Leading Rabbi says the Messiah could arrive Thursday, cites 500-year-old book naming the Strait of Hormuz as site of final war
A respected Israeli rabbi is making a striking claim: the Messiah will be announced this Thursday, Rosh Chodesh Nisan, the first day of the Hebrew month of Nisan and the beginning of the Biblical calendar year. According to Rabbi Baruch Rosenblum, a leading rabbinical figure known throughout Israel, the timing is tied directly to one of the most strategically volatile waterways on earth, currently the focus of the war between the US and Iran: the Strait of Hormuz.
“God willing, Rosh Chodesh of Nisan, the beginning of the Biblical calendar year, is this Thursday, and there will be an announcement,” Rabbi Rosenblum declared in a lecture that has been circulating widely. “The radio will broadcast from Jerusalem, and in five minutes, we will hear a warning: the Messiah has arrived.”
Rabbi Rosenblum cited this teaching directly: “Our Sages teach that the first month of the Hebrew calendar, Nisan, sets the tone for the entire year. Messiah is predicted to come on the first day of Nisan, this Thursday.”
The Sages connect this expectation to the destruction of Amalek, the archetypal enemy of Israel. “What remains of the war against our enemies? We must finish them, particularly the leaders, by this Thursday,” Rosenblum said. He then made a striking remark: “I joked with President Trump, saying, ‘You must finish the job by Thursday.’ God willing, he will bring in the necessary resources, like B2 bombers, and the mission will be completed.”

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
