It is a very sad day for those of us who still remember October 1973. And how this legendary LION of men disregarded orders of his mediocre superiors and broke the back of Egyptian army and saved Israel. Whatever his faults and shortcomings, and they were plenty - Arik Melekh Israel will always live in our national memory, together with Maccabees and other great heroes of our people. I am writing this with tears coming to my throat. He was a great MAN, a great fighter - and we shall remember and cherish him forever.

What a great General, PM and a family man. He was a true patriot of Israel, he loved his people and nation. G-d Bless and RIP

After a day or two everyone will forget about him unless a teacher requests it.

he's been getting paid 25,000 nis a month for last 8 years just to drive "these boys" around. I don't think he's been driving Arik lately.

LION Arik Sharon and May G D takes you to Gan Eden. Neshema Tehorah You worked hard and you gave your Life for Israel and the Jewish Nation. Now REST IN PEACE IN GAN EDEN

the casket but has passed through a gate of heaven in Jerusalem and is a young man again riding an Egad bus in Tel Aviv. So, he is the Wandering Jew after all, Joseph of Arimathea who has faked his death many times.

General since Joshua and the felling of the walls of Jericho.

a sample around since I don't believe he is in the casket. If he has a single strand of DNA, that would explain why I felt the presence of the heavenly Temple of HaShem at Chaim Sheba Medical Center when Sharon was there, as well as angels all around. The J shaped birthmark or scar under his left eye, more visible when he was younger, is the same as the J shaped scar on the Shroud of Turin, the burial cloth of Yahoshua. It could be Arik was/is an incarnation of Yahoshua and not Joseph of Arimathea, his mother's twin brother. Evangelist Tom Vanasperen of Florida believes the Jewish Messiah dies twice. This could have been the second death of Yahoshua which means the vision of Christ riding in a bus in Tel Aviv on the 14th I was shown is his resurrection. Anciently, only those close to Him saw his resurrection body which was different from the body He had before His crucifixion death. His VOICE was the same, however. Whether Arik is Joseph of Arimathea who passed through a heavenly gate in Jerusalem to become young again or if this was the Messiah in another advent, I do not know. But the body is not in the casket in either event since Joseph of Arimathea fakes his many funerals when he was Johannes Guttenberg, Leonardo da Vinci and others whose faces superimposed on each other is the same man. But the J shaped scar under the left eye is that of Christ. The height was different from the Christ of old, so that could be Joseph of Arimathea, shorter than the nearly six foot tall Christ. It is possible the conceptions of Mary the mother of Christ and Joseph of Arimathea (twins) were of the Ruach HaKadosh as well as the conception of Yahoshua. The Roman Catholic church believes Mary's conception was supernatural, but she had a twin brother so his conception would have been, too. Christ said there would be people still alive when he came again who were alive when he was on earth 2000 years ago. With HaShem all things are possible.
