Chapter 10:
Blindness in Prophecy – Why No One Knows They’re Living It.
This section delves into the themes in Star of Jacob, Chapter 10, and explores the idea of unrecognized prophecy in everyday life.
Chapter 10: Blindness in Prophecy –
Why No One Knows They’re Living It.
For thousands of years, people have lived through biblical prophecy without realizing it. The Israelites witnessed the ten plagues and walked through the parted sea, yet days later they were complaining in the desert. Jeremiah warned Jerusalem for decades, but the people mocked him. The prophets themselves often did not fully understand the words they were given.
This same blindness is happening right now.
We are watching Ezekiel 38 and 39 unfold in real time. Persia (Iran) has been struck, Damascus lies in ruins, and the nations are aligning exactly as the prophets described. Yet most people — both Jews and Christians — do not see it. Why? Because everyone has their own script for how the end should look, and almost no one is using the Torah itself as the blueprint.
The Christian Endgame Most Won’t Say Out Loud
Many Christian Zionists genuinely support Israel. They donate, they cheer, they stand with us. But there is an unspoken belief behind much of that support: one day the Jews will “look upon Him whom they have pierced” (Zechariah 12:10), realize Jesus is the Messiah, mourn, and convert. In that theology, Judaism as we know it comes to an end.
The problem is the verse itself. In Hebrew it does not say what most English translations claim. The phrase “et asher dakaru” uses a plural verb — “those who were pierced.” It is not about one man being crucified. It describes Israel mourning its own losses in a future war, the way a family mourns a firstborn. Then the nation turns back to God. There is no requirement for Jews to accept Jesus. That idea only appears when the Hebrew is changed.
This is the elephant in the room. Jewish voices who receive Christian support — whether Yishai Fleischer, JTV, or others — cannot openly correct this misunderstanding. Their platforms depend on that support. So the truth stays quiet on both sides.
DNA Proves Who the Heirs Actually Are
The Torah is clear: the covenant was given to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. If this is true, then the descendants should carry evidence of that line.
They do.
The Cohen Modal Haplotype (a specific Y-chromosome marker) appears in 96% of Ashkenazi Cohanim and 62% of Cohanim overall. My own grandfather carries this lineage — a Kohen whose family line traces back to 500 BCE. This same marker is shared with many Arab populations, consistent with Ishmael also being a son of Abraham. Archaeology and ancient DNA from Canaanite remains show that modern Jews and Palestinians share significant Bronze Age ancestry.
Christians, by contrast, carry no trace of this Abrahamic Y-DNA. Their claim is spiritual, not genetic. The Torah, however, speaks of a physical covenant passed through blood and seed. The science lines up with the Torah, not with replacement theology.
The Fingerprints of Hashem – Rabbi Rietti’s Three Lectures
If the Torah were written by men, it would contain mistakes. Yet it does not.
In his three-part series “Fingerprints of Divinity,” Rabbi Jonathan Rietti shows how a simple shepherd in Midian gave the world information no human at that time could possibly have known:
- The Torah lists exactly four animals that have only one of the two kosher signs: the camel, hyrax, hare, and pig. Modern science confirms these are the only four mammals on Earth that fit this description. No fifth animal has ever been found — not in Africa, Asia, the Americas, or even the isolated Galapagos Islands, which have no native land mammals at all.
- The order of creation in Genesis matches the scientific sequence discovered thousands of years later.
- The Torah predicts patterns in history that repeat — from Haman to Hitler, both connected through the number ten and the date of Purim.
These are not coincidences. They are fingerprints — clear signs that the Torah comes from an intelligence beyond human capability.
We Are Living Ezekiel 38–39 Right Now
The prophets described Persia joining a coalition against Israel in the latter days. In February 2026, Israel and the United States struck Iran directly. The regime was shaken. Missiles flew back. The players named in Ezekiel are moving into position.
This is not a theory. This is news.
Yet many are still waiting for a future seven-year tribulation, a rapture, or an Antichrist to desecrate a Third Temple. While they wait, the events described in the prophets are already taking place.
The Torah does not speak of a dying Messiah who atones for sins. It speaks of national repentance, return to the land, and God making His name known through the Jewish people. That is exactly what we are seeing.
The Real War Is About the Jewish People
Behind the politics, the real question the West is wrestling with is ancient: “What do we do with the Jews?”
This spirit of Amalek has existed since Sinai. It appeared as Haman, as the Inquisition, as Hitler, and now it moves through Iran and its proxies. The Talmud warned about “Germamia” (Germany) centuries ago. History proved it right. The same spirit is active today.
The difference now? The Jewish people have returned to their land, exactly as the prophets said. God promised He would gather us from the furthest corners of the earth — and He has. My own life is proof of that promise: born to a Black father and a Levite mother whose father was a Kohen from ancient times.
Closing: Prophecy Is Quiet
The greatest proof that we are in the days of prophecy is that most people still don’t see it.
Just like in Egypt, just like in Babylon, just like in the days of the prophets — life continues. People argue, donate, cheer, criticize, and wait for their version of the story.
But the Torah keeps its perfect record. The DNA matches. The science matches. The patterns match. And the events on the ground continue to match.
The Star of Jacob has risen. The silence has been broken.
Now it is time to open our eyes.
