D'Varim 11.4
 דברים 11.4


The Destruction of Evil-Till This Very Day



4.’And what He did to the army of Egypt; to its horses and to its riders, how He flooded the waters of the Reed-Sea over them as they pursued after you, and Hashem caused their destruction until this very day-וַאֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה לְחֵיל מִצְרַיִם לְסוּסָיו וּלְרִכְבּוֹ אֲשֶׁר הֵצִיף אֶת מֵי יַם סוּף עַל פְּנֵיהֶם בְּרָדְפָם אַחֲרֵיכֶם וַיְאַבְּדֵם יְהוָה עַד הַיּוֹם הַזֶּה(4240=10=1 or 9600+21 words=9621=18 counting final Pehs and Mems as 800 and 600).


The number 4240 is 10 fold the number 424:


 Mashiach son of David
 מָשִׁיחַ בֶּן דָּוִד
424=10=1


This teaches us that the destruction of all the enemies of Israel at the End of Days- "until this very day"- עַד הַיּוֹם הַזֶּה will be 10 times as powerful as the destruction of the Egyptians at the time of the Redemption from Egypt. The Torah of Mashiach will tear apart the entire world political-economic system based on lies and corruption in order to replace it with one based on Torah/Truth to the benefit of all Mankind in the Messianic era.  




The words "until this very day"- עַד הַיּוֹם הַזֶּהalso teach us that the words of this passage are relevant to all times and to the time of the defeat of the enemies of Israel at the time of the Final Redemption. The words "waters of the Reed-Sea"- מֵי יַם סוּף can be understood as "waters of Jerusalem End"- מֵי י"ם סוֹף.The enemies of Israel will be destroyed when they come to wage war on Jerusalem at the End of Days.

Intermarriage

הִתְבּוֹלְלוּת


D'varim 7.4

 דברים 7.4




4.’For he will turn away your son from following Me, and they shall serve other gods, and the anger of Hashem shall be inflamed against you, and He will destroy you quickly-כִּי יָסִיר אֶת בִּנְךָ מֵאַחֲרַי וְעָבְדוּ אֱלֹהִים אֲחֵרִים וְחָרָה אַף יְהוָה בָּכֶם וְהִשְׁמִידְךָ מַהֵר (2493=18).


The verse can be divided so:

·         For he will turn away your son from following Me, and they shall serve other gods- כִּי יָסִיר אֶת בִּנְךָ מֵאַחֲרַי וְעָבְדוּ אֱלֹהִים אֲחֵרִים (1475=17=8);

·         And the anger of Hashem shall be inflamed against you, and He will destroy you quickly- וְחָרָה אַף יְהוָה בָּכֶם וְהִשְׁמִידְךָ מַהֵר (1018=10=1).

Rashi comments here that from this verse we learn that the son of a non-Jewish son-in-law will turn away your grandson (his son) from following Hashem. Thus we learn that such progeny is called “your son”. But the son of a non-Jewish daughter-in-law is not called “your son” but “her son” (Yevamot 23.a; Kiddushin 68.b).

From here we also learn that Jewish lineage is through the mother.


The rate of intermarriage- הִתְבּוֹלְלוּת (“Hitbollelut”) between Jew and gentile in Israel and throughout the world is on the increase and more Jews have been “lost” than slaughtered by our enemies.

D'varim 4.29
 דברים 4.29



29. ’And you will seek from there Hashem your G-d and you shall find Him if you search after Him with all your heart and with all your soul-וּבִקַּשְׁתֶּם מִשָּׁם אֶת יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ וּמָצָאתָ כִּי תִדְרְשֶׁנּוּ בְּכָל לְבָבְךָ וּבְכָל נַפְשֶׁךָ (3862=19=10=1 or 6422+12 words=6434=17=8 counting final Mems and Kafs as 600 and 500).


The verse can be divided so:
·         And you will seek from there Hashem your G-d and you shall find Him - וּבִקַּשְׁתֶּם מִשָּׁם אֶת יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ וּמָצָאתָ(2258=17=8);
·         If you search after Him with all your heart and with all your soul-כִּי תִדְרְשֶׁנּוּ בְּכָל לְבָבְךָ וּבְכָל נַפְשֶׁךָ (1604+6 words=1610=8).



With all your heart and with all your soul
בְּכָל לְבָבְךָ וּבְכָל נַפְשֶׁךָ
1574=17=8 (Kafs 500)

With all your heart
בְּכָל לְבָבְךָ
586=19=10=1



Where is "from there"? 


Yerushalem
יְרוּשָׁלִַם
586=19=10=1



Yerushalem is the Heart of the Universe!

If one is prepared to sacrifice heart and soul for Hashem and Jerusalem then there he will find Him and there he shall be at 1 with Him and receive from Him eternal life (18).

In the words of King David (Psalms 137.5):


If I forget you Jerusalem-may my right hand lose its cunning

אִם אֶשְׁכָּחֵךְ יְרוּשָׁלָםִ תִּשְׁכַּח יְמִינִי


3424+5 words=3429=18 (final letters)

B'Midbar 33.54
במדבר 33.54


54.’ And you shall settle the Land by lot according to your families; to the numerous you shall increase its inheritance, and to the few you shall decrease its inheritance; wherever the lot falls to him, that shall be his according to the Tribes of your fathers you shall inherit-וְהִתְנַחַלְתֶּם אֶת הָאָרֶץ בְּגוֹרָל לְמִשְׁפְּחֹתֵיכֶם לָרַב תַּרְבּוּ אֶת נַחֲלָתוֹ וְלַמְעַט תַּמְעִיט אֶת נַחֲלָתוֹ אֶל אֲשֶׁר יֵצֵא לוֹ שָׁמָּה הַגּוֹרָל לוֹ יִהְיֶה לְמַטּוֹת אֲבֹתֵיכֶם תִּתְנֶחָלוּ(11785+24 words=11809=19=10=1 counting final Zadik and Mems as 900 and 600).


The verse can be divided so:
·         And you shall settle the Land by lot according to your families; to the numerous you shall increase its inheritance, and to the few you shall decrease its inheritance; wherever the lot falls to him, that shall be his-וְהִתְנַחַלְתֶּם אֶת הָאָרֶץ בְּגוֹרָל לְמִשְׁפְּחֹתֵיכֶם לָרַב תַּרְבּוּ אֶת נַחֲלָתוֹ וְלַמְעַט תַּמְעִיט אֶת נַחֲלָתוֹ אֶל אֲשֶׁר יֵצֵא לוֹ שָׁמָּה הַגּוֹרָל לוֹ יִהְיֶה (7443=18);
·         According to the Tribes of your fathers you shall inherit-לְמַטּוֹת אֲבֹתֵיכֶם תִּתְנֶחָלוּ ּ (2412=1+8 counting Mem as 600).
Rashi comments here that the Tribes were those that went out from Egypt (Baba Batra 117.a; Rashi to B’Midbar 26.55). Also, that the Land would have twelve borders which would correspond to the number of Tribes.

Here is support of Rashi's conclusion:

And you shall settle the Land
וְהִתְנַחַלְתֶּם אֶת הָאָרֶץ
3006=1+8 (final letters)

Children of Israel
בְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל
 603=1+8

3006+603=3609=18



It is no coincidence that the word the Torah uses for “inheritance”- הִתְנַחְלוּת is the word used today for “settlement”- הִתְנַחְלוּת ("Hitnachlut").
Settlement
הִתְנַחְלוּת
899=26=8
+ 1 word=900=1+8

The number 26 is the gematria of the Name "Hashem"-יְהוָה.

By building Jewish settlements in the Land of Israel one unifies and glorifies the Name of Hashem and by uprooting them one causes a desecration of the Name. It is that simple. Hashem will not stand idly by and let His name be desecrated with impunity.

Thus He has sent the entire world against Israel at the End of Days and He will take revenge on those that have acted against the Law of Torah.

It is that simple!
