Expert: Rabbi Ari Shishler Date: 3/31/2007 Subject: End of days in Kabbalah???
Question Shalom Rabbi Shishler,
What does Kabbalah tell about "The End of Days?" Are there exact references regarding destruction of Babylon, Damascus, etc...?
Happy Pesach...Matthew
Answer Hi Matthew
Thank you for your good wishes, happy Pesach to you too.
Kabbalah has many interesting references to the "End of Days". Seeing as Kabbalah is often written in enigmatic references, not all are easy to decipher- until events begin to unfold.
There are some interesting predictions in various Kabbalistic texts to Babylon and the "end of Days".
It's a little hectic here so close to Pesach, so please allow me to refer you to an interesting article on the subject: http://tinyurl.com/yruhfa. Please feel free to follow up on this discussion in a few days time :)
