1. The Cyclical Evolution of History and Recurring Prototypes.

We recently spoke of the cyclical evolution of history with many themes repeating themselves with variations.

See our articles:

So too, we find the Sages speaking of such matters regarding the struggles of Abraham the first Hebrew:

Abraham was a descendant of Arpachshad from the seed of Shem son of Noah.
Genesis (TCT) 10:
22 THE SONS OF SHEM WERE ELAM AND ASSHUR AND ARPACHSHAD AND LUD AND ARAM.

Abraham fougt a war agaisnt four leading Kings of the Ancient World:

Genesis (TCT) 10:
1 NOW IT CAME TO PASS IN THE DAYS OF AMRAPHEL THE KING OF SHINAR, ARIOCH THE KING OF ELLASAR, CHEDORLAOMER THE KING OF ELAM, AND TIDAL THE KING OF GOYIM.
2 THAT THEY WAGED WAR WITH BERA THE KING OF SODOM AND WITH BIRSHA THE KING OF GOMORRAH, SHINEAB THE KING OF ADMAH, AND SHEMEBER THE KING OF ZEBOIIM, AND THE KING OF BELA, WHICH IS ZOAR.
3 ALL THESE JOINED IN THE VALLEY OF SIDDIM, WHICH IS THE DEAD SEA.
4 FOR TWELVE YEARS THEY SERVED CHEDORLAOMER, AND FOR THIRTEEN YEARS THEY REBELLED.
5 AND IN THE FOURTEENTH YEAR, CHEDORLAOMER CAME, AND THE KINGS WHO WERE WITH HIM, AND THEY SMOTE THE REPHAIM IN ASHTEROTH KARNAIM AND THE ZUZIM IN HAM, AND THE EMIM IN SHAVEH KIRIATHAIM.
6 AND THE HORITES IN THEIR MOUNTAIN SEIR, UNTIL THE PLAIN OF PARAN, WHICH IS ALONGSIDE THE DESERT.
7 AND THEY RETURNED AND CAME TO EIN MISHPAT, WHICH IS KADESH, AND THEY SMOTE THE ENTIRE FIELD OF THE AMALEKITES, AND ALSO THE AMORITES WHO DWELT IN HAZEZON TAMAR.
8 AND THE KING OF SODOM AND THE KING OF GOMORRAH AND THE KING OF ADMAH AND THE KING OF ZEBOIIM, AND THE KING OF BELA, WHICH IS ZOAR, CAME FORTH, AND THEY ENGAGED THEM IN BATTLE IN THE VALLEY OF SIDDIM.
9 WITH CHEDORLAOMER THE KING OF ELAM AND TIDAL THE KING OF GOYIM AND AMRAPHEL THE KING OF SHINAR AND ARIOCH THE KING OF ELLASAR, FOUR KINGS AGAINST THE FIVE.

The Bible goes on to describe how the four kings from the north defeated the others and conquered Sedom. Lot, the nephew of Abraham, was at that time dwelling in Sedom.   He was taken  captive.
When Abraham was informed of this he, together with his servant Elazar, took 318 trained men and pursued the kings.
They defeated their adversaries and released Lot and his prossessions, and freed all the women and children who had also been taken.

17 AND THE KING OF SODOM CAME OUT TOWARD HIM, AFTER HIS RETURN FROM SMITING CHEDORLAOMER AND THE KINGS WHO WERE WITH HIM, TO THE VALLEY OF SHAVEH, WHICH IS THE VALLEY OF THE KING.
18 AND MALCHIZEDEK THE KING OF SALEM BROUGHT OUT BREAD AND WINE, AND HE WAS A PRIEST TO THE MOST HIGH GOD.
19 AND HE BLESSED HIM, AND HE SAID, "BLESSED BE ABRAM TO THE MOST HIGH GOD, WHO POSSESSES HEAVEN AND EARTH.
20 AND BLESSED BE THE MOST HIGH GOD, WHO HAS DELIVERED YOUR ADVERSARIES INTO YOUR HAND," AND HE GAVE HIM A TITHE FROM ALL.

The Sages saw this conflict as a prototype for future struggles culminating in a denouement in the End Times.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

2. Belief in a Messiah son of David.

Messiah in Hebrew simply means Anointed. 
An anointed future savior descended from King David (MBD - Messiah ben David) is mentioned several times in the Bible (e.g. Genesis 49:12 Isaiah chs. 9,11, Hosea 3:4-5, Ezekiel 37:24, Daniel 7). In addition the Messianic Era associated with the Messiah son of David is described at length and in detail (e.g. Isaiah 2:4, 11, 24:23 Zechariah 8, Joel 3:1, Jeremiah 31, Micah 4, Zephaniah 3, Daniel 12, etc).

Maimonides (1135-1204) is understood to say (based on the sources) that the Messiah son of David will:
Restore the throne of David
Rebuild the Temple
Gather the exiles
Restore the Torah
He will be a descendent of David.
He does not have to perform signs or wonders.
He will be a student of Torah.
He will force Israel to study Torah.
He will fight the wars of the LORD.
Elijah will come before Messiah.
The battle of Gog and Magog will precede the day of Messiah.
Messiah will purify the priesthood and Levites.
Messiah will identify and accept those who are truly of Israel.
Messiah will identify the Tribes of Israel letting each of the Israelites know what Tribe they pertain  to.
In the time of Messiah's reign there will be no hunger or wars.
In the time of  Messiah's reign the chief occupation on the earth will be the study of the LORD.

3. Messiah son of Joseph both as Person and  as PERSONIFICATION. The Brit-Am/Hebrew Awareness Appreciation.

There also exists a tradition that in the End Times there will arise a Messiah (or anointed leader) known as the Messiah son of Joseph, or son of Ephraim. This is hinted at in the Bible. It is referred to in the ancient Aramaic Translation of Yehonatan, briefly in the Talmud, and elsewhere.
One version of MBJ says he will be killed in the war against Gog and Magog (Sukkah 52a) but this is explained as a possibility and is not certain.

The older sources usually described the MBJ as leading the Ten Tribes. The later Commentary of the Malbim (1809-1979) discussed this in detail.

Belief in MBD is considered OBLIGATORY FOR RELIGIOUS JEWS. 

Belief in MBJ may be described as optional. Many leading rabbis avoid the subject altogether. We in Brit-Am/Hebrew Awareness belief in it. At all events at the least it may be considered a PERSONIFICATION of attitudes and actions that will characterize the Lost Ten Tribes (LTTs) headed by the Tribes of Joseph (Ephraim and Manasseh) in the End Times.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
4. The Messiah son of Joseph, and President Trump. A Possible Precursor?

Donald Trump suits a profile for the Messiah son  of Joseph on salient points. This does not mean that he is the said person but he may be a precursor to him.
He could be part of an evolving cycle that culminates in the real thing.
By examining this question we may learn about the MBJ, more about the Lost Ten Tribes (LTTs) and more about everything.
The concept of Messiah son of Joseph (MBJ) is indicated in the Bible though not expressly mentioned.
In Rabbinical Thought the figures of Joseph the LTTs, and the MBJ overlap and intertwine.
Apart from MBJ we have MBD. Belief in MBD is compulsory in MBJ it is optional. Not everybody relates to it. Belief in MBJ probably existed at least from the time of the Second Temple BUT only in recent times has it beem seriously related to.

MBJ is from the Tribe of Joseph. The USA represents part of the Tribe of Joseph. The two halves of Joseph are Ephraim and Manasseh. The USA is dominated by Manasseh but many of its inhabitants are from Ephraim.
The MBJ according to most opinions  will be from the Tribe of Ephraim.
MBJ will be pro-Jewish. He will help save Judah from its oppressors. He will take vengeance from them.
He will help the Jews return to the Land of Israel and rebuilt it.
MBJ is both a real person and an historical process.
He is a bit like the French Revolution and Napoleon. The French Revolution preceded Napoleon. It prepared the way for him. Napoleon institutionalized many of the reforms and attitudes of the Revolution and spread them throughout Europe and the World.
Many Rabbis in Modern Times saw the MBJ as Theodore Herzl (the Zionist leader) and Zionism. These were helping Jews work towards returning to the Land and then setting up an infrastructure for it.
The writings of Rabbi Kook and his followers tended to think along those lines and their successors still do.
Historically, the British and the USA were part of this. The British after WW1 gave the area of Palestine to the Mandate. They laid the infrastructure for the Jewish State. From 1914 to 1945 the Jewish population increased from ca. 50,000 to more than 600, 000. Despite vacillations, changes of heart, and desultory attempts to reject the Jewish Cause on the whole the British helped the Jews set up the beginnings of an independent Jewish state in the area. After the Jews fought their War of Indepdence against  the Arabs the State of Israel continued to grow. The US and France and others helped them, then it was the USA all the way.

Indications are that Judah will have suffered as it did during the Holocaust. Judah will have been rescued with the help of MBJ and Joseph will take revenge on the oppressors. The USA did this to some degree. It may already have happened.
MBJ is not just a person but a while period and MBJ comes to epitomize and bring the process to fruition.

The United States was the first country to recognize the provisional government of the state of Israel upon its founding in 1948, and it has for many decades been a strong and steady supporter of the Jewish state. Israel has received hundreds of billions of dollars in U.S. foreign aid in the post-World War II era, a level of support that reflects many factors, including a U.S. commitment to Israels security and the countries' shared foreign policy interests in a volatile and strategically important part of the world. Israel is also a leading buyer of U.S. weapons systems via traditional arms sales.
Israel has been the largest cumulative recipient of U.S. foreign aid since its founding, receiving about $310 billion (adjusted for inflation) in total economic and military assistance.
.... nearly all U.S. aid today goes to support Israel's military, the most advanced in the region.

The USA always assisted Israel but the amount drastically increased after 1971, at first it was economic and military now it is nearly all military.
The aid was always there but often there were stings attached. The freedom of Israel to take action against its enemies was sometimes circumscribed or curtailed. Israel was forced to be conciliatory at times to it its Muslim opponents and not always to react when provoked. Israel was often forced to surrender territories it had liberated and even to evacuate settlements that Jewish pioneer had built up,
Under Trump the climate has changed. President Trump and his team seem as much in favor of Israel as the right-wing Israeli  themselves are.
Not only President Trump but also those around him are strongly in favor of Israel.
U.S. aid reportedly accounts for some 15 percent of Israel's defense budget. Israel, like many other countries, also buys U.S. military products outside of the FMF program.

Most of the aid provided needs to be spent on US defence products which incidentally also help the USA built its own industries and adapt them to actual real-life needs and exigencies.

Marco Rubio, Secretary of State

March 1, 2025

I HAVE SIGNED A DECLARATION TO USE EMERGENCY AUTHORITIES TO EXPEDITE THE DELIVERY OF APPROXIMATELY $4 BILLION IN MILITARY ASSISTANCE TO ISRAEL. THE DECISION TO REVERSE THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION'S PARTIAL ARMS EMBARGO, WHICH WRONGLY WITHHELD A NUMBER OF WEAPONS AND AMMUNITION FROM ISRAEL, IS YET ANOTHER SIGN THAT ISRAEL HAS NO GREATER ALLY IN THE WHITE HOUSE THAN PRESIDENT TRUMP.

SINCE TAKING OFFICE, THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION HAS APPROVED NEARLY $12 BILLION IN MAJOR FMS SALES TO ISRAEL. THIS IMPORTANT DECISION COINCIDES WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP'S REPEAL OF A BIDEN-ERA MEMORANDUM WHICH HAD IMPOSED BASELESS AND POLITICIZED CONDITIONS ON MILITARY ASSISTANCE TO ISRAEL AT A TIME WHEN OUR CLOSE ALLY WAS FIGHTING A WAR OF SURVIVAL ON MULTIPLE FRONTS AGAINST IRAN AND TERROR PROXIES.
THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION WILL CONTINUE TO USE ALL AVAILABLE TOOLS TO FULFILL AMERICA'S LONG-STANDING COMMITMENT TO ISRAEL'S SECURITY, INCLUDING MEANS TO COUNTER SECURITY THREATS.

=================
Israel has long been the leading recipient of U.S. foreign aid including military assistance.
Not only Israel but other nations have also been helped by the USA. Nearly all countries in the world have been assisted by the USA.

The UK and USA have both fulfilled aspects associated with Joseph. This has come to a head under President Trump who is proud of his efforts for Israel. The same applies for the people around the President.

Wikipedia:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel%E2%80%93United_States_relations
The United States was the first country to recognize the nascent State of Israel on May 14, 1948.[1]
 the United States is Israel's largest trading partner; two-way trade totaled nearly $50 billion by 2023.[5] 300 American mostly technology oriented companies have set up R&D centers in Israel, whilst 650 Israeli technology companies operate in the United States.[6][7] Israeli American partnerships tend to contribute to relatively niche sectors of the American economy with the effect multiplying positively toward the wider economy.[8]
In addition to financial and military aid, the U.S. provides large-scale political support, having used its United Nations Security Council veto power 42 times against resolutions condemning Israel, out of 83 times in which its veto has been used. Between 1991 and 2011, out of the 24 vetoes invoked by the U.S., 15 were used to protect Israel.[9][10] As of 2021, the United States remains the only permanent member of the United Nations Security Council to have recognized the Golan Heights as non-occupied Israeli sovereign territory, recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, and moved its embassy there from Tel Aviv in 2018.[11]

5. MBJ will go to war against Edom.

The UK and USA together represent Joseph. They fought against Germany in WW1 and WW2.
Germany is often associated with Edom but it could be any one of a number of other countries depending on the circumstances.
Many nations have military and social elites descended from Edom and therefore could fulfill the role of Esau father of Edom.

MBJ in some sources is somehow connected to Edom or to Rome. President Trump has some German ancestry.

There are sources that associated both the Tribe of Manasseh and MBJ with rebuilding the Temple. How this will come about is not clear. At present the Jews do not wish to rebuild the Temple due mainly to Jewish Religious legal considerations .
President Trump did move the US Embassy to Jerusalem.

MBJ will help the LTTs known that they are of Israelite Ancestry. President Trump by strengthening traditional values has taken  a step along that pathway.

The book "Kol HaTor" ("Voice of the Turtle-Dove") speaks of the MBJ as playing a leading role in bringing the Jews back to the Land of Israel and building up the Land. This was also the view of the Vilna Gaon and of Rabbi Kook.
President Reagan helped the Jews of Ethiopia and of Russia come to Israel. Presdient Trump in some ways appears to be following the example of Reagan.
The Nations of the Earth are often united agaisnt the State of Israel. 

UN Condemns Israel 17 Times, Rest of World Combined 6 Times
https://unwatch.org/un-condemns-israel-17-times-6-on-rest-of-world-combined/
NEW YORK, Dec. 19, 2024 - The UN General Assembly rebuked Israel today in three separate resolutions, concluding the world body's 2024 activity with a total of 17 resolutions that single out the Jewish state, compared to a total of 6 on the rest of the world combined.

"The UN's latest assault on Israel with a torrent of one-sided resolutions is surreal," said Hillel Neuer, Executive Director of UN Watch, an independent non-governmental watchdog organization in Geneva.
"It's absurd that in the year 2024, out of a total of 23 UN General Assembly resolutions that criticize countries, 17 of them, nearly three quarters, were focused on a single country, Israel. Make no mistake, the purpose of the lopsided condemnations is to delegitimize Israel and to demonize and dehumanize Israelis," said Neuer.
"This demonization fuels the pro-Hamas agitators in America and around the world who today are targeting Jews with hate and violence on campus, at synagogues and community centers, and at their businesses."

 Today a one-sided resolution singling out Israel for the humanitarian situation in Gaza, initiated by Norway, was adopted by a vote of 137 to 12, with 22 abstentions. The resolution expressed support for UNRWA despite its proven ties to Hamas terrorism while "welcoming" a July 2024 ICJ advisory opinion which declared that "Israel's continued presence in the Occupied Palestinian Territory is unlawful." The resolution now launches another ICJ advisory opinion against the Jewish state. The text made no mention of Hamas's looting of aid convoys as contributing to the humanitarian condition. "We're not surprised to see Norway covering for terror-infested UNRWA," said Neuer, "given that the director of Norway's foreign ministry, Leni Stenseth, recently served as deputy chief of UNRWA, when she infamously visited Gaza and kowtowed before Hamas terror chief Yahya Sinwar."

"Last week, in an emergency session to condemn Israel, the General Assembly passed a related resolution supporting UNRWA, which made no mention of Hamas infiltration of UNRWA, instead praising the agency for its 'neutrality.' It passed by a vote of 159 to 9, with 11 abstentions. Shockingly, the U.K., Canada, and most of the European Union voted in support of this deeply biased resolution.

UN condemned Israel more than all other countries ...

4 Jan 2024- The United Nations General Assembly condemned Israel twice as often as it did all other countries combined in 2023, according to UN Watch.
In many parts  of the world, including "civilized" places like Ireland, it is unsafe for a Religious Jew to go out on  the streets with a kippa on his head.
Recently Jewish  students were widely targeted at US univerrsities and physically intimidated for being Jewish.
This has been the case due to the agitation of left-wingers, and radical colored people activists who in  some cases were funded with Arab money.

President Trump and his team have taken action in protection of the Jews. This is MBJ.
MBJ represents Joseph who became like a Gentile in order to reform the Gentiles from within.
This was the opinion concerning MBJ of both Rabbi Moseh David Valle (1697-1776) and Abraham Isaac Kook  (1865-1933).

Joseph under MBJ will help protect and revenge Judah from its enemies:

Obadiah (NKJV) 1:
21 Then Saviors shall come to Mount Zion
To judge the mountains of Esau,
And the kingdom shall be the LORD's.

It mentions "Saviors" in the Plural. This is understood as referring to both MBJ and MBD.

Edom and Egypt versus Judah:

JOEL 3:
19 BUT EGYPT WILL BE DESOLATE, EDOM A DESERT WASTE, BECAUSE OF VIOLENCE DONE TO THE PEOPLE OF JUDAH, IN WHOSE LAND THEY SHED INNOCENT BLOOD.

EZEKIEL 25:
12 THIS IS WHAT THE SOVEREIGN LORD SAYS: BECAUSE EDOM TOOK REVENGE ON JUDAH AND BECAME VERY GUILTY BY DOING SO,
13 THEREFORE THIS IS WHAT THE SOVEREIGN LORD SAYS: I WILL STRETCH OUT MY HAND AGAINST EDOM AND KILL BOTH MAN AND BEAST. I WILL LAY IT WASTE, AND FROM TEMAN TO DEDAN THEY WILL FALL BY THE SWORD.
14 I WILL TAKE VENGEANCE ON EDOM BY THE HAND OF MY PEOPLE ISRAEL, AND THEY WILL DEAL WITH EDOM IN ACCORDANCE WITH MY ANGER AND MY WRATH; THEY WILL KNOW MY VENGEANCE, DECLARES THE SOVEREIGN LORD. 

 The world is against Judah. Nevertheless, President Trump and his team have up to now endeavored quite vigorously to help Israel and to combat antisemitism everywhere.

6. President Trump and the Anointment with Blood.

When the Israelites came out of Egypt they moved through the Wilderness for 40 years. In the Wilderness they had a Tabernacle which was like portable Temple that could be put up then pulled apart carried somewhere else and put up again. After the parts of the Tabernacle were first constructed they had to be anointed with holy oil. The Priests also had to be anointed but this was done with the blood of a sacrificed ram.

Leviticus (TCT Tanak) 8:
22 AND HE BROUGHT NEAR THE SECOND RAM, THE RAM OF THE INVESTITURES, AND AARON AND HIS SONS LEANED THEIR HANDS [forcefully] UPON THE RAM'S HEAD.
23 AND HE SLAUGHTERED [it], AND MOSES TOOK SOME OF ITS BLOOD, AND PLACED IT ON THE CARTILAGE OF AARON'S RIGHT EAR, ON THE THUMB OF HIS RIGHT HAND AND ON THE BIG TOE OF HIS RIGHT FOOT.

This anointing with the blood of the ram parallels blood that adhered to Donald Trump as a result of the assassination attempt on his life.

Before Donald Trump became President for the second time he was campaigning on July 13, 2024 in Butler, Pennsylvania, USA.
During the speech he was giving he averted his gave for a split second just as a bullet whizzed past his head. His life was saved but his right ear was slightly nicked and bloodied. He touched his ear with his righthand thumb and it too was bloodied.
Researcher Alexander Zephyr,saw this as a sign of Divine Approbation. When  Aharon, the brother of Moses, and his sons were receiving their investiture as High priest and Priests in the Tabernacle in the Wilderness, the ceremony included
placing blood from the sacrifice on the righthand thumb, the righthand ear, and the right hand foot.

# According to Trump, the agents "hit me so hard [pushing him out of the way of danger] that my shoes fell off, and my shoes are tight".
After they removed his shoes some blood spilled on his feet. #

The assassination attempt of Trump took place before ca.50,000 people, and the investiture of the priests require that the Consecration be performed in front of "ALL THE CONGREGATION."
There were other points indicating a Biblical Significance in what had happened.
In the Hebrew Language Consecration is "Mashica"  implying anointing with the holy oil. The results of the attempt at assassination were parallel to those of anointing, or appointing for special Divinely-approved service.
Alexander Zephyr  sees all this as proof that Tramp too in some way may be Divinely anointed!:
