Everybody Knows
“I underestimated how emotionally committed much of the press is to rallying around Anthony Fauci. His reputation is more important to them than anything. The baleful afterburn of Dr. Fauci’s one-sentence testimony (“On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer. . . .”) seeps over the land like some ghastly pestilence now. You couldn’t have seen a more vivid demonstration of manifest evil than the master bureaucratic grifter formerly self-styled as “The Science” stonewall his way through that fateful reckoning in Sen. Rand Paul’s committee hearing last Wednesday. The score so far: over a million dead in America from the Covid-19 virus that Dr. Fauci helped develop starting as far back as the 1990s, with Dr. Ralph Baric of the University of North Carolina.

Israel’s week of shake and bake: An earthquake, a heatwave, and what the sages say about both
Israel spent the past several days caught between two forms of natural disturbance. A heatwave scorched the country over Shabbat, and an earthquake centered in Egypt rattled homes from Beersheba to Jerusalem two days later. Earthquakes and the Footsteps of the Messiah … Jewish sources treat earthquakes as more than a geological event, and this is a theme worth returning to, given how often the region has felt the ground move this year alone.

If you believe in a pre-trib rapture, seeing things develop that will be fulfilled during the tribulation should stir up a sense of excitement because it could happen any time.

When wildfires appear to be increasing, we need to ask who’s causing them
The European Forest Fires Information System says the number of wildfires in Europe is nearly double the 30-year average. The situation in the USA is probably worse, and in Canada, not much better.

No, The Spanish Invaders Have Not All Just ‘Gone Home’

One Ceuta resident posted that around 50,000 invaders remained, the city was collapsed, and the official numbers were pure spin.

The King of Persia Provokes the King of Arabia: A 1,500-Year-Old Text Reads Like Today’s Headlines 
Rabbi Yitzchak Goldstein explained this teaching in the Hebrew-language Kikar last week. The teaching comes from Pesikta Rabbati, chapter 36, in the name of Rabbi Yitzchak. In the year the Messiah is revealed, he taught, all the kings of the nations will provoke one another. The king of Persia will provoke the king of Arabia. The identification of Persia with Iran is the simplest piece of this teaching. The nation known today as Iran is the historical core of the land that carried the name Persia for the better part of two thousand years, making “the king of Persia” a natural and direct reference in a modern context. And the confrontation the Midrash describes has a living counterpart this year. The Midrash continues: the king of Arabia will go to Edom to take counsel from them. … .
