Whether or not Gog u Magog, (which is known as the final war before the Moshiach comes) is fully upon us or not, remains a mute point. When approached from a deeper perspective the Nation of Israel has been involved with this war for quite some time and is now being manifested in the physical as “the New World Order” or “Globalism.”
The midrash on Esther states that Gog u Magog learn from past enemies of the Jewish people who failed to defeat us. According to the midrash, they decide to challenge our connection to the Creator first before attempting to physically destroy us.
The challenge to our pure faith in the Creator has been building since the enlightenment, but it is clear in the modern era it is total. We have become a religion, a dogma, stripped of the inherent truth and simple realization of the Creator’s presence found throughout our reality.
Rebbe Nachman points out that each member of the Nation of Israel is found in a spiritual galut with the 70 nations. The Ari points out that the gematria (numerical value) of Gog u Magog is in fact 70. Rebbe Nachman is providing us a clue to the final battle and that is each one of us is involved in a personal way with Gog u Magog, which is attempting to strip us from our own personal Jerusalem, i.e. the eternal Jerusalem or connection to G-d found within. By severing our faith or in Hebrew Emunah, Gog u Magog is attempting to wipe us out for all time and complete their global reign. We can stop them by reconnecting to the creator and by disconnecting from their global program that I want to deem “Spiritual Holocaust.”
By building our Emunah or faith in the divine providence of the Creator we can defeat our own inner Gog u Magog and ultimately join together to defeat the global Gog u Magog.
