Hey, Nature Boy! What's With All Them Sheep?
Will you step lightly into the coming Third Temple reality…? Or land with a thud?
bs’d
The Third Temple reality will be an agrarian reality.
We discussed it HERE, and — no, friends — there’s no way around it.
If you’re a blogger or an insurance salesman or a tour guide or lawyer, your keyword today is TRANSITION.
You have no choice.
Chadesh Yameinu K’kedem.
We’re going back.
A full Torah life in Eretz Yisrael was always an agrarian proposition. So, if you’re not involved in husbanding animals or growing things and marketing your produce, then you’d better take up a handicraft that’s NECESSARY for the furtherance of a farmstead economy and lifestyle.
Because yes, there will be sandlers and smiths and jewelry makers and weavers and knitters — but how many craftsmen can a population of truly G-d fearing farmer-Jews support?
One way or another, you’re going to have to produce some food, as nearly 90% of the world’s population did until just over a century ago.
Because we’re going back.
And you can fight it, and believe that G-d is not going to destroy your condominium management business, or your auto-glass or tax preparation business, but know it well: you’re fighting a rearguard action.
And if you don’t start now… how do you expect to be ready for the next shemitta cycle?
How do you expect to have your skills honed?
Because it won’t do just to store up an ample hoard of seeds and expect they’ll produce any quantity of food that’s worth harvesting. Or that might sustain a family, however small.
It doesn’t work that way.
You need experience — a few years, at least.
So, too, with animals.
Do you know how to milk that goat you’re planning to purchase?
Are you ready for the cold nights of Tevet, when the first birthings occur, and you’ve gotta be out there in the barn, saving the kiddlings from that mud patch, or helping them nurse from an oblivious mother?
Are you ready to set the alarm for midnight to ensure they’ve had their colostrum in that first crucial week?
It don’t come easy, Jake.
So give your head a shake.
The time to start is now.
You need to relocate.
It won’t work in the middle of Rechavia, or in Pardes Katz or the old city of Tzfat.
You have to be in the hills.
Where there’s room.
And pasture.
And teachers.
Where the zapping sound of 5G radiation knocking off your neighbors, or causing fires in apartment blocks, or just giving you a migraine — is nary to be heard.
You need the fresh air and the nighttime quiet — just like the Avot and Imahot had.
And you owe it to yourself.
Don’t you?
To at least check out your options?
To explore the opportunity of surviving — and even thriving — through the chevlei mashiach?
And coming through the other side?
Because Geulah Shleima is the goal, right?
And it’s going to require a little sustenance to get you there.
So…
You’d better decide.
Are you going to rely on Rami Levi to feed Jake Junior and screaming little Zerubavella?
Or Shufersal?
Or maybe just a short wait in the bread line?
Or a long one?
Try a Google search.
Or better yet, Bing it.
And you’ll see.
The hilltop youth have already paved the way.
It’s time to pull up stakes, drive off, lay a foundation and start living a genuine Third Temple existence.
There are now countless locales, virtually unlimited opportunities to get started.
Are you not in the least intrigued?
It was the bad guys who built the cities, friends.
And ever since Bavel they’ve been exploiting them for their own, greedy this-worldly pleasure and gain.
And as a trap for good folks like yourself.
Best leave the metropolis to them.
The hills are where it’s at.
The Hills are alive…
