Ariel Sharon who suffered a stroke in 2006 and fell into an irreversible coma, died Saturday at the age of 85.
He was former Israeli prime minister and an accomplished general. He was an instrumental figure in the 1956 Suez War, the Six Day War of 1967, the Yom Kippur War of 1973 and as Minister of Defense directed the 1982 Lebanon War.
Although a longtime hardliner, Sharon shocked his political base by expelling Jewish settlers from 21 Gaza settlements and from four on the West Bank. A few months later, he suffered a mild stroke in December 2005 and was released from the hospital after two days. A little more than two weeks later he suffered a massive intra cerebral hemorrhage from which he never recovered.
Sharon's death now brings Rabbi Yitzhak Kaduri's prophecy into the limelight. The well-respected Jewish Rabbi prophesied just before his death that the Messiah would not come until after the death of Ariel Sharon.
Rabbi Yitzhak Kaduri was a renowned Mizrahi Haredi rabbi who was best known for having read and memorized the Bible. His orthodox Jewish followers believed that his teachings were the most profound and that nobody had experienced a greater devotion to reading and studying the Torah than Kaduri, having lived for 108 years until his death in 2006, the same year Sharon went into a coma.
Kaduri claimed that he met the Jewish Messiah. He scribbled a note that would name the Messiah and instructed his followers not to open it until one year after his death. He also said that the Messiah would come shortly after the death of Ariel Sharon.
When it was finally opened, it read in Hebrew:
Yarim Ha’Am Veyokhiakh Shedvaro Vetorato Omdim
In English:
Concerning the letter abbreviation of the Messiah’s name, He will lift the people and prove that his word and law are valid.
In Hebrew, the letters of the bold part of the sentence form the word “Yehoshua”, the Hebrew name of Jesus. One of the most respected orthodox Jewish teachers of our time believed that he had met Jesus Christ and that he would be revealed as the Jewish Messiah in the very near future.
