title: Let’s discuss: Who is Moshiach?

Some video with standard (Rambam like) talk about 'moshiach', narrowing
it down to: gather the exiled, build the temple, and something else. It
was the point that 'moshiach' is a 'job description' and not so much a
person. Then there where comments on the video (from other people),
saying that this was wrong. However, I agree with the Rabbi in the
video, trying to argue the case with these other commentators (going off
a bit too long I guess, sorry about that) ... (It is harder to write in a comment box attached to a 'short video' because the video can jump away
if you press down arrow or something.)

Three comments already, saying it
is _not_ a job discription. Are you
idolators ? Don't we have enough
personality politics in the world
? Being a Prophet is a job description:
keep to the Law, listen to heaven
giving you what is going to happen
and relate it to the people (who
must kill you if you get it wrong),
overtly _claim_ to be a prophet and
speak for the Creator (HKB'H), get
everything correct, and then Israel
is officially obligated to listen
to you (even though in reality,
they might not listen, but ignore or
even kill you instead). That is a job
description. Being King over the Jewish
people is also a job description: read
the Torah, and so on. This 'moshiach'
of the 'final Redemption' is again
a job description. You do it, or you
don't do it. It is that simple. If you
do and succeed, perhaps the prophets
talked about that person. While there
may be a selection made for who is the
most suitable candidate to do it, it is
a selection for a job, a very specific
job of getting the world to stop
destroying itself in war and abusing
each other in general. Personally I
think the job description is so much
more wide than some jewish Rabbis seem
to think. Just to be King over one
small Nation and build one building
and get a bunch of Jewish people to
the lands around Yerushalayim ? Wow,
that easy eh ? I don't think so, no. It
is about that perhaps as well, but it
is about the really big issue: evil on
Earth in general, all over the world
and not just in one small Nation. If
Israel is the tool to get to the whole
world, then that tool must be used
and accomplish its job. Perhaps all it
takes is what the Rabbi says, and the
consequences would be that humanity
stops being evil and a bunch of trolls
and following the most absurd lies
anyone can imagine. However that is
still only a mechanism for the deeper
job, which pretty much is: world wide
an end to all evil, either sooner or
not much later than sooner. You can
then deepen that one level I guess,
and say that heaven is doing all this
actually, and for this purpose they
need a tool, someone to perform that
function of 'moshiach' for them, which
is exactly what the Creator says in the
Torah: my servant. My employee. Someone
who is fitting to do that job. This
may well mean that this person is not
the best person generally in the world,
either. Take someone who is extremely
kind to everyone, unbelievably wise,
and so on. While this may be the
superior human to have ever lived, it
may be not quite good enough for this
particular job. He might realize that
there is no hope for such a hard necked
people, and give up. Where he less
intelligent, he might just doggedly
bite himself into it and never give
up even though it becomes absolutely
silly to keep going and argue the Torah
with Israel. Well, I am theorizing
a bit also from my own perspective,
but the point is the principle I am
making. Perhaps he is not the kindest
person, and therefore willing to use
harsh words against otherwise nice
Jewish people. Heaven then takes this
also hard necked and kind of boring
and a little bit mean person, and like
sets it on Israel like a tick almost,
like a nuisance. Unbeknownst to that
person this 'moshiach' or whatever,
heaven pushes through World War 3
and absolutely terrible calamities
on Earth which nobody can ever even
imagine would happen, to from their
end force Israel to realize: you go
back to your Torah, or you will be
annihilated. It is a job description,
and to say anything else is probably
idolatry (punishable by death in the
Torah). The idols are supposed to fall,
remember ? Only the truth makes it
to the end, the truth, and not your
idolatry which I think is a behavior of
monkeys. The blind subjugation to an
'identity' a 'personality'. That is
your monkey talking. Be a human being,
talk to someone as an equal, be real
and try to resolve your decisions
in peace and kindness. You want to
subjugate to idols, like oxen live
under the boss bull, and lions live
under the lion boss man. That's for the
animals. In the end, only one real boss
will survive the fall of the idols,
and that may be the Creator himself,
because we surely didn't put this
Universe into being, and so we can
imagine it may be something great and
we just don't know - we can call this
God, we can call this the Creator, we
can call this HKB'H. Once his Torah has
been proven and understood. Someone
got up from the couch here just
now, and just blurted out (can you
believe this?) "personality is not
enough". hahahahaha So funny. I
was just typing like a maniac
for myself. Sorry, I went on too
long here. The idolatry leads to
stupidity. You worship some kind of
fantasy, and that will solve all your
problems. It will not, you should use
brain to solve problems. Kings are
usually worshiped as gods. The Pharao,
was also thought of as a god. Roman
Emperors, more gods. This is the line
you idolators are continuing. The
Torah is against all that, even by
the death penalty. I think because
the idolatry creates mindlessness
and injustice. Sorry again I wrote
too much. Have a nice day.

The Jewish peole need to stop with
Rambam, or they will face the worst
because of those lies. Shemita 10:8,
prozbul, stop with these lies and your
idolatry, Israel.
