ed note–again, one of the most important scribblings flitting about the internet today that should be read by everyone with a vested interest in saving his/her own skin, and which should feature as the topic of discussion on every talk news program and from every pulpit in every church or mosque worldwide, but which, sad to say, will get no attention whatsoever aside from whatever modest exposure it receives right here at this humble little informational endeavor.
Firsto, a little bio on this ‘Rabbi Kook’ whose writings feature as the focal point of the essay penned by our deranged Hebrew, and no, that is not a typo, that’s his real name and obviously carries with it a lot of ‘coincidental’ significance.
‘Rabbi Kook’ was Israel’s first chief Ashkenazi Rabbi and today is viewed by those of the ‘religious’ pedigree such as these characters–
–as something of an icon in much the same way that historical figures such as Washington, Adams and Jefferson are revered by Americans for the role they played as the ‘Founding Fathers’.
Due to Kook’s being there from the very beginning as well as the various writings he did dealing with the ‘redemption’ of the land (i.e. the religiously-justified THEFT per the dictates of the Torah) there is an entire philosophical ‘school’ in Israel built around the rebbe’s writings, musings and mutterings, all of it 666% ‘pure’ in terms of Judaism’s demands and decrees, and again, all based upon the same Torah that demands a person be stoned to death if he/she is caught in the egregious, bloodthirsty crime of picking up sticks on a Saturday.
Now, the reason this particular essay deserves the attention that it does is because–just like putting a dangerous virus under the lens of a powerful microscope, thus revealing its essence and how it functions, likewise– what we 7 billion Gentiles have before us is a Kristol clear picture of what the followers of Judaism–utilizing the awesome and awful powers they possess in terms of money, media, politics and–lest we forget–several hundred nukes and who knows how many race-specific bioweapons–have in store for the rest of us.
Now, do not let the fact that our deranged Hebrew is a person of no importance in the bigger scheme of things without any measurable political power assuage the Gentile reader into thinking that his scribblings are of no account and represent only the deranged opinions of one lone nut without any deeper implications.
His statements herein represent–to some degree, even if such statements are not voiced out loud–the same sentiments of those who DO possess measurable political, economic and monetary power and who ARE engaged in a concerted, organized, hive-mind conspiracy against Gentile civilization, and in particular those Western countries whose identities are foundationed upon the ‘profane’ belief in the person and teachings of Jesus Christ.

While Rabbi Avraham Kook’s writings on love are often quoted during times of fraternal conflict and global war, one should not get the impression that Rabbi Kook was a naive liberal who fostered the creed of turning the other cheek.
For example, in the midst of World War I when the nations of the world were engaged in a savage outburst of killing and destruction, Rabbi Kook wrote the following–
When there is a great war in the world, the power of the Mashiach awakens…The time of the songbird has come, the weeding away of tyrants… The present World War is filled with deep and awesome expectations which point to the Revealed End leading to the settlement of Eretz Yisrael. ‘Master of wars, the sower of righteousness, Who causes salvation to sprout… cause a new light to shine upon Zion…, and may we all be speedily privileged to enjoy its light…
During the midst of World War I, with his penetrating gaze and deep Torah wisdom, Rabbi Kook understood that Hashem, ‘the Master of War,’ was bringing about a new stage in the history-sweeping drama of the Redemption of Israel. Indeed, in the aftermath of the war, the Balfour Proclamation opened a path toward the creation of an internationally-recognized Jewish Homeland. Later, in the aftermath of World War II, the State of Israel was established, although Jews had returned home over a hundred years earlier.
Today, we can see how Rabbi Kook’s vision applies as well to the ongoing Russian-Ukrainian war. No doubt one of the outcomes will be a great influx of olim in the continuing ingathering of the exiles to the Promised Land.
In his essays concerning war in his book ‘Orot,’ Rabbi Kook goes on to analyze the inner causes which led to the devastating world upheaval. He writes–
The moral repression found in the profane culture which exerted vast dominion over the nations, brought oppression to their hearts, and caused evil traits, diseases, and anger to multiply and be pent up in the depths of their souls. And now these are erupting their fetters through the horrendously bloody and awesomely cruel battles, which are more in keeping with their still unrefined natures.
The ‘profane culture’ he writes about which grew to dominate Western civilization is the outgrowth of Christianity, whose doctrines of repression burst through Christianity’s outer guise of gentility and brotherhood into a monstrous storm of violence and hate. Rabbi Kook explains that in denying the Torah and its commandments, Christianity separated mankind from Hashem.
Unlike the constant self-correction and moral improvement demanded by the Torah, through the diligent work of perfecting character traits, Christianity’s false show of morals proved impotent in uplifting man’s baser traits.
Only the Torah, Rabbi Kook explains, has the unique power to refine man’s nature. All other disciplines, whether religious, secular, philosophical, or scientific, can add to man’s quantitative knowledge, but they cannot affect any lasting inner change.
In his eye-opening essays, Rabbi Kook teaches that Christian civilization, and the profane culture which grew out from it, knows what is evil, but does not know how to correct it. It learned about morals from the Hebrew Bible, but in cutting itself off from Israel and the commandments of the Torah, requiring only a statement of belief in the Christian messiah, it separated mankind from the one and only path to Hashem and true morality.
According to Rabbi Kook’s Torah worldview, Christianity left man simmering in pseudo-religious darkness in a cauldron of unrefined passions and lusts which finally exploded in the devastating world war. He continues:
The sin of those who shed blood is saturated with stain – the evil kings of the land and the murderers who bring terror on the earth. ‘The land will not be atoned for the blood which has been spilled upon it except through the blood of those who spilled it’ (Jeremiah, 2:22), and atonement is sure to come – the total annulment of all of today’s cultural edifices, with all of their lies and deceit, with all of their evil pollutions and venomous poisons. The entire culture which flatters itself with melodious lies must be erased from the world, and in their stead will be established the kingdom of the high holy ones.’
Here we can see that Rabbi Kook wasn’t blind to the evil which existed in the world and he demands, in the light of the teachings of Torah and the Prophets of Israel, that the evil culture haunting mankind be obliterated from the earth, and in its place will shine forth the light of Israel–
The light of Israel will appear, to establish a world whose nations are possessed of a new spirit, nations who will no longer speak emptiness, and who will no longer act contemptuously against Hashem and against His Mashiach, against the life-light of the world, and against the perfection and belief embodied in the eternal covenant of the Torah… Then it will be known and proven that only in Him, in the G-d of Israel, is there salvation, and the salvation of Hashem will surely come…
The dissipation of the powers of the heathens, who are drunk with a poisonous cup, is sure to come. Hashem has opened His arsenal and taken out His weapons of war. Then the present-day culture will be totally erased, with all of its foundations… And all of the vain and cruel laws, and the evil and sinful customs of life, will all pass away to oblivion. And Hashem alone will be exalted above all on that day, and it shall come to pass in the end of days, that the mountain of the Lord’s House shall be established on the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills, and all of the nations shall stream unto it…
May it be soon.
