On March 18, 2022, noted Torah scholar and Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky passed away at the age of 94. Close to 850,000 mourners attended his funeral on March 20th.
The death date of 3/18 reminds me of Abram’s army of 318 soldiers he took to rescue his nephew Lot in Genesis (Bereshit) 14:14 (NKJV):
“Now when Abram heard that his brother was taken captive, he armed his three hundred and eighteen trained servants who were born in his own house, and went in pursuit as far as Dan.”
Indeed, Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky passed away in Bene Berak, Israel, which is mentioned in the Tanakh (Old Testament) in Joshua 19:45, as one of the towns within the allotment of the tribe of Dan; Dan is also mentioned in Genesis 14:14!
You can see video of the mourners, and it makes me think that God is giving us a picture of His end time army: the 144,000 Jewish evangelists of Revelation 7 and 14.
In my opinion, 144,000 is a symbolic number: I think there will be many more Jewish people who accept Yeshua (Jesus) as the Messiah, the Son of God, and evangelize the whole world during Daniel’s 70th Week.
It could be that, along with Satan and his fallen angels being cast down from Heaven (government videos of UFOs), the Mark of the Beast prelude (masks, mandatory vaccinations, vaccine passports in order to buy/sell/work), scarcity/hyperinflation (global supply chain/inflation), pestilence (coronavirus), war (Russia/Ukraine), and famine (present now and getting worse), God may be giving us another picture of what will happen in the time of Jacob’s Trouble (the Tribulation) with this near-million man army of Jewish evangelists who will be sealed by the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) during Daniel’s 70th Week as they spread the Good News about Salvation by Grace alone through Faith alone in Jesus Christ alone!
