Whoever Believes Will Be Saved from the Iranian Atom – The Daily Chizuk from the Gaon and Tzaddik Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a

The Daily Chizuk (strengthening) from our teacher, the holy Gaon and Tzaddik Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a (may he live long and good days) – "Whoever believes and studies Gemara (Talmud) in Jerusalem, the atom will turn into candies"

Holy words from Sivan 5782 (June 2022) – "One must study Gemara every day." These are his holy words:

I just read a book about Rabbi Yeshaya of Kerestir zt"l (of blessed memory). A boy named Yitzchak Schwartz appeared before him; he was lying wounded in the snow. Rabbi Yeshaya said to him, "I am protecting you. Your grandfather served me faithfully, so now I am protecting you." He said this to his grandfather 30 years before the Shoah (Holocaust). He told them – now a Shoah is coming, and whoever holds onto emunah (faith) will be saved.

So the work is to strengthen oneself in emunah (faith) in the Tzaddik. Whoever goes with the Tzaddik, nothing can happen to him—not terrorists, not bombs. Even if Iran throws an atomic bomb – for whoever believes, it will turn into candies.

If an atom [bomb] falls here, it will turn into candies.

(The Rav, Rabbi Berland shlit"a, expounds in his words on the Book of Daniel, Chapter 8: 1. In the third year of the reign of King Belshazzar, a vision appeared to me, Daniel, after the one that appeared to me at the first. 2. And I saw in the vision, and it came to pass when I saw, that I was in Shushan the capital, which is in the province of Elam; and I saw in the vision, and I was by the river Ulai. 3. And I lifted up my eyes and saw, and behold, there stood before the river a ram which had two horns; and the horns were high, but one was higher than the other, and the higher one came up last. 4. I saw the ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward; and no beasts could stand before him, neither was there any that could deliver out of his hand; but he did according to his will, and magnified himself. 5. And as I was considering, behold, a he-goat came from the west over the face of the whole earth, and touched not the ground; and the goat had a conspicuous horn between his eyes. 6. And he came to the ram that had the two horns, which I saw standing before the river, and ran at him in the fury of his power. 7. And I saw him come close to the ram, and he was moved with choler against him, and smote the ram, and broke his two horns; and there was no power in the ram to stand before him; but he cast him down to the ground, and trampled upon him; and there was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand. 8. And the he-goat magnified himself exceedingly; and when he was strong, the great horn was broken, and instead of it there came up four conspicuous ones toward the four winds of heaven. 9. And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the beauteous land. 10. And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven; and some of the host and of the stars it cast down to the ground, and trampled upon them. 11. Yea, it magnified itself even to the prince of the host; and from him the continual burnt-offering was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down.)

Now, regarding Iran—it is written in Daniel about the King of Persia. I saw the King of Persia, that the King of Persia will take over the world, he will conquer the entire world—but only one who studies Gemara (Talmud) in Jerusalem will be able to repel him.

It is written in Daniel that the King of Persia will take control; the King of Persia will come and he will take over the whole world. He will have atomic bombs, and they will be thrown at all the countries.

And Daniel said, "I saw the King of Persia arriving, 'And I lifted up my eyes and saw a ram before the Ulai.'" The "Ulai" is the river.

"And it had horns." It has horns, "and the horns were high, and one was higher than the other, and the higher one came up last."

"I saw the ram pushing westward"—he will conquer—"westward and northward." The northern side is the Arctic Ocean. "And southward"—even southward. "And no beasts could stand before him, neither was there any that could deliver out of his hand; but he did according to his will, and magnified himself."

And he will succeed in conquering the whole world, conquering the whole world. "And as I was considering..." I am looking at this sight, at this vision.

And he saw in a dream, "and behold, a he-goat." Suddenly a he-goat arrives—this is a goat, a buck; a "tzaphir" is a male goat. He "pushes westward and northward and southward, and touched not the ground." He does not touch the ground; he hovers over the earth and he conquers the whole world.

"A conspicuous horn between his eyes." He has a horn between his eyes. "And the he-goat"—the "tzaphir" is the buck, a male ram. "And he came to the ram that had the two horns." The "one with the two horns" is the King of Persia, and he will conquer the whole world, the King of Persia.

"The one with the horns which I saw standing before the Ulai." The "Ulai" is the river that passes there in Persia. "And he ran at him in the fury of his power," and then he goes to gore him; he has horns. Just like Rabbi Chanina ben Dosa, where there was an argument between the shepherd and the homeowner.
