Jewish Press: A few months ago, the Tel Aviv municipality asked the Ma’ale Eliyahu yeshiva that’s been located outside Ichilov Hospital since 1996, to agree to vacate its premises and move to a comparable facility nearby. The yeshiva agreed. At some point, the fascistic left in the city got wind of the planned move and embarked on a crusade against letting another “messianic” yeshiva set root in their liberal city.
On May 10, the liberal forces called for a demonstration on behalf of the “Headquarters of the Struggle Against the Messianists,” and revealed: “The residents of north Tel Aviv near the State Circle were horrified to discover recently that a plan to erect a huge building on the pastoral Klee Street, for the far-right yeshiva Ma’ale Eliyahu, is facing final approval by the Tel Aviv-Jaffa Municipality, and is expected to increase the yeshiva four times from its current location on Henrietta Szold Street and will allow it to house 700 students who will bring their families with them to expand the religious settlement in the big city.”
One digression, if I may: Israel Beiteinu Chairman Avigdor Liberman, a fanatical enemy of the Haredi sector, is behind the current widespread use of the term “messianists” as a slur against right-wing national religious Jews. Liberman lives in the settlement of Nokdim in the liberated territories, and his wife, Ella, is a traditional Jew (their daughter Michal did Teshuva), and yet, he dubs opponents like Bezalel Smotrich “messianists,” suggesting there’s something wrong, or crazy, or evil in the fact that Jews yearn for the coming of the Messiah, and are involved in hastening his arrival.

How can it be, the people ask? Why are so many Jews liberal they ask? The answer is really very simple. They are fulfilling Bible prophecy.
“Surely the Lord does nothing unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets” Amos 3:7.
Isaiah 11:11 prophesied a regathering “In that day” referring to the time of Messiah:
“It shall come to pass in that day
That the Lord shall set His hand again the second time
To recover the remnant of His people who are left …”
Ezekiel 20:33-38 prophesied that when the Jews return they will return in unbelief:
“As I live,” says the Lord God, “surely with a mighty hand, with an outstretched arm, and with fury poured out, I will rule over you. 34 I will bring you out from the peoples and gather you out of the countries where you are scattered, with a mighty hand, with an outstretched arm, and with fury poured out. 35 And I will bring you into the wilderness of the peoples, and there I will plead My case with you face to face. 36 Just as I pleaded My case with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so I will plead My case with you,” says the Lord God. 37 “I will make you pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant; 38 I will purge the rebels from among you, and those who transgress against Me; I will bring them out of the country where they dwell, but they shall not enter the land of Israel. Then you will know that I am the Lord.”
And Paul prophesied in Romans 11:25 that because they refused His Messiah, God will partially blind (diminished capacity for discernment) their eyes:
“For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in.”
When the fullness of the Gentiles comes in (to Christ), the rapture will happen and God then turns His attention to saving the descendants of Jacob:
26 And so all Israel (Jacob) will be saved, as it is written:
“The Deliverer will come out of Zion,
And He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob;
For this is My covenant with them,
When I take away their sins.” Romans 11:26-27
