Lazer Beams – “US Major General Paul Vallely is no pushover; nor can one dismiss him as a frenzied prophet of doom. A former West Pointer and paratrooper, General Vallely from the army retired in 1993, when he was commander of US Forces in the Pacific. Today, he is military committee chairman emeritus for the Center of Security Policy (CSP) in Washington, DC.
In this recent interview (10 minutes, a 'must see'), General Vallely says that I've wanted to say for the past 15 weeks, hard facts that have been confirmed by impeccable sources. This past January in London, I said that Iran already has a nuclear warhead and that our hostile neighbors to the north are itching for a fight, confidant in the tens of thousands of missiles - conventional and otherwise - that are aimed at every square meter of Israel this very moment. General Vallely confirms all of this. He claims that the Iranians through their proxies in Syria and Lebanon are about to launch a massive missile offense against Israel. Rav Shalom Arush told me this also nearly 4 months ago, right before I left for London.
The Prophet Isaiah refers to the full redemption of our people and says in the Name of the L-rd, "In its time, I shall hasten it" (Isaiah 60:22), b'ita achishena. Rashi explains that if the people of Israel are worthy, then the Geula will be hastened (achishena). And if not, G-d forbid, the Geula will come on time (b'ita).
General Paul Vallely's is describing a perfect "on time" scenario, when the people of Israel haven't woken up from their spiritual slumber, forcing Hashem to bring the redemption with a harsh and heavy hand.
Rav Shalom, for months now, has been pleading with Hashem. Rav Shalom told me that every emuna CD has the power to neutralize a scud missile. If emuna (faith in the Sovereign power of the Eternal One of Israel) spreads all over - fast - we can delay the ballistic missiles, chemical and even nuclear warheads from falling in our midst. It's either emuna books & CDs or missiles - take your choice.
A compassionately hastened redemption depends on thousands of people turning to Hashem in emuna and personal prayer. This is the alternative to a Geula "on time" that defies the scariest adjectives in our lexicon. That's why I'm knocking myself out running around the world trying to spread emuna as fast as possible. Once the missiles start flying, everything else will be meaningless.
Let's avoid that. You will be asked in the Heavenly Court why you didn't help us spread emuna in your area. What will you answer?
