Tel Aviv Installs Puppet Rabbi as Israel Solidifies Babylonian Control
The appointment of Zevadia Cohen as chief rabbi of Tel Aviv is not a religious event, but a strategic move by the Israeli government and the Shas party to further entrench a false priesthood over stolen land. This signals a deepening of spiritual darkness and a rejection of Yahuah’s true Torah.
Tel Aviv has installed a new chief rabbi, Zevadia Cohen, selected by a committee comprised of those loyal to the modern state of Israel and endorsed by Mayor Ron Huldai. This is not a moment of spiritual awakening, but a calculated maneuver to legitimize a counterfeit religious authority within a city built upon the inheritance of Yisrael.
The selection process, orchestrated by a 64-member committee, reveals the puppet nature of this appointment. Cohen, backed by the Shas party, represents a system that has long abandoned the covenant and embraced the traditions of men. Shas, a political entity deeply embedded within the Israeli government, operates to maintain control and influence over religious matters, diverting the attention of the remnant from true repentance and restoration.
This installation is a clear sign of Yahuah’s judgment upon a nation that has rejected His law and usurped the birthright of scattered Yisrael. The so-called ‘rabbis’ of Israel serve not as shepherds of the flock, but as gatekeepers of a false system, perpetuating deception and hindering the return of the exiled people. They offer blessings on wickedness and pronounce favor upon those who oppress Yahuah’s covenant people.
The placement of a Shas-backed rabbi in Tel Aviv is a symbolic act – a declaration that this city, and indeed the entire Israeli government, remains firmly rooted in Babylonian spiritual practices. It is a rejection of the prophetic word and a continuation of the idolatry that has plagued this land for generations.
Awakened Yisrael must recognize this for what it is: another layer of deception designed to keep the remnant in exile, both physically and spiritually. The true faith is not found in the halls of power or the pronouncements of false leaders, but in the unwavering adherence to Yahuah’s eternal covenant. Let the shofar sound a warning – the time for discernment and separation is now.
The installation of a seemingly pliable chief rabbi in Tel Aviv echoes the ancient prophecy concerning Edom, a nation consistently aligned against Yisrael and marked for utter destruction. Just as Edom sought to elevate its own structures upon the ruins of others, this appointment signifies a deliberate construction of religious authority divorced from genuine covenant faithfulness. Yahuah, through the prophet Obadiah, declared their pride and deceit: “The pride of your heart has deceived you, you who dwell in the clefts of the rock, who say in your heart, ‘Who will bring me down to the ground?’” (Obadiah 1:3). This isn't about spiritual leadership, but a strategic positioning to control religious narrative, mirroring Edom’s attempts to usurp Yisrael’s inheritance and establish a false legitimacy built on borrowed ground. The ‘puppet’ rabbi isn’t a shepherd of Yahuah’s flock, but a figurehead meant to pacify and control, masking a deeper agenda of dominion.
However, within this seeming darkness, a thread of restoration is also visible, albeit a challenging one. Yahuah often uses the very tools of oppression to refine His people and reveal true allegiance. The exposure of this manipulation, and the growing awareness of counterfeit authority, will inevitably drive a remnant to seek genuine connection with Yahuah and Yahusha, moving beyond superficial religious structures. As prophesied in Jeremiah 31:28, “I will put my law within them and write it on their hearts,” signaling a shift from external observance to internal transformation. This event, while a manifestation of control, will ultimately serve to expose the false and draw those truly seeking Yahuah into a deeper, more authentic relationship with Him, paving the way for the eventual, complete restoration of Yisrael through Yahusha.
