Iran is almost nuclear what should we be doing? See what the torah teaches about what will happen before the coming of Moshiach.
Iran becoming a nuclear power is a hot topic nowadays. I’d like to show you some very interesting things that the torah says about the future and how Iran will destroy the world the way we know it. We also have to keep in mind that the Torah teaches is what to do in difficult times that we are in, so close to such massive chaos.
An amazing Midrash explains what will happen shortly before the coming of Moshiach. We cannot say with certainty that this Midrash is referring to the situation we are in right now, but you can see for yourself how well it fits in.
So this is the Midrash: Rav Yitzchak says that the year that moshiach will come all of the nations will fight with each other. This sounds like nothing less than a world war! The king of Persia, which is now called Iran, will fight with the king of Arabia, which we call Saudi Arabia, and the king of Saudi Arabia will go to the king of Edom for advice. Edom is referring to the western world. Then Persia (or Iran) will proceed to destroy the world and all of the nations of the world will be confused and pained like birth pangs. The Jewish people will be confused and they will cry out “where should I go? Where should I turn?” and then Hashem will say to them “my children, do not worry, everything that I did I did for you. Now has come the time for your redemption. This redemption will not be like the others. For in the others there was an exile following the redemption, but this time there will be no more exile.
We really don’t need this midrash to show us that we are in the times close to coming of Moshiach. There are many other clear signs mentioned in the Talmud and other places. (Hopefully we will have a chance to speak about them at another time) But what we do see from this midrash is that Iran will destroy practically the whole in a world war!
Iran builds up nuclear weapons and we sit quietly! Its almost amazing to see how calm everyone is, like nothing at all is happening. Well, you probably are thinking ‘what could I do anyway, I’m not a politician!’. True we are not(at least I am not)politicians in a simple sense but each one of us do have the ability lead the world through teshuva (repentance) and prayer.
Even though the Midrash prophesizes that there will be a world war there is a principle that repentance can stop a negative prophesy from being fulfilled.
Hashem listens to our prayers and He wants us to pray to Him. All we have to do is speak, He is listening. Say ‘Hashem, You know that I cannot do any physical action to protect. Even most bomb shelters will not help at all if there is a nuclear war. But you can always help, and now you are our only help. Please help me come closer to you, help me believe in you properly, then I know you will protect me. Help everyone come to believe in you then we won’t even need a world war, Moshiach will be able to come in times of peace.’
Iran becomes a nuclear power and we even have a clear Midrash saying that Iran will one day destroy the world, and we sit quietly! No, we have to wake up, daven to Hashem and do tshuva. These are the only things that will help us. Not political activism or fear, just come closer to Hashem.
