Astonishing: The Zohar Accurately Predicts the Industrial Revolution

As is well known, the 19th century saw the onset of the 'industrial revolution.' During this period, the world was flooded with unprecedented scientific knowledge in all fields.^{[1]<\/sup><\/span><\/sup><\/p>}

Professor Czarnowski writes about this^{[2]<\/sup><\/span><\/sup>:}

"The nineteenth century made greater progress than all preceding centuries in natural knowledge and understanding its essence; it solved many of the world's important riddles considered unsolvable at the beginning; it unveiled, in science and cognition, new areas that man had not dreamed of their existence a hundred years earlier."

Here is a partial list of scientific discoveries made during that time:<\/p>

• The concept of the atom (Dalton) – in 1805 CE.<\/li>
• Electricity (Ampère) – in 1823 CE.<\/li>
• Laplace's formulas – in 1825 CE.<\/li>
• The telegraph (Joseph Henry) – in 1831 CE.<\/li>
• Electromagnetism (Gauss) – in 1833 CE.<\/li>
• Discovery of electrochemical principles (Faraday) – in 1834 CE.<\/li>
• Law of conservation of energy (Joule) – in 1842 CE.<\/li>
• Doppler effect – in 1842 CE.<\/li>
• Radio – in 1842 CE.<\/li>
• Boolean mathematics (basis for modern computer languages) – in 1845 CE.<\/li>
• Second law of thermodynamics - entropy (Rudolf Clausius) – in 1850 CE.<\/li>
• Breakthrough in the discovery of bacteria and vaccines. (Louis Pasteur) – in 1857 CE.<\/li>
• Spectroscopy (Bunsen and Kirchhoff) – in 1859 CE.<\/li>
• Dynamite (Alfred Nobel) – in 1864 CE.<\/li>
• Mendelian inheritance laws – in 1865 CE.<\/li>
• The periodic table of elements (Mendeleev) – in 1869 CE.<\/li>
• Maxwell's equations (electromagnetism) – in 1873 CE.<\/li><\/ul>

  And more...

  Surprisingly, in the sacred book of the 'Zohar,' written about 1,900 years ago, there is a prophecy that in the year 5,600 from creation (=the 19th century), the springs of wisdom will open:^{[3]<\/sup><\/span><\/sup><\/p>}

  "And in the six hundredth year of the sixth millennium (5,600 years from creation, which is the 19th century) the gates of wisdom above and the fountains of wisdom below will open. And the world will prepare itself to enter the seventh millennium. Like a person who prepares themselves on the sixth day of the week in the afternoon for the entrance of the *Shabbat*, so too here. And your sign: 'In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, etc., all the fountains of the great deep burst forth'."

  Indeed, there was a gradual and normal development of human knowledge throughout history, but the sacred Zohar already foresaw the eruption of wisdom and gave it an exact date.<\/p>

  Another prophecy of Jeremiah that is manifesting right before our eyes in recent decades:^{[4]<\/sup><\/span><\/sup><\/p>}

  "Thus says Hashem, again will be heard... in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, that are desolate without man and without inhabitant and without beast... the voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the groom and the voice of the bride"^{[5]<\/sup><\/span><\/sup>.<\/p>}

  When these verses were said, the people of Israel were exiled and Jerusalem was desolate and barren^{[6]<\/sup><\/span><\/sup>. However, Jews throughout the generations continued to pray that Hashem would fulfill this promise and restore the situation to its former state.<\/p>}

  And today, against all possible predictions, anyone who has visited Jerusalem can testify that wedding halls are full from one end to the other and one hears those sounds of joy and gladness as the prophecy describes precisely.<\/p>

  Additionally, the prophet Zechariah predicts:^{[7]<\/sup><\/span><\/sup><\/p>}

  "Thus says Hashem of hosts, old men and women shall yet sit in the streets of Jerusalem, and every man with his staff in his hand for very age. And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in its streets."

  It's so simple to see this today, yet it was so far-fetched during the exile.<\/p>

  Only the Creator of the world, whose knowledge is beyond time, and whose will is unrestrained, can commit to distant and complex future scenarios and fulfill them.<\/p>

  Many wonder, what will happen in the end of days? Will the world conduct itself as usual? Or will we begin anew from Genesis? What are the days of the Messiah and the resurrection of the dead? Many hope, wish, and pray for the end of days, for days of spiritual pleasure and human perfection. Indeed, will all be worthy to witness the promised delight?
