Watch: War in the Heavens

"From the moment that Rav Berland shlit"a filled several stadiums with tens of thousands of people, they began to persecute him. They understood that this is a man who exerts a powerful influence in the world and brings Israel closer to their Father in Heaven. Even now, despite the fact that he is in prison, massive rallies are being held in Hebron and at the Western Wall on his behalf, and they are afraid of this. We see that the blood libel against Rav Berland shlit"a, which began in Israel and continued abroad, is revealing itself as a worldwide phenomenon. A person came along, a state witness accused of attempted murder, who told a story; his wife has already admitted that it was all a lie, yet they still persecute him everywhere in the world. Where have we ever found such a thing?" asks Rabbi Ofek Cohen Zada.

"From this, one can learn of his greatness and stature, that they persecute him specifically." Rabbi Zada continues, returning to describe the words of Rabbi Dov Kook shlit"a, which he also mentioned in the previous conversation that we brought. And likewise, the story of the acceptance of suffering taken upon themselves by Baba Elazar, Rabbi Kook shlit"a, and our teacher Rav Berland. "Where have we seen such a thing? And especially since it is very possible that he is Mashiach!" continues Rabbi Zada. "You do not understand what is going on here at all; do you know what the great leaders of Israel say about him?!" Rabbi Zada addresses his listeners. "Look at just a few of his students, these are people who are shaking the entire world: Rabbi Shalom Arush, Rabbi Ofer Erez, Rabbi Shmuel Stern, and I haven't even started the list. Each of them is doing a tremendous work of bringing merit to the masses and saving souls; they all drew from this holy man - Rav Eliezer ben Atiya shlit"a."

This tzaddik has no fear of anything in the world, only of Hashem, and the fact that he is in prison is so that we will awaken to prayer. The tzaddik is engaged in a war against the Sitra Achra in the heavenly realms, and we here below must help him. How will they awaken us? They show us what suffering he is going through. I was privileged to participate with them in the prayer rally via computer - our master Rav Berland, who knows if he will not be Mashiach ben David."
