Don't know how I missed these:
(a) One of the most important Israeli leaders is Itamar Ben-Gvir, the Minister of National Security. The settlers who support him (and whom he supports) are preparing to take over the West Bank, apparently with the promised support of the incoming Trump administration.
His Biblical namesake, Ithamar, was a significant figure in the Old Testament. He was the youngest son of Aaron the High Priest and Elisheba. His brothers were Nadab, Abihu, and Eleazar (whom I mentioned before). Ithamar was part of the first generation of the Aaronic priesthood. His role included offering sacrifices, maintaining the tabernacle, and teaching the people about God's laws. After the Tabernacle was built, Ithamar recorded an inventory to ensure it matched the vision God gave to Moses. (h/t Google AI)
(b) And of course there's Miriam Adelson, who is rumored to have donated $100 million to get Trump elected, on one condition - that he allow Israel to annex the West Bank.
Her Biblical namesake is described as the older sister of Moses and Aaron. The Talmud names her as one of the seven major female prophets of Israel. Scripture describes her alongside of Moses and Aaron as delivering the Jews from exile in Egypt: "For I brought you up out of the land of Egypt and redeemed you from the house of slavery, and I sent before you Moses, Aaron, and Miriam". According to the Midrash, just as Moses led the men out of Egypt and taught them Torah, so too Miriam led the women and taught them Torah.

Energized and led by the likes of Miriam, Itamar, and Bezalel, and supported by the memory of Eleazar, it seems clear (at least to me) that the House of Israel and the House of Judah soon will achieve their final redemption.
And if this is G-d's will, can anyone stand in their way or in the way of President-elect Trump?
