ed note–Apologies to the reader ahead of time for all the Hebrew-ese religious verbiage that only serves in complicating an otherwise simple concept, which is the ‘bigger plans’ which Judea, Inc has in store for everyone, ‘plans’ that she assiduously avoids discussing in ‘mixed company’ where Gentiles are present, which is ‘the Jewish state’ in its geographical totality as laid down specifically within the pages of the Torah, to wit–
‘On that day the LORD made a covenant with Abraham, saying “To your descendants I give this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river Euphrates”…–Genesis, 15:18
‘And God spoke unto us saying, ‘Go to the hill-country and all the places nigh thereunto… in the Arabah, the hill-country and in the Lowland… in the South and by the sea-shore, the land of the Canaanites, and Lebanon, as far as the great river, the river Euphrates…Go in therefore and possess the land which the Lord swore unto your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, unto them and to their seed after them…’ Deuteronomy 1:6–8
‘Every place whereon the sole of your foot shall tread shall be yours, from the wilderness, and Lebanon, from the river Euphrates, even unto the hinder sea shall be your border…’ Deuteronomy 11:24
‘…From the wilderness, and this Lebanon, even unto the great river, the Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the Great Sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your border…’Joshua 1:4
Now, the relevance attached to this in the long term is obvious–Israel plans to steal all that land lying between the Nile and Euphrates, home to hundreds of millions of Arabs who have been living there since the beginning of human history, just as the insane cult theology of Judaism demands. As a consequence of this, the world will indeed see–not just decades, but indeed–centuries of ceaseless, never-ending wars just as the world has witnessed ever since these feral, mentally ill Juhadists invaded Palestine.
What it means in the more immediate term is that there is a certain President of the United States named Donald J. Trump who has made the containment of Israel via the mechanism of an ‘ultimate peace deal’ prioritas primas and as such, simply MUST be prevented a 2nd term wherein he plans to apply the strictures of this ‘peace deal’.
Times of Israel
In Parshat Shoftim, Dvarim 19:8, we read about the expansion of Israel’s borders during the final redemption:
When HaShem, your God, expands your borders in accordance with his oath to your forefathers and He gives you the entire land that He promised to give to your forefathers…
The word ‘expands’ takes us back to the story in Breisheet 26:19-22 of the well which Yitzchak named “Rechovot”, meaning ‘spacious’–
Yitzchak’s servants dug in the valley, and found there a well of spring water. The shepherds of Grar argued with Yitzchak’s shepherds, saying, “The water is ours”. He named the well “Esek” (quarrel) because they quarreled with him. They dug another well, and they also argued about it: and he named it “Sitna” (obstruction). He moved away from there and dug another well; and there was no argument over it: He named it Rechovot (Spacious); and he said: Now God has made room for us and we will be fruitful in the Land.
Ramban explains why the Torah goes to great lengths to tell the story of the wells–
‘There is a hidden matter contained in this incident, for it comes to inform us of a future event. A “well of water” is a hint to the Beit HaMikdash (Temple) which the descendents of Yitzchak will build. This is why it mentions “a well of spring water” as it says in Yirmiyahu 17:13 “God, the source of fresh water.” Yitzchak called the first well Esek (Quarrel) which alludes to the First Temple, over which our enemies quarreled with us, engaging us in many conflicts and wars until they destroyed it.’
Yitzchak called the second well Sitna (Obstruction) a harsher name than the first one to allude to the Second Temple which is called by that very name, as it is written (Ezra 4:1) “During the reign of Achashverosh at the beginning of his reign they wrote a hateful accusation (sitna) against those who dwelled in Yehuda and Yerushalayim” and all its days the enemies were hateful to us until they destroyed it and we went into a terrible exile from it.
Ramban concludes:
‘Yitzchak called the third well Rechovot (Spacious) as an allusion to the Third Temple, may it be rebuilt speedily in our days. It will be built without conflict and without dispute and God will expand our borders as it says (Dvarim 19:8) “When HaShem your God expands your borders” which speaks of a future time. And concerning the Third Temple it is written (Yechezkel 41:7) “It broadened (u’rechava) and expanded upward. The verse ends with the words “and can be fruitful in the Land” alluding to the fact that in the future (Zepahania 3:9) “all of the nations will serve God with a single resolve.’
Rashi comments that “When HaShem, your God expands your borders in accordance with the oath of your forefathers…” (Dvarim 19:8) refers to God’s promise to Avram in Parshat Lech Lecha, Breisheet 15:18-21: “On that day God made a covenant with Avram, saying: ‘To your descendents I have given this land, from the river of Egypt as far as the great river, the Euphrates. The lands of the Kenites, Kenizites, Kadmonites, the Chitites, Perizites, the Refaim, the Emorites, Cnaanites, Girgashites and Yevusites.
Rashi points out that there are ten nations listed here, yet God gave us only the land of the Seven nations. The three whose lands were not given, Keini, Knizi, Kadmoni (Edom, Moav and Amon) are destined to be possessed in the future, after the coming of the mashiach as it says in Yishayahu11:14: “They will overpower Edom and Moav and the Amonites will obey them.”
We see from here that in the days of the Third Temple, the borders of Israel will expand. In the meantime, there is still plenty of room within our current borders for Jews from around the world who would like to make aliya now, rather than wait for the arrival of the mashiach.
