Donald Trump, President of the United States of America, hit the ground running even before he officially took office and has made a big splash. His affect on the Israel-Gaza situation has been immediate and Israelis are largely ecstatic so far by Trump's involvement and positions.
Many of his fans have considered him other worldly, sent by God (isn't everybody?), a harbinger of the Messiah, and according to some even the Messiah himself!
I guess Rav Moshe Shternbuch is not one of those fans.
Behadrei is reporting on a shiur given by Rav Moshe Shternbuch in which he said that people think we are strong, have a strong army, a powerful air force, but nothing can come of any of that. The only thing we have is God and the redemption can only come when we recognize that nobody can help us other than God h(H)imself.
Rav Shternbuch continued saying right now people are relying on the new president of the US and they think he will help us. You have to know, those people are delaying the coming of Mashiach. Only when people understand that God is the only power that can help us, nobody but God, we wont be saved by the President of the USA, only then can God bring our salvation.
Fair enough, but cant Trump (or anyone else) be the tool God sends via which the salvation is effected?
What do you think?
