The Greater Exodus is Coming

Leave a comment

A Former Messianic Speaks

In my book, Adam, the Blueprint, and the Tree of Life, I explain that an ancient genetic code was handed down long before the Torah. That blueprint passed from Noah to Abraham. Both Isaac and Ishmael received covenant promises. Science supports this through Y-chromosome lineages, the Kohanim gene, and descent from Ham, Shem, and Japheth. If God is listed as Jesus’ father, that DNA chain is broken.

On April 6th, 2026, I buried my mother. One hundred and fifty members of the Halevi family stood at her funeral. My grandfather was a direct descendant of Aaron the Kohen. As our lineage was presented, every family member openly acknowledged we were Jews. That day, I saw Isaiah 56 happening in real time.

The Future Exodus Isaiah Actually Describes

Jeremiah 16 tells us clearly:

“The days are coming when it will no longer be said, ‘As the Lord lives who brought the children of Israel up from Egypt,’ but ‘As the Lord lives who brought the children of Israel up from the land of the north and from all the lands where He had driven them.’”¹

Isaiah describes this future Exodus as something no one has ever seen before in history. He writes:

“The Lord has bared His holy arm in the sight of all the nations… Kings will shut their mouths because of him. For what had not been told them they shall see, and what they had not heard they shall understand.” (Isaiah 52:10, 15)²

This is not a spiritual event that happened 2,000 years ago. Isaiah is describing a global, visible redemption that will shock the entire world.

The Nations Speak in Isaiah 53 – A Hebrew Lesson

The speaker in Isaiah 52:13 through all of chapter 53 is the nations, not the prophet. This is obvious when you read the Hebrew.

Look at the pronouns:

  • “We” (אֲנַחְנוּ) — the nations are speaking
  • “Him / He” (אוֹתוֹ / הוּא) — referring to Israel as the servant

The text literally says: “We considered him stricken… But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities…”

The Hebrew constantly switches between “we” (the guilty nations) and “he/him” (Israel the servant). The nations are confessing that they hated Israel and thought God was punishing him for his own sins, but it was actually their sins laid upon him.

Christian translations deliberately flatten and change these pronouns. They remove the clear “we” of the nations and turn the whole chapter into a prophecy about one man. This changes the entire meaning of the text.

Zephaniah 3:13 confirms the same idea. It says of the righteous remnant of Israel, “Neither shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth” — the exact same phrase used in Isaiah 53:9. The “lamb led to the slaughter” is the innocent remnant of Israel, not an individual who died 2,000 years ago.

Jordan Peterson’s Clear Statement

Jordan Peterson said it plainly: Judaism and Christianity are two fundamentally different covenants. One is collective and action-based. The other is individual and faith-based.

Serach bat Asher and the Land of the North

The Midrash tells us Serach bat Asher gently sang to Jacob about Joseph. Persian Jews believe she never died. Her shrine still stands in Pirbakran, near Isfahan, Iran — in the land of the north that the prophets say the final return will come from.³

The Real Meaning of the Lamb

In the Exodus, Moses warned Pharaoh: “If we slaughter your gods right in front of them, they will stone us.” That lamb was bold defiance. ONE FOR ISRAEL changed the lamb into a quiet suffering victim. They rewrote the original story.

The Final Redemption – Joseph and Judah

The book of Ovadia speaks about Joseph and Judah coming together right before the redemption of Israel. Trump represents the line of Joseph, while Israel represents the line of Judah. If these prophecies come to pass, the two will unite.

When that happens, the world could become the freest place in history. No longer would Islam force its religion on others. Christianity would recognize its errors in trying to impose its covenant. The Torah would go forth from Jerusalem, and the nations would beat their swords into plowshares.

Free PDF Offer – The Hebrew Code

If you want to go much deeper into this, I wrote a free PDF called “Adam, the Blueprint, and the Tree of Life”.

In it, I show how the original Hebrew language is actually a mathematical code — where every letter is also a number. This code appears in the DNA structure itself and proves that Hebrew is the original language.

The only place in the entire Tanakh (all 23,198 verses)⁴ where all 22 Hebrew letters plus the five final sofit forms appear together is in Zephaniah 3:8–9.⁵ That is not a coincidence — it is a sign that the “pure language” God promised to restore is Hebrew.

You can download the free PDF by replying with your email or visiting Adam: The Blueprint and the Tree of Life.

Footnotes ¹ Jeremiah 16:14-15 ² Isaiah 52:10, 15 ³ The shrine of Serach bat Asher is located in Pirbakran, near Isfahan, Iran. ⁴ Total verses in the Tanakh according to standard Masoretic count. ⁵ Zephaniah 3:8-9 is the only verse in the entire Bible that contains all 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet plus all five final (sofit) forms.

A Series of Lectures on Truth.

Scientists expect Star of Jacob to appear this month.

Efraim Palvanov, a teacher and author, writes the blog Mayim Achronim (Final Waters), named for the little-known Jewish ritual of washing the fingers after a meal. Like the eponymous mitzvah, the blog covers Jewish subjects that are misunderstood or not normally discussed. In a recent lecture, Palvanov described the current wars in Ukraine and Israel as consistent with end-of-days predictions recorded in classical Jewish literature.

Palvanov emphasized that he was not making a prediction or a prophecy but was describing an astronomical event as described in Jewish literature

“We know that probably one of the oldest prophecies and traditions about the Moshiach (Messiah) comes from Balaam, a Gentile prophet who came to curse Israel but couldn’t curse them,” Palvanov said. “Instead, he gives a prophecy that actually says, ‘I will tell you what will happen at the end of days.’

What I see for them is not yet, What I behold will not be soon: A star rises from Yaakov, A scepter comes forth from Yisrael; It smashes the brow of Moab, The foundation of all children of Shet.

Numbers 24:17 What I see for them is not yet, What I behold will not be soon: A star rises from Yaakov, A scepter comes forth from Yisrael; It smashes the brow of Moab, The foundation of all children of Shet.

Jewish History

I once heard a teacher say, So, you call yourself Jewish?

Well, how do you call yourself Jewish if you do not know our history?

By the way, it is one of the 613 commandments.

To know our history will amaze you, and you will know that there is an Almighty.

The time of Chanukkah was right before the rise of Christianity and the rule of Edom/Rome/Christianity. I often ask people where was the third capital of Rome located. How can someone understand the influence of Rome today if you do not know the history of Rome and the Jewish people?

Devarim 32:7

Remember the days of old; reflect upon the years of [other] generations. Ask your father, and he will tell you; your elders, and they will inform you. זזְכֹר֙ יְמ֣וֹת עוֹלָ֔ם בִּ֖ינוּ שְׁנ֣וֹת דֹּֽר וָדֹ֑ר שְׁאַ֤ל אָבִ֨יךָ֙ וְיַגֵּ֔דְךָ זְקֵנֶ֖יךָ וְיֹֽאמְרוּ־לָֽךְ:

THE LAND OF ISRAEL A WOMAN OF VALOR

Video

Like the perfect bride, the land of Israel is my love, and Israel is what the eye of every Jew longs for, especially, if she has went away from their sight. As one who has been taken away from her. How our mind sees http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MH6XbOspqqk her, so beautiful, so fare, and untouchable for those separated from her because of history’s past.

Our fathers sinned, and we, their children, were cast to the nation, with no choice of our own, like a name that was given without any thought. We have been separated from her, our land, and we have grown like a stranger with no memory of her and no way to prove our inheritance to her. We look and see our face in her and all our characteristics give away our Father and the place of our birth, but they say, “you do not belong to her”.

Tell a child who hears his mother’s voice or sees his father’s hands and the way of his heart, that you are not their child. Tell them that they do not hear the words from the Ancient One, spoken from the smallest of mountains as He promised we would, Deu 29:14 “And not with you alone I am making this covenant and this oath, Deu 29:15 but with him who stands here with us today before יהוה our Elohim, as well as with him who is not here with us today.
Deu 29:16 “For you know how we dwelt in the land of Mitsrayim and how we passed through the nations which you passed through”.

We have passed through the lands that are not ours and when we hear the sound of our mother’s voice and see her awaiting her children from afar, we cry with her and long for her touch. I hear and I know that the day will be soon, that I will be with her and my brethren in the land of promise, for Hashem is faithful to His children for a thousand generations and He can not lie, for He is not a man that He would lie.

A woman of valor has he made our heritage and she can not forget her children, for they are engraved on the palm of her hand. For my ear have you digged and thy will Hashem do I seek with all my heart, for my soul longs for you and with complete faith will I wait for His coming, for with complete faith do I believe in the coming of Messiah and all His beauty that He will shine upon His people Israel, the woman of valor have I found. Adon Gabriel ben Abraham.

Oral Torah

Scripture Only, Please

Scripture Only, Please

Asking Questions

Judaism is the way of life that Hashem gave us at Mount Sinai, and taught to us in the Sinai Desert.

It includes a Written Torah and an Oral Torah.

It has always included an Oral Torah, and in fact, some of the Commandments were first taught to us orally before we had them in writing. But by and the large, we were taught both at the same time. Hashem would recite a paragraph of the Written Torah to Moses, telling him what to write, letter by letter. Hashem would then teach Moses the details of that Law, along with the deeper meanings, the applications of that Law, and all concepts related to it.

It is impossible to fulfill the Commandments of the Torah without the Oral Torah, because we need to know those details.

On the other hand, if we had only the Oral Torah, it would be possible to fulfill the Commandments. The Written Torah’s function is primarily to prevent the Oral Torah from being forgotten.

The Written Torah is similar to a series of very brief notes a student writes at a lecture. I attended a class once in which I wrote in my notebook: “DY = 2; SY = 1.” Do you have any idea what that means? How could you? It means: “A double yellow line in the middle of the road means it is a two-way road, a single yellow line means it is a one-way road.” When you know what was said in the class, the notes make perfect sense to you. If you do not know what was said at the lecture, you cannot understand the notes.

Hashem created the Torah two thousand years before He created the universe. That refers to both the Written Torah and the Oral Torah. The Oral Torah is the extended “lecture.” The Written Torah contains the brief notes that make certain that we do not forget the “lecture.” Thus, in a sense, the Oral Torah gives us the context of the Written Torah.

I sometimes get questions from people who insist that I prove something from “Scriptural sources.” Christians, and those who follow their example, will accept only what is written in the Written Torah. (Which is surprising, considering the fact that they don’t obey the Scriptures anyway.)

Well, sorry, but quoting Scripture is not necessary. Judaism includes both a Written Torah and an Oral Torah, and it has always included both. If it is in the Oral Torah, it is Torah, and that’s a good enough source. If neither the Written nor the Oral Torah mention something, then it is not Torah. But if the Talmud teaches something, it is Torah, and therefore it is Judaism.

Which explains the title of this article: “Scripture Only, Please,” based on the request that I sometimes get. And my answer always is: I don’t have to quote Scripture when explaining Judaism. It is sufficient to quote Talmud and other Rabbinic Writings.

I teach Judaism, not Christianity. Christendom in general (yes, I know there are some exceptions) is ignorant of the origin and purpose of the Oral Torah. The truth is that the Christians got their opposition to the Oral Torah from a movement even earlier than Christianity. It came from the Sadducees, who rejected the Oral Torah because it prevented them from imitating the Greek lifestyle.

Demanding that I quote Scripture, and not accepting the Rabbis’ teachings, is contrary to Judaism. Still, whenever possible, I like to quote Jewish Scripture (which we refer to as Tanach) as well as the Talmud and Rabbis, because, after all, it is part of the Torah.

Now, I’m not saying that questions are forbidden. Quite the contrary! Judaism encourages questions. But if you approach a Rabbi with the argument that, “You are wrong, everything you say is wrong, and all of Judaism is wrong, because I don’t see it in the Scriptures,” you are probably not going to get much of an answer. In fact, you have probably already rejected the answer before you have even heard it!

The key is in being polite, sensitive, and open to learning.

But it is certainly acceptable to ask a Rabbi to explain a certain position, saying, for example, “I know that Orthodox Judaism believes in concept A. But doesn’t the Torah say such and such that implies the opposite?” Or “Why does the Torah seem to contradict itself in these two places?” There is always an answer to that sort of question!

It doesn’t mean that every Rabbi has the answer to every question, of course. Learning the answer to every question would take a long time to achieve. But the answer is always there, and it is all in the Oral Torah.

Which brings us to the most important point: When we seek answers in depth, it is to the Oral Torah that we turn, supported as it is by the Written Torah, and which in turn supports the Written Torah. The Oral Torah is pivotal and vital to Judaism. So to ask us to ignore the Oral Torah is completely unacceptable. It would be like trying to use a computer without a monitor.

And if you’ve ever tried to do that, you know just what a waste of time that can be.
