In Its Time I Will Hasten Him
The most common objection to the figure of Yeshua (Jesus) of Nazareth as the long awaited and promised Messiah of Israel runs thus: ‘If Yeshua were really the Jewish Messiah, why is there no peace in the world?” A survey of the Talmud’s discussions on the subject of the messianic expectations reveals the lack of uniformity as to who the Messiah is, what he is to accomplish, and how (b.Sanhedrin 97a-99a).
On the identity of the Messiah, Maimonides (the Rambam) put it this way, that if a person – a potential Moshiach begins to accomplish those tasks and seems to possess the specific, requisite character traits, we can assume that he is the Moshiach. However, the final identification will take place only after he accomplishes each and every one of those tasks – (Hilchos Melachim 11:4).

Surviving the End Times requires a three legged stool…
Has anyone noticed the crazy acceleration of events in the last few months? Seriously! If in the last few years the world looked like it was coming unglued, today, there can be no 
doubt. Much like an engine over revving, the faster/farther we go, the smaller the hiccup required to cause this spinning top to completely explode!
Events in the US alone indicate that this economy/culture/society are on the brink of disaster, but Europe is in total meltdown and the Mideast continues to boil at an ever more violent rate.
While discussing current events with a close friend, I made the comment, ‘You know, survival takes a three legged stool?’ An interesting discussion ensued.
Honestly, none of us are prepared, though many have a good start. Here are some thoughts that each of us need to consider
