Messiah.......Not Just For Frummies* Anymore!

A MESSIAH GROWS IN BROOKLYN?
David H is hot on the trail of the Holy One of Israel!
CNN has been notified. Have you? The late Rebbe Menachem Mendel Schneerson will reappear soon at 770 Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn,
New York! You may remember this Lubavitcher Rebbe from the news--or maybe not. There's pictures. He's the Hasedic Rebbe who
has been declared the KING MESSIAH by those in the hierarchy of ultra-orthodox Judaism. Unfortunately, the poor fellow expired
a while back, but not to worry--he will rise again--soon! It could be any day now, according to my source, Rabbi Moshe Yess.
He'll be back in flesh and blood, but indestructable and finally, Zion will have its King! He will rebuild the Temple of Solomon
on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.
So what will come of the "infidels" in the Middle East? It seems they will believe in him as well! Now ain't that something?
Not only them, but all the people of the world will believe that he is the Messiah. But what about Jesus? Forget it! THIS
guy is the King Messiah. And that is that! Now, about the Temple:
Soon The Temple is Rebuilt
The age-old struggle for the Mount continues, but not to worry, the infidels will back down. But how is this Rebbe to build
the Temple? Well, it seems that Rebbe Schneerson planned for this as well. He attended the Sorbonne in Paris, acquiring a
degree in engineering (he was such a bright young man!) Besides, it was prophesied that the King Messiah was to be a craftsman.
Unfortunately, He is not a carpenter. Details, details.
Nothing Comes Easy
Now, this is going to be the greatest event in human history--but first some bad stuff must happen of course. Rebbe indicated
trouble before utopia. Nuclear war? Perhaps, but worse than that, the Sun will be removed from its place. "That would hurt,"
my friend Ian replied to Rabbi Yess. And what about Jesus? Well, you know how it goes with all things Jewish. "The very concept
of Messiah originated within Judaism, and the matter will be settled within Judaism." So what about Jesus? "Are we going
to talk about Jesus or are we going to talk about Messiah?" OK, I get it. Speaking of our carpenter friend, the good Rabbi
echoed the often repeated words, "Jesus of Nazareth fulfilled none of the requirements of the Messiah given in Jewish law--in
the Torah." More proof also will be found in the Exegesis--the 13 laws that are not in the Bibles other than the rabbinical
literature. You see, there is not only the written Torah, there is also the oral Torah. It's all about rabbinical law and
of course, tradition. I find it all quite complicated, but fascinating just the same.
Musical Note
Not meaning to change the subject necessarily.....Did you know that Flamenco music has Jewish music interweavings in it? Not
only that, but Jews influenced the development of same, according to Rabbi Yess! Sure, why not? Many Jews moved to Spain centuries
ago. And speaking of influence, give a particular listen to the saxophone solo in the middle of "Breakfast in America" by
the British rock group Supertramp. It sounds quite Middle Eastern. How this is relevant to the subject at hand, I have no
clue, but G-d works in mysterious ways.
Now, back to the Messiah business. Rebbe Schneerson, aka King Messiah, was born in 1902 in Russia. In about 1941 he came to
America. In due time, both houses of congress awarded him the Congressional Medal of Honor. He obviously was a very influential
fellow. I remember seeing him many years ago (he passed in 1994.) He looked like all the Kohens you see in Jerusalem with
the long white beards and the top hat.
At the very time that Rebbe Schneerson allowed the Jewish world to know and tell that he is Messiah, the Gulf War broke out
and guess what? That is in ancient Jewish prophecy! (At least it is now.) Some day soon he is coming--in an instant, just
like that--and in Brooklyn of course! The state of "Israel" in the Middle East will become known as "Jerusalem," and the rest
of the world as "Israel" according to Rebbe Schneerson.
So that just about covers it for now. No doubt there is more, but we shall wait and see--and keep an eye on Brooklyn!
As always, stay awake and stay tuned!
