish scholars do not say, “Judge Edom” but “wreak havoc” on Edom. It is my firm conviction that yesterday’s Edom is today’s Moslem world that tries to force their own Sharia Laws everywhere they go.

As in the case with Japan’s recent earthquake, fires and tsunami which are wreaking havoc in their nuclear facilities—no one would’ve ever imagined that a nuclear holocaust could come any way other than by someone pushing the button or pulling the trigger! But now we see that nature itself has ways of throwing off man’s most ingenious plans as in this case.

Likewise, no one would’ve ever imagined that God would allow the destruction of Moslem Arabs by other Moslem Arabs in the manner in which we are seeing today. I would’ve never thought that the Middle East would go blow up in flames, as it has been, by those that yearn to take over Erez Israel and her Negev too!

Finally, we must pray feverishly that God build a shield of protection around all of Israel against these wild fires…that God raise up a true and spiritual voice among the Jewish people…that God open the flood gates for my people to return to the homeland of their forefathers…and that Messiah enter the scene post haste. – Amen!

Shalom,
